[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="SecretPolice"]Relax, me was a Sega Pioneer but teh CD wasn't a great thing tho there were a few interesting games on it.
The Boxing, Night Trap & Sewer Shark come to mind but really, the tech wasn't ready at that time.

Lunar SSS Lunar EB Dark Wizard Third World War Final Fight Samurai Showdown Shining Force Snatcher Syndicate Vay Wing Commander Earthworm Jim Eternal Champions The tech may not have been great, but systems are about games IMO. And the Sega CD had some great games. It is nowhere near the worst (not saying it was the best either though)KK, I retract a lil bit since I am a long time Sega fan. :)
But one thing I didn't mention is that bad boy had a failure rate at launch that was nothing to joke about. :?
I was just bustin' your balls anyways. I did love my sega sd though. The original model that fit underneath the sega (and looked a hell of a lot better) did have a high failure rate :( ...mine worked till I sold it thankfully. But they fixed those issues with the side by side model
It's a shame cause it is a nice piece of hardware. Doesn't really mean anything if it doesn't have the games to back it up though.

Indeed, iPad 4 is a fer better piece of hardware and has far more and better games
Soon Windows8 tablets will flood the handheld market with top AAA-AAAA games too, the reason to own a Vita is non existant
VIta has the better hardware in some ways with quad core cpu/gpu not dual core like ipad.. But I don't care how powerful they are, without a good way to use it since touch only controls are so limited.

Just because you payed $300+ for it doesn't change the fact it sucked.
It had some awesome games...3 of my all time fav's. a damn good accomplishment
A few good games didn't change the fact that it was overpriced, had atrocious loading times, non full screen FMV, no increased colour palette, not enough fully new games, ect.

It was a good idea on paper but executed poorly.
I never said it was one of the best. I just said it is nowhere near the bottom...vast difference in those 2 statements. There have been a great many far worse platforms

That's debatable actually. The CD-I was better at FMV than Sega CD was. As were Amiga CD32 and 3DO. Sega CD was just saved by a few decent ports and exclusives. But as a console addon it was disappointing to say the least.
GS has rated them below the industry average.campzor
the game review industry is full of incompetent people who are either trading high scores for the right to get to look at the game first, and I suspect money might be changing hands as well. GS is a site with credibillty. They take extra time to make their reviews to do them right. Look at Skyward Sword, which many many reviewers gave perfect scores to despite the fact that it is a deeply flawed game. Maybe GS's review is a bit low but they are the closest to the truth

They are?
I thought they were just a little above IGN in game review terms...
But then again, it's their right to express their opinions.
[QUOTE="Heil68"]I'm betting it's because MS dropped core to go 99% casual in pursuit of the Wii's pot of gold. SecretPolice
oops, me thinks you posted in the wrong thread and on top of that, with the same old stale load of bunk. :P Nope, correct thread and if you actually think about it, it makes perfect business sense. This can all be traced back to 2009 when MS decided to drop core. Look it up. Facts are facts.

GS is not perfect but there are many really awful reviewers out there that infect Metacritic and generally inflate things

A few good games is all I ever get 1st year from a new system and is usually enough for me. 3ds does load a little quicker but vita's games are bigger so its understandable. Phones load faster but more frequently which I find more annoying. VIta is everything I wanted in a portable so I think it was very well executed even if the market hasn't agreed yet.. Only disappointment to me was 3rd party but being I got ninja gaiden I'm not complaining yet.

so, to you, a system is not about the games but the actual system capabilities /...you must f*cking love the vita then

Like I could enjoy a shooter like resident evil or splinter cell on 3ds but not with dual analogs or an 8 player online match like I do in resistance while in a party chat or listening to music.
Device? That would have to go to either the controller for the Atari 5200, controller for the Atari Jaguar, the controller for the Dreamcast, or the Nintendo Joyboard. Honorable mentions to the Nintendo PowerGlove.

I agree that capabilities 'set the table' so to speak. But games are what 'makes' a system IMO. You can have all the capabilities in the world, but what does it matter if there are no games you want to play on it? He was asserting that the Sega CD was one of the worst systems ever. I said that is far from the case as it had many great games (I listed them ITT). There have been many far worse systems (even with greater capabilities) b/c their games were balls. Sega CD is not the best...but also far from worst
I would trade in my Xbox slim for a Vita so i would not have to pay full price and get a better system, but I would only have the Wii as a console if I did that, and trading in the Wii won't even cut the price in 4ths, so i wonder if there's another way to get a VITA?

And yet the Sega CD had better games than CD-I and 3DO, lol. the 3DO was filled with highly acclaimed games, and some of those highly accliamed games were ported and still highly acclaimed.
