I think a whole lot of this argument has to do with money. It really keeps on coming down to that.

Funny thing is we already established that it wasn't about the money, and that it's legit to say "I can't afford it". But to say "the specs aren't good enough" or other similar excuse is the heart of the issue I think.


When I say "this argument," I meant the argument that is dragging this on.

Gotcha MDM

@S.T.A.G.E. And that's exactly what we're talking about. Acceptance due to the value offered, despite the inconveniences or the perceived/inherent inferiority of the platform.

and the answer is becasue on crappy hardware that said game from that said franchise would add nothing significance to the experience worth getting that said crappy hardware for. If your a monster hunter fan you don't need to get a 3ds becasue this game isn't going to add anything significant to the experience thus making having gone out brought said crappy hardware a complete waste of time and more importantly money


The trailer you posted already showed elements adding to the experience.

Makes me laugh...Sony fans snigger at Nintendo for being child friendly and having no hardcore games....3DS gets Monster hunter....."boo hoo" Nintendo have stolen one of our hardcore exclusives .Mind you we could always talk about hardware specs if you like ;)
I have nothing against Sony and think the PS3 is excellent, but come on.. Capcom are going where the money is, and thats with a handheld that has an 18 million user base compared compared to one that has only sold a couple of million. Im not Donald Trump or anything but even i can tell thats good business sense.

Ah, I see, so you skipped the PS2 for the Gamecube, right?


The saddest part of it all is that the Vita doesn't even have enough games to be compared to the Gamecube. The PS2 graphics or not was just an acception because of the wealth of great titles the library had. It was a major draw.


Yep, but the Vita is very young. I don't believe that it can beat the 3DS in sales at this point, but it is more than possible, that it gets some good games. It should reach at least Gamecube-levels. Gravity Rush looks very promising and if it gets more games like that I will get one.

And yes, the PS2-library is very massive.

1.  First off it is an opinion, as the 3DS is also a very powerful handheld look to RE:R vs Uncharted to see how close things are. i added a video below.

Plus the 3DS is doing them graphics while having to process and render the same image twice. And if 3DS 3D works anything like it does on the PC, that means it will be using almost around 20-40% of the systems power to output the 3D image. And the MAIN reason why its only your opinion, other then a higher res screen, the Vita can do nothing the 3DS cant also do when it comes to gameplay etc. And if it can the has been no game out so far that shows it so maybe thats why people cant see how the Vita is "Vastly Superior

2. Re-Read what you you said, and while doing so look at your self in front of a mirror.

3. Wii vs PS3 has nothing got to do with whats being talking about (Plus in terms of power the PSV advantage is not as huge as the PS3 one).

4. First things first, chances are that if Capcom did release MH4 on the Vita (Even as an exclusive), other then being in a higher res it wouldn't look much better then the 3DS version and heres why, Cost!!. Thats right, The cost of making a Monster hunter game that would be a huge improvement over the version thats coming to the 3DS in terms of graphics would be just too much for the Vitas install base, and if Capcom was going to spend that much Money making a MH game im sure they would just make it for the PS3 where the is a much bigger install base.

Also why did you pick the worse video of MH4?.

as you can see in the video the game looks much better, and im sure will look even better again after a year of polish and when its running natively on the 3DS screen.

Anyway, why you have not been banned yet is beyond me cos if i was a mod you would be long gone, as pretty much every post i have seen out of you has been trolling Nintendo. So i have reported you, and i think the other users should do the same.

Logic is going to ignorantly respond saying it's still worthless and all that jazz.  He's like a broken record, always spewing the same stuff every time.  Most of the time they are groundless.  It might just be best if people ignore him so he'll stop talking.

He already stopped talking, and was being actually okay this time. Let's stop kicking him while he's down...

I thought that the quote was from recently or something, so I thought he was still going on.

Being ok?, are you reading the same posts i did?.

Did you not realize I had a whole debate with him, in this thread? Yes, he was being okay compared to his usual self. Leave him alone now, you made a good post, now give him a break.
