Is it okay to start a PS Vita bitching thread? Delete if not, I suppose.
Man, do I love to hate my Vita. I've made that clear elsewhere, but since folks seem to think I'm trolling just to irritate them (I'm not), I'll take my bitching here.
I like my Vita.
I in' hate my Vita.
Don't agree? Fine. But I can't be the only one who feels this way.
The hardware is magnificent and holds a ton of potential, but the software selection plain *sucks*. I have a $250 device that I spend most of my day playing Final Fantasy IX on (which I could do on my PSP), or perhaps Plants vs Zombies (iPhone).
The best news I've seen in some time is that Vita is getting Final Fantasy X and X-2; surely $40 individual releases of a decade-old game (that the PS3 is getting as a single release as well). Oh, wow, Machinarium is coming for $7, a game that's already out on every console and my toaster. Next you'll tell me to get excited because there's a social-media-based alarm clock "game" for Vita...oh. Right.
Why did I buy a Vita? Now that I have one, what am I missing on it? Should I buy Michael Jackson Experience? Ridge Racer? MortalKombatNinjaGaidenNinjaGaiden2 or the myriad other amazing titles already available for every other console?
The digital selection of software is unimpressive, the forthcoming releases do virtually nothing to improve my faith in the long-term viability of the console. I want to like the system - I do like the system - but man, I also in' hate the system.
I can't be the only one who is ambivalent towards the Vita, yes? Who has it and hasn't traded it in yet, who wants it to develop as a system but sees little potential in the future?
It's a $250 hunk of woefully unfulfilled potential, in my eyes. I am thankful for buying the Vita - after buying it near launch, it's complete lack of relevance has completely destroyed that consumer urge I had to own all the new consoles that came out. Since I got burned by the Vita, I'm staying away from the Wii U until it's far cheaper. I learned my lesson.
If you love your Vita, well, bully for you. I'm not going to tell you to hate it any more than you should try to tell me to like mine. At least you think you're getting your money's worth. I do think people who think the Vita's gaming experience thus far is unique and satisfying are out of their goddamned minds, but again, just an opinion.
