Tomb Raider. My cousin brought it over along with his PlayStation during a family get together. I remember being absolutely blown away by it.

@nomither6
Midnight Club games were such a awesome experience.
@Olmaz my journey into the R E Verse started with R E 2 PSX the experience is instilled into my brain.

Jeez, I struggle to remember that far back! 😂 But it was probably Resident Evil or Tomb Raider.

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

And for PS2 it was Metal Gear Solid 2.

PS3 I skipped.

PS4 It wasn't one particular game, just being bored of what Xbox had to offer. If The Last of Us was announced for PS4 version before I got the console, that was one game I was gutted I missed out on.

PS5 Demon Souls

Got PS2 for MGS2.... and then came back to gaming during the pandemic.

Made a call based on exclusives, there was nothing really 'grabbing' me from the XB side (never been a Halo fan) - so it was DeS remake that clinched me getting a PS5

Gravity Rush, Persona 4 Golden, Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, and Corpse Party - PS Vita. Never owned a PSP, so I also took that library into consideration.

Final Fantasy VII - PS1
Silent Hill 2 - PS2
Gravity Rush 2, Silent Hills, and Persona 5 - PS4. At least two of those worked out, although now we won't be getting any more GR games.

The game that got (my mum) to buy me a PlayStation was actually Die Hard Trilogy!

PlayStation 2 - SSX

PlayStation 3 - MGS4

PlayStation 4 - let’s be real there were no games for a year and I was buying it on auto pilot

PlayStation 5 - it’s hard to justify this purchase looking at the software catalogue. 3 years in and its crossgen titles and a few exclusives. Demon Souls was nice, but that’s it. I can justify it based on the quieter performance and the faster loading, but this gen has been a bit of a bust so far. Baldurs Gate 3 is good!

It'd get even worse if I included my Nintendo DS Lite, which was purchased purely for the Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush games. I'm nothing if not consistent!

The game was GTA3, the console was PS2, and it cost $200 after a recent price cut. That was December 2002. I went from a Super Nintendo to a PS2. My life then did not allow much time for gaming but time for rented movies. Blockbuster would be out of vcr tapes while having dvd copies. I needed a dvd player actually more than a game console so I could rent the latest movies.

The killer was when I watched and sampled GTA3 while visiting a friend. I purchased my PS2 the next week.

My vcr worked well with my PS2 and my Super Nintento when I found game play could be recorded onto vcr tape.
