DOA5 is amazing but the online thing... its missing the lobbies. thats where most people at. so it will basically take you a while to get a ranked game. which i found shitty.
aside from that its perfect. with nice graphics and very smooth too.
i duno about atelier tho

Maybe I'll just go for DOA. It has a lot of offline content as well right? Any chance they will patch in the lobbies?

Who knows at this point since EA is the publisher, and they like to just abandon games' online support.YES! I remember it being larger though

Bought DOA. Hopefully they will fix online.
Yeah I played(just few hours) my friend import copy,game is good,fast pacing,helpful ai,combat system is very enjoyable and fluid (unlike the boring fest that was MonHun)and you are not completely screwed when you are alone,it also remind me of the Folklore summoning system,pretty good.
the areas were kinda empty tho (but I guess that because it was early in the game? well I hope that was the case) and the graphics..it was not good really look like an early PS2 game(like 2001-2002 one) and I'm not talking about the horrible ground textures.
this what the games of this genre should do,move away from copying a tired series or at least don't copy the flaws ( Ragnarok Odyssey copied all the garbage) get good combat system,put a story in your game and be creative.
Form what I've seen, it'll mostly be empty, unless you fight with multiple bosses. The enemies mostly act as a slight filler.
Hell I don't think there is even stage transitions (although can't be 100% here).
:/ well.. this is really bad.
Wow, so I might not even get my $10.
I don't think the enemy count is really an issue to be honest. Playing MH3 on my 3DS and they honestly just seem to be an annoyance, making the grind for shit take longer for no real reason.
Currently I have to clear a section multiple times before I take on the hunt itself, since they'l;l just end up getting in my way.

Now that Vita has "carved an independent niche" Its time to think for new month's topic's subtitle.
Be creative. It just might come true
Also who is doing the new thread?
OT april - waiting to Sacrifice our Souls
Maybe it's one of those things they call friends with benefits in USA ?

If they're getting games as payment it's closer to prostitution.

Making the new thread is terribly boring if your headphones broke, thus rendering you unable to listen to music.
;_;
;_;
Well they game is pretty small under 2gb.
Part of the reason I picked up a pair of V-Moda M80s, they're nearly indestructible. Physically speaking, but also for me headphones tend to always break in the wire just below where it goes into the headphone, losing sound, the M80s have a detachable replaceable cable so no more.
But if the bendy cable loss of sound is how yours broke, you might be able to fix it. With an older pair of mine it was as simple as unscrewing and opening it up, pulling more of the cable into the headphone, and lowering the knot inside.
Such a shame that SCEA isn't bringing the Soul Sacrifice bundle over to the states. My buddy is interested in SS for the multiplayer, but has no interest in the white or black Vita, and he can't justify the cost of importing the Japanese bundle and buying the US version of the game on top of it.
They're mainly there as recharges, but from some game-play at high levels they can kill you if you ignore them.

Ive put over 50 hours in online and maybe used lobbies twice.
if you like Atlus games then you need to get that other handheld (not Vita),I highly doubt that Vita will get any Atlus developed games again.
I don't know if it's old but there's already a Minecraft hack on Vita it seems : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUIuaUxH6o0
Toto's not wrong for once. Atlus has like 6 internally developed games on 3DS versus 1 on Vita.
K, all this talk of Nintendo and Atlus is really starting to bug me, like a lot.
They have 3DS games, and? Compare their DS to PSP output (internal develop not just published), DS had like 10 games from them majority if not all original while PSP has like 7 of which only like one is not a port or remake.
And even then I don't see how three ports, a remake, a sequel from a DS series, and a new entry from the smaller IP mean Atlus has abandoned ship from all else and is on its way to Nintendoland.
At the very least people need to stop telling Persona fans to scoop up Nintendo hardware, the next entry has a higher chance of coming to Xbox then a Nintendo platform looking at both Catherine and P4A.

Homebrew Minecraft rip-off on PSP. Being used through CFW when that was a thing, I guess.
Select to jump, wtf?
Looking forward to proper Minecraft PS4/Vita cross-buy, though!
Now compare Vita and PSP HW sales.

Vita - 304.264
PS3 - 284.845
WIU - 204.131
PSP - 197.516
Vita is basically the only system in Japan with positive growth YoY! Clearly all this momentum will lead to more Atlus support!
i hope
It sucks? Atlus put more resources into the DS versus PSP, and I don't really see that big a surprise when 3DS currently has higher output from them versus Vita.
I also don't see why people are saying Atlus will never release anything on Vita ever again/slash abandon the platform considering IIRC P3P opened lower, has lower lifetime sales, and was released on a significantly stronger platform.
But hey what-ev, sales age talk is OT and something I dislike. Universe is probably self-correcting anyway.
Just unlocked Grind World in D3, gonna have fun ignoring the story until I can blast through it with one character.

Part of me thinks that Atlus' 3DS focus is half strong hardware sales, half region-lock, but that's just me.
Yes.
Yes.
Remote Play, and Dragon's Crown don't count!

My views on WRC 3 since it's coming out in the US pretty soon and some of you may be thinking of picking it up.
I'll start with the gameplay, and it's great! To sum it up it's almost identical to the console versions, the reason I say almost is because the game does seem to be using a slightly different handling model. But don't think of this as a bad thing, given the fact it's an handheld game it works.
As for the graphics they aren't bad, but they also aren't anything to rave about either. If anything it's pretty close to NFS Most Wanted but with slightly better looking surroundings but also marginally worse looking car models.
Can't say online was a blast but there were a few games on and it was how you would expect them to be. You're simultaneously racing other players at the same time (not on the same track, although you can see their ghosts) and whoever finishes the stage first wins. In all the games I'd played the game ran smoothly and the ghosts of other players were virtually lag free so no complaints from me.
Biggest problem by far is the content though. 9 rallies (3 being free DLC), with 6 different stages each (54 in total) is decent, but sadly that's all there is. When you consider the console versions got the full 13 rallies and 5 special stages (83 in total), it just makes you wonder why so much was taken out of the Vita version. What more, the Vita version also has no career mode, which only adds to the problems.
Overall I'm happy Milestone decided to port the the game to the Vita but it really is a shame they didn't include all the content the game should have. Given the nature of it being a portable game I can see their reasoning for not including a career mode, but no way is the lack of rallies and stages justified, just seems lazy on the developers part! Saying that though for what the game is, it's good. Wouldn't recommend it a buy at full price, but if you can get it for £15 in the UK, or perhaps $25 it's worth a go if you're into racing games.
Overall I'll give it a 7/10.

Does the online work as in Burnout Paradise and are there still people playing it online?

And here I thought game publishers got paid based on game sales, not HW sales...
I played a online race with two strangers yesterday.
But one of them quit halfway through.
EDIT:
In terms of gameplay, nah. Areas that you previously couldn't access are made accessible and you can buy better weapons but that's about it (at least off the top of my head).
Story-wise it sort of does, but nothing too engaging.
And here I thought high hardware sales encourages high software sales. It says a lot that there's basically only one game that MIGHT have crossed 1 million sold on the Vita.
Edit: Eh, please don't hurt me, I love my Vita but let's not make ridiculous statements about it's ability to sell software (apart from indie software apparantly)

Give ac3 aveline and give ac lib the world of ac lib and both would be way better games.
I hope to everything good that this happens down the line. In my top 5 favorite video games and the idea of playing it in bed or on the go makes me want to throw my wallet through my TV
