Vita version get, and everything went smoothly with PayPal.
Now, let's hope the hold shipping service works too! Because I'm gonna need to save a few games together for it to actually be financially viable for me

Just noticed on the page for the double pack it says:
Either LRG are going gangsta or they combined two works into one

Got the PS4 + Vita + vinyl bundle. Wouldve preferred to buy 2 vita copies and a vinyl but wasnt gonna risk 3 pages lol. Thanks LRG. Risk of Rain is one of my favourites.
41% for both versions, I think you had a good few minutes yet
Yeah, it's not selling out in the first five minutes.

I love Risk of Rain, easily one of my favourites of the last few years and definitely my favourite Rougue-like.
The game on was great on PC and with the Vita release it is now what I play on my flights.

I'll never have a full set, but at least I can claim I have LRG's full set for the Vita for now. How many Vita titles have been released so far by Limited Run Games?
Risk of Rain is Vita release #25. I think there's a total of 3 alternative covers, though (2 for Oddworld and 1 for Runner 2).
25 Vita releases, I guess they've set a new record a few releases ago.

Holy crap, I almost forgot to buy it. Set my alarm, sat down with some coffee and my chromebook, but spaced out and forgot to set an alert.
Only remembered just now, 25 minutes after they went live, when I got up to make another cup of coffee. Luckily everything was still in stock, and I grabbed a Vita copy no problems.

I can't help but wonder if the timing of this relates to the fact that RoR is ~ 30% left after half an hour (not that that's a bad result at all), just something that LRG are less used to.
And I can't help but worry. I'm sure it'll all be great, but generally I like how LRG have been running things. Although I suppose it's in my interests that they continue to innovate so they stay in business!

I don't think it's related, they've mentioned these changes for quite some time. Also, it's about time they become a full-fledged publisher and sign some titles under their brand. Take the success of limited releases and take it to the next level.
Agreed 100% Even with this thread, twitter and the website, I end up having to click on each game to see if a release date is there. It gets very confusing.
Could have a "Next Run [date]" and then a "Upcoming Run" as allow suggested.
I'm almost at 200 Vita games but I have really slowed down since last year.
I'm getting the LRG games just in case I decide to really go for the full set in the future.
I need to check my collection again, it must be getting pretty close to yours.
Hopefully they'll improve international shipping. With shipping/customs fees I ended up paying €66 for Ray Gigant.
It's pretty damn expensive considering I only have to pay less than €5 in fees to get a package from VG+, so I can't see myself buying from LRG again unless there's a game I really, really want like VA-11 HALL-A.

After an hour both versions are around 25%. I kinda like this speed for not worrying about getting it.
I'm at 123 physical, growing all the time though. I'm definitely not a full set collector though because there's some games I've bought that I traded in because I hated (Invizimals) or stuff I'll just never be interested in (FIFA).

Yikes! Just checked again and I have 85 Physical. I have a long way to go!
A bit OT but... So i'm not really so much into a lot of the Japanese Visual Novels or Dungeon Crawler games, and not looking for ports of existing games (that are available on PS3/PS4 etc.)
Any of you supreme Vita collectors have any recommendations for Vita exclusives (available physically of course)?
You know what would be awesome? If you all posted pics of those sexy collections. People used to do them all the time back with the old Vita threads, but I haven't really seen anyone post theirs recently.
Last time I did that, I triggered a lot of people's OCD for not keeping my collection in any particular order. I'll take a picture once all the games I've ordered from Play-Asia arrive, same for all the LRG games I've been holding.

This pretty much.
I think we maybe see less smaller games in the future aswell. It's great that games like Risk of Rain get the same physical treatment, but that's no stuff most people are excited for.
I'm always up for posting Vita collection photos! I'll post an updated one for mine in the Vita thread this weekend.
Seconded, don't let him get away LRG
Flattered, truly!
Mmm, Fata was actually a fairly tricky script. That said, I won't be doing it. If the game is picked up for Western release, MangaGamer's already-existing localization will almost certainly be licensed, and the same two-man team responsible for it have already verbally agreed to do the new Vita scenario. (And I wouldn't have it any other way.)
Totally agreed re: Net High (which I'm assuming you're talking about there!); I absolutely would not feel confident in doing it if I hadn't lived in Japan for nearly a decade.
Totally not a surprise there, Net High is a dream challenge for a localizer.
Also, Risk of Rain Vita get. God, if I somehow fail to acquire Broken Age I will be a deeply sad panda.
Nice! I'll be looking forward to them. I'll post a pic of mine too this weekend, and I'll have a special picture for those OCD collectors ;D

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I'm all for fewer releases and better games. On the other hand, some of my favorites have been smaller releases like xeodrifter, mutant mudds, dragon fantasy, and aqua kitty dx (which suprised me how much I liked it).
I've been fine with how LRG does business lately; I'm not interested in every game, but I also don't have to buy every game. I'd rather they release 5 titles and only one of them be something I really want than not release that game at all.

I like Risk of Rain, so I bought it, but I'm over it with my Vita collecting and if even I'm feeling fatigued, skipping releases so I can enjoy other things in life, I can bet the normies probably are too.
I'm here for Dariusburst CS, Broken Age, Rabi Ribi, Salt & Sanctuary, Ys Origin and Cosmic Star Heroine. Probably Furi and Night Trap if I can swing them.
I want Stealth Inc 2, La Mulana EX, Sine Mora, 10 Second Ninja X and 1001 Spikes.
Cladun Sengoku would be amazing since NISA doesn't want my money.
Real talk, though? Don't expect me to show up for $25 Taco Master, $60 visual novels, games I already bought from Play-Asia years ago, games we all think should be on duo carts for $40 (this isn't the "gee I dunno guys, that sounds like a lot of work. What if it doesn't sell?" early days), or anything I don't want in hopes of proving there's a market for what I actually do want.
I'm just one customer, and plenty of people have other interests + more money, but I'm vocalizing my own interest level and intent... if they're making changes, I don't want to get left out or mislead them.

Or surprise releases that I didn't know I would love so much, like Mystery Chronicles: One Way Heroics. That was one of my GOTY's 2016, and I would have bought it for PS4, if I'd known (or if I had more money to burn). I ended up getting the PS4 release second hand.

CLANNAD PLS
But yea I remember considering buying everything physical for vita at one time. Just sticking to games I like now. All the LRG stuff I bought is stuff I own digitally and like.

And then, LRG happened.
I know people that were actually upset with LRG plan worked out, since the road to a full vita catalog got so much more expensive.

You're not alone, Ninja. Mutant Mudds was a tremendous test of my patience. They should have been on one cartridge.

One theory: I wonder if the Dariusburst release slowed down subsequent sales.
The regular game was $60 and the LE was, what, $90 or $99? (I bought the "vanilla" release - that's why I don't remember how much the LE was.) That's more than LRG usually charges, so people who put their money into that might have had to sit out a couple of the games that came after (not counting the "collect them all" types, obviously).
LRG games are still selling out regardless, even if it's at a slightly slower pace, so it's certainly not a major issue either way.

PS4 at 2%
Risk of Rain is a BIG indie game. It's definitely out of Curses n' Chaos, Xeodrifter, etc...'s league. And it definitely got me excited
Steam owners / Score
(A few examples I grabbed from Steamspy)
Risk of Rain: 1.4M / 94%
Thomas Was Alone : 840k / 94%
Firewatch : 650k / 87%
Octodad : 620k / 92%
Lone Survivor : 590k / 90%
Oxenfree : 275k / 93%
Shadow Complex Remastered : 170k / 85%
Mutant Mudds : 100k / 80%
Furi : 71k / 93%
Curses n' Chaos : 46k / 60%
Futuridium : 4k / ??%
These figures must be taken with a grain of salt but it's still pretty impressive.

It was also coming right on the heels of Ray Gigant at $40. I didn't even really want that game, even when it was around $5 on PSN, and money was so tight at the end of that month that I had to pass on Flinthook... which was only $25 and I actually wanted to play that one, but I let it go because hardcore Vita collecting > PS4 pseudo-collecting. Had to re-evaluate my priorities.
It's not really just LRG getting to be too much by itself, though. Too many Vita games every month for years, from multiple retailers (even more now), lots of speculation buys, pricey imports and whatnot to keep up on.

I tried really hard to justify a Risk of Rain purchase, but in the end I just don't think the genre is for me. I bought Flinthook and quickly got bored; I've had a hard time staying interested in roguelikes since the PS1 days with stuff like Azure Dreams.
Still, it's nice to see it get a release for the fans that do want it.
I don't share this mindset but you summed it up pretty well.
My advice : get out
And yeah, surprise regional re-release are a pain.

PlayAsia/EastAsiaSoft collection packaging been on point tho ...$35 for game & CD and nice little box, can't blame LRG feeling the heat a bit from competition

Ok then, didn't know this. I have to admit, from all LRG games released before Risk of Rain was the only one I never heard of. And from what I saw it's also the least interesting one - atleast for me. But that's fine.
i don't want to sound like i'm trying to justify my purchase of the game but the ways i like to think of it is that it had a digital only release over here and then along came the bamco asia asian physical and i was able to get that or basically i bought it at launch and never got round to playing it until now granted i think most people buying LRG wouldn't see it that way because i'm sure a lot of the customers don't open the games and leave them sealed
