07.05.19 | Tough to say. Gamecube has the most nostalgic games like Zelda: Windwaker, Sonic Riders, and Mortal Kombat: Deception. But I'd still have to say PS3 because it has the highest concentration of great games. Also, shoutout to PS2, it was ahead of its time. I mean I can almost fit mine in my pocket lol. |

07.05.19 | PS2 would only cost you $50 or so and it has arguably the best game library of any console I m o |
Nerdurosis
07.05.19 | PS2, absolutely. Games back then felt more...authentic or something. Idk, I guess it was because I was younger and part of the reason is driven by nostalgia, but the PS2 had an incredible library. |

07.05.19 | @Bloc. Good pick, mine still works beautifully. Love the original three Mortal Kombat games, Aliens, and Desert Strike. |

07.05.19 | The Switch is absolutely worth the investment right now. It has an insanely good game library already and it's only going to get better. Plus you can play it wherever you want which gives even more value to every game you get on the system.
If you want something cheaper, get an older Wii that plays Gamecube games. Two consoles in one effectively with lots of great games for both.
The 2DS XL is also excellent and has the best game library of any handheld ever. You can get it for less than $200 and it's worth every penny.
As you can see I'm a huge Nintendo fan lol but those are my honest recommendations |

07.05.19 | If we’re talking modern consoles, the Switch is the best imo, but basically has no video streaming apps
PS4 has incredible exclusive games but holy fuck I hate their software and they are missing so many streaming apps because they want to promote the pile of shit that is PlayStation Vue
Xbox One has a great UI and with GamePass and EA Access you can get sooooo many very good/AAA games for a super low price
If we’re not talking modern consoles, very hard for me to pick between PS2 and N64 |

07.05.19 | wait for the PS5, full backwards compatibility will make it worth it.
if youre not willing to wait, I'd say pick up a PS4 on the cheap and buy God of War. |
Trebor.
07.05.19 | Honestly I've been ruined by PC. Can't imagine having to break out a console and be limited to whatever games happen to be available on one console |

Can't imagine not being able to play God of War, Last of Us, Breath of the Wild etc |
Keyblade
07.05.19 | N64 easy |
Wildcardbitchesss
07.05.19 | Honestly PS4 + PC is the way to go.
I plan on getting a switch whenever the next Nintendo console comes out |
Wildcardbitchesss
07.05.19 | You can play a shit load of Xbox exclusives through the Microsoft store on PC
And trebor, you’re really missing out if you don’t play PS games. The Last of Us, God of War, and Bloodborne are worth it alone |
Slex
07.05.19 | Uncharted 4 is still the best PS4 exclusive, I’m a God of War fanboy and I still don’t understand the hype for that game |
Wildcardbitchesss
07.05.19 | Uncharted 4 is damn good too, maybe you just didnt like the change in direction for GoW?
i still think The Last of Us has them all beat. |
Arditi
07.05.19 | Horizon Zero Dawn is another great PS4 exclusive. |
ArsMoriendi
07.05.19 | Probably the Nintendo Switch, although the GameCube has heavy nostalgia for me since it was my first console ever |
Slex
07.05.19 | Wildcard I was all about the change actually, I just think the main storyline is too short and that gameplay-wise it gets too repetitive, the previous games had the spectacle to cover that up whereas the new one didn’t, it’s weird like it added new strengths but those strengths highlighted the weaknesses of the series imo
Also yes Horizon Zero Dawn is extraordinary |

07.05.19 | I'd say the DS ecosystem is possibly the best bang for one's buck right now. Has the one of the largest quantities of incredible first party titles in a console library due to the eshop including a metric fuck tonne of retro games. Insanely high quality series with ridiculous replay value/campaign lengths (Mario, Zelda, Professor Layton, Ace Attorney, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Dragon Quest, Megami Tensei, etc etc), as well as a lot of incredible one-off titles. All portable. Various console sizes and prices, with 2DSs going for next to nothing at this point in time. The console just gets better and better the more I think about it. |
Slex
07.05.19 | Tbh yeah I have a Switch and still really really want a 3DS lol |
ramon.
07.05.19 | Do it, dude. I feel now is honestly the best time for people to dip into the DS ecosystem. A lot of the first party titles can be found for great prices. A fair few of my favourite games, period, are on the 3DS. Fingers crossed the eShop sticks around for a few more years. |
Slex
07.05.19 | The eshop is so so amazing. I bet the damn thing actually has Netflix too lmao, The Switch’s lack of streaming apps drives me mad |
ramon.
07.05.19 | It indeed had Netflix. And a working internet browser. And a bunch of other apps. I understand Nintendo's sentiment wanting to keep the Switch clean but simultaneously, it just encourages people to mod their consoles. |
Slex
07.05.19 | Yeah the gigantic number of classic titles and the streaming apps has maybe sold me, might just have to pick one up soon |
Sinternet
07.05.19 | switchhhh |
Saros
07.05.19 | The PS2 was one of my first consoles and I have more games for it than any other system I have. There's practically too many to list on the subject of good games. |
RolyPoly
07.05.19 | The game where I go outside and get fresh air, you should try it |
Gyromania
07.05.19 | ps4 and nintendo switch. avoid the shitbox. gotta say though, i friggin loved the original xbox and xbox 360. remember when they had exclusives? good times. |
zakalwe
07.05.19 | In terms of exclusives and quality games SNES. |
Gyromania
07.05.19 | yeah but you could just use an emulator. snes is a top 5 console though agreed. with a lot of the better romhacks that we have nowadays though for games like yoshi's island, super mario world, etc., the console seems kind of useless now unless you're feeling nostalgic |
DungeonBoy
07.05.19 | SNES and PSX |
bloc
07.05.19 | Does PC count as a console? If so, change my pick to PC. SNES emulator brooooo |
Keyblade
07.05.19 | jheeze that reminds me of my emulator days off the mid 00s. SNES, GBA, PSX. good times man |
bloc
07.05.19 | Same, I still run that shit from time to time. Been waiting for a decent 3DS emulator though lol |
Keyblade
07.05.19 | i got a snes classic that's basically a snes + nes + gba + genesis emulator all in one but in HD on my tv and with the og snes controllers. unbeatable |
SitarHero
07.05.19 | Does PC count as a console? If so, change my pick to PC. SNES emulator brooooo [2] |

07.06.19 | “I have some money for a console and a game. Which one do you recommend? I’m not willing to put in effort for a gaming pc.” |
Keyblade
07.06.19 | man I'm glad I'm out of the pc game, the neverending pursuit of more graphical or computing power is existing |
