I platinumed it too, so it's technically playable, but I said it's borderline unplayable.  it was a royal pain in the ass at every turn.  I want to go through and get all the tropies in 2 and 3 as well, but I certainly won't be doing it on Vita. 

Also, who are you or anyone else to tell me what I did or did not experience?  this was very clearly sub 20FPS in certain spots, and I was constantly plagued by glitches, audio problems, and all sorts of performance issues. Seriously, not a good port at all.  

It's not a good port, far from it. If you platinumed it, to come close to calling it "unplayable" is a gross over-exaggeration.

I wasn't telling you waht you did or did not experience. I said the US cartridge may well be different to the EU one I've played. However it's very hard to see a perspective where these 3 games even with the Vita ports, culminate in a 4/10 rating. Unless they were broken to a point where it was impossible to play the games, which if you've platinumed the game, clearly isn't the case.

It's clear all the negative aspects are purely technical, and ignore the actual content of the games themselves. I guess this is why these scores aren't reported on the meta sites.

Maybe ports should be reviewed like home releases of movies are, with a separate rating for the actual content of the film then the quality of the transfer and encoding onto the disc.

What is it with people trying to twist things so that everything they like gets a better review?  it happened with Dead Space 3, as well. "If you felt it didn't fit your tastes you should have tried a different mode/played co op/changed the difficulty/played it different."  that's no different from here, where people are picking and chosing what to be critical of so that it doesn't get a bad score.  WE already had a review of the game's content seen here: 

http://www.gamrreview.com/review/88819/jak-amp-daxter-collection/

That told you all you neded to know about how well the series held up against modern standards and how well they played.  you already know all that shit, there's no need for me to repeat it, so I discussed mostly the changes and how well it was ported.  I could only compare this to the existing game, because if I was reviewing it on its own merits (value, graphics, gameplay, etc), it'd rate higher, but since it's my job to rate it compared to it's existing version, it got a super duper shitty score, since it was a super duper shitty port.  You'll notice I discussed that very issue in the very first paragraph when I mentioned the changes and additional content in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D.  

This, however, was identical to the console version, save the shitty performance.  I don't understand why that incites such anger in the community.  

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.  The Jak and Daxter collection on Vita is a perfect example of developers being too lazy to give a shit about porting things to the system properly.  No to mention how absolutely terrible Soul Sacrifice really was once you got past the well written story and cool spell blending/stacking mechanic.

Man get that garbage nonsense out of here. We criticize the fucking system more than anyone else when it deserves it. Just because you got some criticism about your review stop whining about it. Try to argue with points and if they don't agree then agree to disagree and move on. No need to be so dramatic over something so trivial

 

and No Soul Sacrifice awesome..it's called opinions, you might have heard about them. I must be around 80-90 hours in to that game now and is some of the most fun I have had on a portable

Wow, some intense discussions going on O_O. I don't care... except that i agree with M.U.G.E.N.
Some news about Freedom wars :
I know you all wanted to know that you can have male androids that follow you around in the game:


There is also some bit of info, Like battles taking place in large areas and multiple users can whip the monsters at the same time to tie it down.

Edit: I also found this new image on the official game site: Looks like you might be able to save the person once he turns into a monster ? So maybe a similar mechanic to Soul Sacrifice(Kill/Save)



Can't wait to see some actual gameplay of Freedom Wars. I wonder if the accessories will be like pawns in Dragon's Dogma where you have a large degree of customization.

Peep this box:

My final post before going to bed.
Copied from Gaf, new info about PS4 remote play:
PS4 remote play also supports a local multi-user lobby, so up to four players can connect to the same PS4 at once – and all saved games are bound to the user not the device.

It still needs explanation, but I think co-op games can be played on multiple vitas connected to same ps4?
