Sun Declares 3DS is "Game For a Barf"

[TimeLord]

-snip-

I hope you are aware that the Sun is known all across the UK as the biggest joke newspaper ever printed. The only reason anyone even reads the Sun is because Page 3 always has naked women on it.

OT: I played my 3DS for an hour or so playing Street Fighter and I got nothing more than a bit hungry.
As said previously, I'm pretty sure there was more health and safety leaflets than actual instructions in the box with my 3DS.

Even if this was in some way creditable and true. The Sun is basically trying to ruin a new innovation and every ones fun with it.

Since when was the Sun a reliable news source? =S Its just slander in there anyways

I think it was nailed a few decades ago by this little clip.

Can you please stop reporting on what the British newspapers are saying? It makes me embarrassing about being the same species as them.

Dont be a dick, the Sun's nothing compared to the rubbish Fox vomits out. And no I'm not British either.

Actually Rubert Murdoch owns them both, so they're pretty much equal.

Fair enough, but at least the Sun doesnt have it's own television channel.

Umm... How the hell did you deduce that from my statement? I just said, without killer apps what's the point? Meaning, without MUST HAVE games for it, what's the point of owning a system? But according to you, if the system doesn't have the games I want, then I don't want games? How does that make sense?

Yes, portable Ocarina of Time, and Portable StarFox 64 sound awesome.
But first of all, neither is out yet. Second, they're still slightly better looking remakes. And even if having them portable is nice, is it worth $200+? Hell no.

You didn't even mention Street Fighter, which makes me think you just bought it because there's nothing better on the system right now. (Which is understandable, it only came out recently.) But if anything, YOU'RE the one who wants a 'smart phone', because you went ahead and bought your 3DS way before any game that you're really looking forward to even came out on it. Meaning you bought the system just for the sake of owning this system.

What I'm saying is that you're calling the system utterly worthless, based on the fact that you don't need the 3D. You're not saying "because the games suck", you're saying "because the 3D sucks". That'd be as obtuse as me saying that I didn't buy a PS3 because the improved graphics aren't necessary to gaming.

As to the second part of your statement, you need understand one thing:

I don't have a 3DS yet.

Your bold step forward is that my distaste for your argument stems from me having bought it. I didn't like the release titles, so I didn't buy it. But I plan to. It has a pretty solid release list for the summer, which is when I plan to buy.

Which basically makes your entire second slam of my intellect utterly moot. Unlike you, I'm not buying systems based on the system; I buy them based on the games. I didn't buy a 360 until a year ago, for example, because I just didn't feel compelled enough to get it until it had a large enough library of things I liked. Everyone and their grandmother wheezed praise about the 360, but that wasn't enough for me to buy one. Right now, your entire argument had been that the 3D of the 3DS is the only reason to own a 3DS. For me, there's a few reasons to own it: I never bought a DS but want the games, 3DS is backwards compatible. I like the releases that will be coming out later. The 3D isn't the draw for me (although the augmented reality is). For me, the $200+ is justified because I know that upon purchasing it, I'll have a pool of desired games that is probably triple that of the games that I own on the 360.

Your points don't fit, and ergo, I disagree.

No thanks, I still want one. Thanks for trying to discourage me with lies though.

[sub]I don't even read the Sun... Now I don't want to.[/sub]

Well done sir.

 

[CharrHearted]

Who believes the ons anymore? When the headlines were all over Liberia what was there front page? JORDAN! X_X

 

[timeadept]

The last part of the test was done in a moving vehicle? Well there's your problem! Yeah thous changes in blood pressure seemed a bit freaky until i read that. Honestly i can't read in the car either or i end up feeling exactly like that. But that's just me... one person... as many people as took their test...

 

[garjian]

honestly, i dont see it going too far.

the DS itself added elements which directly effect and add to gameplay value. 3D is superficial.

I've done a four hour Street Fighter run. No problems whatsoever with my eyes. Not even a twitch. The Sun is known for simply making stuff up, though, so this doesn't surprise me.

 

[comadorcrack]

And I declare that The Sun is retarded.

I second this motion. All in favour?

Eye!

So the sun said... exactly what Nintendo said... and called it news... really... great jounalism there Sun. You... you make this nation proud...

 

[Tim Latshaw]

Did he also play Grand Theft Rothbury [http://www.stinkyjournalism.org/editordetail.php?id=821]?

Stay fair and balanced, UK rags.

I expect it's probably just the crazy people trying to find a new way to say "oh games are bad and wrong and should not exist". This happens so often in this sort of newspaper. Some papers reach a point where only a small percentage of what they print is actually news, and even that's rarely accurate. The Sun, The Daily Mail, it's mostly just rubbish where idiots vent about things they don't understand.

I really don't know why they're all against video games though. The reason still eludes me there.

 

[Jaser]

It's the Sun.
That is all.

 

[The Random One]

It speaks wonders of how well games are received in England that the anti-gaming media is not shouting that games will turn children into rapists but rather that they will make then like soooo dizzy.

Also, it's the Sun.

I foresee either people actually taking the recommended breaks from playing 3DS or people adapting to long hours with it, developing horrible eyesight as a result.

...Ah well. Long hours on the computer and what not should have ruined our eyesight anyway...

 

[The Wykydtron]

Wait so people still take The Sun seriously? Rather than treating them like the hilarious Trolls they are?
