3DS Members List

No but that's not the same thing. A new 360 or PSP can be resold for a lot more than 5 bucks.

[Kugyince]

I was implying that if their MSRP was suddenly changed to $5 I still wouldn't want one. I'm sure their is something in the 360 library that I would want that could chage my mind. XBLA sounds cool.

[Dudebro]

I know you'd find plenty to love about the 360 library if you were inclined to check it out. I don't spend much money online but of the games I've downloaded it's all been totally worth it. The recent Castlevania game was pretty awesome even if it was a little short.

Btw I would buy a PSP for 5 bucks. That's a system I know I'd love but never wanted to spend the money on. I hate exclusive content.

So is 300$ the estimated price for the 3ds really? If so that thing better be awesome or it's gonna piss off a lot of people. Any word if it's games will cost more or not?

[Tails]

Hell I'd get a 360 for 5 bucks, I've been thinking about it but I got a PS3 to bulk up first. (DB is smiling)

[Kugyince]

Rumor is $250 for the 3DS and the games remain $30-$35 for feature titles.

PS3 is worth about $75 to me as I don't have a BR player. Plus they have 3D Dot Game Heroes.

250$ is better but it's still kinda steep for a handheld, at least imo. I'll probably wait for a sale or some time to pass and buy it for half that. I hope they stay cool about the games being reasonably priced. That's a big selling point for me.

Nostrodamus?

Anyways thought you would.

In this age of google and wikipedia there's really no excuse to have to ask. He's very famous and I'm kinda stunned you never heard of him. You should look it up.

Nope I don't care that much. I'll defend any of the consoles because I think they're all good in their own way. I just happen to get stuck defending the 360 because people like to pick on it, or me, who knows. I don't like consoles I like the games I play on them. We should only need one like a PC.

[Tails]

Well FF didn't pick it up so I assumed it was a misspell.

I agree about the PC and should just have handhelds.

I found the story very interesting, but none of the cutscenes are over 10 minutes in
length, but they do add up to over an hour and a half in screening.

Metal Gear Solid 3 had good moments too.

Um, yes there are. After you defeat Raven in chapter 3 you are treated to many overly long and unnecessary scenes in sequence:

-Snake returning to bottom of tower back to Eva
-Liquid Ocelot's appearance and eventually toying and stabbing of Snake
-Liquid's retreat into the river, and subsequent activation of soldier's nanomachines
-Bullet's everywhere, Snake on fire, death of Eva

And THEN:
-Hard drive install of next chapter
-Mission briefing
-Mandatory MGS1 nightmare sequence

And then finally you are allowed to play the game again. All of the scenes combined total about an hour straight.
And don't tell me about cutscene skip, if the game is all about this convoluted story. And if it's your first time, you're not going to skip.

Let's not talk about the final chapter where you watch more movies and are on autopilot down a straight line to the end of the game, which is dragged out unnecessarily (OMG microwave corridor!) and really in the end comes down to two sad old men fighting over some steroids.

AND THEN the really, really long ending, which brings back too many useless plot elements and characters that never needed to come back (Zero from MGS3, Big Boss from MSX Metal Gear 2 who you killed by flamethrower-ing to death).

250 dollars for a handheld is pretty steep, but I think I will try to get it anyway. I am really looking forward for this system though I rather have the price down a bit.

I would buy a PSP for 5 bucks o.o I have one already though, but 5 bucks is too good of a deal to not take.

[samejamesbond]

I'd buy a good 5 dollar PSP even though I already have one, I could easily make 30 dollars with that.
Or it'd make a great gift.

[Kugyince]

How are you going to sell a PSP for $30 if they're retailing for $5?

Anyways, I'm sure there are some decent games for the PSP that might interest me I just can't think of a single one. There's not a single game on this list that interests me besides possibly Silent Hill: The Top 25 PSP Games of All Time - PSP Feature at IGN

[samejamesbond]

I'm sure I could sell a PSP at a pawn shop for some good cash.
Maybe not as good as I hope, but for a good price.

Tenser, try Disgaea!!!!

I highly reccomend Disgaea 2: DHD.

I think he has mentioned in the past that he hates RTS's.

[Kugyince]

Yeah, I'm no strategy fan.

[Tails]

That sucks.

[Kugyince]

If you want to point me towards something in the style of anime point me towards something corny and unique. I love off the wall crap like that. Action/adventures and jRPGS are great too.

Good example:

[Tails]

You ever try Grandia Tenser?

Was never a big Megaman Legends fan, I lost interest in Resident Evil at RE4, and you are now aware that I already stated that what has been shown so far of this MGS game has yet to interest me like the others have in the past.
Plain and simple, I am failing to see anything interesting in the library, lots of remakes and ports, a good portion of which are from games I am not a big fan of. Never got all that into Starfox 64, at least not as much as the first Starfox, you know my deal with Street Fighter. All that.

No, I am uninterested in a game of my favorite series because I have yet to see anything of it that I really want. Take into consideration this: from all the information I have, it is to be a remake/port of MGS3, a game which I enjoyed immensely, I've played through it four or five times, and I'll do it again.
The thing with the Metal Gear series is this: The guards are predictable, playing through MGS3 on the 3DS will be the same as Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes on the Gamecube. Good enough, but I've already gone through this room, I've already seen where this guard is hiding, I've already found out where the traps are, I already know the plan of attack the bosses use, I know where The End will hide, and I know where to hide from The Fury to get the best shots. I already know to wear the Raikov mask to score myself a free shot on Volgin. I already know the easiest way to find Raikov and knock him out so I can steal his clothes.
And yes, a bit of my lack of excitement towards this title is a console thing:
The PS2 had four face buttons, a D-Pad, two analog sticks and four shoulder buttons. All of these were put to good use and made for a game that had fairly fluid and natural controls. The 3DS will have four face buttons, a D-Pad, and analog nub and two shoulder buttons, in addition to a touchscreen. It stands to reason that the controls will be a bit awkward, sure the touchscreen could stand in for some buttons, but they would be positioned unnaturally in comparison to the rest of the buttons. This is my problem with the console and the game going together, not some Nintendo hate crap.

I understand that, each console caters to a slightly different portion of the market. Not everyone is going to be happy with every console.

I like how they didn't say anything interesting about Revelations.
