Best Game System

belicimabambina · 10-22-2004

Well, I like Playstation 2 because of the networking capability and because it's a lot smaller and lighter than Xbox. And because of those addicting Final Fantasy games. :P

Wii and PC are first equal for me. PC for strategy games, like Warcraft III, Supreme Commander, and Wii for all else.

I have always preferred the PC. There are several reasons... I remembers when computers were cool and consoles played pong. I have never gotten on with controllers. Too small, stupid little joystick things and not enough buttons.
Whenever I have tried to play with them it involves lots of wires trailing across the living room floor. Not good if the wife wants to watch some telly.

Every game I have tried on a PC that was designed for a console as well has been rubbish. All of the games I have loved on the PC, when they make the move to a console they have to be crippled or reduced in some way.

The first console that I am remotely interested in is the Wii more for the controller and the way it changes the relationship between the player and the game. I also like the idea that they are not trying to set the world on fire with the graphic but concentrate more on game play.

Ditto, but I also own a DS for those times you don't have a power plug and a TV

SNES and Genesis (Mega Drive).

Newer systems: Dreamcast.

Wii sucks. The Wii remote and Nunchuck is worth close to nothing and poorly designed. Give me a xbox 360 or ps3 any day.

EDIT: and lol lol lol on me. Im just kidding.

If I needed to pick any gaming system, it would have to be PC. I can always use an emulator if I wanted to play an old school SNES or Sega game.

hessiess · 05-29-2007

pc is the best system becose you can upgrade them wen new games come out. consoles are junk becose thay go out of date so quickly. the only consoles that wore worth buying wore the master systems and the saturn these will never go out of date in having games witch wore actualy worth playing!

Overall, I'd say a PC , as nearly all games are available for computer, whether emulated or not

, and your able to make and compile your own.

Good luck emulating a PS2/Xbox

hmm.. But isn't it pre-alpha in terms of speed and compatibility?

the PC. There is no competition here. Especially if you add in all the console emulators.

Games on my PC:
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Quake 2 Evolved
Urban Terror
Mario Kart 64
Super Mario All Stars & World
Dr. Mario
Tetris
Civilization II
Chess
Sudoku
FreeCell
Spider Solitaire
Gargoyles (for GameBoy)
Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit
Mortal Kombat 1-4
Super Smash Brothers
Fallout 2
1942
Super Metroid
Contra III
Bust a Move
Monopoly 64
Snow Board Kids 2

Probably some others I'm missing. Over all though, that list easily dominates any console in existence today. Also, Playstation 2 and Gamecube emulation are getting closer every day, so expect this list to keep growing.

Why do people bother wasting money on a new console? Mario Kart 64 is still probably the best game of all time anyway, when you've got four peeps around.
