Edit: why am I awake at. 2:28am commenting on this?

Personally I thought the review seemed pretty fair. It didn't sound overly condescending simply because it was on a handheld. The complaints seemed pretty valid
Ok so completely off topic but is there anywhere on GAF to advertise my youtube channel? That sounds way dodgy but it's honestly because you are my target audience and would have the best feedback.

Yeah, Gravity Rush seems like a lot of fun from the demo, but I hear it's very short. Definitely not a $40 purchase for me. Same with Uncharted.
Anyone?
Alex hates Assassin's Creed, so that'd be a negative.Probably:
+It's Assassin's Creed
-It's Sony
-It's on Vita
-I had to actually use a Vita
-More points off for being on Vita
-I had to take time off from playing my 360 to actually use a Vita
-It's not Halo
1/5
I believe if you are from Canada, by clicking on the buttons somewhere there's a chance to win free games and stuff. If I'm not mistaken, both Zeer0id and Takao gave away codes to get $10 off Declassified. Not sure on the finer details

Yet to play it myself though, so we'll see
The codes are unrelated to this thing. I still have mine, btw!

Just read giantbomb review of AC, seems the main negative was the way the story was told being sort of misleading and having to find some hacker to give you the truth.. ok
Is it fun? How is it holding up for you guys, hope it is good. Just basically 'wasted' the whole day on NFSMW!
it's from http://holidaybutton.com
this promo SCE Canada is doing, click a lot, maybe win a game, get entered into a grand prize draw.
I actually did win a game, lol, but I have no idea what it is. Probably won't until it arrives in the mail who-knows-when.
It tells you and has you fill out a form
First paragraph: "Playstation Vita is shit."
And conclusion: "The game is not well adapted to handhelds"
Shaking my head, seriously.
that's... a stretch
Well, he don't say that Vita is shit, but he really don't like "console-like" experiences on Vita. Because they never can be exactly the same as in console.
Is quite a stupid argument.
Liberation is a game you'll want to like. Its protagonist is an intriguing one, and her mission frequently teases greatness. But it never quite arrives, due to the developers' inability to marry the "full-fledged" Assassin's Creed gameplay to the Vita's form and function. There is undoubtedly a happy medium out there somewhere for this series on handhelds.
I'm pretty sure that's not what he was saying at all. He basically said it was a valiant effort but it failed more often than it succeeded in reaching that supposed holy grail.
This isn't blaming the hardware.
If the PlayStation Vita does not develop into a successful handheld platform, then one need only look to a game like Assassin's Creed III: Liberation to understand why. Liberation is emblematic of many of the problems with Sony's technically advanced handheld system. At first glance, it looks astoundingly good, like the true realization of a console-quality experience on a handheld system. Then you dig further into it, and realize why maybe that's not such a great idea.

Still, traversing Liberation's lavishly recreated New Orleans can be a lot of fun. The controls for jumping, swinging, and climbing around the game's scenery are responsive and intuitive, and the city just looks flat-out great. Streets and corridors might be a bit narrower than what you're used to in this series, which sometimes can make fights against soldiers a bit of a pain (mostly due to camera placement), but I never felt anything but joy darting around the city like a bad ass assassin.
Okay, the point Alex was trying to make (one which I subscribe to) is you need to leverage the Vita's strengths in an appropriate way. What's "not such a great idea" is attempting to make a console-like game on the Vita, but leaving it half-baked because it's on the Vita. If you're going to do it, you have to do it right. I have not played AC3L so I can obviously speak in generalities alone, but it appears to be a game that was ambitious in the wrong ways, and failed due to the inherent limitations of the Vita. That's not a knock against the Vita or handhelds in general, but the design decisions made within the game.
It's ultimately just his opinion, however, and some may appreciate those decisions more than he.
