Fucking insane for a ios game.

jesus christ what the fuck

why not just release them on PSP? They're gonna run like shit and LOOK like shit on iOS, and I'm not gonna be able to press shit with my big ass thumbs.

I'm pretty sure iOS devices have better hardware than the PSP, and have had for a while.

ios games always look/run like shit on my iPhone 4. Some are decent, but some are just absolute ass (like The Walking Dead). And my point with the interface still stands. The game doesn't have much in the controls department, but fuck I hate using my big thumbs on a tiny ass screen. Even after owning it for more than a year, I can't type for shit.

Besides, the American neet niche audience who'd buy this kind of thing don't even own iPhones. They're usually all using android devices. Namco would've been way better off releasing these on PSN.

Why do this but not release Idolm@ster 2 in western countries?

Wish they did this for PSP/PS Vita, so I could actually play my vita after finishing P4G.

It's almost as if the game is crying for help. You can hear a faint "New Game +" coming out of it in bursts.

I've replayed the shit out of P4 back in the PS2 days so the old stuff doesn't really matter to me anymore, so I did all of the old stuff along with the new ones on my first play through the game. Even the new game + doesn't keep me at it.

I'd be happy to pay for it if it was on something that wasn't going to lag and crash every time I started it. And yet Namco wonders why they don't do too well in the West.
