Muramasa or Dragons Crown..decisions, decisions.
Click to expand...

Muramasa is good but Dragon's Crown is great. Having played Muramasa twice (Wii and Vita, I like it that much) I can confidently say after two days of playing DC that it is the better game.

You would probably enjoy both but trust me, DC is superior.

Oh wow, top of page responsibilities!

Buy Dragon's Crown, obviously. It's superb. Soul Sacrifice is worth it. Fun game and tons of free DLC! Muramasa Rebirth is gorgeous and fun (but not DC good)!
 
^ I'm also really loving Dragon's Crown (my first import for the vita), pretty easy recommendation.

It seems I've been away for some time from the Vita threads lately fellow GAFfers, I hope you are all having fun.

I decided to try Unit 13 and it seems I'm bad at those missions with the Timers, the rest are okay (the High Value Target ones can be a bit harsh too). At the same time I've been doing one level here and there on Rayman Origins only to find out I'm terrible at these kind of games. Still, the gameplay on the Vita Screen is so mesmerizing...

I guess I need game to relax so I can't wait for the HD Versions of the Final Fantasy games. I want to get them in Physical form since my card is getting full quite fast lately. I wonder if we are getting a PS Vita Case and how it's going to be: One case with 2 games or Two cases with one game in each. Either way I need those two games for nostalgia and relaxing purposes (Loved the clean menus, need more of that soundtrack).

I've been lurking the Killzone Beta thread, since I do not have a Code (Europe here) and the game looks great, however it seems that the screen is pretty "full" with all that HUD. Hope I'm wrong.

Dragon's Crown was released but not in here, however a local store manage to import a couple of copies for 41€ and it took them one day to be all sold out... Guess I'll wait then.

Getting Killzone, both FF HD and Dragon's Crown this year would be amazing. Let's see how the poor wallet handles this.

I will try to report in here more often since my fellow Vita-Bros have always been so kind to me. Thanks for reading!

Lots of options to disable unnecessary stuff in KZ :) - currently a bug where the kill log gets hidden when you turn something else off for me, didn't touch the option to hide kills. I'm sure it'll get fixed though, not much else needs fixing thankfully.

Unit 13 and Rayman Origins can be quite challenging, part of the fun!

Haha don't worry you'll be busy and having a lot of fun till it comes out, easily! Should be able to get a code for the bigger beta in a little while as well, have fun and welcome! And of course happy birthday!

Thanks guys :D

Even though I bought Dragon's Crown for PS3, I may purchase the Vita version as well. I'm taking a trip next weekend and I wouldn't mind continuing my save file on the ride there. Plus, it'll make the train ride to/from work much better, lol.

They're different game styles. Just because you like Dragon's Crown better, and even if it IS the better game, there's no guarantee that another person will agree with you. :)

I mean, there are people who tell me that they love P3FES/P3P more than P4G. They don't dispute that P4G is the better game, but they still love P3 better. :P

--

I don't think I like that Killzone screen without the HUD. :shudder:
 
^ Shit got real? :P

Reminds me of the hardcore mode in CoD which I hated that they skimped on...in the actual Vita CoD game. You can turn off radar too but that's just crazy.

You even get an option to not get proper feedback when your bullet hits (that cross-hair icon change), pretty interesting - makes it feel so different. You have to actually watch where you are shooting and if you're on target. Bit of a disadvantage but really fun. Definitely using it for SP.
 
Not enough funds on my wallet to buy Dragons Crown :( but all the positive impressions are wanting me to go to amazon and just buy a $50 code, but then there are the various daily expenses to keep in mind.


Decisions... decisions...

I actually like the HUD on KZ:M. It's a little cluttered, sure, but it looks nice and it doesn't get in the way during gameplay.

Yeah, I'm on the fence... I just started clearing space pre-emptively. DAMMIT.

Exactly. The HUD is pretty informative and it doesn't get in the way for me. Just the way I like it...
 
I can't wait to read some kind of in-depth tech article on KZ:M. From Digital Foundry or elsewhere. I want to know everything about what it does tech-wise. I'm so intrigued as to how good it looks. It looks like it has some AA, too, on top of everything else.
 
Hey Kas -- hurry up and post those winners so you can break my heart. </3

Edit: Oh. You did it in the comments. :(
And of course VanWinkle won it. Seriously the only dude in WV with a Vita. :P

HAHA, no, there was one other person! I got scared but I got it. Thanks Kas, PSNStores, and Futurlab!
 
KZM looks amazing. I have a feeling the beta isn't going to do anything for me. Sports, shooters, and fighting are my least played genres. As much as I admire the game and wish it good sales, no hype for me. Hope that another game comes out in the systems lifetime that seriously pushes its limits. PS4 games to look fabulous.

Ontario had the most entries with 20.

5 states/provinces were no shows, show we have atleast 5 to give away on twitter over the weekend

Make sure to ask Adult Swim Games about it as it's ultimately their decision. We'd love to see it come out on Vita, though!
Click to expand...

Done and done. In the process of figuring out how to contact them, I learned Seth Green is a co-founder of Adult Swim. There ya go.

Random poll: Near miles on people's Vitas? Pissing contest time? ;)
 
Am I crazy here or Dungeon Hunter: Alliance a pretty decent Diablo clone? It got terrible reviews because of it's launch price, but at $10 I bet reviews would be much more positive. I really enjoyed the demo and I'm considering buying it. It's incredibly derivative, but there aren't many options of the genre out there. Any chance this will get a sale or be a free game on plus?

It's pretty generic. You should put that money towards Dragon's Crown instead.

I'm sure Dragon's Crown is leagues better. Right now I only have $10 on my wallet though. And I already have enough games for now, DC can wait. :)

edit: nevermind, I thought the game was $10 on PSN.

Hah, I just cleaned my card recently as well and now theres a 2.5 gb of space to fill with Vita goodness.

And a digital copy of Dragons Crown can be had in minutes, damn the temptations of technology! :/

What exactly is your procedure for "raffling off the remaining codes on Twitter Saturday"?

It's the last chance for me to get ahold of the game prior to it hitting PS+ sometime in 2014 (if we're lucky) -- I need to make sure I know when/how to enter and all. :P

Now that's one game I bought thinking there'd be a stream of DLC 'albums' to get after a while...I would've even just taken like one or two.

There are like 40 packs of levels in the crate thing. More awesome DLC like the campaign sets would have been great too though yep.

Will probably do dumb trivia, or randomly pick a few people that RT something
 
For Soul Sacrifice, are the Japanese voices worth the 2 bucks? I kind of hate the American voice of the book. Also, since my game was new, do I need to buy the online pass or no?

I'm all for anything that doesn't require instant redemption of a code. ;)

Some people like them, some don't.
I like them. Haven't used English language since I tried out the Japanese -- Librom sounds so much better speaking Japanese with subtitles. That and the "narrator" also sounded better to me.

Beware, if you pony up and download them, it's like 500mb -- and unless they fixed it, once you use it on your save, your save will require you to always have it installed.

Feel that way myself think P3 is better. Hold Persona 4 in high regard though. Still have my PS2 copy along with Vita ver.
 
Hey guys did you notice you can play PSP demos games on vita now? I went on the Vita channel on the PS3 Store and it shows PSP demos and being playable on Vita.

Gonna check it right now with the ghost of sparta demo.
 
Recently he was going on about how the new firmware saved settings for individual ps1 games :P

This is something else though :P


edit, oh demos? nice!
