Akiba's Trip! How is the game? By far one of the titles I am most interested in that I know nothing about.
Why would i buy a bad game.
Aghhhhh. I pick... FF9? *gasp* !! Fuck THAT !! Ima buy the Tearaway OST !!
Haha. Madoka.Ever since FFX came out so many years ago, I dreamt of the day I could play it on a handheld system. And now it's happening. My inner child is bouncing off the walls.
$40
according to their twitter they have a patch coming in April along with a "bonus feature"
I finally started playing Broken Sword 5 and just finished the first area, here are some quick impressions.
The game looks good on the Vita's screen but the screen itself is a too small for the touchscreen controls. Many things things are next to each other so sometimes you hit the wrong one accidentially. Using your fingers also covers up stuff you are looking for. I don't understand why there isn't the ability to zoom and a fake mouse option like in Machinarium, maybe even include the backtouch.
You advance text by touching anywhere on the screen which often leads to skipped text which won't be repeated, very disappointing. Dialogue is handled by choosing pictures, whose dialogue content is not always obvious.
Overall, the UI isn't well done.
The speed of the game is a little bit too slow. It can be annoying to have to wait for useless character animations before you can interact with them and the dialogues sometimes seem too slow moving/long.
The puzzles so far weren't anything special, same as the dialogues. The overall story behind the picture is intruiging though.

I can't decide between Luftrausers and Steamworld Dig...When the PS+ prices get posted I'm afraid I'm going to cave on both
Wait, the PSN Store is being updated late AGAIN? Common Sony, people are paying for PS+ for Online for PS4 now, this crap should be fixed by now....
Either way, can't wait for the GTA sale to go live, as I will be able to play Chinatown Wars and either San Andreas or Vice City (will get others latter this week)
.
Been playing Tomb Raider 2013 on PS3 (thanks to plus) and am really surprised how good the game is. The controls feel great, the world is much more open than, say Uncharted (the game that this game is clearly trying to ape, which is fair considering Uncharted "ripped off" Tomb Raider first) and the combat is really fun (the bow is a lot of fun to use).
For anyone who didn't play Lone Survivor and Thomas is Alone, both are wonderful games and they play great on Vita; the former felling a lot like a proper Silent Hill is wonderful and the latter surreal vibe along with the narrator make it great as well.

; the former felling a lot like a proper Silent Hill is wonderful and the latter surreal vibe along with the narrator make it great as well.It's a lot of fun. Very solid beat-em-up with tons of weapons that completely change your fighting style when you equip them. Silver baseball bat is GOAT. I like that, apart from being able to heal yourself, you're pretty much just as fragile as the enemies, adding a little tension to fights. I'm looking forward to the English version too because goddamn, all that kanji. Can't wait.

I'm waiting for the plus discounts to get SteamWorld. If it doesn't get updated I won't have enough for the get $10 back deal. What a crock.
How's festival if blood? Never got it and I see it's still on sale.

I honestly don't understand what's so hard about uploading a game to the store and having the discount applied at the same time.
It does not take multiple hours to apply a sale price. Yet it happens every time.

It's a fun and short 3-5 hour distraction. Worth the $2.50 it's currently on sale for imo

Is there a reason why they don't update the store on tuesday at 12am or during the morning like 5 am?

Too logical.

Ooh so Borderlands 2 Vita is apparently playable at GDC? Hopefully we'll know whether it's a mess or not by week's end.
I would love to know why as of recently it is hard to get the Playstation Plus content to publish correctly on the store. Last week we had discounts not being active until days later and it seems like this week will be the same. I want to buy SteamWorld Dig to push me over the $60 spent in a week so I can get the $10 rebate but it's on the store now without the Plus discount.

I think I'll ring customer support tomorrow and refuse to put the phone down until they give me good reason for keeping my account banned, even though I've got the money I'm owed back :\ I'm in danger of missing out on the March PS+ content I've paid for if this keeps up.
I won't be following Sony conference since it will be late night here. I hope to hear good news tomorrow morning, when I'll wake up
I did one for Feb/March

Surely you mean transfarred?
So aggravating.

So with the Sony conference, any chance of Vita games being announced?
.001% if I had to guess.

are we sure they won't be? the store isn't close to finished updating and given they include digital FFX-2 with retail copies it wouldn't be surprising for them to sell them separately as well
No, this is about Sony's future.
They just want people to buy FFX/X-2 on Vita instead of PS3 - it is a timed exclusive on PSN.
Please buy.
Sucks that you gotta go around looking for those discounts because the actual deals page is always the last one to be updated.

wouldn't be the first time the store has wrong info but yeah that does make it seem unlikely

Vita-GAF, halp.
I want to spend another $20 to get the $10 credit. What are some Vita-only (as in not PSP, not PS Classic, etc) recommended games that are only available digitally? I already have every PS+ Vita game. I was interested in TxK, but I'd still like to hear what you guys have to say.
Thanks!

I bought TxK on release due to the hype that was surrounding the game
As much hype as a Vita only game can muster

Can you give some impressions? I want to confirm it isn't a shitty port before I get it.
