@Scarab83 @IanNottinghamX yeah,I don't know if he gets to wash his hands of Cortana just because he didn't design her.

Sure, he doesn't have to go as far as directly calling his employers 'man-babies,' but he hasn't voiced any displeasure at the sexualization of Cortana at all.

Besides, he did say "Don't care if this gets me in trouble."

@rarson Hey, these things take time.

I think I'm pointed in the right direction now.

I'll go tweet about it.

I saw Quiet at the Microsoft Press Conference in July months ago.

I don't remember any controversy.

I saw Cortana at the Microsoft Press Conference the year before.

I don't remember any controversy.


I'm starting to not like twitter. This stream of consciousness bombardment of everyone's thoughts is just getting out of hand. It's like the 'reply all' email button cautionary tale multiplied by 1000.

It's weird, when I first saw the character, I didn't think twice about her.

Her character design is plain by MGS standards and down right un-noteworthy by overall video game standards.

I didn't even realize she was designed to be sexy.

When it comes to handhelds I totally agree. When it comes to consoles I've felt like an afterthought for years.

Sony, although not perfect, is desperately competing for my attention.

@raikuun People taking a shit is a huge demographic. Anybody would be wise to target that market.

@Senor_Kami Although you're probably right...

I'm hoping that the iPhone-like games, the indie ports, the upcoming titles, and the remote PS4 play is a way to drive Vita sales to the point of making it worth developing more substantial games for.

...and, yeah, Nintendo is the undisputed king of handhelds.

@grbolivar As cool as it would be to have the internet change its mind on the Vita, my real concern is 3rd party support. 3rd party support comes when console sales reach an acceptable number.

Hopefully the combination of upcoming titles, the indie ports, and the PS4 will catalyze sales to the tipping point.

...and portable FTL.

I love my Vita, but I had pretty much given up hope that it would be seen by the gaming community in a positive light.

However, with this new indie push and the possibility of FTL one day coming to the Vita with touch screen controls......

That probably wouldn’t be enough to put the Vita in a positive light, but man, FTL on the Vita would be awesome.

Hey, sometimes your opinion on a game is a statistical outlier. It happens to me all the time. This is the case with this review. If you already bought and enjoy the game, then ALL reviews, regardless of the score, are useless to you as a buying guide.

Sure, I'll admit, it's nice when a reviewer and I see eye to eye, but I don't expect that to always be the case.
