$15 is okay! I'd be cool with $15. Problem is it wasn't even close to that price in PAL regions. :( Worked out at about $21 US.

i was going to lay into you until i realized that you are in Pal land. you have something of a case then. still, worth it.

plus you guys get all the PS+ breaks, so it evens out.

anyhow, everyone must buy Spelunky.
 
Why does the EU seem to get such a pathetic amount of releases compared to NA? I swear every time I check this thread there's at least twice as many releases under NA compared to the EU.

Because the EU gets twice as good games in the PS+.

Joking aside, I think it's because there are fewer companies that can publish JP games. I know SMT IV is still an unknown release for the EU despite its massive success.

NoE confirmed SMT IV for a 2013 release, then never mentioned it again :(

that is mainly because Atlus doesn't even have a European office :(
 
It's been rated by the ESRB for quite some time now, so it's really just a matter of time until it comes out.

Hopefully the Sly ports won't be botched like the Jak ports apparently were... :/
They aren't that bad. Jak II is worse than Jak & Daxter. I got the platinum in J&D, got further than I've ever gotten in Jak II before calling it quits because I *hate* Jak II.

There are some framerate drops in J&D, but I only saw them in one specific place in one of the first areas on a beach, on the far side that you rarely go to. For some reason it chugged there like crazy.

The only other issue was Jak grabbing ledges of moving platforms just didn't work. (which no review that trashed the game ever mentioned) He'd just slide right off, so the last level was harder than normal, BUT, it was actually nice of a nice challenge to have to actually perfect your platforming skills and not rely on grabbing ledges if you barely miss. Silver lining.

Jak II had more frequent framerate drops in the tediously large open world and the rear touch doesn't work that well to switch altitudes. I don't know why they didn't just map the 'dark eco' skill thing to the touch screen instead of rear touch. Tapping the icon would make more sense to me.

And visually I thought they both looked fine.

Was worth it to play J&D portable. People exaggerate too much. The fact people harped on them overlooking the inclusion of the rumble in the options as "evidence" of the "bad port" just shows to me that they're just looking for reasons to hate it because it's on Vita. Reminds me of a review of a game I read that complained about "boring font". When you have to go there... maybe it's not really as bad as you're saying it is. Otherwise, there would be enough actual things to complain about. Not something stupid like an oversight or font.

But whatever.

I also liked the touch screen use in the menus. Made navigating them a lot better... and the fishing mini game on J&D was easy as hell compared to PS3. Stupid DS3 deadzone.

ANYHOO, I really want the Sly and R&C Collections on Vita. D;
 
Any news on NA/EU FF X Vita release?

---
Damn. My school just blocked NeoGAF from their wifi routers.

As in it wasn't blocked before? So they saw you using it and blocked it? Lol.

Still no word on FFX. I can't imagine it coming out at the same time as the PS3 version at this point.
 

Awwww... I want to play it so bad.

Good thing a lot of people are willing to let me tether on their phones.


Thanks!

That might be it! I was appointed in one term to be the overseer of the Computer Lab. I did nothing but browse NeoGAF. I made the class copy each others seatworks and lab reports while I was sitting on the server browsing GAF. Everybody got the highest grades. :D

Yah dun goofed SQEX!
 
Ys: Memories of Celceta is awesome so far.

Anyone in Canada know where I can pre-order Sorcery Saga? Either version.

I can't find it for pre-order on ebgames, amazon (except from private sellers who are inflating the price of the standard and limited edition).

I asked Aksys on facebook, but didn't get a response.

At this rate I'll probably have to order from the US.
 
Teeeempting! Its normal price was disgusting.


Yep, finally something that is more tempting. I complained about the price around release too. Time to give the demo another try. I tried the demo before of Spelunky and didn't know what to think. So gaf, what should I expect of the game? How long is it? How are you supposed to play the game?
 
Because of next gen consoles? I pretty much avoided that entire party altogether lol.

Aye (even buying only one game, lol), but the Vita got some love too with Tearaway and Ys.

Spelunky is on sale?

Damn I bought my Vita a couple of months ago using the rationalisation that with the bundled titles and PS+ I wouldn't have to buy any more games for a while, needless to say that hasn't worked out.

Only in Europe.
 
Spelunky will be mine.

Own it on Steam
and of course never played it
but it seems like the perfect game for Vita.

It is, much like most indie games it's so much more appealing when you can play it in bites anytime you like. When you are at a PC you have too much choice I find and tend to play "bigger" games.

Suspend option is also a godsend.
 
I would buy spelunky if the offer is true.

I just bought this 2 days ago...

Worth it at twice the price though, it's deeper than Lindsay Lohan's vadge.

When people will understand to buy ONLY the day of the store/offer update?

I put up the Sorcery Saga OT.

No one will probably buy it though lol. D:

I will buy the eu version :)

Persona 4 Golden has shipped a total of 700,000 worldwide (inclusive of DL version) and was one of the winners of User Choice Award on PS Awards two years in a row.

Also, they're having a discount on JP PS Store (1000 yen discount). Which is bullshit, not because it's a low discount, but rather that they had the exact same discount on celebrating the 300,000 breakthrough in Japan. And that was only some weeks ago. -____-
 
I am new to the Vita market, didn't really figure it would be in the sale tbh (hoping KZ will though...).

Ah ok, usually every 1 or 2 weeks there's a new general offer, and in some occasions like Christmas there are additional ones, sadly not always there's something for vita though.

How to not regret a purchase?
-buying a game at full price at launch time means being sure that there won't be offers for a long time
-if it's Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday and there are no current offers on the game you want then always wait for the store update.
-if it's known that there's a bunch of offers coming then wait for them.

Remember waiting one or two more days doesn't hurt :)

I had the Japanese one. Only reason for buying it was the artwork is by Mota. Was not too happy with the gameplay overall so stopped playing.
What's wrong with the game?

Dragon's Crown has shipped 800k as well on ps3/vita
 
People weren't kidding when they say that Ys 1 is short. Bought the game yesterday and I am already at the last boss. Charming game BTW and nice soundtrack (but the framerate stutters blows).

Road to 1 million worldwide.
 
I had my Vita charge the night before. Went to Uni for a while then went home. My sister was asking me to let her play P4G. Tried powering up the Vita. Didn't turn on. Tried the home+R+power button but it didn't work. HEART IS RAPIDLY RACING! Tries to charge the Vita and turn on at the same time. Didn't work. I AM DYING! Searched the web for possible solutions. See my home button blinking orange. Turns out it just lost charge. WHEW!

What gives? I charge it to full yesterday and the battery was still drained. What's the cause? I know the last game I had played was Oddworld.
 
I'm glad spelunky is on sale, everyone should have this on their vita. It will come in handy and when the enjoyment clicks you'll realise how good a game it is and how much depth and longetivity there is to it. Not even that salty I picked it up when the patch landed a little while ago. Great game, going to try and get my friends to bie at the price.

Lovely. Sometimes I think we live in a nice world where awesome games get the sales they deserve. Then I see Tearaway bombing and I awake D:

God Eater 2 is getting an online multiplayer patch: http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/03/god-eater-2-vita-will-get-online-multiplayer-patch/

Localization please. D:

Namco already said that they were willing to do it. Seeing the Vita version at 300k must have vanished any fear they could have.

Is the online MP only for the Vita version? It may bust its sales a little, though people could just keep using that ad-hoc party thing if they have PS3 + PSP...

Was the logo on the charger facing the logo in the Vita?
You're able to plug the charger into the Vita on the wrong side which results in the Vita not charging.

I had similar problem and I was wondering why isnt Vita charging. Close exam I notice that the cable between socket & charger wasnt pushed til end of charger (I tought it was), its kinda tight one.
