I'm going to love this gaming community. I was a big gamer years ago. I'd have to say earthbound(mother) was one of the first rpg games that captivated me. I had enjoyed previous titles, but not like that. Not for the time period. Super mario is and always will be the shit too! That's why it hasn't died. It just has that re-play-ability with that arcade style that never goes out of style. Kinda like pac-man and ms.pac-man. I could get down with those to this day! Galaga as well! Zelda is another strong one for me, that one was really fun to play through, even a few times over. Castlevania is another that did well, imo, through the years. My favorite was probably symphony of the night for PS1, for ps2 I wasn't lucky enough to try playing curse of darkness, but lament of innocence was pretty fun too. :)

For PS2 and really all of PS (Haven't tried the most recently released versions.) Metal Gear has been amazing. I loved the tactical aspect. The puzzles, the characters. Loved it. Looking back though, that could be why I'm so fucked up lol. Psycho mantis was a truly messed up character and so were so many others. The plot was great to me! The graphics were pretty good(for the time) too. Metal gear 3 was pretty cool, the graphics were definitely a million times better. lol. I liked the way they progressed the series and added new ways to go about things. The weapons were always fun to use as well. I feel they gave a great amount of variety throughout the series.

GTA san andreas was amazing, ofc. Whole series has been. Can't match that style of gaming very easily, many have tried. lol. Final Fantasy X was great, again, another series that I've always loved.

Shit like resident evil scared the hell out of me.

All in all. I'd say that although I grew up loving snes, as playstation began advancing further, I'd have to say due to the graphics alone, in a direct comparison, PS2 is a win for me, by far. Based on depth of games and re-play-ability, snes actually ties it for me with PS2. They are both great in their own respects. Nintendo as a whole has progressed well, so I enjoy a lot of the titles that come out from them nowadays as well. Going back to Zelda; Playing breath of the wild was incredible. Seeing how far that franchise had come and how great they did with their open world concept was astonishing. The gameplay didn't feel completely foreign from those of the past either. It retained it's "Zelda" feel.

Sorry, may have rambled. I love posts like this though. Gaming is something I don't have a hard time discussing. ;)
