Later than NA and overpriced. Good job Sega
Eu peasants have to wait till next week
The game is already later than the PS3 version. A week won't kill you xD
Go and play Tearaway. You don't have the rights to call anybody peasant until you finish it.
FixedBy stealth, you man clearly listed in the blog post at the end of a long list after lots of uninteresting stuff right?

They post too much to actually have time to play Vita
Sounds about right.

Just downloaded the demo for PDf (EU here)...
My first rhythm game in ages and it really shows, haven't been able to get an excellent or higher on any normal song yet.
Even a Great ranking is hard atm but it really is kinda addicting to try and improve
I can't pass first song on easy

Right there with you. I'm awful at rhythm games, it's why I'm not buying the game (at least not at launch)
I can't pass first song on easy
I know I need less salt in my diet, but I couldn't resist.
In all seriousness, it takes practice. I played the first Project Diva and it took me a month to finally beat a song with 'Excellent'.

Wat....
This is the easiest rhythm game, and on easy, you only have to press one button.
Well, blame the indies. They have to operate on absurdly short hype cycles because they can't maintain it for that long. It plays hell with my budgeting but I understand... I think I disagree with the promoting thing though. Some of the indies are really on top of it like Road Not Taken devs with their dev blogs. Others go, "Here's our game" and then "Our game comes out today" and that's their 2 blog posts. I don't know how you get a blog post but theirs a disparity somewhere. Also, they regularly put indies in the PSN Store Spotlight, Awesomenauts is there now in fact. In games indies take up nearly as much space shelf wise as the AAA games do.
Flandy doesn't get that excuse seeing how low he is on the list. I could catch up if I wanted too with constructive comments. But, I decided I'm actually going to play videogames this week instead. And do school work. The GAF talks more than plays games is actually true. Color me surprised..

Which is why I said I was awful at them
EDIT: I got a "Standard" ranking this time. I should probably stop playing while I'm on top
Nice! Now go for Perfect on Hard :3Thanks for the motivation first "Excellent" for me
Let us know how the Slim is; I like my OG white Vita too much to trade it in. Plus dat OLED.
But how can an indie hype the game. First of all, you have the low (or zero) marketing budget. Media coverage isn't as good since those games don't give clicks. Is better to make a shitty article about last Sony / Microsoft PR comment that can guarantee 3000 views. And there is that "2nd tier" feeling most gamers have about them.
Sony should put give those downloads cards for indies. Or some initiatives like that Journey/Flow/Flower Collection or the Indie MegaPack to bring them to retail. They could sign a deal with those indies for both. Sony does the distribution, gets a little piece of the cake, indies get shelf space. There is some people that does not like download only games.
Edit: Nevermind. I thought there was the PS3 version for 5 and the Vita for 40.
I would actually try hard but EU only has the demo =/
Will do. I have an OG white too.
The slim will be for digital games only. White for retail.

True Vita owners don't play games, they just buy them.

I finally got round to Platinuming Resistance Burning Skies today. Just needed one easy trophy that only took me about 20 minutes to get... I enjoyed replaying the first few missions more than I thought I would, the alien weapons are great fun to play around with. The Auger is still one of my favourite FPS weapons, being able to blast people's heads off through walls is strangely satisfying.
I also tried Smart As... as its now free via PS+. I like it, I'm not one for brain training games but this seems fun. I'll stick with the daily challenges and see if I improve any over time. Not a game I'd really buy but decent as a freebie.
PS4 wise I'm really digging Dead Nation at the moment. I never got the PS3 version so its all new for me and I'm really enjoying blasting away at the zombie hordes when they start ganging up on me.
Rayman is still keeping me really entertained as well via the challenge mode. Weirdly this was the game I was most excited to use the share button for so I could upload videos of decent challenge mode runs. Shameless plug!:

It's on sale all the time. You could probably play FFX/X-2 to completion and find it back on sale within a few weeks.
Yeah it's on sale pretty often, but I missed it a few times until the last time it was on sale. lol
pretty done

I can't believe there's Vita owners that haven't played Tearaway. It's fucking mind blowing.
Well, I loved the game but I can definitely understand why people would be hesitant to invest in it given its length and lack of replayability. The initial $30-$40 investment may be too costly for them, especially for people in Asia where game prices don't drop so drastically. But if it's on sale for half the price, you would have no reason to not buy it.
I played the demo and fucking loved it, but as I've stated, my money's tied up in other things. I pushed it already buying PDf this week.
Flandy has the game but hasn't finished it. Killatopak doesn't even have it (it's been on sales already)
Shameful. To think they are out top posters...

It was a tragic comedy that anyone had to convince anyone who actually owned a Vita that Tearaway was THE game to get, or even to just download the demo in some cases. Especially when it doubled down on sale price twice in that first month.
"we need real games, not this indie trash" etc - a tree fell in the woods and no one heard it, even though a few people were around.
No offense to anyone, just general Vita owner jadedness.
It's also that certain games may take priority over others. For me, I really wanted to buy Tearaway at launch, but there were other things that took priority (PS4, Ys and Sorcery Saga come to mind). Hell, I didn't even get Killzone: Mercenary until after Christmas, simply because there were other games that I wanted more.
I still haven't played Tearaway, but I'll grab it eventually. Has nothing to do with the price or the content, it's just about prioritizing what games I want the most.
Edit: For reference, Flandy and coolasj gave me shit

The demo didn't do a great job at selling it to me. I will get it eventually but other games take priority. Sorry, Vita brehs.

So many games just seem to have terrible demos. Little Big Planet Vita has one of the worst demos I have ever seen, but the game itself is incredibly fun.

I've been playing Awesomenauts on remote play a lot today. It seems to work really well. Now I can finally play a MOBA on the can!
Third time I've bought this game too. Love it. I need the DLC costumes to go live so I can give Ronimo even more of my money.

they should really just port the game to Vita already ><

Edit: For reference, Flandy and coolasj gave me shitfor saying I'm not going to get Second Son at launch. It's not that I don't want Second Son, it's that The Witch & The Hundred Knight comes out in the same time frame and I know it's going to be a lot harder to find a NISA game post-launch than it is Second Son.
In that scenario I'd rather buy Witch than Infamous myself, if given the option. That game's right up my alley, and I'm not the biggest Infamous fan... I'd really only be buying it to have something epic and shiny new to play on PS4 if I had one.
Maybe it just didn't click with him. It happens. *shrugs*
I dunno about Killa though. Maybe he has a good reason.

It's a perfectly valid reason as I do the same myself. The game might be on sale when I decide to buy it so it's a win-win situation.
For reference, I categorize games in terms of priority in 3 tiers:
(1) Games I want when it launches - I buy it whatever its price at launch. Mostly retail games if a retail version is available. If a LE is available, I might go for it.
Too bad LEs are not available here in Asia as I really wanted that Danganronpa LE.
I'm still waiting for an Atelier Meruru sale.
I've played it and own the retail version. I just haven't finished it
:lol :lol :lol
#dead. Laughed really hard. Thank you for that
It's funny because it's true
