I could go on…
If PC was like consoles, you would get a PC and have about 5 years to acquire games for it. Then when PC2 comes out, you need to buy a brand new PC2, and all the games you bought for PC1 won't work on PC2. You have to start from square 1 and build a new library up from scratch, including some games that you already bought for PC1 that have been "remastered" for PC2. Sure, your PC1 games will still run on your old PC1, but they aren't making PC1 systems anymore and the clock is ticking as to how long your PC1 will actually keep working. If you bought digital games on PC1, you are particularly screwed once they decide to shut down the PC1 servers and focus entirely on PC2.
Thankfully PC doesn't have such "generational resets" to deal with. Almost 20 years on Steam, and I have 20 years of Steam games to play. Nintendo meanwhile has launched and killed off four different digital platforms in the past 20 years.
5 dollar used console game at gamestop or ebay, play it sell it on ebay 4 dollars
total cost 1 dollar for a game. pc cant res3ll is crazy
I would grant that of that generation, the PS2 had the best library by sheer numbers. It was an awesome generation though.
Said it many times on here. I'm lucky in that I was there at the beginning of gaming in the 1970s. Got into it immediately with building my first computer and never looked back. Worked as a freelancer for the PS magazine and others too.
I never sell my games and never stick to one platform either because it's silly. Platforms are only as good as the games thereon. Without them it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless.
And of all the eras, the early to mid 1980s was a golden age, but slightly better was the PS2 era. Not only did we have FOUR major consoles on the go at the same time, but we had a staggering sweet spot of games being big and complex while the budget were not too excessive so experimentation was still allowable.
I have over 550 games on my PS2 and I still play so many of them regularly. There's just TONS of greats on there, but there's also loads on the Xbox too. Personally I've never liked Halo though I've tried but the Xbox is FAR more than merely those two games.
Likewise the Gamecube. Though it's light on content in some areas (like racers for example) there's still tons of really good content on there too, as is the Dreamcast.
So you're not entirely wrong. Just that platofrm monogamy is silly.
Personallly I absolutely adore some of the more weird and silly games.
Ribbit King
What's not to love about a game where you play a weird variant of minigolf with mallets and frogs and the referee is a gay alien rastafarian thing?
Gregory Horror Show
A niche Japanese animation but a truly great kid's horror game, but is great for any age. It's puzzle solving and you have to deal with all the residents of this weird mansion. It's cool as hell and unique.
Mister Moskeeto
You are a mosquito that flies around a household and you have various tasks and puzzles to solve in order to reach your goal of sucking blood from the tenants.
Kuri Kuri Mix (aka The Adventures of Cookie and Cream)
Controlling two characters as one player before Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons did it. Cute and clever.
Project Zero 1, 2 and 3
The best horror series by far, and the best entries. As good as the best Silent Hill outings and better than Resident Evil.
Enthusia
A late racer by Konami of all people. Cars handle really well but what makes this unique is that you level up cars through usage.
SCAR Squadra Corse Alfa Romeo
As above, it's a weird racer that at first seems horrible, but that's because it has an RPG like levelling system where your skills and such improve over time, meaning the handling gets better as you progress. Not the best racer but it's unqieuness shines through.
There's MANY more than this but that's just a taste of the uniqueness we've lost.
Yes. Reselling. Limited stock. Scarcity. If I want to complete my Xenosaga trilogy, I can expect to shell out about $250 USD for Also Sprach Zarathustra, and Bandai Namco won't see a penny of that money.
Not to mention that the idea of "owning" a physical console game will soon be a thing of the past. It's just the way the winds are blowing. Already, many physical console releases don't even contain the actual game data, and both the Xbox and Playstation either have, or are rolling out with versions of their consoles that complete lack a disk drive at all. It doesn't feel like all that long ago when the idea that digital games would pass physical games on console was laughable, but we passed that point years ago now. Big retailers like Walmart are phasing out their physical media sections entirely. It's not that hard to imagine physical media on console disappearing entirely anymore.
We've already been here on PC forever now, but at the very least Steam is stable. It's not going anywhere. 20 years on Steam and I can play all my games that I've accumulated, and 20 years from now that will still be true. The same can't be said for consoles with their generational cycles.
. . . the PS2 had such a great library of games. Wish mine still worked.
Absolutionism isn’t practical.
Ps2 was great for RPG’s; mostly JRPGS. If that was your thing. Some platformers too.
X360 was a First/Third Person Shooter power house. Those COD lobbies bring back… memories.
The 360 was massive and the leader of it's generation so in that respect this is rather silly.
