I asked why someone should buy one of these things instead of using what you already have, and every reason given was poorly thought out and was unable to explain or justify the purchase.

Seems like the target audience are idiots with spare cash, who are impressed by glowing analogue sticks and poor functionality.

Maybe, but his parents definitely are.

The predecessor weighs more than a PS4 controller, costs more than a controller, doesn’t stay charged as long as either a phone or a controller, has a low resolution screen, less storage and it cannot run as many games/emulators as a modern phone.

But yes its money well spent and you dont have to carry about a controller which weighs around half of your hand hold… What a deal!

I’ll keep playing games for free with better graphics and a bigger library.

His parents really understood that your name defines who you are

Some of us like to put our phones away or turn them off entirely during our leisure.

So you need to spend $99 on a hand hold because you dont like your phone? If it’s the notifications you hate put your device on aeroplane mode instead; just saved you some money.

Also, I don’t want touch screen controls when playing ps1 games.

What is wrong with connecting a PS4/5 controller?

External Bluetooth controllers are always a pain.

In what way? I use them and it works just fine. Plus, I already had one so it cost me nothing to use it with my phone.

those clip-on ones are always awful.

Again, how? The ones I have seen used work perfectly fine, plus there is a large number of devices to choose from; I am sure they aren’t all awful.

Plus it’s splitting the battery life between two devices, nothing bugs me more than using my phone for everything only to be shocked that the battery dies twice a day.

Most people carry a charger or battery pack with them anyways so that is not a problem. Besides aren’t you already powering two devices when you carry this thing around with you… I’m gonna guess you have Bluetooth headphones too, so that’s 3 devices now.

Yeah. So, I Bluetooth a console controller which works perfectly fine and is cheaper. But you can also buy attachments for your phone that turns into a controller if you really want.

Am I missing something, I don’t see why are these hand helds becoming so popular?

I’m running a PS2 emulator on my phone and playing God of War 2 with upscaling and anti-aliasing; why would you spend money on something a phone can do for free?

Square just reported an underwhelming quarter, so I am not gonna be surprised if they announce a remaster/re-release of an old classic to milk their fan base.

Nothing wrong with that of course, but I get the impression it will be a cheap and rushed remaster, with simple upscaling and maybe some built in cheats; $40 please! ($60 with the pre-order bonuses).

That all said, if it does turn into a complete remake I am sure they will turn the story into a convoluted mess with alternate dimensions and time travel.

Well the internet is for porn!

Cats are just tiny tigers that live in your house

Watch as they still milk them to death.

They cannot improve these games, give them meaningful updates or expansions. But they have killed many of their competitors and further monopolised the industry.

The second Microsoft gains a market majority in the gaming industry they will employ as many scummy tactics as possible to wring every cent out of people.

I hear it’s amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!

Very few third-party games remain exclusive to one platform forever.

Yes. But when they stay exclusive it’s the worst.

Still waiting for Bloodborne to be available on PC; most likely will be waiting until I can emulate it.

The company said it wants to be “more selective and focused in the allocation of development resources”, and as a result of the “close examination”

Hate company gibberish like this. We plan to spend money differently… Somehow, but were planning!

Additionally Square needs to stop releasing games exclusively to a single platform, no wonder Rebirth sales haven’t been released as many (including myself) are waiting for the PC release.

Mainly waiting for PC release so I can use mods to shut Chadley up, and turn off all the anime grunting.

Pay Samsung money to monitor your BMI, food intake, calories and dietary requirements; What an offer!

Fuck it, next year get the galaxy dildo, only $499.00 or $699.00 for the Ultra version.

Baby toss now has a chance to crit.

Yeet your baby to really build those relationship points!
