It's a nice handheld, but tbh, now that the Switch is out, it's not worth it... I mean, the thing about the Vita was, with the first model specially, the beauty of its screen... Now the Switch has a 720p screen, and much more power. The Vita still looks good, specially the OLED but... If you already have a PS4, you won't find more than 5 or 6 games worth playing...

Aww. I was just reading through this and thinking "we're having such a nice thread, people are making suggestions and there's no console wars rubbish; no belittling Vita and no forcing Switch viewpoint" and then you go and post this. Like clockwork there's always someone showing up with this kinda stuff every time anyone even mentions Vita these days. Ah well.

The Vita doesn't last much longer...

I dunno about Switch length, but I can say that my LCD lasts MUCH longer than 3 hours lol. I have an OLED and LCD, the OLED is probably in the 3 hour ballpark you're right; but LCD is like pushing 6 hours - and even longer if you're playing PSP/PS1 games.

Other games I have on my list are Mind Zero, Tales of Hearts, Dungeon Hunter Alliance, Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy and Freedom Wars. Any Vita exclusives you guys recommend? If it's on the PS4, I most likely already know of or own it. (Like Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth)

Recommend me exclusives that are RPG's, Third person shooters. Honestly really anything that is not a first person shooter. 

Since these are your criteria (and you haven't outright said "not on PC or PS3", here are a few suggestions. First up, RPG's

- Ar no Surge Plus
- Any Atelier game (my favourites are Totori & Meruru)
- Demon Gaze (I'd try this one before Operation Abyss, but if you are after that game, I wrote a review here)
- The Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;bith games (I wrote about the first one here)
- Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (review here if you're interested)
- Lost Dimension (review here if you're interested)
- Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines
- Soul Sacrifice Delta (easily the best hunting game on Vita)
- Tales of Hearts R (review here if you're interested)
- Ys: Memories of Celceta

A couple of the above games have PS3 versions, but most of them have additional content and/or changes on Vita that make them worth buying for the handheld over home console.

In terms of third-person shooters, your choice is vastly more limited, but I'd still suggest:

- Earth Defence Force 2/2017 (review of the latter here if you're interested)
- Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. Force (review here if you're interested - it's not solely a TPS but features those mechanics)
- Uncharted: Golden Abyss
- Unit 13

You'll also have access to a back-catalog of PSP & PS1 games that I'd recommend sifting through, but if you already played them on those respective consoles then I suppose that loses some of the luster.

Congrats on your purchase!!! If you want some recommendations, I think you should post in the PS Vita thread, or at least ask Kresnik. He's definitely the guy who can hook you up with good Vita suggestions!=

Ha, thanks for the shout-out.
