Vita PSN Game & Service Thread 2

Not open for further replies.
Some anniversary threads are a pretty nice show of appreciation if they are done with care. But yeah, in the current Gaf climate that would probably stir up the haters.

New threads = news.
There is no news here, so no new thread needed, simple as that.

At best the idea of creating one is like a LTTP thread, which I think aren't necessarily useful either. "HAI GAIZ, I JUST PLAYED THIS AMAZING GAME THAT CAME OUT 3 GENERATIONS AGO, IT'S AS AWESOME AS EVERYONE SAID!"
Queue up the haters and defenders and watch it become an argument of whether the game was actually good.

There's a reason I stick to *this* thread amongst a select few.
No need to perpetuate the basest level of GAF behaviour by creating a "HAY DUDEZ, VITA TURNED 1! ISN'T THAT TEH AWEZSOME??!" thread to create a Vita is doomed/bombed/etc. argument that isn't productive or constructive.
 
Hey, look the system has a pul-|1 year anniversary thread of |#Dead

Idk why but I'm SCREAMING @ the way you said this

Not really. Plenty of VitaGaf make topics actually. But it usually flops unless its a topic about how much of a failure it is. That's when the topic becomes mediacreate/3DS-Non vita owner/pressed gaf that repeat the same shit every thread

I can't think of a piece of news that has been posted in here and not had a thread.

It usually turns into a "lol Vita" thread, but a thread always gets made
 
Guys. This is exactly what the mods don't want. People not making threads because they'd rather talk about everything in here.

Let's not pretend like the mods are wanting anything more than more threads that'll generate clicks and traffic. Their plan to have more threads per subject isn't some noble way to make Gaf better.
 
Not the CONSPIRACY theorists comin out the woodworks

Yup. It's true.

Also when is Guacamelee out?

The thread's been teetering on the brink of insanity for a good while now, but I think we've just gone over the edge.
 
It's not a year old in the west,give it time.

Judging the system before it's 1 year in the west is |1 year anniversary in Japan thread of| #foolish #stilldead

Gotta have those hashtags for the google trolls, kids.
 
I'm not opposed to the 1 year thread, just saying that it's not really news and that nothing good will come from it for fans of the system.
 
Yup. It's true.

Also when is Guacamelee out?

I got a Christmas email (with Christmas E-Card!) from DrinkBox Studios... According to that, they finished the second Beta version shortly before Christmas.

So, still on track for early this year, i guess! Hopefully not too long to wait :)
 
We've talked it up enough.. sure it would probably be a dumping ground for recently scorned extreme fans but I'd love to see it if anyone can be bothered to make it nice..

Yeah, not necessary as it's not really news but it deserves a party..

I'm serious. I've been working in analytics for longer than I care to say and there are two guarantees in generating traffic: 1. Create content that'll get people arguing in your comment section so they'll keep coming back and 2. Have multiple article/topics for the same news so that you increase the clickthrus for each topic exponentially.
 
If people are that invested into how badly the system is doing instead of playing games I'm sure sony would announce vita's sales in it's yearly report.

Man I'm getting excited for guacamelee!

If its anywhere near as good as MBA...
 
What if we used reverse psychology.

1 year thread of |ports of a port of course of course of course.

Hey, guyz~ I sure do love ports of!

-Persona 4
-Disgaea 3
-Playstation titles

Don't you!?

*suddenly the thread is full of positive energy?*

Been excited for it for ages!

It looks really great. Definitely on track to be a "Buy Mutant Blobs Attack" type game.

Need to make sure i get a cut of their profits this time for telling everyone to buy it ;)

I would rather have one than not have one. I don't have time to put effort in at the moment, unfortunately, but if no one's done it by next week, I might.

That would be disappointing ;(

I liked MBA fine, but I'm expecting better for Guacamelee. I know Drinkbox can do it.

Yes, but that only is true for a climate where people actually try to maximize revenue, which isnt the case here. If it was ONLY about maximizing income, EvilLore would have sold this place for the 10Mil he got offered long ago.

YAS Carl get that PR promotion from DB lol

Ok I'm ready for it


Except EU*

RIP
 
Of course! :D Mutant Blobs is one of the best games on Vita!

I've actually looked into maybe getting the PS3 one. Is it any different?

It's a completely different game, yeah. The "Story" is pretty much the same, but there are some quite different mechanics in there. Obviously some things aren't quite as refined as in the Vita game, though (you have to hold a button to absorb).

But yeah well worth a buy IMO. It has couch co-op too which is a bonus

I agree that we do a thread for the Vita's first birthday, but say we do a year recap tread for the Vita? Why not, right? We can talk about all the great games, features and such to have come since it's launch. I say we also focus on what needs to be improved on or added, as well.

Trying to round up the DLC trophies in Motorstorm, but man is the in game music getting annoying to me. Has anyone else noticed this? It's like really, really trashy dubstep most of the time. Plus there's only like 6 tracks I think, so they loop really easily.

Just put some of your favourite tracks on there and use a custom soundtrack until you're done. Or turn the music off.
 
Quite liking New Little King Story so far. It's so charming and carefree, yet addicting. Only gripe is reforming your Royal Guard each day.

Never played the Wii original so I'm not sure how it compares

That's what I ended up doing. Thank god for that, blech. I was getting so tired of the in game music hahaha. I think I might just move onto another racing game after I get %100 in Motorstorm.

As long as you don't disband your personal guard they'll never disperse, you can call them together every morning. What becomes a pain is when you're trying to get all the songs, then you have to keep waking up at the right time and keep calling in each group of villagers/classes and talk to them before they run away.
 
I think I am currently all of the online community of Sonic Racing on Vita. Hardly a surprise, but still disappointing.

Man I'm THIS close to getting Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed due to the positive word of mouth....

Anyone here playing it? Will probably get it if yes. ;)

This thread also seems like a good place to share LBP-Vita levels. I tried something in our Trophy thread late last year but nothing really came of it sadly. This seems like a better community to try it.

BTW VitaGAF and TrophyGAF are my fav communities here, even if I don't post as much ITT. Vita is definitely one of my favorite handhelds ever. I feel safe from the haters here.
 
I'm playing through the career if sonic before I go online but if you wanna race add me on psn - foxxie92

Will do if I get the game. I want to reach 100 platinums before March so I need all the help I can get haha. PSN is StevePharma btw. Anyone can add me (say GAF in your request so I know)


Also I'm not a total trophy freak. I love a good multiplayer arcade racer. I recently platinumed NFS Most Wanted on Vita and that MP was incredibly fun with other people.

I only got most wanted recently but love it. Need to try some multiplayer on that too
 
So what's the best screen protector?

Showing your system kindness and being gentle and caring so as to ensure the system is never in danger of taking a beating is the best screen protector, beyond that most people agree it's either the hori one or official one.

also getting megaman 9/10 free from plus tomorrow makes me a little sad that the vita doesn't have support for them. They would be loads of fun to play on the vita

So throwing it in the dishwasher to clean the screen would be bad?
 
Amazon/post office let me down. Didn't get either game today :(

Oh well back to persona I guess. I finally rescued the first person so hopefully the game opens up even more now.
