I LOVE my 3DS! I also refuse to let handhelds die. RERF! :3
To the bold: But...why would you play those? Ever? Pay-to-win is an inherently bad system, and what if you aren't at all interested in playing games with other people?That's your problem then. For someone who is bitching over handhelds being dead hasn't even played any of the social games, pay to win, fangames, etc. I've played games made with rpg maker that has long lasting appeal better than the current games. Especially if you think outside the box using the software to it's full advantage.
What can a phone do that a handheld can't?I don't think you understand that mobile gaming is a new thing and is popular there are some things that mobile games can do that handhelds cannot. Plus there's the social media games such as GREE that is very popular.
The popularity of JRPGs as a genre likely lies tremendously on their large focus on story. Typically from a gameplay perspective they aren't anything special. Typically, of course.Well they're video GAMES, not movies.
You want an epic storyline, go pop in a BluRay of Highlander.

To the rest: There's certainly some good RPGMaker and fangames out there. But even those games can and have been played on handheld systems before. See Corpse Party for instance.

Speaking of JRPGs, the 3DS and Vita are both swimming in them. (Shin Megami Tensei IV, Bravely Default, Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, Devil Survivor, Etrian Oddysey Untold, Persona Q.....)
Video games, like many mediums, can be used for a large number of purposes and give enjoyment to people in a variety of ways. In terms of storytelling, while it isn't used much, videogames are unique in that a story can be told through interaction with the game itself. And besides that, when playing a game, a story can often give a player a purpose and reason for playing. Why do you want to go out and kill bad guy X? The game tells you why so you have a desire to do so.
Good taste.A Blurred Line
Good taste.
I started playing that myself a while back. Pretty good, but for some reason the font in game screwed up for me and now its kind of ugly to look at. I'll have to figure out how to fix it.
I'll also have to look into those other games you mentioned.
You mean like how you called me one-sided for not wanting to play horrible mobile games like Candy Crush?
So it's okay if you do it, but not if someone else does it?

I would play more mobile games to be less "one-sided", if most of them didn't look like garbage like Candy Crush or Farmville.
