Damn, I finally got the tutorial in JSR down.

 

[TheSeks]

Damn, I finally got the tutorial in JSR down.

I still haven't done that, and I started Chapter 2 in both the PS3 and PSP2 versions.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Damn, I finally got the tutorial in JSR down.

Congrats. Considering how poorly the controls seem to me when I play that game, it's quite a feat.

I still haven't done that, and I started Chapter 2 in both the PS3 and PSP2 versions.

There are some things the tutorial requires you to do that are just insane and it doesn't save your progress if you quit out. I got to about lesson 16 and decided I was too frustrated, I'd handle it later when I was better at the game... then I realized the controls sucked and I would never have the "skill" necessary to complete the tutorial and gave up on that hope.

MK Vita is listed in the IGC for US but without a discount and is not free. WTF?!

 

[Shai-Tan]

If I go sell my copy of LBP Vita and get the digital version does my progress transfer or am I going to have to replay everything?

I think if you back it up in content manager or cloud save that you can restore it from backup with the new copy.

 

[enoirmeplz]

MGS HD Vita is tempting, but if I remember the file size correctly I'd rather just get the physical version.

Yea but the ps+ sale makes it affordable and I just need another Vita game I probably won't play

 

[OmegaZero]

Congrats to the contest winners.
Also, is MGS3 HD part of the sale or just the HD Collection?

I already own MGS2 HD.

That's amazing!
STOP MAKING ME LOOK BAD!

HOLY FUCK THAT LOOKS GOOD

my mind is blown

Well, I have a small background in art (though I hesitate to call myself an artist since I rarely draw). :b
Thanks for the compliments all the same.

My Golden Abyss-themed MS Paint entry for Wild Arms.

Happy holidays, Vita-GAF.

So much detail. :O
How long did that even take?

NGS+ is the only real action game on the market, and while I agree with you completely, as I don't think the game is worth $35 at 30fps to start with, I think with NGS2+ coming, they *really* need the discount on the first title to help drum up some interest. Will they do it though? My instinct says no, though they could discount it this week or next week (but they won't permanently until NGS2+ releases and even then, it's not a given.)

Totally agree. If this isn't heavily discounted or a Plus freebie come February, I will be a disappointed ninja.

 

[Totobeni]

Please buy Unit 13

MAG and SOCOM4 were really horrible,I'm afraid to even think about this one (since it's the game that killed Zipper),heck I don't even want to touch the demo with a stick..that what MAG and SOCOM did to me so don't blame me.

but if anyone in this thread can tell me why Unit 13 is actually decent and not bad like than MAG and SOCOM4 I will listen.

It's not folklore,alundra or gurumin,so there you go.

 

[tamaster92]

I was thinking, in the ps3 store why are vita screens so shit?

I mean I know why but to any casual guy he will see them and be like what the fuck

 

[tm24]

Man, i finally decided to bite on LBP Vita and its no longer on sale. The price went up

 

[VanWinkle]

Retro City Rampage free to US Plus members today.

Also, Hot Shots Golf International $8.74 for Plus members.

Edit: Realized I'm late BUT I'm definitely in for Hot Shots (and Journey on PS3)

The CODC one truly shows what the vita is capable of.

That is very Interesting..If it's a mix of Alice 2/Saints Row and Batman AA with a lil of Earthbound on the side then I will bite.

Ok,unit 13 is good as a pick up and play shooter,it has bite sized missions(30+) all of which are very fun,daily new online missions(challenges),nice co-op and the player's main objective is to increase his score.SmokyDave has WRC3 i think.

 

[tamaster92]

Hahaha oh god that would be brilliant

 

[Killthee]

Store seems to be updating right now, but it looks like there's some errors. I'm seeing Unit 13 for $17.49 with plus.

 

[Shai-Tan]

It's funny how many think they are going to get all the good games through Plus based on the first month when it's pretty obvious from the ps3 that won't be the case.

Shamelessly pulled from my own thread...

Just Platinumed this last night. My first for Vita and my 5th overall platinum

I really feel this one didn't get the credit it deserved.

Was it because of the bad joo-joo affliated with Zipper?

Vita launch title?

Doomed hardware?

It came off as generic dudebro at first glance?

I'm sure all of the above and many more.

That being said, it really is unfortunate as it's been a big highlight in my portable gaming experiences. The combination of solid controls, a fantastic core gameplay loop, and just being in constant glee at the concept that I was playing a full-on 3rd person/cover shooter, complete with twin-sticks!

I was fucking playing The Club in the palm of my hands! Whenever and wherever I wanted.

People talk shit and complain that too many handheld titles are just trying to replicate a console-like experience. Here's a game that does the complete opposite and absolutely thrives at small burst gaming. But instead of some sort cutesy, angry-birds, IOS like experience, you're getting a fully functional shooter.

I'm not a Zipper fan. I don't have a history with them and the only other titles I've played of theirs where SOCOM4 and MAG. The former of which was solid (at least the SP, not the botched MP) and the latter was ambitious but didn't quite hit the mark. So yeah, I had no idea these guys were capable of something like this. It's a fucking shame that Sonly shelved them as THIS is the direction that Vita titles needed to be headed and Zipper understood that. Instead, Sony sacrifices it's dignity by chasing Activision around, begging for what they thought would be a guaranteed meal ticket.
So is there shit to nitpick? Sure. The AI is random sometimes but more often than not, service the gameplay, whether that's playing like a predator or a commando. Once you get used to the aiming, you'll wish you could turn down (or maybe even turn off completely) auto-aim. The loadtimes could be shorter and the game could do a better job of explaining it's scoring system. Also, they take the cheap route and there's one or two missions with infinite spawning enemies until you pass their designated monster closet.

I think I sunk 30 or more hours into this and loved almost every minute of it.

Please check it out if you ever have the chance.

Mostly everyone who posted in the thread agreed. VERY underrated game. Please give it a shot.

Indeed.

RCR and a bunch of the discounts are live, but a lot of the stuff is still fucked up, as I noted above.

Blog says MK (no platform specified) is $14 with PS+. It's not discounted for Vita. But yet it's in the Vita's IGC on the store.

Unit 13 doesn't have the discount that was advertised, it's as if they just discounted it 30% for PS+ instead of 30% for everyone, 50% for plus.

The "holiday sale" banner takes you to last weeks sale on Vita games (LBP, Rayman, etc.)

 

[VanWinkle]

From EU blog

But the biggest highlight of the year was being able to welcome SCE Cambridge Studio into our fold. We’ve officially become a multi-studio company! Guerrilla Cambridge – as our new sister studio is known – is working hard to ensure that Killzone: Mercenary will be the ultimate handheld first-person shooter experience when it launches for PlayStation Vita in 2013.
The team is intimately familiar with handheld game development, having previously worked on titles such as LittleBigPlanet for the PlayStation Portable, and they’ve done a phenomenal job adapting the Killzone 3 engine to the PS Vita platform.

I tried it and also saw some videos and let's say it's not a good game. If it's at 10euros i would buy it but there's a lot more good racers on vita. even ridge racer is a better than this.
it's not unplayable but i won't spend any money soon on this game.

I hope so. Where's your list to Santa, young fella. I need to add something to your pile of presents.

I'm seeing the PS3 version on sale for $15 with plus on the PS3 store.

Yeah, I saw that too. I'm still wondering why MK Vita is in the IGC but not discounted. Hope the $14 PS+ applies in the end. :\

 

[zychi]

Someone talk me out of purchasing the MGS HD Collection. I own the retail cart, I own the LEs on ps3 and 360, I own the original releases, I own the substance and substiances, why am I contemplating purchasing the digital version for Vita?

Its the biggest game on the service so far, clocking in at 3,4GB or something. You DONT want that on your mem card if you have it retail.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Vitagra?

 

[Ran rp]

I'd gladly take MKV over RCR.

The Dokuro discount (from $20 down to $10) is still live this week.

Ooooh i will PM you my collection later hehe I'm at my fiancees family Christmas right now. I will tell you I don't like RPGs though :-( I didn't even know what Wild Arms was; only that you wanted it lol

Early next year I reckon

 

[Y2Kev]

All the Vita deals are still live on my Vita from last week.

 

[MThanded]

I AM ENRAGED.

LBP Vita create mode is acting up. I love create mode on the ps3 but I am having serious problems with this one. For example none of the buttons I put down have any wiring connection. I deleted them. Recreated them. Went to pod. Nothing fixed it...

What gives?

They're back to normal for me. The Sound Shapes demo seems to be missing too. It's still in my download list though.

Anything for PlayStation Mobile this week?

service is like a wasteland full of nothing.

reading that you are not a fan of Zipper, this actually got me interesting(since I hated MAG and SOCOM 4).


If I have any money left today I might grab it.

I know pretty well about your Vita likings so far, but I am curious. What are other games you really like on other platforms?

 

[Ponn]

Vitagra?

We go halfsies on the profits. Securing the domain now.

Are you touching where the wires would come out?

> <'s? The wires don't show up until you do that, IIRC. It's a weird quirk with the game, I guess to cut down on people putting a bunch of switches down and having non-connected lines gum up the works.

In the tutorial there is a a colored light to show you where the wires come out. When im in full create mode I don't see anything.

Is creating on vita easier than ps3?
