The game was piece of trash. Not sure why people liked this.

Yeah this is my first time playing it and it's really bad. I don't see what was so special at all.

I'm trying to get as many trophies as I can so the % isn't so terrible on my list but when I can't even complete the damn tutorial because it's so hard and controls so bad then I'm not sure there's much I can do with it.
 
It's my extreme hatred of any kind of motion controls in play here. I'm struggling to keep her where I want her to be with the tilting and they want me to put my fingers in a somewhat uncomfortable place to activate the sliding.

As I'm struggling and falling off ledges 10 seconds into the race or sliding I just keep thinking "why am I doing this on a system with 2 analog sticks? The whole point of having it was to avoid doing things like this".

Your using your thumbs right just image it like a steering wheel. Its best done while sitting on a chair.

Also take a look at these three videos:

People insulting JSR have no clue (yet) :P Difficult gameplay doesn't make it bad. Frustrating, challenging, rewarding etc

Btw I edited my previous post with this but Sound Shapes "curved terrain pack" (free) on PS3 nets you the 8-bit sound pack as well (on vita) :S

Also, recently inside Playstation Store for me just has "Playstation Store, coming soon, £1.59" as the only main banner advert at the top :S Clicking on it links me to a non-purchasable "Dynamic 40's Vintage Theme 2" .. might be something to do with being behind this hotel's router..
 
P4G has an online mode? What's it for?

Pretty much you can send an alert for someone to send you a small heal or something while you're in dungeons and outside of it you can look at what other people did on the day you are currently on if you're unsure of what you should do next.

It's both more than anything else.

ah, thanks

Lol no ... Once you get used to the controls , it is extremely rewarding and fun. It just takes time.

Next thing you know people will say Street Fighter 2 was an overrated piece of trash because the controls are hard and people dont want to put any effort. It is going to be fun when Demons Souls UHD Remake comes out , years from now and people will be saying the same thing about it.
 
EU blog basically says to direct queries about SotN on Vita to Konami, which strikes me a little odd. Surely Sony would certify it as compatible with the platform?

Why doesnt PSM section have a search box?

...
I don't know why they'd need separate searches. PSM also needs an A-Z, I don't like having to guess the genre to find what I'm looking for.

Well in any case, that PSM currently has NO way to search for content with a search box is still stupid.

I ask myself more often than not why Sony can't get basic things like that right.
Earlier today I was looking for Surge and the search function didn't bring anything up. I guessed that the game wasn't available here until someone corrected me.

Did you look on the PlayStation Mobile section of the PS Store?

Edit: oh never mind. I see the point you were making now.
 
Anyone else annoyed that more of these HD collections don't come to Vita? As much as I will appreciate playing Hitman Collection on my 360, i'd love it on Vita. Sly Collection/Ratchet & Clank, Tomb Raider (though 2 of the 3 games there are on PSP...), God of War (1 & 2) im sure there are more out there. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Although I don't know how well the MGS collection sold as a comparison...

Ya, I'm sad most aren't even remote play. I saw ico and god of war and I was hoping ratchet and sly and such were at least remote playable and they're not even that which is really disappointing. :/

That's not even close to being the same thing. SF2 has the exact same controls and motions as SF4. It was just less lenient. That's not the same as JSR having camera issues and gameplay issues with grinding that JSRF fixed.

Disable centre camera - no camera issues. No grinding issues except on the crane which is 0.01% of the game.

I'm enjoying Big Sky Infinity but finding it a bit confusing, will stick with it though - maybe I rushed through the tutorial but I have no clue what is going on a lot of the time hah.

Nah, JSR's controls are poor, pure and simple. I completed the DC version, and it never felt rewarding whatsoever by the end of it. It was frustrating all the way.
 
So far I feel like I've wasted 2 months of PS+ on Vita. I already had Uncharted, Gravity Rush and Mutant Blob, Chronovolt was trash, Big Sky is trash and now my only hope is Knytt Underground.

-no slowdown on the vita version (no where near as much anyway). Lots of other videos are out there that show really impressive grinds and jumps, no way you wouldn't feel awesome if you pulled that off. The tutorial pushes you to aim for this playstyle with the 30/40/50 trick combo targets. It's not something that will happen on the first run-through.

Go play the regular game, the tutorial is one of the hardest trophies to get as far as I can figure. I watched a youtube video of it and decided to just start playing instead figuring someday I would go back and do it if my skills were improved. I gave up on the game on the second level because the platforming was driving me crazy and I couldn't get to the tag locations on the upper levels.

You can get a few trophies by playing the beginning levels and doing some customization stuff though.

But a ton of pop-in. And grinding isn't just the crane. Try doing the boost->jump the gap->grind in the train-area of chapter 1 I'm forgetting.
 
Got up to Chapter 32 in Uncharted last night.. And kinda don't want to finish it! Game has been great. Definitely think I'll try to grind the Platinum on this one. Feels deserving of my time.
 
Bleh, the god of war remote play is pretty awful. Lack of L2, L3, R2, R3 makes it pretty unplayable. Using select+ whatever is too awkward and using the rear pad results in too many false hits with the way I hold the vita.
