SONIC THE HEDGEHOG: THE MOVIE - Poster

[Darth Knox]

What? PS3 as your first? Noob! 

Parents wouldn't allow us to have one. Then I was at university when first playstation came out, but was having more fun drinking and meeting girls to play games a lot. So have developed into more of a casual gamer than anything. But I shall endeavour to change my ways and fully embrace the ways of the console.

As the first console I ever owned was a PS3 I never played any Sonic games beyond the first one. Which sucked as they looked amazing and fun. Never realised there were different kinds of shields (sounds a bit Mario Kart to me. In a good way).

They're available for the PS3:

In fact, most of the Sonic games have been ported to pretty much every platform. Once the Dreamcast went belly up and they stopped making consoles, they started porting Sonic and their other properties to lots of different devices. I even watched a video the other day where they've released a collection of their games for smart TVs and Fire Stick, etc. No console needed.

This always intrigues me when I here it.  Not being able to afford one is something I can understand, but just out right not allowing it is another thing.

In that case, that is acceptable my friend.  Embrace the ways of the console, search your feelings!!!

I no longer play on my PS3.......because I have my PS4 

The only PS3 game I still own are the Mass Effect trilogy (best game trilogy in history).

But I've played and loved many a PS3 game. Slowly working my way through the PS4 titles.

Bringing this back to the original post, I did briefly own Sonic on the PS3, and as a piece of nostalgia it was fine. Still prefer Super Mario Land on my gameboy (which I still have).

I guess I was always more a Mario fan (which gives me a great idea for a thread in the video game section)

I have them on the 360, but yes, that statement is a fact.

How about Mordin Solus?

"My knowledge is prodigious though I'm stuffy and professor-y
I'm fluent in the vorcha tongue and hanar luminescer-y
My xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian
I am the very model of a scientist Salarian!"

Kudos to you my good man

The Switch is pretty cool, you can dock it to play on a larger screen or undock it when traveling.  Our son loves it and it's pretty diversified in regards to games.  Don't expect high end graphics or anything like that but Nintendo prides themselves with being different and designing consoles and games for the entire family.

You don't understand. I haven't had a draw to a system since the PS3. And the only two games I have my eyes on are 16-bit side-scrollers. (They also have a SEGA arcade with numerous Genesis titles that I WANT)

The PS3 was my first Current Console, meaning I got it while it was still the console of the day.  Growing up I got the consoles when the new ones came out and the old one went down in price.  In order I played on the Intelevison, NES, Super NES, PlayStation, Xbox, PS3 and that was my last console ( I still have it and it still works)

Growing up, I wanted an NES. On my 11th Christmas I got a Genesis. It came with Altered Beast. Then dad got Super Monaco GP. Then I saw. I don't remember how or where, but I saw a poster with various titles advertised on the back, and Sonic on the front. I saved all my birthday money the following April and immediately ran out and dropped $49.99 on a brand spankin' new cartridge. It was glorious. I'd never seen a side-scroller progress that fast. I eventually owned the 4 main titles plus Spinball. I rented 3D-Blast, and was able to beat it, but I didn't like the way it handled. It just wasn't 'Sonic'.

Did you ever play Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast?

Same thing as 3D-Blast. It was too complex. Very Japanese (in my book are renowned for liking ridiculously difficult games). Too much level grading, which I swore I would never get into.

Ok, screw the Switch. I need THIS.

I've never understood this logic. (I still play Atari games) But then, that same logic has netted me some stuff that my sister no longer wanted, like a Sega Nomad back when the Playstation came out. That Nomad is where I first played Sonic.

Agreed. I still get on my PS2. In fact, I'm in the middle of a Wipeout Fusion binge.

I'm a casual gamer, remember. Not a hardcore gamer/game collector. Therefore you need to judge me by a different standard!

Fair enough. I’m a hardcore gamer, but a competitive one so I buy and own games and systems differently than most

Oh, I was never judging you. I was just saying that's a different way of thinking to me. But, to each their own. You've gotta go with what works for you.
