I should read all of that earlier, but for now I'll just ramble.
Mass-market/mainstream video game appeal is always mixed for me. Yeah, I want to see everyone "get" gaming on a grand scale, and for everyone to "get" why I get so tense during a LoL game or why some obscure pixelated character gives me crazy nostalgia fits, but at the same time I really hate that video games becoming mainstream is turning into more like "let's make absolute garbage that continues to alienate the 'hardcore' crowd!"
I don't even care about the "hardcore" crowd, but catering to everyone doesn't mean that you have to make shit. Non-gamers aren't retards who don't know what quality is. It's like people who make utter fucking garbage like the Smurfs movie, because hey, it's a kid's movie, it doesn't matter. Except it fucking DOES matter, because shit is shit.

In the same way that kids can watch good movies too, mainstream audiences can play games that aren't utter fucking trash.
By hardcore I meant the people like us who play good games constantly.
Fair enough. I actually thought you'd meant those "RATED M OR NOTHING" dumbasses. :-P
No, those people are just called dumbasses.

I had a guy at work claim he was too old for Pokemon, which was followed by CoD fan ravings. God damn, I wanted to give that guy a punch.

There seriously has to be something wrong with you if you believe you're too old for Pokemon.
It literally is one of the best game series' ever made, and nearly the best mechanical/gameplay RPG series ever made.

Yes. Yes, I called a video game a cannibal. At least, I would have if my statement were to be taken literally, and if COD was actually a creature made of flesh.

lol Miyamoto. It only just launched a few months ago and your 3DS isn't exactly bursting with games either. >_>

I see a lot of sites taking Miyamoto's quote out of context. My brother just got the Vita and I tried it out with a couple launch games and I agree with Miyamoto. It is an amazing piece of hardware but it doesn't have the software to really make it shine yet. I can't wait till the games come out that really take advantage of the hardware's full potential.

The 3DS was in the exact same situation when it launched but now I think it has a very good library of games and more on their way. Give the Vita a year and it's game library will shape up.

Your right Sora, but it's kinda messed up for him to say that this early. It literally just came out, but even so the launch was a thousand times better than the 3DS and on top of that Japan already have must have titles for Vita.

They launched the system very well and have awesome software coming just this year, it took the 3DS quite a lot to come this far. Without a doubt it will do extremely well from here on out, but they had to make a huge sacrifice right from the start. That's something Sony actually handled better. So in my opinion he doesn't have much right in making a comment like this.
