glasfen Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hello, all. A different take on the polls this time: Veteran Gamer Opinion Poll #5 After a long day at work/school/underground lair, you return home to find that your gaming system and all your games are missing. Apparently they were donated by your good-willed aunt, or eaten by your boa constrictor, or... whatever, they're GONE. A kindly philanthropist hears of your plight and offers to buy you a new system. This could be your chance to upgrade or you could get your favorite games back. Which one do you choose? (and why?) a) PC Playstation c) Wii d) Xbox e) Other (in case you miss your Neo-Geo) Vote and be heard! Results soon. PM me if you have questions or ideas.

WillRock Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I would choose e (Gameboy advance) I had plenty of games on my gameboy that I loved - Loz, Pokemon, Double Dragon, Mario etc, and I would personally rather pay the money to get them back than get a new console.

AmazinJason Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Well, I spose I would have to select A, as a PC (usually) has a much higher price than those listed. Price excluded, I would definitely choose to get my good ol 360 back. It's winning over the wii for me currently, because the games for it reign supreme. This is subject to change, however.

Zephyr Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 For strictly games? Xbox 360, I've never had one before and it looks like a great gaming system. For general use definitely computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMetal Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 A) PC. Consoles are dead to me this generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobaltstarfire Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 A.PC, consoles can be replaced far more easily, and I really need my computer to keep up with everything school related. (not to mention most of my entertainment is derived from my computer these days). Otherwise E. My Nintendo DS, it's got the most games I want to play/enjoy playing. Edit: I guess I should add that I don't use my PC to play any games, there aren't any currently installed on it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHands Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 A or E (DS). Either is fine. More games I enjoy on the DS, but if they'll upgrade my PC, then I'm all for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkspast Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I like these poll threads you have been doing, but this one is pretty close to the line of a favorites thread. PS3 which ever letter that is. I dont know why, but I just prefer it over the 360, even though I know it has far less games and support, But I love the DualShock3 and the whole feel of the PS3...

Less Ashamed Of Self Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 A) PC. Then I'd pimp one out for gaming and one out for everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMage Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 A) Without fail, it is the superior platform. And given that this philanthropist is so kindly, I do believe I'd spec up an i7 machine with some sweet sweet SLI'd loving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerrax Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Probably A just because I can emulate everything except current generation consoles on my PC. All my favorite current gen titles are on PC anyways. Plus some extra RAM and a bigger HD couldn't hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike911 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I love my Playstation 3. I really love Flower and I'm looking forward to Killzone 2, and Metal Gear Solid 4 was fantastic.... HOWEVER ... I have to go with my PC. If I didn't have Left 4 Dead with my friends I'd be sad. PLUS I can get more mileage out of a PC than any consoles since I can easily play games (although pretty crappily) for a while after the next generation.

Mia Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Only one new system? I'd choose E) Other - kill myself. My game collection is a part of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasfen Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 I like these poll threads you have been doing, but this one is pretty close to the line of a favorites thread. Thanks! Only one new system? Well, the philanthropist is only so kindly, I guess. Either that or he/she has no idea how great games are scattered throughout various platforms. Interesting to see how many folks are choosing PC for its versatility. For me, I choose SNES. Either that or the Wii (assuming I could get the my SNES library back that way). But that means no Elder Scrolls or Battlefield Heroes or Vandal Hearts... Hmm. Tough decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayc4life Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 PC, if all my games are gone then it's easily the most practical option there as you can do anything on it you want, provided you've got an internet connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizyr Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 E) Sega Saturn All the other systems, I could easily find somewhere and re-purchase (that and I don't have any systems newer than the PS1, not counting my DS). The Saturn is a bit tougher to find. ...although I did just get a Japanese Saturn from Mad-Gear last weekend. But if it weren't for them, then yes, it would be extremely difficult to find.

finalfunk Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I'd have to go with the Wii. I momentarily considered E) Others, with the runners up being N64 & GC, but then realized that Wii can play GC games, and all the best N64 games are available on Virtual Console. hmm... the above makes me sounds like a N fanboy, which isn't strictly the case (certainly have other systems), I think I just have derived the most fun from N systems in the past...

The Coop Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 E: Genesis Sure, I've played them a lot over the years, and God knows the Saturn, Master System, and others have given me a lot of enjoyment over the years, and my Atari XE is a damn close second. But I think it's the Genesis that's given me the most gaming enjoyment over the years in terms of games per genre, and sheer numbers.

SoloGamer Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 PS2, since there's quite a number of games for it that I always wanted to try and/or finish, but never got around to for one reason or another. Also, it has a nice lineup of 2d fighters That Neo Geo from choice E is pretty tempting, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie! Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Assuming my computer along with it's emulators are still with me, I'd probably say N64. Mostly because I don't get time to play video games much anymore, but when I do most of the ones I have been meaning to play are for that system.
