As a Sony fan I wish they had never made Vita

Good Luck with the Platinum. I got it yesterday. "tree Ninja" and "what is she doing" where also hard to get because the kills were not always counting. The last Trophy I needed was climbing the 8848m... I got around 5000 during my playthrough so I had to grind the last ones. Two rubberbands did the job within an hour. Such trophies should be more balanced so that you can get it during a normal playthrough. So, good luck for you Platinum.

I have yet to play a game where the motion controls offer a benefit over the normal controller. Ok, I did not play every game out there, but the only games I have played so far that were really suited for the motion controls were Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright, Sports Champion, Deadstorm Pirates and similar Railshooter. motion controls work with some Minigames, too. Super Mario Galaxy was ok, but I would have prefered a traditional controller for Jump'n'Runs.

Epic Mickey and Silent Hill Shattered Memories were a nightmare since you got control problems you just wouldn't have had with the controller. Why can't I turn off the motion controls? They should be optional because they simply ruined the games for me. That is a big deal for me on the Vita... Every game I buy could be potentially broken because of badly implemented motion controls. Its the same problem with the WII or the WII U. Since the Motion Controls are there on the main controller, they could be implemented in every game. The PS3 has the Move as an optional controller. So unless I see a big MOVE Sign on the cover I can be sure that I can play the game without Motion Controls.

It should be simple as that. If you can't integrate motion controls properly... make it either optional or just don't use them. Ok, touch screens are there in Smartphones and Tablet PCs... but I simpy doubt that users of these devices will buy a VITA or a WII U too. They already have a device for playing these types of games. I thinkt that most user buy their Vita because they simply want to play more complex games. And the sales figures of the Vita and the WII U are not really on fire despite having touchscreen controls.

What would you think if you play a game, for example New Super Mario Bros. Wii. And there is a feature included that you can collect 3 Special Coins in every World. What would you say if there were 1 Coin that you just couldn't get because the developers screwed up. Ok, you could play through the game and you wouldn't miss anything important. But if you choose to collect all coins you would be pissed.

Thats how I feel about trophies. They are part of the game and I try to beat my games. The developers have to implement them, ok. But if they are implementing them, they should do it properly, so that every player with decent skill could get the platinum. What would you say if you buy a book and there is a bonus appendix there... but written in a foreign language so that you could not read it. Ok, you could say that it is just a bonus and it doesn't matter much... But I suppose you would feel irritated if such things happen.

Take Mortal Kombat for the Vita. I would have never bought this game because I simply do not like it. But I got it for free due to PS+. As I researched a bit if I might like the game I saw the Trophy list and saw this trophy mentioned by Chark with the 500h+. And I wondered what the developers were thinking when they choosed the trophies. Am I supposed to play no other game than Mortal Kombat for months? Do they think that only the most hardcore players or the Elite deserve the Platinum? I deleted the game without even trying it out. I would never have bought the game anyway since I never was a fan of MK but if it had a simple Platinum I might have given it a try. But with this Trophy list I felt that I am not really the taret group of the game and I doubted even more that I may like the game.

Again. If you want to implement a feature, then do it properly and take your customers serious.
