Hey folks, r/gamecollecting is/was one of my favorite subs, so I would love to see a community for it here! Let’s start building this space with an easy question for discussion: what’s your favorite console to collect for?
Personally, I really enjoy collecting for Xbox 360. Games are inexpensive and easy to find, there are lots of good exclusives, non-exclusives tend to be similar or better for the 360, and the controller design is simply excellent. My favorite game so far is Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. It has some issues, but it’s generally a fun and engaging game.
Which console do you prefer collecting for and why?
I’m a sucker for handhelds, so I’d say DS or 3DS, although my wallet won’t agree.
I love my “new” 2DS XL. I’ve got big hands so most handhelds are uncomfortable, but this one feels pretty good.
Yeah, so I have heard unfortunately I have never actually hold one.
Going to bump this thread since this community is a little inactive and I also loved the old game collecting subreddit.
I really enjoy the Xbox and Xbox 360 systems. Similar to OP, games aren’t as expensive and that was the high point of my gaming days. Was able to get the Silent Hill games CIB for a very good price, whereas they go for 4-5x as much of PS2.
I’ve been meaning to make another post but life has been a bit hectic lately! How are the Silent Hill games? I never really got into the horror genre, but I understand those are some of the higher quality titles, right?
They’re some of THE classic horror games and well worth trying. I will say the graphics and story hold up pretty well but compared to today’s games the gameplay is much slower and definitely an adjustment if you’re going to go back and play them.
