Vita Thread

[Don Flamenco]

the vita browser needs a "ctrl+F" search function.  I use it for FAQs all the time and it's annoying to always scroll through a huge FAQ from the top.

Wake-up Club is a piece of shit. It doesn't work. Tried it in Sleep Mode and the next day I just left it on, no dice. SMH

Something to please Vita fans ,stolen from gaf

Monster Hunter Franchise "Handheld" Exclusive for 3 Years on 3DS

Apparently the original source for the DQ7 rumor: http://club.tgfcer.com/thread-6398778-1-1.html

1. 7th entry of a famous RPG for the 3DS.
2. 3DS revision.
3. Something about a contract between Nintendo and Capcom saying no MH on other handheld systems for 3 years.

Also, this was in 2010 from the same person: http://club.tgfcer.com/viewthread.php?tid=6266776

- Rumor about MH3 on the 3DS.

[Don Flamenco]

all i can say to that is that Capcom is lazy and can't be bothered to learn how to develop on the Vita correctly. 

[maxy]

I think I heard this 3 year thing some time ago somewhere else,not sure where...hmm

[Huff]

Vita fans having a hard time understanding that even if/when the 3 years is up, nintendo could bid and win another 3 years. not like they need monster hunter at this point.

[DCharlieJP]

Huff, I mentioned this in the other thread but the Nthing flipside is that they are failing to understand that even if the Vita still has an awful user base that as long as they put enough cash on the table it doesn't matter - vita would get its MH.


That said - this all just means there's an exclusivity option expiring - come on MS, get in there for a proper next gen console version ! Lol

[DCharlieJP]

all i can say to that is that Capcom is lazy and can't be bothered to learn how to develop on the Vita correctly.

Well, the biggest improvement we have seen in years is the work on the 3ds version - and they outsourced that game ! loool - and then did the up port to WiiU themselves (which is a bit of a mixed bag)

[Huff]

totally. i don't see why nintendo wouldn't bid again. not because they need it but to keep sony in the handheld graveyard. and if wiiu keeps tanking hard, they are going to need the 3ds and whatever comes next to be not only top dog but the only dog

According to some people here MS is getting it. MH on WP8 incoming.

[cool breeze]

a microsoft exclusive mainline monster hunter would result in maximum schadenfreude

if only microsoft still cared about the japanese market  :'(

That better be a steam deal, because who the hell would want to play mh on gfwl? I'm afraid to drop money on super 4 for that very reason

yeah, MS exclusivity would make zero sense.  the game's biggest market is on handhelds in Japan, which has fuck all to do with MS.

I think only one dude (XFE) is believing that and he must be joking for sure.

He just wants a good HD Monster Hunter, not the garbage port shit that will end up on a Nintendo console

[maxy]

IIRC,this thing was about Andrex being laughed out for saying that MS will not bid for MH.Handheld MH is not leaving 3DS anytime soon,but console MH...hmm

Take in mind that MS has been negotiating exclusives for the past two years.

[FoneBone]

Yeah, but the big caveat (if this is even true) is that that assumes that, whenever this deal expires, Sony is still willing to pay through the nose to attempt to save Vita.  I don't get the sense that they're even willing to do that now.

Sony sells the Vita to MS, who relaunches it as the Xbox Surface Mini, with Halo 4 Portable and Monster Hunter 4 HD as launch titles.  :geoff

[DCharlieJP]

I swear sometimes you having basic comprehension issues - I never said anything of the sort.

But please also note that there is ALREADY an X360 console exclusive Monster Hunter - I'm surprised a series fan like yourself would have missed that fact 

MS exclusivity would make zero sense

MS don't have to bid for a handheld version nor then would capcom have to lose out on their other sales. HD upgrades of the existing handheld games sell like ass - but we know the Wii game sold over 1m here and around the same in the states. So just give me my dream and force lazy cap com devs to spunk out a -true- HD monster hunter (which would require MS standing over them with whips of course...)

[maxy]

Not sure why he is so invested into this series...

[DCharlieJP]

Because its renting a condo at Nintendoville ?

As discussed before "into the series - but will only play the entries on Nintendo platforms" is closer to reality

[maxy]

3DS has a lock on it for a long time and console MH is not some huge 20 million seller in the West(so WiiU can take the West by storm).

So why oppose to sharing something with the rest of us?

That is just plain mean :'(

I really don't care who MH goes to. Hell, give the Vita MH. All I care about right now is 3U and I'm glad I'm able to play it.

Lol, keep believing that.

We've been through this and you end up admitting it in the end - do we have to do the same dance again or should we just point to the previous discussion?

As for the roll eyes - I'm sorry that I don't share your belief that a poor performing mildly polished stuttering port of a 3DS game is a true HD Monster Hunter - then again, i guess I just lack that Nthing gene where "almost good enough by some arbitrary benchmark from the past" is something I can settle for. Or it might just be that I'm just wanting some truly huge improvements - I'm sure as this will be your 2nd Monster Hunter experience that you aren't that bothered for an upgrade where as for me the Wii U outing is number -eleven- - oops, 12 (forgot the 3D enabled and unwavering 60fps in non-3d 3rdP 1080p up port that Sony did for Capcom - shame about the UI and bugs). "into the series" and all that

This gen I would have been pleased with a HD monster hunter game that looked like this



But now the bar is going to go up again once next gen finally gets shown off in the near future. I know I'm kidding myself but a lazy CapCom married to a lazy Nintendo is basically this :



I mean - have you seen MH4?! It looks worse than MH3G ... How much effort does it take?! Or maybe that's on purpose so they can easily port to the PSP - I put nothing past these lazy fuckers

[Tasty]

We've been through this and you end up admitting it in the end - do we have to do the same dance again or should we just point to the previous discussion?

The previous discussion where told you I'm a MH fan now and that the rest doesn't matter? I don't know why this is so hard for you to accept.

I wonder if people gave MGS fans shit for not playing the 8 bit games, Jesus.

[Smooth Groove]

Does Dragon's Dogma look that good?  I played the opening part on the PS3 for 10 mins and it looked like crap.

[archnemesis]

The PS3 version isn't graphically impressive at all.

[DCharlieJP]

And the distinction is that you will by your own admission only play the entries on Nintendo hardware , right?

So - as i said "into the series - but will only play the entries on Nintendo hardware" - so I will keep believing that.

Or , gasp, are you now going to go multiplatform?

I'm not giving you shit in the same way as your MGS example - I'm pointing out in a recent time frame you could have , like others, played Monster Hunter on at least three other platforms. You didn't and got into it on the Wii which is fine - the beef comes from the low standards : it's all new and shiny to you, it's not to people who have played the franchise since the first game. So theres a distinction and thus why it's painful that capcom continue to put as little effort as possible in upgrading the game visually/technically.

[Tasty]

And the distinction is that you will by your own admission only play the entries on Nintendo hardware , right?

I started playing the series with Tri, so yes so far. Unless there was some other MH game that was localized since Tri released that I'm unaware of?

[DCharlieJP]

so - again - we are repeating the argument where you end up agreeing....

you will play 3ds MH, you will play Wii U MH...

... but you won't play Vita MH, or PS4 MH, or PS5 MH, or X720 MH ... right?

so , again, as i say - you are a fan of the series.... but you'll only play the Nintendo entries... yes or no?

again, i thought we'd established this : there's a difference between being "a fan of the series" -full stop- and a "fan of the series*"

[Cormacaroni]

err who cares

[Huff]

DC vs Andrex - showing the Catholic Church how its done

[bork]

err who cares

Yeah, enough already guys.  There's already a Monster Hunter thread that you've been arguing about it. 

[Tasty]

... but you won't play Vita MH, or PS4 MH, or PS5 MH, or X720 MH ... right?

Erm, no, incorrect. I wouldn't buy a system for a spinoff or an enhanced version of a game I already own but I would buy a system for say, MH5.

You must have missed when I put Tri in my 5 favorite games of this gen. For reference, Overkill Uncut, an enhanced edition of a game I played the shit out of and is also on my top 5 list, almost made me get a PS3. It's still  the deciding factor on me getting a PS3 over a 360.

[bork]

Continue your boring-not-as-good-as-PSO-and-lol-it's-perfect-for-nintendo-with-the-lack-of-online-multi-game talk here, please.

[Huff]

Mods finally halping

[Tasty]

Vita sucks.

[bork]

I'm butt-hurt and all I can say is "Vita sucks."

And yet it's still better than Monster Hunter!

[Tasty]

Anyways DC, I think you're wrong about me being a MH fan. I am one and you should just accept it.

[bork]

Anyways DC, I think you're wrong about me being a MH fan. I am one and you should just accept it.

Told you to knock it off.  Come back in a few days when you don't want to act like a naughty little monkey.

[Huff]

.

[Tasty]

Yeah DC he will totally buy a new system* for MH5

*developed by Nintendo of course

Silence! We're being told what we can and can't talk about and that's something we can't talk about.

[Shaka Khan]

Anyways DC, I think you're wrong about me being a MH fan. I am one and you should just accept it.

I hope this doesn't mean he's banned.

Banned for a day for idiocy.  He just wanted to fuck around with me since DC isn't online right now, I guess.  Will probably just lift it tomorrow morning.  I'm sick and don't want to deal with this shit.

[Shaka Khan]

Goddammit you guys, don't be this stupid. You can't continue baiting the kid then complain when he bites. Fuck this place, I'm out.

 (for a day)

[pilonv1]

See you next week himuro

oh wait

[bork]

Goddammit you guys, don't be this stupid. You can't continue baiting the kid then complain when he bites. Fuck this place, I'm out.

 (for a day)

I think you missed where he edited his post.  I told him to just post in the MH thread.  He and DC are arguing about this in like three threads.  Asked him to stop several times.  How hard is it to do that?   

[fistfulofmetal]

i don't own a 3DS thus i will never play 999 do i need to play 999 to understand VLR?

[Huff]

I think they explain what happened in 999 eventually in VLR but I haven't gotten there yet to see how good it is.

I would not recommend reading a summary, because that will just confuse the fuck out of you

[Damian79]

I think Andrex is certainly a MH fan... it's just that he is a system warrior first.

[bork]

Is there any difference between VLR on Vita and 3DS?  Guessing that the save bug isn't on Vita.

hopefully andy's learned to behave himself in topics bork is interested in.

 

[Shaka Khan]

i don't own a 3DS thus i will never play 999 do i need to play 999 to understand VLR?

I *think* it's possible to play and enjoy VLR without playing through 999 first (the game tries to supplement you with explanations and info files) but I don't think they're nearly enough. The connections are strong, especially when going after the true ending. If you're dedicated enough you can always watch a youtube walkthrough such as this:

[bork]

Does VLR have the same characters as 999?

Always wanted to try 999 but I just don't know if I can sit there with a mostly-text-only game for so long.

[Shaka Khan]

Yes, there are a few. That was Uchikoshi's plan even before the sequel materialized and any specifics were nailed down (returning characters + new ones). The same is also happening for the third game, as he already stated that 999's protagonist will be prominently featured, among other characters.

As Link Zelda Gannon once said in the VLR thread, 999 feels more contained and complete. That's mostly because at the time there were no plans for a sequel... VLR on the other hands ends on a serious cliffhanger. The whole game could be considered a prologue that sets everything up for the third game that will ultimately tie 999 and VLR together.

That said, VLR is still a great game that plays really well on the Vita.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

i wish we could just make one super thread for nothign but bad posts and bad trolls that way me and andy could let it all out

[fistfulofmetal]

I may wait a bit and see if the game ever goes up for PSN+

[bork]

Hmm...you have to play through 999 and VLR multiple times to see everything?  I don't think these games are for me.  I played through the Ace Attorney games once and that was enough.

i wish we could just make one super thread for nothign but bad posts and bad trolls that way me and andy could let it all out

Why don't you make one?
