That's how modern society works.

Honestly, Etrian Odyssey was one of my favorite recent JRPGs. (the first one, specifically. That too-oldschool mess with design flaws that made it seem stuck in the past and little story to speak of. I haven't played the others yet, but I plan on getting 4 on day 1) It was almost entirely gameplay, and it left so much…

I have a friend going to Rochester. I'm just plain JEALOUS.

Terraria does have more custom map awesomeness IMO, though. You can actually make entire Metroidvania games within vanilla Terraria, by having the player start the map with a new character and only playing in that custom world. If you build the environments, give the player tools and equips along the way and put the…

Looks awesome! *game added to radar*

Is it so wrong to like a game enough to cry over it? Terraria has been pretty amazing to me, the center of a lot of personal and social experiences and I always expected them to just keep laying down more updates. To see that end is a blow I never expected..

Beyond worth it.

I find it completely ludicrous that a 7" iPad screen will have a 2048 x 1536 display, and such high resolutions are rare to find even in a massive 32" PC monitor.

SNES was the first to feature some purple on it. The GBA, if you remember, sported purple loud and proud from day 1, just like the GCN.

Serious Sam would be one of my top picks for modern shooter level design. At least, 1 and 2 were pretty good. Reminiscent of older games, in that they did what they wanted with level design without having to build things around making sense as an environment. There was always cohesion in art design and generally level…

Purple.

I'm fine with them if it means DOOM can have back its old level design.

Yeah, this is great, but once he pulls out the Master Sword he'll grow up and have to find a bow. :(

*shoots a piece of metal at super high velocity*

Parodius, maybe?

Sorry if my post came off a bit too inflammatory. I didn't mean to flame so much as to give more insight, and I was matching a improperly-perceived anger level in your post.

What does a little girl know?

Pretty much that. Portables need to deliver their own experiences. PSP managed to deliver the PS2 Monster Hunter experience, with only the loss of that other analog stick. They still managed to add a lot to it and it turned out to be a better fit on the portable than on the console.

It's just that I think the Vita isn't representative of HANDHELD gaming right now, as much as it is CONSOLE gaming on a portable device. I'm not sure I want that, really. I have the console, and it does what the Vita does, only better in most cases. Why should I get the Vita when most of its best games currently…
