If you could have only one system, and you couldn't have illegal copies of games, which system would you choose?

Any generation counts.

This is going to make me sound like more of a cow than I am, but I'm going to have to go with a PS2 backward compatible PS3.

The PS2 has a massive library, and the PS3 has Metal Gear Solid 4. I'm a big MGS fan, so the PS3 covers my gaming needs on that side of the spectrum.





However, if I'm stuck in a situation where I have a lot of time on my hands and I could only have one system, I'd probably go with the PC, since you can waste a lifetime on MMORPGs. I would only pick this situation if I was doomed to be locked in a room with nothing but the system though.

The Xbox 360 Elite that sits in my apartment. It plays last gen titles that I like and has the best controller and library for me.

What does illeagal games have to do with this topic? But if you allow BC then the PS3 is a great choice as well as the Wii in reality.

I'd say the Wii. It's the only console where you can have access to every generation in gaming.

The same as you. I think the PS2 is the best console of all time, and being able to play SoTC, Zone of the enders, Ace Combat 4, Timesplitters, MGS2, Killzone 2, MGS IV, Dead Space, RE5, Resistance 2 all on one console would be bliss.

I say it because if you have a PC, you can technically get the entire SNES, Genesis, and PS1 libraries - just not legally. I think a lot of people would immediately default to PC if piracy was an option.

Because technically the PSP could play like 30 different consoles... so that doesn't count.. because its illegal. PS3 with BC would be my choice as well, get 3 consoles of some of the best games ever.

You'd be allowed to use the VC because it is legal. Uh oh! But the VC doesn't have Final Fantasy 1 on it! And probably never will!

That's a tough one. It would be a Wii, I think, because I can play Wii and GCN games as well a OoT remakes for the GCN and a lot of other old Nintendo Titles. But I have a Wii now and I don't feel like spending too much on it.

If I had no choice and had no PS3, I'll get a lot of old Nintendo games.

N64 and PS3 would be next options.

I know. Square Enix is too busy making another 5 remakes of every SNES - NES FF game that Square Soft made. =(

Heh, I suppose it's better than putting out crap... A shame for me, since I've played all those games at least twice through each. (FF1 I must have played at least 20 times... even though I hate the backtracking and random battles, something keeps making me come back to it - probably because it's relatively short.)

KOTOR was on the PC as well, and it had a lot shorter loading times (If your PC didn't suck that is.)

About 20 times in the remake, 100 in the original.

It has most of the games I care about from previous generations...







And even a lot that I don't care about:


I think I've said it enough today that Nintendo games really wear out for me, I can't play them more than once. Having played most of them, I could do without them... Except maybe Star Tropics.

Indeed. But fine, I would choose the Wii because it would have my favourite franchises, and epic backwards compatibility (which is why I said PC)

PC is valid. I guess I should change the title now.

A PS3 that can play PS2 and PS1 games would be hard to compete with. That's A LOT of games.... Though I think the Wii with the VC and being able to play Gamecube games would be a tough opponent as well

But what if your favorite games are platformers, JRPG's, Sports games, and fighting games? It's hard to choose a PC over a console in this case, mods or not.

id bring a PC; PC has the largest library of games if you include free games on the internet. But i would probably waste time by getting an MMO or two and playing that for the rest of my life.

So if you subtract all the Nintendo games off the VC (Because I lack interest) that fails?

Oh, hey, did you know that Ogre Battle was on the PS1?
http://www.gamespot.com/ps/strategy/ogrebattlelimitededition/index.html

The VC also doesnt have Chrono Trigger, and probably never will... I actually have the PS1 disc for that.

PS3...I would play all the PS2 and PS1 games and then I would install Linux and emulate Gamecube(would probably run like crap), N64, SNES, NES, and GB games because there are too many good ones.

Wii

You get it all. Games, BC, VC, WiiWare, Nintendo exclusives, games the entire family can enjoy, free online, best controller/accessories, no RROD/YLOD, sleek/compact, less expensive games, unique Wii Channels (Forecast, News, Mii, Vote), and as of now it's the hippest console.

PC for sure.... 360 is not worthwhile just for one game...
