  1. Get a Job you Hippie (kidding)
  2. How do you know this if you haven't tried them? Do you have a 3DS? If you do I am betting you own a Mario/1st Party NIN title or another which is also offered on console. Most of the 1st party offering from Sony have been stellar so far but mental prejudice/double standards like these are hindering them. If you get the chance just try U:GA,Gravity Rush, SS Delta, etc.
  3. I can personally say you are completely correct on this one ut not for the reason u might think. It is just so expensive trying to get service with AT&T not to mention they are boarderline incompetent. It does have its functionality though 4G would have been better.
  4. Legit.

1. I'm looking!!

2. What I mean, is that the experience is the EXACT SAME as it is on the PS3, at least that's the way it is with Uncharted and Wipeout. They're good games, but they would be better on the PS3. The experience isn't really changed on the Vita, and the PSP had pretty much the exact same problem outside of a few games, and if I recall, some devs didn't like that as well. 

I have a 3DS and Mario Kart 7, but the difference is Nintendo changes the experience from console to portable. You won't see a full on Twilight Princess style Zelda on the 3DS. Mario 3D Land is also different. I will admit there is some overlap, but not as much as there is on the PS2/PS3 and PSP/Vita. 


There is the double standard. Mario Kart 7 offers very little that makes it completely unique from the main Nintendo entries on console. It could very well have been on Wii without issue. Nintendo plays mind games because of the way they MARKET their games. They named it 7 so you feel it is important to the series. This is similar to FF spin offs. The fact that they do not have just a roman # in the title means they are by default inferior in the customer mind. THIS is why SE made FFXI and FFXIV numbered entries. 

IDK what makes gamers say this. Is it the genre? Are we simply biased to which genres travel from console to portable? Maybe, but some even condemn LBP being on Vita, saying it would be better on console. Yes, zelda games are usually unique experiences on portable....but OoT isn't. The only reason console IPs that go to portables ever really fully change their formula was simply because the handheld couldn't handle the full experience. For what handhelds cannot mimmick from the console counterpart, they simply come up with ways for the short comings. If they could, they would make them the same with very few tweaks. I don't see how that is a bad thing either.

Everytime someone says Vita's games are better on PS3 and then points to 3DS's....

  • Mario Kart 7
  • New Super Mario Bros 2
  • Zelda:OoT
  • Kingdom Hearts:DDD
  • Resident Evil: Revelations
  • Super Mario 3D Land
I will be sure to drive this same argument right into their juggular.

I no have need.

Nexus Tablet basically destroyed any reason I had to get a Vita.

well until Persona 4 Golden comes out at least.



I couldn't agree more forevercloud3000. People tend to have a lot of bias and misconception when it comes to portables. A game is a game no matter how you slice it or where you play it. I did not get a portable last gen because they offered mostly inferior games due to lack of power or controls. With Vita we truly have a handheld that on par with home consoles, with all of its extra trimmings. People say why get a Vita when you can get a PS3, I say why get a PS3 when you can get a Vita?



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Nobody thinks that, Pie. You're twisting what people have said in the past here. They said (me included) that games matter MORE right now than a simple price cut. Games first, price cut later as I always say. Or games+price cut at the same time.

You may have said that, but I've gotten quite a few people just tell me that there is no price-cut needed whether it be now or ever. (Until the system get's older, of course.)

So no, I'm not twisting words.



As a Vita owner I don't think that device on it's own is too expensive. But when combined with Vita memory cards it gets pricey.

Honestly, for a device that has such a huge premise on downloadable content even offering a 4GB memory card as a most affordable option at this time and date is abysmal. For crying out loud even Wipeout DLC's are close to 800MB. And if you guys check the prices of MicroSD cards on Amazon, and see that for under 20$ you can get 32GB card...

They should slice prices of memory in half, and remove the 4GB model.

OK...like who? "Not now or ever" but still when it gets older? How much older?

Do you expect me to care to remember? 

How should I know? It's their (yes, I did indeed but 'there' instead of 'their' ) mind, I was just hoping that they would expect a price-cut after at least 3 years (like all consoles) so I put that.

I see a contradiction lol. And the second bolded point is just wrong.

I'm hoping he means "No games that I like" or "Not enough games."

That's what I meant.  But I went a little radical :P
