If you could only re-experience from new one game (like total immersion, wide-eyed wonder-at-the-majesty-of-it-all re-experience) and had yet to pick a console (Xbox versus PlayStation), what game on which console and why? (and feel free to remark on ideal controllers, add-ons, etc.)

I was hoping Starfield might be that kind of galvanizing experience, but the reviews are pretty underwhelming. So now casting about for the real deal.

    Did you play it online, and was the community active in GameCube? (Was it cross platform with dreamcast?)

    I played the shit out of pso episode1 on DC, but sisnt have access to a credit cards, or funds for that matter, for episode 2.

      I didn’t get to sadly. It was actually before my time and I had a friend get me into it around 2010 in high school.

      I don’t think it was cross platform, as each console version was a different version of the game. The GameCube version differed greatly in some aspects from the DreamCast version. There are online servers for the PC version (Blue Burst) still in existence today. That version had all the content of the previous iterations with an extra last boss fight and level.
