I don't understand the love for this console. I had both a PS1 and N64 back in the day (in fact, I even bought a PS1 first), but I cannot fathom why anyone actually believes this to be the better console. I didn't even pick up a Saturn until about 7 years ago and I will gladly admit it is a better system. Every single game on this piece of shit is a sad imitation of a better one. The only "good" games on this turd are JRPGs or inferior ports of arcade games. Before you delude yourself into believing I haven't played any of the "good" games, let me assure you -- I have. FF7, FF8, FF9, RE series, Crash series, Medievil, FFT, MGS, even more obscure shit like Alundra and Tomba, even fucking Darkstone. The fact is, the games are low quality. The best games on the system are the JRPGs, which are tired, derivative, and hadn't evolved since the SNES era. Nobody except a supremely autistic individual would claim that walking around running into random enemy encounters is actually fun game design, and yet it remains the most interesting thing that this console has to offer. Oh yeah, and the shitty soap opera dramas that come with it. It might have been cool on the NES, but it wasn't by 1995, and certainly not now.

Obviously, the hypertards on this board will come up with a variety of derivative insults to avoid reality: "shit taste", "no, wrong", etc. But I doubt a single person will actually provide a coherent argument. In fact, the only argument that PS1 purists seem to come up with is based around sales numbers or total number of games, as if to imply that box wine is somehow better than a fine $120 bottle of pinot noir simply because it sells more.

The N64 and Saturn offered much more enriching experiences of a higher caliber, meanwhile the PS1 stews in the mediocrity of "quality over quantity". I have yet to find a single PS1 game which matches the level of Rare-developed titles like Banjo-Kazooie. The system is shit and doesn't deserve half of the praise it gets.

The sad thing is, the average PS1 fan actually believes that everything other than RPGs on the PS1 is actually better than the competition. For example, if you bring up platformers, they will default to Spyro and Crash Bandicoot (both shitty games) and then talk shit on the likes of SM64 and Banjo for being "collectathons", as if they are too mentally simple to understand the concept of anything other than walking in a straight line and breaking crates with colorful faces on them.

I find being a fanboy hard, like almost incapable of imagining it hard.
I like selections of games on every console and like them each to pretty much the same degree, as long as they deliver me entertainment.
The whole "nostalgia / I grew up with this so this is the best / fanboy" _meme_ is really stupid.

Seeing threads about flamewar just looks plain ironic and lame.

It would be easy for me to just call you a retard and move on, but frankly I feel really bad for you. Sincerely. You've actually deluded yourself into believing that this is what composes the N64 library, going so far as to quote the "shooters and collectathons" meme verbatim. If you actually removed your head from the warm embrace of your sphincter, you'd realize that the N64 has some fucking great games of every genre. Oh well, your loss faggot child.

Maybe you should give it a try. All you've done is argue over the semantics of what defines a "AAA game" and call me retarded. I'm deeply sorry that you grew up thinking autistic JRPGs and Crash Bandicoot are good games, but you are wrong, sorry brah.

Anon, let's examine your thought process here. You claim that I've somehow ruined my chances of continuing a bait thread based off of my replies, yet you continue to reply and are now openly admitting to "giving me the attention I seek". So really, your only options at this point are to either A) back down and stop posting, which you won't do because you are upset, or B) continue to post and give me the attention that I, apparently, seek.

This is why you aren't particularly bright. I look forward to your next brilliant reply.
