I'm pretty positive the game takes some sort of special pleasure in making my hands cramp up. I have the same problem I did with ddr, where I can keep the beat on faster songs and I get lost and tend to fail slower ones. Although with this game I am also struggling to figure out how to hold the fucking vita while playing. For now backtouch notes are turned off because I have enough to try and concentrate on. I'm enjoying the heck out of it but it is definitely a challenge.

I dunno. It just makes me feel like I've overcome a large feat when I get one, you know? And it's fun to collect them. I have a high tolerance for collecting, grinding and farming so it's fine for me.

Use trophy guides to minimize the amount of redundant gameplay time. Also for grinding I tend to do it while catching up on TV series. Hyperdimension Neptunia just got me though the 3rd season of The Walking Dead and the 7th season of Dexter.
I just listen to the podcasts my boyfriend is always listening to with him (so much Kevin Smith during Nier) or to Howard Stern, whatever he's listening to at the time.

Not overly familiar with the game, but from what I can see it's probably most directly influenced by Dragon Warrior for the NES. Though I would expect there's also elements of other influential 8 bit RPGs like Phantasy Star and the original Final Fantasy games in there.

Pretty much. But for what it's worth, I played through LEGO Batman 2 on the Vita last summer and really enjoyed it despite the hack port job from 3DS.

I've played Harry Potter version and yeah core gameplay is ok - but technical side is insulting to customers imho.
Just in case you didn't know; difficulty does not affect ranking or timing windows, only score and health(which if you're S-ranking easy songs does not matter, so Hard is preferable). IIRC the multiplier is 0.8\1.0\1.2 for easy\medium\hard respectively.
It will vary greatly based on how you play, if you're not using the back touch I guess playing with the Vita on a desk somewhat secured would be far better than holding it. Playing with backtouch I cleared all the charts using only thumbs and one middle finger for the backtouch, but there's no way I can do well on the hardest charts doing that. Doubles in either edge of the screen particular screw me up because I have to lift either hand away from my grip. The good part is that every time you pick it up again your muscle memory will have improved, and you'll usually do better than at the end of your last play session. Even just playing 20 minutes a day will help immensely.
Explain yourself.
Soul Sacrifice release date, if I had to guess.
I've got 2 national holidays, one the day before and the other the day after release. Can't wait to download the demo on Tuesday!
Aaah yeah forgot about that game
Typical SCEA/SCEE marketing. Hopefully the demo makes more people aware that the game is coming out soon, although that didn't help Sly Cooper much.PSY・S;53878383 said:
PS Blog EU and Amazon UK are showing different release dates, so we don't either. >.>

Got a star wars itch. Thinking about getting the PSP Battlefront II game for my vita. Thoughts?

It's got some missing levels from the console/PC version and it looks a bit like arse now (it was a very early PSP game) but it plays really well with dual sticks. I play it quite a bit and it's just as fun as the console versions without PSP's control limitations.
No single player campaign like the console versions, though. Just good for a quick battle every now and then.
I've been counting down the days myself lol. Haven't been able to play a MonHun game in years (not since my son cracked the screen of my PSP); the itch that needs to be scratched is strong. Won't need another game till summer!
...Or I should say won't be able to afford one till then, lol. Gonna be moving in a couple months; I promised myself that Soul Sacrifice would be the last game I buy until then. I only need to spend $20 too since I got $30 from the promo last month (Already bought Guacamelee and the DLC for Sound Shapes I was missing.
To be honest it's not usually my sort of game, but i loved the Japanese demo and i need to treat myself to something! Earning a nice bit of money now that i've got a job and i think i deserve a treat to cheer myself up after all the shit i've had in the last year or so >.<
Not my kind of game either. I'll try the demo though, maybe it will change my mind like it did yours.
Random site has an entry up for CoD 2013 Vita: http://www.zmart.cl/scripts/prodView.asp?idProduct=33165
No thanks.
No thanks.
That site is bullshit. It's a chilean store that have had a lot of fakes. Don't bother of it.

A straight downport of the next COD game with (at least mostly) the same content would be acceptable.
Last night, I saw the game CHASM here on Kickstarter where they say about a PS Vita version: "We're not sure yet. We're focusing on PC as our primary platform, but are interested in bringing it to anything with a d-pad. Some of these platforms are closed, and we just haven't met the right people yet!".
Well, I send a message via Twitter to Shahid Kamal Ahmad, THE guy who is bringing all indie love to Vita and he said: "that looks SICK. I want it".
After that, he put this message: "Hey @DiscordGames @RoboDodd guys, Chasm looks great. I work for Biz Dev at PlayStation. Hit me up on Skype!"
So... let's hope!!!

Oh... other thing, according to Gematsu, it's possible that .hack series have a remake for PS Vita.
Quote from CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama:
Asked about potential PlayStation remakes, said: There is a lot of desire for a PS Vita remake or for HD remakes on PS3 or PS4 of the .hack series".

Haha, I love Shahid. He's been doing great work.
That game does look really cool. So it's (kind of) a Metroidvania? I definitely need more on my Vita after Guacamelee.

Extremely insulting.
I... uh...
I know we didnt talk in a while, but we couldnt have grown apart this much... right? RIGHT?
Shahid is awesome!
tweeted him to consider bringing some of the following games as well
Penumbear http://penumbear.tacograveyard.com/
Polara http://htwgames.com/games/polara/
RAVENMARK http://www.ravenmark-saga.com/
Autumn Dynasty http://www.autumndynasty.com/
C-Wars would be nice too
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1054244612/c-wars-roguelike-pixel-art-pc-game
(I would love Shovel Knights on the Vita too!)
Someone tell me he finally tried to contact the FTL guys please >_>
I guess so...:-( You hardly ever post in here. I guess that's why
Yeah, Shovel Knights would be awesome to have!
SORRY. Had a lot on my mind lately so some important stuff like game release dates must have been pushed out
Pleeeeeaase let this happen. It'd be cool if we can communicate with other players through the game's message board instead of it just being NPCs talking to each other. If it does happen though, I think having 4 separate releases (or 3 if they were to do GU) would be pretty inexcusable.

Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate. Can't remember the last one before then though. Doesn't happen a lot. Although, then again, there hasn't really been that many big game announcements for any existing platforms for awhile.
I guess so...:-( You hardly ever post in here. I guess that's why
Yeah, Shovel Knights would be awesome to have!
we should get Toma and Shahid acquainted... Toma has a knack for finding great indie games.. and Shahid has a knack for getting those games on the Vita...
They Bleed Pixels would be nice too

Batman few days ago
I completely forgot about Batman (3DS port :/), but what about before that? The only thing I can think of is Tearaway.
If it's the same thing as the Japanese demo, it will have 4-player online MP.

Epic Mickey 2.
But that's a port.... of Epic Mickey 2.
EDIT: Before that? Errrm, Lego Chima DS port seen on the last page, I guess?
We don't know it's a 3DS port yet.
Also, Invizimals was announced last week.
What was the last game announced for any console? lol. Not really the time of year when new games are announced. E3 is less than 2 months away
Then they need to do something about Giana Sisters
yesss
I have a collection of Steam Greenlight games that I name.. "Come to Vita"
I guess I just don't pay attention to announcements I don't care about. @_@
