Steam is a "giant updates" offender. Just let me keep my old version that works like i like it, damnit. Main reason i go GoG and sail the seas.

you are charged for every minute of play time

I mean yeah, except that if you were good you could play a really long fucking time on one quarter so your per-minute rate was very low.

Fortune in misfortune though, at least in this day and age it's much easier to play those games without paying for them. Although the DRM on some of the newer games have been a a bitch and a half.

Still, yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!!

edit, added pic putting my money where my mouth is

I'm sorry but when I hear Nintendo gamers talk about all their games it's like "I play a lot of different games like: ‑ Mario ‑ Mario ‑ Mario with a green hat ‑ Mario with boxing gloves ‑ Mario in a car" 😁

The Metroid Prime games were incredible. Also shout-out to Chibi Robo, I loved that game.

God I miss Wind Waker. Still waiting for that HD remaster.

Had linux too

I have one of the super chunky OG PS3s thats compatable with PS1/2 games as well as DVD and bluray. I don't play it anymore but I'm never getting rid of it.

Nahhhh the 360 was better....

At the time, i was all-in onps3, because of the rrod bullshit, but looking back, virtually every single title that was released on both platforms, runs and plays better on 360.

both consoles were and are amazing today!

you can soft-exploit any ps3 in existence with only a usb stick and run all the unsigned code you want.

the 360 is significantly more complicated, there is a soft-mod out there now, but it's a little finicky. if you are brave and handy with a soldering iron you can put an RHG chip in there and reflash the bios to allow you to run unsigned code. I dropped a 2tb hdd into mine, which is more than i need for any and every game i ever even considered playing.

the ps3 is worth owning and playing for ps3 titles, the xbox360 is better for everything else.

bottom line: seventh gen was best gen

I had a GameCube back in the day no one ever moved it around with the handle. Sure you could move the console but you still had all of the wires and of course the controller to move as well so the handle, and of course you would need TV at the destination so wasn't really helpful.

I never understood who they handle was aimed at.

In theory you could take it over to your friends house but realistically all you did was just set it up where you wanted it and then never move it.

I mean they've shown it, so we know it doesn't.

But the community will make it happen.

The silly part is the GameCube is actually the most powerful console of that generation. The limited storage medium is actually what kneecapped it.

They even compromised the storage medium

They didn't need to compromise. They could have used standard DVD, but they instead designed a whole new format that would be harder to copy. The inner disc tray is recessed to only fit mini-DVD sized discs when it could easily have been made wider and taken full-sized discs.

Dreamcast because you could just burn a game to CD and run it on an unmodded console

My friend spent summers in Greece with his family. He said there was a shop there where you would give them like a few dollars and you would take the game home, burn it, and bring it back. Of course this is what doomed the Dreamcast. Noone wants to make a game for a system where you can just throw a disc into a consumer burner and copy.

I will always die on the hill claiming Dreamcast as the best console. It was so far ahead of it's time and it had so many great games. I would kill for Sega to release a new console, but I imagine many of the people who helped create the Dreamcast went on to work for Nintendo. I've always considered the Wii and Wii U to be the true successors to the Dreamcast and I've wondered if they were created with the help of people who made the Dreamcast.
