Forums - Gaming Discussion - my sega megadrive (genesis) is more precious to me then ps4

Outdated you say. You are doing yourself a great mischieve. There are games from nes sms to ps2 dc gc. That are epic and graphically still relevant. No dlc and no micro and drm bs. You are playing the game and that is what you do. No updates. Just play that game.
Ps one has a huuuuuuuuuge library epic timeless rpg's
Saturn has panzer dragoon saga
Megadrive has phantasy star and crusader centy. An underated yet better rpg then zelda imo
Snes has omg breath of fire and lufia
N64 ( not my thing) but zelda woooooooow.
Sms and nes. Ys vanished omen. Outdated graphics for sure. But give it an effort and you will cry and rage quit cause u dont have the skills perhaps.
Ps2 omg huuuuuuge rpg library and loads of genres non existant on ps3 and 4
Gamecube. Billy the hatcher. Metal gear solid 1 remaster( only on gamecube)
By the way the dc gc and ps2 have games with private servers.
Basically that gen was the last that had the freedom of owning.

 

 

edit i forgot to give the dc some props

skies of arcadia

jet set radio

shenmue

elemental himmic gear

headhunter

resident evil code veronica( best on dc cause all the rest is just ports)

This is why I don't understand why people always harass others for their preferred console. I hated the ps3. It was, IMO, a huge huge huge downgrade and decline in quality from the ps2 and has a very boring library. I enjoyed my Wii more than it, and I have enjoyed my Wii U much much more than my Xb1 or PS4. I literally have two games for ps4 (most exclusives are very disappointing) and 4-5 for Xb1 (mostly multiplats to play with my friends that don't PC), yet I have 18 for my WiiU, the system that gets crapped on daily from most people. Not everyone has the same tastes. I will never play another Infamous or Quantum Dream or Knack, since they all bored me to tears and just were not fun, yet I know that people love those games. I don't want to play games that I feel forced to finish just to validate my purchase.

We all have different tastes.


The thing is opinions are irrelevant and nobody cares. The fact is that the world disagrees with you and the majority rules. The WiiU is not a good system to the majority so what point are you trying to make? Your preference is just YOUR preference.

 

I could careless about old consoles and only have a PS2/PS3,niether of which I play anymore.Old consoles have not value because they games are outdated personally.

Well, we clearly have different tastes, as there are no games on PS4/XB1/WiiU that are as good as the best games on SNES/PS1/PS2. But hey, old consoles definitely have no value when people pay $90 just for a cartridge of Chrono Trigger, right? All i know is I'm glad that I am able to look past a games "graphics" and enjoy it for what it is, not what it looks like. 

But yes, old consoles and games have no value, which is why all of the most voted games down below are recent, since they have more value:

Also, I agree that the PS4/XB1 are better systems. I don't think anyone would say they aren't. My point is, some people LIKE other systems more, just like OP does, and there is nothing wrong with that

Imo from sms and nes on all consoles are not out to date. Atari 2600 is. Those consoles were mostly about high scores and challenges and had little to no story. I still love commodore 64c just because of black hawk

The WiiU is a good system, the fact is the majority are brainwashed by the other two's marketing like in there commercials, that never show any gameplay footage and games are sold like they are a movies, just because something does not sell well does not mean it is bad at all, the masses are controlled by marketing, these are your casual "gamers" that play sports games and games like cod and gta.

The fact that you choose to play multiplats on xbox one with lower resolution and calling the ps3 library boring shows you dislike Sony products to begin with in my opinion. The ps4 gets exclusives every month from Japan just like in your beloved ps2 era, games exclusivley not on the wiiu or xbox one.

I don't dislike Sony products, and if you read my post properly, I said I only have an XB1 to play multiplats with my friends (all have an XB1 and don't play on pc), otherwise I would get rid of it as it has no value to me. I take my ps2 with me wherever I go. I have a vita, I just replayed Bloodborne on my ps4. I play games regardless of what system they are on; if a system has games that interest me, I will buy it, whether it is Sony or Nintendo or Microsoft. My point is, I think they started to take a much different direction with their games and focus after the ps2. There used to be so many great, unique games that were exclusive to the PS systems and not found elsewhere (DMC, onimusha, Silent Hill/Fatal Frame, Jak, Socom, SMT, Okami, Shadow Hearts, Ico/SOTC, Breath of Fire, Suikoden,  many many more, etc.), but I have not found this to be the case with the ps3/4. I am disappointed. I am looking forward to some games but I just feel like there's still something missing. I have more important things to worry about than having a dumb allegiance for one company.



Hi

While I don't encourage the sale of old consoles to get new ones...the fact you can easily and cheaply make a sweet all-in-one emulation box for pre-5th gen with a Raspberry Pi has made the idea of collecting these old games kind of laughable. Play the old games...any and all of them, some fan translated, with the ease of use from save states and a modern controller. Nostalgia can go take a hike IMO.



I'm still debating on whether or not to sell my little brother off for a PS4. But I make a decent wage so might just buy it that way instead
