hah hah hah *pants* almost...forgot...to play chrono trigger.

this time...it'll be different.

It's better to play a multiplayer "social" game all the time, that is DESIGNED to be played all the time (ie very large amount of content, new content added semi regularly, repeated content always different because of the people you play with) than it is to rinse and repeat a 20 hour or so single player game from 1995.

You can like it and replay it alot whatever, nobody gives a shit, but you can't say you're better than wow nerds for playing their game alot when it's designed to be fun for way longer. I mean I still play suikoden 2 every other year cause I dig it and it's nostalgic but yeah read previous post

Did you really just give a sarcastic good luck with your health to the guy with cancer in his brain

yeah it rules because it's always the worst members who do this.

HEH WELL YOU HAVE A THING YOU TOLD US ABOUT :P

the ownage...argh...

also read a fucking book, don't even play.

i made of it what i wanted.

yeah it rules because it's always the worst members who do this.

I wonder why they always resort to this. This is like the fourth or fifth time now.

we need to start keeping up a list of these guys.

because it's something painful and everyone assumes therefore you are terrified of it, but I'm perfectly comfortable discussing it.

if however, someone implied something with it, like "STEELS ONLY STAFF BECAUSE...YOU KNOW" or said "MAKE LIKE STEEL AND GET A BRAIN TUMOR", it would upset me a hell of a lot more. especially the second one because there are quite a few GWs without health insurance or with weaker immune systems (when the wind blows, it breaks one of velfarre's fingers) who would not be as lucky!

I WAS NOT FUCKING SARCASTIC. What annoys me the most here is that you think I was. You think I would hit someone on his cancer just because I don't agree with him in an argument? Stop being so ignorant, I wasn't sarcastic. I genuinely hope you get through it. And yeah I know what you think "Pff some guy from the internet whos acting like an ass wishes me good luck with my health, must be sarcasm" either that or you don't care. But I do.

So long as you know that.

And yeah this was JustRob if you couldn't tell. Now you can ban me again.

why the hell would you bring this up here.

hmmm topic derail about chrono trigger. how'd your job interview go panda?

so...which one is better

psp.

DS

I have a DS and I get quite a bit of enjoyment out of it (or I do now... mwahaha).

You see, if you buy an R4 and a MicroSD card... you really are set. The DS has quite a bit of good games.

Just look here. Quite a bit of entertainment!

I can't speak for the PSP as I do not own one (though I really want one!).

To be honest there is no compromise between the PSP and the DS, mostly because people like either system because of the games. So if you do have to decide let the games be a deciding factor and whether you will like them or not, otherwise there is no point.

DS is so terribel. I think the only games I've played on it the past year are Lego Batman and Age of mythology. And probably Pokemon during the summer.
It's hard thinking of good games for it because the reliance on touchscreengimmick totally ruins games which could be good. Want a nifty FPS game? sorry but you gotta use stylus to look around, therefore creating the most uncomfortable and annoying gaming control ever.
Fuck, I think Rouge Agent is possibly the best FPS on the DS!

The DS is pretty shitty when it comes to RPGs.  I can't vouch for the PSP either because it's mostly just a dumping ground for jRPGs but a revised edition of Star Ocean 2 (you know, the only GOOD one) comes out early next year HOW YOU CAN SAY I LIKE RPGS and pass that up is beyond me.

This. They generally fall into 3 categories.
1. Final Fantasy (or Final Fantasy clone)
2. A crappy stratergy RPG that is clearly an inferior copy of Final Fantasy Tactics.
3 Or "INNOVASHUN CONTROLAN" which means you have to use the touch screen and it is done is a stupidly fucking awkward way that ruins the whole feel of the game. Actually, most DS RPGs fall into this category. You can literally play 90% of the game with the control pad/buttons, but there is always some little fucking gimmicky gameplay element that you HAVE to do and you HAVE to use the touch screen for, "touch the screen to unleash your special attack!!", or "you have to draw this with your touch screen" or the most annoying "you can use the control pad/buttons for everything in the game, except for in a fight. Enjoy having to adjust to two totally different control schemes!".

In general,  DS RPGs are not that good... Then again, the PSP has just as poor a selection of RPGs, but at least it has like... 2 decent ones (even if they are remakes of PSX games).

My advice is just get a DS emulator for your PC. They are easy to find, and work pretty well with good support for most games. What is the point in wasting money on a DS AND a flashcard when you could achieve the same results for free?

ds does pretty much have a terrible rpg library. there's a game coming out made specifically for the ds called black sigil: blade of the exhiled or something like that and it seems pretty interesting (no touch screen gimmicks!) but i wouldn't get a ds just for that (it's bound to be a really hard-to-find game and what else are you going to get anyways).

edit: if you do get a ds anyways i highly reccomend kirby: canvas curse. it is a very enjoyable but short game and actually does a really good job with the touch screen
