Stadia was like the promise of a game-streaming future, but it feels like it was stuck in beta. The convenience of cloud gaming is there, but it's still a bit hit-or-miss, especially if your internet connection isn't stellar. Plus, there's that nagging feeling that you're renting games rather than owning them. It's a glimpse into what could be, but it's not quite there yet.
The controller, with its numeric keypad, felt like you were punching in secret codes just to play. Had some absolutely wackadoodle titles. It had potential, but it became more of a collector's item than a gaming legend.
My Fable machine! The OG xbox was a great console. Slightly clumsy OS but amazing games. Came with one free murder weapon included. Some bundles included two.
Stood up to a lot of abuse, physically and metaphorically, but this was an amazing console with some powerhouse titles. It was *the* mobile console to take on vacations and friends' houses to use on the big screen.
Trying to find your Nintendo DS stylus feels like you need a summoning circle, an incantation, and a pact to sell your soul, only to discover it was right in front of you the whole time. Minus 1 star for soul stealing.
The Xbox 360 introduced a new era of gaming with its robust online multiplayer and a library of iconic titles, but its notorious "Red Ring of Death" could turn your gaming dreams into a nightmare. Despite the flaws, it's one for the books.
This baby was built to last. Its Blu-ray capabilities were a game-changer, and titles like "The Last of Us" showcased its true potential. However, its early price tag could send a family into financial ruin. It was a console that evolved into a legend over the years.
Its glasses-free 3D display wowed players, and its library was a treasure trove of classics. However, the 3D effect could be a bit finicky, and the it wasn't the most durable. Nevertheless, it's a beloved piece of gaming history that provided endless adventures in the palm of your hand.
I've got the Halo edition. Some people use their PS4's as netflix machines. This is my Halo machine. A pretty brick sitting in my entertainment center. Have only ever played Halo on it, which it did really well. Tried playing Control on here and the load times were abysmal. Quickly switched to PC.
My bb. The star of the show. The PS4 is like an old friend who's been with you through countless gaming adventures. It might not have the shiny new graphics of the PS5, but it's got a massive library of classics that can keep you entertained for years. Just be prepared for the occasional jet-engine-level fan noise during those intense gaming sessions and a little troubleshooting. It's a workhorse that's earned its place in gaming history.
The Xbox Series X is like having a gaming monolith in your living room. You might need a forklift to move it around. Don't mind me, just drinking that haterade.
The Oculus Quest is like a portal to another dimension, with VR experiences that can transport you anywhere. It's wireless freedom at its finest, but the battery life can sometimes feel like a cruel joke when you're in the middle of a game. Minus one star for the Zuck.
The Nintendo Switch is a gaming chameleon. It's like having a console in your living room, a handheld on the go, and a party machine for your friends all in one. But the Joy-Cons sometimes feel like they have a mind of their own, and they're the clunkiest part of the console. Still, it's the only console where you can save Hyrule one minute and the next, owe a racoon a mortgage.
I really like the steam deck, but it is a very frustrating experience without peripherals. It's like trying to operate a PC using only a touchscreen. Once you've made the investment, you need to get the full kit and caboodle to really the maximum usage out of the steam deck, as a streamer. As a gamer, it's a lot easier to pick up and go using the native steam interface. Still, a lot of buttons to learn.
It's like carrying a pocket-sized arcade wherever you go. Sure, the graphics might not be PS5-level, the battery's melting, ads, etc but you can play while you poop – it's a gaming for the modern, on the go multitasker.
The original PSVR? It's like Sony slapped a TV on your face and said, "Have at it!" It's a lil awkward what with all the cables, how it's connected, and using the move controllers. Minus 1 star for the move controllers lol. Those things expensive and buggy.
PC gaming is like a swiss army knife of consoles - it's got everything and then some. You can tweak it, boost it, take it, and, well, maybe even name it if you want. You can game on a budget; you can game without a budget. It's the people's console lol
