Last time I checked, doing that was against the rules.

Could you refer me to that rule?

"Do not use the title as a deceptive hook to lure people in." - rules

Yes, but this rule has nothing to do with my title. I said it was to increase hits but it is not "deceptive". 

Don't worry. VGC created that rule because they were tired of people viewing the forums "news articles" more than their "official" news articles.

you know seeing that box linked a few times now makes me dread one thing happening with this game, it's age rating I wonder could that hurt its sales a bit I know that Resi Evil on the 3ds was definitely affected by the age of most 3ds owners but would most vita owners be over 18?



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

this would have been a killer app if they had brought that white bundle with the game to europe and the pal regions.

It doesn't matter if they aren't.



Although it looks decent, as others have said, it's far from THE killer app that the Vita needs.

We may see a slight, short-term boost in sales (in addition to the increases for the holidays), but nothing to save the Vita long-term. You need a reliable multi-million seller to do that, or multiple prominent IP's.

AC, CoD, LBP, UC. Vita's got it all!

"Got it all"? 4 games, whilst good, does not mean 'all'. One was a launch title, one failed to sell well at all really and didn't do anything to improve the situation, and the other two haven't been released. 

I don't have much hope for CoD, but AC could do well. But I wouldn't defend the point by saying it's got it all; because whilst it may be true from a quality perspective, it isn't from a sales perspective, which is what you were talking about. 

We'll see in a couple weeks anyway.

LBP has actually sold quite well, though it didn't sell any systems.

please tell me yoi didn't downplay LBP, 2 things you don't know clearly

1. LBP PSV has been undertracked because the early NA release

2. No LBP but 2 has had a good first week, LBP can't be determined by a month on the shelves, people said LBP1 flopped on release cause it did only 300k first week with heavy advertisement. But now look it sold around 5 Million, LBP is a game that will keep selling and has a EU bundle too and PsN sales, will take abunch off the total (they need to start supplying Digital numbers, damn sony)

I'm not downplaying LBP; but it certainly didn't sell any systems.

Well here in Ireland it's illegal for people in stores to sell 18s rated games without ID to kids their parents would have to come to the store with them and purchase it for them after being told by the sales clerk what the game has that makes it 18s, would be the same as selling cigs or alcohol to kids.
