Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ?

I guess the PS3?

I felt like I begrudgingly bought it, out of spite. Like I HAD to buy it, or I was no longer a modern gamer.

And then it just fell flat for me. I played GTA, and maybe a handfull of other games, but mostly GTA.

I guess the PS4 is actually the same story, except I just never played it. To this day I have a PS4 that I never really used. But I also had no excitement for it.

And I guess the same for PS5. I bought it to play GTA 6, thinking it was coming soon. That was 4 years ago. I’ve watched dvds more than I’ve played games on it.

But with PS3, I actually had excitement brewing. I expected big things. It just never materialized.

I’ve already decided I’m not buying a PS6, and I’m not buying GTA6.

Well that just sounds unfortunate do you play a lot of PC or just don’t game much ?

  I find myself playing more retro stuff.
  
  I bought the Retroid Pocket Flip 2, which is exactly the same everything as a Retroid Pocket 5, with the exception of form factor. With apps like game native, I can play older PC games.
  
  But like…have you ever played Super Mario Bros 2 at 2am, while smoking weed? The game holds up.
  
  I guess I’m not a fan of the greyscale realistic graphics of a dystopian future, and everybody is shooting guns.
  
  Yaaaaaaaaaawn.
  
  But Stardew Valley?
  
  The Survivalists?
  
  Those games are amazing! Colorful graphics. I don’t need realism. I need escapism. I need worlds that make me feel SOMETHING positive in my life.
  
  But ever since PS2, it’s been guns guns guns, rainy grey skies, post apocaliptic worlds. I don’t need that, and it’s been industry standard for 25 years it feels like.
  
  I’m loving my Flip2 though.
