Awful, but charming.
If this does not prove that the press is biased towards vita I don't know what will.

I have little idea on how MonsterBag plays, but I'm getting it.

Monster Monpiece is pretty fun. But man the rubbing mini game is so dumb and a waste of my time. Wish I could automatically do it, even if it costed a bit more. Even worse that the game auto saves stats but not progress. So you can't just reload and try again. Will try quitting on the minigame screen to beat the save.

So I'll be doing my first OT, for Axiom Verge--anyone got suggestions on what to include/not? Is something like the Velocity 2X OT enough? I don't really want to spoil stuff by getting too deep into the mechanics in the OP--it's a metroidvania so items/mechanics are basically spoilers.
Never heard of that one, love the style

Tell me how it is when you get it.

Looks great. I have a feeling it'll be an adventure game, but I like supporting things like this.
i have no idea what you're getting at.

Yeah same here. No idea how that relates to Vita at all
Maybe because they're trying to ship a better game.
The famitsu news also talks that the UI will be almost redone for the vita version. And there will be some exclusive features.

I feel like everyone i waiting for impressions on this ahaha. I am too busy with school work, plus Bloodborne... Or else I'd take one for the team.
So is it an offline version or we have to play like the current browser game?
It will be offline so they're trying to add many things (like strategy elements).
The reviews either dont mention frame drops or they mention statements like this.
It may not be the best version of Xenoblade, but it’s a version of it – and that makes it a whole lot better than most.
The game gets good scores. If that is not bias towards ports on vita I dont know what is.

I still don't see it. That has nothing to do with the Vita unless you show that the same reviewer has said negative things about Vita ports before.
wow. Lol i dont even know what to say.

Looks interesting. Here's hoping it actually plays well, and isn't just another case of style over substance like Murasaki Baby was.
What he tries to say is that every time that is possible, even when it's not appropriate, most reviewers compare Vita games to home console equivalents and for this reason they get low scores.
He's not despising Xenoblade, he's just pointing how different are Xenoblade reviews and average Vita reviews, think if Xenoblade was a Vita game...

You mean a bias against Vita ports? What you're getting at is that the press gives a pass to ports with technical issues on one platform but not the other?
I haven't really seen evidence to support this for more than a year I don't think, well, at least since Borderlands. The Vita is so irrelevant now as anything but a Japanese import and de facto portable Steam indie machine that I don't think the press really care anymore.
Careful - we've recently had a mod come here and point out that we're not allowed to discuss that game.

Urgs. So no scanlines, version switches etc.?
Heh. I almost didn't recognise him.
Is that why so many people are ignoring my GotM voting post?

I just didn't make any decision yet, I'm getting TTGH today. As much as I want to give Oreshika my vote, I spent just a couple of hours on it.

Gonna have to play Bloodborne first.
I want one. It'd be the Deluxe edition, right?

I would assume so, just like the PS4 print. I don't think it's possible to buy the non-DX version anymore

This looks really nice. Seems like some love went into it, and it looks fun(from that trailer at least). Hope it will be. I'll probably buy it just because I dig the style and because curiosity gets the better of me.
Did they ship the PS4 version internationally when they sold it months ago?
SerTapTap
Member
I think so, I didn't try myself, but was through Fan Gamer who ships international. I wish more indies had physical runs and sold through single stores more like this, though ideally at a price closer to the digital version--the PS4 version was clearly priced like a collector's edition and had extras (extra copy for PC + soundtrack so you don't have to open it if you don't want)
Two DRPGs! Loving it!

Your avatar change made clear that Kiwami will win no matter what people vote.

The point is that Vita often gets treated like a home console in regards to reviews -- if it's not demonstrably the best version, it often gets kicked in the teeth.
You'd more likely see "It may not be the best version of XXXXXX, but it’s a version of it – and that makes it a whole lot better than most" rewritten as: "It is certainly not the best version of XXXXXX, so play it elsewhere if at all possible."
Does this mean every reviewer does this? Of course not, as there are always exceptions. But it certainly felt like the general consensus in Vita reviews over the years. It hits especially hard whenever a potential 'system seller' game came out and that happened, because we all wanted the vita to sell better for better long term support.
Vita flew too close to the sun, and it gets constantly burned. No one expects console quality on a 3ds, so it gets the pass. Makes sense, it just stings.
Any chance of localization?

It is well done generic Diablo-lite dungeon crawler. I had fun with it for about 6 hours until I got bored of it like always do with these types of games.

God of War: Ascension Ultimate Edition is showing free for me.
The only thing I did was "buying" the DLC when it was free some time ago.
This is happening with anyone else?
