This is what always gets me about gamerankings pointers. They like to cherrypick to make their library look better, but when you check out the data, it's like 4 good games and a lot of filler, then you click the Wii list and you got, like SMG, MP3, and Zelda on top.

What's point? Filler games are important if you want a well-rounded library.


Filler games are only important on the internet. If you don't believe me, then go buy some.


You're playing the PS2, the king of filler games, right now. Obviously, filler games are important. Without them you will be waiting years in between the AAA games.


You're being too lose with the term "filler game" I'm going back and playing the great ones I missed, lol. Like Tales of Symphonia, or Killer 7 for gamecube, or Paper Mario for N64.

 

I guess if you wanna classify them as fillers, then your right, but honestly, who is ever gonna go back and say "Man, I missed this awesome game, Major League Baseball 06: The Show" or even "Ridge Racer" and play through those "classics" again.

 

After the PS3 E3 2 years ago, "Riddddggggee Racer!" is a parody for epic fail, and an example of how to fail at hyping a game nobody cares about.

 

So many sports and sim racing games on the PSP, and I didn't even know those were genres that anyone would bother playing on a handheld.

 

It's like, when you see on TV, oooohh Madden 09 on DS! Does anyone really go "ZOMG! First day purchase." It's kinda like CoD4 in DS, lol. Who buys this crap!?

 

Filler sucks. 



I don't need your console war.

You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Also, as an equal supporter/owner of both the PSP and DS, I'll say this:

This is a great year for the PSP, but the DS has a better library overall.

There's a reason that more of my handheld time is clocked in on DS, and why a good chunk of my PSP time is dedicated to replaying classic PSX RPG's.

That could also be because a lot of the better DS games, like PoR, Advance Wars, and Phoenix Wright, are probably a lot longer than the average PSP game. I have put probably 200 hours in Advance Wars, and maybe 40 in the PW series. Nearly 20 in Zelda I'm sure, and I've probably played through NSMB, Elite Beat Agents, or Bleach: Blade of Fate more than all the others combined. There are some awesome timesinks on the DS, lol, I usually end up getting lost in one game for a month or so before I come up for air.


Than go and try MHF , and see that you can easily get 400 hours to top everithing . Im not joking , a guy on GS actually uploaded his savegame and it was 415 hours . Every armor was complete , every quest was beaten perfcetly .

 

Also , the PSP cant me compared to other sistems in game exclusives , because its a portable console , and they ususally get fever exclusives . A home console has at least 10 major exclusives/year , but a portable ususally has to survive with 3 or 4 .

 

Kingofwale has a point , most 80 + games are quality titles , and the PSP like it or not has more than the DS . Its not your taste , its the avarege gaming taste , and if a game achieves 80 % , than it is usually considered great .

 

Also , I dont know what huge DS game is actually comming this year . Except DQ9 as RoB mentioned , no other big game is comming , and again , just like MHF games , they only count in Japan . Probably later on we will see some bigger announcements for it , I dont doubt it , but untill then the only game I would be interested is Ninja Gaiden DS , but again , the controls blew me off :(

 

In the end if we want to talk aboust gaming tastes , I dont like DS games . I owned 2 , but both time I sold mine ( my DS lite was sold afther a month , because I havent played it for nearly 4 weeks , even if I had 7 games on it ) . Dont think that anyone has to have your gaming preferences . Yes there are not that many PSP games sold , but probably every game was downloaded illegaly at least 5 times more ... Im one of those whom actually likes PSP games , and yes I would rather play a mediocre port than the console version . Why ? Because its my own god damned taste , thats why !

 

And now for all PSP haters : if you cant stand that the PSP has a good year , than dont and get the hell out of here . You dont see me going on DS threads and writing that the sistem is a piece of crap . So please , let us be and dont provoce us , because then we wont provoce you .

 

Thats all and good night folks :)

You're so obnoxiously biased that it makes my head hurt. 

 



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Than get out from here , and dont return . Maybe it will be better for your head ...

@hunter_alien

These are some pretty huge DS games this year, and easily comparable with the list in the OP of this topic. You can't argue that its not, when you look at these titles side by side, you have to agree the DS list is much better, lol. They are all upcoming titles.

1. Dragonquest IX

2. The World Ends With You

3. Soma Bringer

4. Final Fantasy IV

5. Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword

6. New Castlevania(yet untitled, so not sure about 08...but likely)

7. Final Fantasy Tactics advance A2: The sealed Grimoire

8. Fire Emblem Remake(working title, hopefully xmas 08)

9. One of the "Tales of" games(of Innocence or of the Tempest, hope they get brought to US)

10. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

11. Spore.

12. FF:CC Rings of fate

13. Professor Layton: Pandora's Box

14. New Apollo Justice

15. FFXIII spinoff

16. Etrian Oddessey 2

17. DQ Remakes 1-7?(Maybe this year, unknown, already out in Japan)

 Spore : it wil be huge on PC , but I doubt the DS version .

 lol , there are more FF games comming for the DS than the PSP , and one is actually a FF4 remake .

 DQ remakes , just like FF remakes : boaring ...

 

There are some quality ones , true : Castlevania , Professor Layton , Ninja Gaiden ( though controls wise Im still not sold ) , The world ends with you .... and thats all I would be interested .

 

In the end , I would still consider the PSPs library superior ( this year ) , especially if Dissidia and KH : BBS are comming out this year ...

lol, yeah man, the list for the DS is a monster this year. :P

A PS3 fanboy like yourself would be VERY interested in Soma Bringer.

Spore was playable at GDC, and everyone liked it. :P

Tactics Advance A2, don't give up on it just cause the first tactics wasn't as good as the original. It is looking really good.

That FFXIII spinoff will come out soon after XIII, it's pretty much confirmed, so we can't discount that game completely yet either.

The DS lineup is looking sick, and there are quite a few of those titles in the OP for the PSP that are crap, lol, and you don't see me bitching about them.

Don't hate on the new Ninja Gaiden too, I think it's gonna surprise us all.

Also, I never said the PSP was crap, just that I like the DS library better, and only brought it up in response to KoW's goad that said "haha you guys were stupid for believing bad games sales means reduced software development." when for all we know, there could have been twice as many big PSP games this year if the software sold better.

Again , even if I think that the PSP library is better , I have to agree afther all is sayed . Its different , but I can also see why you like it :) So have fun this year , because I know I will ;)

@Zen:

I consider both ToS and Killer 7 filler games.

Other filler games:

Okami
Zack & Wiki
No More Heroes
Fire Emblem
Suikoden

I think you get the idea. Filler games do not suck. They just don't happen to be over hyped bullshit like Halo, Final Fantasy, Smash Brothers or Metal Gear Solid.



I am Washu-bot B, loyal servant of Final-Fan, the greatest scientific genius in the universe!


Also:

Guitar Hero: On Tour

...and don't forget about the 2 AAA games already released in 08 for the DS, lol:

Laytons: Curious Village

and

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin

Since we got Papaton in the OP, it's only fair.
