Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | March 2013 | Carving an Independent niche

Why all the hate for Ragnarok Odyssey? It's a little overpriced at the moment, but it is easily the Vita game I've dumped the most time into. If you have Vita friends IRL, it's the best local co-op game on the system, and a decent short-burst grinder.

Sure, Soul Sacrifice may render it redundant, but still. It's a lot of fun.

It's not MonHun.
 
you should post that screenshot again :P
I could, or instead I could just quickly explain how to use steam on your vita in case people want to but don't know how to.
Go to the steam store and sign into your account.
click the community tab
click the send a chat message to yourself, it should ask to open a new window, allow it and you have a mostly working of steam chat assuming you don't have a ton of friends lol...
you could at least group off people you want to talk to as you can only see like 15 people :P

You may as well get used to it. Once Totobeni decides he hates something, he'll beat that horse until it's long since stopped being funny.

So... why does the Skype app not have text chat again
 
Man, Street Fighter X Tekken just spams the activity feed with everything I do in an online game. Sorry to any folks on my friends list who have to wade through all that.

Been super busy these past few months but I just got the full year+3 bonus months PS+ deal so hopefully I can play my Vita more often. Can't wait for Vita Guilty Gear, DOA5 and Divekick.
 
It's not MonHun.

There are a lot of games that aren't MonHun, but are still decent.

What I didn't like about it was that it looked like an RPG, played like an RPG, but wasn't an RPG (no rpg stats).

But beyond that, the combat wasn't fun. If you aren't going to be an RPG, you should at least have fun combat.
 
Goddamn BB: CS Extend looks gorgeous on this OLED. I can't stop fussing over Makoto's erm... outfit. The menu music is all the same as the original, I'm getting all nostalgic over here @_@
 
So... why does the Skype app not have text chat again

i haven't a clue, I was annoyed by that as well... I don't want to use skype for talking to people I want to use to as a messenger service lol.

I whined at steam support for a native vita app like phones have, but they told me they were going to forward it to the right people (away from the mobile app support) and I never heard anything more :/
 
Any of you guys who just got BB want to play online? I can host a room if you're interested!

Disagree. It plays like a Hunting Action game. I got what I expected when I bought the game. I just beat it a moment ago!

Yea, I just mean if Steam chat works through the browser there really is no reason text chat shouldn't work in the dedicated Skype app.

it mostly works in the browser....
some issues are you can't seem to scroll your friends list
the other issue is your messages can take up to 10 seconds to show up to the other people, and if you type fast enough they can actually show up out of order lol

aka it's not perfect, but it does at least allow me to go to my bedroom and play a game and shoot messages to my friends on steam from time to time.

more of us should whine at them. haha that may just work.
but i really don't like onscreen keyboards :/

i actually detest on screen keyboards, but my laptop in the bedroom kind of doesn't have a screen anymore >.>; so some way to not be disconnected is nice when I want to go to the bed room and play games as my main ps3 is in there as well as my set up for the vita. (though i have a back up set up for the vita in the living room as well)

I was actually going to ask how the online is: I don't think it's cross-play or cross-save is it?

i actually though blazblue was both able to play online with ps3 owners and share saves... I could be wrong, but i bought the ps3 version with that understanding so if i get the vita version later I could just moves my data over o.o;

It's cross-save, but not cross-play. Pretty sure it was the first Vita game with cross-save implementation!
 
Are you saying UMvC3 is more difficult to play than SFxT on Vita?

My personal experience says otherwise. I can't do anything stylish or fancy in SFxT because I'm unable to use L or R effectually for whatever button I have mapped to them.

Meanwhile, I had about 0 problems pulling off my standard combos (which aren't super advanced, mind you) for UMvC3 once I got used to the small face buttons.


.

Definitely more difficult than BB. I just finished dowloading SFxT, so we'll see how I do, however I really don't think the L/R buttons will hamper me at all, it'll be more so that combos will be harder, as since I'm not using a joystick I can't plink anything, making links harder.
 

I actually think he's right. I bought Unit 13 at regular price and I remember not having that much fun playing the missions; they were bland and repetitive. There are so many things I'd rather play on the Vita.

If you're going to spend the money, spend your money on something other than Unit 13.

But if you're dying to play a shooter then... patiently wait for Killzone: Mercenary. :P
 
Whaat. I enjoyed Unit 13. Best shooter on Vita so far. Get it and play it while you wait for KZ:Mercs. Atleast try the demo out.

EDIT: Oh lol..refering to Toto's Don't Buy list. aka. Must buy list. <3

the game was, the bundle hasn't been confirmed for a western release, I doubt it will come over.
the next vita bundle we will get will likely be a killzone bundle in sept.

Damnit. Japan always getting the best ones.
 
Alright so how much would it cost to import that Bundle? I'm guessing 'prohibitively expensive' is going to enter my vocabulary.

I agree, it's the best shooter on the Vita so far. But there ain't much competition to begin with.

The full game is like the demo, with a couple extra guns and a few different environments. But I felt like there wasn't enough variation in the environments to keep me engaged. The best part about the game I thought was the co-op actually.
 
has anyone ever order off amazon.jp? do they deliver to the US? what the cost.. I see that budle is still in stock on Amazon.jp.. conversion is about 300 bucks. Would it ship?
 
I bought it last night for some reason. It's beautiful but I have NO idea what I'm doing. I'm not good at chess at all.

Create an ASync multi game, I'll play with you. I'm not too good anymore, used to be much better.

I didn't win a single match of many, against Toma :0(

You'd need to hire a courier service or something. Amazon.jp doesn't ship internationally.
 
Hey Vitabros. I need some help. Should I buy:

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 +
(I've never played this game. I heard about the bad framerate but is it still an enjoyable experience? I can still enjoy a great game with some FPS issues as long as it's a...great game. I have Sigma 1 and really enjoyed it. )

OR

Sly 4: Thieves in Time
(I've never played a Sly game but I really like (good) platformers. The Cross-play means nothing to me, I would only be playing on Vita, but i'd still get both juuuuuuust in case.)

I just need a new game to bring me back to my Vita. Since I got my Galaxy Note 2, I've been playing all sorts of great mobile stuff (with a dualshock), and even streaming PC games to it, but picking up the Vita again feels so good. But i want somethin fresh. So ya, what say you vitabroski's??

NGS2+

It's fantastic.

Really, it is.

Sly 4 is good, but NGS2+ is better.
 
So, I'm reaching here, but:

Tribute Games posted an update about their Mercenary Kings Kickstarter. Several factors may indicate a Vita port:

1.
Also, we're very proud to announce that Tribute Games is officially a licensed Sony and Nintendo developer. We'll be able to bring our games to consoles!
2.
You will be able to play the game with up to 3 other friends online via steam and offline when we launch towards the end of spring 2013.

This would be a must for a portable version.

3. Their previous game Wizorb is already a PSP Mini.

Would be a great fit I think.

Took me a while to figure out what I had to do in Patapon, but in Pitoyama...I just gotta move the bar left and right to align eggs and have them hatch for score?

He called it a 'Bad game' and told everybody not to buy it.

Personally I probably agree that's not worth $40, however as a $20 or less game I think it's one of my favourite games on my Vita.
The controls are tight, graphics wise it looks fairly good and it has plenty of variety in the missions and character types.

No way is it a 'Bad game' that should be avoided like some other titles on the system.
 
Seriously? that sucks, I don't have a Vita yet, but I'm getting one

So wait, why do I see some Vita games like Uncharted and Gravity Rush?

They're part of PS+, which I guess you have a subscription to. The vita games are for vita owners. But as someone said, apparently you can get them via media go.
 
Welp! Piyoma was a one and done. Anyone else play more than 1 round before deleting? A guy like me with his lowly 4gb cant waste precious space on that....
