Put a few hours into Valhalla Knights 3.

It's um...hmm

After convincing a few people to speak to a priest, I was awarded a tiny bikini..which has better stats than any of my other armor + gives me health every time I hit someone.

The shops are like hostess bars. I pay a cover charge, buy equipment/potions, hand gifts to the girl, and occasionally there's "sexy-time" (rub the screen to fill her affection meter)

This is the weirdest prison ever.

How is the combat?

 

[Antiwhippy]

it's not up yet.. 26Feb

Ah cool. Thanks for the info.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

How is the combat?

Not far enough in to tell.

It's actiony, but certainly not Tales-level. The most effective tactic seems to be knocking enemies down/stunning/killing them before they can hit you with brutal attacks. It also pays to "kite" them while your mages/archers rain hell. There's some sort of morale system. In one battle I just lost my leader to some huge bastard doing 100 dmg a swing (I had like 200-300 hp). When I switched to one of the survivors I noticed a "TOUCH THIS" button on-screen. I got some nice boost that caused me to do 2 or 3X damage. Wrecked that jerk in a hurry.

I'm already up to 5 party members, I think the cap is 6 or 7. With all these people running around,I guess it's just as well that the action isn't stylish.

 

[Stulaw]

I ended up getting Tearaway and God of War Collection since the latter's cross-buy and I can play the PS3 version instead of suffering through the framerate of the Vita version.

 

[Ohnonono]

Got Neptuna and Deception 4. Have not played Neptuna. Played Deception for about 2 hours. Game is so much fun! Really glad I picked that one up.

 

[CozMick]

Persona 4 golden, yay or nay?

I'll be playing on pstv and it'll be my first venture into this genre I believe.

[Lee Chaolan]

So with this sale, did they fix Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles to work with the PSTV, or is that still a fools dream?

Could someone please test this for me? Thanks.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Anyone have any idea when we get our $15 back from the promotion?

I might get all Atelier games if we get our bonus back before this sale ends.

On or before March 2nd according to the promo page. So you'd be cutting it close, but should still be good.

I bought Totori and Meruru, as I already bought Rorona Plus on PS3, great games.

Well shit =/ wtf Konami/Sony <_>

You're really selling me on the game right now.

Good to know. I am about $11 short if I buy all three Atelier games. Hopefully we get it before the sale ends.

What are the chances of Tales of Hearts R being on sale for $20 or less in months? let say June or July? I love Tales game, but I'm not very desperate to play it consider my backlog on Steam.

Just don't wanna miss out on a good price.

YES, come on, you can't possibly be a GAF member and not know what we all collectively think about the game. It's a masterpiece, buy it already.

I feel like I should get this game :3c

 

[ramyeon]

So in Australia we get a sale with the same games that go on sale every time now. Would have at least liked Tales of Hearts R on sale. Oh well, saves me money.

Tales games always seem to go on sale for low prices (in the past month Tales of Xillia 1 and 2 have both been in sales for less than $20), but that's for PS3 Tales games. I don't know why a Vita Tales might go on sale less than a PS3 Tales, but there it is.

Yeah, but hardly any Vita games ever goes on sale. So this might be a rare occasion.

Hearts R vita was on sale on Bamco's website a few weeks back for $24. Lowest I've seen it go personally.

 

[Tigress]

I know people have said COD is horrible, but for 10 bux is a decent time waster? Why was it so bad? Also, if you were to only get one Atelier game, which one would you recommend?

Tales games seem to get a good number of sales. I'm holding off on buying Hearts for this reason. Xillia and Symphonia I got for under 10 each. (as well as I bought 2 Atelier games and Sword Art right now)

Also, Golden Week is coming up soon, could see it being on sale then for possibly cheaper as well. The Atelier games were on sale for Vita last year during GW, so could easily see ToH be on sale then too.

[BkMogul]

Is the framerate in the Jak games as bad as I've heard?

 

[SolidChamp]

Two bucks for Home A Unique Horror Story, so fuck it, pulled the trigger.

I figure worse case scenario, I put as much time into it as I did Lone Survivor (which I bought for $2.50 but didn't finish because of the difficulty spike).

 

[CozMick]

Persona 4 Golden bought

£14.99, not bad.

Thanks guys.

I just went to GameStop and paid $30 for a copy of Hearts. Why? Cause I adore the series and its niche games like this (especially for the vita) that will probably be discontinued after a while. (I'm talking about physical copy) so I might as well get it now.

If the Atelier games goes on sale during Golden Week then I'll buy it then if its same or cheaper in price.

If not I'm not too heartbroken since I'm a steam gamer too so I can hopefully just wait for it to hit PC. Hyperneptunia did. So there's a chance.

The biggest thing against the game (as well the series having played them all) is how much you really have to spend time learning what options are available and where they are. I think in VK2 I spent like 5 hours in game before realizing where I could recruit more characters. It's important to know but damn the game dosnt help emphasize anything.

I started playing this yesterday and damn... It's very different from the rest of the series. It's slowly growing in me but the gifting and hostess stuff is throwing me off quite a bit due to how much of it is in the game.

Still don't know if I'm enjoying it but I do know more time with it is needed before I feel I can say anything.

Yeah But I'm looking over the gameplay for Atelier right now. and It just doesnt seem like it's for me. I usually dont play JRPG unless I find it extremely appealing.

So since I have Hearts already, the only thing I would possibly get is SAO. But I'm going to watch some gameplay video and decide on that. Already have $8 on PSN. It would be pointless for me to spend $40 on a $50 card now.

 

[trx64]

It's a big issues when you already own most of the games that you like on the list, but well, my 32GB memory card is full anyway. I need a 64GB one.

 

[FriedConsole]

I want to know too. Does it have online?

COD Vita isn't as bad as the reviews made it out to be. Campaign is hard probably to pad the short length. Online has a couple of good maps and the rest are terrible. Online community is there and easy to get a match. COD is better than Resistance but nowhere close to Killzone.

Even if you pass on the Atelier games, don't pass on their soundtracks, my man.

I bought it last night and have already got $10 worth of enjoyment from the online. TDM, kill confirmed, hardpoint and free for all. Community seems active, portable online fps is pretty coo in bed

 

[autoduelist]

Are there any redeeming qualities for Valhalla knights 3? Is the combat fun? 7 member party sounds fun.

What about COD? Is the online still alive? Do you get the psp version of COD along with the game too?

At those prices i figure both are worth buying. i remember vk3 had at least one person really liking it in the psn thread, and while i don't remember what he really liked (it was combat/team related iirc) i remember being sold on it back then and was waiting for a good sale. $6 is far better than i was expecting, so it's an easy pickup.

i don't own a crystal ball, but i'd say unlikely. maybe you'll save a few extra bucks if you are willing to wait a year.

I don't understand the Toro obsession. It's not like he's had his own games forever like Mario.

Toro is life. Life is toro.
He's a bistro waiter in PS All Stars. Love him.

Is the first better than the second available here?

Lol thats exactly why I refuse to ever play them. I bought one and gave up

Same here. Started playing Totori but it's just too much pressure.

i hate time restrictions and i hate crafting but this totori game is all right in my book

My hatred to time restrictions in an rpg kills the series for me completely, I dont mind the crafting though.

i think it's the fact that there doesn't appear to be a "fail" state in the game for time. or at least i haven't seen one. it's just counting down while i do things

 

[Shadownet]

[Stoof]

Wow, kinda shocked at how many things there I want at good prices. Normally Vita sales aren't too great but I'll be getting several things from this.
