Yeah, Shiren is gorgeous and I'd say among the best roguelikes ever.
What specifically didn't you like about the games you aged before?

What specifically didn't you like about the games you aged before?
Yeah, one of the reasons I'm interested in Shiren is because it looks good. I'm generally not fond of roguelike gameplay mechanics (going through same places over and over, losing your gear and starting at level 1) but if the other aspects of the game are strong I don't think I'd mind much.
For example Sorcery Saga doesn't look all that appealing (art style wise) and I had the game crash on me at least 2-3 times while in a dungeon. It totally put me off the genre. I even gave it another chance but the game just wasn't that interesting.
I'd like OWH better if it didn't have the wall of doom following you everywhere. I'd just end up constantly fussing about it and not enjoying the game.
I also tried the roguelike dungeon in FFX-2 and uhh...that was a really bad experience for me
. Mostly because I absolutely had no clue what I was doing and I didn't even know how to progress.Like I said I really do like the way Shiren looks and I want to try it, but part of me fears I'd get overwhelmed and just stop. The game has a tutorial section so at least that should be helpful!

The tutorial has a ton of stuff explained and actually makes you do it unlike shitty tutorials in games like Touhou genso rondo bullet ballet. Shiren has no DLC so you could wait for a physical copy price drop from NA and import if you dont want to go digital.
Digital doesn't bother me, it's currently 18 pounds. Don't think it'd go (much) cheaper if I waited to import it.

hmmm yea. I say go for it. This and Crypt of the necrodancer are my current favourite roguelikes. You know Pier Solar? I remember seeing the video showing off the upgrade and then game disappointed me. Shiren on Vita looks better to me or at least what i remember of pier solar hd in the campaign video.

I thought I just disliked Mystery Dungeon games as well, turns out I only played ones that were garbage in the recent past. Curry Saga, Etrian MD, probably some others.
Shiren was my first MD (fan TL on emulator) and I fell in love with the Vita one as well. It's the one true MD franchise for me.
Super great mechanics, super great pixel art, super charming. Can't guarantee that you'll like it, but you should give it a try. At least you'll know that if you don't like this one, the genre is 100% not for you. The other games you played just weren't as good.
Also, I wouldn't lump MD games together with all other roguelikes. They are pretty unique and their own sub-genre.

I remember stumbling upon a few images from Pier Solar and wanting to buy the game. Then I read the reviews and yeah... Not worth spending the money on nostalgia alone.
Yeah, I think I'll buy Shiren and see how it goes. The fact that it looks charming (at least from the videos I've seen) is a big plus.

I have to say, one of my biggest surprises from being a Vita fan has been how much I've grown to love interactive narrative games.
Prior to owning the handheld, my experience was pretty much limited to Broken Sword 2 (which I hated) as a point 'n' click game; and the visual novel sections of JRPG's.
On a whim I decided to buy DanganRonpa when it came out and it went on to become one of my favourite games of all time on any console, period. Just a great story and a great introduction to the genre because it has just enough gameplay to keep me occupied.
From there, I obviously played the sequels before last year moving on to Steins;Gate. Now this one replaced DanganRonpa as my favourite Vita game and also ranked among my favourites of all time. I was also impressed that it had very minimal gameplay and I was still hooked.
I've now almost finished The Walking Dead (Season 1) and that would be my #3 or #4 Vita game at this point behind DR1 and Steins;Gate (and possibly Hotline Miami). Given I rarely if ever played games like this before, that's quite an achievement to have them making up the whole of my favourite titles on the console.
And with Sekai Project finally committing to the console going forward; plus a couple more VN's coming for the rest of the year (Root Letter/Steins;Gate 0) and the inevitable DanganRonpa V3 release - plus hopefully the missing TellTale games at some point (god, I'm really crossing my fingers for these) it's looking good for at least the next 12 months too. When Vita finally kicks the bucket, I know I'm going to playing these games on other consoles for a long time too.

Well i said it looked too good for a indie vita game, but if she already worked on vita i guess she knows what it can do and what not.
It reminds me of silent hill origins.
I hope you enjoy the game Shizuka
! I am really enjoying my time with the title so far and thought it was surprising solid (never played the original Criminal Girls).I hope you enjoy the game Shizuka
Maybe I'll be able to fit in my schedule around April or May 2017. The struggle is real.
?!You have THAT many games to play man......damn, you are busy buddy
. Currently bouncing through a number of games at once myself, so I completely understand being quite busy.YianGaruga

If I started on my backlog wouldn't be done until May 2018
If I try to tackle through my backlog I would be playing stuff until 2019 on my Vita XD!
It's been a long time since I've let go of my backlog. I have over 250 native Vita titles alone, not to mention 3DS, PS4, PS3, Steam, PSP, DS titles, etc.

XSEED announced two "in development" games as early localizations this year - Akiba's Beat and Fate/Extella. Akiba's got delayed.

Now Fate/Extella is delayed in the west.
Lol.

There are ones without. Probably the Malaysian version which even has english text on the cover. The ones with the red 18+ are only Chinese
thanks man, i always get suspicious when i purchase something on ebay below market value.
Another plus is that the back cover text should be fully English as well. You got a good deal.

Because games released in Taiwan are rated.
I keep forgetting this isn't coming to NA physically. Will have to order it, too. I actually haven't really paid attention to normal Vita releases lately thanks to LRG. Will have to make a list this weekend of what I need to pick up.
Didn't we get one from that Sony mascot? Why can't we get these ones as well?

It ain't sounding good for a Vita version of Bloodstained. Can't see them hiring Armature to port UE4 just to Vita.

Yup I was thinking the same thing. We'll see. I guess it will heavily depend on the state of the Vita in Japan over the next year

So this may be incredibly wishful thinking on my part, but I thought I'd be annoying and pester JAW about whether they came to an agreement about HLD. After a bit of prodding they said this:
https://twitter.com/jawltd/status/784005555723591680
If they hadn't been able to work something out, I feel like they'd just say that, so maybe there is some sort of agreement in place? *shrug* I sure hope so.

My Vita is almost dead - yesterday it didn't want to wake up from sleep but I still managed to start it after few tries and now it completely refuses to start - only sign of life is orange light from PS button when i connect charger.
I've tried looking for new one but Sony is really doing a shitty job here - i only found new ones in few shops and prices are ridiculous.
Crap I was going to ask my friend to buy me one from Japan when he will be there in November but no way I'm staying without one for whole month.

Stardew Valley would be perfect for Vita.. great news. I guess I'll never end up putting time in the Steam version.
