Oh, I was thinking of Oreshika in particular. I'll keep it in mind though. I should probably hold off for a while, I already have a ton of imports coming soonish. Or rather a few but fairly pricy

Hi guys, I'm a bit of a lurker here even though I'd like to be a bit more active.
Just posting here because I have a spare EU code for ModNation Racers Road Trip for the Vita, and since none of my friends have a Vita (they all have a 3DS :/) I thought I might as well post it here. I know it's not an amazing game but hey, it's free

Quote to reveal the code And please let me know if you get it so I'll edit this post. I hope it works for all Europe since it was in an Italian 16GB memory card bundle.

Since nobody got the code (unless someone did and didn't tell me) I'm posting this again just in case somebody missed it, if nobody wants it I'll just get rid of it since I already have the game.
I was wondering if it was worth it posting in the codes giveaway thread, but since most if not all VitaGAF post here I didn't really see the point.

As for Oreshika in March, these next 6 weeks are going to really destroy me. :/

DOA5 Last Round this week (or the next, it depends on the shop)
Oreshika
Toukiden Kiwami
Life is Strange Ep.2 (which I already paid for, but whatever)
Resident Evil Revelations 2.

I'm sure I'm missing something. Not getting Type-0 because I'm a bad person and I'm still bitter.

 

[2+2=5]

Not just big. Biggest. I can't really guess what's their ace card this time.

I don't think that the simple localization of the usual stuff deserves to be called "biggest", imo they'll announce the acquisition of the rights of localization of some relatively big ip or why not the opening of NIS Europe?

Oreshika on March 3rd/4th!

What?!?!?!
Damn Sony you are so bad at promoting your (Vita)stuff?!?!?
Oreshika is a big game that many were waiting and Sony gives the release date 2 weeks before on a blog post with no real gameplay screen or trailer and launch it digital only at 20€.
The price is uber awesome obviously but Sony is treating Oreshika like a cheap game imo.

ATM I'm at...$2.99ish I usually am always getting in on these types of promos, I've participated in every single one the past 2-3 years, but I'll skip this one mainly due to budgetary reasons, as I gotta pay my blasted car insurance among other things.

[eFKac]

It looks like 2015 is the year Sony sticks to their guns about going digital only on the Vita. Honestly they shouldn't have given in last year. It fits their plans with the system much better.

And well let's be honest, we had a bunch of people spamming the shit out of ps blog, and every other Playstation related social media about FW physical release, Sony naively gave in, and those Vita fans were counted.

Freedom Wars did not chart anywhere in PAL or NPD afaik. Can't blame Sony for not developing anymore big Vita games for the West, or even releasing the ones they still in retail form. It's lost money, and Sony is in no shape to lose money.

I'm disappointed - but not surprised - that Oreshika is digital only. Good price point though. Will probably hold off for now as I've already got too many games to buy during the next three weeks.

Is it just me, or does the Vita version of The LEGO Movie crash a lot? I'm not sure if it's a problem with my game card, but the game would always crash when I quit out of a level. Had to delete the game data and reinstall, which mitigated the issue; but it's starting to do it again. I'm finishing up the last few trophies I need, and it's really quite frustrating.

I think I'm finally done with Phantasy Star Nova!

The grind introduced in patch 1.03 is just too much. I really want to craft the new weapons and max all my skills but I don't have enough energy to blast through an endless amount of missions to farm items.

That being said, I really enjoyed the game and personally think it's one of the best hunting action games on the PSVita (can you even call PSNova a hunting game?).

The cast of characters was surprisingly great. Everyone's sub-story and development was fun, inspiring even. Fildia, in particular, was a great character. I don't even know how to describe her other than "Wow, this character is cool". Humour was good as well.

There was a surprising amount of depth in the combat with regards to how you setup your skill boards and special abilities for your weapons. There are so many ways to build your character, especially since you can quick-swap weapons. It was fun finding a build that let me blast through "The Last Date" in 7-8 minutes.

The combat itself was relatively straightforward. Even if you decide to stick to two or three main skills, there are a variety of skills to choose from so it never gets boring.

Base-building can be a huge timesink if you're into interior design. I spent a lot of time trying to build something that looked at least decent!

While I won't say NOVA is perfect, and it's not because of a handful of minor issues (some of which were introduced in 1.03), it is still a very interesting game that I hope more people get to play someday.

Until patch 1.04 comes out, bring on GE2 Rage Burst! Or Dragon Quest Heroes!

 

[bobawesome]

Booo no retail, won't ignore it at $20 though.



NISA means life



Hm. It didn't seem bad, but I was expecting something more like a couple runthroughs at 1-2 hours tops to get my monocoins/trophies for it, then just spam the "dating sim" elements, or is that pretty accurate?

Well, the trickiest in the beginning for me was finding the optimal hangout spots for the characters you plan to raise affection for. Successfully building something grants you tickets to hang out with characters of your choice and the ultimate goal is to win their

Spoiler

underwear/panties

You'll have to run through School Mode 3 or 4 times just for that as you can only get 4/5 a run at most, I believe.

You'll also need another run dedicated to polishing off everyone's report card. It's not as bad as I'm making it sound, though. You keep your cleaning/gathering level for each character so the gathering of materials becomes far easier the more you play.

What a sad week was the last one, my mother died because of a late found and not well cured lung cancer(she didn't even smoke) :'(

Let's not think about it.

I used a little the android tablet i bought for her and i was initially sucked into Marvel Puzzle Quest because i like good drawings and Marvel characters(=Xmen) and i liked the few other games i tried, but then i realized how poor they were and that was not the kind the gaming i want.
Really surprised that it's not possible to download apps directly on the sd... i mean, really Google?

Changing subject i don't really know a lot about Digimon Cyber Sleuth characters and story, so maybe i'm wrong, but the latest scan that shows the evolutions of the Eater has probably a major spoiler.

My condolences .

Not sure if I want to buy it immediately(when it's released) or wait when it's on sale(like 40-50% off ;P).

Since nobody got the code (unless someone did and didn't tell me) I'm posting this again just in case somebody missed it, if nobody wants it I'll just get rid of it since I already have the game.

I guess the code has been used by someone else(without telling it :/). It gives me an error message that the code is wrong or not valid anymore :/(or maybe I'm getting this error message because I live in another European country :/).

Oh well. Very nice and awesome of you to give a free vita game away .

I dunno, SK Versus is quite a bit of content--It's about 20 hours I think to do all the main content, easily worth the $40 to me. Besides that, Lots of great downloadable stuff on PS4 (and Vita), the swapper, hohokum, Flower, Unfinished Swan, Binding of Issac, Super Stardust, Geometry Wars, Transistor, Murasaki Baby. As far as new stuff, not tons of recent releases but Iv'e had a ton of fun with Neptunia Rebirth 2. I assume you already have the good stuff in the sale like Dangan Ronpa 1&2?

I think a big thing about them is that you have to find a LEGO game based on a licence you're familiar with/really enjoy. LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga is my favourite LEGO game - and one of my favourite PS3 games - but it helps that I'm so familiar with the Star Wars universe. I tried playing the Harry Potter game on Vita, but I hate Harry Potter and just couldn't get into it.

They also have a certain charm to them. Seeing your favourite stories retold through LEGO minifigures is adorable, not to mention the little bits of humour added in. The series kind of falters when they try to make a game based off of original IP - the Chima game had some solid level design, but the actual Chima universe is bland as fuck - and is strongest when working off of established brands.

I spent a small fortune between Black Friday and Christmas, between my son and wife (non-gaming) and the various deals I picked up for me. Way, way over budget. I also managed to score some PSN credit at a good deal, but then all the recent sales have me down to $50 in spacebux out of $200 or so that was supposed to last me at least another 3-6 months (in theory). Plus I bought a bunch of vita rpgs from gamefly used, so... it's just hard justifying buying more when I have such an incredible backlog. So $100 is out of reach.

i have 98% for vanilla MvC3 and don't own the game anymore lol.

I decided to stop 'going for the plat' on games that require several/ten hours of mindless grinding at the end. That lasted one game, then I found myself doing it again. Argh. Can't win... I automatically 'go for' trophies and spend the time the whole game, but lose my mind at the end if there are grinders. So unfun, when there are so many better games to play, but then I've already invested so much time into the other trophies it seems silly not to get the plat.

I will never understand the appeal of Lego games, unless you are less than 12 year old, or playing coop with a less than 12 year old.

My wife really likes them, and that's rare. Though we only really dug the Indiana Jones ones. The series needs a bit of an engine overhaul.

There's also a really robust character creation and customization feature that I didn't really have the space to talk about.

The system is very detailed which allows for some really great looking characters. You can customize almost any aspect of the face and body. It's probably the best character creation system I've seen in a very long time.

There is no armour in this game, only Shield Units so you don't have to worry about looking good while still being effective in combat. Instead, you have a decent number of costumes (and their coloured variations) from which you can choose. The game allows you to customize these costumes slightly by making it possible to change the way some parts of the costume are coloured.

There are also a lot of hairstyles and accessories.

And if you're a Cast, you have your own set of costumes!

Hope this makes you want the game even more! Sorry!

Yep, from the demo i played i really liked the amount of customization given. I remember people were hyping up Freedom Wars' customization but Nova's is better imo.

I actually think there is a decent chance we will get this. I don't know why, maybe i'm just delusional.
