It's not "blasphemy", but as I said, either, you don't have a clue about video-games or you just don't like them too much. Whichever it is, it's perfectly fine, anyhow.

A good deal of the discourse in the this thread has been you being rather rude to people because they don't unequivocally agree with you, and I'm not sure what exactly the point of that is. I'm certain it's not at all called for, though. It's one thing to state an opinion and your reasons for having it in a civil manner, and it's quite another to be condescending and belittling of people simply because they don't share your views which are being presented as inarguable fact.
I mean, it's not like people here are trying to argue facts with you like what kind of processor the DS uses, it's just people saying if they're interested in the game or not and idly speculating on what it will be like. It's on a handheld, which some people like and some people don't, but there's not a one of us whose preference in the matter is 'right' or 'wrong', nor does that preference make anyone uneducated, clueless, or anything like that. In the grand scheme of life it's an utterly inconsequential discussion on a tiny corner of the internet, so why turn it into something hostile, confrontational, and extremely unwelcoming for those who want to participate?

Recap wrote:Getting excited for the next Treasure game being on a handheld instead of just the opposite is either not having a clue about video-games or not liking them too much.

Hey, Charlie, it didn't take you this long to start the name calling there at Famitsu. Afraid of the ban stick?

Greatsaintlouis wrote:Well yeah, I realize he's not all that fond of it, and I know the the majority opinion here is that handhelds are pretty meh, and I'm totally fine with that, because it's all opinions based on personal preferences, which can neither be right nor wrong.
It's just the arrogance of people taking said opinions as fact and saying things along the lines of "Oh, you like handhelds so you obviously are clueless and don't really like gaming" that really gets under my skin. I mean, I don't see any reason why stating a preference should set anyone up for ridicule and belittlement.
Recap wrote:Handheld gaming is "ridicule and belittled" by itself because it's a poor attempt to replicate the _true_ gaming experience. That's a fact, I'm afraid. You either, are missing that (= "are clueless") or still prefer portability over substance (= "don't like video-games too much").

One doesn't have to prefer portability over substance. You can have it both ways. I buy few portable games these days, but the ones I do buy are generally titles of substance. Sekaiju no Meikyuu is one of the most fulfilling RPGs of the past decade on any platform, for me. Advanced Guardian Heroes is divisive to say the least, but I found it more fulfilling and interesting than the Saturn game. And with Bangaioh Tamashii, we'll probably get to see just how substantive portable action games can get.
Edit: Silly OT question: You must say "it's a poor attempt at replicating" instead of "it's a poor attempt to replicate ", right?
You want me to explain that handheld gaming is a _substitute_ and not an alternative.
No, Recap, you are the clueless one. Anyone who has ANY interest in videogames and isn't a total mindless loser knows that the Virtual Boy is the ONLY true gaming experience. Why do you even bother playing games on a monitor when it's just a pointless quest to mimick the perfection of Virtual Boy? Anything else is just a placebo for the true depth of experience that only Virtual Boy can provide.Recap wrote:jiji wrote:What is the "true" gaming experience?

Oh. So you indeed want me to explain the obvious. You want me to explain that handheld gaming is a _substitute_ and not an alternative. You want me to explain that any of those games you mention there, like 99% of handheld games, would be a way lot better on a proper system. How boring.
And stop fooling yourself. It's "Bangai-O Spirits".

So anyways and more importantly, has any information about the title surfaced with regards to the second screen's use? This is Treasure's third DS title after two Bleach installments, correct? To what use did they put the second screen, and did they introduce any touch gimmicks there?
