[quote name='Rabid Mammal Wax']Hey, guys, you're calling me a an idiot, basing my opinions on little or now information.
Let me repeat something:
I mentioned I played his DS EXTENSIVELY. I mentioned Metroid Prime because it was hyped. It wasn't meant as a review, I was just saying that I felt the system is gimmicky.
I don't see what's to like about it, the second screen seems completely superfluous. If you disagree, and like playing it, all the more power to you, but if your judging my character based on my opinion, then you're a jackass.
I'm referring to you, people whose screen name rhyme with:
Brunt20xv
bizmogc
Bnake2715
I'm not buying a PSP either, not for a long time anyway, however, I feel that Sony has the right idea about videogames. They can't innovate completely, so they don't bother. Sony has never claimed to be the bastion of innovation--yet they've brought us that camera thing, one of the first backwards compatible consoles, and one of the greatest gaming libraries ever, including such innovative gems as ICO. Nintendo, who touts to be the great inovator of the industry, brings us taiko-drum master ripoff (granted it's fun), and the ability to connect our GBA to our GCN....yay. I own a GBA, I own a GCN, and I play them, they're great. But they're by no means innovative, and neither is the DS.
Playing with a stylus sucks, and let me reemphasize this is MY opinion, games like Mario 64 have turned to crap, WarioWare is still fun, but the system has little else to offer. All of you keep saying, "Look at the PSP, nothing but ports!" And the DS is coming out with Mario 64, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, etc. The PSP has, what? GT4, which was a simultaneous release with GT4 PS2 in Japan (calling it a port is a stretch) and a revised version of MediEvil is coming out...eventually.
I think, again, in my opinion, all of you calling me an idiot for not liking the DS are just trying to reassure yourself that that $150 went to the right place.[/quote]
You know that cameras, backwards compatibilty and other "innovative" things were all done by Nintendo before sony. The thing is, it's not the opinion that is the probelm, more power to you for having your own. The problem was how nonsensically you stated it. Why don't you like it. It sucks is not an acceptibale. Make your points clear, concise, and most importantly thoughtful. Other CAGers will respond in a much better fashion if you do.
