How's Natural Doctrine? Thinking of picking it up this weekend.

As I said before, it is a weird beast. I love strategy RPGs, but I just couldn't get into it at all. UI is overly complicated for no reason, other than to make it look edgy and hardcore I guess. The graphics are very average, and let's not go into the animations lol... Basically it's a game that is very, very mediocre, and that I kind of regret buying at full price. Now, these are my thoughts, others seem to love the heck out of the game.

can't complain about that recommended games list
although, why just dr: ae and not reload
Both main protagonists are female, there's tons of interaction between them, naked uke Byakuya-sama, and AE is the new hotness right now.

Meh. I'll wait on a sale then.
 
I really, really dig that pink+white colored Vita. Just come to our shores O pink one, whether the black market or through the official shops. No shame in stating this, even if I'm a male.

Owning pink electronics is the manliest thing ever.

I regretted not waiting for the pink model when I bought a 3DS XL.
 
No thank you.

They picked a terrible song for Miku's American TV debut. :(

Miku's English v3 voice bank is absolutely dreadful, they sooner they realize it the better. It is a horrible mistake that will ruin any chance they could've had of making Miku successful in the West. They need to accept the fact that a voice actress who can't actually speak English will never be able to provide them with an English vocal range that doesn't sound forced and wonky. If they really want to do English songs they will need to make a new vocaloid.

It's awesome.

I'm one of the ones that love it to death. I've said it before - it's my favorite vita game at this point. Original, tactical, challenging... all perfect qualities for a srpg.

I don't know what you mean by 'overly complicated UI'... the UI is actually super simple. I suppose it might look complicated if you don't give it a chance, but ultimately it's just arrows showing who everyone is attacking (or buffing), and connecting lines showing any combo bonuses (gained if you combo the same target). It was second nature in under 5 minutes.

All other UI (skills, inventory, etc) are easy to use too.

I don't care about animations or graphics - it's a srpg, and both are serviceable. I'm planning my next 3 moves, not looking at art.

Meh. I'll wait on a sale then.

NOooooooooooooooooooooooo

Why doesn't Sega just get an American to do an English voice bank? It's not like switching voice actresses is going to hurt anyone but the purest of Miku fans.
 
Finally got my Vita! Gotta wait until I get paid tomorrow to even consider buying more memory, though. I also screwed up the screen protector. Got fuzzy stuff all over it. Guess I'll have to order more of those as well. D:

Welcome to the club!

Best screen protector IMO is the Hori one that covers the entire front panel. It has easy application too.

Edit: Lol beaten

Welcome! Here, let me post the "You Bought A PS Vita" gif... *looks at the two posts above mine* ...damnit, beaten again.
 
Jet Car Stunts is a great 'one more go' game. Lots of fun, and really scratches that Trackmania itch.

It also reminds me of that marble game on XBLA, as your constantly throwing yourself across huge gaps, navigating narrow platforms, and hoping that you don't drop into the abyss.

My one gripe is that I wish restart was mapped to a button. You can quickly restart the last checkpoint, but to restart the whole course, you have to go into the menu.

It's only a small complaint though, and with the three gameplay types (platforming, time trials and collectables), there's plenty of content.
 
If you happen to own a Vita somewhere in Europe
land
and seeks a quirky and cheap shooter, this week Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable is €5.

I'm gonna celebrate *potential* new Earth defenders everyday this week by participating in the wasteland that is online Co-op. I'm available and hosting atleast between 6pm-7pm (GMT+0).
 
I wish Sony would stop asking me to be a PS+ member on the PS4's store when my expiration date is still freaking 2 years away.
 
Joe Danger Vita got an update, but no mention to savedata curruption issues that people had (it addresses crashes when accessing the leaderboards or something), so I'm still afraid to play. But it's so much fun >_>

And I forgot to update my spare Vita to 3.20, so I threw in VC3 with the fan translation (running via exploit, aye) and oh man I'm so happy for being able to play it without using translation guides to know the objectives and potentials! Being able to follow the story is great too, but I already had that spoiled by the artbook.
A pity that even all of our monies isn't enough for an official localization.
 
I asked this elsewhere but the thread got buried:

Terraria Vita, do you need to manually update to 1.2? (came out in April), my version shows no sign of being able to disable the rear touch pad.
 
How big is Joe Danger Vita? I'll have an extra 1 GB space in my 64 GB by next week and wouldn't mind having it on my Vita.
 
Holy crap the Walking Dead is frustrating on Vita. Nonstop qtes made more difficult by the engine hitching and lurching whenever anything at all changes. The frame rate will drop until there is a still image on the screen for 2 seconds and then you have half a second to mash a button or maneuver a crosshair.

You've just described the Telltale engine on anything that isn't a PC/Laptop.
 
Odd, I had no issues with TWD Season 1 on Vita. Ran better than on 360 for me! Want to start Season 2 soon but can't tell if it has imported my save file or not >.>

I still don't understand why I've been sent 4 emails telling me about Cole's Legacy since I started playing Infamous Second Son. I bought the fucking DLC the moment I put the disc in! Start using some brains Sony marketing team!
 
That's bullshit, unless your vita is somehow faster than every other vita.

not necessarily. for example, the ps3 disc version i originally tried to play was so bad performance wise it was unplayable and i had to return it. i think the vita version is slightly better than that was performance wise
