3DS being supported for the specs is a bad reason.

LOL! The 3DS will still be the weakest platform in it's generation. Ain't no one gonna choose it for its specs.

You're right about those stupid devs though. How dare they want more freedom!(1) How dare they not want to have to deal with hardware limitations!(2) *rollseyes*

1. Calling the specs freedom? You think specs are the only thing limiting a game? Are you seriously thinking that budget doesn't also constrain development?

Or that just shows you also think throwing money at a game is just a trivial matter, which is also what my points include.

2. Do you even realize that means every system in existence will have limitations? Only a system with infinite specs cannot have limitations.

Plus you're falling for the fallacy of limitations being the same thing as stifling creativity. You obviously never heard of all the great artists who say constrants actually equal better quality, as it gives them quidelines to work, and allows them to be more creative by seeing how well they can work within those boundries.

You, like many game developers, are falling for the notion that more specs means more freedom and creativity.

A modern example of why this is not so is Jaws. If they had the shark model working all the time, it would have been a cheesy monster movie instead of the triumph of suspense it was.

Or Star Wars. Lucas couldn't make the films he wanted, but the films he was forced to make are still hailed as some of the best ever, with the special editions, and especially the prequels, being vastly inferior.

Then there is gaming itself. Sales of games have not increased to match the increases in budgets, development times, and graphics. And those sales are from the people that were here the last few generations, so it's not that they don't get these games. They seriously don't think the games being made now are not that much better than the games made a generation or so ago, or the games would have sold better.

Thus the freedom for better graphics does not make better games (not counting reviews, as they are part of the vocal minority).

I honestly don't know what you're ranting about.

Oh noez, you'll have to sit through pretty games! Poor you. At any rate it's better than getting rail shooters and shitty spin offs of spin offs *Crystal Bearers waves*

Like it or not:

MGS3 on the DS = ew
MGS3 on the 3DS = yes please!

The majority will agree.
