I took the plunge and got a Vita, what now

Tearaway_boxart.jpg


The most criminally overlooked game of our time, and one of the best of 2013 (easily the best hand held title of the year).
 
If you're into new experiences try Proteus.

It's a very relaxing non-game that is just fun to walk around and experience.

It has some amazing visuals and music.

Use headphones!!!
 
Demon Gaze
Mind=0
Conception 2

All JRPGs that are being released in their localized form soon. No idea if they're good, though.

Ys: Memories of Celceta was really enjoyable.
 
Get psn+ and don't bother buying games I guess

this. lol

the only 2games i have bought is wipe out. this game is worth every $. this game is never out of my Vita. and ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 because its such a nice game for 15$.

from the PS+, i have uncharted, metal gear solid 2/3 HD, DW next, Soul Sacrifice. Blaze Blue. Rayman and couple of others.

all hail PS+ . what an awesome service.
 
Do yourself a favor and take a look at the wealth of PSN indie and PSP titles available. A few games I really like that don't frequently get mentioned in these here threads:
- Patchwork Heroes (PSP)
- Corpse Party (PSP)
- Patapon 2 (PSP)
- Dracula X Chronicles which also includes SotN (PSP)
- MG: Peace Walker

Also, Disgaea 3 and Dragon's Crown and Rayman Legends. All ports, but I greatly preferred playing these three on Vita.

Also, NFS: Most Wanted is essentially Burnout Paradise 2. I also liked Katamari on Vita, despite it being inferior to Katamari Forever.
 
-Tearaway
-LBP: Vita
-Hotshots Golf: World invitational
-Tomba!
-Any PS1 games you might have missed as a kid (seriously its by far the best way to play PS1 games...outside of a few games that dont transfer to Vita)
 
Call me curious, but what made you decide to take the plunge? Was it on sale, and how much did you pay for it?

But on topic:

Persona 4 Golden is a must.

Followed by either:
Killzone Mercenary
Uncharted Golden Abyss
Tearaway
Gravity Rush

24 hour sale at my local best buy and P4G was recently on sale. I took it as a sign.

No Valkyrie Profile, Star Ocean and Crisis Core is extremely disappointing Square Enix. What the fuck.
 
Get Tearaway you will love it. Also Killzone Mercenary best fps on the vita right now plays and looks fantastic MP is really fun!
 
Get Monster Hunter Freedom Unite ASAP ! Still one of the best and richest iteration of the game.

Gravity Rush
Atelier Meruru/Totori
Hotline Miami
Tearaway
Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus
Guacamelee
Ys Celceta
Dragons crown
Soul Sacrifice

Plenty of titles to play with. You will have much more fun with a Vita than a 3DS.

Bullshit.

- Link Between Worlds
- SMTIV
- Bravely Default
- Fire Emblem
- Mario 3D Land
- Project X Zone
- Luigi's Mansion 2
- Pokemon X/Y
- Ocarina of Time
- Resident Evil Revelations
- Donkey Kong Country Returns
- Soul Hackers
- Mario and Luigi Dream Team
- Mario Kart 7

that's a fucking great lineup. And that's not even half of it. Quite honestly, the 3DS and Vita are both just as good, it's just down to preference. Saying one is better than the other is doing them both a major disservice.

Oh my. What a pointless attempt at thread hijacking.

I recommend playing Uncharted: Golden Abyss. I liked it more than Uncharted 2 and it's definitely the best TPS on any handheld. Some people aren't eager to recommend it either so that's why I thought I should bring it up.

You know in addition to everything else others have mentioned. Virtue's Last Reward is dope (although play 999 first if you can). Gravity Rush isn't in my opinion. Super Stardust Delta is another game I highly recommend.
 
Oh my. What a pointless attempt at thread hijacking.

It wasn't my intention, I was just stating how I feel about my Vita in contradiction with the 'Vita has no games' and '3DS has more games' memes (and I do own both handhelds). Sorry if I have offended someone.
 
As they should have actually shipped the Vita with Spelunky, you need to get it.

Bonusgames:

OlliOlli
Hotline Miami
Rayman Legends
 
I saw Hot Shots Golf mentioned and I also recommend that, if you like cartoon golf games like Mario Golf. Though it's a Vita launch title, so the resolution is horrible, the game itself is slick and wonderful.
 
Recommend me some games VIitaGAF. I largely play/enjoy JRPG's so I already own Persona 4 Golden.

Ys Memories of Celceta looks tempting but I'm on the fence. Are there any other games worth playing? PSP/PS1 Vita compatible stuff too pls

Ys is great and belongs in every Vita owner's library.

I'd also like to recommend Sorcery Saga: The Curse of the Great Curry God. Didn't get a whole lot of attention since it came out in December, but it's a fun, mega-cute roguelike RPG.

Lumines is the best puzzle game on the system.

If you're open to Korean music, DJ Max Technika Tune is awesome. Plays like Elite Beat Agents but lots more songs.

Gravity Rush is a must-play and is available for free if you have a PS+ membership.

If you like racing games, PS+ has 2 good ones for free at the moment (Wipeout & Sonic Transformed).

I want to get Ys but it's not out in Europe yet. Just wrapping up Killzone so will be looking for something new for the Vita. An RPG would really go down well, it being winter and all.
 
Nice you got Persona! Great game and It will keep you busy for a good while!
A lot of really great recommendations already, you can't go wrong. My favourites are Muramasa, Dragon's Crown and Tearaway.
If you like racing games I would recommend SASR Transformed, NFS Most Wanted and Ridge Racer (despite the lack of a career mode it's the last "real" ridge racer game).
Also take a look at OlliOlli and the Toukiden demo released last week.
And of course, like others said, get PS+ if you haven't yet. That's the best advice anyone can give in this thread.
 
Killzone Mercenary (And get yourself a nice Nyko Vita Grip if you can)
Tearaway
Muramasa Rebirth
MGS HD
OlliOlli
Soul Sacrifice
Monster Hunter Unite (dat 2nd analog stick)
Dragon's Crown
Dead or Alive 5+

That is all for now.
 
Dragon's Crown is the best 2013 game released on handhelds, get that. Also, Technika Tune, Oath in Felghana, Growlanser IV and Knights in the Nightmare.
 
Is there a "best version" of Lunar Silver Star for PS Vita? I'm thinking of getting a Vita before the OLED's are gone, and Lunar is a game I'm interested in playing. I'm wondering if there is a definitive version for the Vita (PSX vs. PSP version?), or if there are even different versions at all.

If there is a thread or resource detailing what the best version to own on Vita is for ANY game that has multiple versions available, that would also be a big help. Thanks!
 
I just got Tearaway, and I love the trigger grip.

Never played Persona, but according to everyone and their mother, I need to play it immediately.
 
Quick question I figured I'd post here since I can't make a thread and it's probably not worth it's own thread anyway.

I'm strongly considering buying my first Vita and I'm noticing that the 3G model is only $10 extra. So I'm wondering...even if I have no immediate intention of using the 3G or subscribing to a plan, is there any reason not to just get the 3G version at this point given such a tiny price difference? Is there any negative to having the 3G model if I'm unlikely to use 3G?
Thanks in advance!

Edit: Also, please inform me as to any "must have" accessories. I plan to get a 32gb storage card. I'd also like to get a good case for it, so feel free to recommend a specific case if there's one you really like. Any other accessory recommendations are appreciated as well.
