The winner was way too close to call this month, sobut we now have our very first double Game of the Month! Here are the reasons why you should play htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary, according to our forum members:

A long time coming to the West, but The Firefly Diary is basically Heart of Darkness x Ico x Murasaki Baby. It's got wonderful artwork, a ton of challenge and variety that belies it's simple, innocent look and some grim tones to compliment the charm that will likely make it a memorable and interesting experience. It can be frustrating, unpredictable at times and unforgiving, but also satisfying. It's nice to see a handholding game (figuratively speaking) that doesn't hold your hand.

You guys made GotM way too difficult this month.

 

[Shizuka]

Yay, Wild Chicks won!

 

[pariah164]

Oh fuck. I made the Wall of Shame.

Spoiler

About damn time.

Also, that is a PERFECT banner for the Banned Game.

 

[names2hard4you]

It's March!

BUSY BUSY BUSY month

Spoiler

(Zero, you forgot the almighty Axiom Verge on the 31st! How could you?!)

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

New thread.

Will probably be getting Oreshika

 

[ZeroAKA]

I don't vote unless I have to be the tiebreaker. Both htoL#NiQ and Banned Game were tied without my vote, but I took pity on Banned Game mostly because I had that picture prepared last night and it literally took me less than 30 seconds to Photoshop. I did find it amusing that almost every Banned Game comment used words such as "serviceable", "not the greatest", and "somewhat solid". Nobody seemed to feel very strongly about it.

Kick took third place with one vote behind htoL#NiQ and Banned Game. Everything else is pretty much irrelevant.

 

[wilflare]

wilflare done goofed

 

[Zhao_Yun]

March will be a busy month for me... off the top of my head I will probably get:
Oreshika
Hotline Miami 2
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
Bloodborne

Thank god I handed in my thesis this week! More time to play!

Spoiler

or spend on GAF

 

[ZeroAKA]

wilflare done goofed

How so?

 

[wilflare]

How so?

119 is not enough posts

 

[names2hard4you]

I shouldn't have spoiled my post lol, Zero, you should add Axiom Verge to the list, I for one am very excited for that game on the 31st!

 

[Hikami]

huh, didn't think I posted that much last thread.

Oreshika and Kiwami for me this month. Still unsure on Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters.

 

[antibolo]

Oh god I post way too often here

 

[ZeroAKA]

119 is not enough posts

Oh, I thought you image searched Banned Game or something. Part of the reason why I don't have a proper banner for it is because I'm too scared to look it up.

I shouldn't have spoiled my post lol, Zero, you should add Axiom Verge to the list, I for one am very excited for that game on the 31st!

Thanks, adding to OP.

 

[wilflare]

it's a good thing - Vita is LIFE

it's creative but hmm lol would be nice to have a banner for it.
i like [redacted] lol

or you can paste bish's dp over it. Samuel L Jackson

 

[Flunkie]

March is gonna be killer... why did I have to spend so much money on Vita shit LAST month?

 

[wilflare]

March is gonna be killer... why did I have to spend so much money on Vita shit LAST month?

you are gonna keep spending
and buy a 3RD 64GB

 

[Shizuka]

Remember guys, Oreshika will be March's GotM.

 

[jvm]

Reporting for duty.

 

[names2hard4you]

You guys complaining about talking to much make feel ashamed of my place on that list LOL

 

[Chuy]

Yay, Wild Chicks won!

Was there ever a doubt? I mean seriously.

 

[ZeroAKA]

Was there ever a doubt? I mean seriously.

Yes, because hotL#NiQ would have won if I voted.

 

[wilflare]

Yes, because hotL#NiQ would have won if I voted.

you should have voted T_T

 

[teflontactics]

Hello March thread - and what a wondrous thread you will be.

 

[Shun]

Aww shit I should have voted for God Eater 2 Rage Burst.

I guess that'll be my vote for March then.

Going from Phantasy Star Nova back to God Eater and MoHun in between. Too good.

From ZeroAKA, it seems like I'll be picking up Disgaea 4 Return as well. Any flaws to note before picking it up?

Also Toukiden recommendations? I have only played the PSP version and I wasn't that great. Probably gonna give it another go with the Vita version. Other than the improved visuals and buttons, anything else to note?

 

[salromano]

OP, it's White Night, not White Knight.

Had me thinking there was a stealth PS4 White Knight Chronicles release on the way or something. xD

 

[ascii42]

Hmm, yeah. I'll be buying a few things this month

 

[pariah164]

I probably won't be getting anything this month. Saving up for Operation Abyss

Spoiler

and Project Mirai DX.

 

[cardinalmind]

March is tempting me to buy a PS4. But I still can't see my primary motivating game every gen in the horizon (Gran Turismo) so I'll probably still won't.

Can't buy Oreshika until the paycheck comes out, but will surely be there for Toukiden. Loved the first game.

 

[Tohsaka]

OP, it's White Night, not White Knight.

Had me thinking there was a stealth PS4 White Knight Chronicles release on the way or something. xD

I wish we'd get a third game, even though the second one was kinda underwhelming IMO.

 

[Shizuka]

Spoiler

and Project Mirai DX.

Good for you, those are great games and I'm also getting them.

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

So it looks like we're finally getting that promised Metal Slug 3 port on PS4/PS3/Vita this month.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015...15-8-weeks-8-new-ps4-games-ps-plus-discounts/

For that price, it better be cross-buy.

 

[TUSR]

are we actually not allowed to say banned games name?

 

[teflontactics]

and Project Mirai DX.

You know it got pushed from mid-April to June right?

 

[pariah164]

You know it got pushed from mid-April to June right?

Oh, I'm well aware.

 

[names2hard4you]

I may buy that Tokyo Ghost Hunting game just out of sheer curiosity, aside from that, Type-0, Bloodborne and Axiom Verge will be heavy on my wallet. Gonna remote play both Type-0 and Axiom, the latter I wanted to play on the Vita, but since it will take a while until then, I will just play it this way.

Bloodborne I will have to play on my TV screen because... well I will have enough dying that way, no need for the hiccups or lag to make it even worse lol.

I too am waiting for Operation Abyss, that is my most awaited Vita title from the ones that have been confirmed and announced so far of course.

 

[teflontactics]

Oh, I'm well aware.

Just making sure, wouldn't want you to abstain from purchases unless you have to.

 

[Quixzlizx]

Can I play Monster Monpiece without sexually harassing my Vita, or is that mini-game mandatory?

 

[JJP12]

I can't believe Kick & Fennick only lost by 1 vote. I'm still glad it got 3rd, it was a really fun little platformer. And I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Project Cars got pushed to April.

 

[Chuy]

Yes, because hotL#NiQ would have won if I voted.

Well i meant due to how highly praised it was here by VitaGAF

Spoiler

Also was the typo in type-0 intentional besides the obvious vita version never coming?

are we actually not allowed to say banned games name?

No due to the moderators banning further discussion on the game

I can't believe Kick & Fennick only lost by 1 vote. I'm still glad it got 3rd, it was a really fun little platformer. And I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Project Cars got pushed to April.

Can't believe i forgot to vote for it this month. Don't own it but a friend does and i was completely in love with the game during the time i got to try it.

 

[teflontactics]

Can I play Monster Monpiece without sexually harassing my Vita, or is that mini-game mandatory?

Well, you could - but I don't think you'd get far since it's the main card upgrade method.

 

[Tohsaka]

are we actually not allowed to say banned games name?

You can say it, people have just gotten in the habit of not doing so. You're just not allowed to make threads about it.

 

[Shizuka]

No offense, but Noire's fanservice kicks it up a notch and I haven't seen a single person complain about it yet. Here's the first complaint.

 

[ZeroAKA]

Updated OP. I should stop working on these so far ahead of time.

 

[Tohsaka]

No offense, but Noire's fanservice kicks it up a notch and I haven't seen a single person complain about it yet. Here's the first complaint.

Yeah, there's definitely more of it than usual. I love it though, so I'm not complaining.

 

[Parakeetman]

Aww shit I should have voted for God Eater 2 Rage Burst.

I guess that'll be my vote for March then.

Kiwami has 3 new weapons Naginata, Large Club, Rifle and story related content / characters. Plus a ton of new mitama. Also new weapons / armor sets.

 

[Quixzlizx]

Well, you could - but I don't think you'd get far since it's the main card upgrade method.

Well, I was hoping that maybe there was an option to get "credit" for it without actually having to do it.

 

[JJP12]

Can't believe i forgot to vote for it this month. Don't own it but a friend does and i was completely in love with the game during the time i got to try it.

It's all good. All that matters is that you had fun playing it. And high five for enjoying an awesome game!

 

[Tohsaka]

Well, I was hoping that maybe there was an option to get "credit" for it without actually having to do it.

I just played the game on my PS TV, and mashed the X button over the areas you need to rub. It's a little slower than touching the Vita's screen, but I didn't feel like switching over from the PSTV whenever I needed to level up my cards.

 

[teflontactics]

Well, I was hoping that maybe there was an option to get "credit" for it without actually having to do it.

There's a method of doing it, it's just rare to get and so it's useless to try and get by with just that method (I forget what the item is, but it's like an auto-upgrade for your card).
