Borderlands 2 on Vita - Frame rate is a disaster!

I just bought the Vita version 3 days ago. I also played the PC version on max, with absolutely no framerate issues (as its a game that does not have high PC requirements).

My 2 cents on the issue: the Vita version is by far the worse to have, but the only one that is portable. The framerate dips aren't that common, and the game is playable. The control scheme needs to be remapped, I certainly did it, but after tweaking it for a few minutes I finally managed to get a good one. Also there is a stability/remap patch coming out so that should fix some complaints. Also it has all the DLC as far as I know so the $/value of the game is pretty good.

All in all the only thing that brings it down is the stability issue, but again, the ones shown in the video are the extreme cases, and usually the game is fluid enough. Its nowhere near the quality of the PC version, but then it can fit in your pocket. The 65 meta it has is a pretty accurate depiction of what you should expect. Portable, playable but not perfect.

Would you ever be able to imagine what you would score it on metacritic if it was a game which hadn't been on other systems? Just as a standalone game which came out only for the vita with the amount of content it has (I got it new for 15euros in gamestop here in Ireland btw, they've already reduced it in their summer sale if any of my potatoe wielding brethren want to get a copy of it) This is the way I'm playing the game for the first time and yeah to me it is a pretty amazing game to have such a low score on metacritic, I feel that if you'd never played the game before you might be put off buying it on the Vita because of the low metascore, tis a shame really.

Totally agree with you, and now, that there is a Vita version, I might actually finish the game, when Im on my trip to Germany in like 2 weeks time

 

But never the less, its a port, and a mediocre one. It somehow reminds me of Doom on the GBA: not perfect, but FFS, its in the palm of your hands. No other system can make this game both playable and fit in your pocket to
