I lol'd that you started this, didn't think anyone would bother, but I'm glad there's at least one sad life out there with some balls! My life needing self worth? Yet you're the one who took time out of your day to come and respond to me.
You're taking the "I laugh at people who take things seriously" posture so that you can brush them off as unimportant when the issue clearly seems quite important to you. You follow this up through your entire post with ad hominem attacks.

Action adventure: you use Zelda and Mario (which everyone likes) to compensate for the crap of the other titles. Okamiden I admit is good, but god why did bring that crappy NG game for? Legacy PS1 games aside, The GOW and MGS titles alone should bring the PSP on top with a rock slide. ARPG: Re:Coded was pathetic, Rune Factory and the World ends with you are amazing. SRPGs(I don't think you looked into this much): We have VP:Lenneth (remake of the original), Tactics advance 2 is not as good as WOTL and we have a better version of Knights in the Knightmare (in fact we have the whole trilogy, Riveria and Yggrda union).
So now you basically make this self-centered. "I don't like any of the titles, therefore the platform has no good titles." I hate seeing this rhetoric, though it's usually applied to the PSP.


If you think I'm bad, you havn't been on other gaming sites. I'm a saint compared to those "hardcore gamers"! STOP TAKING IT SERIOUSLY!
Once again, dismissive of how serious others are taking it as a defense against how serious you seem to be taking it. Also, just because there are people on the internet that are superior asshats to yourself doesn't mean you're not being an asshat. It's like kicking puppies and defending yourself by saying that you're not as bad as people who run over puppies with cars. Both people are still despicable.


We're just trolling this it wasn't meant to be a serious discussion.
If you are just trolling, take it elsewhere.

And yeah I do have alot of disposable income (courtesy of my JOB <-you guy might wanna look into that miracle too, it helps against self-poverty), but what do I use it for? Already have a car, pc, laptop, clothes, money for s**t, etc. and most things people in my year at uni don't.
Either you have an amazingly cushy job or your making some big talk. My guess is that your job gives you disposable income, but you still rely heavily on your parents. It's unlikely that at 18 you're completely independent and have managed to purchase all of the things you claim without someone else paying for the majority of your expenses. There's nothing wrong with getting help from your parents in addition to a job. It's great that you have one, but you shouldn't be quite so proud of yourself.

How that resonates to me being a bum living in a "basement" is beyond me. Mabey that's your own current living circumstances that you soo aptly described.
I see how you turned that around on him. How clever of you.




On to my own opinions.

DS vs PSP
This is an apples and oranges comparison and I personally like all types of fruits. I like both systems and both have enough games that make me glad about their purchase. Whether or not one is better is pretty subjective. Some people will like games only on one or the other. Some will purchase one and find the need to defend that purchase by putting down the other. Then some people will just enjoy playing games and not care what platform it is on and not try to prove one better than the other at the end of the day.


Hardcore vs Casual
This is such a silly argument to get into. Despite nirojan's entreaty that ""hardcore" is NOT a matter of opinion", in fact, it's just that. There are no games that are more harcore than others. What makes someone hardcore is a blurry line defined different by individuals. Someone will say you're not hardcore if you don't play only on the hardest difficulty. Someone will say you're not hardcore if you've ever enjoyed a Wii game.

I just want to play games and have fun. I play a great variety of games. To many standards I would be considered hardcore and to others I wouldn't be. I don't care.

If you care about defining yourself as a hardcore gamer, then you have a problem. You're just another pathetic scene freak who needs to identify with a niche in society through clothing, music or... games. Sure, you might be financially well off. You might make good grades. You might not live in mom's basement, but if all of your self-worth comes from how hardcore of a gamer you are and how much you can belittle those who aren't.... you have a problem.
