Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | August 2013 | Divekicks & Dragons

Oh man what's wrong with people these days?
I understand that knytt underground doesn't provide the daily dose of kills that people is used to, but dokuro is totally awesome!
Are we really arrived at the point of complaining about the "floatyness" of the jump in a puzzle game?!?!?!?!? smh
When people become so fussy to not see when a game is awesome?
But it's obviously my fault, how can i like games that are fun, original, smart, full of atmosphere and content like knytt underground and dokuro when i could like games that are pure frauds like thomas was alone that is extremely lazy, short, stupid, repetitive and annoying but hey it has well written few line of texts(not even that for me)! Or life of a pixel with its totally broken gameplay but hey it has levels inspired to my favorite console!

I mean if people did not like knytt, dokuro AND thomas and life i would think that maybe i'm easy to satisfy liking two of those... think of me what you want but seeing that vitagaf prefers thomas and life to knytt and dokuro is an extremely huge delusion.

People will say the same thing of LBP. It's not something that's needed to be fixed : \

They seriously need to change their community manager. I was in a honeymoon state with Bamco due to the localization of Xillia 1/2 and Symphonia HD. Now I'm really angry... but i'll buy every Tales the throw at me day-one anyway... *sigh*

And, what I cannot really understand is Diva f. They've done the translation and i don't think they will need so much work coding the game and finishing the rest of the localization. How many games will they need to sell to recoup costs? 500 copies? One Piece at least have some more work to be done.
 
I love Knytt Underground, is a metroidvania without combat, focused on platforming and exploration.

I agree about the characters being ugly, however the environments are beautiful and the music complements very well that world.

Also, developers say they want to make mature games, however they keep adding explosions and shooting to attract teenagers, meanwhile, Knytt Underground touch serious themes like religion, faith, homosexuality and family. That game is a little gem.

Why are you looking down on folks who do not like Knytt Underground and Dokuro? Even go so far as to say "doesn't provide daily dose of kills" implying those who don't like them are stupid dude-bros or hormonal teenagers.

Dude, what you are implying with your post: totally not cool. We are under no obligation to like anything offered to us, regardless of whatever words like "original", "unique", "smart", or whatever.

I am actually rather sad that my fellow VitaBro would look down upon me just because I happen to dislike Knytt and Dokuro, or any other games that you may in your opinion called original or unique. As if liking stuff "where we kill people" like Dragon's Crown or stuff is something that we all should be faulted upon.

We all like different things after all, no need to feel all haughty or disturbed just because other people's likings are not aligned to yours.

I'm suspecting it isn't matter of cost but Sega is afraid of cheapening the price by offering ps3 version for 60$ and psv version for 40$.
So they "removed" that problem for themselves.
 
OMG OMG OMG dragon's crown has arrived!

As i said my problem is not with vitagaf not liking knytt, because i can even understand it's not for everyone, but reading of gaf adoring thomas and life and then complaining about knytt and dokuro is really unbearable to me.
Again think of me what you want.

Then surely you must understand that Thomas Was Alone is not for everyone just like Knytt and Dokuro aren't?
 
Can anyone recommend a US based store to buy Vita retail games which ship internationally?
I usually buy from VideoGamesPlus.ca but I was wondering if there's an alternative...

Any particular reason for this? Such a weird thing to let other people's preferences bothering you that much.

And nah, I don't think of you badly, I am really not that kind of person. Just a bit surprised, is all.

Also, I dislike Thomas as well, if that makes you feel any better, hahahaha. One of the "wtf why am I buying this" moments for me for Vita. Got swept up by positive reinforcements from many users on the previous Vita thread, I guess :(

Well, Sega / Bamco could have put both games in DD only. Most people likes retail games and won't buy a digital version if they can. And they will build slowly a fanfare in those platforms. There are genres that are best in handhelds and I think rythm, hunting games, and musous are some of them. The three of them are very cool in small bursts and you can play them while you are with a deeper homeconsole game.

For example, right now I'm playing Tales of Xillia in my PS3. I don't like to play at the same time two or more games deep storywise, so those are the kind of games I would like to play until I finished the former.
 
I haven't played Dokuro but Thomas really is exception in the sea of showelvare artistic 2d platformers. Normaly those games are trash but this one is quite enjoyable.

There's a big difference, knytt developers chose to make a peaceful non-violent game in a world full of shooting and violent games, so many people could find it too boring, but regardless of whether you find it boring or not the game has lots of efforts, it has contents, smart ideas, and so on, it has some value, thomas developers just decide to make a lazy, cheap, easy, repetitive, annoying short game and selling it as an "artistic" game.
 
You guys should watch or listen to this interview about Thomas Was Alone:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ewfH6807yU
http://supholmes.libsyn.com/sup-holmes-episode-24-mike-bithell

The guy who made it (Mike Bithell) is very genuine and I think he achieved what he set out to do. He wasn't looking to make some kind of fancy pants art game, he was just working within some parameters/constraints to get something out that he wanted to make.

I personally enjoyed Thomas but it didn't exactly change my life or anything. It's an alright game, just some critics decided to call it the best thing ever and this went out of control.

Edit: also you're all making Mike Bithell sad: https://vine.co/v/hOwrbviE0gq

You can also probably add Square Enix to that list when FFX Vita doesn't come out here or they'll do DD which is the same thing to me.

Project Diva f of Vita would need to have either all the DLC contents included (which the PS3 includes) or have them on store. Clearly, Sega doesn't want to do the work for it.

Since they are not bringing Project Diva f, i would like to see them bringing both Miku Flick games to Vita or PSM.

These are poor comparisons. Knytt's set of problems is completely unrelated to Thomas Was Alone's. I'm honestly not sure what your angle is. That it's inappropriate to dislike one "indie" game but not another??

Imo bot thomas and life are frauds, they are both very bad games but they use their "artistic"/nostalgic coats to attract people and hide their big faults.
For me those "artistic"/nostalgic coats are no different from a ultra shiny billion polygonal dudebro graphics, i want good substance under the graphics, and imo both thomas and life are seriously lacking while games like knytt and dokuro may be less appealing graphically but have way more substance.

But i guess i'm too intransigent, i should just enjoy my beloved copy of dragon's crown instead...

SE is directly in my blacklist this gen. They aren't saying anything about the Vita version while we know prices and editions for the PS3. And the game was Vita exclusive to begin with. Furthermore we have Type-0, the fact that KH:BBS and Crisis Core are not in PSN, the FFXIII debacle their iOS strategy and not releasing a mainline KH in like 10 years (I don't expect KH3 before 2016).

I loved Square in the 5th and 6th gen and it's sad what they've become. They were my fav. company. Now it's Atlus. And i'm afraid of their future.

Although, I'll probably end buying both FFXV and KH3 when they are released.

I think MLB has its own team and that San Diego has always had other projects running concurrently. And I think a full development team capable of putting out retail sized games does not spend over one and a half years doing nothing but a barebones port of a small PSP game.

I have never finished the original amiga game, i hope the new version is not easier/altered/whatever but it's as faithful as possible to the original.

I love this amiga revival, even if most of the remakes are just plain bad lol...

I must say I greatly prefer those Amiga rereleases to modern indie stuff.
 
Since i don't think their is a new Ridge Racer launching with PS4 and the only recent Ridge Racer was F2P. I brought Ridge Racer for VITA. Hopefully, it will end up being decent enough for its current price despite the cut content.

It's no Ridge Racers PSP in terms of 'wow?!', but it's a solid effort. Just a touch anaemic and interestingly feeling a bit flat in the UI department. That might seem nitpicky, but after something like the PSP launch title with its stellar UI and sound design, I couldn't help but feel it was a bit of a downer.

I must say, I'm very surprised about the amount of people that dislike Dokuro. It has fantastic puzzles and level design. Its graphics are very charming even if they might not be the prettiest (does it even need pretty graphics?). Its music is also fitting with the game.

The gaming landscape really is changing when a game like Dokuro is not finding a sizable audience.
 
I thought Dokuro was balls. I prefer Knytt out of the listed titles, but i can never seem to stick with the game.

i think this is due to the rewards, or lack-there-of, in the game. play for 2 hours and you don't feel like you've accomplished anything.
