I'm so mad. I was really looking forward to Dustforce. Just played some of the trial, and the platforming, style, and mechanics are amazing, but the framerate is unacceptable.
Oh, also, I thought the dpad felt great while playing. Don't know what you guys are talking about. I thought the it was stick-only from that one post so I was happy to see that dpad works and works great.
Yeah, dpad works great. I can't play worth a damn with the stick. I feel my movement is more precise with the dpad.
Top of the page recommendation: Don't buy Dustforce Vita until they (hopefully) patch the framerate.
