if you're already gonna translate it why would you not release it in america, do you hate money nintendo? and other companies that have done this poo poo before. shenmue 2, i'm looking at you.
The point that the guy made is that those games don't make money, even something like Xenoblade which was a very well reviewed game that theoretically should have had a fair amount of Western appeal (or at least not be a total non-starter like a lot of the Japan-only games are). The parent companies are usually pretty good at determining what's going to sell, at least of the things that have already been released in one territory. Devil's Third is going to move like 5 copies in the US.

I care about the pc release of devil's third so I can shotgun and katana a guy while carrying a chicken and/or watermelon. Also because it's presumed to be free (this part is important).

The thought of buying a no-appeal multiplayer game on the wii u is exceptionally funny to me.

Yeah the multiplayer is guaranteed DOA in the US. I'm glad it's getting a PC release because that kind of game is extremely my poo poo.

its a vita with no screen, camera, or touch capability and a pack in ds3

it plays a limited whitelist of vita, psp, and ps1 games and allows for streaming games from a ps4 to the pstv via remote play. I think they're giving it psnow streaming games too but idk for sure

it does not play ps2 games. it is a crippled vita designed to ride the tv accessory wave as an also ran while getting rid of lots of vita parts nobody wanted.

:confused:

It's a post on medium, not an article on a website trying to drive clickthrough traffic for ads. It's the equivalent of someone posting something on their personal blog to advance their own (very dumb) personal agenda, but it's not clickbait.

I know everyone is new to the internet at some point or another, but please, put a little more effort into thinking about things for a minute before mashing the post button. :justpost:

Well a used PS3 isn't anywhere as cheap as the bargain basement and dropping prices the failure that is the Vita TV is going for, but it will play more of the games you want, including all PS1 games (no bloody whitelist).

As others have mentioned, the Vita TV *could* have been for the price, but Sony apparently wants it to fail.

Yeah I gave heroes of the Storm a shot since they are giving out rewards for diablo 3. I got to level 3 before I said gently caress this because people stood around arguing and throwing tantrums(and we were fighting against the computer AI).

counter strike is good. too twitchy and execution-based to have a huge e-'sport' infrastructure/scene though, it's too hard to play for nerds who just want to spend hundreds of hours memorizing patterns and strategy

if you don't play with strangers you'd have to play with people you know, and that would involve revealing that you play MOBAs in public, so better idea: don't play MOBAs at all

There was a year or two where PC would get interesting indie games you couldn't find anywhere else, but now those are all timed console exclusives anyway, and there is no reason to have a PC over a console unless you really like DOTA and League.
