I voted 10/10. I have few complaints; it is the most powerful console I have ever used, and the 'quick resume' function is truly impressive. Still my favorite controller and I really like how easy to dashboard is to use. Cannot wait for Halo Infinite.

I've been playing FF since 1 on the NES, the only ones I have not played are X/X-2 and 15. I tend to strongly prefer the retro style FF games, so my opinion of them has really depreciated. I have the X collection and plan to work through that one soon.
VIII gets an honorable mention, and that's sad because there is some great stuff in this game. The shortcomings are well-documented just like the things they did well; the biggest gripe I had was the story. What an absolute clusterf*** it becomes towards the end. Straight up silly.
I actually quit 13 about halfway through, which is something I rarely do once I've put that much time in. There was really nothing good about that game; I would consider it to be easily the worst of the group but I haven't played 15. 12 also disappointed me. There are enough features (MMO feel, good characters, interesting enough plot, great environments) to keep it interesting but the combat never felt right to me, the level-up system is needlessly complex and the dungeons were extremely boring & repetitive.
Those 3 would all be mentioned in my list but 13 would take the cake.
@Starshine_M2A2: Those kinds of people need a place to go. Keep it that way so they stay off the other forums.
@RSM-HQ: I really want to like Village, but I am vastly unimpressed by Biohazard and I am a person who absolutely loves survival/horror games. I'm still (slowly) working my way through it but I have gotten tired of the 'invincible bad guy chases you around' gimmick very quickly; it's just a lazy way to create false suspense. It wouldn't be so bad if it was more sporadic like in Silent Hill 2 or the original Resident Evil 2. Having them show up every 15-20 minutes (so far) is just not scary, suspenseful, or fun. It is straight up ruining the game for me; I find myself laughing more than anything while I play it which doesn't seem right. Superhumans spewing obscenities and shambling around the house behind you like a robot...It just feels so ridiculous. Capcom leans on this waaaaay too much, and so far for me it has done the game no favors. I have come across one enemy type other than the family, and I'm not even really sure what it is. Really wanted to like this one
I liked the Demo for Village so I'm very hopeful. I'm sure they won't be able to resist the invincible baddy though...
Yes, I technically have two since I prefer to have access to so many consoles without having to change connections and all that jazz. One is more PC centric and the other is mostly consoles new and old.
The Legend of Zelda on the NES was the first game to make a lasting impression on me. I have great memories of playing Super Mario Brothers for the first time as well, but Zelda blew my mind to the point where it created a permanent fascination.
@SOedipus: That right there is the biggest difference. You bought a SNES cart and that is what you got. I'm sure the development process has changed (obviously) through the years, but the constant rush to throw unfinished games on the shelves, sometimes not even fixing them once they are discovered to be poor, is and always will be disappointing.
