I think I'm a good Vita owner now. Games missing are Rayman Legends and MLB 12. I'm going to pick up Sly 4 tomorrow too. Now... I'm very much so fishing for an answer, but do I get a second holding case? Or do I trim down my offering?

You send me the games you no longer want.
How many games do you really need on the go? I say no unless you get a good price
 
Does anybody have some personal impressions on those Dragon Fantasy games?

They look like they could be right up my alley (old school RPGs), but they also look like they could be creepy meme/reference obsessed as well.

Extended family member gave me Indigo giftcards for Christmas. So of course I spent them on Killzone: Mercenary instead of books.
Okay, I bought one book.
Hopefully I can join in on some GAF sessions when it arrives :D.

Well, basically you folks' playing hours is my working/office hours, and my resting/playing hours are you folks' working/office hours :(

Sorry you missed out :(.

I've only played Book I. There's some good humour packed in there, but I found the overall experience to be marred by excessive grinding and random encounters. I've heard Book II is better.

Woah! 24 slots! Hmmmmm... If only cards weren't so high priced. I would have gone digital a long time ago.

I'm not against that. Maybe next Christmas.

Hell, I'm practically a collector at this point. I can't even play all of the games... What am I doing with my
money/
life?

Could you expand on the style of humor in the game?

Sure. I haven't played it in a while but I'll say what I remember. It was a mix of some witty jokes and the humour/reference stuff you mentioned you didn't like. For example, there was a joke about how playing a game with buttons is better than just a touchscreen. And a "short" short story that was "There once was a hero who went to fight monsters. He beat the monster. The End."

Edit: Here's one of the examples I've mentioned:


I don't recall there being too many references to other games (there might have been an "it's dangerous to go alone" joke). If you can, watch some gameplay on Youtube. The first 15 to 30 minutes should give you an idea of what you'd be in for. The style of humour is pretty consistent through what I've played.
 
I wish the browser didn't clear tabs so I can alt tab to guides while playing.

Those FFX HD screens seems to be slightly subnative. Makes me wish they also ported the KH collections.

I pronounce it at sell-seta. Not sure what's the real one.

Those FFX pics look great but Tidus does not. He looks like a pile of shit and I want the old Tidus back.

Digimon pics looks so beautiful. Pretty excited.

The new model is not great, but the original wasn't good as well. One of the things I remember from the game is that the in game models look completely different from the prerendered sequences.

I haven't beaten Book II, but I really enjoyed Book I. And I played it prior to the patches that fixed things like the hit rate, adding a run button, etc.

Book II is better so far. The references are out of the way from memory. ie; reading books, talking to random NPCs. For the most part at least. The Community reference made me pleased.
 
So Vitabros, how can I see what the actual battery percentage remaining on my Vita is? No Battery option appears in Settings, so all I get is the tiny indicator in the top right corner of the home screen?

I already know I can see it if I run the Vita's PSP emulator, oddly enough. This is inconvenient when I have a Vita game running though.

We need hands on impression for FFX as the screens are too compressed to tell if native res or not! Maybe they went with sub native with some AA as jaggies are a bit low.

As long as its does not look like persona4g I am ok with it.

From what I've read in this thread it seems to be crisp and has a good frame rate. The first loading is considerably long but after that it's smooth sailing.

The issues I have are no OST options, no skippable cutscenes, and Yuna and Tidus textures.

Very detailed impressions (with screenshots) of various aspects of the Vita version of FFX.

I'm sure it's thread-worthy but I'm on mobile and it 5am here and I'm about to collapse.

http://www.gamespot.com/forums/game...-hd-remaster-vita-out-now-impressio-31005418/

Overall, the port is solid, looks great and runs at 30fps for the most part. It also makes some clever (and minimal) use of the touchscreen. SE has also done some work specific to the Vita version (like larger text for example to make sure everything is more readable/playable.

Honestly I'm a pleasantly surprised SE didn't just take the cheap/easy road with the Vita version.

Is anyone else surprised that Sony has yet to release any first party wallpapers and lockscreens on PSN? I mean, PSP still gets wallpapers for whatever reason. Yet...

I mean, I'd love to see more wallpapers actually designed to look good as a lockscreen or wallpaper on Vita... like these;


Maybe 'surprised' isn't really the word, but you get the idea. Seems like a no brainer. People buy frivolous things all the time... and it's hard to get an image to look good on the Vita. And some don't work practically. Why have a wallpaper if it's blocked? :\

I don't know. Seems like a low cost, low risk thing to do. More exposure for games is hardly going to be a negative. Not like they put very many trailers up as is. And maybe I'm in the minority, but I'm lazy enough to spend a few bucks here and there on some good wallpapers/themes/lockscreen images. Especially for games like Tearaway (I downloaded the wallpaper sized for Vita and it looks lame on Vita. :\ ) And at this point I'd still buy anything Gravity Rush.

So I've played flOw for more than two minutes now. I think I kinda overreacted. It may actually be native res, but it has a lot of aliasing. Doesn't help that I held it really close to my face when I first played it (I tend to do that with tilt only games for some reason...). I dunno though. PSP version definitely doesn't look anywhere near as good. Antialiasing would've been nice though.

Yay! After much deliberation I choose... Destruction Derby.

Thanks, I feel like a lucky guy.
PM'd. Now post in this thread so people don't think I'm a sham like that xenoblade guy :lol

Now that he chose Destruction Derby, wouldn't it be nice to give me Twisted Metal?

I bet it would be nice if you got it
I'm avoiding giving it to you on purpose














Maybe you'll get it. If I deem you worthy

Checking in, finally a Vitabro. This thing is so sexy I'm afraid of accidentally dropping it and damaging the screen. Anyone know where I can get a good case?

Send selfies


For real



Tell me a great joke within 7 minutes of this post and I'll give it to you RIGHT NOW

NSFW

Marie was raped by a man yesterday evening and is now being lectured by her mother.

Mother: Didn't I tell you to say "Don't!" if a rapist tries to touch your breasts?
Marie: But I did say it!
Mother: But did you say "Stop!" when he touched your genitals?
Marie: Of course I did!
Mother: Then why didn't anyone help you if you screamed loudly enough?
Marie: I don't know either but the rapist touched both my breast and my genitals multiple times so I screamed "Don't stop! Don't stop! Don't stop!"
Mother: *Facepalm*

Sorry, that was all I could think of for the moment.

Thanks man. I really love the TM series since I was a child. A late Christmas gift I must say. :D

What's the deal with that Xenoblade guy?

Wallpapers with circles on them to place bubbles never look right to me because the bubbles on Vita moves around :( Is there any way to keep them locked and firm so that they can fit wallpapers with circles properly?

Nope. Most people assume its to prevent burn in, although the black bar at the top still doesn't move.

Twisted Metal 3 >>> TM2...

Unpopular opinion.

Licensing is probably why that's not on PSN. Which makes me sad.

I never really played one so my order is
2>4>3

I bet most of you either didn't know or forgot this existed

I can't believe that we still can't turn off the black bar in the browser. Scared whenever I use it for long periods of time (which is often) that I'll get burn in

Not sure about other ones, but the Lightning one I use the bubbles move around inside the circle. So it's not a big deal to me.

I wish we could stop them from moving. Though, I'd prefer just doing away with the bubble UI all together. Then maybe PSone/PSP/PS Mini games wouldn't look horrible on Vita.

Hi guys I'm new to Psn Vita. I had a quick question for you. I'm also a psn+member thanks to amazon.

If I select download on a free psn game on vita it tells me that it has been added to my purchase list.

However if I don't have any space on my card it tells me that after the purchase notice. That I don't have space for a game.

I have psn + for 4 years or so. Will I be able to keep my psn+ games on vita if I deleted them but stayed a member?

I'm confused that it says its in my purchase list but can't download due to space.

Cheers and thanks.
