Seemed like the most appropriate platform for the game in the first place, I'll probably pick the Vita version up.

Huh. I was sort of on the fence about ever playing it, but I might pick it up on the Vita.

Excellent! I hope they do the same with WWI game they're making. It too uses the ubiart engine.

Oh that's nice news. Was about to pick it up for the xbox one, but this game seems like it would make a great handheld game.

I need to look into that, too. Honestly, we'll probably see it free on PlayStation Plus somewhere down the line.

I hope this doesn't mean I have to listen to Patrick lay into the game again on another Bombin'.

Oh well, the Vita is an excellent place for it. I wish it would've initially come out for Vita cause I would've preferred it there.

@fisk0: Game has its flaws, but it kinda makes sense for it to be on the VITA, Problem though is the small screen though. Curious how the game would look on a OLED display though.

I enjoyed Child of Light. I will get this version of game also to support what Ubisoft is trying to do.

Err, is there any game in existence that isn't flawed? Even my very favorite games of all time have issues that could be improved massively.

I mean, I get the context of what Patrick is saying here, but it just struck me now on how weird and nebulous calling something "flawed," is, when just about everything is flawed. Hell, I don't even think Child of Light's flaws are that big, biggest complaint is that it's easy, and yet most people refuse to crank up the difficulty because... that would be... an option?

Ah well, not a big deal either way.

Great, I'm glad I held off getting it for my PC. Now I can take it on my daily commutes with my Vita. Can't wait.

Funny just how quickly they turned on this game.

"Oh, this $15 download doesn't offer a deep, 40 hour storyline with complex gameplay mechanics? At least it looks pretty, i guess."

I played through it 2.9 times, it's a fine game for the price, unlike Gone Home (teh sick burn lolz)

Seems like it would be a great place to play it. I'll pick it up on here and have the added bonus of supporting a publisher who releases on Vita!
