Guys what the fuck, there's 2 Power Stone Collections on the PSN Store, one 15 AUD and the other 25 AUD. Are they the same game? Is this a mistake? Is this real life?
Well, despite Vita's horrible sales Gravity Rush has outsold the first Patapon, and potentially the second in Japan.
Yeah finally! Such a bummer that these games always take too long to come overseas, maybe next time I'll just import.
NLKS: I don't own it. But it's seems to be a good game with some framerate issues.
Ragnarok Odyssey: Own it; don't judge it off the demo. The game doesn't open up until chapter 3. It feels very much like MH.
Assassins Creed Liberation: I liked this more than AC3. It's Assassins, love/hate.
Earth Defense 2017: It's just a joy to play.. LOOT! A ton of weapons, which all impact the game differently...Kill tons of aliens.. Control mechs, tanks, speeder bike etc..
I'd go with EDF, despite it being slightly overpriced.

Are you connecting your Vita to a standard WiFi router? Have you done any configuration on that router regarding opening ports, or setting up the Vita to be on a DMZ?
Also, if you have the means to try taking the Vita to a friend's and testing it on their WiFi network.

Do you have a 3G model? I have one and I wonder if somehow it's caused the Wi-Fi inside to be atrocious. Because I have problems with that a lot as well, even though the Vita is in the same room as my desktop and laptop, both with Wi-Fi adapters that work just fine. So I know it's not the signal.
One thing that seems to help somewhat is going into Settings, the Network, then Wi-Fi settings, then turn on "Disconnect Wi-Fi Automatically"
Don't ask me why that helps, but when I started getting those errors, I looked it up in a search and someone on Gamefaqs said to try it. And it worked.
Try setting your settings to default. By that I don't mean formatting, just resetting your system settings.
On another note, I finally got the EG platinum. It was my first golf game, really fun and challenging with maybe a bit too much content. XD

Yeah EDF is great fun. Just a shame I never see many people online because its really fun co op. Its great fun single player as well but co op is just that bit more fun and crazy.
Im tempted by RO myself. I wouldnt say it feels anything like MH though. More like a cross between God Eater and PSO, both of which I loved (while I really dont like MH). But i have only played the demo.
Assassins creed liberation is an OK game. Its story is a mess and it has some pretty bad frame rate issues and bugs. However it does feel very much like assassins creed (complete with frame rate issues and bugs lol).

Congrats.
Thanks. You should also try the NGS+ one.
You can't new game + with your upgraded weapons, so really: fuck that. I'm not doing Master Ninja rank on Master Ninja, that's too much of a headache along with the six-axis fucking with the bow controls.
Nope. I have mine set by internet and it never asks the time except when I'm moving memory cards around, where you're undergoing the initial setup process.

If you're ok with dropping down 40$ for a game, I'd say it's between NLKS and RO, but those are the only two I've played. Out of those two, I liked NLKS more - it's a wonderful sim/action RPG/RTS that's held back by a frame rate that dips when there's a lot going on screen. If you're ok with that, it's a really great game and lots of us here went and got the platinum trophy for it too - we liked it that much. RO is a lot of fun but people tend to either like it or hate it, so.
This looks pretty awesome actually - I hope at least one of these dungeon crawler Vita games comes to the West.
Yeah I have a 3G model and I've never had that problem. Definitely something that shouldn't be happening though! The new PS3 store is atrocious so I'm glad the Vita store is the same old store, much easier to navigate.

Have someone posted this interview already ?
Have someone posted this interview already ?
Was just messing with ya on the whole violence/archaic thing! I guessed you meant in regards to the combat and being locked into animations and soforth, although that doesn't sound exactly like your complaint, more the rehashing of ideas, right? I've only played a little bit of MH:FU, maybe an hour or two, but I didn't really get hooked into it, and I can't speak about how different iterations of the franchise have progressed. Playing offline seems like a really watered down experience, and I'm not even sure if, being in the EU, I can do the whole ad-hoc PS3 thing. I'm much more excited for something fresh, judging by the demo, SS looks a lot more appealing to me.
What I meant to ask yesterday but didn't have the time for - are you still interested in some Ragnarok co-ops? The best online experience I had of it was with yourself and Grim so it'd be fun (for me at least, dunno about you guys hah) if we could do that again since I think we're all at roughly the same point. None of us are overpowered at least, I don't think - which was my main point of contention when playing online, someone would always make it waaay too easy.
Ragnarok is mediocre unless you plan on spending most of your playtime online with other people; otherwise, wait for a retail copy to hit $20 or less.
AC Liberation is decent, but, again, wait for a retail copy to drop in price.
NLKS is quite good, as long as you can overlook the chugging framerate (never hampers gameplay). No retail version of this in the US, and importing will cost you more than $40. Also, keep in mind that the game is very similar to the Wii version, but the Wii version is significantly cheaper.
EDF is decent, but $40 is way too steep of a price--it's not hard to find the PS3/360 version of this for less than $15, so keep that in mind as you consider paying the "digital only, Vita game" tax.
IMHO, I'd spread your $40 over PSN content, especially considering the huge Square-Enix sale that's currently going on. Also, Valkyria Chronicles II is currently $20, and it's a much better game than any of the four you asked about.
Seems like a good sign. Hopefully Soul Sacrifice sells enough so that it becomes a new franchise for Sony.
It's actually $10 right now, even more reason to buy it.

you're leaning the right way
. nlks is the sleeper gem on the vita - was surprised by just how much fun i had with it (& wish i could own a hard copy)...among the others, i enjoyed assassin's creed, ragnarok odyssey still hasn't clicked for me, & earth defense force will be bought at $20...

I want NLKS so bad but I just can't justify the $40 price tag.

Kudos man, that's no small feat. I love the game but I can't see me ever finishing it.

Oh god. Why did I read this. I loved the first Valkyria chronicles on ps3. I just never got around to buying it on the PSP. I'm still playing through FF6-9 dammit lol.
That's my problem too. I'm primarily a PC gamer and I don't like paying more than $20 just to add to backlog

So Hotline Miami is coming to Vita. Pretty awesome news ; it's nice to see some of these indie successes come to the system. Cross-buy, too.

LOL.
Now I've heard everything.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
If i wanted to play sales instead of games i'd have bought 3DS
Niiice. *vita-bro-fist!*

Was just about to post this.
YEEEEESSSSSS. I've been waiting for ages for this! (funny how it'll probably come before the promised Mac port, too)
Those neon colours are gonna look great on dat OLED.

Yeah ; I actually bought it on Mac and haven't been able to play it! Kind of a shame, but hey. If the game is as good as everyone seems to think it is then I'll really look forward to it. Along with Frozen Synapse, my Vita is trying to make my Steam account redundant.

yeah, I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I've predicted this since the NGP reveal when people said western support for handheld console is minimal, the big publishers may not publish a lot of original games rather than some cheap ports, but I always thought indie studio is rising quickly in the western market and they will give plenty of support for vita.
of course I never predicted vita hardware sales to be struggling this much, but it's good to see indie still care enough for the platform to make games on it.

Thats awesome news. Will def grab that. I would love a ton of indie games on my Vita.
We already know that since 2 months or so now. Held off on playing the Vita version due to that. All slowpokes of you
Still cool as hell though.

I assume it means 250k downloads vs Japanise userbase of 1250k.
And the number of downloads from outside Japan is probably really small considering how much effort it takes (and second card)
does Tearawa 64 has a release date?
At least Toyama is still working for SCEJ, unlike the creator of LocoRoco and Pyramid.
Better news than anything "games related" that was in Vita Hell 2.0.

Where is it? I remember I could read the info on the online store... now I cannot find it...
One of two things first.
1) Make sure you have a decent sized Memory Card if your going to download the game.
or
2) Get the special package version since that comes on a card so you can (hopefully) survive on as small as a 4GB if that's all your playing (like me).
Then you have to
3) Sign up for a JP Sega ID.
&
4) JP PSN account
To fully answer your question, do you have only 1 memory card or more than 1? Obviously having more than one will help immensely.
How the hell will Hotline Miami control though? That game relies on instantaneous aiming. You can forget sticks. Maybe they'll try to use the rear touchpad?
BTW is there anything like Advance Wars on the Vita? I know there's a ton of TRPGs but I'd like something slightly faster-paced.

Hotline Miami plays fine on PC with a 360 pad.
I would hope they polish it up for this release too but, eh, you never know.

I thought it was just talk from the developer and not actually confirmed or anything. Either way, I'll probably get it if it's priced well.
Thanks for the sheet btw - I actually got that one! I'm really on a roll now.

I don't think any of those games are worth $40.
You could conceivably get your money's worth out of Ragnarok if you had friends to play with online. I bought the game and have only played it solo. I lasted about 12 hours before all desire to continue was lost

Even in jest I'm not sure how anyone could say this.
Wasn't there supposed to be some bad news about it?
