I bought it for the lulz and honestly i'm not even mad, i don't know if it fells in the "so bad it's good" category but even with the bad graphics(for example bump mapping everywhere even where it's not needed), slow walking, dumb character and story etc, i sort of enjoyed its 30 minutes of gameplay(30 minutes because characters walk slowly lol), i sort of liked its atmosphere and its gameplay, i would define it a sort of first person horror visual novel with 3d environments, you explore the map and certain points have "???" over them, you go near them and the character says something about it(something similar to the exploration fase in Danganronpa, but without other characters and interaction) and sometimes the game tries to scare you with moving shadows, objects etc, that's all, there's no real interaction, but i think that the formula has potential, i would like to see bigger and better games with the same formula.

The curious thing is that it has a graphic option, you can choose between low, medium and high graphics settings, with medium and high being the same lol(well at least i didn't see differences) adding bump mapping to everything and probably a pair of lights.

I saw Dengeki and Famitsu scans and:
-Phantasy Star Nova has some interesting monster designs imo, half monster half tank
-SAO sequel's graphics definitely are an upgrade, but not a huge one though.
-Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 looks like a PSP game(how is it possible that musou games graphics become worse with each title? DW Next is still the best looking one imo)
-God Eater 2 has a scythe that can become loooong.
-Atelier looks good as expected.

EDIT:
gameplay trailer for Great Edo Blacksmith

GEB looks fun. Hopefully NISA localizes it.
 
So I see the Muramasa: Genroku Legends 4-Piece DLC pack is finally up. Does anyone know what happens if I buy it without having paid for the original (got it through PS+) and my subscription ends. Will I still be able to play the DLC or do I need to buy the original game then in order to access it? Just curious. Game is totally worth the full price, but since I may resub my PS+ in the nearby future I will save myself some cash by just getting the DLC.

You won't be able to play the DLC unless you buy the game.
 
Miku Project Diva is HARD. Had to try three times to clear the first stage on normal, lol.
 
Pretty satisfied with Project Diva so far. Did maybe the first ten songs or so on Easy, then decided to check out the harder difficulties on one of my early favs, Summer Idol. Managed to beat it on Normal and Hard without much problem but the last difficulty level was pretty intense. Should provide a good challenge, something to work towards.

Also, the title screen theme is catchy as fuck.

Easy difficulty is pretty boring and not really worth bothering with. Thankfully you don't need to clear it to unlock further difficulties, you can just start from Normal.

Yeah, with something like Theatrhythm I more or less go straight to Expert since there are so many songs but with PDFs manageable amount I might as well go through them on Easy to get a better grip on the timing and earn some credits. Also, I can follow the music video a bit which would be difficult otherwise.

They need a better name for these "one purchase and it's a properly designed game again" games. I always figured this was complete garbage because of F2P. I still won't touch it, but it's good to know you basically buy a functional game with a one time $10 purchase.
Click to expand...

If the game interests you, buy it; It's $10.
Treat the free ver. as a demo. You like what you played of the game? Drop $10 and you can play it without any blocks.

Extreme can be quite overwhelming especially in the beginning but they become manageable with a bit of practice. The 9/10-star songs stay challenging though (I've yet to clear the last song on Extreme).
 
Has anyone here tried PS Now on Vita yet?
I woke up to see it had installed itself onto the system, then I saw it's also on the store.
 
Damn! Wanted to play some Vib Ribbon on my Vita and found out it's not possible to download it directly to the Vita. Is is possible to transfer the file from the PS3?

They're looking into it. Pretty embarassing that it's still not fixed but that's PSN for you.
 
Well, I just got this and I'm not ashamed.

I was also about to buy Vib-Ribbon, but seeing you can't play it on Vita yet I'll hold off a bit more.

It's essentially a demo with a 'time per day' limitation. The $10 key fully unlocks it. I despise F2P and think it's the bane of game design, but given the full unlock this game effectively turns the corner and is essentially a fully featured demo rather than a crippled game.

Now, a game with a similar setup w/o a full one payment key should definitely be avoided, ridiculed, and then taken out back and shot (hello, itunes store).
 
Not sure what the complaints are about with Minecraft Vita framerate. Granted I dont really have experience with the game in general but aside from it being a bit janky when a level first loads it seems fine to me.
 
Akiba trip is amusing. As a 4chan user I have to say XSEED manage to capture the spirit pretty well. Can't believe I anticipate new topic in Pitter the most when playing, lol.

Criminal girls is coming, I'm sure this game will, too.

Tried out the demo for 30 minutes and I don't see what is the problem either.

The only thing you should be ashemed of is not getting the Let's Get Physical edition.

Un altro italiano in vitagaf, benvenuto.
Click to expand...

I'm all for physical versions, but unfortunately my only way to get stuff online is buying PSN Cards :(
Since I'm constantly juggling between an 8GB and a 16GB memory card I would've loved to get the physical version (and that artbook...), but alas I'll have to settle with this.

Grazie per il benvenuto!

Sony reeeeaaaally needs to fix that thing where all Vita games are flagged as "Playable on [PS3] [PS Vita]" in the Web store.
Click to expand...

I think it's due to how their "download to device" thing. Vita games can be downloaded to PS3s for moving over, so the system seems to mark them as "plays on PS3" to let it download to PS3. This shouldn't be revealed in the user-side UI though.

Related, I'd keep all my Vita games on my PS3 for quick copying (I already do on PC, but it's just a bit more work), but the damn bubbles stay at the top of the Games list forever and can't be put into folders. This USED to work with PSP games.

Agree to be honest. I've never given it much thought due to it being F2P. Didn't realise you could play without barriers for a small fee.

You can manually adjust lag while in the game options.

Oh yeah, that helpful slide bar that doesn't show fucking any kind of information.

I remember when I first played it felt almost unfairly hard, even on the easier difficulties. Shouldn't take that long to click, then the real challenge (extreme) begins.

Velocity XXX (probably not, def their most successful franchise, but their games have been pretty varied thus far)

They were sending tweets about a week back looking for talented artists to work on a new IP, so it's probably that.
 
Great Edo Blacksmith sounds so good in theory but I just cannot get behind the presentation*. Looks like something I could make with RPG Maker or something :\
