Well, I guess, since that dude with the $50 code will not be responding..
Anyone know of any $50 gift card offers with Vita purchase this week? =P

Hey guys, I started playing Crimsom Gem Saga last night, and its really good. For starters, its a gorgeous game with a hand-drawn artstyle. The world and character art is really nice. I got really burnt out with P3P and thought I wouldn't like the combat but it turned out to be pretty rewarding.
I'll post some pictures of it later, but if anyone's on the fence about it, I recommend you get it before the Atlus sale is over. ($7.50)

Perhaps doing the Best Buy thing where you buy a PSN card and they email you the code?
I was going to recommend the same thing. Here's the thread.

They sometimes do. I guess this is just a place holder because amazon.de doesn't know either. At least there's no reason to put German voice overs 4 times in the game
"onlinegamesdatenbank" is nice to get infos what languages a game supports. Unfortunately it's often not complete and many games are missing. It's just a collection of user entries.

The gyro in mutant blobs doesn't even work. This is why I hate this stupid motion control bullshit
Weird, I thought it worked really well in that game.
Literally? I can't get past the first two holes on the first labyrinth stage, but my brother did it without a problem.The gyro in mutant blobs doesn't even work. This is why I hate this stupid motion control bullshit

Are you liying your vita fully horizontally as if it was resting on a table?

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

It works perfectly, actually, unless your system has a problem.
Sit up and face down at the system. It tells you to have it parallel to the floor.

Yep amazing game, reminds me of the socom games on the psp.
If it's any consolation, I've been working on the first pinball stage for the past fifteen minutes since you made your first post and even with the Vita parallel to the floor, I can't finish it.

ahhh
this game isn't worth getting out of bed for
You could always just hold the Vita parallel to your bed without getting out of the bed. I think there are only a few tilt levels.

Apparently everything is of the Vita build.
Well, Zipper made Unit 13 alongside a two of the Socom titles for PSP.

GRRRR!!! I hated that tower, don't know why it gave me such a problem lol.
Tempted to double dip on this, must....have....restraint!
I'm on my second world tour on experienced and it's so difficult. I blazed through the novice difficulty, but I need a 1.5 difficulty level.

The thing I don't like about VT4 (compared to HSG) is that I feel no sense of control whatsoever.
I just mash X because every time I press square or circle, the opponent just spikes it right past me.
Mash X to win.

Yeah, I don't really use square or circle, and I don't like when the game slows down for a shot. I prefer Hot Shots Tennis control-wise.
Turn up your difficulty.
how will that even help him when he/she is having problems with other types of shots already
Unlike other genres of games when it's better to play in hard, in sport games you should(imo) learn how to play to in easy then your skills will get better as you go upward in the harder difficulties, going on hard when you don't know the tricks and skills will makes you get frustrated and nothing else. (same with new comers to fighting games I guess).
I've been on a racing kick lately and since I just finished the single player career mode in Wipeout 2048 I needed another racer on the Vita. I thought about Ridge Racer but ultimately made the decision to go with Gran Turismo PSP. It's $19.99 on the PSN and even though it's paired down compared to GT5 I think it works very well as a portable racing experience.
One thing I was not expecting was just how nice the game looks on the Vita. You won't mistake it for a native Vita title but I think Polyphony Digital did a great job considering the PSP hardware is sub PS2 level. The cars are nicely modeled and the framerate is a steady 60 and there's alot of cars and tracks available. I am quite impressed and so was Eurogamer http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-gt-psp-60fps-video-blog-entry when they blogged about it back around the time of it's launch.

Yeah it is pretty good. I hope they are working on GT Vita.

In VT4, what I do is use square when I need to regain a good position or to get some breathing room. Depending on the court surface, your opponent will have trouble returning a slice at lightning speed giving you time to get your bearings. Triangle is best for when they are close to the net. The X button is your main button, you will most likely only be using the other buttons under certain circumstances. Also, try holding down the button to increase the power of your returns. You need to be the one controlling the momentum of the match.
I can't stand playing Gran Turismo on either the PSP or the PSV - i can't adjust how much i want to break, it's ON or it's OFF.

Thanks for the tips! I suspected that the game has a hidden depth, and hopefully I'll be able to put these to good use once/if the game becomes difficult enough to necessitate strategic play.
In the early matches, pushing down the analog stick and hitting triangle to hit the ball towards the net, and then smashing the ball into the distance works really well too.
I just did an online match in World Tour mode with a guy whose serves kept coming up right after the baseline, and I expected them to be faults so didn't go at them, only to lose points. How do I serve like that?

Anyone remember Virtua Tennis for GBA? Game was so fun, but had a major serve exploit.
All of Sega's GBA ports were interesting. Virtua Tennis, Jet Grind Radio, ChuChu Rocket, Super Monkey Ball, Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5...all preserved the core mechanics and presentation styles of the original games, which was impressive at the time.

I used a luchador mask as my face for a reason.
I wouldn't say $20 is very over priced.
Then again, that was the launch price in 2010, lol.

Does it work better if you reboot ?
It should work fine. I don't remember any gyro problem in that game. I got stuck in a bounce upwards under water level, but that one doesn't use gyro. More a timing thing.
Interesting... Puddle seems more elaborate than I expected.
