LBPV was pretty decent. The story was fun at first, but playing through it again it feels boring. I was quite disappointed with it, since I waited a year for it. Don't get me wrong, I loved it, but it just felt like a disappointment. Also, the loading times. Don't get me started on the loading times......
Man, the loading times are so much better now. With all the multiple patches, loading times have been easily halved!
Thinking about buying toucch my katimari, any one have it?
Put quite a few hours into Gravity Rush in the last few days, it's a lot of fun. The gameplay is addictive and the world and story are very engaging so far. Highly recommended from what I've seen. The art style is really nice as well. The pic' below is just concept art I believe, but I thought it reflects well on the mechanics of the game.

Gravity rush is an amazing game! Beat the story. Pretty long game for only the story missions. If you do everything else is half of the story time and even more if you buy the dlc packs. the story is about 8 hours. The side missions all together is about 4 hours and the dlc so far should be about the same as the side missions. so it would take 16 hours all together. Pretty long game for an adventure on the Vita.
Ooh, nice thread. I'm considering buying a Playstation Vita, myself, but I wish there were more games to solidify the purchase. I mean, I know that the handheld does have a number of games available despite what some people say, it's just that a lot of them seem to have gotten mixed reviews or aren't what I'm really looking for. So far, there are two games that stand out as must-buy titles: LBP Vita and Gravity Rush. There's also a bunch of downloadable content to play on the Vita's PSN shop, although I'd have to then pay extra for some expensive, proprietary memory card. (Although I guess I'd need to pay for one anyway..) I guess it'd be worth it though, since Sound Shapes and Escape Plan look pretty cool, plus being able to access psOne classics is awesome. (Although I don't think we get many options here in the states.)
There's also Tearaway and Soul Sacrifice which are yet to be released, although it's hard to predict how Soul Sacrifice will end up, and details on Tearaway have remained slim since its initial announcement back at Gamescom.
So, what other cool games are out for the system? :p
I reccomend you:Quote:

-Uncahrted: Golden Abyss is another great Vita exclusive. Definitely the best graphics and awesome gameplay. Not as good as Uncharted 3 but pretty awesome still.
As part of the Vita's birthday sale 4 games are being given away free for a week (NA region only)

If you don't have a Vita you can use the Media Go application as a work around. http://mediago.sony.com/enu/features
Why there are only demos of those free games? Seriously, I can't find the full games.Quote:

Sound Shapes is neat, if a bit insubstantial. The awesome campaign is very short, and the challenge modes after it are tedious. The create mode is really awkward because it forces you to use the rear touch for some stupid reason.
Jetpack Joyride is a waste of time. A polished and mildly fun waste of time but a waste of time nonetheless.
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward and Persona 4 Golden both looks incredibly interesting, but I haven't gotten the chance to play them yet. How are they?
Are you looking on the store on a Vita? They've restricted the free games to those accessing on the Vita but you can get around it by using Media Go on your PC.Quote:

I can't change my account on the Vita. Also I had no idea that I can download the games using Media Go. I didn't use it for ages! I guess now it's time to install that crap.Quote:

Must have VITA games.
PS3/Vita Cross-play/buy
Sly 4. Beautiful game on vita. May not look as good on the ps3 but everything is the same as the one on the ps3. :3
Ratchet and Clank Full Frontal Assault. Great 20$ game on PS3. It may have not been out for vita yet but so far, if they delayed it the game would be having high hopes. Any R&C fan shouldn't miss this unless you are not a fan of tower defenses. If you more of a single player R&C gamer then this wouldn't be that great but at least the levels are pretty long. The game does give you free maps and dlc skins for about a dollar or 2!That and you get deadlock hd for free when the vita version releases. :D
Wipeout 2048. Fun racing game. Go against PS3 users on vita is a nice touch. Better than the PS3 wipeout. Party is great for this game too.
Play Station All Stars Battle Royal. Fun game. nuff said.
3rd party games
Rayman origins. Fantastic game on the vita, the game lets you collect more than the console versions and uses touch screen to zoom in! You also have time trial challenges too. Better than the console versions if you don't care about multiplayer.
Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3
Exactly like UMVC3 on home consoles but can use touch controls or use near to have special colors like herald or the gold version of it. Party is better in this game thanks to lobbies! You can still watch other games in lobbies or have an option to not watch it at all.
Vita only games
Uncharted Golden Abyss. Beautiful looking game on vita. Everything feels like uncharted. Give it a try if you haven't played it yet.
Gravity rush. Too many things to mention about this wonderful game.
Assassin Creed 3: Liberation. Great game. Looks amazing, gameplay is extremely good. If you were expecting multiplayer...Skip it!
Bought Virtua Tennis for really cheap. Have most of the trophies now just have to get the last online one... seems it takes ages unless ya grind with someone... God online trophies suck. It's a pretty good game though not brilliant. There are definitely better sports games though there is a surprising amount of depth with the different play-styles and working out what works well against what. My thumbs are literally growing calluses from the amount of pressure I'm putting on the buttons though! The face buttons on the PSP were nicer. How nice the games looks keeps surprising me, the animations are very good. Same as all Vita games I guess.
Really wish I had a bigger memory card, 4GB just doesn't cut it. I'm not buying a bigger card until they drop in price though!
Looking forward to MGS: HD Collection on PS+ in a few days :D. Hoping to get Sly soon and haven't started Wipeout yet.
So I was playing Coconut Dodge Revitalised on my Vita, and the game makes no sense whatsoever. There's all these coconuts and bits of treasure falling from the sky, yeah.. what's that all about? Anyway, you're a crab, dodge the coconuts, get the treasure. Why!? You're a crab, why do you need all that treasure? Planning to buy a bigger shell or something?
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a37...ps4105e04b.jpg
And to make matters worse the crab apparently has super powers which allows it to move at incredible speeds. This is never explained, why does it have these powers? And why doesn't it use them to go somewhere safe? I don't like this crab, I think it has some sort of ulterior motive. I don't know, maybe world domination? Or something even more sinister.
I'll be trying Rayman Origins later, I'm sure that will make much more sense.
Did you buy Limbo on PS3 at some point?
Congratulations you get a free Vita version.
Oh really? I didn't think they'd do that. I think I received it on PS+ or something, will have to check. It was a lot of fun, very unique game.Quote:

The final boss can out of nowhere and acts as if it has ADHD, which will be hell since the lock-on was wonky. Other than that, the only other problem I have with it is that the story, while it's great, it has many plot holes and it's a bit inconsistent. Other than that, the game is amazing. The visuals are beautiful, soundtrack's awesome, all of the other bosses were fun (especially Yunica), and this concept is the most original thing I've seen on a recent game. Hope the plot and controls get more fleshed out in the sequel.
Uncharted Golden Abyss:Certainly not as good as the main trilogy, but still a fairly decent game. It uses the Vita's screen nicely. Does get really unfair at points (I HATE the part where you have to protect Chess while she's climbing the ladder, **** snipers...). I don't like it's "unnatural phenomenon", I mean, really? Overall, pretty decent game.
Games I really dislike on the Vita:
-Modnation Racers: On the Road: Downgrade from PSP version. Adds literally nothing new, all unlockables are the same. And worse, there's no online racing
-Touch My Katamari: Nothing but stages took directly from previous Katamaris. Makes sense in Forever, but not here. The story is just a rehash from We <3 Katamari
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is probably my favorite Vita game so far. If anyone owns a Vita, this game is a must buy.
Persona 4 Golden is amazing. One of my favourite RPGs of all time, and I haven't even gotten very far yet. If you're even thinking about buying it... do it. You won't be disappointed.Quote:
