GS:Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is a huge disappointment that does nothing right.
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
I was playing this earlier in the day. It's not that bad. Was having fun actually.
It's funny. When I read the bad...
"Short, aggravating single-player campaign No save feature in solo missions Dumb enemy AI Control issues exacerbated by dull, linear levels Buggy MP made even worse with too-small maps."
I thought I was reading a review for the first Black Ops game. I think I've been a fan of every single Call of Duty game except for Black Ops (with the exception of the save thing, but the missions are short on the Vita so really, what does that matter?). I'll never understand why that game had so much love from the critics.
I know some were let down by this game but I never intended to purchase at any point. It always looked like it was going to be terrible to me, and then it was. Back to Gravity Rush.
I don't understand why a company could mess up so bad. Way to try to make a product that could give the vita life. Ironically enough since in latin vita means life. It is not even close to being full of life with another crappie spin off off what could have been a great product. I'm sorry I just want the vita to take off. It's so frustrating to watch as Sony takes another blow.
Strange enough, everyone I know who has played it enjoys it. Guess they need to go back to the drawing board and put more work into their next one.
