    That would have been the case if we compared a platformer to a fps,Here we are comparing a game that claims to have console quality graphics to game that actually has console quality graphics,So that analogy is quite useless in this particular case.

    Will a Vita make cellular phone calls for you?
    And no, Skype doesn't count.

    The vita is naturally a better gaming device because, well, it's designed to be a gaming device.
    The iPhone is not. It's designed to be a smartphone. Yet one that offers a lot more. Still not a dedicated gaming device though.
    So comparing Vita and iPhone is NOT comparing like for like.
    Apples versus Oranges if you will.

    Yes and skype does count.Anyway I'm not comparing a vita with a phone but an iphone game which 'claims' to have console quality graphics to a vita game which actually has them.Again a useless arguement that one.Also using a double negative there? No and doesn't together.Do you mean it does count then?

    Comparing a Vita to iPhone is not a like for like comparison.
    Mobile phone versus mobile gaming device, come on, seriously?
    Meeting adjourned.

    So if I write 'And No,I don't care' is it same as 'I don't care',What would that imply?Just curious here.

    Anyway I'm not comparing consoles here,I'm comparing graphics which are supposed to be comparable.

    I think it's ridiculous that the sniper with a 20 bullet mag is a 1shot kill while the bolt action is a 2 shot

    Yes,very simple and this is not even cheating or violating the game's rules.

    It would imply that the person you are responding to implied that you do care and that you are clarifying that in fact you do not care.
    Obviously.

    Yes. I'm not too sure what to make of it myself but it is certainly a one shot kill with some solid range.
    Combine that with the crosshairs and you've got a pretty difficult to beat class.
    I'm coming across it a lot more lately so I do expect it to be the next that people require nerfing of.
    Well, that and the full perk heavy.

    Makes sense since right now it's just not viable to get all 4 maxed on one account unless they add SP daily login rewards

    You guys, comparing MC5 on the IOS to Playstation vita games is ridiculous.

    Would you go in any other game thread on Touch Arcade's IOS section, and say the graphics of said game suck compared to the graphics on Killzone on PlayStation Vita? Probably not, and that's because the majority of these mobile games on the IOS look and play like... mobile games. Not Vita games, not Xbox games, lol.

    I feel like the graphics in MC5 are so impressive that people have forgotten it is actually a MOBILE game made for the iPhone, and are basing their arguments on the idea that MC5 isn't as good as other games on dedicated gaming platforms such as the VITA.

    If only some of you would take a step back and take in what MC5 really is; a rather impressive graphical achievement on the IOS platform, and realize that 99% of the games on the AppStore aren't even in the same league as MC5 (with a few exceptions... Nova, Monster hunter, ect).

    I do agree that MC5 isn't perfect and indeed it has some problems... If you've paid attention to this thread I have definitely posted plenty of complaints and/or suggestions. However looking at MC5 in a negative way by comparing it to something like Killzone:Mercenary on PlayStation Vita is absolutely absurd.

    Well, it seems its not possible just by reaching level 100.
    It does make the time limited events more important so I suppose that would be part of the reason for it.
    Other thing though is its not always necessary to upgrade all perks.
    On the ones where there is two upgrades, currently I'm only doing one of those upgrades to see how they work out in the end and see how far I can upgrade each class.
    I think, think but not sure, I can get to the final perk in each class if I skip the second of each two level perk in each class. I'm gonna try it out anyway.

    I would have a concern about that two account log in as it could lead to a ban because I believe its one save to one account so I would recommend against doing that for now if anybody wants to keep their save account.
    Can't be sure but I do believe its in the terms and conditions somewhere so breaking those can lead to deletion of the account I'd imagine.
    Be cautious basically.

    About the most reasonable and sensible post I've read here yet.

    Yes, obviously, yet you persist which does not denote that you do not care (psychology degree also). Quite the opposite actually.
    Still, nice try, just not quite there.

    Then why do gameloft market it to have console quality graphics?What console are they talking about? Vita?ps3?360?ps4?xboxone?3ds?

    @rip73 give it some time,I'll be there soon.I think you took that don't care thing out of context though it was meant to be just an example,unless this is some meta thing.

    Still, twas a good example to be fair:)
    You have to admit it contained quite a bit of ironic humour.
    Which was pretty clever. Intended or not, it was still quite clever.

    Marketing?

    I'd say it's equivalent to a PS3 in certain areas and PS2 in others.

    That's my problem,It's fake marketing an,d I fell for it.If you use that term 'console quality' then you are falsely hyping your product which falls very short of it.

    @Rip73 looking at it it was pretty clever actually it's a shame that it was unintended though.

    Actually they use "console-like graphics" which doesn't sound to me like "same quality as consoles" but more like "offering a similar experience" (on a mobile platform) which is a subtle difference I must admit, and certainly a marketing trick but not necessarily false advertising. It sounds to me like a particularly nice way of saying it's a dumbed-down version of a console game experience.

    Happened to me twice. You could send an email to GL CS like I did but in my experience it's just useless. Jst one more annoyance we have to deal with. :rolleyes:
