Your justifications, please?

I like your points and agree with all of them except the COD thing, the game doesn’t look that great and although I think Resistance was given a hard time COD isn’t worth the price they are trying to charge for it and to find out it had a 5 month development time and was the by product of a cancelled full port of BO2 when activision didn’t want to spend the $ fixing bugs and adapting tech to work better on the vita is a real kick in the teeth….

No fact in there… just your opinion and why would people be in damage control mode? We aren’t sony we just bought the device an I’ll admit I was finiding it hard to justify the purchase after a few months, but since liberations came out and nfs and some great psn titles actually it doesn’t need justifying anymore because it is a great machine. Also clearly you have nothing better to do with your time than troll on sony articles; who’s trying to do damage control hmm? People who probably do actually like their vita or you? Feeling the need to go to other news storys and make stupid statements and try and push nintendo up? Yes they can be considered king of the handhelds (looking at sales alone) however considering they had to drop their price and do what they never do and sell at a loss plus they target a totally different audience. The most worrying thing is I think is your statement about the last of us- your fantasies about what content you want in a game and what’s in there are thankfully different things-although I’ll give you that beyond 2 souls will be crap just as Heavy Rain was and before that Fahrenheit.

Instead, you should look forward these for your old PS3 in 2013 :

1. The Last of Us — A pedophile’s heaven with guns, flesh and blood.
2. Beyond: Two Souls — A drugged soul-less teenage girl with a hot twisty dream.

Look at the line “some games…looked great simply because of the art design.” So yeah…go ahead and disregard any credit that would normally go to a console for that because…well, because it’s the Vita and like most haters, this “writer” discards the good because it gets in the way of the objective, which is to smear the Vita.

LMAO…”We didn’t review Persona 4.” It’s only the best handheld game of 2012…but you didn’t review it, and you didn’t mention that it’s taken most of the superlative acclaim for handheld games in 2012. Super professional.

Also…LOVE how they don’t even know the title to Gravity Rush…instead calling it Gravity DAZE. Gravity Rush is an excellent game. They were careful not to pretend to hate it, as well as not to heap too much praise on it…again…eyes on the prize…they have to smear the Vita.

Then, as if to show just how completely unbalanced their POV is, they say didn’t play Black Ops Declassified…but they just took all the crappy reviews of it on their word. Hmmm…okay…great game Persona 4…didn’t review it, didn’t mention other reviews…allegedly “crappy” game CoDBOD…didn’t review it, mentions other reviews. Nice. Fair and balanced has apparently found a new home. /sarcasm

Uncharted was wholly underrated, if the only adjective being used for it is “solid,” then I highly doubt the person who wrote this article played it, because it was incredible, especially when compared against the games the 3DS has to offer.

Assassin’s Creed Liberation was uneven and choppy…definitely could’ve used a few more months in development, but again it’s got better gameplay, is more interesting and better looking than anything I’ve played on my 3DS.

Black Ops Declassified gets a horrible wrap. You cannot finish the campaign in under an hour unless you run through every stage taking no damage, instakilling every enemy and doing so at a pace that would suggest several hours of practice. In short…you CAN’T. It took me an hour to get through three missions alone last night and I’m probably better at CoD than this “article’s” author.

Black Ops Declassified’s multiplayer is insane. I almost want to play that multiplayer more than Black Ops 2’s MP. Almost.

Oh and there’s the fact that Black Ops Declassified was the best selling handheld game of the fourth quarter, that it broke the top 15 games sold over all platforms.

But wait…all of that would be flattering to the Vita and not condescending or smarmy at all. Can’t have that, can we??

The Vita had a B+ year in 2012. It’s priced right…it’s the Memory Cards that are priced too high. It had great games come out for it, and anyone who says there are no great games for the Vita is either being willfully ignorant or they simply don’t know what they’re talking about.

I’m guessing that for this author, it’s a little bit of both.
