i like the aesthetic of the psx jitteriness but i know that's probably due some to nostalgia

Where's the lie?

some of the best sprite work in 2D games ever made, some of the best pre-rendered backgrounds in history? If you mean character models, then yeah, some games look bad, but stuff like FF9, RE2/3, Silent Hill, Ridge Racer 4, ect, look fantastic (especially on an emulator these days like Duckstation) where N64 can't even get emulation right

I liked n64 better than psx back then but I haven't played an n64 game since the ps2 came out and i've played thousands of hours of psx games since then.

Can’t say anything about consoles I never played. The worst I owned was probably the Xbox if I had to rank them. 32X is definitely the worst if that counts.

did psx have one of these babies you could jam in it and leave uncovered so your console looks like a hot rod? didnt think so

My friend introduced me to playstation by being like dude I have to show you the funniest game I've ever played and he brought over his psx and resident evil 1 and we spent the whole day laughing at the godlike voice acting. Then another friend introduced me to ffvii and rpgs and that was a wrap.

N64 is sick, but in the eternal words of Chad Warden, come on now!

the crunchiness/jitteriness of the psx always looked way worse to me than the blurriness/muddiness of the n64. the early fully polygonal days were rough no matter what though, didnt really come into their own until the gc/ps2/xbo era

My mom bought me Gex: Enter the Gecko for N64 and I was reading the manual to her on the way home, but stopped when I came to "Mission Briefing" because I had a vague idea of what briefs were and thought it was a sexual term

we got an n64 for christmas with mario 64. then sometime later we got a playstation and my brother and i were looking at the games. we were gonna get FF7 but it was over our allotted budget so we picked FFT without knowing anything about it because hey it's also final fantasy. gotta be good right. and it was.

I played the tutorial and snow level of Gex 3 probably 500 times as a kid but never went further because the next one was a Vampire level and it scared me too much.

Well, just judging by the 90s it was probably made by perverts. So who’s to say

Yeah same here, but I only got games/consoles on Christmas so there were years gaps between me having certain consoles. I had an N64 before a Playstation. FF7 was what made me ask for a Playstation, my mom was pissed when I told her the characters swear in it lol. But everyone in my 5th grade class was playing it and we would swap tips and rumors about reviving Aeris and stuff. And no one believed me when I said I beat Emerald Weapon.
