heh.

I dunno, if enough GAF'ers get into it I might buy it. But card games man.

People should. Its really a fun game. Whats your beef with card games usually? I know most people usually give up when they are tasked with optimizing/building their own card decks, which is mostly absent here since you only unlock and add to your existing stack of cards and dont get punished for it too harshly.
 
I'm going to Europe for a month in January: do I bring my Vita or not? Of course I'm not going to have time for it while I"m actually there, but it'd be nice to have during the flight there and back. I am worried about it breaking, however...

I <3 Vita ;_;
 
As stated before here a bit back I can also confirm that ZANAC x ZANAC works on vita if you transfer it from a PS3.

Also the game is way more fun than I expected so big thanks to the people who raved about it on gaf that caused me to buy it yesterday.

It's not a beef per se, more like a "well, I never got into physical card games" thing.

Actually building and optimizing would probably be the most interesting thing to me. Plus it has Elena cards. I'm going to assume all Elena cards win at everything.

Sure you do!

If you're on a plane for a few hours then it's a good way to get some time out of it. And then when you're not using it, just make sure it's safe and secure.

Yeah, its missing the deck management aspect a bit. You can still finetune stuff as you can tell which faction cards to use or not use. But the fortune and resource cards are hardlocked. If you have a remote interest in card games, its definitely worth a buy though for $5. Its a well done Vita card game with dozens of hours of SP gameplay plus well integrated MP features... I mean... BUY IT. :p

I'd gift out a few copies if I could actually. Annoys me to no end that PSN still doesnt allow gifting.

It's tempting, mostly because I love Uncharted. However if I were to buy it, it'd mean I'd want to finish U:GA.. and that means less Persona 4.

What a tough world. :(

For the SP you dont need to finish UC and if you want some MP matches, I came up with a tiered system that would allow you to play against others on the same "unlock" level. See post 2 of the Uncarded OT.

That way people dont necessarily NEED to play/play through Uncharted to get MP (and SP of course too) enjoyment out of Uncarded.

I saw that, but Toma, I'm stupid competitive. :D

Haha, well then ;)
For me this is actually a reason to finally play through Uncharted. Shouldnt take too long either I guess (not 100%ing for now)

Why wouldn't you? I did last summer and just kept it in my front backpack pocket naked. Just make sure to buy a backup battery, as many flights don't have power/power that works.

Also, I only went digital which made for one less thing to worry about.

Sup vita bros. Got my white vita yesterday, updated firmware, put the Chrono trigger theme from the OP on there. got my free PS+ and put in my code for all star rumble (didn't download it). I did Downloaded FF tactics (slowdown is not bothering me at all), and I played some Assassin's Creed.

First impressions/thoughts/comments are:

I need a bigger memory card.
It's a cool piece of kit.
My left hand fell asleep while playing.
I don't know how I feel about Assassin's Creed...
I love the screen, like holy crap.

Isn't it like whole reason to atually own and play handheld ? :)

I'm just paranoid because I'll be dropping 90-fucking-dollars today on a memory card. Let's hope the Sony travel case is sufficient protection.

And Virgin has outlets on the plane, so that'll be quite wonderful.

I still don't understand how people are cramping up while playing, I should take a shot of how I hold my Vita for my other Vitabros so we stop having injuries.

About AC3: Lib, push through the first few tutorial levels and you'll start getting why I call this game the second best AC game... if not for the glitches. :(

I ordered Hori Grips to help with the terrible ergonomics of the system. It just sucks they are back ordered. I tried the PDP grips at best buy and the difference was night and day in comfort. Just to many bad reviews of the PDP grip triggers.

Congrats

I'd say get 16GB if you don't want to go DD only,32GB if DD only.
You might want to get a grip, like PDP grip or the Hori one.
well it's flawed but AC3:L is better than AC3..that something.

and buy Persona 4 Golden.

SCEE is starting to bundle memory cards with a downloadable game:

Imo if true this needs a tread(not necessarily for celebrating vita, but for the news itself at least)

Shovelware wasn't counted. Don't make a thread for it, 'cause you're going to get a tonne of trolls.

My girlfriend bought me a grip for my birthday - but i haven't used it. I feel awful about it, but it's so much more comfortable naked. Makes my hands hurt with a grip

Really good idea, actually. Adds more value to the memory cards, at least.

guess we know which games will be ps+ games for the next few months :p (jk... i hope)

anyways If NA gets some bundles like that and they come out at about the price of the cards anyways it would help me move towards getting a bigger card

Smart idea to bundle them I think. Their chosen games could do with a boost, too, so it works out.

I've used my Vita for extensive gaming sessions and not once had a problem with my hands. I have a very gentle grip, just using the fingertips.

Congrats! Yes, you will definitely need a bigger memory card.

And listen to Toto this one time, he's right about P4G.


.

*high five*

and I'm always right. :p

That a very nice idea actually.

with this and SS double pack...that like two good ideas from SCE in one week.

something is completely off about this.

which one was that? I heard sometimes depend on your hands size (like Nyko power grip for people with big hands,PDP trigger grip for the small hands).

Excellant job SCEE.

Btw guys - When Vikings Attack or Sine Mora?

Leaning towards Sine Mora - bit disappointed with S&S RT being taken off and also hearing about some of the issues (framerate dips and d-pad stuff)..consoling time

If you somewhat like Shmups, Sine Mora. Easy decision. Awesome looking, fun and challenging shmup with lots of content. The FPS dips are a bit annoying but not necessarily game breaking (I've beaten the main game on the hardest setting). No clue what you mean with d-pad stuff.

Sounds good, ok thanks Toma..bought

d-pad stuff was what TimmiT said about S&S racing transformed not sine mora - glad the framerate isn't too bad...hopefully!

I used to get bad cramping but it stopped after a while for some reason. I think it might have something to with having a more loose grip. In some games I will catch myself holding the controls very firm not unlike when I grit my teeth sometimes when playing multiplayer games online then get a headache within a few hours. Same thing with the hands hurting.

If your hands are beyond a certain size they can't be as at rest which could explain the difference in fatigue and why grips help but changing how tense you are when playing could also help.

^ Even the ports are suited to vita really well usually.

Think it was just one from GAME (UK shop).

It's the same style as the one I've been using...my vita never leaves (even when charging - carved a hole in the lock lol). Different hands/comfort maybe.

Isn't that the price of most of those games on the Store? lol

Ah well, the 16gb price rose a bit since the last time I checked.

Its now base (42,99&#8364;) vs pack-in (49,99&#8364;), but yeah. Not much of a saving.

Sorry :(

frame dips

..can't confirm it myself..

hmm, i see. and quite bummer they pulled it from the psn store. Was hoping of getting it early and not having to wait 2 more days.
Now, i'm not sure if the frame dips are game breaking or not, guess i'll won't buy it on lauch date and i'll wait for some reviews or comments from SUMO.

well console versions got some framerate dips here and there too,if it's the same thing then it's will be fine I think.

^ the way he said it put me off and gave me flashbacks of playing modnation and getting that annoyance..do not want. Hopefully it's not actually like that - guess we have a few days to find out.

No bundle for 32 GB :(

"If you are willing to pay the 32GB prices, you have enough games already" ;)
