I have them all (except Sly which is still not out here), haven't played KU yet (got it with PS+) but they're all good really, don't think you'd go wrong with any. Pick what sort of game you feel like playing.

I really enjoyed Knytt. It's a beautiful Metroidvania/traversal puzzle game, with a huge map. Just don't pay too much attention to the dialog, it's rather poor but not really central to the gameplay.
Yeah feel the same. Reminds me of the first Assasins Creed. Big world but limited interaction with It. Would love next game to be more fleshed out. Really loved that game, GR was the title that sold me fully on Vita.
That's kind of what I'd been leaning towards (Rayman, MGS, Sine) but there are quite a few people vouching for HSG.

Picked up MLB 12 tonight for 15 bucks. After playing through a quick exibition game consider me impressed. Except for the horribly pixelated crowd the game is darn near console quality in terms of lighting, character models, and animation. It's amazing how far we've come.

have you ever played a hsg game before?? does golf interest you at all? do you want a sports game?
I golf IRL, but have never been super into sports video games.
Tried it until the demo ended (two fights). It was alright. Bought it since it was kinda cheap.

You're crazy. Everyone should own Hot Shots Golf

You did really good, nevertheless!
I was lucky and didn't get water hazards. That's usually my downfall. Just takes one bad hole to throw a good round down the drain.
Iacobellis
Junior Member
Yep, that's what happened to me.
Nah, it's just a much uglier and lighter version of Out of Bounds and there are better HSG games out there. This one is just stale and doesn't try much different from other HSG games. If he doesn't own any other Sony platform is the only way I would suggest getting HSG:WI.
I've played too many HSG games to settle for this one.

had a couple in and outs. and just short or just left...

You have all of those, right? What are your problems with them, from your experience playing?
I could use those trophies. What timezone is that in?
Eastern.
Alright, cool, I can make that time. My PSN is Slashkice.

Really? With the addition of the shop from The PSP games and the shooting styles from OOB,I would call this the current HSG champ. And calling it uglier and lighter? You sound like Totobeni

It doesn't run at native resolution, but the character models are better than OOB1 and 2.
There's only 1 Out of Bounds game, and it's for PS3. I think you're confusing Open Tee / Open Tee 2 from PSP with it.
Man, SCEA's naming scheme with the franchise is a little wack.

Ah man, I was. Thanks for catching that for me.

So I finally started Hot Shots - already having a blast. It's a breath of fresh air because I've been playing a lot of racing games and Ninja Gaiden lately (and NG tends to crush my soul). I'm really torn on what platinum to go after next, everything I have unfinished now seems to have online trophies and I really, really hate online trophies x_x I think I might finally play through+platinum Golden Abyss, as big of an Uncharted fan as I am I couldn't keep trekking through it on hard, I always do hard on my first playthrough otherwise it's like cruise control.

Just a heads up: Best Buy is supposed to have Sly 4 for $29.99 for PS3 and $19.99 for Vita version this week.
Vita version is live!
Vita version is live!
Nice deal, I immediately went to the bestbuy.com page and was going to purchase, but then realized the low price was making me buy a game I never wanted to begin with.
I think I will hold off.
I believe Takara Tomy got out of the video game industry. They haven't published anything since 2011 globally at this point.

I had a bit of a random question - are there any psp, ps1 or Vita games out there that are like Animal Crossing? I play th le Harvest Moon games and they're not quite like Animal Crossing so.. Just wanting to get that social/sim fix. I know there was a psp franchise that never made it outside of Japan that was somewhat like AC, just hoping there's something for us westerners :/

Doesn't Little Kings Story get compared to Animal Crossing? I have no first hand knowledge of either title, so I have no real idea, but I'm pretty sure I've read that comparison.
Peace Walker does. Portable Ops I don't think so.
Yeah to verify what is said above, Peace walker does but I learnt the hard way that PO doesn't.

Well, it is a sim game in some respects but its also a strategy and action game. I played it, loved it, platinumed it. Animal Crossing is like a sim where you live in a small town filled with talking animals. You do errands and save money for stuff, that's about it though.
No, don't skip Sonic Racing or HSG. Maybe buy the bolded games first, but Sonic Racing & HSG are both really good.

Hmmm. Maybe the Sims games? The Vita doesn't have any, but the PSP got a few of them.
.
They're good games too
Depends on your preference of game type really, they're all different.Alex Connolly

Having a great time with Rocketbirds.
It is quite a visually arresting game, some great backdrops and use of foreground/background depth - especially given its Flash origins. I'd like even more detail and animation in a sequel if anything gets off the ground. I suppose that counts as a contextual pun.
Works really well as a game to cap off a long day at work with. Nothing terribly taxing, just a few light puzzles and some Flashback/Abe's Oddysee-esque platforming.
Thumbs up.

I've played Super Stardust for too long and scrolling down pages on my laptop now looks like they're wrapping around a sphere.

How does the cross buy work for sly?
Do you need a code or just the disc?

Same as PSAll-Stars, you need to activate "Disc Benefits" with the disc in the PS3.
WOW!!!!
