Yeah, but some of us did balk at the DS' stupid design and unambitious hardware. I certainly did. But there's nothing hypocritical about saying that's been outweighed by a really strong library.Originally Posted by bbobb
I know you don't like playing portable gaming. But some of us do, so we didn't piss our money away with the DS.
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

I'm pretty sure I never balked once myself, and bought one the day it came out... same with the PSP.

word up holmes.
Its about the same thing as the metal gear games. Hideo Kojima had a bigger picture when he first started making the games, but the systems couldn't handle his vision at the time. He was even quoted as saying that Playstation MGS games were the closest to his vision and tweeked each one to match what he had dreamed of originally.
Yuji Horii thought the whole look and feel of the DQ world in DQ8 was about perfect to the living breathing fantasy world he invisioned. He had better ideas for a battle system and other stuff, but yet got try them out. Seemed he was going to take the first step with 9, but there was a huge outcry of "OMG its not DQ anymore!" and they changed it back it seems.
Finish line. Did you win? Yes.
The last time developers listened to fans we got Twilight Princess, and that sucked.
"Yuji Horii thought the whole look and feel of the DQ world in DQ8 was about perfect to the living breathing fantasy world he invisioned."
Yea but Dog$'s (Dog$'?) point is that if DQ8 was closer to the world he envisioned, why would he go from the PS2 to the DS? I'm not really knocking the DS (although I think it is too weak to be that great for these 3D games), but it isn't even close to the PS2, let alone the PS3 or even Wii. To me this is nothing but a cash-driven design decision (DS is cheap! yay!), which is rather lame coming from a developer with as much pull as he has.
master of the dark hado
It has nothing to do with the DS being cheap and has all to do with the fact that the DS has sold like gang busters in Japan and is selling 100K + every week over there. The DS is only a few million behind the PS2 in LTD sales and will most likely surpass it by the end of this year, that was the reason behind DQIX being on the DS. What ever platform has the highest installed base gets DQ, it's always been that way in Japan.
Why say it's one or the other? Seems like both is equally applicable.
Previously, handhelds were grounds for rehashing the series, not leading its continuation. One would think this is because the people behind the series wanted the new entry to be considered the best game they could possibly make at the time.
Now we get to argue about what the word best means.
Exactly.
Yes yes dog$ you hate portables. But I and a lot of other people love them (including this entire nation). And now they're finding that they can do some pretty awesome things with handhelds. So some franchises are moving their key games over to them.

Electronic cigarette.
Previously online was only on PCs. Previously lots of things. Castlevania and Megaman have been viable only on handhelds for years now.
