It does fight big ass monsters, but there is one big differentiating factor: It supports 8 players (right?). Freedom Wars definitely will have different emphasis and there will be more than just taking down big monsters. Perhaps there will be PVP too if it support 8 players mode.

Yeah it seems to be mechanically a very different game, even if it is in the same genre. I can't see how anyone can think it's a MonHun clone after seeing the trailers - same genre but different playstyle. I think it's good that the Hunting genre is taking off and giving birth to different games like this.
Playing Atelier Totori and like it very much. But I don't feel like I managing my time right. Is it good enough if I went to Iron Rank in 18th October of the first year?
The genre potential is great, and I relieved to see other games don't just simply copy-pasted Monster Hunter mechanics and gameplay emphasis but with different skins. It'll stale if all game within the same genre plays exactly the same no matter how good the original is.

So the fan is just kicking I later?
Or are you referring to it needing some time to break in and it will cool quicker?
Yup. Tecmo usually does a really good job when developing / porting games to the Vita. I think FW looks better than GE2 though. The latter has some aliasing, FW looks softer. And they have some effect (I dunno how to describe it) that makes them look a little shinnier than in GE.
Hope Sony releases Delta and it has a FW demo like in Japan
Or just give it away for free

EU PSN has pre-orders for FFX HD Collection for Vita and had Tearaway on pre-order as well.
In North America? No.
One Piece: Unlimited World Red was announced for localization yesterday. In Japan it was a 3DS exclusive. In North America, and Europe it's coming out on PS3/3DS/Wii U/Vita. Europe gets a retail version on all platforms. North America only gets a retail version for the first two.
They're obviously not against supporting the platform in the west. They just do some weird things.
Toukiden had a PSN preorder in EU too, as well as bonus DLC for it.

Dragon Ball Z also was released on both Vita and PS3 in west by Namco.
So 2014 seems like improvement on Namco side.

Hey man, I'm usually posting from work pretending not to be on the internet, or on my shitty Android peasant phone, my only excuses
Have you seen this?
I can't be the only one here at least renting this

People call those monster hunting games MonHun clones for a lack of a better name for the genre. I can't think of a single one that plays anywhere close to MonHun.
I really, really want this game.

It's definitely a preference thing, as I love 2d games without filtering.

Every time you resuscribe to plus or extend your current plus sub, your plus downloads are pushed to the top of your download list.
I am really surprised no one tried to give the genre another name like Riot did with MOBA. How about CBR (coop boss rush)?
Maybe because none of them can really rival MH in popularity.

At this point Even I would be pissed if I encounter that problem. Have you tried making a fuss at Twitter or at the EU (you're in the UK right?) blog posts? I don't want to be sorry to you since it's like rubbing salt to the wound so Fight on!?

Is that promotion spend 60$ get 10$ back, active and confirmed ?
Asking because there's no blog announcement and nothing on PSN store...

Capcom lists the genre for Monster Hunter as "hunting action". Only three people (I counted) on the internet actually use that term.
Writing them as "MH clones" is definitely easier than "hunting action".

It may be up once the store updates...if it does so at all.
I think bilinear on for 3D games and off for 2D games.
As for the colour space, ON dims the contrast so it looks more like a PSP screen, so it depends if you want dat OLED goodness or just the LCD peasantry.

Hey vitagaf, planning to buy Sorcery Saga, pretty cheap as of now. Is the game any good/fun?
Looked at it aswell, as I like dungeon grinders, but got a bit turned off by the idea of losing all your levels each time you leave a dungeon.

Each time? The only game I've ever played that did that was that Mana game on PS2 and i did not at all like it. Is the content/story at least good and worth a purchase?

Has anyone reached out to Yoshida on twitter to find out?

Does that include me? Update that to four.
The west isn't ready for this genre.
I remember GAFfers talking about this game and said it's an MH clone.
Kirito: dem those MONSTERS. Imma poke them with my gunlance"
"XXX-clone" terms will always tend to be detrimental to discussions due to the connotations they bring.
It's cute and unfortunately that's about the highest complement I can give it. I'd say it's kind of a grind but for a rogue like the difficulty is really easy. I cleared nearly every dungeon without dying. The characters are terrible, the plot goes nowhere, and most of the dungeon crawling has a load of half finished ideas.
That being said, for some reason I still really like it... Its cute, even if the story elements that go nowhere have a tendency to overstay their welcome by a factor of 10. If you can find it cheap enough I'd actually recommend it as there's a surprising amount of enjoyment to be had from the game; seemingly in spite of itself for reasons I can't quite discern.
Warning though, the last dungeon is pure bullshit.

Well me and another gaffer(was it suppa or someone else?) only has harsh words for the game. With that gaffer saying something to the tune of quote:"Time and Eternity is a masterpiece compared to this garbage".
But if you want a cutesy game with pretty simple story and cardboard cutout characters, go for it.
Found the quote:
I feel I should play Time and Eternity now. If only as a palate cleanser.

It's weird that I'm waiting for Project Diva F 2nd first before I buy f's DLC. I'm almost sure I'd buy them since there's only two more unannounced song left.
Where the fuck is my Haku?! Left as DLC again?
P.S. I'd be laughing and crying so hard at the same time if one of the two unrevealed songs is ray performed by BUMP OF CHICKEN feat. HATSUNE MIKU.

I'm the opposite. I always turn it off. I don't like the blurry look at all.

Of course, it went up a few days ago!
No, it's not officially up yet. Still no PS+ prices. :/

Yup.
Although, he seems too busy retweeting gifts from the Dark Souls II team. Shame, there used to be better communication from him.
Weird, do you have a PS3 you can download to?
I have not. The PlayStation twitter originally said yesterday for the update, buy that obviously didn't happen.

I had to contact Sony yesterday because the PS+ price on the NFS games wasn't showing up and I wanted to get Hot Pursuit for my brother.
The guy insisted that the store was updated. Gosh, how I hate Costumer Service.

Really? Heard TaE was pretty bad enough. Kinda stepping away from buying it now.
And im back to where I was. I suppose my best course action is to wait for the game to be a bit more lower, like around $10. Btw, what makes the last dungeon so horrible?

Has the PS4 store updated to reflect the PS+ discount on Towerfall yet? I can't check from work, obviously..
Nope.
