Vita PSN Game And Service Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
So you disagree? That's fine, but there are many many people who agree with me. I've been gaming since the NES days and it's one of the best games I've ever played.

So have I. ;)
In fact, I had Arkham City idle on my TV last night and was blown away... it just hit me how far we've come since the 8-bit days when I was playing games back on the NES/SMS/Atari/Commodore 128.

I do not wish to drag this thread down into another round of "hey everyone, rate the Uncharted games." We've done that more than enough. And it happens just about anytime someone comes in and starts talking about Golden Abyss. I don't even really understand why marrec even asked about the console ones, as he has no PS3 to play them on (unless he was seriously considering buying one and this was going to influence his decision... sort of a "I like this, are they all this good?" or something).

And just for the record:
I personally think Uncharted 2 is hands-down the worst game in the series, but . But we've covered that in here and it basically comes down to what you expect from the game. For me it was a disappointment that was corrected with Uncharted 3. For a lot of people, the opposite is true.
It's good to have opinions and discourse on things, for certain; I'm just wary of someone kicking off the Uncharted series ranking bit again. :p

is there any way to dim or turn off the blue led light behind the "home" button?

shits annoying, esp in the dark.

Note the customer photo; he had to punch a hole/cut out the area so you could see the glow of the home button (I did this with mine too using an X-acto knife).

Well, add me in the group that supported Atlus with a Persona 4 purchase ;) "sadly" I will have to swim first through several PS+ games and the like so it will have to wait.
 
Was looking at jobs in futurlabs website and they have a 3d modeller open - interestingly it states

• Excellent 3D modeling and texturing ability.
• A strong interest in sci-fi and predominately vehicle design.

Sounds like an awesome PSM game ;)

I just got the creepiest message on my Vita. "Found you on Near. Wazzup you live super close to me."

I just checked and the update removed my private zone so I've been broadcasting my location without knowing it.

This happened to me too except I got no message. Just a friend invite. I accepted it and we havent talked since. He sent me a voice chat invite the one day but I wasnt around to accept it.
 
did anybody here order Need for Speed Most Wanted from Origin for Vita while it was on sale? I received an order confirmation but haven't heard anything else since

Heh, I'm actually trying to finish Persona 1 PSP before I dig in. It'll be a test of willpower though. >_<

I activated my Near thing and saw like, 14 people within 3 km that were playing Vitas. One of them was playing P4. I want to shake their hand.

Played through he first 15 minutes of AC3:L. God that game is awful, framerate problems galore for a game that doesn't even look that great and it seems like the story is gonna be pretty much non existent in this.

In other news I think I need to get that HORI grip. My hand are too big to comfortably use the thumb sticks.

I have huge hands and haven't experienced any physical pain associated with using the Vita yet... but I'm going to get those grips as well, just seems more comfortable.

Play until you get over the tutorial section. The first part has more FPS issues and a weird filter that makes it look really weird.

Also, the game gets better once you finish the first part and are free to do what you want.

obviously because atlus is so huge they paid off everyone thus we can only trust the reviews that gave it below an 8.5/10.... wait you mean to tell me an 8.5/10 is the lowest score... those monsters buying off everyone... is there no good reviewers left?

*goes back to playing persona 4 :p*

it still begs the question though, if persona 4 is the highest rated game this year, and most people agree that it's one of the best games to come out this year... can it actually win a GOTY, or does the fact that it's a port of a 2008 game keep it from being able to win GOTY?

not really your exact location, I got a similar message, lived a few blocks away from me, made a new friend

New content, new game IMO... It deserves to win GOTY if no other game can best it.

Is there anything different about Jet Set Radio Vita? I've never played Jet Set Radio aside from one time maybe 6 years back.

whoever wrote that up totally dropped the ball by not mentioning that p4g has the highest meta score of any game released this year on any platform. its literally game of the year!

I actually got the game for my partner as a gift since he is digging P3FES and P4A at the moment, but I will undoubtedly get into the game (and in P3FES too) when I free myself some more.

No, the fact that it's a Vita game means it won't win Game Of The Year.

Games websites have spent all year telling us that the Vita is shit and has no future and that iOS games are the future. They're not going to give GOTY to a Vita game :p

The VGAs (I know :lol the VGAs) don't even have P4G listed in best Mobile/Handheld GOTY, but they have 3 other Vita games listed...

Dumbasses.

I really don't understand why everyone wants the Vita to fail so badly. It's not even like it has no games, it has more than the 3DS is currently offering and you never hear a peep about that handheld.

Just enter any vita is doomed game thread and you'll see tons of people claiming the vast amount of 3DS games, while Vita doesnt have a single good game.

I read that a LOT.

I honestly have no idea where the hell the "no games" thing started. As far as i'm concerned, the thing has never had what i would class as "no good games".

The PS3's launch - now there's a console that had no good games for a year. Don't get me wrong, i loved it... but i bought about 4 games in its first year.

The Vita, i've bought about 14 full games in its first year and there are more that i want but can't afford. It's ridiculous. I have no idea how anyone can say it has no games.

I've been a 3DS owner since launch and I can effectively say that is bullshit. The Vita's launch had better games available than the 3DS's first 8 months on the market.

Yeah, the vita has many issues but certainly not the amount of good games. Trying to fight that for a while now, but its almost futile.

Earlier, I talked to a guy on Steam. Told him I bought a Vita on Cyber Monday.

He: "Why the hell did you do that?"
Me: "Its an awesome device!"
He: "Eh.. it doesnt have any games. I love my 3DS though. Only bought Mario 3D and MGS3D though, and MGS3 runs like shit :/ Hopefully there will be releases of more games I like."
Me: "..."

Not lying. And THEN I get to put up with guys on GAF saying "No one actually MEANS it doesnt have any games. No one is believing that."

Suuuure, buddy.
