Invite sent!
But hang around, Vitabros can adapt, can't they?
All right everyone, with the new year in progress, your thread is getting an upgrade as part of our platform thread revamp.
Yes, an upgrade.
So basically, we've refactored the threads the combine the downloads/service focused threads since based on the vendor since they share the same backbone networks, and (especially in the case of PlayStation) sometimes feature crossplay.
Basically:
-Steam covers most of PC/Mac/Linux
-iOS covers iPad/iPhone/iPod
-Nintendo downloads covers 3DS/Wii U
-If they ever actually put it up, Xbox Downloads will cover 360 and Xbox One
-And as such, we'd like to make these threads cover Vita *and* PS3/PS4
Ideally what we'd like from you is to keep the same format, but add in PS3 and PS4 games to the OP as well. Ideally note things that are crossplay or on multiple PlayStation platforms as well, which tends to be a rather large number of games these days.
This should also help out in any dry spell months for any given platform.
It would be great if you could update the OP of this thread itself, and then I'll update the title to reflect the new more expansive topic domain.
l understand why this thread is getting closed. Much of the discussion about games gets focused here instead of in the OTs or dedicated news threads.
On the other hand, the Vita community that got fostered here is unique and special and will probably get lost in the change
Sure, there is some echochambering and thread whining in this save haven but it is nothing compared to the constant bashing you can read about the Vita. The discussion here actually evolves around games and many of us here are very critical ourselves.
Can't say I didn't see it coming but it was nice while it lasted.
We love you for importing Japanese Vita games!
I can understand the reasoning behind this move but I am also worried that the atmosphere of this thread will change. Following this thread actually convinced my to buy a Vita and it was always nice to get information on niche Vita-titles.
Just have to wait and see, I guess.
Vitabros form VitaGAF thread
*VitaGAF gets re-branded in the form of hiding the purpose of the thread ever so slightly more
Vitabros enter GAF after humiliation but sense overwhelming negativity in all forms towards the thing they're here to talk about
Vitabros become more modest (for a while), put on cloaks, and enter secret VitaGAF thread
*repeat here
Vita games don't often even have OTs created for them (or news threads, etc.). We're too niche.
Well sad news about the change. Don't post much here anymore but always check the thread since the system launched. Great while It lasted.
Psn kincade
Still, it's like our little bro is here to back us up
The destiny of VitaGAF: forever wandering the plains of the internet - unloved by all but those who share their pain. :b
Also, I forgot to ask: how did you find the touch controls for Eufloria? Several reviews I've read mentioned issues with identifying and selecting units, but it seems that it's not necessarily deep enough to warrant that kind of management?
It's a bit of a shame, but maybe things won't change too much.
If PSP is the little brother, what is PSM? The weird cousin no one likes perhaps?
Just spent $430 on a new vita, 64 GB memory card, three games, and a case / film. Can't wait for it to arrive! Plus it comes with three digital games and I got a bunch of games already downloaded from PS + over the last year
Well guys, so I think I won't discuss about the Vita on this forum anymore... any alternatives?
If I can't have a place where I can enjoy discussion with people who enjoy the platform, without any "no games" or "why isn't X on PS4, why don't Sony kill the Vita?". Hell, sometimes we got some of these posts around here, it'll get a lot worse on a thread full of PS3/PS4 owners.
Just because the thread is changing doesn't mean you guys have to leave. The general PSN thread is still going to be the Vita thread in spirit. :/
Even more reason to make our mark in the new PSN thread early on.We'll all be shunned out of this thread in a year or two when devs start focusing more on the new consoles >__<
There are certain objects that do need a bit more micro management (flowers and lasers) - sometimes you'll be too far zoomed out to select them (or they'll be selected instead of the planets) - need to zoom in more. Takes a bit to get used to but after a few hours playing (each stage is like half an hour) - I'm all over it. Just all over it. I haven't finished the campaign yet, last few levels. And I switched to easier difficulty for the last few stages. Might be more tense in challenging, but you can always slow down the speed (buttons on top-left) when you want to micro-manage or strategise or appreciate your army/battles.
I really wish they added proper controls too and let you choose. The touch controls are very well done though and would probably be better than non-touchscreen controls ALONE - but the thing is I think they want you to use one hand to support the Vita and the other to do the inputs, which makes sense. I guess I can see why they didn't bother. It's great though

Sounds awesome. Thanks for the detailed answer.
Guess I'll use this to tide me over until Frozen Synapse: Tactics comes out.
Man. I think this is the only mod decision I can recall strongly disagreeing with in my six years as a GAF member. I love the community within a community of these Vita threads and the talk here is one reason I decided to get the hardware a couple months ago.
If that's how it has to be, so be it. I see it's just one part of a larger reorg for 2014. But I don't think it will be the same. Hope I'm wrong.
*pours one out*
I also support the idea of a Vita thread on the community board. It makes sense. The platform is so maligned that it would just be nice to have one safe zone to talk exclusively about it. Maybe the negativity has subsided, though. I think a lot more people see the merits of the platform now, even if they don't own one.
Maybe not flood, but we should continue to keep a steady Vita discussion in the new thread to convince more people to get a Vita.are you implying we flood the new thread with PSN-vita related discussion? haha
they keep trying to force the creation of news specific threads on us. crowdsourcing "articles" so the man can get hits and paid.
so...uh... what are some good psn games that came out on ps3 in the last year?
Good, maybe now people can also discuss vita's issues without passive aggressiveness from other users.

^ This guy. Usually, his posts have titles.
As said, works great and lives up to the name. Also made by a gaffer who posts in these threads (you'll see from the avatar).
You guys... You guys are adorable.Wait, he made that game? Huh, had no idea.

They made me look like a fool ;__;You guys... You guys are adorable.
I was just going to let the facade run for the lolzbut since change is a coming, best clear that up.also I forgot to respond
ALSO, is Houston VitaGAF possible? I don't have a massive online presence but I'm a pretty snarky/likable dude in real life. PM me if your interested. Or send a friend request.Or say something here! Doesn't really matter. And finally, I don't know the age breakdown here. But I'm 21. I only say so because the reason I stopped using Near is because I don't want to get caught with freaking 11 year olds sending me their pictures and locations. IT'S HAPPENED AND I WAS CREEPED THE HELL OUT.PSN is same as username. Say your from GAF though.

Anytime! Let me know if you think it's rubbish or whatever so I can add some notes to when I recommend it. I don't hear much about it (at all) and I enjoy it so much I may be overlooking things others don't. But I think you'll enjoy it

New people joined VItaGAF because they've heard/seen good things about the Vita from people like us, which is part of the reason why this thread is so popular. Who are you going to discuss the Vita with if nobody buys it?I'm here because I like discussing the Vita with other gaffers.
I'm not here to be PR for Sony and market the Vita to others

But I revel in my foolishness. You could probably find one of my addresses if you looked hard enough. If I had a stalker I would totally talk to them and see if they wanted to hang out. I could have sworn I owned The Impossible Game on PSP and Android. I'll just rebuy the Mini's whenever I go to get money for Sparkle.Is coolasj19 even your real alias??
This is complete nonsense and whoever came up with it / whoever decided it needed to be a thing needs to lose their adminship.
If anyone still wants Vita related discussions you can still visit us over at Reddit.
Where's the bigboss pic?! Someone go cap the vita version for us!
Things should be okay, hopefully. We in this together vitabros
