This is actually really really easy to do. I five-starred most missions on my first try.

Edit: Wait, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing in your view. But I'll say that it genuinely is fun replaying levels for higher scores in Unit 13. The levels are open, so you can approach each situation in a number of different ways. It's fun to find the best way.

Alright that definitely has me intrigued at least. I'll add it to my list, which is getting somewhat long at this point. Vita has no games indeed.

The trophies are very well done, you'll get a lot out of the game by doing the platinum.

In any case there's a demo, you can check it out when you pick up the system.

My favorite kind of trophies.

oh crap, you almost got me.

I made a dumb mistake on my 4th tap and was forced to take a 50/50 guess on the last one :p

Luck was on my side!

haha damn! >.< .. soon.. same thing just happened to me with Takao's new one actually..

It's actually pretty fun not just solving but creating and sending them too...won't be deleting this app for a while.

Thanks as well Cecil, will get cracking on yours now! haha nice gif btw..unlucky

Haa shit i bought Crash Bandicoot 2 thinkg "oh well i played the first one long time ago, this one should be cool and it has good ratings on the store". WTF is this thing.. It's just unplayable... How could people play things like that in the past...

And then i tried Persona 2 which i blindly bought when it was bargained, thinking "oh i love rpg and trpg and this is a classic i should discover" and .... -_- I started and this is the most boring, complicated and messy hour i've ever enjoyed in a game... I don't even know if i'll play it again.. millions of useless people to talk to everywhere, corridors after corridors, talk, talk and talk.. giant tutorial with fucking endless explications about the obscure system...

Then you fight an enemy and what ? I have to choose, each time, if i want to fight it or discuss with it in a boring and uninteresting game of "choose the right line". And the game makes clear to me that i should do that very often if i want cards.. But even if i want to fight, i have to choose what type of fight, and .... I don't know it's designed in a way it doesn't seem like cool spontaneous choices but just a typical case of "if i can do that and that and that well.. i don't know what's the point.. there is no fun.."

I know i know the game must have great qualities and i should try again but ho my rarely i've been so discouraged by a game...

Should have gone with Persona 3. So much better than what you just described.

When you figure out the right choices for the demons they don't really change (with the exception of maybe 1/10 encounters). Once you know this farming cards is pretty easy and you're gonna need to farm cards to get better personas. I'm going through it on a low level run (which I really need to transfer the save on my PSP1 to the PSP2 and finish...) but they made some improvements over the PSX version (for instance get the ring of solving at the Casino [yes, you're gonna have to grind coins to get this and incenses]) to get fusion spell hints. Once you have some fusion spells you're pretty unstoppable in boss fights if you have a good combo of those and personae to use.

P2 is the best of the Persona series, bar none.

Edit: The conversation system not withstanding since the demon negotiation system has ALWAYS been weak. (But then again the S. Link system is just as weak but CHARACTERS!)

Well i don't know i'm not interested in learning how i have to precisely play with each monster like a parrot.. Not my type of game. I also hated xenoblade just cause it was trying to make lots of special cases scenarios and make you play a certain way for certain enemies.. I like spontaneous, dynamic and surprising battles!
 
Okay i have to ask with all the lttp and mentions in this thread...Whats the deal with Persona?? I was asked to preorder it when I went to buy some games for my vita today. Is it worth jumping in? Also do those games only work on the Ps3 or do some work on the vita??

Wait so, the port is fine right? How can you not like Crash 2? Those are some of my most favorite/memorable platformers, ever.

Read a guide for the Persona answers of interested and eager then. It'd save you a ton of time of learning to parrot the answers.

@other person: Persona has had ports to PSP1/2. Only PSP2 one is P4G. A port of P4 on PS2 redone. It's out in October/hence asking for preorders.

P3 had a remake (that IMO while tolerable isn't like FES/definitive version so sucks) on PSP1. P2:IS was never brought over from Japan until the PSP port and there's a sequel (so two parts to the whole P2 story) called Eternal Punishment that was brought over on PSX but hasn't had a localization annoucnement yet.

P1 was brought over on PSX but translated BADLY and the PSP port was retranslated but the gameplay is POOR.


Really, just play P2 on.

Also someone set a bad time in Motorstorm so I can beat it 8 times. Trying to get a friends list bad time is impossible since it won't show the early levels to me. :|

Looking at future Vita releases and I'm contemplating getting Need for Speed: Most Wanted on Vita instead of PC. Anyone else doing the same? Would be nice to play with people I semi-know, even if I don't have any of you on my Friend's List yet, instead of just randoms.

Edit: And by "semi-know" I mean I lurk this thread constantly and just hardly post.

If I buy the game, it'll be on the Vita, so you'd have me to play with. I'm still not entirely sold on it as racing games don't do much for me, but I'm considering it more and more.

Bitching about 40 megs or less on the memory card is getting very annoying Sony. :|

I'll be getting it for the Vita :p Hopefully it really does come out late next month.

What I love about the Vita is that I'm playing a lot of games I normally wouldn't bother with. Racing games, sports games, pinball, etc. Even something as simple as Treasure Park has me stupidly hooked and it gives me an even better incentive to commute with my Vita.

what i find that i love about the vita's portability is that i can simply POWER OFF THE GAMES ANYWHERE and just RESUME AT THE SAME SPOT with the flick of the power button

no waiting for the hdd to load, no opening screens to sit through....just turn on and pickup immediately

will be picking up more cross platform games on vita (i.e. sly games)

Has there been any precedent where there were sales on zen pinball tables in the past? Trying to decide if I should wait on getting a pack or not.

I agree and all, but I mean, we've been able to do that since the original DS... (EDIT: and even GBA, which apparently slipped my mind)

Luckily they're all cross-buy, so at least there's hope :/

Marvel pinball from Zen 1 was free via PS+ some time back. About a year ago. Dunno if the makers themselves have sales on their own though.

Remember when I was complaining about how the LBP Vita commercial was filmed with a RED Camera? Well, I found this:

Oh my.
 
Just started playing FF7 on vita, the attack on the Mako reactor is still such a great moment, but during the boss fight with the red scorpion mech, game froze. Has anyone had similar issues?

Worked fine for me. No crashes yet. What is your disk speed setting? Some games get messed when set to fast.
