Yep, it's all about the opportunity cost. Five minutes talking about Vita is five minutes not talking about PS4. And as good as the Vita is, it's clear it's not going to be a big money maker for the company the way the PS4 could be.

How much content are they adding with the season pass?
Really?
High res, artstyle and lights help, but it's very far from being a heavy game for Vita, if this game needs to be sub native then Killzone Mercenary needs a PS4 to run.
Did you forget MGS?
Now think if MGS had the same lights, resolution and texture resolution of Counterspy...
It's especially annoying because One Piece Unlimited World Red and DragonBall Z: Battle of Z were $60 at retail but were $47.95 digitally and yet this is digital-only and is $60 instead.
I'll still reluctantly buy it but i'm not happy.
$3 less than paying for the game itself digitally, hooray for fair pricing.
Yeah they're taking the piss. It's 29 pounds in the UK which should convert to $50AU. I'm really disappointed especially since they obviously cut significant costs with a dodgy localisation and no physical release.

Welcome the new generation of gaming, where extra superflous content costs as much as the base game itself.

... I liked her.
I haven't seen the second part of the season, so maybe she gets crappy, but otherwise I liked her. She has flaws, I know, and is kinda Mary Sue, but even with that I thought that the character was cute. But I'm saying this as a brotherly manner, not anything sexual, for the love of god.
New sprites + story + free battle mode take up a lot of space. It's one of the better demos I've played.
Crazy that it's more than half the size of the full game. Looking forward to trying it out but I had to delete FFXHD to download it
I kind of liked her too. Aura from .hack// is still best AI though
That isn't bad for a DD only game. And considering digital games don't drop in price when demand lowers first week sales aren't as important as long as people gets it at full price.
Oi,
edit: Aura is great too, I like them for different reasons. Yui because she is cute, Aura because she is mysterious. At least at the start. And I don't know, I just like Aura

The Last Tinker is a lot more expensive in AU than I had expected, will have to give it a miss for now

Nice, don't feel overwhelmed at the start, you will soon get the hang of it

Good. It's annoying that O is confirm and X is cancel though.
so comparing a minimalist art styled game with a game that attempted to achieve real life graphics in a psx way. And you also are comparing an indie game vs a big game from a big company ... Seems fair. Texture resolution being the same for these two games is hilarious... Haha. If you are playing graphics don't buy indie stuff because a 90% of the games are low budget " bad" graphics games but most of them with excellent gameplay.Really?

Playing on PS4 with the DS4's speakers feel very satisfying for some reason.
Also, anyone playing Road Not Taken? Game is incredibly addictive and frustrating.

What function does the Dual Shock 4's speaker serve in the PS4 version?

Check out the OT, lots of impressions. Can't recommend on Vita, but it runs fine on PS4 unsurprisingly. Art style and comedy are great, gameplay is fun, but the procedural generated levels aren't perfect. Certain "parts" don't seem to be fair--while every level is definitely possible, it's pretty hard to consistently get a full-stealth run just because certain segments are silly.
The 2D/3D switches are great though. I'd say it's a good game but the flawed bits of certain levels keep it from being great.
The stone bowls are checkpoints. Use them if you have the slightest fear of death. I got though with only about 6 deaths, well below average for a rougelike.

When you finish enemies off when they're knocked down, the PS4 blasts out the sound and vibrate each time you pound him to death. Whats especially cool is that you also can choose to use the gyro(I think) and move the controller up and down to smash the guy down.
Yeah, just figured that out, learning to save up as much as possible now that Im in my 10th year. Very enjoyable game. Got any tips to take out the
Demon Rabbits

Stay the F*CK away from those things. If you're more than two spaces away they won't advance, though they chase anything living on the field (I think spirits too), You can stun them with an axe, or even longer with a spear, or throw potions at them to stun/etc them. I don't know of any way to kill them--look at the Secrets page for anything that's giving you trouble, if it turns into another thing, you can "kill" it with that item...but these jerks don't seem to be ingredients for any recipes.
Note that if you die, the level you get will be different and I believe checkpoints are permanent until you manually delete them or save at a higher level. Also, your banlist persists through playthroughs not just deaths, so it's nice to build up a banlist just by playing and befriending villagers.
Also, dark spirits after you? Just pick 'em up/"collect" them by walking over them. It hurts less, unless you can cook 'em with blue fire. Picking them up is preferable to taking melee damage from them, especially Very Angry Spirits. Last pro tip: 3 scared bees = VERY GOOD.

Damn, so

And thanks for the tips man. Btw, just asking but did you marry Eve, mine's married to Red,turns out
she cant get pregnant and is now sick
SerTapTap

Boars
a pig. Science.
raccoon
Is Eve the one with the ticking biological clock? If so
yes she got sick, no amount of medicine helped her but she didn't die.
to take your hood off does your character turn out to be female?
Also...there will come a time when it is possible to lose children permanently (within a level). Probably in the last couple of years you'll see what I mean. Act fast.

Yup. Played it on release night via remote play and all seemed fine to be. Plays really well control wise as well. I imagine I will be playing this a lot through remote play.

lol. This post. I'm laughing so hard. Thanks man I needed this, this morning.

Yeah,
apperance is definitely RNG, as are the villager's appearance. Unsure about the sex of the ranger though.
I THINK the potentially dead kids will always account for less than 50% of children, so it's always possible...but a 100% rescued run would be really tough. Also, you can abandon >50% of kids ONCE per playthrough if you want. But uh. There are some REALLY damn hard rooms. I only saw

I er don't suppose NISA does review codes for Youtubers? ...I guess I'd need a Vita TV anyway though.

I read that your gender is solely determined by the question about who you looked up to more, mother or father. Also have heard this allows you to marry male or female characters.
Also, I am really bummed to hear what you guys are saying about
the demon bunnies.
BlueMaxima does get review codes often.
Also he uses a HDMI-modded Vita, not a Vita TV.

I wanted one of those but Vitas have gone up in price. I want to see how far I can get with Vita TV before I drop an extra $300~ for a second one + HDMI capture board installation. Long term I want it, but YT hasn't really been raking in enough cash to make it a priority right now.

God, loadstones, freaking hate em too. I once found room where it was filled with
loadstones, raccoons, wolves, a goat, flowers and a kid.
Speaking of saving, the further I go on, the harder it is to save all of them, doesnt help that the mayor often likes to say IIRC 'We'll just make more'. This is one freaky village.
Also, I think Im saving thanks to autosave, seems like no way to manually save.
Not sure on gender thing. Cant believe Im saying but im now terrified when

Oh no I meant the checkpoints. Saving is 100% automatic, seems to do it every single turn with no feedback--makes closing the game for the first time a bit scary.

I have not bothered reusing saves yet, but I will probably do so for the trophies.
Edit - I see what you mean. I have not used the in game save points. I meant using cloud saves to redo sections I get stuck on.
