Which one is more fun!?! I wish there was a GG demo because that's the game I have no experience with.

Blazblue is coming to ps+ plus this month, currently waiting on that. GG plus R handles well for the vita, no competition to using a stick, but its good for what it is. I have no idea how the other versions of GG fare on the vita.

BB is easier to get into from what I've played on the console versions, although personally I've enjoyed GG's offerings more.

Top of page recommendations: P4G(duh) Mens Room Mayhem (its only a dollar!) and, IMO, the most under appreciated fighting game port/collection on handhelds, Darkstalkers Chronicles: The Chaos Tower. Animation is amazing as expected, looks pretty good and controls great.

 

[corrosivefrost]

did they really only give out the PSV version of Germinator?

Yea, it wasn't a Cross-Buy title.

What do you like about GG over BB?

 

[kassatsu]

Ok Yu-Nama The Puzzle and Passing Time are some actual quality on PSM. Buy both!

 

[Not-So-Solid Snake]

What do you like about GG over BB?

I prefer the characters, music, and art style of guilty gear more. And even though BB is easier imo, I appreciate how guilty gear feels like the more technical game, just my personal opinion. Shame there isnt a demo for either game for people to compare them to each other.

For those of you on the fence about Men's Room Mayhem, let me show you it's worth getting.

 

[VanWinkle]

I tried an online match of FFA. The system fell asleep while loading, and then I woke it up and it lost connection since it fell asleep. Off to try it again. Loading times are not good. If you play it, remember to move the analog stick around or something while you're waiting for it to load.

Soooo, no glory hole??

 

[MichaelCorleone]

I only have the 1st blazblu I don't like the character design. Arc does make great games Persona4Arena is fucking fantastic!

Mens room mayhem looks retarded who wants to play a game about shooting green piss streams from your mouth.

 

[xenoflux2113]

Soooo, no glory hole??

No purchase.

 

[MichaelCorleone]

I was wrong it looks fun based on BlueMaximas video.
Thats what I get for judging a game by screenshots.

 

[Laughing Banana]

Soooo....... if I want to enjoy FF Tactics in my Vita, which version to buy? The PSP or the PS1 version?

The PSP gets extra content IIRC?, but the slowdown was horrific...

 

[Shoyz]

Haven't played enough of Men's Room to know for sure yet, but it seems like it has a mission system very reminiscent of Jetpack Joyride..is there any way to be credited for those missions without going AFK for a minute until you lose? I can only assume quitting and resetting won't credit you. It's really weird that it goes on endlessly, never crediting you for missions until you lose. Why would I keep going?

Edit: BlueMaxima's video shows quitting and starting over works. Still a really weird format to need to quit to advance.

 

[Not-So-Solid Snake]

Arc does make great games Persona4Arena is fucking fantastic!

Ive said it before, but there needs to be a P4A for vita, the way the game controls, would feel great on the vita. It would easily be the best feeling handheld fighting game.

Also damn, Mens room Mayhem gets really hectic at the higher levels!

 

[spannicus]

Man I would love a post apocolyptic Wipe Out game on the Vita

 

[MichaelCorleone]

Hell Yeah P4A Vita & KOFXIII Vita = 2d fighting game nirvana

 

[cafemomo]

So it men's room mayhem worth the 97 cents?

 

[wilflare]

Hell Yeah P4A Vita & KOFXIII Vita = 2d fighting game nirvana

wait there's P4Arena Vita?!

 

[Shoyz]

No D-Pad support in Germinator? :L

 

[MichaelCorleone]

No we are wishing every body buy Vita Atlus & Arc games lets make it happen.

 

[Number45]

I had some real problems with it ... but you need to hide among the garbage. and use the time thingum to your benefit

Yeah after the first couple of failed attempts it was obvious what I needed to do, but the movement of the garbage is erratic.

 

[2+2=5]

Yesterday i tried the holy sorcery story japanese demo, what a cute(in a good way, i usually don't like too "cute" games) and charming dungeon crawler!
For those who dont' know this is hss

So what's all this about RaC?

 

[bobbytkc]

So what's all this about RaC?

Bad port. Don't buy. Try men's room mayhem for a dollar instead.

 

[tamaster92]

Damn :/

 

[Chance Hale]

Does RaC always run at that resolution in-game? For example Sigma 2 looked great most of the time but pre-patch(and still to some degree) it would drop the resolution to a similar level when things got crazy or certain ninpos/executions.

Can't believe it though, what a shame. Seems to look worse than the Agent Clank game :/

 

[rainking187]

I played Men's Room Mayhem for a few minutes and didn't really like it much, but I guess I'll probably give it another shot later.

 

[SmokyDave]

Jesus christ, remove those R&C screens before the jaggies tear through GAF and all of our words fall into some horrendous void.

 

[Treythalomew]

I am usually ok with subpar framerates but Ratchet and Clank is a pain to play. The gesture of giving Deadlocked for the delay doesn't really make up for the fact that the vita version is garbage.

It takes over a minute to get from launch to main menu with about half of that watching a loading icon. Even the audio sounded really weird.

Even the icon looks rushed and is basically a 16x9 image smashed to fit.

Then i just took this when I was tired of playing. It's a shame that the screenshots don't show how bad it looks in motion.

 

[Laughing Banana]

The (seemingly) badness of RnC port makes everyone ignored my question ;___________;

Huh, the RnC game is that bad, huh?

 

[DiscoJer]

I played Men's Room Mayhem for a few minutes and didn't really like it much, but I guess I'll probably give it another shot later.

That's kind of the trouble with this thread, people love almost everything....as long as it has a decent frame rate, at least.

 

[wilflare]

is it strange that I like the Dungeon Crawl of P4G now... I just love maxing out the Skillsets of each and every Persona...

just hope I have enough Yen to keep fusing... I keep losing track of possible combinations

 

[2+2=5]

Maybe r&c was a psp game that was announced as a vita game as a mistake

 

[Chance Hale]

Needs more screenshots, I want to experience the disappointment first hand.

 

[tamaster92]

Who did the port?

 

[bobbytkc]

Who did the port?

I'll quote a previous post

No, it's an unknown dev called Tin Giant with some former Insomniac employees. And I guess the delays were because TG was having problems, and ultimately wasn't up to the task.

Too bad it is a bad port, since underneath the technical issues, it is actually a good game. It is still a good deal for people playing on the PS3.

 

[FYC]

Just beat

Spoiler

Land of the Livid Dead

in Rayman Origins. Really, really fun, but I was under the impression it was extremely difficult from reading a few GAF posts. Definitely a challenge and I died a lot, but I didn't find it too hard.

Stealth bragging aside, I would highly recommend the game to anyone who likes platformers. It's undoubtedly one of the best platformers this generation.

Okay, what game do I get next fellas :V I own

• Uncharted (<3)
• Gravity Rush (<3)
• PSABR (<3)
• Wipeout 2048 (<3)
• Rayman Origins (<3)
• Tales from Space MBA (<3)
• Madden 13 (Meh)
• Silent Hill BoM (BLEH)

Thinking of going with Soul Sacrifice next, or trying to platinum some of these. Only two I have platinumed are GR and Tales from Space, although the latter technically doesn't have a platinum, but y'know. I should note I've never played Monster Hunter, although I've heard Soul Sacrifice is actually fairly different from MH, but what do I know.

Edit: Yo, dat ratchet...

 

[nampad]

For once I am happy that the US update is one day before the on in the EU or else I would have bought Ratchet and Clank. Really disappointing port.

Ok Yu-Nama The Puzzle and Passing Time are some actual quality on PSM. Buy both!

Can you elaborate on Yu-Nama The Puzzle? I don't know much about the PSP game (What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord?) it was based on but someone here raved about it quite a a lot, so I am interested. How faithful is the port and are there in app purchases?

Bought Passing Time because of Honeyslug, it is a nice diversion. Gameplay is simple but fun and kinda reminds me of Sensible Soccer. The defense and goalkeeper are a tad too bad. Like other PSM games, compared to an iOS game it is a little bit to pricey.

First things first, get persona 4 and play the ss demo.

I've finished Persona 4 on PS2 and it's my second favorite game ever, only reason I don't get P4G is I don't feel like putting so much time into it again at the moment. Maybe some day.

Will go check out the SS demo. Thanks!

Goddamn. This looks like a DS game at best.

Spitting coffee all over the place. This is absolutely horrible, I was really looking forward to this game, too...

Whoa, it looks WORSE in motion?? That's a first.
Usually games that show disgusting jaggies in screenshots (like Gravity Rush) look way better in motion. How disappointing.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Men's Room Mayhem is up on the EU store.

£1.99, £1 for PS+.

 

[nampad]

Men's Room Mayhem is up on the EU store.

£1.99, £1 for PS+.

Wow, why so "expensive" compared to the US release ($1.39, PS+ $0.97)? Yes, I know it is still cheap but still a really bad price conversion, even worse than 1:1. Europeans pay twice as much (&#8364;2.49, PS+ &#8364;1.25).
Now I am not sure if I want to buy it because I feel ripped off.

 

[erpg]

Thanks for sacrificing your wallets on Ratchet, folks. I was once curious about it.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

OK I grabbed Atelier, hopefully you guys were right!

Damn that is terrible. I mean yeah it's still super cheap but that exchange rate is practically backwards

 

[Certinty]

Will download R&C for the Vita now then sell my PS3 copy. Horrible game it seems.
