That's exactly my issue. I mean, I know people say the time limit is generous, but as soon as I want to recraft some item with better materials, but know it'll cost, say, 19 days to finish, and i only have, say, 2 years left... I can't help but get stressed/frustrated and not know if 'this is the item' that would make me run out of time. Let me craft in peace, dammit. If i have no idea how many more thing I need to craft, any time limit makes me feel like re-crafting (which is important and integral to the game) is flirting with disaster.
I picked up Valhalla Knights because I'm intrigued by the large party based combat system, it's only $6, and I remember someone loving it.
Picked up sword art online because so many seem to love it.
Picked up tiny troopers because of this review:

I'm on the fence about Earth Defense Force and Deception... i want both, but i think i can wait for the next sale given my ridiculous backlog.

I generally don't like Time limits but the Atelier series does it well, Vanilla Rorona was difficult but anything after was easy.
It's just there so you think carefully of what you want to do and then play again for those crazy dungeons and extra endings.

Only a certain amount of in game days to complete and if not managed well enough will fail you. Traveling from place to place can eat up your days. Not only this but are tasked with needing to do orders to continue as well which also can eat up some days.

Ubisoft also posted a sale for this week: https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-us/ubisoft-sale/cid=STORE-MSF77008-UBISOFTSALE224
Highlights are...

Speedwagon
Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
Where do I find the free stuff like the Toro theme?
If you're between those two games, get EDF. We still might get the upgraded Deception IV sometime in the future.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
The last time EDF went on sale was almost exactly a year ago. I'd grab it now if you're interested. It doesn't go on sale terribly often these days.
dont worry about the time limit. Unless you are just carelessly wasting time deliberately or something, you'll be fine.
I'm sure if the people here who complain about it being 'too much pressure' just continued on with the game, they'll be able to finish the game on a good ending.
you have a certain amount of years before the game ends. moving across the world map, spending time with characters, battling monsters, and crafting (the core of the game) eats days. once you reach the end depending how much you accomplished, you'll get either a bad, okay, or good ending in some form.
I finished the game and didn't get the best ending because I wanted to experiment with the combat/crafting. Sure, I could replay for a better ending, but why would I do that when I didn't find the first playthrough satisfying?
Sorry but no. I came from playing rpgs where I had all the time in the world to explore, level up, ect. So having any set of time will make me fail since I usually put a ton of time into doing side missions and other things.
waste of in game time? Yes. Waste of my own time? No

To be fair there are guides out there (many without spoilers) that will guide you through Totori so you don't miss anything, can do everything, be the completionist you want to be and bask in the charm in the game without having an internal crisis over "what if I miss something / what if I run out of time".
My only qualm is that I really wanted to see these characters age over the arbitrary 5-year journey that the game system mandates.

Sounds like you just plainly didnt like the game. And thats fine, Atelier isnt for everyone
You might want to look into Atelier Shallie, which removes time limits altogether.
I didn't like the game because the time limit caused me to continually stop doing what I found enjoyable. I would have enjoyed the game a lot more without the time limit.
I understand Atelier isn't for everyone, and one aspect of that is the time limit. For some that is not a problem, but for those with a mindset similar to mine looking to buy the game I think my point of view may help make an informed purchase.
(This is for Totori ftr)
I played Totori into year 2 and half or so. I had no idea what I was doing. But I was confident I would finish it. I never did finish the game, got sidetracked and didn't bother to reinstall it.
The point is. I too hate time limits. The good thing about these games is it's pretty tough to fail, even if you try to tank it.
No, Astrid. She was
extremely lazy and rude in a funny way.
And holy shit is Miku hard.
Yeah vanilla rorona, what a beast. It is the game that cured me of wanting to get platinums.

Tales of R any good? Really want to buy some stuff on this sale, but the "80% off" is a bit misleading. Most of it is like $5 off.

Word. Just FYI there's some good youtube vids and FAQ's to get to the things you need to unlock the original Rondo of Blood and that version of SotN. I initially didn't care for the 2.5D remake, but after finally getting to play and love the shit out of Rondo of Blood, I came to appreciate some of the things the remake added.
I agree. It's an ok game, works as a portable game, and it's just Silent Hill iconography/fan service in a blender. No reason it can't be taken less seriously and have a spin off that does nothing that SH normally does. It's as inoffensive imo as the arcade beat 'em up of Aliens Vs Predator is... with Alien being another thing people really take being "true to the spirit of" seriously.

Don't get COD.
I got the COD Vita Bundle back in the day.
I played the game, it was terrible.
I threw it in the trash, it was on my desk the next morning.
I tried to burn it and it broke my lighter.
It will haunt your dreams.

If you're not a fan of overly frequent load times, don't get Valhalla Knights 3
isn't it on mobile too?
Jak collection was a broken mess during the launch, check with someone who has bought the game recently before buying it.

Ugh, thanks for the heads up. I can deal with long load times (WWF Attitude on PS1 anyone? LOL) but frequent ones tick me off quick.
Yeah, it's pretty fun. I paid full price and didn't regret it.

I've heard mixed responses to this, but can right analog stick be set to adjust camera?
How is EDF?
BertleTheTurtle
Member
yep it can.
I've only played the PC version which is $3, so I'm not quite sure if the PSN version adds more since it's normal price is $5. Maybe it's just due to crossbuy or something.
The game is a choose your own adventure style 2D walking simulator. I don't remember if there's any puzzles, but if there was then they probably didn't impede my progress too much. If you like the idea of a choose your own adventure story kind of game with a few different paths then it might be alright.
I personally thought the game was a lot of nothing and if you're low on funds then I don't see any reason to waste the money.
Besides that I'm planning on buying SAO, New Little Kings Story, and Gods Eater Burst. Thinking about Sumioni, Let's Fish, Valhalla Knights, and Orgarhythm just because they're cheap even though I know nothing about them. Also thinking about EDF because it's EDF. I''ve heard good things about Tales of Hearts R and I've never played a Tales game, but would rather have a physical version. I'm also contradicting myself since I'm thinking about throwing $20 at Miku just for the digital convenience opposed to my physical version.

Stop young padawan, you need not many games on your 64 GB. This is not steam where a +1 is glorious.
Don't buy Jak & Daxter Collection. It's a horrible port. Unplayable framerate. Stay clear away.
