Hey all. I am 23 and started seriously gaming during the PSX/N64/Saturn generation. I was thinking what was my favourite generation from the past 3 and was wondering what you guys feel was your favourite?

PSX/N64/Saturn:

Including: Not close to exaustive

Final Fantasy 7 & 8 &9 & Tactics, Xenogears, Banjo Kazooie, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Gran Turismo 1 & 2, Metal Gear Solid, Super Smash Bros, Pokemon, Twisted Metal, Lunar, Legend of Dragoon, Chrono Cross, Syphon Filter, Spyro, etc.

PS2/Dreamcast/Xbox/Gamecube:

Including: Not even close to exaustive

Final Fantasy 10 & 12, Gran Turismo 3 & 4, Splinter Cell Series, Ratchet & CLank Series, Jak series, Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, Shenmue Series, Halo 1 & 2, Max Payne, Grand Theft Auto 3 & Vice City & San Andreas, God of War 1 & 2, Ico, Shadow of the Colluses, Guitar Hero, Metal Gear 2 & 3, Deus Ex, etc.

PS3/Xbox 360/Wii: Not close to exaustive

Halo Series, Uncharted 1 & 2, Gears of War, Infamous, Killzone 2 & 3, Fable Series, Red Dead Redemption, LA Noire, Assassin's Creed, Orange Box, Mass Effect, Little Big Planet, Metal Gear 4, Recent Call of Duty's, etc.

Personally the PS2/Dreamcast/Xbox/Gamecube generation is my favourite as I felt developers were not trying to copy each other as much (although many such as Jak 2 tried to imitate GTA) compared to now where everyone wants to be COD. Also there were many more quality RPGs in my opinion.

Second would be the PSX/Dreamcast/N64 era as the PS1 has many of the greatest games ever.

This generation is my least favourite but there are still many incredible games that I am fortunate to have played. The focus on multiplayer has taken away from single player campaigns which I prefer. After hitting prestige 10 in MW I don't really like online anymore.

psx all the way! ff, the true Resident evils!, all those great jrpgs.

It was a great gen. no doubt!

N64 ERA. Cause I like 3D games. And this was great, With Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, and Final fantasy VIII. I want to count deus ex in this era too.

Though the new era is great too. I think all of them have been.

5th gen, for the Nintendo 64.

It had some of the greatest games ever - it's top ten games are in my opinion better than the top ten games of any other console.

PS2 alone was better than all generations combined XD

Not that much but definitely the 6th generation.

I loved the PSX generation but there are still games for PS2 that I want to play. Hell there are more games on my PS2 list to get than there are retail titles for PS3 that I'm looking forward to.

I think the PS2 has the most amount of high quality original games. Such as Ico, Katamari Damacy, Kingdom Hearts, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper and many more.

Totally agree, I have so many games in that area that I truly enjoyed.
