It's not even out yet (but it's not embargoed except formal reviews). I don't even know the final price. Comes out the 31st (oof) on PS4, I'll probably have a video around when it launches. It seems to have no press, I didn't even hear of it until they emailed me. They're not super organized (which is surprising, the art has decent production value, game is generally fairly polished), it's launching on PS4 and PC and I don't know where or when the PC version is, haven't heard back from them on that.

Guess when did I buy my Vita.
I have a similar peak, mostly due to MotorStorm RC and SoundShapes

Yeah, the bosses are not the problem for me. For some reason whenever there is a cliff, I am always the one that falls off. Which in turn provides my friends some laughs.

My Vita kicked off with Motorstorm RC too! That, and Rayman Origins. I got theplatinum on both games(+ Motorstorm RC PS3 trophies which automatically unlocked), and Velocity Ultra after that, hence the peak, but still the average activity dramatically increased after the purchase. Vita relived my gaming life, it is indeed life.
I actually got my first working online room in the demo going an hour ago. It's still 2 active rooms max right now, but hey.
Surprisingly I think the AI is better than real players. And way better than me. At least at not dying.
But the demo only seems to give out pure steel and similar items now, and with no monster drops, I'll hold off on further sessions until friday I think.
And get on the new and improved VitaGAF Line chat. I'm sure people will be hosting games there once the full version is out.

Came in to ask about this! Thanks!

AI is definetely better on Kiwami, and they got some awesome Ability (Area) skills (now Nagi's healing skills affects everyone on the same area, instead of just laying a healing circle on the ground, for one).
As for them being better than real players, maybe you're just stumbling on people that don't yet know what they're doing
And I still didn't find an online room on the demo, on both consoles ( ._.) I blame timezones.

I was playing the demo at work, what timezone are you?

Goldzuka seal of approval. You don't have to be made of gold to have your own Vita!

Any impressions of the following releases:
?
- Damascus Gear: Operation Tokyo
- Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype
- Armored Core (PS1 Classic)
?

Söldner-X 2 is great. It's like an 80s/90s shmups (non-bullet hell) that's pretty intense, great port, though the UI is a little small. Perf/visuals are great. It's got a health bar which can be kinda weird, but I've had a lot of fun with it. Main game, going for score or playing the challenges are all fun. Good amount of content, shame there aren't more modern shmups like it. It's pretty accessible in that it has an easy modo and it's one of those games where you earn more credits by playing. I think you can either continue from level X or at least play individual levels.

Thanks for the impression. How does it compare to Super Stardust Delta, or is that an unfair comparison?
I've been reading this article on Kotaku about Bloodborne, and now I am so hyped. I could never really get into the Demon / Dark Souls series, but Bloodborne sounds like it ticks all the right boxes for me:
- It's faster-paced (making it closer to a Platinum brawler)
- It has a more interesting setting (I really hate medieval settings and think they're boring and dumb)
- It has a slightly more forgiving beginner curve (but still doesn't compromise on difficulty)
- No loot. I hate loot systems.
Probably going to get it this weekend.

Did it sell well enough to warrant a physical release or are they selling unsold copies from EU? Lol
Nope, not reading that article. It sounds great, but I don't have time to juggle Bloodborne, Toukiden, and multiple 3DS games at the same time.
Bloodborne on PS4, Toukiden on Vita. Problem solved.

VitaGaf, hold me, I am about to jump into Bloodborne.
Have fun and don't come back in here gushing about it please. I'm hardly able to hold back as it is. And I really should.

It's gonna be hard not to :X only thing stopping me right now is this goddamn 2.69GB patch. Speed it up already, god knows I'm gonna spend about an hour on the character creation alone...
That doesn't solve my time problem.
I'm curious about impressions from people who have never played or didn't like the Souls games.

Gotta warn you about those 2 things. It's not close to any of Platinum games in term of fast pace, just not feel as clunky as DeS/DS, and I can't really be sure about the more forgiving beginner curve, seeing I have more trouble in this game than DeS. The 2nd boss has bodied me all night.

Holy shit, patching is done. Off I go.
Less clunky is good enough.

Pretty sure I saw in the review thread that Jim Sterling mentioned it feeling more like Demon's or something like that
Which basically is all I needed to hear
Still a rental I like the Souls games, but I don't fawn over them like a the second coming of sliced bread. It's sweet that for whatever reason they hit the right chord to make even reasonably unforgiving slightly oldschool game design hip again in the mainstream.

You are sooo lucky. I still have a couple of classes to go. Even then, I am probably going to play Life is Strange first.

Yeah this is pretty great for me. When I heard there were less, presumably more different weapons I was excited.
Hard to compare; sidescrolling shmup vs Twin Stick. I don't even like to compare Resogun to twin sticks (It's much more defender than robotron). I love both of them though, but Soldner is harder and more focused on ship placement since it's a side scroller and you can't just waggle all over the map has you please, also you have to aim with most guns. Stardust is a more reactive, almost mindless sort of thing (I don't mean that in a negative way), where in Soldner you'll need to remember certain things to get the best scores. It's a more directed experience I guess.
Fine fine
...that's what you meant, right?
Bullet Girls is extremely easy to play in Japanese, even if you can't read any of it. There's a great guide that translates all the menus, item names, objectives, etc. The game would be censored if they localized it anyway, so if you really want to play it I'd recommend importing it. I got the platinum trophy pretty easily with the guide.

Exactly an hour to create my character lol. Gimme a minute and I'll post her here, I actually like how she turned out. Usually I am awful with custom creation.
Does the game have The Most Important Slider.

If it is what I think it is, it ain't that great. My character has that slider maxed for instance, and it isn't anything out of this world ahahaha

Yes, you can make a super tall girl
Finally managed to beat the 2nd boss, and surprisingly, it's much easier than I thought. After a whole night of struggling, I took a break and come back just to see that I was just being impatient the more I died. Was kinda panic when cornered, but managed to escape and calm down. The fight is only last nearly 3 minutes, and it still drains all of my strength.
That doll, though.
The character creations of this game isn't something to write home about, but it's good enough for the atmosphere.

bad gameplay lol
Can I pay someone at Sony to take that stupid-ass Rainbow Moon F2P stuff off sale so I don't have to look at it when I browse the Weekly Deals section? There's SO MUCH of it.
Also who in here is buying Damascus Gear?
