Devyatovskiy: Now that's how you start a good-old-fashion forum flame war!!! Great quality bait!

the first console I ever bought was PS2 (though I had NES and SNES growing up and some other consoles as hand-me-downs). PS2 was epic and I still love it to this day.

By the time I was ready to purchase a PS3, they got rid of the backward compatibility in hardware. Around that time, it started becoming apparent that Sony cared little for game preservation in general and was starting to shift toward making movie-like games. The removal of hardware backward compatibility was the driving factor, but also around that time, I started falling in love with the original Xbox (Halo and Fable to blame).

Anyway, 360 followed my PS2 and since then I've not looked back on Sony. After they killed their PSP and Vita and started pivoting even harder into games that play like B-rated movies, I knew that I made the right decision. It would be years before all the RPGs that made PS1/2 and PSP so memorable started showing up across all consoles.

Then Sony joined Nintendo is declaring an outright war on older games and started pulling plugs on older storefronts and making swaths of their library unavailable.

Fast forward and today I own a minifridge (S|X) and will likely never entertain the idea of having a melted piece of plastic (PS5).

TheNamelessOne_PL: Thoughts?

Braggadar: Stay tuned: next week's question will be "toilet paper vs bidet".

JacobSlatter: I will save you a glass from the bottle I just opened. Now how will I get it to you.
JacobSlatter: Folklore is good and cursed mountain is good minus the ending. Never heard of madworld but will look into it.

Catventurer: Normally OP's trolling is quite entertaining, but I feel like this one is a bit low effort considering that GOG doesn't sell either xbox or playstation games. It doesn't matter which of the two is preferred by anyone or if the answer is they both suck.

Sarang: Bleh NO game on XBox 360 blew me away like "Folklore". For Wii it was "Madworld" and "Cursed Mountain" and maybe a few others.
I do admit I loved "Lost Odyssey" but in terms of being the full suite, very few companies compare to pre-Sammy Sega.

Devyatovskiy: Oh I remember Lost Odyssey. The first jRPG that I've gone through 100%. Had every achievement in it and acquired literally everything the game had to offer. I think something close to 300-400 hours spent in it. Vast majority of it was mindless grinding. Not sure if I'd ever be able to pull something like that off again.

For me, that wasn't the selling point of 360, but rather Fable II and III... both of which turned out to be a massive disappointment riding on the heels of the first game. There were a few bangers that really got me hyped for 360. Lost Planet was one of them. There was a lot of stuff about Halo as well, but I didn't really care as much about the series after the first one. Then there was Gears of War which piqued my curiosity.

PS3 had a ton of stuff too, like the God of War games... and I loved the first couple of those on PS2 with a passion! There was also a lot of jRPGs which just never crossed over to Xbox side of things. If it weren't for them canning the backward compatibility with PS2, I'd be a complete Sony fanboi today... probably.

J Lo: GoG does sell PlayStation titles: https://www.gog.com/en/games?publishers=playstation-pc-llc

Catventurer: Okay, now you're engaging in low effort trolling because you know exactly what I meant. GOG does not sell games to be downloaded and played on a PlayStation or Xbox. It doesn't matter if the game was originally released on a console system, it's still going to be played on your computer. That is what I was referring to, and you know it.
