I love it.

At this point, this is my favourite driving game that I've ever played - and that's saying something coming from a hardcore Gran Turismo fan up 'til GT5.

My only gripes are the missing features that're getting patched in, no split-screen MP and that the servers SUCK right now.

Wow. High praise, other than the last bit. Might look in to it at some point.

If there's something that I have learned with the years is to not listen to others opinions when it comes to games. Sure take their input, but ultimately you know yourself better than anyone else. If I see myself liking something I won't stop myself from buying/playing it because someone told me to. The perfect example for me is Destiny, regardless of what people say, and me recognizing it's faults, the game is like crack for me aha.

Yeah, for sure. I was mostly asking 'cause I wasn't sure where people's opinions lay now that it's been more than a day since release :lol

ooh TOTP: Buy PDF2 when it releases. Buy EDF Portable to help lower the chance of me paying dat import premium on the new one.

 

[redcrayon]

Thanks for replies re. Dungeon hunter vitagaf.

Just noticed there's a free demo, will check that out.

 

[pastrami]

I'm looking for a dungeon crawler loot 'em up to pass some time on the Vita, does anyone know if Dungeon Hunter: Aliiance is worth a go? It got terrible reviews but I wonder if that was based on its high price at launch compared to the mobile phone games.

The framerate is pretty bad. There should be a trial to check the game out yourself.

It looks good! But I'm not a racing game fan, I wouldn't buy a game just for the graphics. My buddy which loves those games seems to be excited for The Crew instead. So idk opinions really do seem to be very mixed.

That is almost my exact thoughts on the game. I'm pretty indifferent to the genre, it's pretty, but there just wasn't anything that lit a fire under me.

 

[Shinriji]

Looks like Sony "fixed" the vanished PSone Classics section on PSTV. They merged the PSP and PSone sections together under a generic "Classics" heading.

Better than nothing.

It's budget Diablo-lite, and if you're okay with that, you'll have fun with it. Same with the racer Asphalt - budget feeling through and through, but still fun if you can look past all the rough edges.

Thank you kindly!

Performance has been improved with the patches (the last one I just tried and is a little, very little, better), but there's still moments of annoying drops. Not many, but there are. I'm currently level 30, I love borderlands and this is just as good as always.

My biggest problems are the crashes. When in weapons menu it crashes very often (for me). In any case, still a great game for the Vita.

i checked the OT of the game and it seems fine and also take some notes of what can help the game play better.
If i find it cheap i'll buy it. xP

Thanks for the help people.
For now i'm back to finish murasaki baby xP

Unfortunately saving Neptunia for when I have actual income. That, Akiba's Trip, and Natural Doctrine are both on my list of games to get when I figure out how to not pay for gas. What's your PSN ID btw?

Edit: Actually, I'm dumb. You can just add me, no reason to PM me, lol. I should go to bed.

 

[Hikami]

Replaying the best my favorite PSP game.
Wish this one got localized instead of Conception 2. First one was a much better game to be honest.
There's a very early fan translation in the works if anyone's interested.
If you even slightly enjoyed Conception 2 you'd enjoy this game a lot more.

Spoiler

/not biased at all/

Fan translations are perfectly fine, as long as they aren't promoting piracy and giving links to ISOs.

In that case.. added above
Emphasis on very early, its worth keeping an eye on at least though.

I really hope that someone will try is as I can't until next year.

Is the Vita Wifi so bad that it might not work?

Personally I would have tried Alpha protocol, Catherine, and FFXIII. Hoping for VC, Ni no kuni, KOA, XCOM, Nier, KH, Fallout, ME, DA:O, Tombraider, Bioshock, ROF, SP:STOT, Dishonored, Mirrors edge, etc. in the future

Howdy PSN(Vita)Gaf. Been following this thread for like 9 months and finally got my account :lol It'll be a bit weird talking to people who know nothing about me, when I've followed their posts for such a long time.

Been playing multiple vita games lately. Project Diva, Ratchet & Clank, and One Piece all on rotation. Struggling to settle on something.

Also, on the topic of thread improvements, is this not the sort of thread that could be placed in the community section? I've never
really understood the purpose of that section outside of being an OT graveyard.

Welcome! Been playing One Piece on my Vita as well, and as someone who isn't familiar with the anime, I'm enjoying it a lot.

Familiar with the anime? LOL. I love this typo. please leave it.

And yeah, it's pretty fun regardless. I was WAY behind on the manga/anime when I started the game it kickstarted binge reading ~500 chapters over the course of a week and a half. Careful, though. If you're interested in watching the anime or reading the manga there are a few huge spoilers. That said, you probably won't really think of them as significant if you aren't familiar with the anime when you see 'em, so don't sweat it.

Lol, awesome typo. Freaking autocorrect.. Nice, I'll probably check out the Manga at some point.. It's too bad the Vita version doesn't have online multi player. Seems like it could have been fun.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is the big one for me. Thanks Konami and/or Sony.

Found out a few days ago too.

Does anyone have any positive impressions on Conception II? I know I've read negative impressions but now that it can be picked up for a reasonable price I'm wondering if it's worth $20 or so.

I can't recommend that game. I'm sorry, but there isn't anything that stands out for me.

What? Vita's Wifi is godlike. I download games and updates so fast.

 

[Dragon]

Wow the Playstation TV store is an epic disaster in NA. There's a classics category that contains a random assortment of PS1 classics, Minis and PSP games, and yet Alundra, one of my favorite games ever, is not on it. But can be downloaded through my download list.

Not to mention I can download Uncharted Golden Abyss through my download list and we all know that game is not playable through a controller.

Conception II is kind of middling for me. I enjoyed it for what it was, but it's not worth the full $40 retail price. It is nowhere near P4G or NepReb, but if you find it for cheap, $15-$20, it's a good pick up. Some parts of it are really good for a laugh.

I'd say these are accurate. I enjoyed my time with the game. The writing actually isn't as awful as it initially seems, and the combat system I thought was interesting. However, the game is super repetitive and nothing is really great about it. If you want a better game, play persona. if you want fan service, play NepReb, if you want VN play literally any well known VN.

 

[kassatsu]

When it's actually accurate, but you're right. I really like Kass work with PSNStores, I just wish that he shared the info he posts there over here for awareness.

I have 0 free time now, (i don't even post on PSNStores that much any more). Someone else is free to take over thread duties if you want to. I talked to ZeroAKA over PM about it.

No worries, good luck with whatever it is you're doing! I have a general idea for next month's thread, but I just have to figure out which mod to contact (if I need to at all).

 

[Imouto]

Even if someone takes over who has no idea what they're doing, as long as they keep up with the thread they should be able to get along fine - I'm sure us members will feed them missing information if they'd be kind enough to make a thread and keep the OP updated.

I don't mean to be rude, but can't someone else take over the PSN topics and keep them updated?

Kinda late to this, but if we can't do anything about the OP, someone could be quick and grab the first post so later they can update their post with relevant information? At least if people complain there is no useful info on the OP, they could look at the next post.

[edit]
oh lolz, just right at the post above.

World Record!

It'll probably get beaten quick, but I'm never at the top of the leaderboards for anything

Still waiting for that PS+ edition...I'd bite if I haven't planned all of my gaming budget for this month.

I believe there's a thread around here somewhere with PS Now impressions. It's worked very well for me so far. tried it at E3 too on the PS TV and I couldn't feel any lag. I'm curious to see if the same thing applies when I use it today.
