What is your favourite game, gaming console and why?
Having invested thousands of hours in gaming and trying out different games till now, I would say my all time favorite game would be “Prince of Persia: Warrior Within”.image source; pop warrior within - Google Search:[SPOILERS]So PoP WW is a sequel to PoP Sands of Time set after the seven years from the events in PoP SoT, where the “Prince” is desperately trying to save himself from “Dahaka”. Since, the Prince escaped his fate, it is Dahaka’s mission, as the guardian of the Timeline to make sure that he dies as he was meant to.Follow the Prince’s exciting journey to The Island of Time to change his fate, defeat strong foes who will try and stop you from advancing forward.If you have not played this game yet, please make sure you play it someday, it’s one of those wonderful jewels from Ubisoft and I wish they would produce more quality games like that.Some other honorable mentions;Prince of Persia: Two Thrones and Prince of Persia: Sands of TimeAssassin’s Creed I, II, III and Revelations, the others in the series were “good” but not as good as the previous one and those will always have a special place deep somewhere in my mind even when I’m 60 years old.Tomb Raider(2013), I have played some of the previous ones as well but story and gameplay wise I would say Tomb Raider(2013) and it’s sequel is better(I’m yet to play the sequel).Settlers: Heritage of Kings and Settlers: Paths to kingdom, I have enjoyed each and every moment building and conqueiring or completing certain quests. 10/10 would love to play it again. Anyone from Ubisoft, if you are reading this please make your games great again!!Project IGI, in case you have not played or seen these game yet, here attaching a photo right now, please do play it if you can get your hands on it.The first one is from Project IGI while the second one is from Project IGI 2, 10/10 fun to play even though the graphics are not stunningAnd now coming to my favorite console, well I have never had any console other than the NES and the Playstation so I can’t really give you a clear unbiased opinion on that but for now I’m into the PC master-race already, so yeah, PC is the best if you have the time and money to invest in buidling your customised rig or you could always go ahead and buy yourself a gaming pc/console of your choice.Happy Gaming.
What is the best gaming device?
Can't I just choose them all?Oh, okay fine! Once upon a time I loved my Atari 2600. I loved it so much I traded it up for an NES, then they added Super in front of the name, so I had to have that too. Not long after that, they dropped Super from the name but they added 64 to the end, so I got that, because while 16 bit was twice as good as 8 bit, 64 bit was four times better than that. But then they moved Final Fantasy to something called the Sony PlayStation, and my roommate moved out, so there went all the old Sega stuff.One day something called Xbox was created, but I hated Microsoft, and so I just kept playing my PlayStation 2. Eventually I had to get a job that required a computer. I spent some money on that and got hooked playing PC games online. I would eventually own an XBOX360 and Nintendo Wii, but by then I had upgraded my computer so much that it had solved the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything. Oddly enough, despite my PC being a veritable supercomputer named HAL, all I wanted to do was continue playing quake, counter-strike and browse the internets, for, you know, educational purposes.Eventually I would only be vaguely aware of the console wars as my computer had evolved beyond all reason and demanded so much of my attention that I began to suspect some form of sentience. I did what HAL asked of me, and connected him to my phone just so I could go outside and see the sunshine through the window of my favorite coffee shop where I would think about the games I used to play while checking Quora for updates every six seconds, waiting for the last few bytes on my data plan to run out so I could finally go home and sleep.The end.Signed, a (mostly) former game addict.The moral of my little story is that there is no such thing as best. You can either collect all the thingsssss or enjoy sharing video game stories with a friend who was stomping around in middle earth on their PC while you were sniping insurgents or collecting all the achievements in the latest XBLA indie game. As long as you are having fun, it doesn’t really matter how you were having it, because, fun is really the only point to gaming.And take it from me, get outside once in a while. It's nice out. A bike ride or a good book in the park won't kill you. Well, your electric bill might if you left your game console running because for some reason there is no save point in the extremely long corridor of infinite monsters.Which reminds me... :)
Which next-gen console will you buy:PS4, Xbox One, or WiiU? Why?
As it will be some years before I need to replace my PS3, it's hard to tell. If I had to choose today, however, it would be the Xbox One. Why?I am not a hardcore gamer. The XBox one seems like it has and will continue to have more non-game entertainment options.Did I mention I'm not a hardcore gamer? I play games maybe an hour a month. I own four games. I've never wanted to sell one, never wanted to borrow someone else's games, and thus don't care about any of that stuff. I also never done multiplayer online gaming and have no intention of ever doing so.I'm hoping the XBox One will eventually allow me to get rid of the cable box. The PS4 hasn't made any moves in that direction, and it's a bit of a thing for me.Based on Ariel Williams' answer, it seems like the XBox One will have a slower fade into technological obsolescence.I'm intrigued by Kinect, which I've read is better, more sophisticated and more versatile than the Sony Camera (or whatever it's called)And because I don't care about the biggest complaints people are making about the XBox One. Required Internet connection? My PS3 is already permanently connected to my WiFi. (Honestly, I don't understand the fuss over this issue: I assumed that our consoles have been permanently connected to the Internet for years. It's like getting mad when your employer says all employees are required to shower daily. Don't you do that already?) Oh, and the privacy issue with the Kinect? A non-issue. To save electricity, I turn off the power strip that my game, cable box, and TV are plugged into when not in use. Let's see Kinect invade my privacy now. (And heck, if it bothers you so much? Throw a towel over it when you're not using it. How hard is that?)To put it succinctly, I'd pick the XBox One because I'm not interested in a gaming console. I'm interested in a media/home entertainment hub-like device that happens to have gaming capabilities.
