3DS.

Half the 'announced' games by Nintendo before or at launch were lies that never materialised. Then the thing dropped heavily in price quick. Support for it been poor-average and geared towards kids.

Buying a 360 was probably a waste of money too, just as I bought it is when it stopped getting exclusive games not Halo, Forza or Gears. Alan Wake, L4D and ME1 were great games to play, but hardly worth buying the console.


What 3DS announced games are you reffering to?

 

Also, you didn't like Lost Odyssey? (Since you didn't mention it...)

The xenosaga games. Bought all three for little more than the price of one new game at gamestop in a misguided xenogears driven delusion, figuring they had to be good if they stemmed in any way from that game. Holy fuck was I wrong, couldn't even force myself to slog through the first one, leaving me so disillusioned that I never even started the other two.

I recommend just watching this, skipping the second, and then playing the third.  The first is a good game outside of the terrible combat and repetitive music.  Storyline is one of the best in any JRPG.  XenoCard is amazing.  Second game is terrible and what little bit of story that matters, you'll find out in the third game anyways.  Third game has good everything.

My first Android device:

Shitty performance, shitty battery time, shitty Wi-Fi, shitty resistive touchscreen.

Well, it's good enough for some emulators (the buttons are okay), and portable video player (my other portable devices have no HDMI out).

Is that a Vita knock off from China? I've never seen it before.

Yes, and I had to drive twice to my customs office until they handed it out. The first time they wanted to confiscate it. ;)



Battlefield 4 (PC), really more frustration than fun

The Amiga CD32 console. I can't believe I traded in my Neo Geo MVS for it.
Shit games, lack of support, terrible controller and Commodore went Bankrupt soon after and that was that.
Whales Voyage was the worst game I have ever played..... ever.....

P.S. The only redeeming feature was a great little game called Diggers that is dying for a remake....



bayonetta ps3. shitty game/ost

Red Steel at Wii's launch, terrible, terrible game.



Lately, I bought Strike Vector, I was really waiting for it, played three hours, couldn't play it, kept on being shot without knowing what to do, or exploding on random walls, and so on. Straight uninstall, never to play it again.



mmmm recently, Bravery Default. I cant believe how hyped this game was X_X
