Hey this might be fun. I think I'll chime in with a few too. Though I won't go through the full list of what I own. Just a few that stand out off the top of my head. Some will be paired though. Nintendo Entertainment System The zero-force insertion cradle. Hands down. Sega Genesis That 3 button controller. An absolute pain to use for fighting games and developers that decided to troll you're child self. Action games where the jump button was A and the action button was C, or vice versa. Nintendo 64 I have this nifty thing called memory card and you're going to need it save all those games you're going to be playing. You bought it, cool. What do you mean all of the games save to the cart? Memory card, I have a memory card? I swear my young teen self was convinced that I absolutely needed that thing to save these games. .....Lessons leaned. Sega Dreamcast Yeah, it's midnight. It's also a school night and you want to just get a bit further in that game. T.V. volume at the barest minimum so you can still hear it without your parents noticing. Say, how are those VMU batteries? You realize that just as you press the power button. You freeze as that shrill warning rings out, did they hear? Of course they did, the neighbors heard it, and now you're grounded. Boy were those things hard on batteries. I swear a roll of Smarties in the hand of a toddler lasted longer than those two 2032s, and that alarm annoys me to this day. Original Gameboy Advance You wanted to what? To see what you were playing. All you have to do is stand or sit awkwardly to get optimal viewing angle, full illumination, and little glare. You can only have two of the three. Nintendo Wii Wiggle sticks and shovel ware. It's still a good console and enjoy it. Stellar games too, after you wade waist deep through garbage to find those gems. Playstation Those dedicated low storage memory cards. As I was growing up I pretty much spent more than what I did for the base unit, on those little wallet vampires. Playstation 3/Xbox 360 Well if the launch units weren't melting down. This generation ushered in two of my biggest peevs. The unfinished game(Day 1 patch, baby) and micro-transactions. Playstation 4/Xbox One They understand that some of us are still attached to physical media, too bad it's set up in a way that after those servers finally shut down. You had better hope you weren't intending to buy "retro" PS4 and One games. |

Gonna try to add some for myself so that I'm not just repeating things others are saying lol The Majority of Handhelds Past Like the Gameboy Color You are not comfortable to hold, the only one I was able to enjoy after the Game Boy Color, was the Advance, because I found a rubber grip that basically turned it into a controller. Otherwise every handheld I tried to play were never comfortable to play for that long and I don't even have that large of hands...large sure, but I could never get into handheld gaming very much because of it. The Gameboy and GBC get a pass because they were chunky in designs so it's a nicer grip. Sorta the same for Game Gear, but I never played one that much. I dabbled in most handhelds after the Advance, I just never stuck with them, because I found outside of short uses, I just didn't like them compared to having a controller and a TV. Nintendo Wii I think the Wiimote is almost the worst controller Nintendo has ever made, because if it's not the most gimmicky of uses, like Wii Sports, or something else along those lines that the game wouldn't exist if you couldn't waggle or aim, I think it made games worse to play, especially if you were forced to use the wiimote sideways in a "classic controller" sense. It's just not the worst because the N64 is an overall worst design. Nintendo Switch You will notice a pattern for me here lol I think the Joycons also suck, because they are basically detachable handheld controls, which are never designed as good as a proper controller, but at the very least, they are better designed than the Wiimote as they can be made more useful by fitting them into the controller attachment, but I still try to use them as little as possible. Thank god for the regular pro controller. I actually have other complaints about the Switch, but this is not meant to be a very serious topic, so I'll hold back on that lol Playstation 4 Pro This isn't a game console, it's a jet engine, because when those fans got going, this sucker made noise. I also had an issue with it, where the case would vibrate and make a noise, but if I pushed down on the case in like the back corner, I could make it stop, it was super annoying because it would just randomly pop up. |

- What I don't like about the Atari 2600? Most of the games feel like the same thing, and if not, it's hard to figure out how to play them. - What I don't like about the NES? The pin connectors. Every time you wanna play a game it's a fight. - What I don't like the Sega Master System? It's too obscure, you can't find games for it very easily in North America. - What I don't like about the Sega Genesis? Standard controller was only 3 buttons and a start, no triggers, nothing. Games needed more control options by that time. - What I don't like about the SNES? The sound ship makes every game's soundtrack have a trumpet effect, which gets old. - What I don't like about the GameBoy? You can't see the screen, and if you can, it looks like shit. - What I don't like about the Game Gear? Crappy internal capacitors which fail and kill the screen and sound over time. - What I don't like about the Atari Jaguar? The fact that Atari dropped the ball so hard on it, when it had the potential to be more successful. - What I don't like about the Sega Saturn? The fact that SEGA dropped the ball so hard on it, and even failed to release a flagship Sonic title on it. - What I don't like about the PSX? Warping textures, and long boot-up screen. - What I don't like about the N64? Awkward controller with poor quality joystick. - What I don't like about the Sega Dreamcast? This is a tough one. The small library of games, but again it was mostly SEGA's fault and not the console itself this happened. - What I don't like about the Gameboy Color? You can't see the screen, and if you, can it looks like ass. - What I don't like about the PS2? Graphics are often lackluster on a lot of games. - What I don't like about the Xbox? Huge controller. What I don't like about the GCN? Akward controller and underwhelming library. What I don't like about the GBA? Screen is dull and too small. What I don't like about the PSP? Library is too similar to the PS2. What I don't like about the Xbox 360? Reliability issues. What I don't like about the PS3? Lackluster exclusives. What I don't like about the Wii? Lackluster graphics for it's time, not even a full HD console. What I don't like about the PS4? GUI is clunky and unappealing. What I don't like about the Xbox One? Lackluster exclusives. What I don't like about the Switch? Isn't powerful enough to get or run AAA titles. |

PS3 had lackluster exclusives? It's the one console with the most exclusives that were system sellers on their own almost.... The Last of Us, Gran Turismo 5, Uncharted series, Dark Souls, God of War 3... |

Resistance Killzone, Infamous, Little Big Planet, Socom, Twisted Metal, Motorstorm, Warhawk/Starhawk, Folklore, Heavenly Sword. Dark Souls however, is not an exclusive. I think you mean Demon Souls. Hell, I love my 360 and have always been happy with it, but Uncharted 3 sold me on getting a PS3...and I love their exclusives. |
