While not without fault, Ragnarok Odyssey is a worthwhile entry in the action/role-playing realm, with gameplay mechanics aligned with the constraints of commute time gamers.
(PS Vita, Ragnarok Odyssey)
B-/A+
Nice review, sad to see this cell phone mentality embedded in people now.
When people think LittleBigPlanet Karting is what will save the Vita I truly question how many iphone games they have been playing lately.
The industry appears to be hurting so badly because people expect so much from games but at the same time they don't, if that can make any sense.
For instance that guy yapping on about the Vita having no developed games.. So he thinks a Karting game is going to prove the world otherwise?
Maybe you get it, I am saying how can you expect the Vita to do more when you're expectations for games are low in general. It just doesn't make sense and sadly most journalist seem to have the same stupid mentality.
They can review Angry Birds endlessly but if it's on the Vita and not like a console game.... all hell breaks loose.
It's not even people wanting to have their cake and eat it, too. They want their cake to be homemade, but they don't want you to use ANY ingredients or utensils.
Like the guys who complain about the Vita's sales while admitting it's a great system with great games, but won't get one until the sales pick up. Or the ones who say there are no games and then proceed to come up with reasons to disqualify every game on the system (except for a handful, sometimes) as counting.
I think it's a way to avoid the actual subject: they just don't want it to succeed. So long as they keep shifting the target, they can have an excuse that appears more substantial than that.
