Can you describe how the game works? I have really no Idea what I can expect from this game.

I just started the world where tilting was introduced in Metrico and my opinion of it has changed drastically. Oh my sweet jesus this is awful. Tilting fucking sucks. In. Every. Game. Ever. This shit better go away soon and not return. Man this wasa really good game up until this.
It's a puzzle platformer where the level structure changes based upon unknown variables like a timer, the number of jumps you make, the distance traveled, whether you're running or not etc. You have to figure out what the rules are for each level in order to make it to the end of a level.

Oooo interesting. Love it except the slowdown. Only at world 3.
Well, I'm not continuing on this game then. I refuse to use tilt controls as well. Ugggh
The only thing better is if they utilize both tilt AND rear touch screen at the same time! Hell, and also make it all front-screen touch controls too.
Fez and Proteus are Crossbuy, nice! Didn't think of that. Webstore says "your not eligable to download these", but once you "buy" Ps3/4 versions, they show up in your Vita-Download-list!
Metrico, Fez, Proteus. Superb Vita month!
Alltough I was very interested in the Swapper. Would have bought at 12,99+Plus-discount. But 14,99? Nope, thanks. I hate when Indies do that horrible $ Euro translation, not a thing I support. 14,99 would be too much anyway.

The wait for Phantom Breaker continues.

Cross-posting regarding this weeks Summer Sale in EU:
A little warning regarding Zen pinball 2.
Buy them (the tables for PS4) if you want, but since only the PS4-DLC is discounted you won't get the PS3 & Vita tables.
Cross-buy only works other way round for Zen Pinball 2.
I'll probably wait until PS3 or Vita tables are discounted.

The front touch and rear touch implementation in this game is actually pretty good imo. It's minimal and does the job it needs to given the mechanics. Tilting is the only issue I have with the controls so far.

You almost threw me into a blind rage before I saw EU.

I don't know about between regions 1 and 3 but I've tried using European DLC codes I got for free and they were incompatible with my account which is US. I was able to use them in a roundabout way by activating them on a separate European account on my PS3, but the game I was playing them with on my own US account was a European import to begin with.
Does Vita support multiple accounts? I never checked. If EU DLC doesn't work on your copy then you might try buying the American DLC on a US account on your Vita and seeing if it remains active while you play on your main EU account. That's basically what I had to do on PS3. No guarantees that would work.

I already had a physical Dragon's Crown so last night's PS+ release pushed me to dig it out so I can eventually co-OP with a friend. What a fantastic game. I'm addicted.
Also, per the sexualization of the game, I can see how some might be offended, but I'm not. I guess part of the reason is that I don't find any of the designs to be titillating. They're just hilariously and comically absurd.

The Duke dude you talk to eventually to has wrists thicker than his head. His head is insanely tiny if you look. Everyone's comical in proportions, the elf and wizard slightly less is all.
There's still some interest. I kinda just think Blizz waited too long to release it (as they usually do). People were dying for it at one point, but now The Last of Us is out and Destiny right around the corner... I'm sure some will pass on it now that would have gotten it a month or 2 ago.

A few? Loading every other puzzle seems to get major drops for a second, then gameplay is solid. Hoping it's ironed out. Doesn't harm gameplay in-puzzle, but it does harsh the experience and a lot of people already clearly have lot tolerance for "indie games".
I'm very excited for it, I never played Reaper of Souls on PC after spending quite a bit of time on Diablo III, and it's been long enough that I'm interested in playing through both on PS4 as much as I can.
Just that Counterspy comes out the same day, so I'll have to decide which comes first.
I've been looking forward to it since it was announced, love the PS3 ver.
But I'm getting the physical release.

Have they announced if they're going to support it post release yet?
Np, im always glad i could help by being obvious
Hm, anyone else having this issue?
I purchased Dragon's Crown for PS3 and Vita yesterday once they were available for free on PS+.
I checked again today, and they're not in my download list. They are in my purchase history. When I view them in the store, they're not listed as "Purchased" but "Free". When I try to re-buy them, it tells me that "You are not eligible to purchase or download this content."
Is this just an odd bug?

And it runs a lot better than the original 360 version, which was a XNA-powered sluggish mess. They recoded the entire game in C++ for the PlayStation versions.
Oh dear...the Kurisu DLC which was supposed to go up on the store today is missing in the update as well.
Variations of the same problem crop up often. I'd advise either waiting if the problem resolves itself or notifying PSN support just to let them know.
Eh, the "poke the naked chained lady-spirit" thing is pretty absurd. I agree about about the designs, but that part of the game is just gross.
Alrighty, thanks. I'll wait it out for now.

Can't you poke dudes, too? My primary problem with fanservice is lack of equal opportunity TBH. I guess I haven't gotten to that part of the game though, heard about it but if I click on NPCs it just describes them

Pretty much this:
I like the tilt controls, they are very well implemented and are super fun. As good as Tearaway implementation.
No, it was only that instance. They might have disabled it though with an update. This video is the character I am talking about. Previously, when you would click on the character she would react and twitch and make a quiet moan when you touched her.

Some will hate tilt/motion controls no matter how well done from what I can tell. Loved Tearaway's implimentation, haven't seen Metrico's. It can certainly be bad though; Yoshi's New Island comes to mind for bad tilt controls.
Seems pretty...equal (NSFW)
I suspect Metrico to be a short affair so I'll call it quits for now after the tilt world.
Since the game doesn't (so far) require intense reflexes the general accuracy of the tilt isn't called into question.
Also based upon the secret variables gathering all the secret collectibles should be fun in Metrico. They're naturally trickier than the normal level puzzles.
Edit: Okay, haha. Unless someone has a better solution
It made me laugh when I figured that one out.
Edit: Also, just so folks know. There is a definitive end to Proteus if you figure out what to do.

how did you feel attempting to walk across a bridge that would only stretch to the other side if you were constantly rotating your Vita simultaneously.

That is a parity gif. It was never in the game. And even if it was, it would still be gross. Groping both men and women doesn't make it not gross.

I liked them in Tearaway and LBP come to think of it. But generally I hate tilt controls and Metrico is no exception. On a part I did earlier I actually had to turn the Vita all the way upside down before a platform would reach me. I'm sorry but that's beyond shit design.

Upon further reading I guess people talking about "poking" characters is just the "tap to describe" function I mentioned earlier (which works on all NPCs tapped in any area and doesn't get any special reaction).
I do actually think tilt kinda works better on a controller than a portable, unless the tilt is pretty minor. Flow and Flower feel really weird on the Vita because you're tilting the screen too, while I have no problem with it on controller. Though I really the idea of Proteus' "tilt camera", like halfassed VR kinda. But it doesn't change the rotation angle of the viewport. But it's just for fun not a gameplay necessity.

If that's the only instance of such a thing, I'll let it slide. I've seen worse I guess. All things considered, I guess I was expecting to be a little more offended by the designs themselves, but I just found myself laughing and enjoying the comical nature.

New game from Guacamelee and TFS devs to be a sidescroller and coming to all the same platforms Guacamelee was on.
I just need my Vita version. And my Vita Guacamelee update. ;_;
I would pay for an About a Blob port, too

If people are interested in the PS3 version of Natural Doctrine, Amazon has what I am assuming a price error.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K5UZMJO/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Game is for $40 instead of $50, same price as the Vita version. You still get the $10 credit with pre-order too.

I was hyped for it. Then came Destiny, and I was torn because both are time-sinks and I don't have that much free time. Then I saw Nisha and will get BL:TPS instead (on PC).
Still plan on getting D3 down the line tho.
Banned site, and I only found such news on Nintendo-centric sites. Did they just say "same platforms Guacamelee was on"?
that's good to hear, Dragon's Crown is also a very good game, was waiting for it to come to PS+ might have bought it but missed it on the last sale lol
