Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | April 2013 | Sacrifice your Independent Soul

I have posted this, but only in here. I am afraid of getting banned if I talk about it in the MH thread. 3DS feels like one of my friggin kids toys. Monster Hunter is some sacred shit and I am pissed I have to play it on that crap.

Those controls on the 3DS are fucking awful for Monster Hunter. Same reason I couldn't really play them on the PSP, either, in all honesty. I NEED that second stick for camera control. The Vita has made it so wonderful now that I can play Freedom Unite.
 
I am not even generally hating on the device (which no one should do), but it definitely didnt work for me for MH at all. I severely missed the second analog, and the twitchy action gameplay got me to mess up a lot due to the console design. I turned the volume up and down CONSTANTLY when trying to re-align the camera with L every few seconds. Ah well, saves me 40 bucks and lets me continue the wait for Soul Sacrifice.

Currently grinding my way through Denpa Men on the 3DS. If gameplay is not too twitchy and only top down or sidescrolling, the console works fine.

Getting a XL CCP myself. The 3DSXL is one of the most, is not the most, uncomfortable device to hold in bed.

I didn't think MH supported the CPP, though? Or were you just talking in general?

But yes, I agree. The 3DSXL is unwieldy in bed. Doubly so for games that use a lot of the stylus (I can not for the life of me play Etrian Odyssey in bed)
 
Nice OP. Jesus them games. Yall this thing has way too many games. Sony needs to stop it. Wallets everywhere are starting to feel the pain :(

Didn't want to read that.
I'm planning on upgrading my OG unit to a XL because the OG seems like a postage stamp compared to my vita and it hurts my hands.
Though the upgrade may never happen if NoA keeps refusing to give me a decent color.


I thought I played every decent psp game out there but got bored so figured id give patchwork heros a whirl being I got it for free. Only did first few missions but digging it thus far.

Completely forgot about PWH now free is something I can get behind!

just think it was the demo, the game itself has support from what I've played (Actually asks if you want to use it when first bootup).

Yeah I also actually waited for the XL, since the normal DS gave me pain I never knew existed :p

Although I'll report back once I get the CCP. Did an image search and it seems to bulk up the device a bit, giving it more room to hold.

Really weird that I could adjust to the vita's size, but not the 3DSXLs
 
MH is pretty much dead to me - got so bored of that franchise and that endless grind. I sank like 600+ hours into Freedom Unite, I never want to get into the franchise again so IMO, good riddance. Soul Sacrifice looks like a wonderful breath of fresh air in the genre, so I can't wait. I just wish PSO2 would be localized for the Vita in the west and I'd be all set :\ Also, dat giant XL 3DS - no thank you. Whenever I buy one (whenever they finally localize Fantasy Life) I'll get an OG 3DS.

I think it's just that MH is great for you if you love to grind. I mean, that's pretty much what there is to the game. I played the shit outta Freedom Unite, but after about 40 or 50 hours, I just asked "why the fuck am I doing this"?
 
I just tried the Fire Emblem and Monster Hunter demos for 3DS. While I am sooo looking forward for Fire Emblem finally, I cant tell you guys how much I wanted MH on Vita. The game was a pain to play on the 3DS >_<

even though I tried it on the 3DS XL... the screen makes me cry
I want it on my Vita :(
 
I own both and would recommend Zen Pinball the most. Loads of tables (25+), lots of play views, and it looks amazing on the Vita's screen. Plus, the latest Star Wars tables are awesome.

People here seem to be pretty split, so I think that's what I'll do. The demos both seem decent, so it can't hurt to get both base games!

The menus and interface in Zen are better than in Pinball Arcade.

Plus there's something magical about the girl's voice in the Plants vs Zombies table. <3

I guess this is for fighting games(the fighting stick style d-pad replacement thingy)

thing is you hold your Vita in your hands while playing so this is pointless I guess.

Which of the psp monster hunter games is best suited to a newbie who will ONLY be playing solo?

get God Eater Burst.

avoid MHFU,it's bad so very bad and even worse solo,God Eaters is more newcomer friendly,a better game and can be playable solo has better combat and an actual story and is good game unlike the overrated boring fest that is MonHun.

Since you think P3P is bad I'm going to buy MHFU directly due to you not liking it. If you hate it, must be a great game.

I agree with you for once? Holy crap! ;)

I am using an EU account and everything else with my real personal information as a main account. It sometime sucks because I am german and we don't get everything, but overall EU PS+ is fine, I don't think the US PS+ is better.

I'm using my regular EU account. Over all, EU Plus tends to be better value, but there are good titles coming on both. Which one is "best" will vary vary from month to month and which titles you prefer.

EU PSN+ is years ahead over US stuff but games are cheaper in US plus they get some more content. Also EU account will accept you credit card.

Thanks a lot guys. I'm in, EU PS+, the Vita should be arriving by the end of the week.

Pinball Arcade is such a sad game. The pinball legacy deserves a better developer.

Well, I mean, it's nothing to write home about, but I don't think there's an arcade within 100 miles of me anymore. I miss Scared Stiff, Medieval Madness, etc. enough to toss someone a few bucks for a reasonable facsimile.

Yep, but it's really sad how incompetent Farsight is. If it wasn't for the fact it got a niche market by the balls they would been out of business a long time ago.

May I make a suggestion? I think (someone can confirm this for me) that you can get $10 back for ever $50 spent today. If I were you I'd use the webstore to get the digital games I'd want today to take advantage of this.

I haven't seen that on the EU store (the $ thingy makes me think it's only US related?).

computer game software; electronic game software for handheld electronic devices; video game software.

something for Vita maybe..hopefully.

Toto is right this time, geb is a fantastic game and really suited for a solo newbie

I second God Eater Burst. Monster Hunter gets old really fast. GEB get old, farther in.

God Eater Burst - afaik MH series doesn't even care you are playing solo. And at least we have chance to get part 2 in west.

Gonna have to look this up. My first hint that these people weren't too great was the last PS3 patch. Now you've got me wondering if I should feel bad for giving them money.

Sounds fantastic for new comers to the series.
Thanks for the recomendation.
 
hmm, i have not decided yet if i should get DOA5+ or Street fighter X Tekken.

This 2 games sounds a good purchase for my fighting needs xD

Honestly, none of the MonHon's are great solo because you will hit a break wall in difficulty. The game is meant to be played with multiple people (but it doesn't have proper online, go figure). If I had to choose one though, just like everyone else, MHFU is the best of em all. The Felynes help so much.


So...I am absolutely loving Disgaea, dood. The game encourages you to be awesome and overpowered, I mean come on what is there not to like?
