How are you Vitabros getting Tearaway?
I'm a little conflicted on whether I should go retail or digital. Digital's selling an already cheap game cheaper than retail and I'd get it a little before it releases here, but EB Games seems to be offering both pre-order DLC pacts there if you buy it and I do love my retail games.
Hopefully it pops up for you sometime, it would suck to have to go through all that and not have the trophy unlock

I had a similar situation where the trophy notification for beating all envy avalon pacts didn't pop up tonight but when I went to my trophy list it was unlocked.

What this is?
I'll go retail, cute blue box > digital 01010101
It'll save space on my memory card and I can sell it if the game is bad.
just the best PSP game ever.

I'll be buying this game digitally, buying Vita games in retail just feels so wrong. Plus it should (hopefully) be a few dollars cheaper digitally.
i'm getting Tearaway digital with my $10 off
may have to wait, though... want to dig into SS a bunch first
i think Dangan Ronpa will be my first physical game. digital is the way to go 99% of the time, have all games on hand, super convenient to buy. but since i got my Ace Attorney trilogy back in the day, i have wanted a new VN series to collect.

with Vita small and overpriced memory cards and PSN prices and slow ass Content Manager with it's lack of good and friendly backup options retail actually feel like the only sane way to buy Vita games.

i'm buying digitally, as my library is 100% digital for vita.
had it pre-ordered retail, but cancelled it - waiting for it to open pre-order on SEN.
Amazon, so retail. For 24 euros (free shipment day one if I preorder) I can go wrong with it. Plus it's the kind of game whose case I want to see when I look at my filled with books / games (more books than games) shelves

Retail, they're offering both the DLC packs and a keyring in Australia for preordering retail =D
And I'm a sucker for being able to show off my stack of little blue boxes, since I didn't really have the chance for previous consoles (didn't have much money to buy games)
1. I understood that-
her and Clover were frozen so that they could be brought into the future where young Sigma was residing in old Sigma's body.
2. Already knew this, if you haven't played the previous game you aren't missing too much though.
3. Yep, a few easter eggs, but they aren't anything too special and are usually mostly explained in VLR.
4. True, though I would hardly call that VITAL.
5. The third game will take place between the first and third, but there's no guarantee that we'll see those characters in it- that's more an assumption on your part than anything. I feel that the latter is more likely than the former, due to their role in each of the games so far.
6. Okay, but that doesn't mean it won't be fully explained in the next game, and understandable without a knowledge of the first game.
7. We still don't know how it'll be executed, so it could be done in a non-confusing way.
as for Alice, I'm not exactly confused about her, just confused about All-Ice- I know that she was in the true ending of 999 dressed up like All-Ice as an undercover agent, but she states that her car broke down before she could get anywhere, so she isn't All-Ice unless she was lying. Or she is, but the connection hasn't been established yet, or I really just missed something. Was All-Ice all just a setup to get Alice into the second nonary game, and All-Ice didn't really exist? Apparently you and BlueMaxima both know something that seemingly nobody else on the internet knows
Ok you like gurumin and i believe you when you say that it's a very good game, but stop with this hyperbole!
We are lucky that folklore is for ps3, if it was for psp/vita i bet he would spam us with "the best psp/vita game".
Long time ago i played gurumin for a pair of hours and while it seemed to be a good game it was not "just the best psp game ever" imo.
I tried folklore demo and while i liked the atmosphere, the characters etc i didn't like the gameplay.
Yes i said it.

I still haven't bought Spelunky on any Platform...
Should i get the Vita version then? Those of you that finished it, are the performance issues reason enough to grab the Steam version instead or is it totally playable and not nearly as annoying as some people have claimed?

Yeah, on PS4 and Vita!
There are far creepier games than Hatsune Miku that have received a North American release. AFAIK the game's are pretty innocent.
Age does matter when discussing a easily importable game on a region free platform. The Project Diva fanbase is niche, and given it's a long-running series that had never seen a localization prior to F it's safe to say they're familiar with importing games. Presumably a lot of people that wanted to play it already have.
I'm not criticizing the game's quality, but its sales potential. You're marketing this game to an audience that will primarily comprise of people that already own it on PS3, or worse off own the PS3 release, and imported the Vita one.
Maybe they will - PS4 is at Blizzcon, but maybe more as a "This is out soon!" sort of thing.
I can hope though - that Uncharted card game was poo
Just wait until Shinovi Versus. You thought Dragon's Crown was bad? We haven't seen anything yet.
Valhalla Knights 3 exists too.
I'm calm, sorry if it wasn't clear but i wanted to be ironic in the spam part of the post, i guess i have failed... :\
How bad is that? My only exposure to Valhalla Knights is like the first 10 minutes of VK1 so I don't know squat lol.

Gugurmin is an action adventure game in similar vein to Megaman Legends.
The humor and dialog is very good to boot.
No, it's just that I wouldn't be lugging around headphones with my already cumbersome to travel with Vita and I certainly won't play it over speaker!
Box art you'll be missing out on!

I agree that it's a good game
i just don't think that it's the best psp game ever.Wolfgunblood Garopa

The only creepy thing are those voices. I had a friend that loved them not too long ago and I only liked some of the covers (sung by actual people) she showed me.
I can stand vocaloid, but it's not the kind of thing that I'd like to listen. If the game is fun and not very expensive I may bite.
A Tearaway Keyring? I want it.
Does someone know if Amazon.es gives those preorder DLCs?

How is MotoGP 13 on Vita? Anyone got it?
I'm actually struggling with this for every game.
All the retail titles I have so far have just been from PS+. I also recently ordered a 64 GB card. Sometimes I think of going all digital, but there's something about a tangible game that entices me.
I need to decide quick! I want to buy Killzone Mercenary, Tearaway, and Dragon's Crown
reposting my post from july thread
""""so yeah, MotoGP 13 is actually good, R for acceleration is kinda weird but it's not a deal breaker, handling and weight shifting is pretty damn solid, physics is solid , the port is good, exceeded my expectations both graphically and performance wise (30 fps, don't struggle much) and is fully featured (GP, Championship, Career, multiplayer) I'm not sure if drivers or teams are missing since I don't follow the MotoGP like the rest of the world, no one care about motorbike racing,and it's is still a very very difficult game for new comers but yeah... the port is good."""
What if Snake is brother Left? We don't know. In a sense since ZE3 is not out yet we can't confirm for sure that this evidence is vital, but considering how intertwined 999 is with VLR and the setting for the 3rd game there's no reason to think it won't be relevant.
You absolutely are.
Pretty much everyone in the VLR OT and myself included were going FFFFFFFFFFFFFF when we found out. Even JSchreier had the same reaction when he hit that point http://kotaku.com/5954173/one-warning-for-anyone-who-plans-to-play-virtues-last-reward
If it's fully explained in the next game, it'll probably be about as in-depth as VLR's explanations about 999, which is to say not much at all.
VLR has returning characters/story from 999 so by this logic ZE3 won't technically require having played VLR either. And you'd be right, because these games have to sell as standalone products to the general public so they are self-contained to a certain extent. You can enjoy VLR by itself as a first timer to the series because some explanations are provided. But
as the 999/VLR situation has already shown, you will be missing out on twists and reveals by doing so, and whether you like it or not the entire story is on one continuous "timeline" (loosely in this sense because of the nature of the plot). The 3 games are one whole story with the overall FTS plot having been revealed in VLR (though we don't even know that for sure thanks to Uchikoshi).
It's like watching the LotR or Harry Potter movies (not books) and a short summary of the previous movie's events are given in each movie or right before each previous-work-referring plot point/twist. They would still be entertaining on their own overall as a movie, but anyone would recommend watching the entire series. Although you could technically play each one individually, if a VLR-dependent plot twist (like Junpei -> Tenmyouji) happens in ZE3, it'll lack impact as it did for anyone who played VLR standalone because the entire twist from the setup to the reveal has to be explained to them in a short dialogue.
I'm not necessarily arguing that someone straight up won't understand VLR without playing 999. I'm saying it's necessary in the overall story arch because getting the previous game's story/setups through a short explanation in the next game is incredibly insufficient to the entire plot and as an experience.

Regarding ALL-ICE
, Alice may have been lying, but that's exactly the kind of plot twist and unanswered question that would be carried into ZE3. But someone playing ZE3 without playing 999 and VLR would likely feel the final explanation to be contrived since the entire plot surrounding her would have to be summarized in the game.
Preordered it through the Future Shop E3 deal thingy way back, got it for $26.99. No idea if FS includes a DLC bonus though.
Those PlayStation Vita ear buds fold up and fit quite nicely in my Vita case (the removable one from the Vita Pull 'N Go Folio). They fit right on top after I put in the Vita and then I can close the case's cover over them. Head phones are pretty much a requirement if you plan to do much gaming on the go like or on planes or whatnot. I'd be too afraid that I'd disturb those around me without them.
I picked up Diva F for the PS3 but wanted it for the Vita....I'll be grabbing this day one (would be nice to have a physical release though)

Hearthstone on Vita would ruin me... crossplay w/ PS4 of course, to keep the player pool big.
was the beta that good?
I might get it for my Nvidia Shield if there is an android version.
I think it's a costume set for either Tearaway or Littlebigplanet. Not sure which.
edit-According to their website you get a wallpaper, psn avatars,ost, in game pig skin, and the LBP costumes.
The usual concerns about DRMed downloads apply.

Still waiting on Amazing Spiderman Vita gameplay....
I want it, but need to see it in action to finalize whether its a purchase.
Injustice Vita releases Tuesday, PS4 on Friday and Tearaway, the following Tuesday. Stoked!

I actually only played it for a week or so and got tired of grinding hard for gold w/o paying... I don't like that there's no free alternative to arena mode with random deck survival, but it's just something I know I would play more with handheld convenience. I wouldn't even care that I was on a slow treadmill.
I do agree with you and BlueMaxima to a certain extent that playing 999 first enhances VLR, but I just don't feel that it's vital- I do get what you guys are trying to say though (I feel like my The Hobbit comparison works best, because the Hobbit is part of the setup for LoTR- though an issue with it is some of the major connections between the two aren't fully explained until The Silmarillion). If I hadn't played 999, then I would've missed out on the
Alice/All-Ice confusion (which for some reason I feel may be brought up again in the third game) among other things
Digital so I can use the $10 bucks from the october deal.
They said it would come by november 8th, so it better come today or I will be angry.

Quoting you from 32 pages ago to thank you big time. My fiancee found a Big W with about a dozen vitas in stock yesterday, then woke up at 5:30 to be first through the door to secure one for me this morning. Now to find a memory card and start spelunking!

Has anyone gotten a memory stick refurbished from Gamestop? Or is it just better to pay the extra for the new stick?
