One game is better than an entire library of games? The kind of shit some of you people post...


In my eyes yes, theres not a whole lot on 3DS that I really like at least until Pokemon comes out. Not saying the 3DS library is bad, far from it in fact but I'd consider P4G the best game I've ever played by a very large margin. I've never connect with a game as much as I have with the Persona games. I'm sorry my opinion is different than yours.


You should play Fire Emblem: Awakening and SMTIV. They're also pretty solid in the character department... though Fire Emblem cheats by being part medieval dating simulation.


I'm about 20 hours into Fire Emblem and it's easily the best game I've played on the 3DS but the medieval setting is why I just can't really get into it. For some reason i really hate medieval times, how they talk/act and how they dress just pisses me off lol I think thats why I like Persona so much, it's set in present day. As for SMT IV I played it for 30 minutes and got my ass kicked in the tutorial... twice, so I'm going to give it another shot some other time.

Pokemon is the reason I bought my 3DS so i'm sure my opinion will change once it's released.


Don't play any other Fire Emblem games then, because the medival setting is actually taken seriously. Awakening has the good sense to play it for laughs, and even poke fun of its own character designs. It's also quite deep below the seemingly simple surface, with emphasis on training units (Pokemon style) in the proper classes and birthing ridiculously overpowered children.

If you can find it, The World Ends With You is a pretty neat modern-day RPG. Controls might be a turn-off, but if you get hooked by the story like I did, then it's hard to put down.

And yeah, SMT is tough. I found it to be rewarding, though, and the story took some surprisingly thoughtful turns.

I keep hearing good things about TWEWY so I guess I should look into it! It's a shame about Fire Emblem because I like most of the characters and the gameplay but oh well. I'll probably read through that book that came with SMT to get me back into it since I was really excited to try a SMT game thats not Persona but getting owned like that was disheartening lol

I didn't respond to a specific quote.  I'm talking about pretty much everything you say.  Also, why compare two totally different games?  Kid Icarus: Uprising is in no way comparable to Persona 4 Golden.  I would say the only thing that really is similar between them is that they both are Japanese games.

If I had to choose specs from 3DSbrew.com copy & pasted on other websites, VS. specs from any other websites, then I would choose the latter.

And I thought Persona was mention for quality, not genre.


I'm quite sure posting that P4G picture wasn't him saying "P4G is better than anything on the 3DS, no questions asked."  I think it was more proving a point that the Vita has a great game available.


Actually that is why I posted that picture lol but only as a joke. I do however think P4G is better than the entire 3DS library combine but thats just my opinion which in the grand scheme of things, doesn't matter.

Yeah, that's why i thought the statement was stupid, because your opinion is different from mine.

Dude, what the hell? You know being positive about the Vita isn't allowed. The trolls will be storming the gates soon.

Battle!  Starto!

Lol, you always have the best anime-pics, we all love you for that. To the OP, I think the overall comparison is more or less fair, but the gme-listing and comments are strongly biased. Kupomogli should remove that, the rest is a fair opinion-article.

Atleast we can agree the "Vita has no gamez" Argument is just about DEAD? Right?

I think nobody anymore uses this argument except Vita-fans to indicate they are treated unfair by other posters. I don't see anyone in this thread using this argument.

if you think the Vita hardware is better than the 3DS, it's ok, that screen is gorgous. if you think the Vita software is better than the 3DS, you're a fucking delusional fanboy.


Your argument is invalid.

While I basically agree, that an Atlus-game wins the day, the 3DS has currently 4 Atlus-games: Shin Megami Tensei IV, SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked, SMT: Soul Hackers and Etrian Odyssey IV. All this Atlus-goodness overwhelms me....

Again... where do you get this? Please do us all a favor and learn to read, all specs above (ARM11 + PICA200) regard to the 3DS.
The PSVita has a completely different GPU-unit: the SGX543MP4+
"SGX543" ist the model, "MP4" = quadcore
  • PowerVR SGXMP variants available as single and multi-core IP 543XT, 544XT, and 554XT series
    • Performance scales 95% linearly with number of cores and clock speed
  • Available in single to 16 core variants
    • SGX543
      • (single core) 35M polygon/s @200 MHz
      • (two cores) 68M polygon/s @200 MHz
      • (four cores) 133M polygon/s @200 MHz
      • (eight cores) 266M polygon/s @200 MHz
      • (sixteen cores) 532M polygon/s @200 MHz

Mpolygon/s, NOT Mtriangle/s

Instead of posting a wall of text, and expecting everyone to read the whole thing, you could have more simply pointed the basics out earlier.

I have 2 Threads of my own that am running, as well as my own personal life as well as new Japanese video games localized to manage.

 

Next time don't make fun of people by saying crap about them base on your own baseless assumptions 24/7.

LOL "wall of text"
How old are you?  I'm sure someone who's at least graduated high school you piece of garbage bitch, would think that the amount of text there is nothing.  It's quite cut down in fact.


You completely missed the point. I have almost no free time on Sundays, I work for 11 hours on Sundays.

But you keep being a bias person claiming your assumptions of people are facts just because you say they are.

If you have an monochromatic 2D fetish and hate 3D, then just say you have a 2D fetish instead insulting complete strangers who you know nothing of their personal life.

I was on my lunch break during work for crying out loud.

But I can see that you are not a human being and that you have no soul for your fellow man who works 2 jobs 66 hours a week.

I agree with Mnementh.

And soon trolls will come to attack us after I post this, LOL.

You don't see anybody in this thread using this argument and neither do I. That was my point. A few months ago it was a different story.
