EuroGamer: "The game is a cliché, its thrills limited, its time-stretching ploys clear. It's infused with the character of Call of Duty, but stripped of the spectacle it reveals the underlying game to be wholly plain and an uninteresting use of your time."
PP: Was Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified really that bad on the PS Vita?
In comparison to its console counterparts at the time? Yes. Yes it was. In comparison to DS versions? It was god like
I got tons of fun out of it.
Killzone was better, yeah. Heck even Resistance online was better. But CoD Resistance and Modern Combat and such were all fun to change it up a bit when you've grinded too many hours into Killzone.
If i had to review them, yeah, all those games would get a low af score except Killzone. But i had fun plowing through the Resistance campaign and playing online and goofing off with CoD online while travelling. Not everything has to be a masterpiece but they were all fun enough for what they were lol
How is a system so loved within its community considered a commercial failure, and how did the Nintendo Switch take its idea and run with it?
Highly overpriced proprietary memory, and Sony showing it little support, themselves?
Pretty much Sony ditched it to focus on PS4. Can’t say I blame them, but it is disappointing. If Nintendo can manage to put out games for handhelds and main consoles-I would assume Sony could too.
I personally skipped the vita because memory was just so damn expensive - then eventually, Sony gave up on supporting it.
it got nowhere near the love that the PSP got, which is an absolute shame cause it paired pretty well with the PS4.
The only thing Sony cared about was protecting its image against piracy. They were willing to destroy it for the sake of saving face to its investors after the PSP. Same approach they took with not allowing external storage on the ps5.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Many would argue – and I wouldn’t really disagree – that the PlayStation Vita never really had a killer app. There wasn’t that one piece of software that helped change the console’s fortunes. The closest we got was arguably Persona 4 Golden, an early release that received huge critical acclaim, but it was part of a niche series and as such its sales impact from a hardware perspective was muted.
There were missed opportunities along the way, as certain titles had the potential to change the Vita’s fortunes, but the way the final product was delivered (if indeed it was delivered at all) left a lot to be desired and so they didn’t reach their full potential. It’s these games I’m aiming to look at this in this article – 10 games that were missed opportunities on Vita. I’m not saying that every release I’ll be talking out here had the potential to be a “killer app”, but if they had been executed a little better they would have undoubtedly been a key factor in helping the console reach a wider audience."
My soul still aches over the idea of making 3D Dot Game Heroes a Vita series never happening after the dev studio expressed interest in doing so. Could've been a flagship for it, or at least carried it a bit further.
The vita contributed to the ps3 having less support from Japanese devs. I hope sony keep focusing on one console at time like they are now in the future
Okay that's it scratching of the possibility of me buying the game until it becomes 30$. Getting NFS MW now.
Worst game of the year
They fooled us with the idea this would ever be a good game.
Vita has a few great games but big name crap like this will bury it.
I have a feenling you guys haven't even played the game but yet judge it. Pay attention to some user reviews and see what they have to say, it's been alright comments so far.

No its not. It is from "gamers" who are really enjoying the game and see it for what is is, not what thr console version is. Its all perspective. This is a hamdheld game and should be reviewed as such. In fact it has way less problems than the ps3 game but that version gets a pass.
Maybe if you guys try it instead of just blindly listening to strangers who get paid to do reviews you would know that it is a fun game. It s flawed and is too expensive but if you can get it for 40 or less and you like cod or fps then get it.

There you go another guy who doesnt own his own vita or game with all the criticism. Just cirious what does you little brother think about the game. Also please elaborate why you think its pure garbage. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I would respect you if it wasnt just I played it on my little brothers vita and its garbage. How long did you play it for? Was the I nline not working? Are tthe controls bad? All these details would help other gamers understand your opinion more.
