Top of the page recommendation: hand over your Vitamuffin card if you still don't own P4G after this week's sale.

I always wanted to say this, the worst nickname of all time.

every time someone of you guys wrote it I just want to poke my eyes and squish them with my head,seriously.


but yeah, buy P4G.

Micro managing my 32gb. Feelsbadman.

Good thing I got P4G retail. Hoping it comes in my mailbox today.

this actually happens? I mean package inside a mailbox? (for anything that don't require a signature)

the postman put my regular packages either on the doorstep or next to my car and I used to be a close friend (well back in the high school) with the dude.

All my vita games I have ordered online have always fit into my mailbox and would be in there waiting for me.

lol I meant that figuratively, but yeah its actually happened to me a few times when I ordered games through amazon. Kinda weird I don't think they are allowed to touch mailboxes (?), but they did anyways since the game package is small.
 
Trying to finish p3p tonight before I get p4g tomorrow

so I'm fighting the last shadow that has the three statues and I get what I'm doing but it seems like it will take forever, I'm doing hardly any damage to him. Am I missing something?
 
your wallet wants a diet so it can lose some weight, duh. so be nice to it

True my wallet does need to not have as much money/temptation in it. Where'd you go ;(

yeah you're better off playing those first two

I really keep thinking EDF looks like mindless fun though. I just have too many damn RPGs on my hand, with each game being at least 20-40 hours long I just don't have time these days.. after I finally finish replaying Suikoden 1 I think I'm going to finally force myself to play through Persona 4. I really enjoy the game, I just get scared of getting obsessed with it.

Nobody panic, Open Me! is coming to NA.
...later this year.

Still don't understand why it takes months and months and months for these apps to come into other territories.

I don't know whether this will frustrate or delight you, but if I remember right, from that description you could in fact be very far away from the end game... better brew up a pot of coffee, it's gonna be a long night!

just noticed this in the european covers thread

so of all games in the freaking world,SCE decided to publish (and most likely port with their own money since the original developer are dead and Disney don't care) this game to Vita? really?

Yeah, it is completely puzzling. I would have preferred almost any other game ever.

It has to be part of some sort of deal between Sony and Disney; seems so weird that they'd just do this on a whim.

Oh boy. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. If it makes you feel better I think most people thought that was the end of the game.

Maybe some crazy idea from House to get Disney crap in his Wonderbook.

I think it's a hopeless situation, Vita got Allan Becker who love console and turned SCE Japan Studio into console only studio after been handheld supporter mostly and got Yoshida who love to green lit shitty games no one care about and finally got House on SCE who..well always made horrible decisions, poor Vita(and poor Sony's money).
 
People who told me its not the end, thanks but what about the shadow? I played for like. 40 mins and took off half it's health before pausing.

I feel like I'm missing something

"Kids" games = Parent sales. I would imagine Vita doesn't sell too well with parents given it's mostly mature/hardcore catalogue.

I guess SCE don't really know the audience for Vita(seeing what kind of games and port SCEA/SCEE put on Vita and also their ads).
 
The release of Totori Plus has made me really interested in a Vita, but I'm waiting for the price cut, cheaper memories, and the new model(hdmi plz)


Do you guys think any of that will happen soon? :(

You can buy a modded Vita with hdmi-out if you're so inclined. The price cut has already happened and then some, the Lego bundle was a Vita + memory card + game for $200. Doubt you'll see a remodel or a better deal than that anytime soon. Alternatively the 3G Vitas have been on sale at Sony stores for $200.

I personally went for picking up a used (new condition) Vita and a $12 4GB card, and going all physical.

Anyone playing Urban Trials here? The first level in the last mission section (the level is called "hardwired" or something), how do you get the money bag right in the begining? The floor falls down and it is seems impossible to get under there.

hmmm. eh.. i though the cloud saving is automatic.. :/
where's the button!

It is automatic with PS+ (happens in the middle of the night assuming you have that option enabled). The only exception I found was Little Big Planet. The save is like 64 megs so I guess they disabled it for that reason. When I restored my Vita saves from the cloud save it overwrote my LBP save with an ancient one I sent manually when I first got PS+ :/

edit: the person you're quoting I guess is saying you should send the save manually (from content manager) because it wouldn't be in the cloud save at that point if you delete the game right away after finishing it (the automatic upload potentially wouldn't happen for many hours)

1) There's a Wii version already so a port would be very easy and cheap;

2) Sony will likely try to expand the Vita's audience this Fall with a cheaper Vita and more family friendly/kids games.

3) Given 2 needs as many games as possible to be successful, refer to 1.

This is sort of off-topic, but any Vitabros or Vitacats who have a Wii U should send me a friend request (NNID is RipVanWinkle). I've had the thing since day 1 but I am only just now using it SOMEWHAT regularly. I know a few of you have one but I can't remember who. I do have Kyon on my list, though.

The game bombed hard on all platforms tho,and it is not a good game,stupid Sony should've talked with Disney about Disney Infinity on Vita(there is a Wii and 3DS version for this), or if they have money to burn search for other family friendly games (good ones) from other companies.

there is no way to defend this really since the game itself is a bad and a flop, it's a stupid decision and a waste of money for Sony.
 
I am not to keen on Nun Attack, I feel like it wants me to grind earlier levels to upgrade, which I am not interested in doing and levels are broken into many parts and failing in any of them causes you to restart the whole thing. Also combat is wearing a little thin. But whatever it is $3, and there is a decent game still there. It just feels like some remenants of the microtransactions model of the android version is still affect the vita version, except now your only recourse is to grind rather than pay.

Edit: also I have 3 bullet (starred) every level so far up until 4 levels into world 2 and still I think the money flow is too light. Sorry LorneHg, but constructive criticism is good criticism.

Curious, why is that?

Two reasons for me personally: For sitting it on my bed desk for use as an alarm clock (although I might give up on it as I've been getting that 'Time's Up' glitch), and for holding up when I want to play games solely using touch controls.

Though admittedly I didn't want to pay $20 for a dock, so I've been using the plastic stand you get with deluxe WiiUs. Works very nicely.

I'm secretly hoping.. it won't be straight port... here's hoping they would fix some issues and mix the Vita ver. the definitive one :p

Congrats

buy Persona 4 Golden,Dokuro,Gravity Rush and Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure.

also get the official stand(really helpful).

ehhh.. what about the official stand haha
