Shotgun-Bill Posted November 29, 2001 well lets see, i can choose a console or my computer, which is possesed by satan himself. i will just stick with my beloved dreamcast. /me hugs dreamcast dont worry, daddy will never leave you 0 Share this post Link to post
EllipsusD Posted November 29, 2001 I love my PC (when it isn't acting up), but I can buy a console for cheaper than a new GeForce 3 (and a Dreamcast is only $50 now). I prefer not to choose between them, I see the benefits of both. As for which console I prefer, I would have to say Game Cube for the moment. All have their fair share of good games, but the Game Cube is actually able to boast the portability of the PS1 now that an attachable screen has been released. 0 Share this post Link to post
danarchist Posted November 29, 2001 You see, I posted this because my 'friend' just sold me a faulty DC...this threw me back into my depression, got me to do some soul searching, etc. and the end result: I have renounced consoles for good. Viva la PC! 0 Share this post Link to post
doomsick Posted November 30, 2001 PCs! fps just don't feel right on consoles, though they are good for when a friend comes over *living room deathmatch*! 0 Share this post Link to post
EllipsusD Posted November 30, 2001 PCs! fps just don't feel right on consoles, though they are good for when a friend comes over *living room deathmatch*! I fully agree. I think that making keyboard/mouse adaptors for consoles should be a much more common practice if they plan on puting FPS's on the machines. Then again, most people who buy consoles do so for the adventure/rpg games that are released for them. At least that's what I've seen. 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted November 30, 2001 each has it's own strengths, a console is great for gaming in a comfortable non-fuss way, but what happens when you want to start making your own levels, going on the net, downloading pwads and barking at the other lost souls on dworld forums? heh, heh, pcs will alwys own in the end... 0 Share this post Link to post
danarchist Posted December 1, 2001 Sorry, Cren, but thats just such a cool saying... Consoles are good for one thing. Parties. Plug in any racing game, fighting game, or Mario Party, and tere will be fun for hours. But thats about it. Well, I did get to play GTA3 last night...muahaha. Basicaly any game that gives you free reign in a city is fun in my books. I heard its coming out/has come out for PC though. If this is true, I'm so getting it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Red_Warrior Posted December 1, 2001 Of the new consoles, I love my Dreamcast ^_^ some games you can get for $5 *cough*Super Magnetic Neo(aka 'stoned magnet dude')*cough* and like it's older sibling the Saturn, you don't need a freakin' mod-chip for imports ^_^. DC, Saturn... my two favorite consoles. And Fur Fighters is a fairly good FPS. Fight with stuffed animals? With big guns? ^__^ Veeery interesting for deathmatches.... (and this isn't a 'furry' thing... it's a good game) 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted December 1, 2001 Well, I did get to play GTA3 last night...muahaha. Basicaly any game that gives you free reign in a city is fun in my books. I heard its coming out/has come out for PC though. If this is true, I'm so getting it. That shouldn't be too hard, it's Unreal-engined... 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted December 1, 2001 I remember the days when a playstation was considered flawless and nothing compared to it. Now no one even knows what the best console is, they all got negative shit to them. Therefore as long as the pc doesn't crash I'll stick with it, and if it will crash I still have my old psx and doom for it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Red_Warrior Posted December 1, 2001 I remember when the Atari 2600 was state of the art. Sure, I was really little, but I did get to play a few games... Pitfall ^.^.... I haven't played it for nearly my entire lifespan ;_;. And I remember being wowed by the pwetty colors the SNES displayed when it first came out... at that time, really never heard much of the Genesis.... ironically I was raised on Nintendo, but I still like Sega more ^_- and not just for foxies and hedgehogs. Vectorman.... NiGHTs into Dreams.... Rocket Knight Adventures.... *sighs* 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted December 1, 2001 ahh yes, good ol' atari days. I used to love those 50 in 1 game cartriges. Then I progressed to a 486 and first played doom. The atari was gone in like a week. 0 Share this post Link to post
Red_Warrior Posted December 1, 2001 I still love my Saturn to death! Thankfully there's some available fairly easily online in case mine goes the way of my Playstation (i.e. DIES!). Fairly inexpensive games from near to far! Hell, I even have a PAL game (Panzer Dragoon) that I got for $7 from England! Yay ^_^.... and there's Rayforce... aka some-stupid-name-they-made-up-in-the-US.... Raystorm's one of my PSX games I miss playing the most ;_; not the best arcade transition, but the soundtrack's a KILLER! Rayforce is it's daddy ^_^ I think Raycrisis was the third of the series... haven't played it though. Hmmph. 0 Share this post Link to post
danarchist Posted December 1, 2001 Huh. I always lived in a console-free house. My first system was a Commadore 64. I was 5, typing several lines of command to get one game to run...damn, no wonder I'm a computer nerd. I got a Game Boy when I was about 12, and my first actual console, a 64, was obtained earlier this year. 0 Share this post Link to post
Crendowing Posted December 1, 2001 All the consoles I've ever owned: Atari 2600 NES Genesis (with 32X) PS1 Game Boy GBA I voted the "fuck consoles" option. Ever since I really started playing DOOM about 4 years ago, I've hardly ever approached a console. The only real purpose I see for them is for those that have very little or no literacy with computers. 0 Share this post Link to post
Crendowing Posted December 1, 2001 My first system was a Commadore 64. I was 5, typing several lines of command to get one game to run.Heh, I know what you mean. It wasn't half as bad on the Commodore 128 my mom got when I was 1 year old. I do remember having to type something like "LOAD...,8,1..." stuff like that. Had it not been for my idiot dad, I probably would be a DOS wizard by now. 0 Share this post Link to post

pritch Posted December 2, 2001 Hell, I used to use something called a BBC at school. We're talking writing out each line of a program like such; 10 o. 20 p. 30 If 2=S* GOTO END 40 Elseif "New Game y/n?" etc. etc. It was similar to the OPL language used on early psions. Talk about ancient... 0 Share this post Link to post
