Vita PSN Game And Service Thread

Shallow concerns me.

Weird as this sounds, it actually encourages me to import the US physical release rather than wait for the EU DD version.

Do we know if it will have a demo when it's released on Tuesday?

For those asking, I'm shooting to get Ragnarok Odyssey up in time for Tuesday's release. Three words about it: Boring, Repetitive, Shallow.

/nooooo

Will still check out Gaffer's impressions, though. ;)

Colin's opinions are far different than mine (he doesn't think games like Sly 4 or PSASBR should have been on Vita among other things) so I'm not too worried that he doesn't like it.
 
Plenty of folks on GAF love boring, repetitive and shallow games.
I'm certain it will be received quite favorably.

(Expecting a Metacritic score somewhere in the 70-75% range.)

Shit man, if you guys didn't see that AC: Liberation footage, you need to

It's gorgeous, man. I can't wait til Wednesday now.

Wow, that's the calibre I had in mind when I decided to buy the vita. Looks decently smooth too, excited. Got a bit extra now that I've decided to wait with SFxT (£40, $65) but not sure if this will be the same thing...still will at least get this retail.

Didn't see any of the teleporting someone was mentioning earlier about AC.

Also I've probably whined about this already after sfxt but £35 is my upper limit for vita games, digital or not. I can't imagine too many are buying it digital at that price...you'd think they'd have known that already or at least backtrack with a pricedrop after about 0-1% of expected sales.. :P
 
Anyone from the UK get Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood for free today? I added them earlier just fine. But just a few minutes ago they aren't free for my brother. Maybe it was a mistake?

EDIT: Whoops wrong topic. Was meant for the + thread

Keeping it on topic here's the games I plan on buying this year

Assassins Creed Liberation
PS All Stars
Ragnarok Odyssey if I deem the single player is worth it
New Little King Story at some point after I finish the rest
Mutant Blobs Attack, again maybe once I finish the rest
 
The JP demo of Ragnarok Odyssey wasn't too hot IMO, graphics and combat was trivial. But this is a game meant to be played with friends.

I used to think that MP loot games were boring, but after being hopeless glued to Castlevania HD, maybe a similar game to the Vita is all I need for a long time.

The game has been out for months in Japan, and had a JP demo to play around with, assuming you don't mind having / switching multiple accounts.

I find it lacks something to take a game that is already released, that people already like, and preview your "review" by saying a few closely-related negative terms. Surely one of those could be something you LIKED about it?

It will be interesting to see how the reviews go for the game, from this point out, though. Hopefully, they'll be well-rounded and fair... as opposed to a bunch of those "Lets pick on the classic-style Japanese game!" trollviews.
 
will ACL be $35 digital?

have it preordered for $30 at newegg, don't wanna pay $40 but i can do $35. wanna try to get that $100 get 20$ back deal.
 
$36. The other Ubisoft Vita games are $35.99(Rayman, Lumines, and maybe others).

EDIT: I was $1 off and forgot Michael Jackson. D:

Ubisoft games in the US are $36, I think. Lumines is $36. I think Rayman used to be before price drops?
It's Capcom that doesn't get it.

Alright for some.

Mind you, now that you've said that, i think some of their EU games might have been a tiny bit discounted. Not sure.

Just to double confirm, this was posted on the PSBlog in a reply to the latest ACL Video:

I got RO today, will let you know what I think later.

I have over 300hrs of MHFU under my belt so I am curious to see how it plays.

Hope you like it!
 
Ok so serious question bros.

If AC:L, NFS:MW and cod all sell well and the vita gets a at least ok sales bump over Christmas do you think we will see renewed support from developers? Or do you think that ship has sailed until its a bonefide success (or not)?

I don't believe we'll ever have a clear picture on how those games perform sales-wise so it really doesn't matter. Everyone will continue to believe what they want to believe.

I'll be picking up the first two games digitally.

I wouldn't put much weight behind that. Colin likes to talk like his opinion is the end-all-be-all, but he really doesn't know his head from his ass.
 
Liberation looks cool and all, but did the town look a little empty to anyone? Sort of the same thing we're seeing with NFS. Still buying it, shit looks hot.

Not really. I like the idea of less people anyway - all they ever do is get in the way and make me fall over
 
re:Ragnarok - i have to say, i went straight from finishing off MH3rdP into it and it left me completely -meh-

I went back to it a bit later and i enjoyed it a bit more, but i just drifted off it. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either. Though i hear the game gets much better later on.

What would you say to someone who has never played a Monster Hunter game looking to get this? Maybe a little better since I don't have a mon hun game to compare it to?

All I will say is that his standards must have shot through the roof since Kingdoms of Amalur came out.

I finished Virtue's Last Reward a little while ago.

PLEASE, BUY THAT GAME. IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
Listen to this man. It's my current GOTY as well.
I just bought 999. If I like that, I'll get VLR. :(

Third person action game with uh...combos, and mashing? The thief class or whatever felt like I was playing third person Senran Kagura.
 
I'm such a weak sucker. I went ahead and preordered the Persona 4 Solid Gold Premium Edition. I need a case for my Vita anyway, so that's the justification I am using for paying that $30 premium.
I can't resist those P4 goodies.
