i'm guessing it was in the black market with all the shop keepers thinking your were a terrorist.
could you be a little more specific (in spoilers)
dragons crown for sure no contest. better combat, deeper gameplay.
I played Muramasa and had a blast. The backtracking is not that bad after a while and the battle system is great.
Haven't yet tried DC (already bought it though), but I have a feeling it is even better.
If you have time to play both eventually I'd start with Muramasa and then DC in a few months. or start with DC if you prefer the multiplayer stuff and leave Muramasa for later on. Both are great and deserve to be played.
It was the secret castle level. There wasn't too much happening on screen. I was about to unlock Van Hellsing too : (
Isn't it also One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 day, which is in the same exact situation?

I have not played Murumasa, but from what I can gather from everything about the game Dragon's Crown is the way to go. Tons upon tons of loot, multiple characters with varying styles of play, and multiplayer. I've heard Murumasa has pulitple endings, which I honestly can't say anything about DC as I have yet to "truly finish" the game, but I do love some DC. heck, I just lost over an hour of power leveling in DC due to the Store's downloading glitch, had to turn the Vita off. But I enjoy it enough to want to jump right back in and do it all over again.
That is, if I didn't just buy Spelunky. Either way, you are getting a visual treat to oogle at, with plenty of solid gameplay. Muruamasa is defintiely on my buy list.

Both are great. I couldnt choose only one. I put about 25 hours into muramasa and 2 into DC so far. The really good thing about Muramasa is that the two main character's stories are very different so it's actually worth a replay with the other character.
I was originally frustrated by this decision, even considering a purchase of the PS3 version...then I got Technika Tune and now I'm just shrugging. Turns out I care a lot more about just having a new, quality music game than having a Miku game. Add in the convenience of portability and the advantage of not irritating my fiancé with hours of robotvoice and it's Sega's loss, Pentavision's gain.
If they change their minds, I'll be happy to add it to my collection. Until then I'll be playing DJ MAX.

The further I get into Dragon's Crown the more I'm enjoying it. So glad I picked this game up. A lot of replay value.

Awesome, was hoping there'd be a demo! Now to see what all this hype is about. Will report back shortly to rain on the parade.
lol I've never tried it either. It's fantastic, and extremely hard.

Still waiting on a DJ Max sale. Really surprised its yet to have one.
For me it's both tight wallet and too many other purchases! I'm just trying to clear out my backlog before I get anything else new. I'm currently in the home stretch of Persona 4 Golden, but I have, quite literally, a dozen or more other games I need to get through as well.
I'm passing on Spelunky today as well, although I downloaded the demo.

Played a little bit of Spelunky and I'm definitely going to need to get some of those trigger grips. My hands were cramping after about 5 minutes. Game is still awesome but it's so damn hard to see some things on the small screen.

Spelunky boughten. The Vita version of course, because Vita deserves the credit. ALWAYS BUY THE VITA VERSION WHEN DOING CROSS BUY.
I'm new to cross-save. Do you have to manually sync the save files to share your progress between PS3 and Vita, or is there a way to do it fully automatically?

About to Spelunk.
I am sure Spelunky will continue the series of indie games on Vita outselling their PS3 counterpart.

No, but you can play the PS3 version via remote play! I tried it a few months ago and it ran decently, though with a little bit of input lag.
Dragon's Crown. But whynotboth.gif ?
Beat the level before it comes out, or once it comes out, you can kind of move around the level in a way to avoid it, since it always moves slower than you.
So it comes out if you're too slow?
Muramasa is pretty but loads of repeating backgrounds an enemies. Extremely simplistic combat and lots of backtracking, add in a forgettable story too. I got tired after a couple of hours.
The forging swords bit is fun but it is nothing more than standard grinding really.
Buy DC, it's the superior game.

Yup. Don't worry, he's intimidating at first but he'll quickly become not much of an issue to you once you play more. You'll be completing levels too quickly for him to even appear most of the time.
yep - after around two or two and a half minutes.
After you play the game for a while, that's usually more than enough time to pretty much get everything you want out of a level anyway...
ahhh making it harder to not buy this game ffffff
That's called the "Die Humans" bug. The Vita pretty much locks up randomly whenever trying to download something from the store. Only way out is a hard reset..
We've been waiting for a firmware to fix it completely but alas... no success...
yes I made that name up
The physical edition has had some admittedly small discounts. I ordered mine two weeks ago when Schobeleth posted that $7 off code, which is the lowest I've seen it go.
I'm not sure how long it's going to take before a significant discount comes since it's that expensive because of the licensed content (so there are thinner margins to support a price drop) and sales have probably been pretty bad. No one* was willing to stock the retail version of the game, so Pentavision has had to absorb inventory/fulfillment costs while having almost no visibility. It's a niche title so there's limited appeal even if people are aware of it, and then purchases from people who aren't big fans of the franchise/genre would be chilled by sticker shock.
...I'm not calling you cheap for wanting a sale, btw; just explaining why I think it hasn't happened/may not happen soon.
* I think Play-Asia started stocking the NA version just recently.

It's all good. I wasn't meaning anything crazy sale wise.
Probably would've jumped on it just for the 7 off. But that stocking issue makes sense though. Since I was wondering why it never showed up anywhere.

For what it's worth, I platinum'd the Vita Ridge Racer. I absolutely loved it.
