StaceyPowers Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 How did you end up playing the main platform that you do? Did you choose it for a specific, deliberate reason? Was it the hardware? The games? Or did you end up on it by coincidence? I ended up on PlayStation by coincidence, as a neighbor loaned me theirs and then sold it to me--but I'd have picked it anyway just for TLOU.
killamch89 Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 To be fair, I had been playing PC games for years but I was primary console gamer until in 2011, I wanted to mod GTA San Andreas and my PS3 didn't have the capability. So, I just decided to build a PC so I could enjoy it and as they say, the rest is history. I've been a PC gamer ever since.
Justin11 Posted October 14, 2021 Posted October 14, 2021 My gaming career started with PS2, I played Sega console games, played via windows PC owned by my console. At this moment I am more of a console gamer especially on play station series.
The Blackangel Posted October 14, 2021 Posted October 14, 2021 My first system was a Colecovision, but then the NES hit the market, and I desperately wanted one. After that I was hooked by Nintendo. I was loyal to them up through the N64. I hated the Game Cube and Wii both. I never owned a Virtual Boy, and never even bothered to waste my time on a Wii U. But despite branching out to other systems, I'm still mainly a Nintendo fan.
Boblee Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 A friend of mine actually introduced me to Playstation console. It practically arrested my flair with playing God of War. I'm adjusting to PC lately with Skyrim.
Oblivion Knight Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 I went from Sega to PlayStation, to Xbox, and back to PlayStation. I loved the Xbox 360, but the early iterations of the console were nightmarishly unreliable. I must have got struck with RROD on no less than x4 occasions, as well as a faulty DVD drive. Then when my slim console got banned from Xbox LIVE for taking advantage of a marketplace region 'exploit' for a handful of free games, I decided that I'd had enough and decided to move back across to the PlayStation. I haven't looked back since. killamch89 and Withywarlock 2
Head_Hunter Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 It ended up for me coincidentally as well. I never wanted to own it permanently, which started from a PS2 console, after I loaned it from my childhood friend and class mate. I took it permanently after convincing me with my first Android phone in an exchange.
Withywarlock Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 It essentially began with The Elder Scrolls Online. I've always been a console player so playing this particular MMO on PC was - at the time - simply out of the question. I decided on a Sony Playstation 4 because of its greater hardware specs and a few games that interested me. It fell out of my favour as several games were delayed and the controller wasn't doing it for me. Whilst waiting for TESO to get its backside in gear with a release date, I swapped that console for the Microsoft Xbox One, and I found myself satisfied with Titanfall and other games to keep me occupied. Plus I felt guilty owning a PS4 knowing I wouldn't be able to play Sunset Overdrive, which - like all but one game in 2014 - would go on to disappoint me. ESO was further delayed. I traded in the Xbox One upon having played all it had to offer, and put the money toward a poorly put together system that barely out-performed an Xbox 360. The thing is, I already had a massive Steam library and I could play World of Warcraft at a framerate higher than 15 per second. The savings from game sales were passed on, and I could save more money for a better PC a few years later. Mounting disappointment in the console space, an all-purpose machine and an overwhelmingly greater choice of games in one place has made me stick to PC ever since. It's not without its own problems, but I'm long over caring about them. By the time Valve u-turns on its stance on DRM (or publishers force them to) and whatever other cynical views I have come to pass, I'll be long out of the hobby.

Justin11 Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 I love play station series than any other console. But it doesn't mean that, I wouldn't consider others. I love PC too because I can use it for multi purpose tasks apart from gaming.
Heatman Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 Most of my childhood buddies are Playstation fans, so I got influenced into joining the PS band. I actually liked it as well because I have been a PS fan ever since then.
Boblee Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 I'm targeting getting my hands on any Xbox series consoles. I'm yet to play on any of it but it's only a matter of time till I get one, even it means to borrow one.

I am a play station fan i am in love with PS5 but it's simply out of reach for me due to its price tag.
Head_Hunter Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 My friend made me own a video game console in 2010. I hired the game from him, and later exchanged my mobile phone to his PS2 console, that's where the journey started for me.

This is kind of a unique one but I can see why you'd give up your mobile device at the time.
