Oh man, that SS demo is blowing my mind in the best way possible.
 
Anyone play the Frobisher Mega Fun Pack yet?

I'm wondering about the Leonard's Lamp minigame/trophy... is it a camera game or another vita gimmick game? I haven't run into it yet...

Now if only we could get a preorder page.
If Sony put it up for 36.99 preorder, I'd buy it with what's left on my account right now (after trying the demo) most likely.

They already shipped more than 200K physical copies (double pack counted as one SKU).
In Japan it's quite odd to call it a failure :D (BTW first MH's lifetime sales is like 288K.)

It'll end selling a bit less than the first portable MH. It, since the first was Japan exclusive, SS will be selling more, counting WW sales.

Soul Sacrifice is very, very good.

I feared that my hype might have been a bit too big for the game to keep up, but holy cow. It looks great, runs great, has an awesome style, interesting lore, interesting combat system and LOTS of replayability via the upgrade system of the powers.

I love it. Love it. Love it. Love it.

I am a bit bummed out about the restrictions of the demo (only 100 Lacrima, only up to level 4 upgrades) , but I guess they need to draw a line somewhere. And seriously, "Texture Sacrifice"? HUH? Looking at this demo, I have no clue where that came from.

Alright, installing SS demo now. Let's see what all this hype is about...

I think going into something with the mindset of "let's see what all this hype is about" is usually a set up for disappointment. That's been my experience from reading these forums.

Anyway, I'm going to try the demo tonight. I'll play with some people soon online if anyone wants to.

Not even sure yet how to play online. Do I need to finish the main missions first?

You need to finish the introduction missions with Sortiara.

Oh,I was trying to go slow because I heard that the demo has "only" chapter 1. Those arent chapter 1 yet?
 
Is there something up with the store? First try downloading the SS demo froze my Vita. Subsequent attempts are taking 1500 minutes. Wtf?
 
Thanks for the SS impressions! I'll hold off for the release since I already have it preordered and want to experience it in its entirety.

Feel much more confident in that decision now.

Why not download the demo and play through it anyways at some point? That's the only way you can get one of the spells in the full game.

You can take over the progress from the demo to the full game. Since some people played the demo for a long time, it wouldnt hurt that much to play the demo I guess.

But yeah, fantastic game.

Do I need to play through the demo to get the spell? Or simply having "some" save is enough?

I have another reason I didn't confess. I have less than 1GB of space left on my 32GB card and always hate having to decide who is going to be voted off of Vita Island.

Edit: I didn't know about the additional spell for playing the demo. That changes things. Alright games, start making your case for why you deserve precious card space...

Futureball! it works like pinball... push analog stick left and up/down (left side of stick), this loads a ball... aim between up-left/down-left and then let go/push right... you'll launch the ball.

Green things are worth the most... deplete the row of green things to get bonus and refill them. yellow things are like arkanoid bricks and your balls bounce off them. Score over 3000 points within the time limit to win and get +50.

I think transferring the save is enough.

Ahh, if it wasn't for the edit, I was about to chastise you!
 
I just played this game for... 4 hours straight. Last game that did that to me was Factorio. And last console game... uhm... P4G probably.
 
VanWinkle said:
So...Soul Sacrifice...I might actually buy it. Presentation is killer and the gameplay, tone, and lore intrigues me.

I saw you just finished the first chapter. They add really interesting mechanics with the story progression and upgrade systems later. Really, really damn well made.
 
corrosivefrost said:
Yes! Buy it. Then slay monsters with me!

Oh yeah btw. If a player sacrifices himself in MP, he is doomed to watch the level until the others finish it?

Edit: I just played a DEMO for 4 hours and I am nowhere near being done with it. What the hell.
 
Shadow and lighting quality is current gen stuff. If only the ground textures and resolution were a bit better it would be one of the best looking Vita games. Still looks a lot better than I thought it would.
 
Finally took a break from SS.

Wow.

The game blew my expectations out of the water and than some. The way some people were explaining it made it seem like easy mode but man were they way off. Just so good.
 
Dragon Fantasy is a decent nostalgic throwback. Although it doesn't 100% emulate a NES game, it does the job I guess. I kinda miss games like this and this is the first time I'm playing a NES-like game on the go with trophies.

Did you play the Zeboyd games? How does it compare?

Resolution? This is native res, isnt it?
 
Won't be able to play the SS demo until tomorrow, but I know I will not disappointed.

Like Demon's/Dark Souls, this game seems to have been tailored to my tastes exclusively.

Can't wait.
 
Toma said:
Well... yeah. I knew WHERE that came from, but I cannot understand the reasoning behind it if that was based on the same demo that I am playing atm.

:/

just look at the ground.

but if you still don't see how awful the ground textures are then..well I'd recommend getting one of these
