It's hard to find time when I have the energy with all these new games coming out. Maybe after Christmas when all the game releases slow down.
For those of you who didn't see it: Trucks and Skulls is an Angry Birds clone that manages to go backwards in almost every possible respect.
If you actually mean Cross Buy, no it doesn't.

Now you have to import it
We're all trying to trick you into importing it so it gets localized
No I meant when you have a save on PS3 and can transfer it to Vita.
Transfarring? i don't know what the fuck it's called
Being a new, uninitiated Vitabro, whenever I heard someone mention the "Vita tax" I thought it was just a bit of a joke referring to the fact that the platform only has one 90+ game.
But now I too have encountered the Vita tax. The joystiq review.

The only large flaw that the reviewer is harping on is the use of the hardware. It seems that there was an issue with an exclusive, purpose built game using the unique hardware to its fullest capability...
I haven't seen anyone else label the actual use of the Vita's functions as "aggressively un-fun." For those who have played it early, how did you think the controls fared? Is the reviewer just not someone who plays Vita games/is full of it?
Vita means
Sorry, my jimmies may be rustled as this outlier is really holding the score of this gem of a game back. I mean, 60/100?
Confirmed: Her only Vita review and only one of two games (other is Rain) to receive sub 4 stars :/ (On Joystiq at least)

The controls are fine, but the rear-touchpad functions do take some getting used to, especially where you have to "punch" holes in the world with your fingers.
One key thing is that I have a grip that makes it really easy to hold my Vita. It's basically like holding a DualShock, except with a screen in the middle. As such, I don't know how awkward or uncomfortable it would be to play without a grip.
hey now, they at least localized the vita version of the new DBZ game... there is a tiny hope they will localize god eater 2... not much of one but a tiny one
The correct scale is Heapy - 10.
As a unique experience, I'd give it a 9. However, it's akin to Shadow of the Colossus where subsequent runs won't really feel as special.
I hate to be a Takao, but that was most likely because they were already localizing the PS3 version, which would've subsidized the Vita version almost completely.hey now, they at least localized the vita version of the new DBZ game... there is a tiny hope they will localize god eater 2... not much of one but a tiny one

It dawned on me tonight that im actually more happy and excited to play a new amazingly reviewed IP than another, albeit well reviewed, pokemon/mario/zelda.
These past few months have been great to gamers!

Genius!
my counter argument would be one piece pirate warriors 2.
already localizing the ps3 version but they couldn't be bothered to bring over the vita version as well.
it seems at least something changed slightly for them to bother with the dbz game. Yes it's a bigger IP in the west, but perhaps the forcast to namco on the vita isn't so bad anymore.
that's not to say i am expecting god eater 2.... but especially with the announcement of vita tv (and how that might do better in the west than the vita has if it's priced at $100) I wouldn't rule it out.
only thing that dawned on me tonight vita related is that starbound likely won't hit the vita until 2016 or so lol.
i'm fairly certain it has yet to be announced for Vita
LOL.

Not exactly. For some PSOne classics (including FFIX) you can purchase them directly from the PSN store from your PS Vita. That's what I did as I don't have a PS3.
Some games that supposedly don't "officially work" on PS Vita (probably more due to Sony of America's laziness than anything else) can't be purchased directly on the PSN store from a Vita and have to be transferred over from a PS3.
EDIT: Note that the availability of games you can buy directly from your Vita depends on the region of the account you are using. Japan has the highest number of PSOne games (surprise) with Europe and America having less. America may have the least actually, and some of the games are available in Europe that aren't available in America, and vice versa. And no - it doesn't really make much sense. There are lists available online - I think there may be a list in one of the threads here on GAF actually.
If you have an American account and want to know for sure which ones show up in the US PSN store for PS Vita just send me a PM and I'll be happy to look for you...
it depends on the ps1 classic... and your region
a good number will work just from the vita store, some have to be transferred from the ps3 because while they work on the vita they haven't technically cleared verification so aren't on the vita store.
I know ff8 works from the vita store, not sure about 9... i know ff5 doesn't work period on the vita
Freedom = $1.05

Man, I've been trying to get into Corpse Party but I just gave up. It's way too much trial and error for my taste. I hate dying, reloading, going through a ton of unskippable text only to try a different strategy and also die.
Is part 2 worth trying?

^Go get an FAQ/Guide and use it to beat the game.
EU PSN may get a Vita sale next week, at least that's what Jawad said in the blog update.

FFIX definitely works - in fact I'm in the middle of a playthrough of it right now.
Other FF games that are on the US PSN store available via my Vita are:
FF Tactics (PSOne version)
FF Origins (FF1 and FF2?)
FFVI
FFVII
FFVIII
FFIX
From the PSP section:
FF Tactics: War of the Lions (PSP "enhanced version" including the added slowdown bug)
FFIII (this is the 3D version ported to the Nintendo DS, then iOS, and then finally to PSP)
FFIV the Complete Collection
EDIT: So yeah, looks like everything through FFIX except for FFV

Anyone know the cheapest P4G (digital) has been? Looking to pick it up at the next sale...
noonespecial

For US I *think* I have seen it digitally as cheap as $19.99 but I could be hallucinating.
EDIT: Atlus has been on a Persona discount spree lately so there could be a decent chance of this going on sale again especially if later this week they have a Persona 5 announcement. But I'm no expert...
It has been on sale multiple times.
Really? I guess I'm just blurring the fact that it's never been on sale in EU with that last sale for NA.

Man... I wish I could be excited about tearaway with you guys, but I have little doubt that I will hate the game :/

Nah, I have it. It doesn't.
Really? I could've sworn it was mentioned it has English text @_@
Yeah it's been on sale like 3 times for $20 since July :lol
Part 2, Books of Shadows is a pure visual novel. Just reading.
Incredible. This is what I was hoping. I picked up a 3G Launch Vita put sold it due to lack of games. Now I'm really excited to grab a 2000 model! Thanks for the help!
The Vita lineup has really grown a lot in the past year.

The new patch for Spelunky is really great. Daily challenges are now in and most of the slowdown is supposedly gone. The Vita version is now pretty much the definitive version of this game. Soooo goood!
