I just... I just don't get some reviewers for Vita.  I'm all for expressing what they want; and pointing out flaws where there are flaws and scoring accordingly (for example, a few reviewers said the campaign was too short; or that they didn't like the controls or AI of Killzone Merc).

Yet, the Metacritic quotes still have a place for things like this.

Metro: "The real test for Mercenary is whether the game would stand out if it was released on a home console, but the answer to that is probably not."

EGM: "The crowded control scheme, uninspired campaign, and limited multiplayer options are completely outclassed by most home-console shooters."

I honestly don't think it'll ever change by this point.  Whatever damage Sony has done by advertising this as "console quality on the go" (I assume that's why games on Vita get reviewed like this, because logically I'd hope people realise they're playing on a handheld) seems permanent.  Vita games will get compared to their home console equivalents and no amount of pointing out time and time again that Vita isn't a home console will make any difference.

Oh well.  At least Runa liked it!

well,that's an interessting phenomenon.

 Nintendo releasing the same killzone for 3ds(let's call it metroid)

reviewers will say:"perfect,amazing how nintendo managed to create a great handheld game that is so close(80%) to a console version.Even the missing right analog stick is no problem.It's a 95%"

exactly the same game+3x better graphics and better controls(2nd stick):"Once again Sony failed to create a 1:1 console experience.They just reached 90% of the console version=fail.70%"

Online on the Killzone Merc beta was damn near perfect Kylie. What are you talking about. My internet connection is kind of crap, and still I never had one problem with the merc online experience.

Kylie Minouge is the new former you.

Never wasting a chance to criticize vita.



Crazy Taxi Fare Wars is £1.99 atm on EU PSN. Vita compatible. It's a port of the first two Crazy Taxi games, and it's very much worth it for that price.



Well, I've been reading some reviews, and I think people are complaining too much about how it's not the same as a console game, but if it were the other way around, they would complain because it's the same as a console game, and they would say that a handheld game needs a unique experience.

So I don't care what they say because they will never be satisfied about that.

However, It's unbelievable that the game only has 6 multiplayer maps, and only 3 multiplayer modes. I don't care if the campaing is only 4-6 hours length, but OMG! We are in 2013 and that's unbelievable.

I'm buying it, I've been waiting for a decent handheld FPS for so long, but I truly hope that they will release atleast 4 more maps via DLC.

I am reading some criticism for KZ: Mercenary and like Uncharted: GA the reviewers are marking it down because it did not live up to their console counterparts but then again why would they need to compare something that is made on a handheld against its console brothers?

Have you seen the new Zelda on 3DS, its a piece of shit. overhead view lol. the home console games have been 3D since the N64.


But the design choice shouldn't be a basis to compare a handheld against its console counterparts. At least with the new Zelda it was a design choice by trying to be a tad retro with the overhead view. What other design choice can they have with an FPS? :/

They should have made Killzone Wars =P

simply put, reviewers are idiots



I can't wait to see how good Killzone sold in the west and if it is able to push some hardware - along with the pricecut and cheaper memory cards. there are some crazy deals out there so i reeeally hope this game moves some fucking units because i cannot longer understand a world where teenagers play shitty smartphone games with literally NO depth and later grow old and destroy gaming like it's meant to be. we already see this happening, but this goes way off now..

first user reactions on forums show that a pretty good amount of people bought the game, but i'm really looking forward to see real numbers. it's just... as a vita owner i... lost... the ability to gain serious hope, to B.E.L.I.E.V.E.



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

HEy! I'm personally offended by that assumption!  I'll have you know I not only reviewed it on its own merits, but stated it was BETTER than its console brethren! I really think some people missed the deeper points of it all. 



My Console Library:

PS5, Switch, XSX

PS4, PS3, PS2, PS1, WiiU, Wii, GCN, N64 SNES, XBO, 360

3DS, DS, GBA, Vita, PSP, Android

eh don't bother with the review scores...read the content. Some of these reviewers are so biased and dumb it's not even funny. Would love to hear them talk about the negatives of a home console game of these franchises compared to the handheld versions too

They never will

anywho those who loved the game outweighs the rest by a mile :)

Will KZ even fit on my 4GB card? If I buy physical it's only a small install + the 1GB right?
