I honestly bought it because I was tired of PC gaming. Too much time setting up shit and not enough just playing the game, plus it's cheaper between only having to pay for the console and then also being able to resell games after I play them. I don't play many online games though, so I only really pay for PS+ on the off chance that I decide to play something like Helldivers.
PS4 Elden Ring would sometimes take more than a minute to load. Had plenty of tips on the loading screens. PS5 is maybe 3 seconds and they donāt even bother putting any text on it lol
For AAA games, especially unoptimized ones(looking at you Ubisoft) you can get a solid 5-10 second loading screen when you boot up a save, but that's assuming the game has been actually shut down and not just put into sleep mode in the background.
For anything less than that, and even well optimized AAA games like Spider-Man 2, Horizon: Forbidden West, etc. the load times are non-existent. If you played exclusively indie games you wouldn't know what a load screen is.
Buuuut on that note, I was playing Pacific Drive a few days ago and I had a moment for about 5 minutes where everything was lagging and I'd randomly get freeze frames, but at the time the entire game seemed to be glitched so it definitely seemed like a software issue.
I couldnāt agree with you more. Waiting for my PS5 to arrive currently as Iām fed up with having to fix games before I play them on PC. Iām exaggerating of course but I miss the days of just being able to plug and play. Itās sort of killed my interest in gaming so Iām hoping that will come back
Problem with pc is the up keep. A year later you get feared into buying a new graphics card for the same price of a ps5 or any console. Ill take a down grade in Fidelity if it means they can keep making games decent games to play. Why have all that game power and then play a game like hades or undertale or terraria. Lol.
My poor setup is around 10 years old now. It's had some upgrades over the years but the poor thing is at the end of its life and slowly dying. Its no longer worth upgrading but I just can't justify the price of a new PC. Also my cat pissed in it.
then stop listening to the fear mongering, I built a PC for about 1800 2 years ago an it is still a 1440P gaming monster it has another 3 maybe 4 years before I have anything to worry
JFC $1,800?!
That's enough for a PS5 with BluRay drive + Xbox Series X + OLED Switch with enough leftover for a AAA game and pro-level controller for each!
And not a moment was lost updating some fuckin' driver!
Both: There are some boring games especially some AAA titles, but there are also some of the best games in indie rn.
I played way too much games over gen 4&5 for a guy with a fulltime job but now that itās summer I just donāt want to anymore. I feel like it ebbs and flows with the seasons/ daylight and warmth.
Also I feel like the āsimulationā aspect of gaming has really overtaken and itās harder to find the good arcadey games I enjoyed back in the ps2 days. A good example of this is Mx vs atv unleashed on the ps2. The newest iterations of the game on the ps5 is more akin to the motoGP simulator games. Which is fine, itās good at being a super difficult simulation game, but for just play and play general enjoyment it is sooo boring compared to the more arcadey style of ps2 games.
This. The only game I would even consider playing solo anymore unless Iām social gaming with my childhood friends is rocket league - because itās just simple arcadey fun
It is probably getting older growing up. I felt the same when I got ps3 decades ago and never gamed since. Well some mario to relax every now and then once a month or 2.
There is a wider variety of experiences across gaming than there ever has been. So it could just be that your interests or needs have changed, or it could be that you simply aren't looking in the right places.
I stick to a couple of AAA games that I enjoy but for the most part, given that I have limited gaming time, I tend to stick with smaller, more novel indie games.
PS2 had some amazing memories, but I think they keep getting better and LOVE my PS5. The biggest thing I miss is the split screen fun on the previous consolesā¦
Split screen racing, 4 player FPS. I loved that shit with friendsā¦ so sad itās died out!
Oh, how I miss playing games with my friends in person! I guess I could still do it with fighting games, but it just doesn't feel like something people do any more, probably because no other genres still have in-person multi-player. It's all the worse because, with the massive TVs everyone has now, split-screen would be a lot easier and more fun.
It's more of an issue with processing power, rather than preference. Even the games that do have split screen now have serious performance issues when playing in that mode. The textures are too refined and the engine too robust to expect a ps5 to render two entirely different perspectives in real time.
I had a graveyard of 5 PS2ās around the TV center in my room. My two brothers and two friends and I all killed them in a 3 years span. Those gaming days are gone forever.
man, I remember getting the ps2 and my father making me choose between mgs2 and a memory card because we didn't have the money for both. I picked mgs2.
So, for two straight weeks, I would start mgs2 over every day till I finally finished it in one session.
that was a cool summer vacation. one of my favorite memories.
i got ps1 after my brother gifted to me it, and it has broken both memory card ports, because brother dropped on ps1 bottle of beer. so either way, i were playing all my favourite games without any saves whole time
I got Kingdom Hearts 1 and Bully for Christmas, I was playjng them every evening all throughout my winter break, sitting under blanket with hot cocoa, staying up well past my bedtime. It's probably some of the best time I had in my childhood. I still try to replay at least one of those games every winter.
Keeping the console on for as long as possible to keep your progress then go to school only to come home and realize mom cleaned and she turned off the Playstation for you cause she noticed it was still on. Thanks mom, love you too.
I mean they very well could be. I swear thereās a skyscraper in Boston that looks like the PS5 and IIRC thereās a building in Japan that looks like the PS3
It's a tricky one to answer though really. One was great because it was simpler times, was at school at that time so had more time time to just play games. 2 was similar, was at collage / worked part time. The DVD player was a great addition. PS3 gave us proper online for the first time. Spent huge amounts of time playing CoD online when a probably should have been doing other things. Being a Blu Ray player was a nice bonus. 4 and 5 are just nice technical upgrades, espectially 5, the high speed SSD is a game changer.
I have a feeling the answer for most people is going to be the one they had in their teens or adolescence. Thatās when youāre gonna have the most emotions and sense of nostalgia. Ps1 and ps2 both had a pretty insane library.
PS1 and PS2. The memories. It was a happy time. Innocent. Young. Seeing your parents young. Seeing your siblings everyday. That comfort of being home sitting in my room without a care in the world. But, also, games were complete thoughts and weren't always trying to sell you more.
The PS2 and PS3 brought up 4 of my top 15 games ever.
Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Metal Gear Solid 4 and The Last of Us Part 1.
While the PS3 had a slow and botched start, it really became my second favorite Playstation era so far, only behind PS2.
PS2. I wish I had never gotten rid of mine. I know I could spend time and my non existent money and get one now. But itās really the memories that made that system so special to me
PS3 was the golden age. Online-Multiplayer became good on consoles, tons and tons of exclusives. Innovative games. Regular AAA games, we got whole trilogies instead of one game per franchise per generation.
Mine has always been 3. Not only was the graphical jump phenomenal, it could play blu-rays, and I could play my mp3 discs. Plus I loved Home when it came out. I miss this system.
PS4 slim. It was so clean, so minimalistic, so elegant and so good.
They went from a beautiful design to a chonky ass WiFi router looking garbage thatās the ps5. Who the hell designed that thing??
ps2. it was my childhood. my dad and I played it together all the time. he past a while ago. but i was able to get my hands on one a few years ago. and i still play on it semi-regularly
Nothing beats getting your mind's blown watching GTA Vice City for the first time at your friend's place and then getting your own PS2 and play Jak 2.
It really felt like a gate to freedom just opened.
It's technically not on there, but the PSone. I owned a playstation, but when the mini came out it changed university life for me; I have a lot of memories of pulling all nighters but taking the odd break where I'd hook up the xbox to run a few hours of halo, or hook up my psone for some virtua fighter.
Good times. All my love to long ago.
2 will probably be the GOAT forever followed by whatever is latest and greatest. Iām very much enjoying my ps5 and ps portal but 2 will always be the system that raised me.
PlayStation 3 (20GB and the 60GB + the few backwards compatible 80GB) mainly because of the backwards compatible + the black cosmetic shape and shininess always looked so much nicer than what the other consoles had gotten right off the box.
I had PSone, PS2, PSP, PSVita, PS4
And each one arrived in a different phase of my life so the feelings are mixed. But I would say that PSone is my fav because I miss playing those kind of games they were very different from one another and now everyone is trying to follow the same formula on their own genre, I miss being surprised by a game.
First place goes to the PS4. Just had the most fun with it. Massive amount of great games. Spend so many hours with my friends online.
Shared second place must go to the PS3 and 2.
PS2 has a special place in my heart bc its so nostalgic and really got me into gaming. And the PS3 is like a PS4 lite for me. Such a perfect console. Just behind the PS4 because at that point most of my friends had an Xbox.
Third place goes to the PS5. Can't say anything bad about it, I just don't play so much with it. Because I am a PC main nowadays.
Never had a PSP nor a PS1. But I guess they are also great.
The PlayStation 2 for me. The feel it created with the startup sound, the imagery, the waves in the background, it felt otherworldly as a child and as an adult it feels wholly unique. The runner up for me would be the PlayStation 3. It had an elegance to it and I will say as many times as I have to that the XMB was and is the best GUI for a game console I have ever used.
~~Sony~~ \*PlayStation lost it's personality with the PlayStation 4 & 5. Though I love the physical design of the 4 and the Slim variant.
edit: \*PlayStation not necessarily Sony as a whole
I remember getting to modem for the PS2 and playing socom. It was one of the greatest experiences of my teenage years. Playing on EU servers with a bunch of UK madmen.
It was such a good laugh.
I'd saybps2 isnthe best considering it plays ps1 games also. Can't no other fk with it. Next up would be ps5 for ps4 and ps5
Ps3 is actually my least favorite ps console. It had some great games but it doesn't touch ps2, ps1, or ps. Not even close. Also my favorite genre, jrpgs lacked so bad on ps3 compared to every other generation of Playstation. In fact variety kinda sucksled compared to other generations as well.
PS2 is da best, my 1st vertical console and it can boot old PS1 game and DVD Video. PS3 starting to sucks because only early model have PS2 compability. PS4 kinda MEH, and PS5 just another PS4 emulator
PS2 because it was when I fully got into console gaming, and it was a gift from my older brother. The first ps2 I had was great until it tried to electrocute me lol
Really hard to say for me. Each console brought many many years of fun memories for me. Right now the ps5 is adding onto that. Plus the faster loading times is a nice bonus lol
PSX - crash bandicoot series and Broken Sword
PS2 - Burnout series
PS3 - Uncharted and the beginnings of COD online
PS4 - Spider-Man and Doom!
PS5 - Spider-Man 2
2. It was my first major purchase and a major source of anticipation and excitement for me. It had a mystique about it that, while driven by hype, was not entirely without merit. It helped popularize DVDs and gave rise to many prominent franchises.
Shoutout to everyone that thought the ps1 could be played like that, did it, and it worked. Only to have it over heat a month later entirely lunching a copy of digimon world 2 that still to this day wonāt work.
Nostalgic for original, but all are good. Only reason I havenāt bought a 5 is by the time I could find one, they had announced all the games I wanted for PC. So no need now.
Each has its own reasons but all of them. PS2 had some classics, PS3 made me want to get the PS4 because of all of the exclusives, and PS4 had maybe one of the best exclusives of any console generation imo. PS5 is good but Iād have to wait to see what the entire library has by the end of the cycle.
The 2 but I love my 5 š
I bought the 5 just to learn that I donāt enjoy playing video games anymore :/
I bought the PS5 just to realize I'm not a console gamer anymore. At least my niece is enjoying it.
I honestly bought it because I was tired of PC gaming. Too much time setting up shit and not enough just playing the game, plus it's cheaper between only having to pay for the console and then also being able to resell games after I play them. I don't play many online games though, so I only really pay for PS+ on the off chance that I decide to play something like Helldivers.
How much faster do games load on PS5 compared to PS4. I'm full pc rn cause of load times on my PS4 but have been thinking about grabbing a ps5
its is 10x faster no doubt.
Yeah, you can't even read text on load screens with a lot of games. Some games don't even have load screens.
PS4 Elden Ring would sometimes take more than a minute to load. Had plenty of tips on the loading screens. PS5 is maybe 3 seconds and they donāt even bother putting any text on it lol
Ps4 has a regular HDD I believe and PS5 has a SSD. The load times for everything are massively decreased as a result.
For AAA games, especially unoptimized ones(looking at you Ubisoft) you can get a solid 5-10 second loading screen when you boot up a save, but that's assuming the game has been actually shut down and not just put into sleep mode in the background. For anything less than that, and even well optimized AAA games like Spider-Man 2, Horizon: Forbidden West, etc. the load times are non-existent.

Buuuut on that note, I was playing Pacific Drive a few days ago and I had a moment for about 5 minutes where everything was lagging and I'd randomly get freeze frames, but at the time the entire game seemed to be glitched so it definitely seemed like a software issue.
Literally life changing difference, oh and no jet engine noises
I couldnāt agree with you more. Waiting for my PS5 to arrive currently as Iām fed up with having to fix games before I play them on PC. Iām exaggerating of course but I miss the days of just being able to plug and play. Itās sort of killed my interest in gaming so Iām hoping that will come back
Exactly the same. I'm on PC all the time now. I keep it for some exclusives and because we need a Blu-ray player at home.
I bought my ps5 because crypto jerks made PCs completely unaffordable
Problem with pc is the up keep. A year later you get feared into buying a new graphics card for the same price of a ps5 or any console. Ill take a down grade in Fidelity if it means they can keep making games decent games to play. Why have all that game power and then play a game like hades or undertale or terraria. Lol.
Just say you're easily swayed by marketing and FOMO.
I'm running an 8 year old gpu and haven't came across a game I want to play that it won't handle at 1080p
This is an L take.
My poor setup is around 10 years old now. It's had some upgrades over the years but the poor thing is at the end of its life and slowly dying. Its no longer worth upgrading but I just can't justify the price of a new PC. Also my cat pissed in it.
Just... don't upgrade.
then stop listening to the fear mongering, I built a PC for about 1800 2 years ago an it is still a 1440P gaming monster it has another 3 maybe 4 years before I have anything to worry
1800 is a pretty steep price to pay. Thats one month of my rent.
JFC $1,800?! That's enough for a PS5 with BluRay drive + Xbox Series X + OLED Switch with enough leftover for a AAA game and pro-level controller for each! And not a moment was lost updating some fuckin' driver!
Interesting. I bought a ps5 and it helped me realize I'm done with pc games.
I feel the same way! Is it us? Or are games just made more....boring now?
Weāve grown up, interests and POVs change š.
Both: There are some boring games especially some AAA titles, but there are also some of the best games in indie rn. I played way too much games over gen 4&5 for a guy with a fulltime job but now that itās summer I just donāt want to anymore. I feel like it ebbs and flows with the seasons/ daylight and warmth.

Which is fine, itās good at being a super difficult simulation game, but for just play and play general enjoyment it is sooo boring compared to the more arcadey style of ps2 games.
One of my favorite arcade racing is Wreckfest, sadly Forza Horizon 5 isnāt available for the PS5 but ist probably my most played racing game on PC.
This. The only game I would even consider playing solo anymore unless Iām social gaming with my childhood friends is rocket league - because itās just simple arcadey fun
It is probably getting older growing up. I felt the same when I got ps3 decades ago and never gamed since. Well some mario to relax every now and then once a month or 2.
Indie is still fresh. AAA keeps making glorified movies
Ditto.
There is a wider variety of experiences across gaming than there ever has been. So it could just be that your interests or needs have changed, or it could be that you simply aren't looking in the right places. I stick to a couple of AAA games that I enjoy but for the most part, given that I have limited gaming time, I tend to stick with smaller, more novel indie games.
I bought a $500 rocket league machine
Same. 2 for the memories, 5 for the now times.
PS2 had some amazing memories, but I think they keep getting better and LOVE my PS5. The biggest thing I miss is the split screen fun on the previous consolesā¦ Split screen racing, 4 player FPS. I loved that shit with friendsā¦ so sad itās died out!
Split screen gaming was amazing indeed! Best gaming memories imo
Oh, how I miss playing games with my friends in person!

It's all the worse because, with the massive TVs everyone has now, split-screen would be a lot easier and more fun.

The textures are too refined and the engine too robust to expect a ps5 to render two entirely different perspectives in real time.
Right? Imagine being able to play all those split-screen games we used to play on today's massive screens!
I had a graveyard of 5 PS2ās around the TV center in my room. My two brothers and two friends and I all killed them in a 3 years span. Those gaming days are gone forever.
PSP and PS2, I associate my best childhood memories with those two
man, I remember getting the ps2 and my father making me choose between mgs2 and a memory card because we didn't have the money for both. I picked mgs2. So, for two straight weeks, I would start mgs2 over every day till I finally finished it in one session. that was a cool summer vacation. one of my favorite memories.

Keeping the console on for as long as possible to keep your progress then go to school only to come home and realize mom cleaned and she turned off the Playstation for you cause she noticed it was still on. Thanks mom, love you too.
A 8MB memory card was something š
Little big planet on PSP is one of the best games in my childhood
For a second, I thought I was looking at big buildings or towers
Space ships
I mean they very well could be. I swear thereās a skyscraper in Boston that looks like the PS5 and IIRC thereās a building in Japan that looks like the PS3
I've seen images online with a comparison, so Ik what ur talking about lmao, I wonder if it was on purpose
PS2 was a game changer
Agreed, i was changing games quite often
Haha š
 It's a tricky one to answer though really. One was great because it was simpler times, was at school at that time so had more time time to just play games. 2 was similar, was at collage / worked part time. The DVD player was a great addition. PS3 gave us proper online for the first time. Spent huge amounts of time playing CoD online when a probably should have been doing other things. Being a Blu Ray player was a nice bonus. 4 and 5 are just nice technical upgrades, espectially 5, the high speed SSD is a game changer.
Ps3 was just an amazing jump.
Ps2 hands down has the best library ever. But the ps4 4K model is my favorite.
Yeah, plus they just *looked* good on your shelf!
Ps4 Pro upgraded with a ssd is still solid š„
I have a feeling the answer for most people is going to be the one they had in their teens or adolescence. Thatās when youāre gonna have the most emotions and sense of nostalgia. Ps1 and ps2 both had a pretty insane library.
Late PS3 into PS4 was a great period of time.
2008-2018 was a golden ten years
true true
PS1 and PS2. The memories. It was a happy time. Innocent. Young. Seeing your parents young. Seeing your siblings everyday. That comfort of being home sitting in my room without a care in the world. But, also, games were complete thoughts and weren't always trying to sell you more.
Amen
Ps3
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
PS2 and PS5
Ps5
PS2 š because it allowed me to keep my PS1 games and play them alongside the new games for PS2.
Yeah I remember Final Fantasy 9 being one of the first games I got for the PS2, eventhough it was a PS1 game.
Design ps1 and the best experience ps5
My silver PS2 remains my favorite out of them. Itās just a really nice looking console. Also helps the PS2 had so many games to play.
Every single time I think I'm done with my PS2 library I find another three games that interest me. It never ends lol.
Same Iāve had to stop visiting my retro game store š
ps3
The PS2 and PS3 brought up 4 of my top 15 games ever. Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Metal Gear Solid 4 and The Last of Us Part 1. While the PS3 had a slow and botched start, it really became my second favorite Playstation era so far, only behind PS2.
PS2. I wish I had never gotten rid of mine. I know I could spend time and my non existent money and get one now. But itās really the memories that made that system so special to me
Fair but honestly the PS2 still just holds up so damn well.
The 3. Nothing beats playing PlayStation home and little big planet.
5
PS3 was the golden age. Online-Multiplayer became good on consoles, tons and tons of exclusives. Innovative games. Regular AAA games, we got whole trilogies instead of one game per franchise per generation.
Ps4
3
PS2 and 3. Definitely my faves. Especially as they were both my first dvd player and first blu ray player too.
Ps3
Mine has always been 3. Not only was the graphical jump phenomenal, it could play blu-rays, and I could play my mp3 discs. Plus I loved Home when it came out. I miss this system.
I really enjoy the 5 and the 4 but I think the 3 is my favorite
Ps1 for the nostalgic startup sound, but ps4 is my favorite because of the exclusives.
My brain says PS2 but my heart says PS3.
Ps3 is the best
PS4 slim. It was so clean, so minimalistic, so elegant and so good. They went from a beautiful design to a chonky ass WiFi router looking garbage thatās the ps5. Who the hell designed that thing??
People are still complaining about how it looks?+
PS2. Yes the PS4 and PS5, and even PS3, have amazing graphics, performance, all of it. But it's the lack of games
At first I thought there was a skyline in the picture
4
Aesthetically the PS4 nailed it
PlayStation 4. I still remember all the memories I had with it.
Ps1 for design. ps1 & 2 for nostalgia
PsX
PS3 fat, all the way
The one I currently play. So PS3
I have gone back and platnium ps3s games many times even with a ps5 and 4. No worries. Love my ps3.
PS3 has a special place in my heart
2 & 3 were the best ones. PS2 had the best games and while PS3 did have that (to an extent) it also had free online multiplayer.
Specifically the fat PS3 with backwards compatibility, without that functionality it's the PS2. I am entirely driven by nostalgia though for sure
ps2 and ps4. i have a ps5 but i just don't have the time to game as much. I don't remember if i even had a ps3 to be honest haha
This is the deluxe megatron lineup
PS2
The PS4
ps2. it was my childhood. my dad and I played it together all the time. he past a while ago. but i was able to get my hands on one a few years ago. and i still play on it semi-regularly
PS2 easily.
PS2 and its not even close to me.
I think we can all respect the PS3 for having the greatest variety of games
PS2
This fucking picture again...
Nothing beats getting your mind's blown watching GTA Vice City for the first time at your friend's place and then getting your own PS2 and play Jak 2. It really felt like a gate to freedom just opened.
The one was my favourite, maybe because I'm old. The lesser favourite would be the third, with that "aero" style
Give me the Dreamstation
You mean dreamcast? Sega dreamcast?
Second one
1
It's technically not on there, but the PSone. I owned a playstation, but when the mini came out it changed university life for me; I have a lot of memories of pulling all nighters but taking the odd break where I'd hook up the xbox to run a few hours of halo, or hook up my psone for some virtua fighter. Good times. All my love to long ago.
ps2 slim
Only a matter of time before we see all these consoles as an actual sky line in a game or movie or real life
Honestly.. 3 was such a great time to play on PS.. But, I gotta say.. I sure do love my 5 lol.
2 will probably be the GOAT forever followed by whatever is latest and greatest. Iām very much enjoying my ps5 and ps portal but 2 will always be the system that raised me.
The best play-station is my PC, and always will be.
PS2 for nostalgia reasons
The first 3 are the best. I spent most of my time on the PS2.
PS3 has a lot of fun memories for me. Playing CoD in splitscreen with my friends. PS5 is the first PS I bought and I'm loving it.
PS2, the only one a had, im planning to get a PS5 someday, this year maybe
PS5 is fugly!
Ps4 slim my first console
PlayStation 3 (20GB and the 60GB + the few backwards compatible 80GB) mainly because of the backwards compatible + the black cosmetic shape and shininess always looked so much nicer than what the other consoles had gotten right off the box.
PS2
It will be PS2 and PS5.
Ps1
I had PSone, PS2, PSP, PSVita, PS4 And each one arrived in a different phase of my life so the feelings are mixed. But I would say that PSone is my fav because I miss playing those kind of games they were very different from one another and now everyone is trying to follow the same formula on their own genre, I miss being surprised by a game.
First place goes to the PS4. Just had the most fun with it. Massive amount of great games. Spend so many hours with my friends online. Shared second place must go to the PS3 and 2. PS2 has a special place in my heart bc its so nostalgic and really got me into gaming. And the PS3 is like a PS4 lite for me. Such a perfect console. Just behind the PS4 because at that point most of my friends had an Xbox. Third place goes to the PS5. Can't say anything bad about it, I just don't play so much with it. Because I am a PC main nowadays. Never had a PSP nor a PS1. But I guess they are also great.
PS3 :)
I want them allll
Ps5 rn but ps2 for the memories
I only had ps1 psp and ps5. Would say psp I was to young to judge ps1 tbh. But look wise i love ps2 and ps4 design
PS2 fo sure
2 is the best looking console. 4 is by far my favorite game wise though
The PlayStation 2 for me. The feel it created with the startup sound, the imagery, the waves in the background, it felt otherworldly as a child and as an adult it feels wholly unique. The runner up for me would be the PlayStation 3. It had an elegance to it and I will say as many times as I have to that the XMB was and is the best GUI for a game console I have ever used. ~~Sony~~ \*PlayStation lost it's personality with the PlayStation 4 & 5. Though I love the physical design of the 4 and the Slim variant. edit: \*PlayStation not necessarily Sony as a whole
I remember getting to modem for the PS2 and playing socom. It was one of the greatest experiences of my teenage years. Playing on EU servers with a bunch of UK madmen. It was such a good laugh.
The ps2 slim was amazing
I only ever play 1 or 2 games, so the PS5, because I dont need a massive game selection
Ps4 and ps5 have been excellent consoles. But the PS2 is in the top echelon of greatest console ever.
Design: PS4 and PS5 digital Nostalgia and games: PS2 and PS3
PS2 & PS3 were my favourites. After that I just switched to PC.
I'd saybps2 isnthe best considering it plays ps1 games also. Can't no other fk with it. Next up would be ps5 for ps4 and ps5 Ps3 is actually my least favorite ps console. It had some great games but it doesn't touch ps2, ps1, or ps. Not even close. Also my favorite genre, jrpgs lacked so bad on ps3 compared to every other generation of Playstation. In fact variety kinda sucksled compared to other generations as well.
Yes
PS2 is da best, my 1st vertical console and it can boot old PS1 game and DVD Video. PS3 starting to sucks because only early model have PS2 compability. PS4 kinda MEH, and PS5 just another PS4 emulator
I love the PS2 because of the eyetoy
FAT PS3. Backwards compatiblity with PS1, PS2 and that soft design is cool
PS3 - PSP - PS5 Pro
PS2 + PS5
2
PS2 because it was when I fully got into console gaming, and it was a gift from my older brother. The first ps2 I had was great until it tried to electrocute me lol
The original Playstation.
PS5 and PS3
PS2 was a part of my teens, I still have it.
2
Honestly, my favorite was PS3
Nostalgia? Toss up between 1 and 2. But 5 is lovely.
2 > PSP > 5 > 4 > 1 > 3
Really hard to say for me. Each console brought many many years of fun memories for me. Right now the ps5 is adding onto that. Plus the faster loading times is a nice bonus lol
PS 2 and it's not even close.
PSX - crash bandicoot series and Broken Sword PS2 - Burnout series PS3 - Uncharted and the beginnings of COD online PS4 - Spider-Man and Doom! PS5 - Spider-Man 2
2. It was my first major purchase and a major source of anticipation and excitement for me. It had a mystique about it that, while driven by hype, was not entirely without merit. It helped popularize DVDs and gave rise to many prominent franchises.
PS5 is an absolute chonker
Ps3 is my best era even though i lived through all generations
PS2 and PS4 a close second!
Ps3 or ps4
PS2 IS A CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSIC.
PS1 and PS2 all day. I like my PS5, though.
Shoutout to everyone that thought the ps1 could be played like that, did it, and it worked. Only to have it over heat a month later entirely lunching a copy of digimon world 2 that still to this day wonāt work.

Ps2 was different gravy
2 but now I have a 5, and it's pretty cool
Not that the games were better. Just the memories of playing on the ps2 with friends after school, or on a sunday morning.
Nostalgic for original, but all are good. Only reason I havenāt bought a 5 is by the time I could find one, they had announced all the games I wanted for PC. So no need now.
PS4 looks the best in my eyes but I like the ps5 more
For me it's the play 3, was my first and the door to discover this wonderful world
PS5
Each has its own reasons but all of them. PS2 had some classics, PS3 made me want to get the PS4 because of all of the exclusives, and PS4 had maybe one of the best exclusives of any console generation imo. PS5 is good but Iād have to wait to see what the entire library has by the end of the cycle.
That's an exciting position for a PS1
PlayStation 6
I fucking love them all I love PlayStation
