>Playing games in public
what went wrong?

they memed it Quentin so hard that they acually bought his crap.

Also the only ones who hates handhelds are western-only faggots.

this really

Sup Forums is populated by insecure ding dongs who constantly look for petty shit to holder over people. that and the quentin meme being taking at face value.

i dont play them for the portable aspect, i play them for the games

Who would've said a board about playing vidya would be filled with insecure people

What ever happened to Quentin anyway

>hating handhelds

WEW lad

Because most of new-Sup Forums is made up children. Patrician's still enjoy the Vita, 3DS, GBA, PSP etc

"I am comfortable with my virginity"

When mobile gaming and FB games became synonymous.

That Vita is on 3.60, right user?

micro will forever be the best handheld or maybe the go

>non-argument
>projection
Wew

>thinking anyone on Sup Forums gets laid
oh i am laffin

>he likes eating at Meat Market, he clearly must be comfortable wearing crocs"

@396504595
>someone on Sup Forums likes video games REEEEEEEEEEEE
No (you) for you

and that's bad because...?

>people giving it replies
why

Someone who likes to make baseless assumptions.

Everyone falling for this meme outs themselves as a millennial. AKA, a witless sucker deathly afraid to break from the herd.

ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

>Many people on Sup Forums actually think ANY mobile phone trash can compete with great GBC,GBA,DS,3DS,or PSP games

We truly live in a sad state of mobile gaming right now. If you eat up phone game trash then KYS. Many of us grew up on dedicated handheld gaming devices long before mobile phones came to be able to play video games and we will simply not accept them as anything more than timewasting shovelware.

>decide to play some golden sun on my gba sp
>neckbeard makes fun of me for playing vidya outside of my home

>use handheld device to play vidya while travelling somewhere as it's intended purpose
>"NO YOU ARE USING IT WRONG"

Too many NEETs that never leave the house.

no one's forcing you to use it at all zniffposterfaggot

It's because handhelds are fucking dead now.

Once 1080p/60 fps became that minimum standard for gaming. Sadly handheld games are overly ambitious and refuse to stick to 2D games where they might be able to compete. Every game is 3d now and they all run like shit. Just look at how pokemon runs at sub 30 fps. How garbage Bravely Default looks, on PC or even a normal console bravely default could look like the prerendered cut scenes. Lool at every vita port, which runs at sub native resolution and sub 30 fps.

They games are fun, but they run like garbage.

it's the only thing they have to shitpost. handheld are cheap and exploitable enough there isn't any need for console war shitposting. as opposed to PCfats and console warriors who have to constantly justify their huge expenses

>cutfag

>5 years ago this thread would have had 100 posts

Handhelds are dead, even the switch is just a portable tablet intended to be played on a big screen.

The old handheld market that grew up in the 90s are adults now and would rather play on PC or consoles, and the kids growing up now have smartphones and have no interest in handhelds.

Is that a legit PSP model? It looks like a chink clone.

Yep. Smart Phone = social device and status symbol. Doing anything outside not on your phone displays you are loser with no friends. The only thing I've seen that is still accepted is read books and even that will get you weird looks.

>reading in public
is there anything more pretentious?

Rumor has it, he got busted for having child porn on his computer

Are you retarded? It's a psp go, aka the most portable handheld. Once hacked it's the end all be all in my opinion. It's way better than the clunky vita. The 3ds comes close but I like the quality of the psp screen better. I play mainly 2d games and a high DPI screen makes all the sprites look really crisp.

>When did Sup Forums start hating handhelds?
Because Nintendo's Switch is making an absolute mockery of this board.

That's a PSP Go, If you don't have a PSP and want one then it's the best model for portability.

It was never marketed, can't blame him for not knowing it exists.

No. It's one of the most pretentious things you can do. I was reading two different translations of the tale of genji and taking notes in a cafe once and people were looking at them as if they had never seen a 1000+ page book before.

We're dealing with the people born post-2000 now so the faggotry has dramatically increased. And the fact that neogaf has been invading since E3. Couple that with the fact that the Switch is both Nintendo and a handheld, gaffers are on a crusade to make handhelds "not count" anymore.

Talking about how normies look down on handhelds, not the virgins on this board. Also, a lot of handheld purist don't think the Switch counts as a handheld seeing as it's a hybrid.

Handhelds were on the way out way before the switch. Please stop being console warriors. If you love handhelds you own them all.

There's no point in having a PSP if you have a hacked Vita, right?

It's the fact handhelds have been supplemented and slowly being replaced by mobile games on phones. Also, not much need to go outside or go over friends' houses anymore with the advent of online gaming and the death of couch co-op.


A $30-50 price increase for a higher capacity battery switch would be pretty nice. Still, I feel the intended market was for parents who want to distract their kids without giving up the TV.

Nice PSP. I have a 2000 personally. Nice collection overall. Like the dreamcast down there too.

>A $30-50 price increase for a higher capacity battery switch would be pretty nice. Still, I feel the intended market was for parents who want to distract their kids without giving up the TV.

I know 100% there will be a smaller model with a better battery, or at least a limited edition one which is why I'm waiting. X2 MIGHT push me to just buy one next month though. I'll wait for reviews. Tokyo Mirage Sessions made me buy a WiiU and well, we all know how that game turned out.

>Bubbles on Vita screen protector

>It's the fact handhelds have been supplemented and slowly being replaced by mobile games on phones
so what you're saying is, Sup Forums is secretly a bunch of casuals?

bruh you gotta clean your shit
nice collection though

>secretly a bunch of casuals
>secretly

>another non-argument

I mean, just because most of Sup Forums acts retarded doesn't mean an actual retard such as yourself will find sanctuary here. Maybe try reddit, they actually reward faggotry like yours there.

>virginity
This is the first thing that pops into your head when you see a bunch of handhelds?

I bring my psp to travel instead of my vita. Cheaper to replace and no sticks to break in my pocket.

Hacked vitas are pretty shit. I have 2, the worst part is that you can't go into sleep mode while in a game, defeating the whole point of a handheld. For some reason this causes the vita to delete all your save files for that game, on top of other technical issues. Hacked vita games crash more frequently, this is because some games really need the their updates and no one has dumped them or the update released after 3.60. Also installing games on the vita can be a pain, you need to make sure the game you are downloading was not dumped with the leaked version of vitamin because the game will crash all the fucking time. You have to buy a memory card adapter and move games into the vita is kind of a pain in the ass compared to the psp. psp games also look considerably worse on the vita because the vita is 2x resolution so it's up scaling.

PSP is easy, move the game in and play. You can overclock without problems on the psp, don't even try over clocking a vita it will crash on every game. If you are going to play psp games psp or ppsspp are the way to go. ppsspp for better visual and psp for the original feel. The second analog stick isn't worth the headaches.

Compare handheld hardware numbers last gen of 150M DS + 80M PSP to this gen's ~70M 3DS and ~14M Vitas. This gen is barely equal to the last place of last gen.
Handhelds have been dying for a while. This isn't new.

>readid
>not 'down voting' you for "virgin shaming"

Think nonpdrm fixes the sleep mode issue.

I'm not sure about that. I have no read that anywhere. I'm not about to test it.

Have you ever read The Divine Comedy? I've had a lot of success with conversations at my local Starbucks with girls about this book.

Sorry bro, go back to /lit/. I actually have my own tastes when it comes to books, and I certainly don't read to impress girls.

The same is true for consoles though as well, so what's your point?

I read it in italian class
at least the first few chapters of the inferno and exerts of the rest.
I like fantasy and 20th century and below literature, which not what majority of women are into

you sound cool

But consoles are dying as well. Gaming would be a shrinking market if not for mobile and loot boxes.

Sup Forums is a majority of casuals who try to start console war shitposting. There's still good threads when it's filled with those who actually have interest in the topic.

That said, depends on mobile games. Some actually are legitimately getting better and resembling actual games beyond the Squeenix classic FF remakes. If slide-keyboard phones made a came back, it'd be a lot more convenient to play games on there though and open the door to moving past touchscreen controls for a serious mobile gaming platform that still functions as multi-media platform that most phones aim for nowadays.

I haven't bought it yet, I'm waiting for the inevitable sales next year to keep driving Nintendo's charts up. By then they'll announce a Switch XL or Switch+ or something like that, or the year after. Plus, by then, all the good games that have come out this year will be used and be cheaper. If they ever made the eShop cross compatible between 3DS purchases and the Switch, it'd be a no brainer for me regardless.

Yeah, I agree 100% the ONLY reason I might consider buying one right now is to sit on a lower firmware + being able to play X2.

He was implying that handhelds dying was a new thing and being pushed this year especially because of Switch. It's been happening for a while.

>I might consider buying one right now is to sit on a lower firmware
you might wanna act fast, those lower firmware ones are selling out and the newer ones will be above 3.0.0

Yea I know. Probably next week.

>When did Sup Forums start hating handhelds?
They always did. Handhelds were always casual crap. If anything nu/v/ is more accepting of them.

>They always did.
i distinctly remember no they didn't

Of course. Games like SMT, Monster Hunter, Etrian Odyssey, and many more are casual crap for casuals.

No.

This, I don't play games in public because if I'm leaving the house then I'm generally expecting to not have time to play video games.

{game} with boring, gameplay grind is perfectly suitable for a handheld.

Think for a moment how fucking stupid this common statement is.

handhelds will be dead after this gen anyway

Not that guy. SMT/EO are pretty causal, hell there isn't even much to EO, at least SMT has mechanics. Hell I beat nocturne without a guide pre-internet as a retarded kid, matador is seriously overrated. Everyone is calling MonHun causal after MHW was announced. I never liked the games so I don't really care.

Best post.

Clearly they were meant to be played in the bathroom at home cause your mommy lim utes your playtime to 20 mins a day

>playing handhelds in public instead of on the couch or in the bed
casuals

?

I actually really hate the whole "it's good for portable" argument. I have never played a game on a console or PC and told myself, "you know what this need? A smaller screen, shittier graphics, less buttons and lower framerates. There are only games that are WORSE on a handheld none that at BETTER. Example, fights games are all worse on handhelds. JRPGS are always just as good as a console/pc version. In fact I've had the opposite happen to me a lot, playing Bravely Default or SSD the though suddenly comes to me "Man this game is amazing, too bad it's stuck on the fucking vita/3ds". There are soo many good games that would be great games if not for the fact that they were limited technically by the hardware.

I say this as a handheld fag.

Fuck I need to go to sleep, I typed liked retard.

But a lot of handheld games wouldn't even exist on consoles, as companies let them happen on handhelds due to the smaller budget, whereas consoles tend to get more AAA games in comparison (and some handheld games tend to get experimental as well).

Something like The World Ends With You, Ghost Trick, 999, etc wouldn't exist on consoles at their time of release.

>Games like SMT, Monster Hunter, Etrian Odyssey, and many more are casual crap for casuals.
Lurk for 2 years before you try posting again.

>Someone who travels a lot, and plays games when time allows
VS
>Someone who has the time to sit and play games anchored to a TV

Who's more likely the virgin here?

>EO
>Not casual.
Literally babbys first blobber moeshit pedo edition. Just because filthy basement dwelling weebs are the only ones who buy it does not make it a hard game.

>When did Sup Forums start hating handhelds?
When the Sony one died. Sonygaf couldn't handle the loss.

You misunderstood my post.

>He thinks he has an improved percentage of getting laid because he doesn't play handheld games
Are Sup Forumsirgins always this stupid?

>maximum idort
Absolutely patrician

I have a pile of handhelds and two well built children that were created by pumping a woman's womb full of my hot seed repeatedly over the span of several years.

>You let a fat neckbeard make fun of you
God damn user, if he made fun of you I'm afraid to see your appearance

An ugly hapa

Influx of edgy 12 year olds who want to appear mature/pretending to be what they perceive to be an adult because they're seeking approval by other anons.

None of them have read C.S. Lewis's essay "On Three Ways of Writing for Children"

"Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."

>traveling somewhere
I don't really get to travel much anymore and when I do I value my time more than playing on a tiny screen.

We grew up.

no you didn't

if you did you wouldn't be on here

When they became mainstream with the Nintendo 3ds and people expected handhelds to be synonymous with Nintendo/ kid games

playing games on the go just isnt comfy or enjoyable at all. then again, the alternative of shitposting on Sup Forums feels like a waste of time anyways.
