To be honest, Katamari is a smartphone game from before smartphone games existed. It's always been pretty light on content but the mechanics were fun/easy.
This used to be an untapped genre.

28 year old male of Sri Lankan descent, living in NYC. pretty interesting demographics for us Vitacats. the 95% male bit i saw coming, but the higher median age & international breadth is surprising.
i think our age range has something to do with how civil our community is compared to a lot of Gaf gaming threads.

No, you can't buy DLC from it since you can't access the store at all.
It'll be locked to an account of the same region
Posted my impressions 3 pages ago and in the OT. To summarize, it's mediocre. There are many better games to be bought on the Vita.
So many "young 'uns" in here.

From what I understand it, to level up you gotta fuse spirits together. So if there's a spirit you don't want just fuse it with one you want to become stronger and it'll level up.
Ah ok - so they don't gain exp from battles and stuff?

That's what I noticed when playing yesterday as well.
Furthermore HP recovery costs some of your resources, but I don't remember which ones exactly.

Bookmark this thread if you plan on using Destiny of Spirits as a time waster. Or collecting the very nice arts LOL.
Battles can give you spirits (5% chance or below, I guess), Summon Orbs, and Spirit Points. Some spirits appears to be Battle/Hunt-exclusive.
The Zone Boss battles makes that boss available in (normal) Summon. It'll still be random and they'll still be hard to get since Zone Boss are usually Rare class.

34 male Ohio, USA. I still need to finish P4G. How does everyone like Batman, besides it being short?
No, but you should use the white stones to summon minnor spirits and merge them to level up your strong spirits. It would be nice that fighting dudes gave you some exp, but it's not the case.
It costs 10 destiny (orange) orbs. The ones you can buy with real money.

Just remember that HP also recharge over time, so just leave it for a few hours and the spirits should be good to go
And fighting raid bosses doesn't consume health
West midlands is best midlands.
Male, 24, west midlands UK represent!
Playing way too much Virtua Tennis and Destiny of Spirits. I should really try and play some story games...

Is there really only one female VitaGAFer? I never knew that Vitabro was such a literal term.
It makes sense. The Vita is a little more expensive than the alternatives, and targets people who have the disposable income (in theory) to spend on memory cards and games. (Also, to a lesser extent, it appeals to gamers that don't have familial obligations that prevent them from being relatively hardcore gamers -- though the Vita-parents in this thread show that's less of a concern.) Late 20s/early 30s is the sweetspot for people who have money they can spend on something as frivolous as gaming.
Oh, and 33-year-old white male from Ottawa, Canada.
EDIT: The Entertainment Software Association released their demographics breakdown over the summer, and they claimed that the average gamer age was 30 (or 35, depending on which page you read). So all us 30ish people are right in line with what you'd expect!
Wow.
I honestly never thought that we have so many folks in 30 old years range in here

I'm enjoying, I think that it's a good game.
I posted some thoughts on it a few pages back

No, you won't get that information from me!
So I've been playing Proteus for the last couple of days and it's something that I came into thinking would be a complete waste of time and went away thinking it was kind of awesome. What the hell?
Did anyone play the PC release of this game, I need to talk it through with an adult.

I might. I don't know for sure. It sounds relaxing.
I can't really give a review yet, but what I've played of it is definitely more experiential than you'd imagine. It's a bit impossible to really tell someone WHY Proteus is worth your time and money without having them had already played it, which is of course a catch-22. There's a surprising amount of goal-setting you make for yourself within the game despite there being no real way for you to interact with the game in a direct way and I've ended up putting about 5 hours into it so far.
Also, there's a platinum trophy.
I never played the original PC release, but the Vita doesn't seem like it hampers the experience. In fact, being a more personal type of play, it may enhance the experience.

I am, always in for games that have nice art styles to it, just hoping it isnt too expensive.
Gotta ask, is performance solid? Also, heard it has randomized levels, true?
As far as randomized levels, yep. You can completely randomize the Island you explore OR have it randomized based on your GPS location. I can't really tell the difference between these two options as of yet...
Performance wise... I'm kind of the wrong person to ask. I'm one of those blessed few who don't really notice the difference between 60 fps and 30 fps unless I'm REALLY looking hard. Which I wasn't, because the game isn't dependant on it. I think it performed amazing, but someone else might see a framedrop that I missed.
It important part is the music, which never missed a beat and sounded amazing.
Um no. Katamari Damacy is designed around dual analog control, and is the only proper way to play it. It has no business being called a "smartphone game".

Sweet. Guess this will be the vita's less scarier version LCD. Good soundtracks is a bonus
When i meant performance, I mean was the framerate rough or smooth sailing throughout?

I'd always assumed it was like playing a game comprised of the sections, which is why I completely steered clear and have NO interest in the game. Maybe I'm wrong, but if I'm right... I generally abhor those sections in a R&C game, so it's worth making the assumption to me at this point.
No real interest. Experimental games are not my jam.
Agree.
