There are plenty of exclusives actually. Maybe not enough that appeal to you?

 

 

I bolded the part you obviously missed.

The 3DS doesnt get much more worthwhile stuff. It certainly did last year, but this year doesnt look as good.

I dont know what else is coming aside Yoshi's island and Layton vs AA. Nintendo needs to announce more stuff (or for the Wii U). They dont have many games coming atm. And ragnarok is still an exclusive at this time (and that version will stay that way). Ace will come out on the Vita aswell.

You reminded me i forgot about Persona 4 golden! Anyways most of those impressions are your opinion and are not fact at all.

Nope. I play a lot of different games but the sad truth is that you can count in 1 hand all the must have games for the PS Vita and everything else you can do without. 

The 3Ds may not be getting "worthwhile stuff" but at least its getting a bunch of stuff. I'm one of those who welcome shovelware. More shovelware means that more developers are seeing that the console is a viable platform to get their games on. the platform with the most shovelware tends to sell the most... think PSone, PS2, Wii, DS... yeah... if the Vita ever starts getting a shyet load of shovelware, I'd welcome those crap with open arms...

If you look at metacritic, many if not most of my opinions are in line with what many of the critics are saying... it may be an opinion, but its the majority opinion.

Nintendo needs to get 3rd party on board the Wii U. I'm one of those who could care less about mario, so more 3rd party = better for me. people can say what they like about the WiiU but I'd get me one of those if I had the moneyz. 


Your opinion in Tearaway, is that the critics opinion aswell? Tch... you're just trying to skew an agenda to justify your decision.

Its perfectly fine if they dont appeal to you, but many of those games stand above 80 metacritic. Not that metacritic matters for anything though. Recently its down rating good games like Lords of shadow 2 and south park. Commercial ratings are a tricky thing (that pass alot by traffic of influences) and you wont find support for them with me.

watchatalking about? i have no opinion on tearaway, hence my "no idea" comment. didn't buy it, didn't play it, so...no opinion from me on the game

What agenda? If you care to look at my posting history, I was one of Vita's number one fan...sadly, Sony decided that it was ok to just give me a bunch of indies of which there are a million similar games on the App store/Play store. 

If anything, I wanted the Vita to sell gang busters..but witht the support that the damn thing is getting from Sony its doing crap...

As I've said previously, I cannot in good concience recommend the Vita to anyone with Sony's aweful support for it.  I'm just being honest here. 

Let me ask you, can you recommend the Vita to anyone and tell them with a stragiht face that after listing the games that are available now there is nothing really worth while comming out in the near and mid future? 

its like saying

hey, buy a vita, it has this and this and this and this

really? WOW! whats up in the horizon in the next few months

....ummm... nothing?

Wut? come now, you sold me on all these neat games out now, whats next?

...ummm...yeah... really... nothing?...

O_o

You don't really need a thread to convince people on this website why to buy a certain console.

You need to get someone drunk and then tell them how great the Vita is and tell them they should buy one right away.  The only good way of convincing someone the Vita is worth it.


Hey, hows hotline miami going?

And the Vita doesn't? I looked at metacritic as you suggested.

In 2012 the Vita got much more good rated games than the 3DS:

In 2013 the 3DS got some great must-haves (Fire Emblem, A Link Between Worlds, Pokemon), but again the Vita got more good rated games overall:

In 2014 the Vita got again more good rated games (so far) and more games are announced than for the 3DS:



Still not enough reasons.

  Hey, you were trying  to pass your opinion as fact. What i have been saying is  that how atractive that list looks depends on personal taste. I would recommend the vita to people that can find something that appeals to them on that list and the non-exclusives.

The fact is the vita is the best portable hardware console. It is indeed lacking the full sce support we would like to see, but its far from not beeing worthwhile.



Killzone alone convinced me to buy a Vita, srs. Now hoping for a Gran Turismo.

I have a feeling that Sony/PD will have a GT6 bundle for PSV. Won't look as good as the PS3 version, but it'll be better than the PSP version. I also think they will have a GT6 XL version for the PS4 this year. GT6 sold horribly (by GT standards), so they might want to rectify that by porting the game to their other consoles.

How about this for a sales pitch....

Yeah, you should so get a Vita it's got some really cool games like Gravity Rush, Ys: Memories Of Celcetia, Soul Sacrifics and Tearaway, all exclusives that are well worth giving some time. It's night and day difference for multiplats on Vita and 3DS, it's like the difference between Wii and PS3; Rayman Origin and Sonic & Sega All Star Racing Transformed look and play so much better on Vita. It's got a great variety too with full console games on it. Seriously PS3 games like Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Amazing Spider-Man, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Epic Mickey 2, Disgaea 3 and Sly Cooper 4 are all great on the Vita. It really is the home console experience on the move. Then there's the re-releases which are incredible. The Vita is basically a PS2 in your pocket, they've got so many HD Collections and remakes out some of which they've added new modes or sections to, there's; Persona 4 Golden, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection and the Jak & Daxter Collection. Oh, and did I mention they've got a good library of indie games like Spelunky, Terraria, Plants vs. Zombies and a seemingly endless back catalogue of old PSP and PSOne games you can download on PSN, and they're on average £5 each so there's no way you can get bored with the Vita. I've been replaying the PSP version of Lemmings and naturally Final Fantasy VII from the PSOne recently, both on the Vita and they're really good. They upscale everything and have multiple display modes so it looks brand new, better than playing the orginals. Oh yeah, and I've not even told you about the apps, you can use Facebook, YouTube, there's a decent browser, it's like having a small tablet.

Oh what games are coming out for it this year. Well we're getting the HD remake of Final Fantasy X and X-2 later this month, as well as the God Of War HD Collection and Sly Cooper HD Collection shortly after that. We've got a few cool indies like Binding Of Issac, Rouge Legacy, and I hear they're bringing Minecraft over though it's probably just the console version. As for upcoming Vita games, it's hard to say, things are always being delayed and changed (Watch_Dogs anyone), but Mind Zero looks like an interesting RPG, there's a new Guilty Gear XX game due out at some point this year (though it's only got a North American release date, but Vita's region free so that's no biggy), Ragnarok Odyssey Ace is coming soon, and apparently Dynasty Warriors 8 is due to get a Vita version. Those are the ones I'm aware of at least, there's probably loads of niché Japanese RPGs floating around the net with maybe localisation dates too but I tend to believe them when they happen... Really though we don't need much more. They could stop making Vita games tomorrow (or at least after the FFX remake, I'm really looking forward to that), and I'd still say it very worth it, especially with the PSP and PSOne games on PSN, there's no way you could play everything on the Vita. If you count it's digital library the Vita has a bigger library than the 3DS by quite a long way, and no where near as much shovelwear. My top system of this gen so far, and very underrated, seriously, get one you won't regret it.

Anyone convinced?
