IDK, I really enjoy mine thus far, and I too am waiting for the next monster hunter game for it, sunk probably 200+ hours into Freedom Unite on my psp. I personally have high hopes for the future of the Vita, some minor concerns aside (the menu is fucking annoying..just give me the ps3 style one please?)
The fact that it has two thumbsticks alone has more than sold me on it, because it makes playing PSP games on it so much more enjoyable (you can map the other thumbstick to either face buttons, dpad, or another thumbstick) The two thumbsticks also make it possible to have normal console style games on it. I'm still incredibly interested in what SquareEnix has to say/offer for the psv, because I loved all of their psp offerings (minus Crisis Core. Blech)

So far, the downfall for the Vita is this... Just because the touchpads are there, doesn't mean you HAVE to incorporate them into your game... Don't FORCE the controls on something that doesn't feel natural. Don't FORCE us to have to tap the screen to use the menu when its much easier to use the face buttons. Especially when it's something like returning from pause. You want your hands to be ready to take on whatever is after the pause.

So far, that's been my beef with it. All the games I've tried, they force the touch controls on you. I'm sorry, but ya, the back touch is cool, but it does NOT need to be incorporate into every single game for it...

Uncharted was cool, and I kind of liked that whole drag a line of where you want to climb. But over all, I wasn't too impressed with it. I found the controls kinda clunky.

Apparently no one learned from the DS or LAIR. Forcing bad controls on customers just because they're new is never a good idea.

i like the console, i only played demo of uncharted...

agree.

bought a (second hand) uncharted ps vita game, and in chapter 3 now

Sony will never learn this. They are the ones that bully companies into implementing things like PSmove. Companies like Guerilla, which they own. KZ3 had terrible motion controls tacked on and was oversaturated to accommodate Sony 3D TV owners. When instead they should have been focusing on not making a terrible game. Why even bother with these new things if they only make things worse...

Sony ”made” them ” tack” on move controls.. ? I heard it actually worked out pretty well. And Killzone 3 was awesome and many people will agree. Guerrilla is a great and talented studio. You always seem so grumpy, Mr. Grumples.

It's true I am always grumpies XD

I just thought the whole game was a disaster. Story seemed so great from the trailers yet they failed to kill of Rico AGAIN and then added an annoying Rihanna clone instead of bringing Luger back? And the MP was atrocious and broken with bad map design and those mechs. I still play KZ2 online sometimes, far superior experience.

I have rayman origions about 75% trophies complete, awesome game!
now trying to beat the livid dead.

Rayman is great fun, I only played the demo but I do plan to pick it up at some point.

I totally regretted trading mine in and picked up another one about two weeks later lol. Absolutely loving it now.

Currently enjoying Disgaea 3, which I didn't play first time round but am a huge fan of the first one. I'm not sure the story is as strong in D3 but the mechanics are as enjoyable as ever.

Also went back and grabbed some of the old PSP games too like Persona/Y's Seven.

Kinda disappointed the upcoming MGS HD hasn't got Peace Walker on because you can't use 'Transfarring' if you play the PSP version on Vita which sucks.

Also, this:

Jet set radio is going to look so sexy on that screen.

I have been enjoying mine since launch, mostly been playing Dj Max portable 3 and Mortal Kombat. I was so happy to hear the new DJ max game for Vita is getting a us release.

I hope they're re-releasing JSRF sometime too, liked it more than DC original tbh and music was better.

(and please sega stop milking your 10+ years old titles, make a sequel already )

i got the trophy of finishing livid dead, now i will trade rayman origins with ninja gaiden sigma plus.

I think you'll like Ys Seven, one of the better PSP titles imo. "Trails in the Sky" is another good one released by XSeed/Falcom, if you're into jrpgs.

Oddworld Stranger's Wrath HD is late-June apparently on the Vita too. That MGS collection, Gravity DazeRush, Jet Set...finally some more games.

Really? Wow. That would probably be Vita's first killer title. Even though like most of its other good games, its available on other platforms. Will probably look really nice on the screen. Jet Set, I'm not so sure on. The screen isn't high-res enough and all those straight lines might not look so great on the Vita

Yeah I'm looking forward to Y's, never played any of the previous games but I'm a huge fan of JRPG's and I've heard it's one of the better ones.

I'll check out Trails in the Sky too, thanks for the recommendation.

I'm hoping we see a lot of stuff at E3, I'm actually pretty satisfied with the selection right now and the upcoming titles that have been announced. I'm still waiting on a Monster Hunter announcement though but not holding much hope due to the 3DS MH4 thing. I'd settle for a way to play MHP3rd without doing the US/JP account switcheroo, or even better, an HD port like the PS3 got.

Looking forward to Dragons Crown too, and really hoping it doesn't get cancelled.
