After a close race, Atelier Ayesha Plus (Vita) won Game of the Month over Grim Fandango by just one vote. Here are the reasons why you should play Atelier Ayesha Plus, according to our forum members:

It's a brand new start for the Atelier series, it shows they've learned a lot and improved on lots of things people complained over the years. The Plus version feels at home on the Vita, while the art is [even more stunning] than ever before.

It's considered a big improvement over the previous trilogy in Atelier series and one of the most relaxing/cute RPGs out there.

FIRST

I see I have plummeted in the wall of shame. Tap Tap is now the resident Otaku lord.

Oh, Brandish shouldn't won GOTM. RIP.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

And subscribed. Thanks for the thread as always Zero!

I don't even know if I can like you anymore now, Fish...

I know, man. I'm basically just a lurker now. What am I even doing with my life?

 

[pariah164]

Mmm, dat new thread smell.

 

[jvm]

Thank you!

Also, I made the Wall of Shame® this month.

Speaking of shame:

After a close race, Atelier Ayesha Plus (Vita) won Game of the Month over Grim Fandango by just one vote.

Disappointed! :-( :-( :-(

 

[RK128]

Nice to be on the wall of shame once more XD! Glad I was more active here in January, so I hope I'm just as active here in February too .

Can't wait for the PS+ content (looking forward to playing Yakusa 4, Rogue Legacy and Kick & Fennick) while also looking forward to other stuff outside of the Vita (I know this is a Nintendo game....but I'm so excited about Majoras Mask 3D :'); my all time favorite Zelda game ).

Here's hoping for another great month for the Vita !

 

[cardinalmind]

Nooooooo!!! Brandish lost! Atelier is fine too.
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Gotta resub for + later this month, I have to pay school stuffs over gaming hobbies. That Yakuza will get my money later anyway.

 

[ZeroAKA]

By the way, the 4-way ties were between Ayesha, Brandish, Fat Princess, and Grim Fandango. I was rooting for Brandish.

 

[daydream]

It's still January somewhere so I demand a recount!

 

[NormalFish]

Zero, please change GOTM.

 

[teflontactics]

[Hikami]

Ended up buying 5 games in January when I had decided to only buy one game a month this year.. oh man.

Let's see how this month goes.
Seems like I'll have to end up choosing between

• htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Fairy (Vita)
• Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart (Vita)

Can't wait to play Rogue Legacy on my Vita though, love that game.

Spoiler

Ayesha deserves gotm

 

[FriedConsole]

Actually found what might be the best PlayStation Mobile game ever. Behind You is a great stealth Metal Gear style game. Really should check it out if you are into stealth games. Super cheap.

PlayStation Mobile #5 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNWFmoV9ADo

Behind You - Metal Gear like Stealth Game - FUN!

Appli Archives Jaleco Argus & Field Combat - More Japanese mobile games.

Ocean Craft Multiplayer - Underwater multiplayer Minecraft like game.

 

[ZeroAKA]

Zero, please change GOTM.

Ok, done.

 

[Yasumi]

Ok, done.

Perfect.

 

[NormalFish]

Ok, done.

pls

 

[daydream]

pls

good games are ineligible from winning this month, it seems, OH WELL

 

[Shizuka]

My GotM won and my quote was used, despite my poor english. I'm currently playing the game, couldn't be better for me.

 

[SerTapTap]

Wow I didn't even think I was posting that much

RIP Grim Fandango. FWIW I would have voted for that if I voted, which I don't

You caused this to happen by not voting on time.

 

[SerTapTap]

#PartoftheProblem

I don't do votes, rankings, GOTY, review scores. Rather focus on talking about good games and why they're good than rankings

 

[JPS Kai]

For the record, these last few boss fights in Criminal Girls are on par with SMT random bullshit.

Heard it here first, Criminal Girls is the Vita's SMT.

 

[Sarcasm]

What is this voting thing?

 

[wilflare]

thanks Zero for the new thread

 

[Flandy]

Atelier Ayesha Plus was GotM? smh. Xenoblade Chronicles was robbed

 

[Shizuka]

My February GotM will probably be Firefly Diary, even if it's only getting released at the end of the month.

 

[ZeroAKA]

Atelier Ayesha Plus was GotM? smh. Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F 2nd was robbed

I agree completely.

 

[names2hard4you]

New thread! This month is looking much better in terms of releases too. March however is going to be a killer

 

[Flandy]

I agree completely.

[Man God]

I really doubt I'm buying anything this month. Might finish Danganronpa 2 which I barely started in January.

First half of the year though the Wii U and 3DS are killing it. I'm putting down serious money over there. Second half might be PS4 time though, we'll see what Black Friday brings.

Vita though...I think I'm set. I'm just in a holding pattern waiting for deep sales on Brandish, Shinovi Versus, a couple of PS1 classics, and Grim Fandango.

Yeah, I have firefly diary coming, but outside of that I will be holding my money.

 

[YianGaruga]

At least Brandish won "Best PSP game of January 2015". Congrats!!

 

[pariah164]

Wow, there's so much sodium in here about the GotM I feel my blood pressure raise.

This actually convinced me to buy Ayesha once I scrap together the extra cash. Thanks, VitaGAF.

Go for it, Ayesha is a great game, maybe my second favorite Atelier title, right after Totori.

 

[autoduelist]

After a close race, Atelier Ayesha Plus (Vita) won Game of the Month over Grim Fandango by just one vote.

I actually would like to change my vote from Atelier to Grim Fandango to reverse this tragedy. Sorry everyone, but Grim really does need to win.

Better than Tokyo Jungle? Hmm. I also really liked Adventure Bar Labyrinth (fwiw).

Yeah, about that...

 

[names2hard4you]

I was gonna buy that, but then this month I also have the MH4U n3DS bundle with the game + Majora's Mask. Yeah I know I should give my Vita some love, but I just can't resist Monster Hunter (and I never played Majora, when it came out I was 5 and the mask freaked me out too much ahahaha).

If some surprise indie gets announced for this month, I will get that, else I'm saving my money for next month's Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters.

 

[Pandora012]

One day I will be on the wall of shame.

 

[Doombear]

I will never be on the wall of shame. I don't have what it takes&#8482;

 

[SerTapTap]

...is that bad? It sounds bad. Never played SMT. Unless 20 minutes of Persona 4 G dialog counts

 

[Shizuka]

Both standard and limited editions are now sold out anyway.

 

[bobawesome]

I'm starting to really miss my Vita 1000. It didn't constantly creak in my hands and the circle button didn't feel like it was going to break after a song in Project Diva f.

I thought I'd be happier with the lighter weight and lack of mura but I guess it was a "grass is greener" situation.

59-60 posts doesn't seem too hard to beat in a month.

I think the creakiness varies pretty significantly from vita to vita. my old Khaki creaked way worse than my current blue.

 

[FriedConsole]

Yeah the PS Mobile version of Tokyo Jungle worked but it was hard to not just want to play the PS3 version instead. I should try Adventure Bar Labyrinth.

You totally underestimate just how many viable posts I have in me in a month. Just ask Fish.
