PS2 or PS3.
Those systems are where most of today's stagnant franchises started. The modern universal control scheme started with the PS2 (that is, actually utilising both sticks in the modern tradition), so there's no issues with playability.
I've been replaying GTA V, which is a PS3 game in case we all forgot.
A good PS2 and PS3 off eBay will reawaken your love for gaming. The PS2 has so many smaller classics that don't get much love now (Sly Cooper!), and we're still being sold and resold PS3 games to this day.
