Borderlands 2 on Vita - Frame rate is a disaster!

I've heard quite a few people who played it saying that the frame rate drops are not that frequent and that the game as a whole is a lot of fun. We've seen countless times videos showing that a game was terrible, but they tend to be misleading as they show only one aspect of the game.

For example, DMC was criticized for bad frame rate and I don't remember it affecting my gameplay at all (I think the game is amazing as it is on ps3 - 9.5/10)

DMC was critically acclaimed.

While Borderlands 2 Vita is getting low scores because of the frame rate impacting gameplay. I haven't played DMC much on consoles, but I'll presume its dips aren't in the same ballpark.

I don't think you got my point. I'm not trying to argue that the two games have similar frame drops. Instead, that a game can be fun despite such techincal issues. For some people who bought DMC for ps3 these issues were a deal breaker  and they bashed the game and said they traided it in and got the pc version. Others, like me didn't even notice them.

Similarly, there's a game called Little King's story on the psvita and the frame rate drops are insane. I notice them every time I play it. But the game is still fun and i'm gald I got it. I'm sure there are many people who would rather play borderlands on psvita with frame rate drops than a game like Sly Cooper that runs smoothly.

Again, for some they might be a dealbreaker and for others just a con. So, I don't think it was a bad decision as long as it pushed hardware sales. Though yes, it goes without saying that Sony should have made a gran turismo game for vita. Port or  not.
