Ninty would have offered higher amount of cash Sony have proposed, to the exetent that would overwhelm the benefit.
Bravo sir... =)
Oh, okay, I see that now. That is quite impressive, lol.
I'm sure I won't feel much regret if I'm paying 4 bucks for it, but the multi-touch puzzles are definitely my biggest concern. I had the (mis)fortune of running into one during the demo I played back in March and it really soured me on the game.
That's why I've been insisting on waiting for a sale.

So I have $32.61 sitting in my PSN wallet. Not sure if I should buy Dokuro today or save it for NFS:MW.
And I just need to spend another $30 for $100
October promotion.

You're going to need to add more money in order to buy NFS:MW whether you buy Dokuro or not.

The multitouch parts are like 1% of a otherwise fantastic game. If you really want to let that ruin it for you then you are missing out.
Had no trouble at all with any of the puzzles in the game.

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
When does that come out?
Dokuro is later today, $19.99. Most Wanted is Oct 30 at $39.99.

Yup, very true.
Shit, EA doesn't give a $4 or $5 digital discount, do they?

Probably not. Fifa 13 and Madden don't have the $5 discount.

Oh ffs, I was really looking forward to JSR. It was my last push for those $100. Had I kwon I'd buy a full game instead of so many small titles for that last push.
I don't think Fifa has any discount online. In that case I think I'd buy physical. I wanted to go full digital but my MC is full already.

I don't think it's really about whether they're troublesome or not -- multi-touch puzzles just aren't any fun.
I got past it, it's just not fun. This game is awful when it tries to be meat boy with worse controls + touch gimmicks. The 5% of the time it's 2d katamari it's legitimately great sucking up broken tanks and scared scientists. Sadly those sections are far too rare.
As for people expecting EA to give a download discount? It's EA you are lucky they don't charge you 20$ over retail for "convenience".

I am not trying to sound like a jerk here so please don't take offense, but what games do you like? Specifically on the vita?

I know we all thought this month was pretty crowded, but the two releases I was most looking forward (JSR and TPA new tabler) got pushed back. FFffff

1. It wasn't all at once. It was over the span of several Weeks
2. I didn't say anything. All it took was uncharted, gravity rush, virtual tennis and UMvC 3 on the OLED and they were sold.
3. They wanted to play games on the go anyway. Vita was "better" than any other alternative in their eyes.
4. Showing them them difference between battlefield 3 on PC and consoles almost made them put down consoles for good.
They only got a ps3 because they have a vita.
5. I should run lol.

Eh, I enjoyed them. As a person who is/was high ranked on the leaderboards I felt they flowed with the level well and rarely got in the way.

I may be remembering wrongly, but aren't all of the multi-touch puzzles literally a few seconds of dragging your finger across the screen?
Well I mean, I wouldn't know how prevalent they are. All I can speak for is my experience playing a 10 minute demo in which I encountered a multi-touch segment and found it pretty repellent.
I'm glad there's a sale because I'm eager to give it a chance!

The problem for me is it needlessly detracts from the larger experience. I think I've said this before but I don't have an issue with touch controls per se; it becomes and issue when I'm playing a game with traditional controls and suddenly I've got to place my fingers over top of the screen and make some gesture. It's frustrating.
Yeah, I thought they were clever, not to mention take up probably no more than 5 minutes of the entire game.
Seriously. LOL. He's one of the most negative gamers I've ever seen.
I'm curious too. He hates everything.
Not a big racing fan, NFS MW looks good but i'm thinking of doing this to get that $20 for spending $100 instead
Little king story (Vitabros has sold me on it)
Ragnarok Odyssey (I really want to go digital on most stuff to have it on my card)
mutant blobs on sale (just to make Carl happy)
PvsZ on sale
Unfinished Swan
Will pick up FF3 with $20 back
going to keep my LoTR Lego and AC:L preorders at newegg

Katamari touch was too short but I enjoyed my time.
VT4 is gorgeous but like the console version was bummed out how the career upgrades/progression was handled compared to past versions.
Wipeout 2048 is awesome if you can handle the load times. (Don't seem to bother me since 99% of my vita time I have NBA/NFL on the tv in the background or my gf is playing a game on the tv).
Mortal Kombat despite being a port is GREAT.
Rayman again a port but a great game.
UMvC port but fantastic.
Unit 13 while savaged in reviews seems pretty decent for what it is. (only 1.5 hours in).
NFS/AC:L/P4G are 3 of my four most wanted games the rest of the year.
I thought it was a nice change from the rest of the game. Helps to mix it up a bit and stop it all getting too boring.

Wow. I think I'll let Carl handle this.
I think the only think I remember pissing me off was the multitouch to get the blob friend in one of the levels in the teens.
I think I'd prefer if the rest of the game were just never boring to begin with
Anyway, I don't mean to sound super negative -- hopefully I will find the overall package as awesome as the rest of you folks.
I can't imagine how you would write a list of games you didn't like.
Anyway, how is Tales From Space trying to be a Meat Boy clone? They play nothing alike.

It isn't boring, it's brilliant. But even the greatest of games can get boring if you're doing the same thing all of the time. You need some different mechanics to break the game up and keep it fresh, IMO. Which is exactly what the puzzles and stuff do.
It's not really silliness. I think it works well and fits into the game well. Most other people in here seem to agree.
I can't imagine how you would write a list of games you didn't like.
Hahaha, that cracked me up, too.
It's not often that I post in the gaming side these days. I still browse and my Vita is still getting used but I try and just not engage. Sometimes though I have no choice
MBA is amazing. Not liking it is punishable by extreme poking with a mildly sharp stick. Sorry.

The different sections of tales from space are clearly broken up into different styles of play.
- The 2d sections where gaining size is the main objective, I found this super fun even if too easy/too short/too rare.
- The "rocket" control sections. I found them both boring and easy.
- The high speed/thread the needle sections that remind me of meatboy. I find these incredibly boring and simply don't think the controls are responsive enough to make these sections complicated enough to be fun.
- The multitouch puzzles, rare but nothing more than gimmicky usage of hardware features.
- The gyro bonus levels. They are rather easy due to generous checkpoints but I find them super boring as well.
edit: I have no qualms with people enjoying the parts I find to be bad, just feel the need to post about it because the circle jerk of hype in this thread made me act like an idiot and buy it.
edit #2 Not sure why you bolded those thing since I obviously don't mind that those games were ports, and didn't write any of the unit 13 reviews just saying that I expected worse due to the reviews.
Lol, i don't think i've ever seen someone so negative
where is LBP??
