Vitagaf, what is your opinion on Earth Defense Force at $29.99? Worth the price or wait for $19.99.

Heard good things about it and caved at $30. Not a bad game by any means but I do feel like a chump for doing so.

Top of the page: Get Gravity Rush, either Via PS+ or if you want the box, buy it!
Get Stranger's Wrath for $11!
Get Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles (PSP) - Includes Castlevania Symphony of the Night!
Also P4G, if you haven't got it, what's wrong with you? (Same goes for P3P #controversy)

 

[QP3]

Started P4G, have only begun but not entirely sure what to make of it so far. Not blown away yet anyway tbh.

As others have said, stick with it, it'll pay off. THings will begin to open up, story will develop, etc.

Im 40+ hours in (fyi, I have never lasted more than ~5 hrs in a jrpg)

 

[hurzelein]

Once had a link to a very good/frequently updated article with all upcoming/rumored Vita-Games.

Always one image, and a short text, then the next game.

Cant remember the site it was on, was kinda yellowish I think.

Someone posted the link in the last month montly Vitagaf Thread.

Can someone help ?

Played the daily int tourney (18 holes) on HSG today. Man I don't know what that update fully contains but the day to night transition on the last 3 holes looks gorgeous. Not sure if graphical upgrades were part of the deal but it seems on another level to what I've been accustomed too.

Anastacio if your reading this I've sent you a turn based challenge request. I've set the reply time to 72hrs so no rush. I also selected novice characters with standard clubs in case you haven't unlocked everthing.

Anyone else wanting a golf buddy for leaderboards, turn based tourneys or general golf hi jinx add spagetti69. (No H in spag(H)etti).

Love this game.

Yup, graphical upgrades have been made. All sorts of little changes have been done: the putting dots have been optimized, opponent balls in tourney play now have a rainbow effect on them etc etc.

On top of that, little features within the course themselves ave been adjusted... some trees out, hills sculpted etc.

Go to La Provence hole #8 for proof of these adjustments.

HSG was THE reason I bought a Vita day1 (feb) and was disappointed by it.
Dont get me wrong, its still good but something just didn't click with me.
Guess i'll dig it out and hopefully these changes fix that....+gloria makes me very happy though I wish they had her in the original like they did on psp as a hidden character

The Vita's getting the Sei Madou Monogatari reboot, how about some Puyo Puyo to go with it?
(would take Tsu on PSN)

 

[Dead Prince]

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but there's a similar topic on GAF: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=472361

Personally, I'm glad tag battles are out. Never liked them. The lobby thing is strange and I'd love to hear why it had to be cut.

less options = content removed = less features = less value = price for a gimped port should be cheaper.

 

[Sid]

That is true and I don't even care for DOA.

Amazon uk has Doa5+ for 23 pounds....

 

[eighty(one)]

DOA5+ thread is all done! Will post a couple days ahead of the game's release.

A quick preview...

Fantastic work!

Can't wait for the thread ^_^

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Yeah, I don't know about other countries but DOA5+ is around £23-25 instead of £30-35 (normal Vita retail price) or £40 (PS360 retail price) in the UK...

Just noticed that grimheaper has got the fusion accident trophy on p4g and has only just started. I literally just got the true ending plus epilogue.... Still not got it haha.

Silly trophy.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

By "just started," you mean 25 hours in! I switched accounts recently and switched right back, which almost "resets" your data and says you just started aaaaall of your games.

i was pissed off when it happened

 

[tamaster92]

I just bought switch galaxy.

Will report back with impressions soon!

It's well worth £2 imo, especially if you like audio surf or even wipeout gameplay... it's arcade, has decent mechanics that let you go real fast if you play well enough.

Yeah I'm only a few levels in but it seems fun.

A few issues ill go into detail on later but easily worth the two quid

I have 'Played Treasure Park for the first time!' about 10 times now. It's kinda ridiculous. I'm hoping that when I switch back to my EU account all my sheet data won't be lost. I can't remember what happened last time.

Haven't been posting here much recently but I'm really enjoying what I've played of PSO2 so far. Still need to make an effort to learn the ins and outs but it's not too taxing, from a language barrier standpoint, either. Oh, and I ordered Senran Kagura to tide me over until Soul Sacrifice, which itself looks incredible. I was watching the RSG Twitch stream earlier, so excited. :3

So I just started playing Gravity Rush. Lot of fun but wow I am terrible at this game so far.

As you start unlocking enhanced abilities, it becomes a lot easier - and a lot more fun, too, for that matter.

Fair enough. Still I did 81 hours and no fail.

Promised I would post some pictures of Soul Sacrifice stuff I saw in Tokyo. Here are a few in store things and subway ad:




These are just empty display boxes:




At a local stoer in Shibuja, again there was about 12-15 people watching the demo/trailer when I was getting in and seemingly a lot of people looking at Vita stuff.

 

[Takao]

Assuming each one of those display cases corresponds to a copy in stock they'll never sell out, lol.

 

[Empty]

been playing lbp vita. i wasn't expecting it to be this good as i've only found the others i've played only ok in single player. really beautiful, unique feeling environments, level designs with a good introduction of new mechanics and tighter challenges, loads of ideas in there across the side levels and arcade and single player. feels like lots of care went into it.

 

[Mokubba]

Assuming each one of those display cases corresponds to a copy in stock they'll never sell out, lol.

Are all games expected to sell out?

 

[Takao]

Are all games expected to sell out?

No, but look at how many display cases there are, lol.

 

[danthefan]

Stupid question - but why are all the games named in English on those boxes?

Thanks for the pics! I love seeing stuff like this.

I wish someone would do an extensive video tour of a Tokyo game store.

 

[JakkuFurosu]

to taunt us

 

[Achtius]

Is virtue's last reward worth playing if i haven't play 999 b4?

 

[CoachKevin]

They are not. You basically just bring it up to get a real copy from the back, then they put the display box back on the stack.

 

[Lusankya]

Yes, but you should still play 999 before.

 

[dallow_bg]

The question is.... Why do they have so many display boxes. They're stacked high.

 

[CoachKevin]

Like everything Japan, craziness. They were doing the same for a MG:Rising display.

Also draws more attention I would guess.

 

[B.O.O.M]

So what is the sell through on soul sacrifice if you were to guess?

I really hope this gives the vita a boost in Japan!

I see a stack like that and the first thing that pops into my mind is "They're never selling that many copies, will wait for bargain bin bomba", lol.

 

[CoachKevin]

Hard to say, I have just seen the local shops like Bic and Yodibashi cameras, game shops in Akihabara, etc. The best insight I can give you is that it seems there is a ton of interest in the game and Vita.

Also the Red and Silver Vitas look fantastic.

Based on that pic, P4G is the best selling Vita game. Good job Japan.

 

[Totobeni]

two games (Boobs Carnival and Textures Sacrifice) will do nothing aside from a tiny spike for sales, Vita need a steady stream of good games every month, it don't have that just look at the upcoming games for Vita, there is just nothing for months and months to come.

 

[tamaster92]

So played what seems like half of switch galaxy (PSM)

It's pretty cool, reminds me of wipeout crossed with amplitude

Looks pretty good, controls well, lots of content, cheap price

However it does lag a bit when it reaches high speeds or lots of stuff is on screen, also there is quite a bit of replaying the same levels to get higher scores etc(I don't personally mind that)

Over all though easily worth the price and a cool little game

Based on your response, your with the wait for $20 crowd for EDF? Anybody hear if there will be a week 3 for Vita sales or is this the end?

People are gonna call me crazy, but im estimating 180-200k at a minimum for SS.
