So, are you guys totally ignoring the mods and keeping the megathread alive despite the 48 hour requirement, or is someone going to make the thread? Because if you guys are keeping the megathread alive, I'm totally cool with that.
there was never a time limit

Aeana said to have it up ASAP and acknowledged the fact that Noi was working on it.

There was no "requirement". They just want the Feb thread to go up ASAP.
 
I think the One Piece case is unfortunate, but remember that this is the same company that still charges $40 for Tekken 6 and Soul Calibur on NA PSN. Money doesn't seem to be their priority.

Though a part of me does sense that they're laying the groundwork for a One Piece Pirate Warriors+ ala DOA5+ (and a handful of other latecomer ports) in the West. It'll be the same game with an art gallery or something patched in (to both versions, the PS3 one getting the update simultaneously with the Vita release).

I really can't wait for Sly. I played it at Pax Prime (Vita version, naturally) and thought it was terrific. I was so bummed when they delayed it. Now add the price drop to it and I couldn't be more excited.

No, that's dumb, this whole thing of them not bringing the Vita version over is dumb because it basically would take no time and budget to bring the game to English Vita audiences.
 
Hey guys! Long time lurker but finally decided to sign up for an account and got it validated! So first post obviously belongs to vitaGAF.

Anyways, I've had my Vita since day -7 (yes i bought the first ed bundle) and I've loved it everyday since!

PSN: ricen-beans

Also I have two questions:
1. Where's Carl? (I need him to ask futurelab why Velocity Vita won't have a plat)
2. What's gonna happen to this thread once it gets too big? New thread? Or will we have to hang out in the community section??

Don't forget to buy Sly in a few weeks!

Welcome, fellow FEB buyer!

Carl is banned, but I'm sure he'll be back soon.

The thread will be moving to a monthly format starting within the next couple of days so make sure you subscribed to those threads!

Thanks for the heads up! Too bad about Carl but I'm sure he'll be back soon.

More subscription management..

I wonder what those people under non-disclosure had to say about sly 4 that was apparently bad..guess EU has a while to sit and read opinions anyway :(

Why even bother with monthly threads when this megathread only lasts 2 months anyways?

That's what I thought was funny, but oh well. Just means it won't be a big difference for us, BUT it will be nice to have an always-updated OP with that month's releases.

My point was that with a simultaneous release, the Vita release would be eaten alive. But stagger them and then the potential for double dippers goes way up.

Would anyone have paid any attention to portable EDF3 if it had been released simultaneously with the HD console version? Otherwise you have a Madden on Wii situation.

Though I guess you may be right. Late, vaguely milking-esque ports from the likes of Atlus, Team Ninja, and Sandlot might be a consequence of their dev's small size rather than shrewd manipulation of the hardcore - Namco has no such resource limitations.

Hey, same here! The lack of Vita owners on the other forum I post on drove me to sign up. This is the only place on the internet that actually cares about the Vita, it seems. I appreciate all the posters in here for pumping out a constant supply of news and feedback.

Opinions I've wanted to post but haven't been able to:

  1. Mutant Blobs Attack is not for me. The top-down levels stopped me from finishing the game. Girlfriend loved it, though.
  2. I'm 90 hours into P4G and I don't want it to end. My only complaint is that normal mode is ridiculously easy, and I haven't done any grinding.
  3. Gravity Rush is one of my favorite games of 2012. Every Vita needs this on it.
  4. Unit 13 is underappreciated. Fun little shooter, and perfect for the platform.
  5. Stranger's Wrath is a classic, and the Vita iteration may be my favorite. Can't wait for that patch, though.
  6. I couldn't go without the Hori screen protector and grip. The Vita murders my hands without the grip, and smudges are never an issue with the screen protector. I fucking love Hori.

I'll stop myself there. I've bought over 30 games for my Vita so far. This would be a monster post if I tried to give impressions of all of them.

Add me if you have room and want to play EDF, Sonic Racing, PSAS, MK, HSG, or Unit 13. I'm JBourne37 on PSN. I'm not actually 37, I just really liked Clerks when I made my first online ID.

Put about an hour into Technika Tune tonight. I've opted to switch to front touch only. I've also given up trying to find a way to play this game any other way besides setting it on the table.

That being said, Lupin by Kara won't leave my head ever. It's as catchy as Blythe for me, and that's saying something.

E: The more I think about it, the more impressed I am that they localized this game, especially with the relatively heavy K-pop soundtrack.

Good afternoon Vita-GAF peoples.

I have screen protectors (one as a spare) for my Vita and I am about to attempt an application of it. What is the best way to do so? They are hori ones with some matte finish. Ive applied them before on 3DS, with pretty good success (one bit of dust >.< ) but if there are any pro-tips for a flawless application, I'd love to know.

I've heard that spraying a very light mist of water can help, since you use a card to push the air/bubbles out from under the screen, and this technique works well for me when applying decals to windows (once, it's not my job but the technique is great for that situation).

So yeah, tips welcome. :)
 
Do it in the bathroom after you've had a hot shower. The moisture in the air stops the dust from and lint from hanging in the air. It's best not to have any exhaust fans as it can stir up particles that you don't want on the screen.

The only other tip is to be patient and follow the instructions; of the latter I'm certain you would have done, anyway :)
 
That's what I thought was funny, but oh well. Just means it won't be a big difference for us, BUT it will be nice to have an always-updated OP with that month's releases.

At least we won't have to bother with putting some weird info in OP to make it look like it isn't megathread for talking about everything ;)

I just figured out you can tap Kat

I really need to read past the first thought in a post lol
as for the screen protector my simple way of doing it is make my wife do it lol. She managed to get the persona skin mostly on fine, just slightly off center because the skin doesn't actually aline with the end of the vita.

as for gravity rush, it was one of the games I got the vita for.... I need to finish persona 3 and get to it already.

Just re-watched Whisper of the Heart today and hearing the soundtrack again made me want to play Gravity Rush. My first impression of the game's demo was how Ghibli-esque the music and visuals of the game felt.

Good thing I got it on plus.

the vita version of pirate warriors 2 is not coming out of japan,but NA and EU branches of Namco both confirmed they weren't releasing it.

This really, really bums me out.

a) Because I really wanted the game on my Vita

b) This is endemic of the larger problem that Vita support is fucking dire.

Agreed 100%. Considering that the JP Vita version will launch along with PS3 version. Just ask JAW what version of Stanger's Wrath sold more. I've hit Namco Bandai Games on twitter. I don't expect a response unless more people speak out. It's how Project X Zone came to the US ...

Let me show you through these halls, my friend, where treasures of indie gaming await...
Just read the mod comments about the monthly threads. I am sure they will now take care of people posting nonsensical comments on both sides. *nods*

Could someone link me the current Announced Vita games thread please?

That's what I thought was funny, but oh well. Just means it won't be a big difference for us, BUT it will be nice to have an always-updated OP with that month's releases.

Thats going to be neat indeed. Oh and I am also glad we get monthly threads now to make our discussions more approachable since we got so few new Vita members in the last few weeks! Finally some new people can come in :) Our discussions here sure have been very daunting and frightening.

Ahahahahaha! anyways I asked Carl,he's been banned for a week.

Why are you laughing? I am sure they will. Write them the names of the dozens or so users each day(in each doom thread) plus an explanatory essay (for each) on what they did wrong and they will of course work on taking care of them individually.

Its going to be glorious.
