Would it being a phone work? I was saying the Vita should've been a phone before it released. They even had a slider prototype, and that was before phones are as big as they are now. If mobile gaming 🤮🤮🤮 is 50% of the market, and Sony only seems to be going for the money makers, this seems like something they should check out. Does the steam deck have access to the Google play and the Apple store? Is this what Microsoft is doing with their mobile store and handheld?

PSP failed because the games were so easy to pirate, right? And Vita failed because they charged so much for their proprietary sd cards. What reason will kill the system this time?

Normally I would feel hopeful about the situation, because Japanese companies seem to excel when their backs are against the wall. But as far as I know, Sony is doing well by doing exactly what I don't want. I've never been less hopeful to see what they're going to do next.

@last_lap: It's crazy that I've never really played C&C. I played Generals or something on my buddies computer once, but I've always wanted to see those fmvs on Red Alert. I miss when beating a game rewarded with a cool cutscene or art, and that was the only way to see it. Or when games had silly intros, like Goro smacking the Acclaim logo, or that Turok iguana with guns.

What are your top racing games? The last one I played was the first NFS Underground.

Do you hate cinematics in general, or the neverending in-game forced ones they do now? I miss the way Blizzard (RIP) used to do it,where you would play several missions or an act, and get rewarded with a well done little mini movie. But I'm beyond sick of in-game stories that I can't escape.

If Hollywood wants to get back their mojo,they need to

1. Make better movies - Fire any writer that has blue hair or a septum ring.

2. Lower ticket prices - It's insane to pay the same or more to watch the movie once as it does to buy it.

3. Lower concessions - I know that's where they make the real money, but surely they can sell more at a lower price, instead of less at a higher price. If you're paying $30+ to watch a movie and have a coke and popcorn... something is wrong.

They really need to make the theater a destination for fun again. The need cool stuff to do, like new games, a merch shop for clothes and movie related items (Navi tails, Harry Potter wands, etc), do more cross promotional stuff, like get your Ghostbusters Proton Pack Nacho bucket at Taco Bell and get a free popcorn refill when you bring it to the theater (that might be a health code violation, but idgaf), or a mini golf place next door. I dunno, just give me an onslaught of fun, without pissing me off before I make it through the door.

@davillain: Haha, fair enough. I've noticed my eyes feel way less strained, and I have fewer headaches if I avoid looking at my phone too much. I'm honestly trying to will myself up to go back to a dumbphone. I'm sure that would do the trick 😁

I don't have one because I was disappointed with PS4, so I was hesitant. It doesn't have any games I want to play. I don't like the controller. I don't like the system. I don't like Sony anymore. They've done everything under the sun to not gain my interest. **** them.

If they're just going to turn it into the next superhero fad, then no thanks. Quit trying to chase/create trends. Instead of taking a decent idea and running it into the ground, why not spread it around to all the genres?

When you get a hankerin' for a taco, do you then you then only eat tacos for the next year? Hopefully not you psycho. You go "that was delightful, but now I want spaghetti, and then maybe some fried rice, and then a steak, and maybe some pie". We need good fantasy movies, sci-fi, drama, comedy... all of em. But more importantly, they need to be good. They could make a thousand video game movies, but if they're all directed by Uwe Boll, then who cares?

I would need to replay Asylum to see if it holds up, but I loved it at the time. It's kinda crazy to think this style of combat, and Demon's Souls came out the same year. I think both have their place.

@davillain: I don't understand why people would play on a tiny screen if a bigger screen was an option. Maybe if you're sharing the tv with the family. But even then, doesn't it seem weird to just be in the same room and not actually share the same experience?

I'm not trying to knock you, and it's not like I've never enjoyed a handheld, but if I have the option, I would always choose the bigger screen. But I've only played on a switch once. Is there latency while docked or something?
