02.21.12 | u guys getting the 3G or Wi-Fi?
i preordered the wi-fi but if i change my mind, i'll prob return it and get the 3G... i can't rationalize adding 15 bucks a month onto my phone bill w/o cutting out texting and, let's be honest, me even buying this thing is a complete (and yet, completely necessary) act of social regression, so idk if I want to cut texting
im going to wait on the uncharted game (which looks, and apparently plays, famously) for something more on the fly either marvel vs. capcom or wipeout 2048
im thinking of buying the 8GB card to hold me off until the bigger cards are cheaper (and available from third party manufacturers)
i also want to be dead with my friends. ex lives. 2 weeks. swag me the fuck out. |

02.21.12 | "won't be able to play the new smash bros" you know you're getting old when you didn't know they had released a new zelda game and there is supposedly a new smash bros -_- |
ThomasTheCure
02.21.12 | that console is gonna flop so hard. |
Aids
02.21.12 | new smash bros omg i forgot about that. let me know how it is, i might buy the console just for that. best video game series of all time
and I know, Maniac! |

Lol, what? They must not like playing actual video games on their handhelds then. |
Trebor.
02.21.12 | The PSP had like 3 good games
It was only good for illegal stuff and emulators
|
Erratic
02.21.12 | And it broke if you breathed on it too hard |
AsoTamaki
02.21.12 | If you think PSP had only 3 good games, then you must think that PS1 only had 3 good games. And that's ridiculous. |
AsoTamaki
02.21.12 | The only things that sucked about PSP was the the internet, browser, video capabilities, etc. - basically everything except using it for gaming. It still has the best game lineup to date. |
theacademy
02.21.12 | i actually bought 3 PSPs (2 PSP-1000s, 1 PSP-3000)
sold one of the 1000s when they were initially discontinued b/c people were afraid it would take too long to hack the new ones
the PSP was actually a pretty huge success Trebor, it was just overshadowed by the DS
also TechieCore I have a Galaxy and the games are a joke (they're really no better than iOS games, which are a fucking joke). have you guys even seen what games look like on the Vita? |
theacademy
02.21.12 | also considering what some people paid for the 3DS at launch, the Vita is the value of the fucking century... |

AsoTamaki
02.21.12 | Graphics are amazing. It's a lot closer to PS3 than PSP was to PS2. I'm not buying one yet though. The price isn't that unreasonable, but I just don't really care for the games released so far. |
pmmets07
02.21.12 | i never understood why companies put out consoles with such shitty launch titles. if there was a MUST HAVE game right off the bat, then everyone would fucking buy the console and game. i guess releasing it later causes some people to buy a console then anyways, but i still think it makes more sense to have good games right away. |

02.21.12 | When I was a kid and wanted a Gameboy Color for xmas, my mom took me to toys r us cuz she didn't know what to ask them for and ended up asking the person for a "playboy". Great memory. |
jdennis31
02.21.12 | ^if my kid ever asks me for a video game console i'm going to give him a playboy and tell him to forget about silly games... that'll save me a few bucks |
Trebor.
02.21.12 | i never understood why companies put out consoles with such shitty launch titles.
first of all a lot of games suck at the beginning stages of a console because game developers aren't familiar with it yet and don't know all of it's capabilities. And also most really good games take a while to make and most good game developers are already working on something when sony or whoever goes around looking for developers to make games for launch |
jdennis31
02.21.12 | have game developers even started using the ps3 to it's max capability? i remember 2 or 3 years ago they were talkin about only using 50% of the consoles capability |
theacademy
02.21.12 | pmmets youre so dumb
Uncharted is a HUGE launch title... you basically can't get any bigger. I suppose Aso isn't really interested in that (which is fine) but how can you argue that Sony isn't putting out a strong launch catalog... not to mention Fifa, Wipeout, and Lumines were all HUGE successes for the PSP, MLB The Show and LBP... Marvel vs. Capcom is also pretty popular I believe...
also, if I remember correctly, weren't you one of the dumbasses who shelled out 250 bucks for the 3DS at launch?? Yes, the same price for that piece of shit hardware just so you can play 1st party nintendo games... what an unforgivable ripoff |
theacademy
02.21.12 | "Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle was the best selling 3DS launch title, of which 119,591 copies were sold at launch."
lol what a joke |
theacademy
02.21.12 | I recently had the opportunity to look over the shoulder of a teenage boy who was playing some poor man's unauthorized version of Rockstar's hit Western, Red Dead Redemption, on an iPad.
He was struggling to get his cowboy's horse unstuck from a man-sized bullseye target it had trotted into. The boy's problem was that he couldn't get the horse to back up.
It appeared that the game's controls were malfunctioning. The game was on an iPad, so its controls were, of course, all touch-screen. There was no back-up-the-horse-butto
The boy's thumbs twiddled on the virtual sticks. The horse stayed stuck. So the boy had to restart his mission.
I watched this happen on flight from Las Vegas to New York. The boy was in an aisle seat, across and one row up from my own aisle seat. He had an iPad. Everyone had an iPad. To my left, in a sign of the machine's borderless ubiquity, there sat a man whose iPad was in Chinese. He played soccer games and virtual card games during the flight. To his left was another man who also used his iPad in Chinese. He played games on his, too.
I kept my iPad in my bag during that flight.
When you have a PlayStation Vita to play, you look at people like the boy with the badly controlling wannabe Western and you just… well, you pity them. |
theacademy
02.21.12 | If the Vita is going to be an argument for the worth of dedicated handhelds, then it is a nearly perfect argument. |

02.21.12 | Today, I was walking to my mailbox and I fell down and couldn't get up. My neighbor walked by with his dog, took one look at me struggling, said "What is wrong with kids these days, drunk at 9am" and continued on. I couldn't get up because I am still healing from a stress fracture in my hip. |

na bro got that $170 3ds |
theacademy
02.21.12 | jeez i should hope so what a terrible investment
does 3DS have anything worth playing that isn't just a port of other games? Pokemon is a given, but anything else? |

02.21.12 | I haven't finished the second |
PistolPete
02.21.12 | second golden sun? that one prolly goes down as the longest game i've ever played, it's a fucking trek but i liked how fast-paced the battles are so it moves the game along nicely. But fuck...so many hours to complete that game the first time (i've beaten it 2.5 times though :D) |

Tyrannic
02.24.12 | it probably has something to do with how fucking cheap ameratsu is and the fact that i always get him on random |
theacademy
02.24.12 | yea... also "touch" mode = basically the most satisfying method of button mashing ever |
