"Well, you answered your own question there.
Any aspect of it you think is stupid, then you're still dissing them."
Yeah, I'm still dissing them. I'm not denying that. But what I'm saying about them releasing ports finally is that they're charging too much for them. It's good that they've finally done it, but they're charging too much. And you can't tell me the inflation has been bad enough since the 80's to warrant selling a game that was 10 dollars 20 years ago for 20 dollars today, especially when the original cartridges aren't even that much now.
"Maybe, but I'm sure the PSX ports for the PSP would only come one game per UMD, when it could hold a minimum of three.... going by your logic then these PSX ports will also be ripoffs. And as for charging more than they originally did, it's because of a little thing called INFLATION."
That all depends on how much they charge for the ports, and since they're ports of PSX games(which are only 10 or 11 years old at the most), they should cost more. Think about it. A 1989 Nissan Sentra will cost a lot less than a 1995 Nissan Sentra(unless the '95 is in really really shitty condition, and the '89 isn't).
"What about if *I* don;t like Twisted Metal? Apparently ONLY this one game makes the PSP good (going by your logic), but I don't like that game, so by your logic, then I must think... no... KNOW... the PSP sucks."
That's fine. You don't have to like Twisted Metal. Just as the DS sucking is my opinion, Twisted Metal(and the PSP, for that matter) sucking is your opinion. There's nothing wrong with that. You choose what you want to do based on your opinions and personal experiences just as I have.
"So? The PSP and DS are aimed at different ends of the handheld market. The DS is market purely as a games machine, not a hand held multimedia center like the PSP is. And just because one device is more powerful than the other means jack. As log as the developers making games for them know how to harness the potential of each device correctly, some stunning games can be made no matter what the limits of the systems are. And things like FMV in games are nothing more than a gimmick really."
True... But what I'm saying is that there are more things that the PSP CAN do that the DS can't because of limited power. It has a larger potential. I wasn't referring to FMV's, just the fact that the quality of the sound and video(meaning the stuff you see, not necessarily an FMV) can be better. While audio and video quality aren't the most important things in the world, they are still a plus, and they contribute positively to the gaming experience.
"Movies aside, there was a device (or was it a homebrew app... I forget) that allowed you to play mp3s on the GBA. And I'm sure it will happen on the DS before much longer.
NOTE: I am in NO WAY a DS/Nintendo fanboy (I used to be a Sega fanboy, but there' s no point in being that now). I DO NOT own a DS, nor do I have any desire to get one right now. Nor do I have a desire to get a PSP right now, but since my love lies in emulation, once the door on PSP homebrew is busted wide open and emulators are available,m then yes, I will get a PSP then. But I am sitll not saying the PSP is better in the end.
Everyone has their own preferences on what they like and don't, and what is released for each system will sway their decision. When you look at it (and tech specs for systems really mean nothing, it's what is available for the systems) there is no one system that it better than another. It's what each individual person thinks is better, and that's what counts for them and them alone."
Just like audio and video quality, ability to play movies and music are not absolutely necessary. They are extra features, and they still have relavence in deciding which system to buy(maybe not for everybody, but they are for me). What I'm saying is that the PSP has more uses. it's more versatile. It can actually save you money down the road, even though it's more expensive initially than the DS because it serves more purposes. Once cracked, it will be able to emulate more systems than the DS, as well as ones that require too much power for the DS to emulate. People use cost as a reason for the DS to be better(not necessarily in this forum, but I have seen people mention it before). If it can't play movies, and you have to buy an accessory to make it play music, you're probably already looking at the same price as a PSP to do less than a PSP can do. Aside from that, the games suck(once again, my opinion. I don't understand why everybody gets so damn worked up about this crap. Someone started a thread asking for opinions, I gave mine, and people start bitching at me... wtf?). I don't necessarily plan on buying a PSP either... maybe in the future, once more stuff is out for it and all the kinks(i've heard about some defects) are worked out(and I have the money...), but definitely not yet. I see no reason to buy a DS. As far as I'm concerned, it's a waste of money. That's my opinion. We're all entitled to our own, so don't get pissed at me for expressing mine(not directed at you, white demon, just everybody who got pissed at me for doing so)
One last thing... perhaps if this were some kind of report written for school, I might consider putting everything into nice, neat little paragraphs. However, it's not. It's just a collection of thoughts, typed in the order in which they appeared inside my head. Putting everything into paragraphs would require me to rearrange a lot of what I've written because not all related sentences are grouped together anyway... so what's the point? That's the reason we have paragraphs... to group thoughts that are relavent to each other... If you can't read or understand what I've typed because it's not in neat paragraphs, then your reading sucks, and you need to go back to 1st grade, kindergarten, or whenever/wherever the hell you learned how to read and learn it again because you obviously didn't learn it corectly the first time.
