I bought a Vita to play Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, but Persona 4: The Golden made the system worthwhile for me. It's easily one of the best games I've ever played and is the entire reason why I've pre-ordered Shin Megami Tensei IV and bought a whole slew of other Atlus games.

Stephen, thanks for this interesting and more personal look at the "Console War". I, for one, am in a similar situation to you. Too many devices to game on, not enough time to play them all... which one wins?

I absolutely love the Fallout series. For me the rankings go:

Still buying a PS4 instead of an Xbox One.

The Vita does not have horrible battery life in my experience. I frequently go days and days without charging it. The standby battery life is excellent. As good a a Kindle (which I haven't charged in at least two months). Usage time is also good. I'm able to play an hour or two here and there throughout the week…

Meh. Never liked COD. Too linear for my tastes. I won't be buying an Xbox One for this game.

As I am playing Persona 3 FES right now, I was thinking the same thing.

Agreed.

I couldn't bring myself to cheat on Chie, even though Yuki and Rise made me consider it. It made Valentine's easier, but rejecting them in the first place can be hard too. I've never had a video game make me react like that before, which is probably one of the reasons I like P4 so much.

I think it depends on which ending you get in P4 The Golden. If you get just the "Good" ending, it is bittersweet (in my opinion). However, with the "true" ending and the new epilogue that comes with it, I wouldn't consider the ending bittersweet. That being said, I really didn't want the game to end. I think Persona…

What sucks about this whole discussion is where it will likely end up:

Question One: N/A. Connecting to the internet to play games should be a feature and a benefit, not a requirement (unless you purchased an online multiplayer game, then by the very nature of the game it's required).

To me, this issue is about the right to purchase and play used video games, or even borrow a video game from a friend. In a free market place I should have the right to purchase any good I want and can afford, be it new or used. I shouldn't have to pay some arbitrary additional fee to the original creator in order to…

I see your point. As someone who didn't have a PS2 and hasn't had a PS1 for a long time, the eventual (supposed) support of the older games I've purchased on PSN on PS4 seems like a good thing... but not if you own physical copies. So, yeah, in this regard it's not much different than what Microsoft announced with the…

Is it just me, or does this feel sort of like Microsoft's track record with their OSes?

If I remember correctly, I think what Sony has said is that PSN games will not be immediately available for the PS4. So, if you're like me and you've purchased a number of "classic" PS1 and PS2 games on PSN, you'll have to wait to play them on PS4. In the mean time, I'll just keep my PS3 hooked up so I can play them…

Not sold.

I haven't heard anything regarding whether the Animus or the modern day Assassins will play a part in this game. I mean, the new protagonist Edward should be an ancestor of Desmond... but *SPOILER* Desmond dies at the end of AC3... *END SPOILER* so, who relives these memories? Desmond's father? Some other relative? Or…

Ni No Kuni, without a doubt. After finding true love with Persona 4 the Golden, I opened myself up to JRPGs that I wouldn't normally pay any attention to. Ni No Kuni was one of those games. Besides the atrocious voice acting (Tidy!), the story was generic, the pacing glacial, the combat unwieldy and the boss fights an…

I've pretty much gone all out with my Persona 4 infatuation. I have a different Persona 4 background on my desktop, laptop, iPad, phone and Vita. This is the background from my desktop.
