What I don't like about some consoles. [Not serious topic]

(1/5) > >>

mrkonasoni: |Start》| For some reason for spend the ending of this year I wanted to briefly write down some stuff I don't like from some consoles, it's not a subject for take it seriously or that I hate the consoles or ruin them for me, it's just an idea I had for burn some time, if you feel is a pessimistic idea I am sorry and I hope it doesn't brother you about your favorite console. Well, let's move it. - What I don't like about the Atari 2600? Nothing seriously, but I can't stop thinking is amusing how loud some game effects were for a lot of games, some Activision games or other ones had some truly jump-scare explosions. - What I don't like about the NES? Nothing seriously, but I think one of the decisions for the console didn't aged well, for example a classic NES console will make the screen constantly and annoying blink if it doesn't recognize the cartridge, I remember that a dude I met taught me that inside the console is a part that if you cut from the board it won't make that blink never again, and it actually worked, I don't think is that seriously, I assume Nintendo didn't expect that from happening. - What I don't like about the Famicom? Nothing seriously, but I don't like that the second controller is stuck with the console, I also remember reading that if you buy an original system and play with it with overseas energy system there is a chance the different electricity from the countries will burn the console, I certainly assume is not that serious and it's just an advice, but again I assume Nintendo didn't expect that someone in 2020 from overseas would buy a Famicom from ebay with the sole purpose of playing a game from the 80s. - What I don't like the Sega Master System? I am not sure about this but I heard the console don't have proper channels for music, if not that all the music were made using the wave channel, if you have some knowledge about how music is made and the consoles worked it's possible you will quickly understand what it's happening here, anyway I am not sure about it is just other of those things I read from someone else, it's not that serious but it certainly make a good job explaining why the ost of Master System games were so different when comparing with other 8-bits consoles. - What I don't like about the Sega Genesis? This will sound hilarious but what I don't like is how the console is connected to the tv, at least the one I had needed to unplug the tv paid channels cord and then put the adaptor of the console just to plug the cord again with the adaptor, of course I assume other Sega Genesis models didn't needed that thing and had more simple AV cords, it's just that I had bad luck buying mine. - What I don't like about the SNES? To be honest, only that the plastic from the console can get that weird yellow color if not shelved properly, it's one of those things that will happen eventually so it's okay. But I will admit that open and wash the shell is something that I am not open to do. - What I don't like about the GameBoy? Nothing, I could complain about it using 4 batteries but... let's be clear, it's obviously that with modern batteries the console could get powered up for weeks and if you have rechargeable batteries this is just not a problem at all. - What I don't like about the Game Gear? Nothing, I also assume modern batteries will resolve the power problem. - What I don't like about the Atari Linx? Nothing, I could mention the screen but I have never played it using real hardware. - What I don't like the 3DO? Nothing, maybe that they lied about the console real power. - What I don't like about the Atari Jaguar? That the hardware was so difficult to develop that even nowadays it is still pretty difficult to emulate the console properly and maybe that all those buttons on the controller are kinda useless. - What I don't like about the Sega Saturn? That someone at Sega thought it was a good idea release it with no games in USA just because the possible advantage over PSX, I guess that's something just in the 90s could be taken as interesting, imagine releasing the PS5 with no games, maybe since that clear moment the console was already doomed in NA, I could also mention the lot of horsepower the console need for emulation on modern hardware. - What I don't like about the PSX? Well, pretty much just the region lock and the memory card support, I certainly dislike that once card can just save like 12 games or even less, that's not a problem until you start playing a lot of games from the massive catalogue of the console, though. - What I don't like about the N64? I truly like the N64, what I don't like is that some games needed a pak for save data, I assume it was for cost and memory options but it feels a bit upsettling that I must get both cartridge and and own "memory card" for save the progress from a cartridge game, and maybe that open the console and repair it, it's a hell, way too many screws. - What I don't like about the Sega Dreamcast? Nothing. The Sega Dreamcast was perfect. - What I don't like about the Gameboy Color? The only thing I don't like is that the console died way too soon, it had like 2 years and then the GBA was released, I thought the console had more future that it lasted, and deserved more good games. - What I don't like about the PS2? Nothing, the PS2 is also perfect. Well, maybe the lots and lots of shovelware and that again most of the memory cards works better if it's an 8MB one, some unofficial cards have more space but they don't work with some games. - ¹What I don't like about the Xbox? Nothing, maybe just that open to console and fix it it's also hellish. What I don't like about the GCN? Maybe just that the mini disc only had like 1.5GB of space, I am kinda confident this was one of the reasons some games never reached the console, but who knows. What I don't like about the GBA? The only thing I don't like about the console is the shovelware, maybe 3D shovelware can be sort of amusing, but shovelware for the GBA is other level of bad, some games are legit unplayable, ugly looking garbage that make not justice to the console. What I don't like about the PSP? Maybe that is kinda easy destroy the home bar and make that your console will get the select, start or volume buttons, destroyed and useless, it is pretty annoying and repair the console is once again one of those things that it's not easy at all. - That's just some opinions I had, like I said is not that seriously and I am pretty easy to forget those things while playing the games. And you? What you don't like about your favorite consoles.

oldgamerz: I may have never personally owned a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One but I don't like, What (I heard) that you need to download the game off an online server AND how much hardrive space one game can take up. other then the 8th generation and beyond I don't have much to be negative about, as long as the console works I like it, if it don't then I'll try to get it fixed, since I know a small business that I hope is still functioning that fixes everything. But I have to say Nintendo Switch you don't need a massive download for a game since I think the Nintedo Switch has full games on SD cards

leonefamily: I like the not serious tag. Therefore: - What I don't like about the PlayStation? Most games were shit. This was before the golden era of racing games, back when these weren't even fun. But Driver 2 is by far the best game on the system. Unless you're a Final Fantasy fan, but I'm absolutely not. - What I don't like about the Nintendo 64? People who complain about the controller. Oh wait, they might be right actually. That excuse of a joystick.. - What I don't like about the PlayStation 2? Nothing, it's absolutely perfect and flawless in every way. Just kidding, memory cards. - What I don't like about the Xbox? Of all the things that can fail on a console, you have your usual suspects: disc lens, power supply, motherboard, bios corruptions, HDDs. But the Xbox chose to be original in the way it fails. Drive belts. Umm kay. - What I don't like about the GameCube? Sweaty smelly Smash players. - What I don't like about the PSP? Me: Okay let's play a quick game in the quiet library.. PSP UMD drive: SCRREEEEEECRCRCRCREEERCXRCDRC RCREERC RCEEERCCREEEEERRREERRRR - What I don't like about the DS? It's gay. - What I don't like about the PlayStation 3? Come on, the PS2 was perfect. In 2006 I didn't even know there was such a thing as the PS3. Took me years before I would hear about it. Okay I was only 7 years old at the time but still, we could have got it in 2009 and nobody would have noticed. - What I don't like about the Xbox 360? Me with my grandpa in Walmart circa 2011: Hey I want to buy a PS3 Teenage Walmart employee / Xbox fanboy: Turns to my grandpa Bruh the PS3 is shit, you need to buy your grandson a 360 Me: WTF - What I don't like about the Wii? It was too successful. People still come up to me at work and ask me if we sell Wii games. Please stop. Get help. - What I don't like about the Vita? ANIME - What I don't like about the Wii U? Roses are blue, violets are red. This is not a controller, it's something to smash your head. Joysticks go over buttons, now we think we're being clever. Our true passion at Nintendo is to f* with the player. - What I don't like about the PlayStation 4? Me: Casually playing GTA V online and speaking French. Dumb american kid: OMG STOP SPEAKING SPAAANISHHHHHHH - What I don't like about the Xbox One? Hey Google, purchase a Xbox 1. No I mean an Xbox. No the first one. NOOO NOT AN XBOX ONE, THE FIRST ONE. NOOO NOT A FAT MODEL ONE, THE ONE BEFORE THE XBOX 360. NO THE ORIGINAL XBOX. FFS GOOGLE - What I don't like about the Switch? 400 canadian dollars for a Wii U knockoff. Oops I meant successor. - What I don't like about the PlayStation 5? It's actually a conspiracy created by the government to get people to spend their money and keep the economy growing during Covid. You  see, the console doesn't actually exist. Have you ever wondered why so many people try to buy it, yet you've never seen one in real life? That's right, it doesn't exist. It's a conspiracy. Also, your dog is a vegan SJW family-court hetai lover commie scottish lord. Thank me later for the red pill. - What I don't like about the Xbox Series? OMG the world is going mad, people go crazy over these consoles but there are so many more serious issues in this world than fighting over a box of plastic and metal. Me: Yeah those poor african kids could eat it, it's high in iron.

While the video showcases a Dreamcast, it also works for the SNES. In fact, here's one specifically showcasing an SNES.

You still need those dedicated PlayStation 1 128 kilobyte memory cards, and sometimes you can only fit one game on an entire PS1 memory card, for example some of the sports games on PlayStation 1 need an entire memory card for one season or tournament. plus more space for options and gaming setup Anyone that wants to play a PS1 game should take advantage of playing the game on a PlayStation 3 because on the PlayStation 3 you can create memory card quotas for your PlayStation 3 harddrive, and save all your PlayStation 1 progress on any of the PlayStation 3 models internal harddrive. and I highly recommend a wired PlayStation 3 controller for playing PS3 games on because those wireless ones wear out pretty quickly and then won't work at all., "search wired PS3 controller in the forum to find my link to a wired PS3 controller I use they should all work works for a long time if you take good care of it" TURN VIBRATE OFF ON ALL GAMES WHEN USING AN OFF BRAND CONTROLLER OF ANY CONSOLE TO PREVENT FREZZING AND CONTROLER MALFUCTIONS --- Quote from: mrkonasoni on December 26, 2020, 03:21:42 pm ---- What I don't like about the N64?

I  recommend these memory cards for any Nintendo 64 player or enthusiast or collector Performance Memory Card for Nintendo 64 https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Memory-Card-Nintendo-64/dp/B00HTARO4O that is a link to a 4 memory card in one game pak I have many of these and they don't let me down. --- Quote from: leonefamily on December 26, 2020, 08:31:00 pm --- - What I don't like about the PlayStation 3?

I didn't even see one with my own eyes untill the year 2015 in my opinion the PlayStation 3 was a great machine, I've had 2 Super Slims and one regular slim model I prefer the PS3 slim, because it's harder to break without taking it apart. other than that it's a vary reliable Blu-ray and PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 1 gaming device. best of all you can buy them still in pretty good shape, and sometimes with little usages.
