Will drop pants for Sony.
I love the Metal Gear Acid games and playing it on the Vita would be glorious. How I wish they were on PSN :(

There are several psp games i wish were on psn like kingdom hearts birth by sleep and crisis core and psone games like omega boost and spider-man
 
Are we not getting any free mobile games this week? Last weeks games aren't free anymore, but I don't see any new ones. I thought it was supposed to last for five weeks.

I am curious as well.

Is Tokyo Jungle good?

Ahh... really can't wait for FFX/X-2 HD. I've been listening to the Besaid Island theme for quite a while. So refreshing.

I hope we get some opinions about higher level Terraria play in here. What I mean by that is how well the game controls when you're fighting difficult enemies. I really like how they mapped out the controls, but it's definitely more cumbersome than KB/M for me. I've only messed with the tutorial though. I have slight concerns about whether the game is too hard to play later on.

Konami as a whole is a complete joke as well as of now.

Where's my 2D Castlevanias?!

They locked Iga in Konami's basement of no return with Goemon and Bomberman.

FIFA killed PES sales, MGS is not a big seller anymore and LovePlus was long ago, Castlevanias is not popular and western SH bombs... seriously how this company still exist?

(1) You're slacking in your post count. I find myself trying hard to go consolidate when I am going to repost so you can repeat as champion of post count for December.

(2) While I too, would like a 2D Castlevania (I didn't like the demo for Mirror of Fate HD), at least Konami was kind enough to grace us with MGR:R. I know, it's not Vita love, but it is fantastic.

Mirror of Fate was garbage. and Lords of Shadow is God of War.

MGR is by PG... sure Konami is the publisher but they needed PG to save that project. Konami itself is freaking horrible, Kojima lost it's magic after MGS3 and they don't make anything good anymore.

Konami really has nothing except Metal Gear at this point.

Well it's their own damn fault.

Squandering stuff like Suikoden, Silent Hill, and whatever else they get their hands on. Not to mention how they killed off Hudson too.

I hold nothing but contempt nowadays towards them since I care little about Metal Gear and Kojima, hmph.

Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable is $15 on the NA PSN.

https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-ca/cid=UP0367-PCSE00209_00-EDF2017PORTABLE0

EDF: IA for PS3 is also $9.99.

wasnt EDF at this price 1-2 weeks ago as well? this is one of the games ive been meaning to purchase and i was browing it in the store last week. when i checked again this week i saw it was like $35, so i figured it was on sale last week and i was kicking myself for not buying it. am i going nuts here?

Party chat works fine, and I can talk to people on PS4 at the same time. I only really join parties at home, so I use the built in speaker-mic, works fine for the most part.

Hehe, that's what finals do.

While MGR:R is good, IIRC it wasn't in-house.

Yes. IMO they went downhill once the PS3 gen started. I loved the PS2 Silent Hills but it just lost its magic.

+Dr Strange table for Zen 2.

Wow, that was a lot to buy today. This DBZ demo is great. Was planning on buying anyway, but now I'm doing it out of more than "new Vita game" habit. Gonna get the UK release.

what about the size of the demo? is too large? terraria has a demo too in NA?

Lots of new games there , i want some impressions later if you can do it!
 
I finished up Uncharted Golden Abyss tonight. Damn, that sure was a Vita launch game, wasn't it? Overall, the game was entertaining and fun, but those touchscreen mandatory moments were fucking shit.

Still, for being free it was worth my time. I'd rank it slightly below Uncharted 1 and above 3, with 2 being best of course.

Ok this Uncharted 3 hate is getting ridiculous.

DBZ is 733mb . and yes there is a demo for Terraria in the us store (30mb)

Ok this Uncharted 3 hate is getting ridiculous.

no. It's justified

Yeah really. I marathoned the series and didn't understand the hate it gets.

Because it's awful sequel. Bad pacing, horrible new characters and villains, joke story, awful locations, shitty action sequence and Z-rated dialogue. it's like a gameloft clone, really a disgrace to ND name.
 
Kind of OT, but is there any hope that Mossmouth will port Spelunky to PS4 as well? Just saw it played on a PS3 and I gotta have it on my PS4 now.

Well my theory is that they really had high expectations in the 3rd one so when it didn't do something new they just brushed it off in their mind.

UC3 is definitely just behind UC2. I bought UC1 at launch, and it was pretty mediocre. UC2 blew my brains out, and there was nothing UC3 could do to top that.

While UC vita was decent, let's get real here. There is nothing about the game that is better than UC3. Still a worthy game to play on the vita though.
 
It continues in January for 2 more weeks, on the 7th I think

Ah, thanks. Also does the mobile section seem to be really messed up for anyone else? When I click on recent releases the top two games were apparently released today, but after that the dates are all over the place. The third game on the list was released more than a year ago.

Uncharted Golden Abyss bored me so much that I lost interest in playing the other games in the series.

Bend needed to make their own thing with Uncharted, not trying to copy UC1, they even got an Elena clone in there.
 
Wow, the DBZ game is really impressive. Clean image quality, excellent draw distance, rock-solid framerate.

Lend the Gravity Daze team this engine for the sequel!

This is a lot of hyperbole lol. It was basically UC2.5

Agree.

On a (sad) side note. Seeing Akira Toriyama's characters walking around green fields just makes me wish more for DQ VIII Vita. :(

While MGR:R is good, IIRC it wasn't in-house.

Yes. IMO they went downhill once the PS3 gen started. I loved the PS2 Silent Hills but it just lost its magic.

At least they had the foresight to bring in PG to develop and fix the project.

Mirror of Fate was garbage. and Lords of Shadow is God of War.

MGR is by PG... sure Konami is the publisher but they needed PG to save that project. Konami itself is freaking horrible, Kojima lost it's magic after MGS3 and they don't make anything good anymore.

Lords of Shadow on PC is actually fun and technically competent. I platinumed it on PS3, but... that framerate... hoping LoS2 is decent.

MGR is indeed PG. But I don't agree with Kojima losing his magic with MGS3 as, for me, MGS3 is the Uncharted 2 of the series. I liked MGS4 though, even if there was a ton of cutscenes and some of the gameplay choices were... interesting. PW came after MGS3 too, and that seems fairly competent from what I've played. Can't wait to see what's up with Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain.

Ok this Uncharted 3 hate is getting ridiculous.

I know, right?

Is EDF 2017 @ $14.99 on US PSN the cheapest so far?

Yes. It was that price once before, but it's never been lower.

Well my theory is that they really had high expectations in the 3rd one so when it didn't do something new they just brushed it off in their mind.

I don't know that I buy this. From what I can tell, people wanted more Gears of War and when Uncharted 3 decided to move more toward the original, people got pissed because there wasn't enough shootbang going on.

Think about it. The dev team behind Uncharted 2 wastes TONS of time developing the multiplayer -- of course the single player is going to showcase all the new gunplay and shootbang type stuff they came up with and be more action and less exploration/puzzles/etc.

When Uncharted 3 didn't need to waste any time developing multiplayer, they went back and made the set pieces grander and tried a few new things with allowing players to completely stealth sections instead of forcing firefights, added in new puzzles, etc.

And people were let down by this and didn't get another Uncharted 2, so they raged.

UC3 is definitely just behind UC2. I bought UC1 at launch, and it was pretty mediocre. UC2 blew my brains out, and there was nothing UC3 could do to top that.

While UC vita was decent, let's get real here. There is nothing about the game that is better than UC3. Still a worthy game to play on the vita though.

I'd agree with your last statement, but you have to realize I'm not doing it for the same reasons. It's because I put Uncharted:GA as 3rd in the list behind the original and Uncharted 3. ;)

This is a lot of hyperbole lol. It was basically UC2.5

Oh, don't say that. That's just mean. If it were Uncharted 2.5, I'd have disliked it, maybe a bit less that I dislike Uncharted 2, but I'd still dislike it. And I don't... :p


So is Capcom ever gonna out UMVC3 and DLC on sale for Vita since it's gonna be pulled very soon?

Uh. UMvC3 was on sale last month.
UMvC3 DLC was on sale last week.
You missed them.
