"There wasn't a single PS3 exclusive I needed to have" The Uncharted Series, God of War, The Last of Us, Infamous, Beyond Two Souls, Metal Gear Solid, this console imo had the best exclusives in that generation of consoles
You're actually wrong about the Gamecube dude. Though it was a common misconception, if you look up the specs, the Gamecube was actually more powerful than the Ps2 in every metric. Its big downfall was the proprietary discs, small and could not hold more a couple gigs of data, meaning a lot of games had to be scaled down. General speaking when games had multi platform releases, they often performed the worst on ps2, gamecubes graphics are better, though even at the time I believed otherwise lol. Xbox was more or less twice as powerful as the Gamecube, Microsoft sold them at a huge loss purposely to build a follower base (and honest they can afford to lose millions of dollars lmao) ~ Done with my nerd rant, Gamecube stan forever lmao
Gamecube should be S tier. 🙌🏻 My favorite games to this day are on Gamecube. I feel like other consoles are mostly shooters which I have zero interest in. Yes, Finn, I would rather ONLY play Gamecube than any other console forever! I also just love Gamecube controllers.
"GameCube's graphics were outdated on release"? Whoever that guy was in chat has no idea what they're talking about. GameCube was kind of a little monster when it came out. Not quite to the level of the Xbox, but certainly more powerful than the PS2, and it held it's own for a long time. I actually think for the first year or so if it's life, it was pumping out better looking games than the Xbox. It wasn't really until Splinter Cell when the Xbox REALLY started showing it's power and taking the graphical lead among the three consoles of that generation. Regardless though, I think the GameCube is one of the most underappreciated consoles of all time. It's full of classics. And it was Nintendo's last "traditional" console tbh.
You got a lot of power for the money. It was priced at $100 dollars after a couple years. It didn't get a lot of 3rd party games because Nintendo made the same mistake they made with the 64 and went with mini discs instead of DVDs
Also wasn't Luigi's Mansion loved by almost everybody? Isn't it a classic now that has to sequel? I don't think a game has to be as epic as Halo to have a big following like Luigi's Mansion did.
@@nevermindgaming6848 some of that might boil down to how hard Nintendo makes it to develop for any of their platforms or that the memory on the GC discs were smaller hence why they got double discs like with 007 Rogue Agent. The GameCube hands down had better graphics than the ps2 though.

I JUST Subscribed this week . showed my wife. she did too. you were quickly becoming my fav youtuber. a couple of reasons. Number one, I really feel your stories about being a huge screw up when you were younger and seeing the evidence of all the growing and improving you have made is my story to a T. Number 2 Seeing your mature take on music. I was born in 85 and remember kids would have lost their lives if they admitted to liking certain bands, BSB, GREEN DAY, Creed etc. I remember all the stupid gatekeeper shit us "Real fans" all the bands we had to pretend to be super into and all the bad bands we had to either vocally hate or sneak a listen to on the dl while simultaneously disssing them. I used to be that guy and after growing I hate that guy. Number 3 you have been more influential than almost all of my homies as you were able to get us to give new bands a try. I moved my wife and kids to Shenzhen China back in 2013 and brought two 500 disc cases of 80s and 90s cartoons, only show them 80s music movies usually etc. was also massive into hip hop all that blah blah. I just had given up on new music almost 100 percent. after 2 weeks of your videos got into Ronnie Rad (who didnt even know who he was.) Jxdn, Young bludd, etc all dope. Its good to hearr ya be real BUT..................... Where you put the Dreamcast on this list is unforgivable! Unsubbed. hahahha. I am joking but the Dreamcast Changed my life. I was locked up in a place called the Utah Boys Ranch as a teenager nick named the Mormon Gulag and actually the DC was instrumental in keeping me a live , now that I think about it . the 1st video I ever made when I didn't know how to produce vids on this channel While living in Shenzhen was my Dreamcast story if ya wanna hear it. any way take back what you said about my best friend and I will let it slide. apologies for voice to text typos. Keep it up Finn I think you are friends with my famous TH-camr buddy from China Laowai86. Tell him Kodak Says hi. I have some vids roasting him and Serpentza back in the day . lol
Super Mario Bros. 3 was the first game that I remember highly anticipating to be released. I only owned one for a couple of years before the SNES was released though. Bought SNES on day of release, and finished Super Mario World the same day! When PS1 was released I had a dream that I got one and was really happy, but then I woke up, and was devastated that I didn't have one!
Same here. 84 baby, got an NES when I was like 5-6? long after it launched, and the SNES was the first system I was PSYCHED to get (which I got for Christmas when I was 8). I'll never forget the first commercial I saw and seeing the big boo in Mario World, I distinctly remember FREAKING THE FUCK OUT, lol.
Im just waiting for Finn to turn into a swap meet going, shelf collecting gamer. Then to evolve into a balding overweight, neck beard who does nothing gaming related and turned into an anti SJW drama channel.
Great video Finn, I'm same age as you so I remember all these, but you did miss out the Commodore 64 with the cassette cartridges LOL!!! Gonna pick up an Edgy Font shirt bro
FINN long time sub, I remember chatting with you on instagram before you had 2k subs.. crazy. Ima buy a shirt cuz your videos are great although I’ve disagreed a few times. Keep it up bro
Literally the single soonest day it could have been shipped upon release, the tenant before me ordered the highest tier package bundle for the PS5 to my apartment. I got in contact with the guy who bought it to give it back(because it was obviously expensive), but he was just like “haha, its okay dude. That was my own mistake. Just keep it. I already have another on the way. Consider it a housewarming gift”. He was a real one lemme tell you
I was one of the few kids with a 3DO. My dad worked for Sony and won it at work. It was such a wild experience that my first game system was a 3DO and then point and click quest for glory style games on pc lol
GameCube was Nintendo's last real console, and it had a bottomless pit of AMAZING 1st party and 2nd party games. And the controller was a masterpiece! Even to this day, I still play it regularly. I grew up in the Genesis/SNES era and had a GameCube in my teens when hardly anyone else them since they were the uncool console of the generation. But the games though!! Super smash Bros Melee, Resident Evil Remake, Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness, The Wind Waker, Pikmin, Resident Evil 4, Mario Party 4, F-Zero GX, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Timesplitters 2, 007 Nightfire, Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes, Super Monkey Ball. They were all amazing and I played the hell out of them.
I think I agree with just about everything except for the PS3 ranking. The "Uncharted" series and "God of War 3" are a few of my favorite games; at the time, the only appeal of the Xbox 360 was that it had "Bioshock", but once they made that for PS3, it was pretty much a perfect console for me.
I wanted a dreamcast so bad back in the day, but my dad couldn't find any. We ended up getting a ps1 instead (we were a bit behind) but that was where I started my love for sony.
@@adlerdefender8067 Sure not wanting cross play is a weird decision. Charging for upgrades, didn't they kind of go back on that? Even still, there is still work done on those upgrades, so I don't see an issue with that in certain circumstances. At least now when you buy a game you get the ps4 and ps5 version together. And backwards compatibility is not as easy as it may seem. Yes microsoft did it, but they have tons and tons and tons more money than sony has.
@@joshkuchmy8801 ??? More money? Sony has been in the game since late 90's at one point the Ps2 was the most sell console so money shouldn't be an issue. Sony is just anti consumer, they just take advantage of their fanbase just like Apple does..
I love Finn’s twitch clip tier list videos for sure. As I am close to Finn’s age, I can say that we have similar memories with gaming consoles. I’d have to say my top consoles throughout my childhood to now would be: SEGA Genesis, SUPER Nintendo, N64, PS2, PS4 & OCULUS. This is my opinion of course lol
That boxing game on Dreamcast was legit. Maniac Mansion was my favorite NES game and the gold cartridge Link game. Oh the day's of "pfffffffffft" in the slot and cartridge lol
PS3 is S Tier for me. The free online, Blu-ray player and rechargeable controller made up for lack of exclusives. OG Xbox is A Tier. Exclusives weren’t good. But the Controller S is still one of the best controllers ever. And every game that was cross-platform looked and played better than on PS2. And a lot of games had the ability to listen to your own music while you played. Shooting my way through streets of Verblensk in BLACK while the theme to “Pokémon: The First Movie” plays in the background will always be a fond memory.
OG Xbox had a core of extremely strong exclusives, imo. Star Wars:Knights of the Old Republic is one of the best rpg's of all time, and Bioware' s other offerings like KotOR 2 and Jade Empire were also good. Of course, Halo 1+2. Forza Motorsport. Online shooters like Mechwarrior and Crimson Skies were a lot of fun. To put it below GameCube doesn't make a lot of sense to me based on 3rd party support.
@@mattb.2740every generation always has and always will lose to a PS. PS3 is definitely the best system overall of the 21 century. I like my 4 and 2 was really good, I’ll get around to the 5 but everything Microsoft sucks.
Dude, I can’t believe you had a PSP signed by project 86. That’s so cool, I loved that band around the time, truthless hero’s was suck a sick album. Anyway, I’d have fought you for that PSP.
Haven't watched this yet, but since Finn talks about 90's JRPGs and Super Metroid, I'm assuming SNES is S tier. Also, he uses the MGS codec sound effect and talks about FF7, so I'm thinking PS1 is A or S.
I'm probably a similar age (I'm 35)... and your list is pretty spot on! Playstation and SNES are my favorites of all time. And I agree with your "controversial" takes as well, like XBox and GameCube and stuff.
Love this video. Hope to see more. Most of my favorite games that I have ever played were played on the Xbox 360 and the OG Playstation, so those have to be S-tier for me. I would love to see you add some more of the handheld stuff in a later video. For me, GBC is S-tier despite its only difference being a simple gimmick. I played the Dragon Warrior and Pokemon games until the cartridges failed.
Love the gaming content man! Really switches things up on this channel. I grew up on the Nintendo DS due to Pokémon, Metroid, etc. And Xbox because Halo was my favorite shooter franchise, I really enjoyed Gears of War on the 360 as well, and even though I game a lot on my PC nowadays, my fave console this Gen is definitely the PS4, they really stepped it up since the PS3 imo
I bought gamecube because of RE4 exclusive at the time and Twin Snakes. Plus it had Zelda, Metroid and REmake. I was really gone for a year into those games and it was my first non-pirated console. And it had probably best controller in the industry.
But the PS3 was KNOWN for their exclusives! Uncharted, Heavy Rain, Killzone, God of War, Resistance, Motorstorm, The Last of Us, Ratchet, Demon Souls, Infamous, Little Big Planet, Gran Turismo and Metal Gear Solid 4 to name a few. I'd say only the snes or ps1 comes close to the quality and amount of exclusive games. Respect for shouting out mg acid on psp though, a very interesting and fun take on the series not enough people talk about.
In my opinion the PSP and PS3 are the greatest game consoles of all time, ENORMOUS libraries of amazing exclusives and a beautiful ui with the XMB that made them far more than consoles, they were full blown media centres.
100% agree with your take on Super Mario World. I go back and play through most of it every couple years. Saw one of friends from college posting on FB about introducing his son to it, because it was his favorite game growing up, too.
Also, I'm old enough to have nostalgia for NES & Sega Master system (lol), but I had a great gaming "silver age" when I was stationed in Korea in the 2000s. The electronics markets modded our PS2s and OG Xboxes so we had a wealth of awesome international PS2 games at our fingertips, but we also had so many dudes in the barracks with tricked out xboxes that you could literally link together to download games from one another via FTP. Felt like I was in the future!
Still have my Nintendo I got on Christmas like 88, my Sega,, Dreamcast, Saturn, and Super Nintendo. Still play them all to this day. Loved my PsP, Gameboy as well. Got so many headaches from the red blaring light of my virtualboy as well.
I bought a second hand game cube with a load of games for ten pounds a few years back and was amazed how much fun it was. I had the PS2 at the time and didn’t know anyone with the game cube so it totally flew by me. Really great underrated console that just came out at the wrong time.
I have a large collection of OG Xbox games. Have you heard of Mechassault? Tao Feng? There are certainly some hidden gems that you missed, Finn. But anyway, Great vid as always, my man!
I believe the best use of the extra screen on the 🎮 controller of the Dreamcast was picking plays in football against friends without having to give away the play.
Great vid - would have loved to see your ranking of the 3DS. IMO the ultimate moddable handheld, since there are no worries about bans (and no injecting payloads) and it's got a really good library of games
The GameCube was actually pretty powerful compared to the other consoles on the market at the time. It was more powerful than the PS2 and quiet a bit more powerful than Dreamcast.
The PSP was awesome. If they came out with modern version with a better screen and connectivity, I'd definitely grab one. Liked that you could play music and games off an SD card. The PSP disk things themselves need a rework as well, they were so fragile.
My two favorite consoles are N64 and GameCube because those are what I played the most as a kid. I loved the Mario games, Pokemon Stadium, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Starfox, and even Luigi's Mansion. I still have my Gameboy Color and SP, played mostly Pokemon games on those back in the day. I bought a PS2 when I was in middle school, played mostly MLB and Burnout games on it. My brother had an XBox, I really liked Halo but could never get into COD or anything else. I ended up selling my PS2 after not using it for like 10 years, but I recently dusted off my silver GameCube I got for Christmas when I was 8, and honestly I love it now as much as I did then.
Multi - disk games felt so epic to me growing up. FF7 on the PlayStation and RE4 on the GameCube we’re absolutely my shit. Spent so much time sitting in class thinking about them damn games.
Just so that you are aware, there is an image floating around on Google Images of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson playing Dreamcast in the back of a GM SUV (perhaps Escalade?). It's an iconic image!
Also in regards to the Wii, it was the only console of that generation to have a disk drive yet could not play DVDs out of the box. You had to acquire a special disk to unlock the feature, while the Xbox 360 and PS3 could without any extra money or work.
Dude, the VMU was what you used to save games, the console itself didn't have any RAM. The Tamogochi stuff was just an additional feature. There were a few really good RPGs, Skies of Arcadia being one, and Shenmue 1 & 2 being absolutely game-changing in their day. You also have to factor that the PS2 was a difficult game to develop for, so even after it came out the Dramcast still out-performed it for a solid year before the devs caught up with the tech.
The dreamcast was a great console for fighting game fans. Soul Calibur, and a bunch of awesome capcom fighters like project justice, street fighter ports, MvC, techromancer, etc etc.
I haven’t checked out your channel in awhile. I was watching a lot of your videos about music. I didn’t know you’re into video games. I subscribed!!! I didn’t care for the ps3 to much. I only play ps1 games on it haha.
If I remember correctly, there were a few different issues that could cause a red ring of death. The most common one was actually relatively easy to fix. Had to do with poor thermal design. The thermal compound would become malleable and allow the heat sink to separate from the board. You could just crack it open, scrape their shit thermal compound off and slap some Arctic Silver on there.
PlayStations had the same thing but it was called the yellow light of death. The heat sync would do the same thing and degrade over time however if you kept overheating the console it’d pretty much just fry itself to death. I had a launch PS3 and like 7 years ago it completely burnt up lol
I really enjoyed your opinions on games consoles even if I disagree with quite a few points you made. I like these style uploads though Finn good work.
I honestly really enjoy these types of videos, would love to see more gaming based videos on the channel.
Thank you!

@@kylestahlman8013 correction, corey taylor opinion videos**

Same even tho he's wrong about Xbox I had so much pirated music on there and it was great because some of the Xbox games had terrible music

Gotta love the diverse experiences Sony first party action adventure cinematic linear GOTY-bait games offer.

I JUST Subscribed this week . showed my wife. she did too. you were quickly becoming my fav youtuber. a couple of reasons. Number one, I really feel your stories about being a huge screw up when you were younger and seeing the evidence of all the growing and improving you have made is my story to a T.
Number 2 Seeing your mature take on music. I was born in 85 and remember kids would have lost their lives if they admitted to liking certain bands, BSB, GREEN DAY, Creed etc. I remember all the stupid gatekeeper shit us "Real fans" all the bands we had to pretend to be super into and all the bad bands we had to either vocally hate or sneak a listen to on the dl while simultaneously disssing them. I used to be that guy and after growing I hate that guy.
Number 3 you have been more influential than almost all of my homies as you were able to get us to give new bands a try. I moved my wife and kids to Shenzhen China back in 2013 and brought two 500 disc cases of 80s and 90s cartoons, only show them 80s music movies usually etc. was also massive into hip hop all that blah blah. I just had given up on new music almost 100 percent. after 2 weeks of your videos got into Ronnie Rad (who didnt even know who he was.) Jxdn, Young bludd, etc all dope. Its good to hearr ya be real BUT.....................
Where you put the Dreamcast on this list is unforgivable! Unsubbed. hahahha. I am joking but the Dreamcast Changed my life. I was locked up in a place called the Utah Boys Ranch as a teenager nick named the Mormon Gulag and actually the DC was instrumental in keeping me a live , now that I think about it . the 1st video I ever made when I didn't know how to produce vids on this channel While living in Shenzhen was my Dreamcast story if ya wanna hear it.
any way take back what you said about my best friend and I will let it slide.
apologies for voice to text typos. Keep it up Finn I think you are friends with my famous TH-camr buddy from China Laowai86. Tell him Kodak Says hi. I have some vids roasting him and Serpentza back in the day . lol
Thanks man! Yes I know him, I used to go to shenzhen a lot
Super Mario Bros. 3 was the first game that I remember highly anticipating to be released. I only owned one for a couple of years before the SNES was released though.
Bought SNES on day of release, and finished Super Mario World the same day!
When PS1 was released I had a dream that I got one and was really happy, but then I woke up, and was devastated that I didn't have one!
Same here. 84 baby, got an NES when I was like 5-6? long after it launched, and the SNES was the first system I was PSYCHED to get (which I got for Christmas when I was 8). I'll never forget the first commercial I saw and seeing the big boo in Mario World, I distinctly remember FREAKING THE FUCK OUT, lol.
Yep, saw The Wizard in the movie theater on opening weekend. The release of SM3 absolutely blew me away
Here's a throwback I remember. The PS3 playing Spiderman 3 in a display case in Blockbuster. What a staple in time.
Im just waiting for Finn to turn into a swap meet going, shelf collecting gamer. Then to evolve into a balding overweight, neck beard who does nothing gaming related and turned into an anti SJW drama channel.
LOL. I was one of those collectors about 20 years ago, thank god I grew out of that
Anti SJWs are safe but sjws need to go away
Great video Finn, I'm same age as you so I remember all these, but you did miss out the Commodore 64 with the cassette cartridges LOL!!!
Gonna pick up an Edgy Font shirt bro
Loved the c64!
Holy shit finally someone else that knows how awesome Jeanne D’Arc is that game deserved so much more attention
FINN long time sub, I remember chatting with you on instagram before you had 2k subs.. crazy. Ima buy a shirt cuz your videos are great although I’ve disagreed a few times. Keep it up bro
Thanks for all the support!
Literally the single soonest day it could have been shipped upon release, the tenant before me ordered the highest tier package bundle for the PS5 to my apartment. I got in contact with the guy who bought it to give it back(because it was obviously expensive), but he was just like “haha, its okay dude. That was my own mistake. Just keep it. I already have another on the way. Consider it a housewarming gift”. He was a real one lemme tell you
Holy shit lol
I don't care if you're gay, bi, or flat out straight, you should marry that man..
Please more video game vids! This was so much fun! Well done Finn!
I was one of the few kids with a 3DO. My dad worked for Sony and won it at work. It was such a wild experience that my first game system was a 3DO and then point and click quest for glory style games on pc lol
GameCube was Nintendo's last real console, and it had a bottomless pit of AMAZING 1st party and 2nd party games. And the controller was a masterpiece! Even to this day, I still play it regularly. I grew up in the Genesis/SNES era and had a GameCube in my teens when hardly anyone else them since they were the uncool console of the generation.
But the games though!! Super smash Bros Melee, Resident Evil Remake, Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness, The Wind Waker, Pikmin, Resident Evil 4, Mario Party 4, F-Zero GX, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Timesplitters 2, 007 Nightfire, Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes, Super Monkey Ball. They were all amazing and I played the hell out of them.
I think I agree with just about everything except for the PS3 ranking. The "Uncharted" series and "God of War 3" are a few of my favorite games; at the time, the only appeal of the Xbox 360 was that it had "Bioshock", but once they made that for PS3, it was pretty much a perfect console for me.
Your musical takes are very spicy. I think you have the right personality for a very entertaining gaming channel.
I wanted a dreamcast so bad back in the day, but my dad couldn't find any. We ended up getting a ps1 instead (we were a bit behind) but that was where I started my love for sony.
Too bad Sony became the anticosumer juggernaut we have today...
@@adlerdefender8067 How so?
@@joshkuchmy8801 they didn't want cross play, they charge for the upgrade, no backwards capable etc
@@adlerdefender8067 Sure not wanting cross play is a weird decision. Charging for upgrades, didn't they kind of go back on that? Even still, there is still work done on those upgrades, so I don't see an issue with that in certain circumstances. At least now when you buy a game you get the ps4 and ps5 version together.
And backwards compatibility is not as easy as it may seem. Yes microsoft did it, but they have tons and tons and tons more money than sony has.
@@joshkuchmy8801 ??? More money? Sony has been in the game since late 90's at one point the Ps2 was the most sell console so money shouldn't be an issue. Sony is just anti consumer, they just take advantage of their fanbase just like Apple does..
I love Finn’s twitch clip tier list videos for sure. As I am close to Finn’s age, I can say that we have similar memories with gaming consoles. I’d have to say my top consoles throughout my childhood to now would be: SEGA Genesis, SUPER Nintendo, N64, PS2, PS4 & OCULUS. This is my opinion of course lol
I never had a console in my life and I hate videogames. Why am I even watching this? 😂 At this point I'm gonna watch anything that Finn puts out 😁
I'm so sorry 😟
How can you hate video games? That’s like saying “I hate fun”.
YES MY SONNN!! You are truly tapping into your personal channel. I hope your Missus can find her way too soon
Gamecube was more powerful than the PS2 and almost as powerful as the Xbox. Also, thanks for mentioning Canon Spike. I loved that game.
That's hilarious dude it's not tho sorry Nintendo was always behind with technology
That boxing game on Dreamcast was legit.
Maniac Mansion was my favorite NES game and the gold cartridge Link game.
Oh the day's of "pfffffffffft" in the slot and cartridge lol
Shout out to myself for still having my orange 9/9/99 Dreamcast t-shirt that I got for free on launch night! 🤘
19:27 "Look at this monstrosity"
Yeah, AVGN also said it looks like the damn console is on life support.
PS3 is S Tier for me. The free online, Blu-ray player and rechargeable controller made up for lack of exclusives.
OG Xbox is A Tier. Exclusives weren’t good. But the Controller S is still one of the best controllers ever. And every game that was cross-platform looked and played better than on PS2. And a lot of games had the ability to listen to your own music while you played. Shooting my way through streets of Verblensk in BLACK while the theme to “Pokémon: The First Movie” plays in the background will always be a fond memory.
OG Xbox had a core of extremely strong exclusives, imo. Star Wars:Knights of the Old Republic is one of the best rpg's of all time, and Bioware' s other offerings like KotOR 2 and Jade Empire were also good. Of course, Halo 1+2. Forza Motorsport. Online shooters like Mechwarrior and Crimson Skies were a lot of fun. To put it below GameCube doesn't make a lot of sense to me based on 3rd party support.
@@mattb.2740every generation always has and always will lose to a PS. PS3 is definitely the best system overall of the 21 century. I like my 4 and 2 was really good, I’ll get around to the 5 but everything Microsoft sucks.
Dude, I can’t believe you had a PSP signed by project 86. That’s so cool, I loved that band around the time, truthless hero’s was suck a sick album. Anyway, I’d have fought you for that PSP.
Haven't watched this yet, but since Finn talks about 90's JRPGs and Super Metroid, I'm assuming SNES is S tier. Also, he uses the MGS codec sound effect and talks about FF7, so I'm thinking PS1 is A or S.
UNBELIEVABLE :O A Finn video where the opinions aren't total trash?! I never thought I'd see the day....
Skipped to the end, glad I didn't watch.
It's over, Xbox bros.
I'm probably a similar age (I'm 35)... and your list is pretty spot on! Playstation and SNES are my favorites of all time. And I agree with your "controversial" takes as well, like XBox and GameCube and stuff.
You name dropping “Tomba” makes me so happy!! What a great series
i love these sorts of vids finn! my first console was an xbox 360 and i used to love playing minecraft on it!
Never thought about the dreamcast being an arcade port machine. That's why I loved playing it with my friends but not often alone.
Love this video. Hope to see more. Most of my favorite games that I have ever played were played on the Xbox 360 and the OG Playstation, so those have to be S-tier for me. I would love to see you add some more of the handheld stuff in a later video. For me, GBC is S-tier despite its only difference being a simple gimmick. I played the Dragon Warrior and Pokemon games until the cartridges failed.
Love the gaming content man! Really switches things up on this channel. I grew up on the Nintendo DS due to Pokémon, Metroid, etc. And Xbox because Halo was my favorite shooter franchise, I really enjoyed Gears of War on the 360 as well, and even though I game a lot on my PC nowadays, my fave console this Gen is definitely the PS4, they really stepped it up since the PS3 imo
I bought gamecube because of RE4 exclusive at the time and Twin Snakes. Plus it had Zelda, Metroid and REmake. I was really gone for a year into those games and it was my first non-pirated console. And it had probably best controller in the industry.
But the PS3 was KNOWN for their exclusives! Uncharted, Heavy Rain, Killzone, God of War, Resistance, Motorstorm, The Last of Us, Ratchet, Demon Souls, Infamous, Little Big Planet, Gran Turismo and Metal Gear Solid 4 to name a few. I'd say only the snes or ps1 comes close to the quality and amount of exclusive games. Respect for shouting out mg acid on psp though, a very interesting and fun take on the series not enough people talk about.
In my opinion the PSP and PS3 are the greatest game consoles of all time, ENORMOUS libraries of amazing exclusives and a beautiful ui with the XMB that made them far more than consoles, they were full blown media centres.
100% agree with your take on Super Mario World. I go back and play through most of it every couple years. Saw one of friends from college posting on FB about introducing his son to it, because it was his favorite game growing up, too.
Also, I'm old enough to have nostalgia for NES & Sega Master system (lol), but I had a great gaming "silver age" when I was stationed in Korea in the 2000s. The electronics markets modded our PS2s and OG Xboxes so we had a wealth of awesome international PS2 games at our fingertips, but we also had so many dudes in the barracks with tricked out xboxes that you could literally link together to download games from one another via FTP. Felt like I was in the future!
FTP 😅
Still have my Nintendo I got on Christmas like 88, my Sega,, Dreamcast, Saturn, and Super Nintendo. Still play them all to this day. Loved my PsP, Gameboy as well. Got so many headaches from the red blaring light of my virtualboy as well.
Dude old console and even game night releases were the absolute best. I remember chillin hard in front of game stop for game releases.
Awesome video. Hope one day there will be a part 2 to this!
I bought a second hand game cube with a load of games for ten pounds a few years back and was amazed how much fun it was. I had the PS2 at the time and didn’t know anyone with the game cube so it totally flew by me. Really great underrated console that just came out at the wrong time.
I have a large collection of OG Xbox games. Have you heard of Mechassault? Tao Feng? There are certainly some hidden gems that you missed, Finn. But anyway, Great vid as always, my man!
I believe the best use of the extra screen on the 🎮 controller of the Dreamcast was picking plays in football against friends without having to give away the play.
That cartoon monster shirt is pretty rad. Might have to snag one. Keep up the grind Finn!
Skies of Arcadia was a dreamcast exclusive RPG and that game was absolutely amazing
There was a great GameCube port later on as well!
@@scottwarren3948 I i'm well-aware. I logged hundreds of hours on that game.
Great vid - would have loved to see your ranking of the 3DS. IMO the ultimate moddable handheld, since there are no worries about bans (and no injecting payloads) and it's got a really good library of games
The GameCube was actually pretty powerful compared to the other consoles on the market at the time. It was more powerful than the PS2 and quiet a bit more powerful than Dreamcast.
The graphics in soul calibur II were mind-blowing
Awesome tier video Finn!!! Really enjoyed this 👌🏻
The PSP was awesome. If they came out with modern version with a better screen and connectivity, I'd definitely grab one. Liked that you could play music and games off an SD card. The PSP disk things themselves need a rework as well, they were so fragile.
PS3 Later in it's life had both GTA V and TLOU as exclusives, mega hits.
My two favorite consoles are N64 and GameCube because those are what I played the most as a kid. I loved the Mario games, Pokemon Stadium, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Starfox, and even Luigi's Mansion. I still have my Gameboy Color and SP, played mostly Pokemon games on those back in the day. I bought a PS2 when I was in middle school, played mostly MLB and Burnout games on it. My brother had an XBox, I really liked Halo but could never get into COD or anything else. I ended up selling my PS2 after not using it for like 10 years, but I recently dusted off my silver GameCube I got for Christmas when I was 8, and honestly I love it now as much as I did then.
Multi - disk games felt so epic to me growing up. FF7 on the PlayStation and RE4 on the GameCube we’re absolutely my shit. Spent so much time sitting in class thinking about them damn games.
THIS is gonna be treat, thnx finn have nice weekend and stay safe!!!!
Ngl, I kinda like the wood paneling look to old consoles, if companies tried to modernize it with new consoles, I think it’d look pretty badass
I watched Old Boy and The Butterfly Effect for the first time on PSP UMD. Definitely the best way to watch a movie.
Nothing beats the sound of a 360 fan going super saiyan while ripping through horde mode in gears of war
PS3: Uncharted and Last of Us Exclusives come to mind immediately. Also Motorstorm Pacific Rift.
I kind of miss the the older videos from the main channel but this content is god tier
I still make the same type of videos on the main channel all the time!
Just so that you are aware, there is an image floating around on Google Images of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson playing Dreamcast in the back of a GM SUV (perhaps Escalade?). It's an iconic image!
My ps3 ran for like 20 years straight. They built a tank. It's still going today
PS3 is the goat console.
@@lucymorrisongoat console, but games were better on ps2
Also in regards to the Wii, it was the only console of that generation to have a disk drive yet could not play DVDs out of the box. You had to acquire a special disk to unlock the feature, while the Xbox 360 and PS3 could without any extra money or work.
Love your channel!!
Thank you!
My "Big 4" which I have hooked up to a crt at all times, is NES, SNES, Genesis and PS1. But I gottay say, I've got a real soft spot for the Dreamcast.
I never thought I'd hear Finn talk about TWEWY. Bro really knows his stuff!
I believe there was a news segment years ago when the PSP came out where they referred to it as the “PlayStation Pornable”
Any chance we’ll ever get you back on Sacred Symbols with Colin? Your last appearance was one of my favourite episodes. Cheers.
Dude, the VMU was what you used to save games, the console itself didn't have any RAM. The Tamogochi stuff was just an additional feature. There were a few really good RPGs, Skies of Arcadia being one, and Shenmue 1 & 2 being absolutely game-changing in their day. You also have to factor that the PS2 was a difficult game to develop for, so even after it came out the Dramcast still out-performed it for a solid year before the devs caught up with the tech.
What if somebody else played the whole goddanm Saturn collection and had a much different option about it than you
How would you feel
Was not expecting this but I’m totally here for it! It’s refreshing to not have music content from time to time!
The dreamcast was a great console for fighting game fans. Soul Calibur, and a bunch of awesome capcom fighters like project justice, street fighter ports, MvC, techromancer, etc etc.
GameCube over PS3 any day. Love the video! Do more of these.
Bruh nostalgia blinds people also no
Me and a friend of mine used to take a controlled substance and have mega-tournaments at wiigolf for hours... So much fun
I haven’t checked out your channel in awhile. I was watching a lot of your videos about music. I didn’t know you’re into video games. I subscribed!!! I didn’t care for the ps3 to much. I only play ps1 games on it haha.
Thanks man!
If I remember correctly, there were a few different issues that could cause a red ring of death. The most common one was actually relatively easy to fix. Had to do with poor thermal design. The thermal compound would become malleable and allow the heat sink to separate from the board. You could just crack it open, scrape their shit thermal compound off and slap some Arctic Silver on there.
My 360 got 3 ring of death and it still works.
PlayStations had the same thing but it was called the yellow light of death. The heat sync would do the same thing and degrade over time however if you kept overheating the console it’d pretty much just fry itself to death. I had a launch PS3 and like 7 years ago it completely burnt up lol
Finn: says he doesn't like nerdy shit
Also Finn: Makes video about gaming consoles
I really enjoyed your opinions on games consoles even if I disagree with quite a few points you made. I like these style uploads though Finn good work.
