Thoughts on Knytt, guys?

It's better than I expected, but still not great. Not too bad for free, an I like it a lot more than Big Sky and Chronovolt, but not worth £10 imo.

EDIT: Oooh, look at me, top of the page! Buy Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, Virtue's Last Reward and Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus.

Also ignore everything Totobeni says about everything.
 
I'd want to be top of my friends list, but that one guy on my list on drugs kinda makes me lose motivation. Still I'll take on all challenges!

When did you try the pitwall trophy? For me is was within the first week of the game releasing


Oh and Schlobeth. Do this. Play on the Vita with your account and your secondary on PS3. That way you can respond to challenges really quickly. Just do a lame time on your secondary account. Challenge. Barely beat with your main. Then again barely beat with you secondary. Challenge. Repeat

Doing it on Vita and PS3 at the same time makes it miles faster.

The problem is the challenge messages don't work between PS3 and Vita. I was sending them via a PM. Although, if I just challenged it in game via the pitwall menu, it would do the same thing? I'd just have to do 10 separate challenges/races, instead of being able to do it 10 times on the same track, like with two accounts on the PS3? It really is a pain in the balls though, I really, REALLY hate online trophies.

Yes, this is basically what I'm saying with the procedure above.

I think if you have a challenge in the game itself from a friend (add me and I'll send one if you want [later]), you can just keep doing that if you don't delete it.

With my method, you just have to change the person or the track so you get 10 different combinations.

Challenge friend A on track 1. Beat it.
Challenge friend B on track 1. Beat it.
Challenge friend C on track 1. Beat it.
Challenge friend A on track 2. Beat it.
Challenge friend D on track 3. Beat it.

Rinse, repeat.
 
I feel sort of bad for you American guys :(

Then I remember you have burnout legends, ragnarok, dj max and persona.

I wonder how many people bought this on PSP. 10?

The PSP emulation is godlike on the Vita. The scaling mitigates most of the resolution issues (still looks blurry but not as jarring as you would expect) and the high end games like Ghost of Sparta/Arctic Edge/GT still look pretty crazy right now. I'm getting a hard on imagining what these devs will come up with once they get around to making full blown Vita versions. Especially hanging out for a Motorstorm game - it's just perfect for handheld play.

Unfortunately, BigBig was behind Arctic Edge and they were shut down earlier this year. : / The reviews for that game are pretty ??? since I absolutely adored it. It was gorgeous and felt exactly like the PS3 games (less rubber banding though) with a new setting.

So what's the general consensus from you guys on Spy Hunter for Vita? Reviews aren't great, agree with them?

It's $20 at Gamestop right now IIRC.

Hey Vitabros, I've joined the 32gb club! And whilst I'm glad to have all this storage, I'm here to bitch. At least 4 hours of my day has been wasted backing up my 16gb card to my PC, and then moving it back to the new 32gb card.

Why is this so fucking slow? D:

Sony can't seem to do any of this stuff without a problem and I have no idea why. I guess they just don't get software like MS does, which makes sense I guess since MS makes windows and other software.

Anyone want to play the Soul Sacrifice demo sometime today/tonight?

I would but I can't. I'm still trying to unlock the multiplayer!

Man hope NGS is a PS+ soon.

Yeah. Looks great kinda interesting but I don't wanna make the plunge :p

Does it get more interesting than just traversing a largely empty world doing oddjobs for people? I had to delete it to make room for MK. :/

If you've somehow managed to never play Jetpack Joyride before, you should give it a go. Works well on Vita. Can use back touch too which is better than front touch

Few screenshots:


Out now on European store, out 31st of December on US Store. Free (with pointless microtransactions - just paying for coins and shit)

Has PSN trophies and leaderboards.

It's these little things that make it so frustrating at the time, which is a shame because I think the general Vita experience is much better than on most devices, including Xbox 360.

At any rate, it's done now, so I can get to downloading games onto my card. I bet I still run out of space...

Are avatar and such available for purchase through the online SEN store? I'm starting to think they'll never appear on the Vita.

Seriously, it's all sorts of stupid. I'm particularly mad that DJMAX Portable 3 isn't $19.99 anymore, especially with Technika Tune finally released. It used to be that price for the longest time, but now it's back to some inflated retail price that only
enlightened
diehards will consider. There really don't need to be price barriers for such relatively niche titles.

I think more rhythm fans should play the DJMAX series because I personally find many other popular music games lacking in terms of note chart quality, audiovisual feedback, and arcade philosophy. I feel like the button-based Portables show off carefully crafted note patterns a bit better than Technika Tune does, too, because of inherent design differences.

It's dumb that Fever isn't on the store anymore, either, but DJMP3 is way better anyway. It'd also be great if we got Clazziquai on PSN by some miracle since it's another cohesive, accessible DJMAX entry that won't instantly overwhelm new players and lacks any auto-correct bullshit.

Sighhhhh.

Didn't really get on with Mortal Kombat, I always like the idea of fighting games, but end up sucking at them and not bothering. I may go back to it later when the well is dry and I have nothing else left to play.

Still torn on Knytt though, I like the concept and lost a good hour to it before going to hospital earlier, but it doesn't pull me back in now I am not playing it.

Someone please tell me they've made the mistake of plugging the charger into the Vita the wrong way up. >.<

I've read that mistake many times during launch, dont worry. A common mistake upon new Vitabros. *Pats your Vitabro noob back*

Gravity Rush is good but not great. I'm glad it is on PS+. I don't think I would have ever payed full price for it.

Okay I'm home now so I can answer this.

2.5 seconds ahead in the first race
19 seconds ahead in first world
2:43 ahead overall

He's on drugs...

Ouch... No clue where I'd improve 7 seconds in the first world to get to his world 1 time.
