Wrong thread.
Perfect timing for PSN to be down!
also something something Vita thread, thanks for posting it anyway
It's been 6 freakin' months and we still can't organize photos into specific folders. Come the freak on, Sony. I hope the 1.7-1.8 update seriously beefs up the OS and apps.
Edit: Does anyone know why some photos show up as "?" in the photos app after transferring them to the Vita? I could never figure out why this keeps happening to some files and not others.

It's not quite repetition through lack of variety that I was thinking about; it's the repetition brought about from monotony. The developers did not have any regard for snappy pacing. Certain enemies/groups of enemies and most bosses take excessively long amounts of time to kill in my book. It's understandable to not agree with this since it's very subjective, but it's something I personally felt was poorly tuned. I'm not saying all bosses should have one lifebar and all regular enemies should be turned into popcorn enemies; I just always felt like things took way longer to kill than they should've. It's like modern Mario Kart games where I feel the karts all drive slightly too slow for some reason. The harder difficulties force you to understand specific scenarios quite a bit more, sometimes to the point where you feel like you need to cheese the game, but there are still a few design quirks to deal with that sometimes screw you over. I disliked the camera and aiming, too, but that might be way better on the Vita (I played it on PSP).
I do think some things are redeeming about it: the Overdive system made some battles pretty tactical, going crazy in Liberation mode is a lot of fun, and I liked the DNA chip stuff. I'd much rather play 3rd Birthday, warts and all, over Crisis Core, for example, which I thought was a complete abomination in every regard beyond its audiovisual presentation. Having finally forced myself through Golden Abyss, I'd probably rather play 3rd Birthday instead of that, too. =\

Maintenance. Won't be up for another... 6 hours or so?

Pretty much everything is $15. It's $12 with PS+.
Was browsing play.com and saw a listing for a WRC: FIA World Rally Championship 3 Vita version. I didn't know that was coming over. I'd LOVE a portable rally game with decent controls.
It'd be nice if Codies developed a standalone Dirt game for the Vita. :3
I'd really wish they would get the WRC License, judging from reviews, the games from the studio that develops them aren't worth importing.
GTA Chinatown Wars and The Warriors coming to the Vita store next week.

I don't dislike Vita, I dislike Sony for treating it like PSPGO 2.0. Besides Persona 4 Golden was my main reason for it.
Use the ignore button. I'll be ok.
Chinatown Wars is already playable via transfer from PS3, the Warriors, not so sure.

Because there's usually a drought of games in the Summer (followed by a ton of games in the Fall/Winter for the Holiday season)? I don't think it's exactly a Vita-exclusive problem (though the Vita has more noticeable symptoms, since the system is still new and the back catalog isn't that large yet).
So they can drop the price, do a marketing blitz for the Christmas period and have a ton of content to back it up.
Who am I trying to kid? This is Sony

But..but..but...Gurumin is not available to Vita owners who lack a PS3. Not available on the Vita PSN in NA >:0(
I think we all agree on that,Sony need to act and fix many things including the system price, the store, lack of games,the games prices ..ect
but I just don't know/understand exactly how CFW will solve your (and our) problem with Sony and Vita here?

Both have been available in Europe for as long as I remember. Good to see Playstation US catching up.

This needs to be fixed! Gurumin is an awesome little game and it looks great on the OLED.

haha I've had CW on my Vita since March and have not even opened it up yet
My Vita has been a MHFU machine lately, not that that's a bad thing.
Same here, by the time October hits I'm gonna be knee deep in finals. Finals and good games do not mix.
A-Men, that Lemmings kind of game that's been available in EU and JP since launch is supposedly coming to North America "soon".
There's a demo you can download.

I think I'm the only person in North America who bought a copy of F1 2011.
Of course that's an exaggeration, but it is a bit frustrating I live in a land (U.S) that ignores these kinds of games. I know the Vita version of F1 was a port of the 3DS game, but it was actually pretty good. And I don't think it would have sold if it were a new, original Vita title anyway.
At any rate if they released a rally game for Vita, I'd be a happy guy. As it is, I'm thinking of ordering an older Colin McRae game so I can get my rally fix.

I can't say that I agree. I continue to find awesome PSP games that I missed the first go around, and have a 10+ game backlog on my Vita already.
Take a chance on some PSP games. I'm sure you'll find something to pass the time!

THIS. So many times my partner would hit the ball to the one place where it could be easily slammed by our opponents.
The guy keeps falling down or hitting the ball out. I could take both of them by myself, but I'm stuck with dead weight.
Okay, I couldn't really take them, but I'd try.
Admittedly they'll likely make many more transferable.
But they'll be dicks and only allow TWO games to be bought directly on Vita because they apparently think the VC approach, even if done in half, is the best for a handheld device with many, many games that could be played. Hell, the VC approach probably isn't best for the VC anyway.
Has anyone had problems with multiple button presses not registering? There are times when hitting X while moving the left analog stick doesn't do anything in Virtua Tennis 4, and more problematic, I can't do certain combos in MK. I tried a particular combo forever in the tutorial mode before just giving up.

I know that I can play games like UMvC3 and SFA3 Max just fine(pressing multiple buttons and it responds), but I know I drop way too many combos in MK for some reason. I can't even pull off an old Johnny Cage BnB.
That's because you're bad at the game though. I'm obviously incredibly skilled and the Vita is just cramping my style.

I'm pretty sure it's MK; that Johnny Cage combo in the tutorial was brutal... you have to input the buttons ridiculously fast. I was able to do them by sliding my finger across the buttons, but not by individual successive button presses.

man why you gotta be like that
But now that you mention it, I have a few problems while playing Katamari sometimes. You may be right about me being bad at that game, so lucky you!
Yeah, I'm really not used to the Vita, either, so I was really all kinds of screwed up.

Microfiber cloth. You need one.

I wouldn't even have one of those if not for the fact that I got a tablet a few months ago. It came with a cloth.
I'd be waaaaay too cheap/lazy to actually buy a screen protector or cloth otherwise.
