Hi everyone *waves*

Thought I'd subscribe to this thread as I just treat myself to a second hand Vita off EBay just yesterday. It only comes with a 4gig memory card, that's not enough is it? Anyone know where's cheap for buying them in the uk?

I've actually already owned a Vita in the past so I've already played all the big retail games, I'll be mainly focusing on the indies/digital releases.

First things first, I'll be buying Severed.
Axiom Verge.
I MIGHT get Nuclear Throne, or Isaac, I can't decide, I want to try get into that genre, but I don't know which of the two is most accessible.
I'm going to get that Mutant blob attacks game.

I think that's it for now. I'm sure I have a hell of a lot to catch up on.

I like the way your updates are formatted. I love how meaty they are.

Thanks for the feedback Labadal :)

Hmm, I wouldn't say they are so much worse as to make a huge difference when playing, but they are worse. Most of the time you are so far zoomed out you can barely notice, but if you are the type of player who wants pin-sharp edges on body armour etc in the cut scenes, then you'll notice.

Personally I love it and have the PS3 games as well as the Vita port, but then graphics have never really been something I care that much about- I'm as happy playing tactics games with SD visuals as I am playing them with miniatures or board game tokens! Maybe I'm just easily pleased :D

Ah, sounds fine then! I may skip the PS3 version then :D Thanks!

Oh man, thanks a ton Fady. Amazing stuff.

You are most welcome bud. Hope you return from your ban soon! In the meantime, enjoy today's update ^^

It's fine the way it is now, but I wouldn't mind shorter, frequent updates either. I'm" down for whatever works for you.

Thanks for the feedback. I can actually go for more frequent updates whenever I'm not too busy.

Great work Fady K, the vita is such a good system.

Thanks for the very kind words Wireframe, the Vita is probably the most underrated system of all time for me. Those of us who love it know, truly know its value and worth ;D

There's so much I want on Vita now...

Risk of Rain
Stranger of Sword City
Severed
Ray Gigant
Downwell

Man... time and money :(
 
I'll get that Psycho Pass LE. VN on Vita are great :p

I've started Persona 4 Dancing All Night yesterday and I like it so far. Story mode is a bit silly though... But the song aren't bad at all, loving what they did with the remix.
I plan to buy some song DLC, the one with Miku is at 5e, I think it's too much for just 1 song...

Money is one issue indeed, but the one thing that is increasingly difficult is time :[ That is why I can't invest in JRPGs like I used to -_- I'm not content with only playing 6-12 games a year haha :D

I hope the game itself is interesting :] (Psycho Pass) I love me some visual novels and it's amazing how we've been getting more and more of them this gen!

Binding of Issac is the pinnacle
 
Man these past couple weeks have been fantastic for Vita. Been having an absolute BLAST with Risk of Rain. Can't wait for money to come in so I can buy Axiom Verge and Severed. Good times up ahead.

Which is the better BlazBlue on Vita?

Is there much of a reason to own both besides collecting?

Chrono Phantasma Extended. Continuum Shift Extend have a well done abridged version of the first game story mode, so you can buy it for that reason alone, but the actual game is kinda outdated.

There is no reason to buy OG Chrono Phantasma.
 
So Collin and Greg from KindaFunny have been playing a vita game that they can't talk about yet but say it's absolutely amazing.

Anyone have a clue what it may be?

Glad to hear you're having fun on it. Axiom Verge and Severed both look fantastic as well and received very high praise in these quarters.

That's not a lot of information, could be anything lol

I'll go with Cosmic Star Heroine, I think release is close. Seems like something they would promote

I can't quite tell if my OG vita has a dying battery... It seems that if it is put into sleep mode it does within 3-4 days. I'm considering getting a 2000 model but my grips won't fit and I'd have to import a replacement... I'm enjoying freedom wars and I've still got digit on cyber sleuth to get to so I know a new vita will get use but still... $250 is $250 (AU)

Freedom wars related question: is every weapon viable and does the game pick up pace? I'm at code 2 and just got whacked with a shit ton of story crap and have only just got a new mission available.

Framerate on Toukiden 2 and Dragon Quest Heroes 2 seems rough on Vita. I guess the open world is too much for the hardware.

Still, I hope they come over eventually.
 
I disagree on DQH2, i mean it's not superfluid but look at how much is going on here, it runs very well imo
https://youtu.be/g6d2j3LHc_4?t=73

Well, it's not solid and the framedrops here and there are noticeable. But it's still fully playable und it looks good. I want this port!

This is much better than Gundam Breaker 3 in comparison. There are less mobs, it looks much worse and the framerate is absolutely terrible.

Toukiden 2 got OG 3DS Hyrule Warriors'ed on Vita :/
Got bored by the first game quickly as I'm not really into hunting games. I guess Soul Sacrifice was the exception thanks to its RPG elements.
Do God Eater and Freedom Wars have RPG elements too?

Awesome news. Can't wait to get my hands on it. And Grand Kingdom. And Cosmic Star Heroine. And Axiom Verge. And Darkest Dungeon. And...

Man, for a "legacy" platform the Vita sure gets most of my money, it's hard to keep up... :p
