And yes I already bought P4G lol. Could you please recommend other great games. Both Danganronpa games are on sale on PSN. I'm also considering Virtue Last Reward. Any other must haves GAF? Thanks

If you like FPS you have Killzone mercernaries.

Edit: Tearaway was on of my favourites, I enjoyed it more in vita than in PS4.

Chie is the worst waifu
Trails of Cold Steel
Y's Seven (It's a PSP game but compatible)
Y's Memories of Celceta
The Aforementioned DR1/2 and Ultra Despair Girls (Don't play this until after DR2)
Muramasa Rebirth
Velocity Ultra/2X
Disgaea 3/4
Persona 3 Portable (Another PSP game that's compatible since you've got P4G)

Do you need to play the previous disgaea's before playing 4?

No. There's some references to the other games, but only after you finish it. They're all self-contained.

Adventures of Mana is alot of fun.

Dont play VLR if you havent played 999.
999 is rumoured to be getting a Vita port but its up to you.

Steins Gate is also a great VN im playing through now.

Adventures of mana's a pretty good remake.

Txk as someone else said as well. The creator literally cant release it on another system or Atari will sue him.

Why are people recommending Cold Steel yet not recommending Trails in the Sky?

Its preferable to play Trails in the Sky first then Cold Steel.

Get yourself some good indie games! Games like:

Olli Olli
Hotline Miami
Binding on Isaac

are all great on Vita even if you've played them elsewhere, because of the pick up and play aspect. Seriously, playing Binding of Isaac in bed is a great way to never sleep.

Will second playing 999 first (NO, you may not skip it, if you're going to get into Zero Escape, you'll want to play all three games in order, and no, the iOS one isn't good enough; I'd recommend waiting on the Steam and possible Vita ports in the works if you don't have any means of playing the DS version). Will fourth Trails of Cold Steel, if you can't get the PS3 version anyway (the Lionheart Edition goes for no more than $40 for both systems these days, the PS3 one a few bucks less, so it's well worth going physical regardless of which one you choose).

You can play Trails in the Sky first to get a better grasp on the setting, past events, and familiar faces, but it isn't strictly necessary as the first game in each arc after Liberl (Crossbell, Erebonia) was made to be suitable for easing in new players. Plus, while OP will be able to conclude the main story for the in the Sky games through the PSP versions of FC and SC, the 3rd will only be getting a PC release. Personally, I decided to alternate between playing both FC and CS, and more Western sales for Trails is always a good thing.

My other reason for co-signing the Cold Steel recommendations was OP's interest in Persona.

Play 999 before VLR and VLR before ZTD.

Ys, Trails and Persona games are great. If you like those, then Brandish is also a solid choice.

Only wanted to add that Severed won't be exclusive for much longer, but certainly deserves more attention and is a great Vita game.

You should buy those Danganronpa games, as well as Steins;Gate. That's pretty much all you need in all honesty, at least for a while.

If you fancy some hunting action, there's Freedom Wars, Soul Sacrifice Delta, God Eater Ressurection and Toukiden Kiwami. Just don't jump in expecting them to play like Monster Hunter - Toukiden is the closest of them, but still considerably different.

I've always wanted to check out the "Danganronpa" titles. Weren't the first two installments recently ported to Steam? Wouldn't that leave the door open for a potential PS4 compilation as a result? I know the third part will be launch with Sony's home console as well and its my preferable way to play most games. I don't guess it would hurt to wait for the possibility of such a port, right?

Obviously, all Vanillaware avaible (odin sphere, muramasa and dragon's crown).

Dokuro, my most favorite game, I loved that small romance story with a good puzzle game (not really hard but not too easy)

Virtue Last Reward if you liked 999 since it's about the same story.
Danganronppa 1 & 2 if you like VN.

All the legendary heroes game (trails in the sky and trails of cold steel)

All the Final Fantasy if you like them (1 to 10-2 are avaible)

Ys series (especially seven and celceta)
