So does the Vita... :\

That's not what I heard...

Well, you heard wrong. It has a 5-inch OLED multi-touch pressure-sensitive touchscreen alongside a multi-touch pressure sensitive back touch panel.

You're on the internet, so I'm not sure why you didn't spend the .39th of a second to find out if Vita had a touch screen. Or heck, you could've watched the trailer I posted for Gravity Rush which mentioned the front touch controls alongside the back panel, and the gyro...

From a hardware stand point the only thing 3DS does that Vita can't do better is 3D for the fact that it lacks a 3D screen. Though, that would've been a trade-off for a higher price and lower battery life, which I don't feel 3D is worth.

He most likely meant a touch screen that you can see because he said a "At least the 3DS has its touchscreen ON THE FRONT..."
stop bashing the Wii U because it's different and NEW, remember the Wii and how sony copyed it with the PSP Move and then people said the Move was awesome

I personally think Halo Reach takes a LOT of skill. In MW3 I can get 30 kills domination easy. All you have to do is equip Type-95 or P90 Rapid Fire, Dual FMG's, with the perks Hard Line Pro, Quick Draw Pro, and Steady Aim Pro with the specialist package of Assasin Pro, Scavenger Pro, and Sitrep Pro. In MW3 we all can kill enemies in what, 1 1/2 seconds? In Halo Reach you have to pop the shields and then go for the kills. The shields alone have 2/3 more stamina than an MW3 character and the actual body has as much health as a normal MW3 character. Also there is so much more variety, maps, and creativeness. In Halo there is no instant melee kill, campers, boosters or OP guns like Dual FMG's. Well that is unless you count power weapons, but you don't spawn with power weapons because they are free for anyone to get and take 30 seconds to spawn which IMO the weapon spawn system is genius, but that's just me. Oh yeah I agree BF3 requires more skill than MW3 also. I'm recruiting for a Halo Reach clan if anyone's interested.
I agree with everything you say. No matter how many fanboys post saying Im stupid I am going to say it anyway. Halo: Reach is better than MW3. Besides the fact that the campaign is a lot better, Splitscreen and forge make the game 20x better. Halo actually takes SKILL to play unlike COD which only requires 2 bullets to kill some one.
Jan. 05, 2012  6:44 AM
 
I agree. Splitscreen and forge are really fun in Halo Reach. I've played MW3, and it was to... easy.
Jan. 05, 2012  6:50 AM
 
You guys know that MW3 can do split screen online? Assuming you're not using some funk definition for split screen. I don't know what that other mode is though.

About the difficulty thing...that's a really carp reason for you to be against a game. So what if it's easier, is it fun? I certainly enjoy running around like an idiot with my PP90.

I don't even know why, but I'm liking it a lot.

That is true, but as you can read, Im the kind of gamer that likes a challenge. I beat COD's campaign on veteran in 2 days. Im still working on Halo's campaign on Legendary. I meant you can fit FOUR people on Xbox live in multiplayer on one screen.

Forge is a mode where you enter any map with a friend or two. You can build the level almost from the ground up, like put weapons anywhere you want. Its the most creative idea Ive seen in a long time that still has me playing. I normally have a forge war where my brother and I each have 5 mins. to build a bunker and arm it with every weapon in the game, and then we just kill each other for hours XD

Yeah I never like CoD campaigns. I only ever played MW2's.

PS3 for the graphics XBL for the community. On PS3 it's very difficult to find a clan in a matchmaking lobby on any game. On XBL I've been in multiple from people I've talked to in game and lobby. For graphics, PS3 runs Blu-Ray disks Xbox runs dual layered.

There have been many opportunities for me to buy a PS3, but the entire library of games available for it so far still does not contain enough motivation for me to get one - Sony simply seems to pander to very few exclusive-release franchises that I care about. Uncertain

Hazel, there needs to be an octopus shrine for you. You have spoken the truth! Confused

But on a more serious note, I'm going to get a 3DS rather than a PS3, it never caught my attention, especially with their stupid over-violent games.

Yes super violent games like LittleBigPlanet 2, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, and Gran Turismo 5.

What game you gonna get? Has Sonic Generations caught your eye? XD

Er not really. Most of the games are probably not over violent. Most people really wouldn't care anyway. Also if you don't like violent games then of course you'd chose the 3DS since it's basically a kid's console whereas anyone who likes games that most people play would get a PS3.

I take objection to this.
How is running round, killing anything that moves more mature than a game like OoT where one has to think, talk to people and generally be observant? Surely just wanting to mindlessly massacre is about as childish as one can get?

The thing is, you decided you're going to buy a 3DS because it has less violent games than a PS3. The PS3's lineup, as you admit, doesn't entirely consist of violent games. But there's a difference between the PS3, and 3DS. One has been out since 2006 and has amassed a decent library of titles in all genres. The other has been out for less than a year and has a very weak library. It just didn't make sense to me that you'd not want to buy a platform simply because it has violent games on it. That doesn't mean you have to play them. Do you not go outside because there are violent people out there?

Unless you only like Nintendo made games, handhelds in general, or own a 360/PC there isn't really a reason to go get a 3DS over a PS3.

Violent games didn't exist until the 2000's.

Technology made it so depicting violence realistically was difficult, but that has since become moot.

I didn't acquire 3D vision until I was twelve and gained it through watching a variety of 3D movies. Even now, my depth vision is rather sub-par so I bought a 3DS for the long term visual benefits it will likely give me.
