Gotta finish the last hour or so of Ys 7 before graduating up to Celceta.

I really regret getting the LE of both KH 1.5HD and ToX (and its CE now) - all these price drops @_@

Beat Hotline Miami. The trophy you get for beating it is very fitting.

Loved it. Fun, addicting, and difficult but forgiving.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the voice acting in Atlier is really bad. I don't know if you can turn off the voices. Never tried as I try to look past bad voice acting normally. I vaguely remember that the settings for it had a lot of options, so it might.

But yeah, it does have some harvest moon paralells thematically. Except it's with alchemy.

If you already have the game (Ys Celceta) why should you spend more money? Just buy those Ys PSP games.

If it doesn't say that on Amazon, I don't think so. If that is on PSN store, maybe you will get it also with the code you purchased from Amazon.

Nevermind what I just said , I searched google and found this

Just redeemed my code on my PS Vita. Surprisingly it still came with the pre-order bonuses (thought it was only available for the first week).
For people who buy this and miss out on the pre-order bonuses, it might be possible to get them by complaining to Sony about the redeem code function being disabled. Who knows?

Mh... I made a big mistake... I ordered the Limited Edition of Muramasa (at 30$, how could I not?) from Amazon.com forgetting the fact that it has DLC. DLC that I won't be able to enjoy since I'm European and all. :/

I have had it on PC for a while and it is a great game. Still have the OST on my iPhone and listen to it regularly.

It's the long forgotten black magic called "actually putting an effort into it".

95% of Vita games look bad because the developer couldn't be bothered to fully optimize the game to the Vita hardware. In these modern days of 3rd party middleware and such, developers rarely go the extra length to fully use the platform they're targeting, and that problem is even worse on "niche" platforms such as the Vita.

Bullshit. Most games have an incredible amount of effort put into them, it just so happens that not every team can work with over 60 people on a Vita project for more than 3 years.

Except "couldn't be bothered" is, in this case, "Vita games sell so horribly badly that there's no sense to give console-level AAA budgets to Vita games." It's not developer laziness or really even publisher greed in most cases. It's just the harsh reality of game development costs vs. actual sales. Devs could hardly afford to put huge sums of money behind harnessing the full power of PSP (only a few of the bigger publishers could do it with franchises like Final Fantasy & Monster Hunter). Vita is I don't even know how much more expensive to develop for (if you really make a game like Killzone) AND it's a super-niche platform. I mean, even some INDIE developers have said they've been disappointed with Vita sales and their game budgets are a fraction of "proper" Vita games' development budgets.

Oh please, developers are working their asses off. They love good games just as much as you do, probably more, and they all want to make the best game possible. Not their fault that budgets and deadlines are so tight.

I know it's december but i want to reply to the developers effort discussion.
Time, vita's sales and money sure influence the final result, and a hand from sony helps too, but if there's no big talent you can't do killzone or tearaway, made by 15 people iirc.
Do i need to remember that many vita games look like psp games and that many others(some of those psp looking games too) are not optimized and have big framerate ior resolution ssues?
They can have all the reasons of this world but many developers undoubtely made lazy efforts on vita.

Absolutely. There are some games though that don't show up on the Vita store that you can transfer from the PS3 if you have one.

I believe Tactics Ogre (PSP version) is a game that you can just download from your Vita since it sits there on my screen like a candy:P

Closest I can think of, and it's not that close, is Super Stardust Delta. Fantastic game though. :)

Thinking about it, did the Space Invaders remake come out for the PSP? If so that might be a good bet.
