@lexph3re, everything what you described is the reason why Sony was behind Nintendo in handheld space.
Honestly, system need it's own games. It does not matter unique they are or not, but there must be good games. Games sell hardware, not ports.
Selling my Vita...

@monkeygourmet. yes journey would´ve been nice on the vita too, definiteley.
i played some halo today. i love halo....but got bored by it. haven´t played for quite some time and got pwnd pretty bad. then thought about buying journey which i wanted since it came out...played through it in one sitting and it was really stunning. i was sceptical. it was much better than i thought it would be. some said it´s too expensive for the length but i don´t regret the purchase at all- was a great journey and well worth the ticket. will play through it again soon and i can really see my girlfriend playing through this too. they created a great atmosphere. very emotional game, just because of the art- and sounddesign. thatgamecompany really did a great job and deserve all the praise. i hope for more stuff like this. videogames as a medium need more diversity.
reason why i mentioned halo: as soon as i finihed journey i said to myself that you gotta thank ms for bringing halo to the xbox but sony really delivers the extraordinary stuff in gaming.Posted 1 week ago # -
Journey was fantastic, but then it's beautifully countered with Trials Evolution and Fez.
Fez in particular has my girlfriends interest right now. I love journey and all these games to be honest. DL indyish games are getting so much more fun imo.
Next game I have paid for is Dragons Dogma on 360. I've heard a few scare stories from Kotaku but the demo really mashed me Potatos! :)
After that, who knows?
My vita money has already been spent on an a Acer Revo XBMC PC, arriving 2moro, can't wait to set that up! ;)

Buying at launch is rarely a sensible move. Far better to buy it a couple of years in for far less... with a shitload more (insanely cheap) games.
One advantage of being an old bastard with fuck all time (and a massive backlog) I guess. :)

I don't know if you are playing the same nintendo handhelds as I have. But, almost all of DS's heavy hitters were ports. Even now in 3ds, there really isn't anything that is wowing about the 3DS catalog right now. I have both Vita and 3DS and I feel 3DS is the worst investment I have made to date.
If it were'nt for my wife enjoying it I wouldn't even remember I owned one. And all she plays is sprung and well that's it. I bought her mario kart 7, sims 3, farm frenzy and cooking mama 3. Very diverse selection but she only touches 1 game.
For me I bought chrono trigger and still have no ambition to touch it. All I've done is play/use my Vita. Netflix/Skype/gaming and more. I honestly don't see anything wrong with the uses of the vita right now. in games and in versatility.

I honestly can't see any reason to buy a vita at the moment. But when Persona 4 Golden comes out west I'll be the first in line throwing my money at the shops till my thirst is sated.

@lexph3re, go see the charts of 3DS games that sell for example. 90% of them are original games.
The only ports that helped them to sell the device was Ocarina of Time
and no, DS had original games. There can't be any ports because hardware is too limited to port from any console.
Dragon Quests, Pokemon's, Dungeon Crawler games, NSMB. The World Ends With You and etc., Kingdom Hearts.
There are a lot of original games.Posted 1 week ago # -
I'm going to come back to this after My programming class and when I get off work today. Because there's a perspective I want to point out.

There are not many interesting games for VITA to make me buy one,
maybe only FIFA Football & that Diablo clone game on VITA ( what was the name? ) :DPosted 4 days ago # -
@ Pytox: dungeon hunter....
i was very sceptical about the vita but i am really enjoying it. can´t say there arent enough games.
i just downloaded mutant blobs yesterday and it is awesome and damn cheap. it really is great. gameplayvideos don´t show how cool this game really is.
have lots of games yet to finish on the vita. super stardust is a better version of a great game, rayman origins, even unit 13 is quite fun, UC golden abyss was nice but at the same time a bit disappointing imho - well it looks great on the vita and gives you an idea of how much better games will look in the furutre so it´s still worth a purchase, wipeout is great, motorstorm rc is fun. some psp games are timeless classics too and are really cheap: FF dissidia, killzone liberation, the syphon filter games, killzone liberation, daxter, MEDIEVIL!!! and many many more.Posted 4 days ago #
