Hey GAF Look what I have done?

But no bikinis :(

downloading on PS3 as we speak! Not what to delete off my 32 GB!

Gonna buy Muramasa and DW from it :D

I like your taste! I caved and bought Totori yesterday too and am planning on buying the same games as you next week. Totori is fun so far. Had to kill FF9 from my 16gb card to fit it on.
 
this is just plain weird. so i bought a new Vita AC Adapter... and now the AC Adapter brick no longer charges my Vita again

Vita charges fine with portable battery... or iPad charger

Someone has bad luck with electronics.

Next, your Vita's memory card will wipe itself!

Yes, I'm evil.
 
Buying Totori today too.

That game has a ton of ratings, and I remember it being high after it was wiped as well when the bikini promo was over.

I hope it did well.
 
i use a psp-go brick with a 3rd party cable upstairs (total price was less than $5) and the officially frayed one downstairs.

if your brick is done, just get a psp-go charger and toss the USB portion (or give it to me since i have go)
 
Hey vitabros, I just finished Guacamelee and I'm itching for some more cheap indie action...should I get Hotline Miami ? How long is the game ? Is there a cross-buy option ? Thanks !

Me too on both counts. DW is iffy, so is DoA5+, but Muramasa is guaranteed for me.

I had enough room on my card, but if I pick up dragon's crown + muramasa next week, I'm going to have to make more room.

I'm currently thinking about Ridge Racer for some reason. For <$14, you can own everything... but I'm not big on racing games (though I did like the Outrun Arcade game on 360).

Edit: No longer considering RR after watching some reviews. It's a shame GGAC+r doesn't have online or proper widescreen support... I'd buy it for <$5 as is, but not $7.50. I'll just put that towards DoA5+ or something.


I'm agreeing with this sentiment as hard as I fucking can -- harder than I ever have agreed with anything ever before.
 
whats vitagafs thoughts :

A. take a hiatus from P4G
just rescued that first girl
and play the shorter games that i'll get from sale, as well as DC, Killzone, etc.. then pick it up back up during a dry vita spell - winter i'm assuming..

or

B. stick with P4G which will probably take me all of the fall to beat, considering i play about an hour a day give or take - which would hopefully net me some sales on the newer games down the line but miss out on the DC and killzone MP??

yes i can only focus on one major game at a time
 
After 2 weeks with a portable Tank, Vita feels like a feather now lol.

Ok, got and started Dragon's Crown (less than an hour), and I just don't feel it at all, I hope it's not another Murumasa. :/

please people tell me it's not Murumasa and will click with me soon, because if it's another disappointment from vanillaware then I'll cry.


Cat people are the Vitabro community.

wait a minute

Play P4G, save yourself some money. Wait for a black friday sale. Then thank me come that sale on PSN. :D

She said she likes my dog better.

This is why I have to ask millions of times how a game is and usually wait a couple of weeks to do it. That first week everyone's going "OMFG THIS IZ BEST GAME 4 EVER!!!!!!1!!11!one!!!"

I'd much rather people tell me what they don't like about a game instead of just saying its super awesome.
 
Is there any way I can get the Monster Hunter 3 psp version on my Vita with a norwegian account?
No, Monster Hunter Portable 3rd was never released outside of Japan. Most recent game in the franchise you can get on a western account is Freedom Unite. You might want to look into Toukiden when it comes out later this year though, seems like the closest you'll get for a native Vita title.

huh? but I thought Toukiden (from reading people comments) goes beyond the tired MH garbage?

Hey, I'm no expert on either game. Toukiden just seems to be the one that people seem to think has the closest combat system, with slower, more deliberate attacks, so if someone wants Monster Hunter specifically, I figured it wouldn't hurt to point it out to them.
 
Wow, playing P4G on NG+ is all sorts of ri-do-do-diculous.

(1) I custom set the difficulty so I'd be rolling in money and experience. I'm in the 3rd proper dungeon and going to rescue
rise
and my core group is almost level 40.

(2) Even better, I realized that there's no restrictions on buying personas in your compendium or using them. Just fusing new ones. Considering I had 85% of the compendium done on my initial playthrough... I just bought my level 85 Trumpeter with debilitate/heat riser/etc. This is going from easy to sleepwalk. :)
 
In case someone was wondering, No, you can't put Vita on your portable Tank, It just wont stay still, you need to put it in another place.

Toukiden is as close to MH as you can get on the Vita, right down to the slow-paced combat.

smh. because the world need another MH clone? developers should try to improve the formula and combat (like SS) and avoiding the badness not just copying. but hey thanks now I don't care if Toukiden get a localization or not.

oh well, maybe Freedom Wars will try to be something new(I hope).

That sounds soooooo dope. :D

Do you have to get all social links maxed out in one playthrough to get the trophy? I only have a couple maxed out and others that I haven't even linked to. Oh and do they carry over on NG+??

But did you make an invincible Yoshitsune?
 
But did you make an invincible Yoshitsune?

I made a Yoshitsune once, after laughing banana mention it...
Not sure about invincible.
If I had made that, I wouldn't be rocking my level 85 Trumpeter as default, I'd wager.

Details, please?

SLink MAX trophy is one playthrough (they don't carry) and sort of a pain, even with a guide -- I'm using one, but I'm already making several deviations and hoping they pay off (the guide was written for someone who hadn't maxed all the traits like courage, so I'm doing some things like skipping the jobs that increase those and trying to do nanako/dojima SLinks in their place... it's funny because I'm in June and nanako's SLink 7 was supposed to occur in October in the guide and I already have it. I've been holding off on reading books until I can get the hyper speed reading book again in August...)

Another side note I forgot to mention above -- since you carry money and Daidara's stock over to NG+, you can buy the same weapons/armor you had from the end of your last run IMMEDIATELY pretty much. I have MC/Chie/Yosuke/Yukiko all running with the top weapons i had and top armor. It's amusing like you wouldn't believe. Pretty much everything dies in 1 hit. ;)

--

This reminds me -- heckmanimation -- if you want to play P4G but don't feel the need to be challenged by the battles and don't like grinding, if you're not very far, start over and put it on easy or very easy. You'll thank me later -- then you too can be level 30 and flying through the dungeons in the blink of an eye.
 
What do you need for that?
I think it's one of those pentagon fusions. Totally worth it though, best Persona in the game.

The invincible Yoshitsune is literally game-breaking. You really don't need it, but you should definitely get a Yoshitsune with the skills Hassou Tobi, Power Charge, and Arms Master at some point. Here's mine for reference:

NIIIICE... I'll have to look into that once I can fuse one again.
I want the super awesome Izanagi-no-Mitsuo? The one that requires 12 personas to fuse. :D

You guys can rat on Toukiden all you want, but I'm looking forward to it. I like Dark Souls/Monster Hunter-style "slow-paced combat"

I would not compare Dark Souls combat to Monster Hunter in any aspect as far as the combat goes. I bought MHFU for PSP to play on Vita because I thought they looked similar. They don't play/feel anything alike though, IMO.

He's the only Persona in the game that can't be registered in the Persona Compendium. After registering the skill card from Izanagi-no-Okami, I never touched him again.
 
Grinding for fan katamaris in touch my katamari. Need to hit start a lot to skip text.

I will buy a revised vita if the only thing they do is make some raised start/select buttons ffs I hate this so much.
 
For whomever was talking about Totori in terms of download speeds:

Yes, I caved and bought it. I'm holding at least two of you personally responsible if it sucks.

It's been downloading for 4 minutes. It has 33 minutes left.

No crazy download times for me tonight. :P

If you have anything bad to say about Totori please do. I'm trying to resist buying. I'm supposed to be saving myself for Meruru. Don't want to have an affair with Totori and then try to beg Meruru for forgiveness.
 
Brief impressions of a few games I picked up this week:


  • Floating Cloud God. Had it as a mini and found it awkward to get into, right stick to shoot makes a huge difference. Such a charming style as well.
  • Alien Breed. Not sure what I was expecting, but I'm not impressed at the moment. Not a fan of the way keys work (seems like a lazy way of designing the levels) at all.
  • Hotline Miami is awesome. Thinking of going for the platinum now that I've finished it... but struggling to get A+ even on the prologue!
 
Looking past the perversion, the gameplay screenshots of Criminal Girls actually looks really cool. Wonder if it's another Shinovi.
Reminds me of Corpse Party, actually.
Yeah, I'm reminded of that too. Just like Corpse Party, they didn't bother upgrading the sprites to match the increased display resolution of the system and just upscaled them. Only it's worse, because at least CP had native-res backgrounds. Eesh...
