Support NeoGAF

[Acquiescence]

I finally started playing Gravity Rush.

I remember a fellow GAFfer saying (when I got my Vita, less than a month ago) that he hoped it "clicked" with me. Man, it clicked indeed! I love this game. The soundtrack, the main character, the way they tell the Story. I'm bad at those challenges and I'm having some trouble landing in the desired areas but I hope the game just don't spike the Difficulty on later levels. I did not even knew there was DLC! What a nice surprise, it payed off knowing almost nothing to this game and now I'm having a great time with it.

To be honest, I feel relaxed when playing this game. Persona 4 is still on my list as my soon-to-be first physical game Bought. I hope it can be a game good for relaxing and enjoying the Story too (plan on play it on Easy if that helps).



Happy birthday fellow GAFfer!

The biggest difficulty spike in Gravity Rush is playing it for the first time and wrestling with the controls, coping with the disorientation as you experiment with gravity manipulation and trying to become adept at lining up exactly where you want to land or aiming a gravity kick at an enemies weak spot. It takes a lot of getting used to, at least it did for me, but with enough time all those things you'll be able to pull off with relative ease. It just becomes second nature after a while. And don't worry about any challenges until you've upgraded the move list a few times, otherwise they're needlessly difficult and you're just going to end up punishing yourself for no reason.

But yeah, like you say, all those components like the soundtrack, main character, story presentation - they're all top-notch. Such a terrific game.

 

[Mondriaan]

Good for GungHo. Personally, I've worn myself out on Ragnarok Odyssey and won't be back for a full priced expansion.

Unless they buff the heck out of mages!

New features sound nice though, especially the mercenary NPC thing. Game is really annoying to play solo (I only stuck with it because I had a local co-op buddy for the entire campaign).

Why wasn't playing online an option for you? The online feature worked well enough IMO.

I'm definitely interested in the title, but I hope they've de-emphasized aerial battles. They kind of suck just like all aquatic battles in MH Tri and MH Tri Ultimate.

 

[VanWinkle]

What would be totally awesome is if there was some way to store all your bubbles in the vita's internal memory (how much is there?) So that all your bubbles are there always and if you click the bubble it will respond in a similar way to when you have to insert a game card. This way its almost no big deal to have to swap cards.

Does that make sense to anyone?

Yes, I've been thinking this for awhile. Although I do think they need to have some indication of what games are on the card that's currently in the Vita and which ones are not (some little symbol by the bubble or something). That way you don't have to go in to a live area and try starting up a game just to see if its on that card or not. But yeah, we definitely need something so it's not such a hassle switching cards.

You guys catch this gem on EU blog?

In response to this question

Also a Vita FW update to stack your games in folders and for the memory card to save the layout of apps and games etc, so if you swap memory cards you don’t get a jumbled mess!

Vita firmware – we may have good news for you very soon

Thank you for the replies about Gravity Rush fellow GAFfers. It's indeed a great game and I'm happy that there won't be a big spike in Difficulty later on.

Soon, PS Plus users are going to get Zero Escape VLR. I heard there's some problems with the saves on the DS, is there going to be the same trouble on the Vita? Can we do something about it?

Yes! Finally! I can properly hide fucking Welcome Park!

The save bug found in the 3DS version of VLR is not found in the Vita version.

 

[Schlomo]

Check before taking the plunge. I think the majority use the same save, but there are exceptions.

I was specifically thinking of Gravity Rush. The saves are not visible anywhere separately from the installed game like on PS3, are they?

 

[Jamix012]

I can't even begin to imagine how much those things would cost.

Is it bad that I would still buy them?

 

[kiyomi]

fucking Welcome Park

That's one hell of a welcome.

Happy birthday, Zero.

If they fix their shitty system so that my bubbles don't get fucked up when i swap memory cards, i have no problem buying another 32GB

 

[Ran rp]

Drinkbox are fucking awesome, end of story. Everyone has to buy Guacamelee, because i said so.

Have they hired you yet?

 

[The_Monk]

Great news, thank you guys. I must say that I'm loving my Vita but it's rather nice to see the GAF-Vita community so awesome and kind while helping others.

The only thing I really wanted now would be Persona 4 but that will have to wait a bit longer... :/

Also, I still don't have any Case for my Vita. I love those clean, simple, minimalistic look but so far no luck. Here's what I would love to get or anything similar:

I'm in Europe and I shop mostly in Amazon.uk or similar with international Shipping.

 

[Carl]

Have they hired you yet?

Haha no. They're sending me a copy of Guacamelee though <3 Love those guys! Everyone buy Guacamelee

 

[Number45]

Yeah, I meant you need to search on a case by case basis. If there's a list of games that it works on I haven't come across it. With that said Gravity Rush works fine according to a few posters on Gamefaqs (I just did this search.

Is it bad that I would still buy them?

Yeah, I probably would too if I felt I needed it. I'm pretty good with my housekeeping though so I don't have any issues with my 32GB just yet.

I'm in Europe and I shop mostly in Amazon.uk or similar with international Shipping.

You can import those from Play Asia, as far as I know they weren't officially released outside of Japan.

 

[ZeroAKA]

Haha no. They're sending me a copy of Guacamelee though <3 Love those guys! Everyone buy Guacamelee

I don't think I can take you seriously anymore now that you've been moneyhatted by Drinkbox.

Spoiler

Will buy.

 

[Schobeleth]

Wait so Meruru is confirmed for the west too? I still haven't beaten any of the other ones... I really need to focus on a game to beat+platinum on Vita. I'm thinking Uncharted, perhaps?

 

[Carl]

I would have bought it anyway, so...

They're great guys, seriously.

Nice.

there are many things I want

-a dedicated bubble to save all of our PSP/PSone settings for all games(so we don't have to change it everytime).
-More options for CMA (like just copying the saves)
-Better remote play(like the one in CFW PS3 with Vita)
-update the PSP emulator (2xAA,screenshots feature for PSone and PSP games..ect).
-also add some AA for the damn bubbles.
-the ability to switch accounts without swapping cards.
-more language supports.
-Streetpass clone(no Near is not the same thing)
-option to turn off the text under the bubbles.
-more themes

I've never found online to be as fun as local when it comes to working together with someone (competitive is fine). I don't plan on playing SS online much either - or at least nowhere near as much as local.

 

[LuchaShaq]

Imo epic mickey 2(if sells enough) is a sort of sony's troian horse or a disney's tax to get disney games on vita.
If epic mickey 2 will sell well then we'll probably see infinity and other disney games, otherwise...

Well at that point they are better off selling literal shit in a box that tricking people into buying epic mickey 2 and then those same people assuming all Disney games are trash.

 

[Paskil]

Haha no. They're sending me a copy of Guacamelee though <3 Love those guys! Everyone buy Guacamelee

Is this a physical copy, by chance? I would love to have a physical copy, even if it cost more.

 

[Carl]

Nah, just a download code. No physical copies

 

[Certinty]

Can't believe we don't have Netflix on the Vita here in the UK, it's been over a damn year!

So annoying!

 

[FoxhoundNL]

Confirmed for Wednesday but I don't think we have a price yet.

Thanks. Hopefully it's not a $15 = €15 case. Still have €4,56 in my wallet, so hopefully we'll get a fair price, so I don't have to add more then €10,-.

I'm using my Vita as my go to PS3 trophy device lately. The menu works 1000x faster/less laggy then PS3's XMB. I actually care (somewhat) about trophies now. It's nice to have a game's trophy list ready while playing a game on the big screen. Only thing they could improve on PS3 is automatic and instant trophy syncing, but I'm not expecting that seeing as PS4 is around the corner.

Nice list.
There are some things I think you have a little off (remote play is done for games that *don't* support it via CFW PS3, you don't need a CFW Vita to do it, I think) and some things I couldn't give 3 fucks about (streetpass clone)... but hey, I'll take improvements whenever/wherever they make them.

 

[erpg]

-option to turn off the text under the bubbles.

This is secretely my most wanted feature. Screw folders, I just don't want to see "Disgaea 3: Absence of ..." and "LittleBigPlanet®PlayStation®Vita&#8482;" anymore.

 

[breakfuss]

Umm...its like that with pretty much any game. Did you not think it was worthy of a review embargo?

Um, no, it's not like that with every game. I've expressed my disdain for the practice with other releases as well. It's a cowardly thing to do. I understand why some exceptions must be made (narrative driven games, blockbuster releases), but c'mon. It's even more disconcerting that they have a timed "exclusive" with IGN. Thankfully the game looks awesome, lol?

Are we dismissing PSN/XBL games as not the same of those found on retail shelves?

No, but a game that has 5 hours of content certainly doesn't warrant an embargo. That said, as apathetic as I was towards Mutant Blob, this game looks charming as hell. I'll probably pick it up.

 

[crinale]

I've also seen the rumor regarding the next firmware supporting folders.
It'll be great if it does

yeah I got that mixed,a CFW PS3 is what needed for it.

that's one feature i always forget about. i would love it as well. i don't think you can even do it in ios though, so i feel like it might not ever come.

i can't wait for folders and memory cards that save the bubble arrangements though.

 

[OmegaZero]

Senran Kagura is pretty fun so far. Reminds me of Dynasty Warriors Strike Force.

 

[Holmes]

Gematsu says Ragnarok Odyssey Ace (enhanced re-release with a bunch of extra content) is getting a western release.

Aw yeah! Gonna platinum this so hard (again?). Everything looks so much better from what I've heard and seen in the screenshots. I just wish that there were new jobs or that the existing ones are rebalanced (endgame Assassin kills everything).

 

[Totobeni]

Senran Kagura is pretty fun so far. Reminds me of Dynasty Warriors Strike Force.

yeah,it is actually very decent,I'm really shocked that I'm enjoying a game from the genre again (last game I liked from the genre was Chaos Legion).

Turning off text labels is a great idea. I do that with my phone.

Wow so i'm not the only one that liked that game?
To be honest i loved that game so much that i want a remake or a sequel for vita(or ps3/4 sice we are talking about capcom)
Edit:
well now that i think about it all my friends liked it lol.

*bro fist*

Chaos Legion is freaking good,very underrated but it's is one of the best capcom games of last gen.

story-wise is there any chance for a sequel tho? (also the novel got no sequel right?)

 

[VanWinkle]

Senran Kagura is pretty fun so far. Reminds me of Dynasty Warriors Strike Force.

It seems like practically every non-Sony-published Japanese Vita game is native res. Granted, most of them aren't quite as graphics intensive, but still.

Actually, I guess NGS2+, DoA5+, and P4G aren't, but most of them are.

I didn't know it had a novel!

Spoiler

The two main characters were alive in the end, so i don't see the problem,

anyway capcom could make a sequel with different characters.

Oh man with all this talk now i want to replay it

I want to replay it too,but playing on SD is no no,do you know if the PC version any good?(new PC version are super cheap) or should I just use my copy with PCSX2

I have the pc version, but i don't know if it's better or worse than the ps2 version.
The only thing i know is that the ending credits are different and the pc ones make me sad and nostalgic

that it I'm going to replay the game this week(will try the PC version ,hope it run glitch-free on Win7 x64)

Why is there no vita version of injustice? Damn I loved MK on my vita

well UE3 is kinda problematic on Vita so far,MKVita sacrificed too many to run well and Doctor Who was the same and then again they still didn't announced PC version..so many Vita version will get an announcement later or something.
