I feel like I should get in on this Spelunky fun. Seems I'm missing out. But I also want Terraria and Runner 2 next week...
It's 3.75 for PS+ subscribers. You do have PS+, don't you?
BUY IT.
I gave up on trying to get there for now -- if it happens, great. If it doesn't, screw it.

granted i don't know anything about you really
i think you'll like runner 2 on vita.
i love on ps3 and think its a perfect match for vita.
We must all do our part. I hope things worked out for you on the can.
You are a good person. Play it at Christmas all cosy and it will be unforgettable.
The wound... she opens...
Okay it sounds good, will definitely check it out properly. I am of course worried it's a bit simple with the jump and slide but it's so popular I'll definitely give a demo a try or watch some more videos. The artstyle does look fun too.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Seriously pay attention to your own system + whats available to you and not what others are buying. You might enjoy gaming a lot more that way.

Well I did my part on Tearaway though I haven't had a chance to play as much of it as I would like due to school obligations. My GF loves it though. Fun, creative little game.
I get tempted by those Ridge Racer screens every now and then. If only it wasn't 30fps and so content deficient 
The general US PlayStation.com is wrong about a lot of that stuff. I'm pretty sure it lists all PSP games as being on Vita, even if they didn't get a PSN release.

I bought both (and promptly sold my copy of Tearaway once I finished it -- I fear the length and used market will combine to hurt sales of the game).

Those screens look nice.
I just remember the general disappointment most people seem to hold for it -- even when they're selling the game and DLC bundle for cheap.

It is bad for the future of the system. These numbers ARE important, no matter what you say.
If it isn't selling, there's no need to localize japanese games, for example. No need to make new software for it.
That means you have a hardware with a very low life cycle in your hands. And that's not what we want.
Well I beat Bioshock. Spoilerz
Final boss was patheic. I was expecting him to say "THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM" but sadly that didn't happen. Thought the good ending was really sweet with all the sisters getting to live their own lives, but the ending was kinda lackluster :\
Should I play Bioshock 2? I already have it because PS+ but to be honest I don't feel like playing 2. I'd rather just play Infinite lol.

Wow, so many stuff I need/want to respond. Pardon me folks, ahahahaha.
I am such a lazy bastard, I rarely get demo for stuff I am eyeing for. I prefer to just watch youtube and stuff like that, hahaha.
It's from a local guy, sorry, I don't exactly know how you can get it.
10 bucks, more or less. Applying it is easy, though it takes some patience.
Breath of Fire IV is *superb*. Folks loving III more than IV are just crazy, don't listen to them, hahaha, but V... well, IV just edges V a bit---just barely.
VI can get its head cut off and burned by hellfire and stomped by a T-Rex and falling to the endless abyss and choke under the ocean for all I care.
*Nods Nods Nods*
I am buying it just for the sake of convenience
Hoooooooooo........... this kind of setup is not bad actually.
50ppp is superior, I don't know how anyone can dispute this. Like, it's as clear cut as the sky is blue.
My line of thought is like this: "holy crap there's something bigger and now I want it."
I guess I am the kind of customer Sony loves so much. Come on Sony, give me a voucher or something will you!
But frost, you forget one thing: when you play it on the PS3 using six axis motion controls, the TV screen doesn't sway around as you sway your controller around, unlike in Vita.
I don't know how anyone can use tilt in the Vita version without feeling uncomfortable. At least with touch you don't have too much your Vita around wildly and can properly stare at the screen.
Eh, PS4 requires you to have PS+ to go online so you're pretty much forced to have it, so why not and get all the available goodies while you're at it?
My 1st Vita got a broken battery that sometimes for no explicable reason got better, then got damaged again, bah.
That mobile in Japan thread really send daggers to my heart
The point is, it's not like we can do anything about it other than to buy stuff to support its existence. So yeah, thinking about it too much will just impede your enjoyment on what is available in front of you.

2 was MUCH better than I expected. I anticipated it would be trash, because it wasn't done by the original studio. I liked it about as much as the original... I just wish they hadn't wasted their time tacking on Multiplayer.
I have no problems with it. I got 100% of the trophies in Flower on both platforms, even the "take no damage" one that pisses some people off.
Has anyone on here bought the Japanese Hyperdimension Neptunia accessory set? This one -> http://www.play-asia.com/kami-jigen-idol-neptune-pp-accessory-set-paOS-13-49-en-70-6odz.html
I'm looking into getting it, but I want to make sure I'm getting something that's good quality.
Play BioShock 2! Really loved that game. The story is a lot more heartfelt and the gameplay is superior to the original.

Edit: Also, I just bought Spelunky. Now I'll be able to join in on the conversation.

.It's not that I'm not enjoying at all. I like my Vita and I'm still playing it's games everyday. I'm not ignoring the negatives aspects though.

It's bloody annoying since I can't comfortably play it while on the bed with tilt, bleh.
Also,
A salute to all of our brethren that got cut down on Dragon Quest VIII iOS thread.
Not "ignoring" but "thinking too much about it"
Like I said, we can't do anything about it so it seems like such a waste of energy to think too much about stuff beyond our control.That NPD figure.
What was the NPD figure? I can't find it in the NPD thread.
Thanks!
Yikes that's bad; hope it's fairing better in Europe. At least it's doing well in Japan.
Ah, didn't know that. I only watch TV like twice a week so I barely see any commercials.
That NPD figure.
Yup it's beyond bad. this really will effect us Vita owners since it mean less games for us in 2014 as no one will like to put their games on a system that sell less than 80K in Novmber. it's bad in so many levels.
what Sony need to do is a PSP3 for 2015 using Tegra 5/6 and get the money from PS4 sales and get a deal for a new MH and DQ.
When lord Jack himself don't care? Vitabros word of mouth wont really help without SCEA marketing and good software pricing.
Is this suppose to give us hope? SCEA forgot the Vita exists.
It wasn't meant to give you hope. It's an attempt to rationalize why the platform is doing so poorly. As I said in that NPD thread, it's pretty evident that SCEA checked out last year. The abysmal E3 showing, and the continued neglect only prove that.

Back wall needs to be a proper wall (wood, stone etc), can't be dirt. So you gotta take the dirt wall down with a hammer and build walls with building materials. Also, I think if you build platforms they don't count as a room 'separator' so in your screenshot the four levels you connected with platforms (with the giant worm) only count as one room. Some NPCs also only turn up after events have happened - eg.
blood moon, goblin army, beating first boss
money for merchant, explosives for demolitionist etc.
I'd reccomend you to try digging till you reach some underground caves for ore and special weapons, and make better gear now that you have an anvil (couple swings of iron/ silver sword or even pickaxe) can take care of the giant worms pretty quickly. Also get heart crystals underground which raises your health for survivability. Corruption monsters and worms are super persistent >_> doesn't matter if you go higher up, they chase you until you kill them/ they kill you. Might just be unlucky you spawned in a bad place. Terraria starts out a bit slow but once you start properly exploring with good gear bosses are super fun to fight.
That's the point SCEA gave up on the thing after those bundles. SCEE & SCEJ is still putting some effort.

had m vita at work today... some dude comes up and goes " what do you do with that".. i say you mean what do i do on it or what is it for. he says what do you play on it - there are no games. he further refered to it as a psp. shockingly he knew enough about video games to talk about ps4, using remote play, and a bunch of current and old school software.
luckily i had Killzone suspended so i turned it on and shut him up.
but it goes to show how under informed the general public is, even the general gaming public
to his defense he said he'd get one in a bundle with ps4.....
but i did my job two weeks ago and convinced my other coworker to buy a vita. so my quota is done for the year.

WTF is up with the first level of Rayman Legends? I cannot get 700 lums for a gold, even if I seemingly perfect it (rescue all teensies, etc.). I think I've maxed out around 580.
Also, how the hell are people finishing the daily challenge in what looks like <5 seconds?
Also, how the hell are people finishing the daily challenge in what looks like <5 seconds?
Perhaps I'm being a bit naive, but part of me thinks that SCEA is still putting effort into the platform, just in a very different way than we're used to. It looks like they're marketing it more on indie games and remote play than traditional retail games. I think they're just trying a new approach when they saw that the old model didn't work out as they had hoped.
Like I said, maybe I'm just a bit too hopeful about this. I want the Vita to do well and while it does feel like most of the effort is coming from SCEE and SCEJ I'd like to believe SCEA still cares just a little bit.
I think you might have misinterpreted what I posted. I meant to phrase it as "I didn't know they weren't advertising the Vita because I barely see advertisements for anything these days." Totally understood where you were coming from (unless I'm misreading your post lol?).
I don't own Rayman legends yet so I'm not sure how the leaderboards work. Are they cross platform? If that is the case, it is most likely hacking. If not, I'm not sure. Some YouTube videos have people doing the challenges in 18ish seconds though.
Nice tips (especially the bolded), thanks. For now, I'm loving the simple mindset of "digging for ore/cool stuff by day; working on my house by night". Would be good to get a Vita Terraria thread going to share advice, stories and multiplayer games. I want to build.

This also seems off. I'm not pro, but I was getting most Lums that spawned in today's challenge and it took me 35.xx seconds.
Yeah, in my opinion the Vita was already as good as dead before it even launched in the west. The first report of sales numbers from Japan (after launch week) had the bad press going on and the momentum was already against it.
Heck, one of my brothers told me ~3 weeks after the Japan launch that he can't understand why I would buy this failing platform and he is as casual as it gets and only reads shitty newssites.
Combined with the shrunken market, it didn't even had a fair chance here with all those "NO GAEMZ" and "ALREADY DEAD" memes.
Showed the Vita to some of my friends and KZ blew their mind. Unfortunately, nearly everyone here only cares about PC gaming but they don't even own good ones.
Oh, my friend, make no mistake. It's not as simple as it seems. Uses all four directions on the dpad, all four face buttons, and the right analog stick (I may even be missing a couple of buttons). It gets pretty crazy.
^ Sounds good! I saw your excited post earlier about it as well, part of why it's on my radar to begin with, will try and save some cash and make some room on it on the card...back to the regular sacrifices now 
Thanks for all the detailed tips! Are you getting the game next week?
I did some checking and saw the grey dungeon-ish blocks on both sides that the soul eaters come out of so I think you are right about corruption on both sides. I have it saved nice at the anvil ready to check out what I can make and prepare for the next day...waiting for some trees to grow back - tempted to make a new world and farm it
Btw I hate how that works about the rooms not having wooden floors...but I have so many other (empty) ones built already I figured I'd just keep it like this, will be nice as an eventual tunnel base.
I'd like this too, hopefully it will pick up some more steam on tuesday when the US store updates at least although I guess...someone else could make a new thread? Bit lazy...
The PS3/360 community thread hasn't been active for months? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=528891&page=6 Is that the right one? It's really lovely on Vita :0)
I know VanWinkle will crack not too long from now, wonder how long it will take frost.
Btw Takao, the fps in RR is pretty solid and with the gold and silver pass you get 9 tracks iirc that are reversible, although the campaign isn't as great as previous ones and still a bit limited (and doesn't involve the new tracks much, if at all - can't remember). Online is good though, especially with ghosts.

Vita sales are down nearly a staggering 70% year over year in November. Clearly becoming the indie port and remote play machine hasn't worked as well as their last "failed" attempt.
Declining sales typically go hand in hand with a declining active user base, and with such a small user base I begin to question if anyone will even be able make money on Vita. Companies like NIS, XSEED, Aksys, and Atlus didn't exactly have huge success stories on PSP, and that's a platform that sold 20 million units in the US. Vita has hit 2 million.
I'm not disagreeing that the Vita is in a bad position, only with the notion that SCEA has given up on the platform. The "indie/remote play machine" may be a failed attempt, but it was still an attempt.

Man that's depressing. New vita owner here and I hate to see this. Really like the device.
Well Vita titles tend to do better digital correct? And you have to factor in during the PSP time piracy was a big issue. Everyone I knew had a modded PSP.
Next-gen hype is probably going to kill Vita interest for a while on the whole I bet. That will be the main focus and it's hard for most people to consider something else after such a big investment.
Give it time guys, still very early in the generation and the convenience is the secret most next-gen thing so there is still promise and chances for promotion down the line.
Btw a lot of these games that are coming out are pretty popular on the steam most played games, let me get the list.
The top 100 list right now:
A few of those top 100 currently active steam games are making their way. Obviously they aren't all killzones but it's nice to see them rank up there.
Next-gen hype is probably going to kill Vita interest for a while on the whole I bet. That will be the main focus and it's hard for most people to consider something else after such a big investment.
Give it time guys, still very early in the generation and it's the secret best nextgen device
Vita still ain't 2 years old and this may be a very prolonged Handheld gen.
There's time yet.
To die you must first have been alive.
Vita is done and Sony will be crazy if they waited more.
look at Microsoft and OG Xbox --> 360 jump, that the way to do it when you already no losing anything and can't sell much. end your system cycle early, make a new one early, and release it first, take full control of the market.
the ideal scenario here will be if Sony take Tegra 5/6 (as powerful as PS3/360) and make a PSP3 avoiding all Vita mistakes (cheaper, regular flash memory, full control layout..ect) and use money (from PS4 sales lol) to secure big deals all over the regions starting with lets say GTA, MH and DQ (again Microsoft 360 style) to take back the market and gain trust again.
waiting on Vita and a miracle recover is pointless at this point business wise.
and after the storm comes calm weather.
Don't worry. The lifeboats are ready.
It's gonna be a fun ride til the bitter end!

After a break for some retro-inspired gaming on my GCW Zero and Gameboy Advance, I've been back on my Vita for Blackgate and (finally) Dragon's Crown... Blackgate was fun, and I can forgive that it's not the console game because Batman on a handheld and stuff, but Dragon's Crown is the real surprise... I was thinking it would feel pretty much like Golden Axe with a couple RPG elements thrown in for fun, but it's much deeper than that. I was kind of put off by the art style in the pre-release stills, but the game in motion is a thing of beauty and the exaggerated characters really work within the context of this environment. I'm loving it...
