Stammering/overtalking Patrick is back. He was really solid on previous Bombcast but I think he was having a hard time getting his point across when there are more than 3 people in the Bombcrew.
He needs to learn that he's a gaming enthusiast, and nothing but an armchair financial analyst or marketer at best. He needs some humble pie.Zefah said:Klepek really annoys me. He seems to think that just because he loves his iOS devices that handheld gaming devices are no longer necessary.

Equus Bellator Apex said:Listening to them talk about the Vita and then realizing that most of them bought 250 dollar 3DSs made my brain hurt.
Doesn't everyone else listen to them precisely to hear their experiences and preferences? I must be crazy I guess, since I do.Zefah said:He needs a little perspective and objectivity.
Honestly, so do Ryan and Jeff. These guys can't seem to get that their experiences and preferences don't apply to everyone.

I must be crazy as well. If I just wanted straight up news coverage of this shit I would read the damn BBC's account of the conference and be done with it.elrechazao said:Doesn't everyone else listen to them precisely to hear their experiences and preferences? I must be crazy I guess, since I do.

That wasn't what they were saying. They were discussing how the name of the game of portable gaming has changed and that the price of entry for alot of the PSV games are going to be really damn steep compared to the games people are accustomed to buying on iOS and the like. That isn't to say that people won't buy PSV games, it is just a tougher market out there than when handhelds were first introduced and even a few years ago.Zefah said:I listen, because I generally like the personalities. That doesn't mean it doesn't annoy me when shit gets spewed. It's just an idiotic thing to say that the PSVita is dead on arrival on the basis of "because iOS!" (except in Japanese "because Monster Hunter").
DEO3 said:I fell asleep after the first hour of them talking about how awesome Kinect and Braid were. Did they ever get around to talking about, you know, E3?
Unproven, immeasurable speculation by people who have zero clue what they're talking about. That's the problem. I want to hear them tell me about what awesome games they've seen at E3, not what they speculate Sony's financial future will be in the short-term with the launch of the Vita.xxracerxx said:That wasn't what they were saying.

I don't know how to respond to this other than say you're putting words in my mouth, everything you're saying isn't true at all, and you've completely missed the point of my argument.elrechazao said:They talk about video games and video game systems. They're skeptical about vita based on their opinions. I'm sure you could find tons of people who are excited about it. I'm also sure based on what you and others have written that you aren't against them giving opinions, you just disagree with the opinion and/or want it to be wrong. Seems like you know what you're getting with these guys if you've listened to them ever, so wishing they'd be something they aren't is a bit silly at this point.
I don't agree with all of their guesses or speculation or opinions, I just realize that I listen to them to hear those things, and that's what they do. The whiners in this thread seem to just be mad that someone isn't gushing all over something that the whiners are themselves excited about.
Apparently you've never listened to the bombcast before today. What does "they know nothing about" mean? It's clear from your posts that it means "I disagree with your opinion, so shut up".DaBuddaDa said:I don't know how to respond to this other than say you're putting words in my mouth, everything you're saying isn't true at all, and you've completely missed the point of my argument.
Talk about games GB. Not about things you know nothing about.
Hearing Alex say he got "infected" by that enthusiastic man who presented SFxTekken made me smile.LiK said:Alex was very good on this show. Makes me miss him on the Screened podcasts. C'mon Rorie!

1. The Vita has all the same problems the PSP had
2. Well, it has better games this time though
3. Yeah, but they're all console ports
4. Actually, no they do some things different. Here are some examples
5. Well, I would rather play those games on my TV
Zefah said:6. I don't commute!
7. Who wants to watch cutscenes on a bus?

everyone but, possibly vinny, on that podcast needs some objectivity. and i'm sure vinny's is because he's not as in cahoots with the video game company people as others and he doesn't do it as a job.Zefah said:He needs a little perspective and objectivity.

It was hilarious listening to Klepek fail at trying to update his 3DS right after calling the PSVita a dead platform.
mujun said:Why though?
Totobeni said:It's just Funny they jokes about Yoshinori Ono's big pockets and that Vita is godzilla-like in size, yet they completely ignored that Ken Levine pull one out of his jeans pocket, I guess Vita is the system to hate and make jokes about now.
You're implying a lot with that post.mujun said:Guess what, some people feel that way. Guess what, it's not a personal attack on you if they do.

They say they are aiming for 8PM PST / 11PM EST every night.linko9 said:Anyone know when tonight's live stream will start?
So,Nert said:Wasn't Klepek's "dead on arrival" comment in the context of being a substantial, mainstream success in the United States? I also remember him stressing that the original PSP has sold well in the same conversation.
I also think that their obsession with updating the 3DS partially stems from Jeff's... interest... in the eShop.
Equus Bellator Apex said:So,
Dead on Arrival = Moderate success?
Hmm....
MrTroubleMaker said:Hay Patrick, please let other people talk instead of talking over them. You'll get your shot, just let them finish their thought.
thanks

If you go to any page other than the home page (click on any news story), there's a link at the top to the livestream with a countdown clock.linko9 said:Anyone know when tonight's live stream will start?
The obvious thing would be that the PSP couldn't deliver the console experience because of the tech gap, and the lack of double triggers/dual analogue. Vita is able to replicate the console experience pretty accurately.coopolon said:I think you guys must have missed the point of their Vita criticisms. They're saying, "Wait a second, I've heard all this before..." referring to how the PSP launched with a beautiful screen and the promise of being a home console in your pocket, and yet it ended up being a disappointment. So now they're seeing the exact same marketing line and wondering what's going to be different this time, especially since the mobile market has moved even farther away from the "console in your pocket" position since the first one launched.
