No wonder this thread is jokingly called "The Church of the Vita Cult" by some others.  So slavenly devoted to all things Vita that most people can't see when your chosen path is rocky.

Sorry to bring this up again, especially after the topic has died down, but I'm really disappointed you typed this Runa.  I thought you were pretty decent at raising a point; defending it etc.  And I think you're a decent writer based on your reviews, even if I don't always agree with the final score you give them.  But typing something like this is the equivalent of playing the "your mom" card, in my opinion.  Just an effortless putdown when you don't know how to argue with something you disagree with.  Especially given the rest of your reply which was pretty on-point.

Well this is the thread of the Vita cult, only others don't see it as a loving homage or joke.  

I've been torn apart for every bad thing I've ever said about the vita in this thread, even if others were saying the same thing.  why?  

In this thread, I've been bitched at, most recently, for telling it as I experienced it on a game that others supposedly 'didn't find all that bad'.  As a reviewer, I'm supposed to report on my findings and my experiences without any input or influence from outside sources, and when I played the Jak and Daxter collection on Vita, it was nigh unplayable.  I reflected that in my review, and I get 'called out'  as a hater, or that I was exagerrating for effect.  How is that not cultish behaviour?  

Of course it doesn't help that my thoughts on the Vita went from "OMG best handheld EVER!" to "Man...I've got nothing to play on my Vita...Sony, you're dropping the ball!"  and I can't even say that without being called a hater or some other generic 'baw, stop hating what I like' moniker.  I don't hate the Vita, I have no agenda (and if I did it would be pro-vita), but right now, the last two console purchases of mine are proving to be the two most disappointing purchases.  The Vita has virtually nothing this year, it blew its load last year and now all it's getting is ports of PS3 games or rerelases of older games.  I can think of only TWO truly exclusive games for it this year:  Tearaway and Killzone.  WiiU isn't doing any better.  its first year had a whopping ONE game that appealed to me - two if you count New Super Luigi U.  That was one of the most anemic first years in any console's history; that was worse than the PS3's launch!  

And I'll be I'll be called a hater for criticizing the WiiU, too, even though I love the system and use it regularly for Netflix and the Virtual Console. 

My point is, when you get harassed and insulted enough, you stop trying to give 'rational' retorts.  Sometimes, when you get enough shit, you can't help but go, "yeah, but nobody likes you and they all laugh behind your back."  And when you've been let down by towers of potential ignored and misused, it's hard not to laugh with them so you're not laughed at.
