Those are some sad percentages, but HEY!!! at least it is going up quite a bit.
I don't think they believe they will even hit that number and if they did they would just ask their backers what they would like to see it ported to. The irony of all this is that a Vita version would for sure outsell the Linux and perhaps the Mac and Android versions and would be about as simple to port to if what Brian from Retro City Rampage is anything to go by.

haha, I like it.
So far, I'm very much enjoying Ninja Gaiden Σ2+.
The framerate issues aren't as bad as I'd heard (on singleplayer at least, the game runs like Σ Plus for the most part), and the graphics are similar to Σ Plus, with lower resolution and worse textures offsetting the better lighting and effects.
The controls are about as responsive as Σ Plus, which can be a positive or a negative. Gimmicks are kept to a minimum, and the gyro and back touch controls can be turned off.
Loading times are faster then the PS3 version for sure.
The resolution is very crisp for the most part. Not native, but close. It drops frequently however, especially during loading (menus, new areas, ect) and graphically heavy moments (lots of enemies onscreen, Ryu using an Ultimate technique or Ninpo, boss using large shiny attack, ect). It doesn't stay low for long, so I haven't had much issues with it but different folks, different strokes.
Initially, my first impressions were quite bad. I felt like I could barely control Ryu, but I quickly adapted and can now play the game almost like I play Σ2. I'd definitely recommend it if you liked Σ Plus.

Some of my referrals still say Success - Pending. Hope they update it soon.
Is that not correctable or is it core to the hardware design?
I think it's avoidable with further optimization.
Uncharted got a patch after release which allowed the WiFi to be on.
I almost caught myself asking why you bother with the Vita at all. You very nearly got me
Yup, dynamic resolution. I think some AA is even applied when Ryu stands still, but I could be imagining it.
Congratulations, you got the game with the most replayability on the platform and best leaderboard integration.
(No clue about the keys)
NGS+ also have dynamic resolution in some sections, so this isn't unexpected.
Is it good? I did a quick google and saw some really bad scores so I wrote it off.
AWESOME GAME, one of my favourites on vita, very fun platinum too!
Can you turn off the motion controls and shit that made the bow horrible in Sigma?
Without any exaggeration my favourite and most played game on the system. Controls are tight, content and variation is plenty and as I said, the leaderboards integration the best on the system to date. If you like highscore gaming and you have a few Vita friends who have the game to race against their ghosts, this game is awesome.
The bow/cannon has to be used from the touch screen (either tap anywhere on the screen to shoot the bow there or press the touchscreen button in the bottom left corner to go into aiming mode.
IIRC back touch and gyro controls are off by default. I'll check again when I get back from classes.
Wait... I must have misread the scores. Looking at them now it is reviewed quite well. I don't really pay any attention to reviews but I thought I saw 5/10 yesterday.

The ones that say "Success - Closed" are the only ones that worked.
I'm glad I asked. Almost missed out on a great game from the sounds of it.

Most of mine still stuck in "success - pending".

Wow and what does "Accepted" mean? Got 0 "Success - Closed" ones ;(
I have no clue since I dont own all these vehicles. You wont miss them anyway, just get the base game and the 2 Track DLC for now if you dont want to bother with the rest.

That means someone got your mail.
And then you hit a wall with those stupid dirt trucks and the desert tracks. I quit the game after that and haven't gone back. Fuck trying to do a hotlap and continuously spinning out/drifting into walls no matter how far I push the sticks out.

Seems like they had it at the wrong price. It changed, and everything is okay now
Random thought : I really should try to get all of those Welcome Park trophies one day.
Ah, I see. thanks.
Its all about timing your acceleration and brake moments. 5* a level is piss easy if you put a few hours of training into learning the quirks of each car type and terrain (except the drift ones, which are really hard). Most of the time I easily managed to shave of 10-20 seconds of the gold time.
Its not a game you play to platinum, its a game you play to improve yourself and become a better player to rival the times of other people.
Besides, they already lowered the times since launch, if your only try was on launch day.
Thats what I want to know. And it has all the ps3 stuff first!
Meh.. watching some Dota anyways so I'll do it. I'd be SOL without the tap and drag to scroll. They list all the PS3 vehicles first.
Grimmy has the right idea.
(All that's left is to put up the new banners when U get home!)
IMHO, the memory cards prices are a much bigger issue than the price of the device itself; but, that said, the Vita needs to be $200 max AND always include an 8GB Memory Stick. SONY's lack of interest in addressing these price issues in the US just further exemplifies that they don't give a sh*t about the device any more. Sad, because it's such an awesome device.

Could have sworn that's what "pending" means. Well there goes nothing ;(

Yeah, Accepted means someone accepted your referral but didn't put in their Vita serial # and ID.
i am home
...I get home. Damn phone.
OH btw, I would appreciate if you could link the Lets play thread for march in the OP as well
Consider it done.
I bought the All-Stars DLC the other day. More than a dozen separate downloads on each platform. Christ.
Do you know what the 2 tracks are called? There are so many things for Motorstorm in the dl list that I can't tell.
