Well yeah. My point is that I don't remember any of the articles being in the context of "they are waiting for the vita". There were a lot about how mobile and tablets has killed handheld gaming. And while handheld gaming isn't dead, this is looking to be the worse selling nintendo handheld in probably over ten years.…

Oh so do I, but they weren't in the context of "The vita will destroy it!" or "people are just waiting for the vita". They were about handheld gaming dying. Like really we would get a new article every week about the death of handheld gaming. It's only after it starting taking off that the articles calmed down.

I think the 2ds is a great concept and a very nintendo redesign, and the 3ds xl feels great, but jesus christ the first 3ds was literally the worst handheld I've ever held. It's pretty awful. The ads was very poorly conceived to begin with, but the original 3ds felt terrible to hold and use.

Yeah that wasn't actually the case. Some likely said that, but what you're probably experiencing confirmation bias. Hype for the 3ds before release was very high. Hype for the vita was pretty good too because of all the games sony was showing off. They had an article here for the vita about "ignored excellence". And…

Clamshell vita, got it. With better speakers anyway.

It broke so I just grabbed a plain phone and activated it. The UI on mine was pretty great and I miss how easy it was to use, but i don't really miss the multimedia functions that much. It helps that I use my vita for music though.

When I had a smartphone Triple town was the only game I played regularly. I'm really glad these guys got the opportunity to make a game for consoles. Congrats, best of luck to them, and I can't wait to play it on vita!

That's really the only audience. People who don't have access to other devices. Unless the particular kid or casual gamer has heard a lot about bioshock from other people, I can't help but wonder what on earth would attract them to this game. I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't bring in that many new fans.

I doubt anyone will see this but please people stop posting that terrible extra credits video about why the vita failed. It's straight up wrong. There is no universe where the vita was gonna get lots of exclusives from western devs, even the 3ds doesn't get that.

That video is way off base and incredibly wrong. Please don't post it anymore. His reasons are complete nonsense, and he ignores that of the games he shows to express how many games the 3ds has, 10 are nintendo and the other 5 are japanese. The vita was never getting nintendo games but you know what would have secured…

I know that iOS's userbase is huge, and that sony haven't made any serious attempts to reach a casual audience with the vita, and have done all they can to alienate them and make them feel like the playstation brand isn't for them, but this is still disappointing.

The thing is, and I don't mean this to sound harsh because good mobile games exist even if they'd be better on dedicated consoles, mobile appeals to kids and casual gamers, audiences that by definition don't really have enough experience to know better. If you've spent a lot of time playing different kinds of games,…

Not a good ad(not bad just not particularly good from my perspective)but glad they're advertising it somewhere. Also glad they're showing freedom wars and Oreshika 2.

No he said it was on their feature list. Which means it was on the list of things they planned to include, but it, likely along with some other things, got cut so they could put their focus on other aspects of the game.

When did they say she was another of Thor's human incarnations? Because if so, it wouldn't be Thor that's walking around unworthy, it'd be donald blake. They said it's a woman in Thor's life who picked up the hammer.

Yeah she doesn't get her own name? She has to be Thor as soon as she gets the hammer? She can't be a cool new character with a spot on a team? Weird.

No, not upset at all. And once again not saying an explanation could not exist, that's not my point. Like I said, human creativity knows no bounds there is an infinite number of explanations as to why she would be called Thor. I'm just saying that right now, with the information given, and with her supposedly being an…

They tend to change titles like Falcon becoming Captain America or Miles becoming Spider-Man. I'd be really surprised if Falcon started calling himself steve rogers. I know thor's name is different enough to not seem like a name, and they refer to him as that instead of the god of thunder, but it's a little weird and…
