I really, really hope handhelds don't die off. Maybe one day when it is technologically feasible, the only consoles will be handhelds because most games will be streamed like PS Now and the handheld console will act like the controller while it streams the picture to your TV.

>>332037603
Butt touching your favorite Vocaloid
99% of the library is weebshit, the memory cards are ungodly expensive, no way to transfer physical PSP games, the revision has a shittier screen, 99% of PS3 games aren't compatible with Remote Play, what were supposed to be killer apps were just shittier versions of PS3 games, and Sony shot themselves in the foot when they partnered with fucking AT&T.
I like my Vita but it's not hard to see why it bombed.
>>332037814
>>332037860
This. If you really care so much about jap games then you should've got a vita in the first place. Buying a 3ds for games from jap devs is like buying a vita for sony ips.
>>332037954
Because it didn't have western shovelware that normalfags like or Nintendo games.
If there was some type of GTA on the vita normalfags would have been all over it.
>>332037860
but no localization tho. lots of cool games in japan. i really want to play that Gurren Lawyer game
>>332037669
Handhelds are too delicate for my taste. I will always be more hesitant to spam buttons like I do on Sm4sh WiiU with my old GC controller than I am on my $250 New 3DS. The same level of intensity will never be there.
That being said, handhelds are far from dead. 50 million 3DS's sold, while less than the GBA's 80 million, is still more than the current XB1 and PS4 sales combined, and there is still room to grow with an inevitable price cut by Christmas 2016. All I'm saying is it's nothing to sneeze at and we are far from the death of handhelds, though it's safe to assume that Sony is no longer a force in that market.
>>332038231

This is completely false.

Memory card prices, and it started off with no games. It has a wonderful library now, assuming you realize it caters to niches and can accept that factyou are a cancerous faggot if you can't accept this, but that doesn't change the fact that the beginning was abysmal.
Japanese sales died off massively before the western launch.
Western launch contained false advertising in what little there was
AT&T WILL BE THE EXCLUSIVE CARRIER
Nintendo 3DS dropped to compete with iPhone and people expected the same price cut from Sony
Sony put out a very limited sub $200 bundle the first black friday with a game and memory card which killed interest in a $250/$299 + Memory card + Game purchase
Nintendo Announced Pokemon and 2DS (essentially $99 from the start)
AT&T dumped all Vita stock
Sony announced PS4
Sony did a price cut and dropped features.
That was just the first year.
>>332038692
>AT&T WILL BE THE EXCLUSIVE CARRIER
Shit pissed me off. Of all the providers, they fucking pick AT&T? Are you serious?
T-Mobile, Sprint, fucking literally anyone else would have been better.

>pretty much all box stores trying to get rid of all vita merchandise and games

Fuck you Sony
>>332038896
AT&T is second to Verizon. Sprint and T-Mobile are bad for traveling.
>>332038896
The 3G was shit anyway.
I would absolutely consider a Vita if the storage weren't so fuck-off expensive and proprietary. Ideally, I wish there was a SteamOS portable that would serve a similar purpose, since I don't particularly give a shit about weeb games, or rather, the ones that show up on Vita.
Is it worth still getting one?
I held one las week in an electronics store and it felt pretty good.
What are some must haves?
Weeb games welcome.

I really like Vita, it's probably the best handheld I've ever owned, but you must be delusional if you think Sony didn't outright abandon it. It still exist because it has a small, loyal following, but Sony's not going to waste their breath trying to promote it anymore. It failed to be the success Sony was hoping for.

I don't own a smartphone so i'm not defending android or apple shit btw.
>>332036853
>failed
I mean, the 3DS would have failed too if it didn't have Pokemon, because it WAS failing.
That's the issue, it didn't have brand power to back it, that's all it needed. That and the market is changing, which is why the 3DS will not outsell the PSP, and why the 3DS' predecessor will sell even less; mobile gaming.
This is legit the only answer anyone should give you. Most people were proven to pay more for memory when needed with the PSP, and it was never an issue to get a smaller card. People here bitch because they want it all for lower prices, a 64GB for $10 because they don't want to switch games out.

fucking moron
It is literally a meme to shit on anything sony related and scream no games on this board, no matter what you say shitposters will always scream no games. They think this is what's necessary to fit in because they saw people doing it for years with the PS3.
Remember when Kevin Spacey played a Vita instead of Sony putting that budget towards 3-4 games instead for the same price?
>>332041697
But it is affordable. If you are taking out loans for something that was included with most devices or having issues getting a 16GB for more than $20, than the issue is really you. You are poor, you want an excuse. You can live off an 8GB if need be, and the PSP cards were much more extravogant in price, as are current Google Android Devices, as are Apple Devices, as are many Samsung Tablets.
Ultimately, you take issue with it because you value paying extra money for something as little as a meal over supporting your hobby which will last much longer. I can assure that you have paid money for worst things, much worst things, be it motion plus attachments, batteries, straps, amiibos.
>>332041806
in this situation its actually accurate
>>332042045
Proving my point.
>>332041395
They didn't. Are you talking about advertising? It still receives system updates, regular sales, and software support.
>>332042071
its not shitposting if its true
>>332041872
No, I just remember some model posing as a doctor and making lewd, suggestive, out of context statements.
Then she was playing a Vita.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TJ2zK4Fyy4I do it all the time.
>>332042141
You are literally shitposting because no matter what games people list out you say they dont count.
Stop trying so hard to fit in and learn to think for yourself you fucking sheep.
>>332042141
Nothing true about what you said.
Even from an objective view.
I wonder, if Nintendo dies off, will people like you die with them?
>>332041872
But the Vita's problem isn't lack of games. It's the fact that casuals literally don't know it exists. It's much too late for them to reverse that now, but if they had the initial installbase the AAA third party games would pour in, much more than they are now.

>>332042340
Are you fucking meming right now? PS3 has more than twenty exclusives with 90+ on metacritic. How blind can you be?
>>332042258
The problem is always lack of games. If it had more of the kind of games the average joe would want to play, it'd fair better regardless of price.
>>332042371
That's not a persecution complex, you retarded ape. What else would motivate someone to seek and post in this thread? If you truly didn't care, you wouldn't be posting.
>>332042503

lack of game genre diversity.

>>332042526
I was scrolling down and I saw a thread where op was asking a question so I answered it and if you can't handle criticism go back to tumblr
>>332042603

>>332042738
they'd probably be more intelligent than you
>>332042447
It's a relatively common problem with 64GB cards. Game database gets corrupted more often, and games crash randomly because of it. I believe it started happening more often with some update.
>>332036853
Aside from expensive as fuck memory, Sony shit the bed when it came to marketing outside of Japan.
At least in America, they tried to sell it on remote play and the world's worst ports. In other words playing games you already have, but worse.
Getting a Vita soon. On my list are the games:
- Persona 4 Golden
- Cyber Sleuth
- Muramasa
- Maybe Tales of Hearts, I don't know, it's hard to get into post Vesperia Tales anymore
- Maybe Yomawari if I can get it fairly cheap, I hear it's not too long.
Any other recommendations?

>>332043010
I just heard it's more common on 64GB.
>>332042831
Like any other type of memory, the cards have a chance to fail. It has little to do with the size, I've seen more people complain about the 8gb and 32gb in the past year than the 64.
Personally I've had a 64gb card for about 2 years, during which its been nearly full and I'm always juggling games. Have yet to have problems with the card as a whole but I have seen individual games (Totori and Arcana Heart 3 come to mind) that seem to be buggy.
>>332043010
So basically if you fucking around with game files that you're not supposed to do?
>>332043110
its more common the bigger your card gets
16GB is the only acceptable card choice
>>332043042
Oh yeah, the Legend of Heroes games, I haven't played any of those yet. Debating on if I want to start from the very beginning as I often do (even if it's unnecessary), or just play the Kiseki games. No one ever talks about pre-Kiseki LoH.
>>332043073
Oh yeah, people seem to like Dangan Ronpa as well, I need to look into it.

I'd probably just get the PS3 version of that, but it's been on my list of games to try. I usually favor console/PC versions simply because bigger screen, but there are some cases when the handheld versions is fine.

Not to mention, the cost of the memory cards subsidizing a portion of the cost of the handheld. Its never good when you have to screw over your fanbase with proprietary shit just to cover your costs.

P4G's alright I guess, MGS plays like shit and I haven't tried Tearaway yet and thats about all I have for the system right now

>MGS plays like shit
what
they play fine for me
1,2,3 that is, haven't played the PSP games on it, though I'd imagine they'd be just as good as the PSP in that regard

But I'd spend more money on PS+ than on the one game I actually want

>tfw MGS3 plays even worse on 3DS
Its interesting that the Vita was supposed to be a system that played console tier games, and it ended up playing the types of games you would expect to see on a handheld.
Its weird to see people complain about this.

I didn't mind MGS3D's controls, but I also didn't mind PW on PSP so I don't know.

New IP from CH, "roguelike" kind of like ZHP and Guided Fate Paradox from NIS. I pray to god the gameplay's not shit like Guided Fate Paradox or Awakened Fate Ultimatum.

>defend
Unlike Nintendo's fanboys, nobody actually tries to defend Sony's fuck ups. Instead, when people start to have negative opinions about them, at least 3-5 Sony fanboys will constantly bring up Nintendo's or Microsoft's shortcomings in hopes the subject changes to that.
Anybody try Trillion God of Destruction yet?
