Borderlands 2 on the Vita is so much better than I expected. Like holy shit, so much better.
Game does run around 25 FPS most of the time but it's still been easy to play sans one laggy moment. I'd say I'm pretty used to the Vita, so sprinting on the back touchpad's left side and melee on the other works great. The touch screen is for grenades and my special ability; grenades have been perfect so far but I've accidentally activated my special ability twice.
So yeah, this is a pretty decent port. It runs at a frame rate you will easily notice isn't 30 or anywhere as smooth as the console versions, yet it doesn't interfere with gameplay from the hour I've put into it (again, aside from one incident). The controls are fine for someone more accustomed to the Vita and probably with large hands like me, but they could easily be as awful to someone as well depending on how they feel about the back touchpad.
Still, I'm enjoying this and now I'm gonna open up Final Fantasy X HD for the Vita. These are good problems to have.
