Wouldn't just a 10 dollar bill be enough to throw at the screen XD? Glad you are happy with the sale, tons of killer games at steal prices (can't believe they are selling Batman Vita and Injustice for under 10 bucks.....)

Just imagine that as the collective amount of money that I've tossed at ATLUS over the years.
 
Oh hey, Persona 2: Innocent Sin is discounted the week after Eternal Punishment was discounted. Now I have P1 through 3P on my Vita (P4G was physical).

Any word on Soldner-X: Himmelssturmer? For $1 (normally $7), I'm tempted to check it out.

$3.50?! When was that?
I think July of 2012, because I remember buying Kenka Bancho & Riveria for cheap prices & that's the date listed on my account history.
 
So Rogue Legacy is going to be $16.99 for everyone without plus. What is up with that? There's nothing new about it right? I really wanted this but now I think I'd rather wait for a sub $8 sale.

Well it is new to the system. I don't think they were going to give it a base price lower than their PC version just because the PC one has been out for a little bit.

Oh, I would have not been bothered at all had the price been 14.99. It's just even with that slight raise it was enough to allow me to wait, especially since I'm getting TLOU R and Disgaea 4 vita.
 
Man I'm so hooked in Meruru Plus on my Vita, I can't wait for Totori and Rorona to go on sale so I can finish the trilogy.

The whole time management aspect of the game isn't that tough as some made it out to be, is it a pain in the other games?
 
It looks like Sound Shapes is about to get another piece of DLC. I noticed my 100% Trophy List has dropped to 94% today, and the pack is called Hohokum Art and Sound or something..
 
Is Injustice cross-save between Vita and PS4? Getting both since the prices are a steal, it'd be nice to switch back and forth though.

Totori Plus was the first game I played in the series and I managed to get the Normal ending on my first playthrough without any problem. Looking back I realize I wasted a lot of time and I could've been more effective.
I'm playing Rorona Plus right now (second game I've played) and I'm 5/12 through the game and it's almost too easy. You really learn how to be effective with the time given after you've played the series for a bit. You have no time meter on the field and the travel method is different. I've heard that Rorona is the most strict game in the Arland trilogy so maybe it'll ramp up later.
 
PSA: Stay away from Blackgate, the game has too many issues. Even at $4, it's a pass. The navigation and backtracking are horrible. I know $4 isn't a lot. But, this is a money versus time issue. It's simply not worth it.

Separate trophy list. I own the Vita version, and play my nephews PS4 version. I haven't seen a cloud save feature.
 
I just updated to a 64gig memory card on my Vita and I have to say, I am super impressed at how straight forward that is. I used my PS3, and it took about an hour and a half total to transfer all my stuff. Boom. Everything I ever claimed for my vita ready to play, complete with save data. With 33gigs spare. Magic stuff.
 
The only game I've pre-ordered on PSN is Child of Light, but I've forgotten, do they charge you immediately? I think I remember they do but I want to be sure.
 
Really digging Dragon's Crown right now. Playing it in coop with a friend is so much fun!
I hope Vanillaware will develop another game for Vita.. they look gorgeous on dat OLED.
 
Was going to buy Persona 1 & 2, Gungnir, and Hexyz Force, but I'm still playing P4G and have a ton of stuff lined up to play next. I'm sure they'll be on sale again -- it's Atlus.
 
The worst part is I have most of the ATLUS titles on PSP already, so my brain tries to justify double-dipping (especially when I have a brand new 16GB card ready).

Isn't a good reason to re-buy them being able to play them on Vita? Because it sounds like you got physical versions of the PSP games (which sadly cannot be played on Vita; you would think they would make an add-on that supports UMDs on Vita or something X(....), so getting a few of these for five bucks a pop sounds a lot cheaper then getting the games again at full price/close to full price on PSN.
 
Such a shitty port it's not even funny though, can't comment on blackgate

Injustice Vita is bad? Thought that with Armpature behind its development, it would be a smooth running port :l. Even if it isn't perfect, it's only 4 bucks, so it running not super great isn't completely bad :D.

I did play a bit of Blackgate though and....its okay :l. The core gameplay is fine (heck I would argue it is quite fun; they did a great job translating the combat system from the PS3 games to the Vita/3DS game :D) but the actual level designs leave a bit to be desired :(.

From something behind Metroid Prime, these locations are very boring looking and tedious to explore :(; the prison looks so bland and lifeless (I guess 'Generic' is the proper world here; it looks nice but doesn't do anything special) and the character models (notiby the other prisoners) looks very odd.

The music too is lacking, as there is no ambant music; when a fight scene is over, all that is left is silence until Batman finds something/beats something/solves the puzzle (when a music jingle or the fight music starts).

I like the game despite these issues though and for there first original game after leaving Nintendo, it is far from a bad one :D, just a bit bland here and there. I'm sure it will get better the more I play of it :).
 
I'm kind of tempted by Bomberman w/ Animals and Seraphim on PSM. The latter looks pretty neat, but the screenshots make it difficult to see how it plays.

Don't feel like looking in old threads for my really old mini review on it a few months back, but the framerate is just disgusting, and we all know a bad framerate in a fighting game is just terrible especially when things get hectic(especially the bg destruction they should have toned down but it is almost the exact same as consoles) and the game turns to slow motion. Don't even get me started on MMH slowdown and Online but I guess it's fine to play through story one time even though that audio and video is super super compressed to hell and back. Otherwise buy the PS3/360 version instead(even though PS3 has minor framerate issues here and there). It's actually playable
 
Okay, I've got 15 psn bucks, what should I get? Assume I own nothing. Unless it's been on ps+ this year.

Well, if you have a PS3, you really should give Infamous FoB a shot :D. You don't need to own Infamous 2 but it uses those games machanics and one of its three city districts to make a really fun game. You become a vampire and have the ability to fly in the sky as a swarm of bats, have a good 3-5 hours of story content, stuff to collection, and a full-on mission maker (which lets you play missions others created or make them yourself). It is a great game that you should give a shot if you have the slightest interest in the Infamous series :).

I would also recommend Arkham Asylum if you don't own that yet too. For only four bucks you will be able to play the best superhero game of the last generation. Think of that as what would happen if Metroid Prime was crossed with awesome melee combat and Batman, and you are set for some great gameplay. Lots to collect and unlock, best story of the Arkham series thus far, the latter missions are really great and the gameplay is the perfect system for Batman. Get this is you never played it before, you will love it :D!

For Vita, I would recommend Batman Blackgate. I just got it myself and only played a little of it but for it's current 4 dollar price point, it is worth it :). It isn't a perfect game and it has some issues (backtracking seems to be very annoying and the game feels.....stiff? I think that is the right word for it) but for 3D Action game series to be translated to the 2.5D world, I think Armature did well with that they had to work with :D. The combat is fun so far, the graphics are very nice on the Vita screen and the world seems to be filled with things to see and find. Worth its cheap price now :).

If you are interested in the PSP stuff.....I really can't help you there sadly :(. While I love Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden, the first two games are so different from them I can't really give a fair option on them :(. From what I gather, they are games with similar themes to P3 and P4 but with completely different gameplay mechanic (I think its controls like a SRPG game?). They are good though, so look them up online if you are interested.

I hope this helps :D

Man that sounds bad and I already got the game X(. I did play games with iffy frame-rates before in the past and I tend to button mash in fighting games anyway, so I guess the frame-rate won't be that bad in my book :l. Thank you for the information though :D.

Yeah I kind of thought this was also going to be out for Vita (Rogue Legacy), but I can only seem to find PS3 and PS4 in the store. I don't know why it is a few dollars more, but it releasing the same day as TLoU and not being on Vita means I'll be waiting on a sale too.

Yeah. I am especially eying Hexyz Force and Knights in the Nightmare, as I have more than 30 hours poured into those games on my PSP.
 
My screenshot is at the top of r/vita right now (not submitted by me). Pre-loading on American Vitas might actually be a thing then. :o

When were we able to pre-order Tearaway, Killzone, FFX etc.? (this has to be yuro/nippon land right?)

I have never seen a game to pre-order directly from PS Vita in the US Store.

Never. SCEA didn't even mention the Vita version of Rogue Legacy in its store update post.

Which game should I start up next Rorona or Totori?

Kid Rorona is so adorable >__<
 
Made a crack at Tyrone from Nicalis on Twitter today about 1001 Spikes still not being in Europe on Playstation. He said they're still waiting on ratings. Shit is taking way too long, and I seriously fear for the same thing happening to Isaac. :/

Anyway whoever is taking forever on this needs to hurry the fuck up.
