PC hands down.
PC hands down.
Havent played those titles on original xbox tabloid.
Is RTS good on handheld? Ive really only played two that I can remember on PC..
Command and Conquer Red Alert and Age of Empires 2.
Roc you havent invested more time in a console than PC gaming?
Pretty wild man, I was never too invested in PC.
Diablo 1 & 2, Quake, fable and the mentioned RTS games was about it for me.
In fact I've recently thought about purchasing my old systems again versus a PC.
Emulators are nice but nothing beats the real thing. Pure nostalgic bliss.
After reading this list it made me realise that I don't play many games that have an ending...
Not to the story, but to the game. I play games that just keep going, like Forza and Skate, Minecraft and Space Engineers.
Im such a nerd.
I have owned just about every console since the Atari 2600. It would be hard to say which console I played the most, but a fair guess would have NES, PS2, and Xbox 360 as the Top 3. Although, overall I think my time logged into PC games eclipses my console efforts. I had over 10k hours of game time just in World of Warcraft before I quit back in 2012...

I've been a pc player ever since I was 6, started with megaracer 2 and quickly after that age of empires 1/2.. My first console was a nintende 64 where I played Turok, super mario 64 and pokemon stadium.. My first own bought console was a gamecube which I bought just for super smash melee and after that a xbox 360 just for skate. But in between I've always played my games on pc the most, primarily because the games I liked the most weren't playable on consoles, strategy games.
Dreamcast and Gamecube, I think, no idea how many hours I put into those consoles. I was obsessed with Phantasy Star Online for years, from 13 - 16, I played it every day on weekends and after school. I can't imagine how much money my dad put into it because it had a paid subscription when it was put on Gamecube, 15 bucks a month. After I turned 16, my appeal for skateboarding took over everything and then Playstation 2 became my main focus. Tony Hawk's Underground 2 probably stole a good 500 hours from me from playing online and such, maybe more, I'm just guessing. Nothing has come close since, but with all of life's interruptions, how could they?

Great stuff guys, I really do enjoy hearing about the past systems.
Really missing them lately. Everyone had a bit of a different experience but console gamers seem to have Atleast tried systems were all familiar with which is cool.
Haha, oh man, counterstrike..
Had a few months with that forgot about that series. I had a short run in, bought them all in quick succession.
Even bought and played half life 2 then went back to see the first one through.
I really wanted the orange box on 360 but even when the price changes that bitch is like 20$ to this day. I've been picking up cheap ass games lately.
I would say counterstrike 1.6 was my favorite at the time, then condition zero and source was ok but really only played condition zero when I found a cal-I clan and played source with friends. Really served no purpose when they all stopped playing it.
Age of empires was addictive back in the day! I don't know if I would be as into RTS these days. Might be worth a shot at some point though.
Original super smash? Man, we used to play that bunched up on the couch. Lose and pass the controller.
A lot of the franchises are still going Huh?
Well, I looked at my console history like this to figure which one I was on longest, how long were their lifespans you know?
When were they discontinued, and when do you suppose you started using them first?
I believe the PS2's lifespan was about 10 years roughly, could be wrong on that but I'm rolling with it.
Oh man, yeah, I loved all the tony hawk entries at the time of their releases. Probably obvious at this point in my posting. I didn't waste too much time on them but throughly enjoyed those games.
I didn't know anything about the online side of console gaming until the old systems were less popular sadly. Wasn't the connectivity worse then though? Wonder if I really missed out haha.
The first time I experienced online gaming was with the original Xbox. It had already been out a while and my friends were die hard into halo 2.
It was so crazy though, they had some kind of hook up where they would go on this website click a link and join a lobby on the Xbox. It blew my mind.

Double post Versus a new thread, Sounds good?
Playstation Network, Xbox Live Arcade.
What do you guys think about digital exclusives?
I mean, we didn't have the option back in the day to download games.
Now some of them are only released online.
Do you think it's a reason last gen is still going?
Kind of hard to say what the revenue is, Seems like it would be decent.
People could stop buying them though, always a possibility.
Chivalry
Trials HD, Evolution and Fusion
Counter-Strike Global Offensive
God Mode
All being titles on the XBL Arcade I can see myself wanting to play again.
To my own surprise most of my digital purchases have been games with online replay value.
While my physical disc collection tends to have a good single player aspect.
