I probably wouldn't have chosen to get a Vita if it wasn't for trophies. It's a huge factor for me to help me enjoy some of these lower tier handheld games that I otherwise wouldn't have put up with. Would I have even started mutant blobs if it didn't have what seemed like a manageable list? Hell no.

EG?
Why has this become the "I don't get achievements/trophies" thread?
Seriously. Usually you like them (incentives to play the game differently, the idea of being "rewarded" for doing something, incentive to keep playing or keep focused based on said "reward" principle, etc.), you hate them (find them obtrusive and having them pop "ruins" your experience), or you just don't really care or "get it". Nobody's going to convince you to see it differently, you are who you are and that's it. There's no "OH, NOW I GET IT" moment. It's just a preference like an opinion.
With that said (wow, I'm a grumpy old bastard this morning, sorry...), where's Toma at?
I want to know if I boot up a game today, should it be Alundra and should I be figuring out where the hell I left off at.
Also, VanWinkle, I really hope that UGnG being hard hasn't disuaded you from playing/liking it. :
Hmmmm, let me check... 62 platinums. Probably has a lot to do with my OCD/perfectionism. Or the fact that I see it as a goal or challenge to get them all for games I like and I like being focused on that. Again, to each their own.
No I'm past the second world/level/whatever they are right now. Fun game!
Also thinking about getting the original Ray man (PS1) since I love Origins so much. I haven't played it before but I watched a video last night and it was so cool seeing some of the same items/enemies/designs as origins. Did seem a little slow paced though.
Anybody who had played it and would recommend it to me being someone who loves Origins?
Everybody's Golf aka Hot Shots Golf I think.

Yes, you should! And I cant tell you atm because I still havent played much of it yet again. I'll try to get everyone back on track with the Lets Play thread soon though
And I was busy with christmas shenanigans for the last few days, so I couldnt write much here.

Yeah, this just clicked before I read your post. I forgot HSG was EG in other regions.

Hope you had a merry Christmas, dude!
I just figured I didn't want to get too far ahead of the "Let's Play" starting...
I love the 2D GnG series... so glad to have someone else on board.
And I saw the original rayman videos, they looked okay, but it wasn't anything that made me think I'd love it the same as Rayman Origins.
I don't care about trophies (I guess that because I'm PC gamer mostly)
on the other hand PSN account and SEN and PSstores sharing stuff between all PlayStation devices cross playing was a big "factor" for me to get the Vita.

Do all ps1 games work on vita now (US psn)? If not, does it tell you before you buy which ones work?
Yeah it was lovely this year
Hope it was as enjoyable for everyone else. And waiting for the thread is a smart decision as well. What was the last thing you did? Just curious. Spoiler tag it

I think we covered this when you originally conceived doing a let's play, but I think the last thing I did was
a dungeon that involved the sand cape and flail; i got back to town, someone blamed me for stuff, and I had some direction about going toward the sea, maybe?
I'm going to have to go find a FAQ and figure out where I left off.
Hmmm, this FAQ I'm skimming through seems to indicate I'm around "chapter 13" if that's a thing.
Yes, next up is
the Coastal Cave
I think I got mad and stopped playing because I was having trouble finding it.
From another thread,but it's one of our top VitaGAF lords.
This is not the first time I read something like this here in gaf, there are many people saying the same thing(even for the 3DS XL screen)Sony should just say "fuck it" and removed the OLED in Vita/Vita revision since apparently no one care about it or notice a big difference.
The oled is something good, but not a feature that sell the system to anyone even hardcore gamers, so they better just remove it and lower the price,I think many gamers don't really want good screens or even notice a difference

That person is crazy. The Wii U controller screen looks atrocious. It's no comparison.
Edit: Also, people want good looking screens. If they didn't then they wouldn't be complaining that the iPad Mini doesn't have Retina display.

turkishemp - should really update the OP with a bunch of helpful links to new vita owners such as that ps1 compatibilty list...and how to create a 2nd account...
also a list of upcoming 2013 games....
right now that OP doesnt represent the greatness of the thread nor vita.
(i know its alot of time and effort so it can be a mixed effort?)

It could be, but once I actually got to play with the Vita, the quality is something that sold me on the system and has kept me gaming on it consistently. I still feel the biggest issue with the Vita is Sony's inability to put it in front of potential consumers. I would have bought one at launch easily if I knew then what I know now (through my own sheer will, not because Sony marketed it to me).
It would be nice, but like you stated, it can be a lot of work. I think we rely on each other enough in this thread that we get by without it while keeping the drama down (not getting aggravated over repeat questions).
TurkishEmperor is awesome <3
I'm with you..I love oled and i wont look back.
Sure,people want good screens on phones i-devices or android, but with all these comments on "how good" Wii U and 3DS XL screens I just think "gamers" don't care for good handheld screens.
I finally bought a 16GB card (they didn't have the 32GB one) and I have like $48 in my wallet, so I'm wondering which game should I buy; I've been hoping for a DJ Max game to be released here, so I'm interested in Technika Tune but $45 is kinda pricey, I'm pondering between Technika, Growlanser or something else to pass the time until another sale comes up.
Also, I was surprised by the lack of a "tutorial" in Hot Shots Golf, I don't know if I'm playing it wrong

Love the Micro, but it still ranks behind the Vita and PSP Go in terms of hardware.

Hard to really play the game 'wrong'..do you feel you are struggling unnecessarily or something?
disgusting
dat hand-cramp machine (original GBA with backlight mod is the only way to go for GBA games)
why are we talking about GBA now?

congrats (but honestly even 32GB is not enough right now)
do that game even need a tutorial? just learn how to do the different types of shots (using the D-pad when setting the power on the swing and then when you hit the ball.)

This is surely a great piece of hardware. I am very impressed thus far. I am pretty peeved that my digital copy of PlayStation All Stars provided by Amazon with the white Vita bundle on black friday didn't come with an online pass. Don't really want to spend a whole $10 on something stupid like that. Eh, I will probably beat Arcade mode with everyone and then get an online pass eventually.
Petulant child i will tolerate this insolence NO MORE! *strikes thunderbolt*
Well I was reading somewhere some weird gameplay concepts and I thought that the game had complicated elements to it, even more so when, apparently, it gets hard later on; I guess I should learn it as I go.

So amazing. I knew the score sounded amazing but I didn't know it would be THAT big. So, so good. I'm so happy with all the games I have to play, all the games coming as well.
I really wish we had an actual update on Warrior's Lair though... I keep re-watching that new gameplay video and I keep hoping/praying it's still being made. It just looks so damn good!

question about playstation classics.
Do they ever go on sale?
I'm looking to pick up FFIX and maybe MG1 but their both 10 dollars and I'm not in any rush. I've not had a vita or PS3 long enough to see them on sale though So I don't even know if they do.

I have both and there's a massive difference in screen quality in Vita's favor, and I'm sure others that own both like zeer0id would agree with me. Maybe Turkish needs to see them side by side.
Yeah, all Square Enix PS1 classics, for example, have been 50% off in the past, as has MGS1. And PS+ subscribers get some a bit cheaper. PS Store had some massive sales last summer where all kinds of games from PS1 Classics to Minis & PSP & even Vita games were on sale. There really hasn't been anything like it since.

Yes, it needs a tutorial, as evidenced by the large amount of things pointed out in that link someone provided several pages ago.
I still have no farking clue how to put correctly.
FYI, Famassu is talking about the EU store.
Occasionally you'll see a sale in the NA store, but it's not likely most of the time.
We've been blessed with the current sale (even if it's not killer) but I don't think they'll discount PSP/PSOne titles during it. We may get lucky and see some next Spring, but no guarantee.

Square Enix ones usually get sales from time to time , rest not so much.
I think the GP's screen certainly looks good, and the most apparent problem with the IQ isn't a result of poor screen quality but the fact that the console is often streaming a 720p or 1080p image onto the 480p LCD. The aberrations are easy to notice.
Even so, the colour saturation isn't amazing and compared with my TV for example, it looks muted. Doesn't compare to the vibrancy and contrast of the Vita's screen.

I bought a black friday Vita Amazon bundle. This week is my first week of really playing around with this device it's amazing. I have been playing Wipeout off and on but I started Assassins Creed:Liberation today and it is as promised a real AC game in the palm of your hand.
I just want to thank everyone in this thread for breaking down what accessories I needed and what games to get. I already finished P4 on PS2 but in the spring I will set aside gaming time to play P4:The Golden.

Holy fuck a vita game was in giant bombs goty awards!

I had just the concave caps on my old black vita, definitely preferred them as I find the stock analogue sticks a little fiddly!
I want to get some in white for my new vita but it means paying £10~ to import some from Japan :|
There is no online pass for All-Stars Digital Vita :/ At least not in the UK/EU, would've thought it was the same everywhere.

Yes, online passes are bundled with digital releases.
Same goes for digital HSG, digital WipEout 2048, digital Unit 13, etc.
lol
not sure why they bother,they don't even do QLs for Vita (I guess because it don't give them many clicks..since everything is about the clicks thesedays).
sweet,I'll get the concave caps then.

It's because there is no video out, hence you cannot record gameplay footage. Why do you think sites like IGN etc use press footage?
