It's a shame Ridge Racer 2 (PSP) isn't on PSN. :/ If I remember correctly it has a lot of content (OST+racetracks) from the older games plus more. Really great racing game as well especially once it stopped babysitting you.

Nice work on that platinum!
Meh, maybe, hard to say. It is only a PSP game, so maybe my expectations were dumbed down a bit. Or maybe I just like it because so far there has been very little dialogue but plenty of actual action gameplay.

Yeah, RR2 (PSP) is basically just the first with a ton more content. I would have been mad if I bought the first rather than the second, but on its own, it's an excellent game.
I also, however, feel like I'm the only one who actually likes RR Vita (with all of the additional DLC, of course).
Imo valhalla knights 1&2 had good potential to be good games, but to me they were ruined by a single but very annoying thing, the exploration is like monster hunter(at least the ones on the psp, i dunno if the new are different), what does it mean? Simple, you accept one mission and you have to go from the city to the point of the mission and back, while at the beginning it's not annoying because the missions are near, the more you advance the farer the missions are and the more the encounters.
Another thing that i don't like, but i'm the only one, is that you better change your class periodically to get more experience.
For the rest they are not bad games imo, the graphics are not good but imo not even that bad, i like that the graphics style is not anime but "japanese realistic fantasy" similar to souls games and dragon's dogma(for some reason it looks different from the "western realistic fantasy" of skyrim, witcher etc)
Combats are confusing but fun, there are lots of equipments(visible on the models) and other good things.
But as i said everything is ruined by the travels that make everything extremely annoying and repetitive.
IIRC vk2 battle stance resolved the traveling problems, and infact it's the best version, vk3 has all the potential to be at least an enjoyable game.
EDIT:
I searched and yes vk2 battle stance has teleports that allow you to go to every area, this alone makes the game millions times more enjoyable than the previous ones.

I'm still waiting for the EU PS Store to give us a sale on Totori and EDF.
I soo want a EU sale on EDF.

It is so hard to not just order one of each... That is why I am ordering 3 or 4.... The Vita is by far my favorite platform right now and I actually like the redesign. being slimmer and lighter is a real night feature, plus the LCD looks pretty good.
New pics from PS Japan website:
I discovered it today too while navigating the Vita store. Maybe it's a new adition. Still, I don't think it's worth paying 7 euros for one month.
I'll probably buy it. It's 5 bucks, what I have in my store and I want a good racer for cheap. It suits perfectly. Controls are not clunky, right?
Ridge Racer with all the extra cars and tracks is for 25 in the Store. Not that bad, I suppose, but I don't have the money. And I don't know if I want to buy NFS:MW because I have it for free in PS3 with my plus suscription.
So I took my Level 32 Amazon and finally beat the main story for Dragon's Crown. I know everyone is talking about going to the LoC and leveling up blah blah, but am I the only one who kinda feels like you've seen everything there is to see about the game? I mean, I'm tempted to start a new game with either Elf or Wizard, but I'm debating on trading the game in and getting Killzone Mercenary. Help?

Got Everybody's Golf for slightly more than the digital version and I'm in love but this isn't scratching that Mario Sports RPG itch and neither will Mario Golf next year :/
REALLY fun game, though it's so ugly with the sub-native resolution. We need to have some of us play the game online again. We've had a lot of fun in the past playing online with like 8 VitaGAFers.
Considering the price that option might as well not exist
Infact i don't think that the single month of ps+ is aimed to us ps+ masterrace, imo it's aimed to the undecided, it's a cheaper and safer way to try ps+.

Man that Khaki one is gorgeous, I half wish I'd waited for EU release or imported.

Everyone plays pretty differently, but yes, you've seen most of the content the game has to offer -- so if you don't feel like you want to keep playing to max out your skills or get better loot or try new characters, then yes, you should probably sell/trade and get Killzone.

Other than the fact that the developers misspelled Artefacts (sic), I'm liking Kung Fu Rabbit for $2.50.
Especially now that I got the "Carrot Juice" Artefact (sic). It makes it go faster so it's a little more twitch like at times. Seems pretty solid so far.
Yeah, "carrot juice" was used by me pretty much the entire game after I got it. It gets pretty darn hard. I liked the game a lot.

Apparently Cytus Lambda has done well https://ja-support.psm.playstation.net/app/answers/detail/a_id/243
Man, I download LEGO: Lord of the Rings for Vita and it's definitely not a good game, at least what i've played:
- Controls are not as responsive as they should (and i don't usually recognise in-put lag).
- The game is clearly designed for a fixed camera, so the second analog stick does almost nothing.
- That DS graphic / design is awful. And the game seems like a bad try to be a cinematic experience.
- Those cutscenes look soooo blurry.
- Why a LEGO game didn't have cel-shadding?
I may continue playing a little more... i guess. I need to play something until P4G arrives, but i don't know if that game is decent enough for me.

It's been quite a while since I have been on here guys! I traded in my copy of Killer Is Dead, so I have a good amount of money to spend on Amazon. I was wondering if I should either get Dragon's Crown (I like side scrollers like it and it looks like it would be fun to play) or Tearaway (I have a love for platformers, but it looks like it would be a little too easy)
Edit: Oh yeah, the new Killzone looks sweet as well

Yup, it was a clear case of art only don't make fun games.
There are many new games I enjoy and love and I do post about them regularly.
Really, People need to stop buying handheld Lego games till they improve/fix them.
just go an buy Gurumin a Monstrous Adventure already.
The real question is why Warner's still leading on DS for these handheld LEGO games. That platform's nearly 10 years old ffs.
Anyways, here's an interview about some games no one bought: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4e2z8KrIJ4

Western publishers don't really care about handheld games (3DS/Vita) and treat them as 3rd class citizens, they just want to throw cheap ports, they know kids will eat this garbage without saying anything.
Are you able to play the Crash and Spyro games on the Vita? Last time I checked, you couldn't
Anyways though, Spyro 2 is your answer

Well, he is a lucky person. I would kill to play Spyro 2 on my Vita
Oh hey Frost, look at my post asking about which game I should get, you're the expert in Vita games, so you might be able to help me out
Sony payed the bill. It's a EU PS+ game.
And I would play Gurumin if it was here. But US only, so I'll need to wait until I get a card I can use for my second acount.
In EU can be played. I found weird that US couldn't specially when the Spyro game in the Spanish store seems to be the old US NTSC release (there is a USA flag xD

Quite possibly.
Are we done with DLC?
I thought more were still coming?
If more aren't, I'm going to retire it as well, I'll give it a proper sendoff with you tonight and then move it off my card.

Edit:
Ok, here we go, Cheddahz.
I loved Dragon's Crown -- network play works pretty well, they just patched it again, and EU folks in here will be picking it up soon, so a new influx of players are coming.
The game has a ton of variety in terms of character playstyle and customizations as you gain skills. The loot system works pretty well, and if you like the core gameplay, you could play for a good long time (I took 85 hours to platinum it and I'm still happy to bust out my characters to play if someone wants me to.) It looks pretty, it plays great (though there is some slowdown at times, but if you're used to the old brawler games on SNES/Genesis, it actually *does* kind of come off as nostalgic instead of something that mars the experience and makes the game unplayable). I think it's a great game for people who liked games like Capcom's Mystara D&D games, Castle Crashers (with more depth), etc.
Filesize is about 1gb, give or take if you're into digital. Patches are small, most are only a couple of MB.
Killzone is the best looking game on the system. The multiplayer is solid and the campaign has a ton to do if you're into the score attack/completionist nature (there are 4 ways to complete each mission; story, stealth, precision, destruction (or something like that). the latter 3 all have objectives you have to reach by the time you complete the mission [headshots/specific goals/time limits/etc.]). It's pretty much portable Killzone.
Filesize is large (3.3gb), and the day 1 patch brings it up to 4.5gb or so. Even if you buy the card, you need about 1.2gb of free space, so be warned.
I can't comment on Tearaway, since it's not out. A lot of people in here think it looks phenomenal. I can't find any excitement for it, personally.
I don't think you can go wrong with the first two choices, should you have an interest in their respective genres on Vita.
Cheddahz, I'll edit you in if I have anything for you.
Thanks man! I have some money right now and I feel like picking up a Vita game, so yeah
Actually, they did not misspell it. There are two correct ways to write the word- artefact and artifact. It's like grey vs (the inferior) gray, or ketchup vs catsup.

Ok, I dropped my opinions above .
As always, take them with a grain of salt, as they're just opinions.
Ahh, apparently it's the Queen's English.
Never seen that before.
It's funny, because I don't like it one bit. Just like I dislike gray (and refuse to use it).
That makes me a little less peeved.
And I learned something... thanks!

After everything you read, I'm probably going to go with Dragon's Crown. I only have a 8GB card right now, so Killzone wouldn't be a choice and Tearaway is something I don't feel like spending my own money (while it looks good, it's probably short and such). Once again, thanks for your opinions on some Vita games!
You have to be into 3D platformers/adventure games like Mario 64/Banjo Kazooie/Jak & Daxter The Precursor Legacy/etc. For people that like those types of games, it looks AMAZING.
Have to agree. I have put a few more hours into it and am seeing the trend of "go to point A, find x. Then go to point A and find y, then z, etc."
I have enjoyed it so far as it is pretty simple to understand, and gets you right into the action. Also, making a party so far has been fun. I like how your members are not useless but actually helpful. Still, will see how long the fun lasts.

I dunno about that.
I liked the original Jak & Daxter and Mario 64.
I love the R&C games, at least the PS2 ones.
I have SM3DL on my 3DS but haven't gotten to it yet.
So I generally like 3D platformers... but I just don't like the design/motif on a lot of it, which kills my interest. I'm open to changing my mind on it though, some of the GIFs posted in here do look great, so should I see enough gameplay once it's released that trumps my feelings on the main character design.
