Haven't been paying attention to 3DS stuff so maybe this is already well known, but am disappointed to hear about backwards compatibility issues Brad had. Never been a big into handheld gaming, but have been traveling more and thought about getting something.
Since the DS seems to have good SRPGs and JRPGs, though I'd grab the 3DS to have good hardware to play the whole catalog. Might be better just to get a used DSi and sitting tight with that for a while.

EDIT: I listen to the bombast religiously but I really detest Jeff's attitude towards PC gaming sometimes. He was a complete apologist for MW2 during that whole debacle and now he's saying that people who want quicksaves on PC are living in the past and need to move on?
It's particularly grating when Brad starts to speak up mentioning that though he doesn't personally care it's an expectation on the platform but Jeff just stonewalls him.
Obviously a "state of PC gaming" discussion doesn't gel with the Bomcast's style and they're console focussed which is cool, but at least be cognisant that it's something a lot of PC gamers are passionate about.
Still love you guys ')

And it never feels like Brad wants to be there. He spends every Bombcast sighing and groaning and wanting to leave.Riposte said:

I thought everyone sounded pretty enthusiastic. Except for Brad, of course, but it would be pretty strange if he were. I also can't think of a single time I've heard Vinny not be positive.Riposte said:
How is going from quick saves to checkpoints moving forward? I don't particularly care or get angry about how Jeff feels about PC games, but I always found the "gotta move forward" argument kinda lame. Especially since its usually used when talking about taking control away from the players.AShep said:Great

I want to sit down with them all and show them how to embrace Crysis' open nature. It actually directs where you have to go exactly (big green maker on the map) but there are lots of areas you can choose to go to or not on your way.
They really underestimate how fucking amazing Crysis is. I hate the claim that Crytek games are just tech demos.

Jeff responded to people asking about his stance and quick saves and repeated what he said on the Bombcast: JUST CHECKPOINT BETTER.
Which seems like a vast oversimplification, since his Crysis 2 example in particular was because he was stealthing. If he had played that section by shooting, it might have been over far more quickly and the checkpoint at the end more sensibly placed. When playing it stealth-style, then it's totally different.
Jeff is basically asking for some super-intelligent new form of auto-saving that detects how you're trying to play a game and what your intent is and saves accordingly without accidentally saving when you're just fucking around. In a more linear FPS that'd be a lot easier than in something like Crysis, which encourages a lot of variation.
And yeah, count me in with Brad. I think their "Crytek games are just tech demos first" attitude is really selling those games short. Crysis 1 was a fantastic experience that didn't "lack focus" at all.
