What generation has been your favorite so far for consoles?

[Mr_No]

This is really hard.

I can't say much on the fifth generation, it's one of the generations I've experienced the least games. I didn't have many PS games apart from Gran Turismo 2, Driver 2 and Smackdown 2. Winning races by speeding into the corner barriers was one of my few options to advance for the Escudo Pikes Peak Version. Not proud of it, but it worked. It was my last foray on Nintendo games with the N64, where the only noteworthy games I had were Super Mario 64 and WWF No Mercy. I enjoyed the latter a lot, and it still holds up to this day more than any other game on that console.

I think it was with PlayStation 2 when I started to get a foothold on gaming. Those school nights, playing the GTA's non-stop, getting into the MGS games and falling in love with them, playing and replaying unsung gems like The Getaway and Max Payne 1 and 2, loving cars even more thanks to Need For Speed Underground 2, rekindling my love for platformers with Ratchet & Clank, sucking terribly at fighters with Tekken 5... People love to hate on this one for couple of reasons, but it was the one that pushed me farther into gaming.

Going into the PS3 with GTA IV was such a treat back in 2009, later that year discovering the joys (and misfortunes) of online gaming. That year I dove head first into Uncharted, which I have not regretted to this day. College was painful in more than one way, so going back home to play MGO and lose miserably thanks to my 2 Mb internet was quite something. I went more to Gamestop to check out any games I could buy, having a better chance to play stuff I haven't before: Mortal Kombat, Red Dead Redemption, InFamous... A gen with its ups and downs (I'm looking at you, PSN), but it is one I have fond memories going back to.

I still remember the day I went with my brother to Best Buy and he awkwardly picked up a PS4 off the shelf. It was the Arkham Knight bundle, glinting in my eyes. Whatever. It was a gen I'd hate to admit I switched to a more conservative approach in playstyle, avoiding competitive PvPs and playing one game for most of the time. But I also feels like the one I'm having the most fun, as contradictory as it seems. I can buy whichever game I want now, and getting cool freebies here and there.

I can safely say it's the sixth gen the one that is my favorite and has brought me a lot of joy at the time.
