PSP vs. DS

[nectarsis]

I actually own both theDS, and the PSP. I love both as both have many good games.  I agree the PSP does have a bunch of ports, but some of those are GREAT.  I am currently playing Disgaea on the PSP, and the new Advance Wars on the DS. The thing that bothers me is that sooooooo many people think that the DSis sooooo inovative just because of the touch screen.  Yes it is a great idea, but underutalized on many games, and just tacked on for show in a lot of others.  I buy systems for games, and both systems do have a lot of good games.

BTW..for those who feel the PSP has PS1 level graphics, you need to put some real time in with the system.  Final Fantasy Crisis Core, Disgaea, Jeanna D'Arc, Brave Story....all gourgeous.  There are MASSIVE differences in graphics between the two (not that is the end all be all).

My DS gets almost equal play time  vs. my PSP.  I love both, and as long as games I want to play come out, I buy them regardless of system

...and if you believe a word of what I just said, you're a complete tool.

I am a complete and utter tool, yet I still don't believe you.

If you can't tell the difference graphically between something like Crisis Core (like Nectarsis mentioned) and ANY 3D DS game then you're just plain retarded, end of story.  There's not even an argument there, you're just a f*cking moron.

Today I saw a used DC in a Play n Trade for $40...almost picked it up, as I've been meaning to get one. But alas, they didn't have any games I wanted for it, so I had to pass for now.

GUTS, I just enjoy pushing your buttons. You're bloody easy to get riled up.

My TG-16 and Genesis got me through that dark stage of video gaming. I didn't buy another new console after the 16-bit era until the GameCube. I would've bought a Dreamcast when they came out but they were too expensive-- I got a GC first.

Yup. I'd love to see some of these youngsters handle games like Galaga. -

Young gamer "This game sucks!"

Me Ok, well make it past level 3 and we'll talk.

I love some of the new stuff that's out there, don't get me wrong; but man it just ain't the same. But I guess people will be saying that when holodecks come out - "Man, remember when you had to use a controller? That was real gaming." - And maybe they'd be right.

Ironically, I saw a young kid (8 or so years old) attempting to play Galaga on one of those TV Games things today at one of the KB stores we service. The kid couldn't even pass the first stage; the game owned him so hard it wasn't even funny. And he tried three times...finally on the last try he was able to pass the first stage but then got immediately creamed on the second. He got pissed, dropped the controller, and left the store all mad. Classic.

My holodeck will have controllers, they will just be wireless for the first time in my life.  I'll be saying, "Hey, remember how many times you have "died" because you pulled out the controller?  Well, I've got wireless baby!"

They'll probably just blink at me too.

  haha! No way!!! 

That is just plain old funny right there. Me and my brother were just the other night chatting about video games and the new generation. We imagined kids making fun of Galaxian and Galaga, but then challenging them to even make it to stage 3. lol.

I just can't believe you actually witnessed it!!! haha

Similar acts of hilarity aren't uncommon to us. Since we visit so many KB stores a week, we get to see all kinds of fun stuff like this. You name it, and kids get owned by it. Watching them play Pac Man is always the funniest. Some stores even had Mortal Kombat TV games set up at one point, and none of those little dweebs could get past the first opponent.

The best times are always when parents come in with their kids, and their parents completely kick their kids' asses at the old games. I've even seen mothers clean house in Pac Man, doing like twelve levels straight before finally getting hit by a ghost.
