TGH Writes: "When Ragnarok Odyssey was first announced all big time RPG loves that owned a vita were ecstatic. I myself couldn’t wait to get my hands on what looked to be an amazing game that you could play on the go. Now that it’s on store shelves is Ragnarok Odyssey worth your time and money or should you just wait for the next RPG to hit Sony’s troubled handheld?"
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "With the sad but expected news that Sony is finally discontinuing production of PlayStation Vita hardware worldwide (combined with the earlier news that cartridge production was stopping in the west), it marks what will likely be the final chapter in the extraordinary journey for this little handheld that could. Despite its own creator rapidly withdrawing development support, third-parties cancelling projects left and right, and more internet negativity than I've ever seen for a console, it just kept trucking on - delivering a brilliant gaming experience for anyone willing to give it a shot.
So in light of this news I wanted to deliver a brief retrospective to what has become my favourite gaming machine ever, looking back at all the things it has done so well throughout its life, alongside a short look at what its final year might hold from here. While it's sad to see the Vita finally reaching the end of its life, there have been so many brilliant experiences along the way that I want to celebrate these here - and I know I've (personally) got many more years of enjoyment to come thanks to my backlog too!"

The sad reality for those naysayers is that it doesn't lack games at all. In fact, the Vita has some truly entertaining games that were release to little or no fanfare thanks to the console's utter lack of visibility in the market.
So, if you haven't got a Vita yet, consider the ten games we've listed below. You might not even realise these are available on the console, but if you pick one up and grab these games to go with it, you'll quickly realise just how good the Vita can really be."
Oh hell no I know ragnarok odyssey is not in this list lol
To each their own but I seriously hated that game
i need to get that atelier totori plus, ASAP! because starting next month to october ill be buying a lot of new release vita games, that i might forget this
i wish there is a retail for this game :(
Get this:

It's a new indie game that is available on PS Mobile. Sorry, this is all I could find of the game on Youtube.
Furthermore, I'd advise you check out "LONE SURVIVOR" when it's out which is yet another survival horror Indie game.
I can't wait to see what's in store for the Vita at E3 2013!
I don't agree with this list! This author has bad taste. The only good game on this list is Silent Hill Book Of Memories! Now that is an awesome game.a game worth buying indeed.
New screenshots from Ragnarok Odyssey Ace show Niohoggr, one of the added monsters in the Game Arts’ PS3/Vita game.
I wish it was more like Ragnarok Online, and less like Monster Hunter... I really thought it would be a RO with a great battle system. The only Ragnarok things in this game are Porings and references to RO cities.
I've found it great in short bursts... 15 to 45 minutes. MH was to hard for someone like myself completely new to the genre, but this title seems easier for me to understand.
That said, it is lacking in customization as you noted and highly repetitive, sometimes in a bad way.
This game is less than average? It's not even mediocre? I doubt that.
Sad thing is because of stupid reviews like this developers are all throwing in the towel. Now Gunho is going to mobile games.
The game is great for what it is, people have become so spoiled and expect everything to be the same as the last game they made or to be perfect the first time. It is really getting annoying.
Or in the Vita case every game that comes out is compared to console games for some stupid reason. Get over it, the Vita is not a console.
It is ridiculous some of the reviews Ragnarok Odyssey has gotten while others have rated it very high and those reviews have made much more sense going into great detail about the good aspects of the game and the bad.
These bad reviews really don't go into much detail at all other than sounding like you don't generally play MMO's. Which is fine, you don't like MMO's don't play Ragnarok games because they are based off of an MMO.
I also notice it sound like most the bad reviews all tried to copied IGN's review.
Anyone who has played any previous Ragnarok probably didn't expect much different, I know I didn't.
I mean Ragnarok Online is still a very popular game and that is by far the most repetitive game I have ever played but still one of the most fun RPG I have ever played as well.
At least in this game the characters differ greatly from each other, in Ragnarok Online you practically played the same damn character forever until you could actually use better skills which took a long ass time, god forbid you actually wanted to make a new character name or look, have fun starting all over again doing the same crap you did forever again, still I enjoyed that game so much.
I beg to differ about the armor and weapons, I have seen a vast variety of Armors and weapons that I have yet to even come across in the game.
The game hasn't even been out a full week and you are complaining about lack of gear? Does that make sense to anyone else? Maybe you should actually play the game longer then judge once you have actually seen all the gear and weapons. Sounds much more logical to me.
Hell I even had this Lagu Executioner on another save file, that I still cannot find on my new save. It is obvious good weapons and armor aren't easy to get, so why expect that you have seen it all?
Anyway those who own the game are enjoying the crap out of it except those few MMO haters who had no idea what they were getting into when they bought it which is their own fault.
Sorry the game does not make it shit simple for you to find the best and coolest looking gears.
I really don't believe it should get this bad of a rep though it just shouldn't.
I also don't find this game as repetitive as others I have played in the past, it is practically a dungeon game and every dungeon game I have played works practically the same way.
So again I feel those who really are hating this game generally don't like games like this to begin with and had no idea that is based off an MMO.
such mixed feedback.. I dont care cuz i will be opening my Mercenary Edition & playing it for myself as soon as i finish Liberation.. I no doubt will enjoy this title because i love rpgs & the game looks really cool..
