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.

You are correct. I really want someone to convince me to go out and buy a console and game today but I thank you for your reply and if I come into a game cube, “Phantasy Star Online Episode 1&2” will be at the top of my list! Was the game that special or was it more of a beautiful time-in-the-life kind of impression?

The game was that special, I mean it originally released for DreamCast and it had online play! Its a special kind of RPG that actually defined what Phantasy Star would become in the coming decades.

The novelty of being one of the first online, somewhat massively multi-player persistent rpg, was very special for 2000-2001, at least for the minimum wage earning, console-only teen that I was.
