I dislike the repetity of the game, which was excusable in the original games, due to the fantastic level design and cutscenes, but Golden Abyss managed to create a highly repetitive version of Uncharted, with bad writing, poor and unoriginal level design, and clone the soundtrack (as well as the other aspects of the game) from the series' first entry. The puzzles are also tedious. They're not exactly difficult, but many of them, like the charcoal rubbing and statue puzzles, are poorly designed and just plain boring. Things like the more interesting puzzles from the original games, such as the mirror hall in 3 or the painting room in 2, are absent. The touchscreen interaction, rather than adding to the realism, serves as a gimmick that you can never turn off, an example of this being the easy bosses controlled through finger swipes.

The game feels more like a poorly done tribute to the series than a legitimate entry, in my opinion.

Bit of a sly double post there, Tech? Hehe, I trust you have your reasons.

Oh, shite! Sorry!

Deciding rather to purchase a Vita or not, really depends on what kind of gamer you are and what kind of games appeal to you. I bought a Vita primarily for the first-party exclusives like Gravity Rush, Tearaway, Little Big Planet PS Vita, and Escape Plan, along with the vast line-up of Indie Games coming to the platform. Since I own a 3DS as well, I can now compare both consoles. If you like Nintendo's IPs, you would be more suited to the 3DS, though unfortunately, there really isn't much more worth playing beyond that, with the exception of the occasional third-party exclusive. If you want more experimental and overall more creative games, buy a Vita. If you like Indie games, the Vita is an Indie powerhouse, with a large selection of games ranging from exclusives like Flower, Flow, Sound Shapes, and Escape Plan to multi-platform titles like Limbo, Thomas Was Alone, Guacamelee, and with Fez, Minecraft, and Oddworld: New N' Tasty in the coming months. Whereas the 3DS has a rather meager catalog in this category. If you want a console with a multitude of media features, the Vita is superior as well, while the 3DS offers nearly the same amount, the shared services between both platforms are superior on the Vita. The Vita also benefits from the Cross-Buy and PS Plus services, plus the growing catalog a PS1 games that can be emulated, not to mention the Gakai streaming service will debut on the platform eventually, opening up an even more massive back-catalog from all PlayStation platforms. Whereas Nintendo has barely managed to get all of their essential NES and Gameboy/GBC titles on the Virtual Console service.
While unlike how I make it sound, the 3DS is not a bad console at all, it just really depends on what games you prefer, and personally there are just far more games on Vita that pique my interest than on 3DS. It would be in your best interest to extensively look into both game libraries to make your decision.
The way I see it at this point, is that the 3DS is the more mainstream handheld, with the PS Vita being for more of the niche audience.


On another note, I just completed Tearaway. What an amazing experience it was, it's just a shame it didn't last longer. It took me around five to six hours to complete, I would estimate. And the ending was actually quite emotional for a game that appears rather light-hearted on the surface.

Oh god:

OCG, I'm not getting the video, could you try pasting it in again?

Yeah, it's all... white, here.

Fixed! Sorry

Ah, yes, the one where a woman was kidnapped and held for ransom for a PSP, debilitatingly stupid indeed.

...some people don't have any lives... let alone a soul or brain....

Insane people always give bad image to gaming.

They do, and it really sucks. It's more of the parents fault, how they raise their kids.

The Woman who was attacked actually posted comment herself. Here is quote: "Well, i have to say, ive never been more against ps gaming systems...LOL! I have to smile and believe they will bring my case to justice!"

Can't blame gaming consoles... you just can't... it's like blaming guns for problems. It's not the item, an item doesn't think, a person does.

I know dude, thats why I really dislike crimes like this. It ruins image to gaming and plus of course it's bad when person get's hurt and traumatized like that.

This is horrible, not only because of the torture and fear this woman experienced, but also because of the shitstorm that is going to descend on the gaming industry because of this. Guns I feel are more related to crimes, as they are so easily handed out to random people, and since gun deaths are quite common, but FUCKING GAME CONSOLES? That's like blaming the chair company for not making a chair light enough to push over during an escape from an intruder.

These are just insane people; it's not the fault of Sony or the gaming industry in the slightest.

Does any of you have Crash Tag Team racing for psp?

I am planning to get that game but not for PSP. I will get PS2 version, because it is more stable. I played it in past btw.

The God of War and Sly Cooper Collections were confirmed for PS Vita. I've wanted to try the Sly trilogy for some time now, so this is pleasant news.
Let's just hope these ports aren't anything like the Jak and Daxter collection we received last year. One another note, If Sony refuses to release a robust catalog of platform-exclusive games, then bring on the ports, I say! I'm hoping for a Ico and Shadow of The Colossus Collection next.

Gameplay for Ready at Dawns "The Order 1886" The seamless transition from cutscenes to gameplay is awesome and the game is looking brilliant overall.
