Tearaway looks FRIGGIN INCREDIBLE. It also doesn't have a set date. Soul Sacrifice also looks neat, but it also doesn't have a set date. The next two titles are rather low budget looking PS3 titles, and the last one is...a brain trainer. Not saying they won't be fun (well, aside from the brain trainer. That looked pretty boring), but those games will be playable by any PS3 owner. Not compelling reasons to buy a Vita now.

Again, you aren't really refuting my point, though I appreciate giving me actual names.

Little Deviants, Reality Fighters and Army Corps just aren't very good games. The others you mentioned were fun, but comprise pretty much the entirety of the Vita's original software line up that I haven't already mentioned. I didn't bring them up to begin with because they didn't leave much of an impression on me personally.

I didn't come to this opinion of the Vita without doing my share of research. Both at E3 and throughout the summer I've kept looking for titles coming to the system that I missed, because I couldn't believe how barebones this holiday season and Q1 '13, typically the busiest parts of the year for video game software, were looking. I couldn't believe I was going month after month without playing anything new on my Vita, I couldn't believe the next big title I was looking forward to after the launch line up was Gravity Rush...which ended up being delayed into June. Every few weeks I've checked the PS Store, only to find very little to actually buy. When I'm finding more to get on a Nintendo digital network, there is a VERY big problem.

While looking up the titles mentioned, I watched some videos. Figure I'll post them hear for the benefit of the OP.

I didn't know those two were also PS3, there are more but I'm not fully aware of them. M.U.G.E.N. or Runa would be able to give you a full list. Soul Sacrifice is slated for a March 2013 release actually, so you have that to look forward to. It plays supposedly like Monster Hunter, but it is very unique and with an atmosphere more like Demon's Souls. Very multiplayer centric as well. As for Smart As....atleast they got John Cleese from Monty Python to do the voice.

There is sort of a game drought for the system, kind of forces you to look back at games you overlooked, but with PSone classics just launched there insn't a shortage of stuff to play. Though I guess there never was with PSP games and Minis. Vita has a lot of new IPs for being such a young system but even outside of that the thing is powerful enough to have known IPs release games on the level of current home consoles, like Uncharted:GA, AC3:Liberation, LittleBigPlanet, (maybe) Call of Duty, and that phenominal looking Killzone Mercenaries. Good games are going to start rolling out every month starting with LittleBigPlanet this month.

I know its been kind of touch and go for games since launch but it is like that for every system, unless you're lucky and the early games fall into every category of game you like. I'm just glad the up season is coming for the system and next year already has some awesome looking IPs. That and PS Mobile will shake things up along with PS Plus (I anticipate either Super Stardust Delta, Escape Plan, or Mutant Blobs Attack will be free first week of Plus support). This Fall is the time to pick up a Vita with all of those bundles and great games and maybe after that people won't have to make pro Vita threads because of a series of Vita doom threads.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
