Vita Thread

[Don Flamenco]

heh, it's funny being on the losing team but loving the system.  it's also funny they are ditching BC on consoles but that BC is the only thing making this thing worthwhile at the moment.   I can't even trick myself into liking most of the full retail original games on the system.  Uncharted, Gravity Rush...shit's straight up ass.  Maybe soul sacrifice is good, but i've got plenty of stuff I'd rather play. 

It's getting lots of good little PSN games though.  I'll be on Hotline Miami and that space shooter that was a mini but is now a full game.  the trailer made it look pretty ingenious.

I haven't gotten into Soul Sac at all since the demo - i just haven't had the urge to play it.  Uncharted i thought was way better than people make out, yet Gravity Rush just didn't click with me though i still need to go back to it. Miku F is stupidly good - i have no idea why i didn't play it sooner, PBS2013 is incredible as a handheld game.... aaaaand i'm stopping there before it becomes a list post.

I would agree with the notion though that most the good stuff on the Vita can be played on a console - and that's an issue. It's not had -and may never get- that machine making game. I'd say a truly customised-for-portable GT game is about the best shot Sony has and , to be honest, unless it's part of a big surprise package at E3 then not announcing it with GT6 seems to put that one in the ground.

Miku F would be something i'd try if it were like $10 on U.S. PSN. 

If they're serious about keeping this thing alive, and they should be if they want to promote PS4 connectivity in a serious way and not as a knee-jerk response to Nintendo (who is not deserving of a response atm), they'll get a GT game on there eventually. 

Stuff being playable on console hasn't been much of an issue for me-- i'll still play the Vita versions, except for something like MVC3.   but i realize in the greater context it's a problem. 

[magus]

you didn't play miku f sooner because you are not a skeevy pedophile otaku, dc

 :'(

I am just a late to the party skeever :/

Game is an excellent fill in for Ouendan - the music starts to get less grating after a while and theres a good number of songs

If your kid was obsessed with Miku, you'd think differently, I'm very sure. 

God I hate Miku

Let the music into your heart:

did they really put nyan cat music in a commercial game? or is it a fanmade video?

[MyNameIsMethodis]

is technika tune any good? I love normal DJ Max but i forgot one came out for Vita

[Don Flamenco]

New Vita game omg omg

Freedom Wars...freedom wars...man, that name sucks. 

it was called Panopticon before, which is a much cooler name.   

here is what it looks like:





supposed to have search+rescue + monhun elements?

[Rufus]

Looks like Monster Hunter with search+rescue elements.

[demi]

is HOT SHOTS GOLF good for Vita? It is $10 at Tigerdirect...

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Yes

[Joe Molotov]

Yeah, it's awesome.

[thisismyusername]

is HOT SHOTS GOLF good for Vita? It is $10 at Tigerdirect...

Yes. And if you get online at certain prime-times the online will be pretty active. Granted, in "tournaments" only and not in stroke/real-mode rooms, but still... Totally worth the $10, even the DLC is pretty worthwhile.

[Trent Dole]

lol oscar really fucking hates miku

[demi]

Dont really care for online. It is a good single player poop on the toilet game?

[Joe Molotov]

It's basically a full-fledged console-sized golfing game, but handheld. If you liked any of the other HSG or Mario Golf games, you'll love it. Tons of shit to level-up and unlock.

[brob]

Is Hatsune Miku really a "her", shouldn't it be "it"?

it's a computer program and not a voice actress, right?

[brob]

Oh, it's a proper fiction character? I thought  Hatsune Miku was the name of the vocal synthesizer program and japan was just being japan promoting the promotional loli or whatever.

[Joe Molotov]

Miku is "an android diva in the near-future world where songs are lost."

[Trent Dole]

I think that's just the storyline in the stupid PSP rpg she's in, Joe. She's a voicebank made from some va.

[thisismyusername]

If you like arcade golf like Pangya, then yeah even offline it's good. Challenge mode is pretty hard for a bit until you "click" with the golfing itself and then it becomes pretty damn fun. Going for the crowns can be challenging as well (but you have to look those up online as you have to beat the alternate vs matches to get those to show-up in game, which is AFTER you already have beaten the game) if you go for those while going through the game.

It can be a little... "grindy" in terms of getting unlock points and getting loyalty but it isn't that bad (8 18-hole rounds will Max level 4 all characters basically).

I like it, and the DLC courses can be pretty challenging. I spent $20 max from PSN sales of it and the DLC bundle for PS+ and don't regret it.

[Verdigris Murder]

Looks like Valkyria Chronicles.

HOW IS THIS A REAL SONG

HOW CAN ANYONE MAKE IT THROUGH 3 MINS OF NOTHING BUT NYANYANYANYANYANA


 

[Don Flamenco]

Have you ever gotten that sense of euphoria when you look at something and you just can't help but squeal on the inside? Like eating a favorite food or someone telling you that you look nice, or whatever. That positive, indescribable positive sensation that leaves you feeling all warm inside? That's what I get from looking at her. Its hard to explain what I see that gets me all riled up. If I could only let you borrow my eyes for but a spell....

Feels so damn good. I get a better high off cute anime girls than I could ever get off stuff like marijuane.

I love your avatar.

[magus]

i had no idea that song was related to miku at all,i mean it's a 30 second super repetitive loop,the exact thing i expect the internet generate like keyboard cat or that video about white/black people that's on the first page of the bore

Neither did I, but it's related to Miku in that someone made the song using the Vocaloid software.  It's not "official," although I have no idea how any of those Hatsune Miku songs you see in games or concerts () are user-created.

[hampster]

That Ratchet tower defense game finally came out. Did people like it? I can't remember what people said about the PS3 version

[Don Flamenco]

And she doesn't need to be paid and she doesn't age or have flaws.  Pretty ingenious shit 

[brob]

The glorious island nation of nippon

[tiesto]

Speaking of Miku, I just unlocked this one in Project Diva F, it's the most ridiculous song ever (also see below video for translation). Warning, the uguu is high in this one, probably not as high as the Mugen Souls intro though.

so this is what a headache sounds like....

Class of Heroes 2 is out on PSN June 4th, if you bought one of those Vic Ireland specials, we will apparently get a code a couple days prior (depending on when they actually get the codes).

Wow, that looks really crappy. I actually thought it would be a decent RPG.

Is it sad that near 1:30 I just realized she was just saying nyan constantly? 

[Vit-Symty]

Wow, that looks really crappy. I actually thought it would be a decent RPG.

What made you think that? The Valhalla Knights series is known to be pretty subpar.

I also find it laughable to see Marvelous AQL sugarcoating the shittiness by adding a stupid amount of gratuitous titty fan-service in an attempt to attract more sales. Totally backwards, defeatist progression. Just spruce up the graphics a tad and throw in some tits because that's the best they can do. Fucking muppets.

That's been going on for years, sadly.

[DCharlieJP]

the game isn't as good as the PSP games as the structure is a little changed and there's way less customisation - it also has some major issues with course design in the very late stages of the game (might have been patched?) where some holes basically become almost impossible if the wind isn't favourable.

It's good, but it could have/should have been better.

is the ps3 one any good? i had a blast with one of the ps2 one (i can't remember which one... it had a world tour mode)

I like how the trailer shows like two minutes of tits and titty touching, but 15 seconds of actual game play.   

If you're gonna do tits n' ass, do it right- Senran Kagura actually has a good game under that stuff.

[DCharlieJP]

ps3 and vita version are the same (HSG6) - i felt a bit let down by Ps3 HSG5 as it was still saddled with a lot of the online issues.

[thisismyusername]

To be fair though: HSG6 is just HSG:Open Tee 3 in mechanics. HSG5:OOB is the last "console"/non-Open Tee mechanic based HSG.

And HSG5 has Sackboy, so it edges out in terms of favorable for me. They need to port Sackboy, Toro, and Kratos to HSG6 for me to completely drop HSG5.  :'(

There are plenty of interesting B and C tier RPGs. If they just implement an interesting battle system, loot or stats then I can have fun even though the other parts are sub-par. Even very basic RPGs, like Candy Box and Parameters, can be surprisingly great time wasters.

Does anyone actually like Rayman? He just seems like some also ran mascot ala Bubsy that inexplicably refuses to go away.

i liked rayman origin,it's colorfull,fast paced and certainly more fuck were given about it than what they were given on NSMB

[demi]

I had my fill of Flash Rayman through Origins.

[Father_Brain]

Vita is a good fit for the game, but Murfy controls via rear touch? Ew.

That was the mind-blowing exclusive that SCEE rep was talking about?  :'(

[archnemesis]

The first Rayman game for the Vita was kinda fun, but I don't feel like I need to play another one for a decade or two.

Shahid on twitter? He creams his pants over anything. Honestly the more hyped he gets the more disappointed I expect to be

[mjemirzian]

Pretty cool, but not earth shattering.

Sony should stop messing around and moneyhat Monster Hunter already.

I played the demo of this and while they nailed the beautiful colours it feels like a glorified Flash game experience.

[bork]

I might try Rayman since I never played Origins.  But "glorified flash game" doesn't sound so hot.

That's not an exclusive game though.

[Powerslave]

^It's still 'Rayman' in the sense of gameplay and objectives but I couldnt help but feel because of the flash-like animation/graphics and the speedy pacing and design that it just feels like a sort of empty platformer. Certainly didn't sense that dense packed experience like Rayman 1 has.

for who?  japan?  Does that game do well in the west?   

Original content and quality ports of new games seem more important than chasing one niche series.

[mjemirzian]

Toukiden looks pretty good. Not sure about Yaiba Z but it can't be worse than Ninja Gaiden 3.. right?

[demi]

Yes it can.

[archnemesis]

Is Toukinden a hybrid between Dynasty Warriors and Monster Hunter or something completely different?

[Shaka Khan]

It's a Hunting Action game that goes as far as shamefully copying MH's UI.
