>>8744623

Hot Shots Golf you can pick up for about $12 now I think, brand new too. The only reason I haven't picked it up yet is sort of "just because."

Superbeat: XONIC is a pretty solid rhythm game. There's no bullshit or anything, it lets you just jump straight into the action as does DJ MAX Technika Tune. It has a solid 52 song soundtrack in the Vanilla game, and there are 3 DLC song bundles out now too. 3 songs in each bundle.

Fuck off, shills and take your shitran with you.

>>8745285

Then start threads talking about video games instead of shitposting, faggot.

So I have an EU account and US version of SK:EV. If I buy a eu verion on psstore, will I be able my present save file? I want dem dlc, but creating new account is a bit of hassle.

>>8745365

>>8745445

It depends. Usually, it won't work.

> PLAYAN

Operation abyss. I just started the second semester. I don't know if I even like the game all that much. It just reeks of weird bullshit design decisions. Like what's the point of paying for identifying when you can do it for free yourself with a chance of a short temporary debuff that's trivial to deal with, the whole chip item drop system takes way too long to deal with every time when all it does it add extra button presses since in 20 hours I've not failed one besides the ones I've failed on purpose to see what happens. When someone dies there's way too many menus you need to navigate to revive them when there's no reason that the ICU, status removal and rest couldn't be under one option. Some of the dungeons are really fucking annoying and the hardest thing about the game is finding where to go and most of the time the boss battles are easier than random battles which are not hard either and I've not been grinding for a second. Also I really don't like that you can't pick your target.

Other things I should look into playing more are Superbeat Xonic and Disgaea 4 which I last played in 2014. I should also start Danganronpa 2.

> WANTAN

Trillion and Aegis of earth maybe if it's ever out for EU.

> BEATAN

Nothing in a long time, I picked up my Vita for the first time in about a year just a few weeks ago

>>8745365

I bought a physical NA copy of Muramasa when it was released, played it through and then when it was later released on EU and a PS+ game I remember downloading it and having to play through it again.

>>8745737

Reading your complaints about Operation Abyss make me feel glad I didn't fall for the shills trying to lie and tell me the game is good yet, and also makes me feel glad I cancelled my pre-order of Stranger from Sword City, which I'm sure would've been more of the same.

Boss fights less difficult than random battles? Just revolting.

Why do people around here feel the need to suck the shit out of the ass of every game on the vita, even the bad ones? Why do they need to lie when I ask for buying advice? "yeah bro the game is hella hard, Operation Abyss is just what you're looking for" fuck you no it's not. why can't you just tell me "yeah the game's not so good".

JRPG's are the kind of thing where you can't just watch a video to see if it's gonna be a good time or not. You have to play it to know. So for people to fuck me around about it just really sucks and I don't trust anyone's praise for anything around here anymore.

>>8745795

Even if the things I listed bother me a lot I still want to play more of the game for whatever reason. It's not that I feel obligated to finish it because I bought it since I have no problem dropping a game I don't care for. I really hope SfSC is not more of the same and from what I've seen it doesn't seem to be. I'll still buy it because I like DRPGs a lot and Vita is the absolute perfect place to play them.

The difficulty and battles are a really big bummer in OA. I constantly find myself wanting more from the battles. Every time I get into a boss fight and see the "Caution Save" memos on the ground I get excited. Then I apply buffs and shit and kill the boss by accident in a few turns and it's the biggest anti-climx ever. Demon Gaze had harder fights than this game so far.

God fucking damn it. I'm at it again. That fucking interface for pc. This was fucked up on purpose.

Can't even delete a game and keep saves on vita. Motherfuckers.

>>8745914

>Waifu

>Male

The word you're looking for is husbando.

>>8745978

waifu works all the same.

>>8745968

What the fuck is wrong with the black-haired girls eyes?

Why the fuck are they eating panties? I get its a metaphor for wedgies and such, but this isn't sexy at all. I'm pretty sure 3 of those girls are going to throw up.

I'm going back to my hentai where they beat each other like rented mules thank you.

>>8745995

They lost a contest so they have to keep panties in their mouths for a certain amount of time.

It's not meant to be sexy, it's meant to be silly just like most of the game.

>>8746038

Fuck, didn't mean to double post that image.

>>8745985

I think the story is the main thing that it has going for it. The setting is fairly unique and most of the main characters are good and there's some intrigue.

The side characters are fucking cancer though holy shit. Fucking half Texan japanese guy who wants to be a comedian and they really dropped the fucking ball with his dialog translations or maybe it's supposed to be like this but either way I cringe every time. Same with the fucking black fatass teacher, I really don't get his character at all thought I think he's in on the shit going on in the game so maybe it'll make sense. Also most of the time when there's a yes or no question I have no idea what I'm actually answering but most of those don't matter anyway so whatever and there's a lot of really weirdly worded things in some of the menu options. All of that makes me think there was something going on with the localization. Whether it was just inaptitude or really complicated source material I can't say but making a joke about how Socrates would be called Soccerates if he liked soccer or whatever has to be the worst joke I have ever heard IN MY FUCKING LIFE and it's not like it's so bad it's good, it somehow manages to trancend that and go back to being just bad again. I supposed the same joke could be in japanese but fuck man.

Luckily the side characters are side characters and the main characters are enjoyable. I really hope that by the end they do good on the blank spots in the story because if they do it could be really good.

I just bought a Vita today for 200$ beaver bucks and got tossed in a game that I'm completely clueless of what it might be, Soul Sacrifice.

Considering high chan activity, how fucked my social life is from now on?

>>8746352

I no longer have any choice in what order I buy games thanks to vita. I'm actually really enjoyingh E&L+, but did I want to have to hurry and buy it before the scalpers? Non and this happens for tons of english releases if you want physical copies. The Japanese must have it easy.

>>8746389

Vita has been my social life. I actually used to go out every weekend (and lots of weekdays) and live an incredibly reckless lifestyle, but after letting myself get absorbed in Japanese games and animation. I don't even find that enjoyable anymore.

I went to a birthday party at a bar and it was so lame that I just sat there and ate so many painkillers and anxiety pills it would put a normal person out. I did see a couple people I care about and had fun talking with them, but still.

>>8746511

Dungeon Travelers 2 is like $25 (or $15 non english) and Toukiden Kiwami is $21

P4DAN LE is $45 and Corpse Party BD LE is still $30. Socery Saga's LE is only $20 in case you need a bib too.

>>8746521

same

only difference is alcohol IS my anxiety and painkiller medicine. i self-medicate with this shit. having a six pack and some london gin right now. the good stuff.

alcohol turns me from a silent retard to a fun loving talkative guy, life of the party, sexually active. no one knows my secret that i'm fucked in the head and jack off to animals

>>8745445

>>8745737

Just tried with SV, didn't work. Downloaded digital EU while physical US version was present, EU didn't see my saves.

I guess I won't wait for my EV physical version to arrive and buy a EU verions in sony store. Fucking consoles and their region locks. Vidya Sans Frontières when?

>>8746681

*oh the pic is goblin girl not horse girl, sorry

>>8746681

>Maybe buy Moero Chronicle.

don't start this

>>8746768

People have been discussing buying Monster Monpiece. If it's the fanservice they want MC does it way better. It's not a great game by any means, but can be a fun little time waster and might cater to his animal fetish, since one of the first party members you get looks like a fucking horse.

I think i might play it for a little bit just to spite you. I find it a fun way to kill a lttle time here and there.

>>8746986

I really am looking forward to getting it over with to move onto DT2, which seems superior in every way though.

>>8746986

No, I think the game looks good, though I haven't gotten it yet, the anon you were replying to gets really autistic over drpgs.

>>8747001

Moe chronicle is fun but boringly simple. DT2 is fantastic in every regard.

>>8747073

>Every girl in ToCS is the best girls

I really can't stand Millium, but I'm pretty sure that's because of her VA.

>>8747103

I play with voices turned off. Just like TitS.

>>8747118

I have a really high tolerance for voice acting and don't mind most of the characters but I skip Millium's lines as fast as I can read them.

>>8747137

I haven't heard her (or pretty much anyone's) voice in the game, but she as a character seems just wrong. Anime - the character.

Good in combat though.

>>8747183

I've seen it's ashley burch, but that's just people on gamefaqs guessing when I looked it up. Apparently it's a union VA and they didn't credit her.

>>8747073

were they all in some sort of very specific fire where it only reached just above their knees or what the fuck is that shit on their legs?

>>8747089

Too bad I can't stand DT2's artstyle and stuff like the UI design. Also I'm not a fan of the kind of fan service that it deals in. I like it to be a little less overbearing. I think Demon Gaze is about the style and volume of fan service that I like.

>>8747243

>were they all in some sort of very specific fire where it only reached just above their knees or what the fuck is that shit on their legs?

>>8747923

>the VA took him and totally made him his own

Outside of Grigori's English VA in Dragon's Dogma, there has never been another case where this ended up a good thing.

>>8744623

>kind of want to pick up Hot Shots Golf

Kind of? KIND OF? Nigga, you ABSOLUTELY want to pick up Hot Shots Golf. It is THE fucking game to play.

>>8745956

I think that may be the best deal you'll ever find.

>>8748688

Strangely enough, I've still yet to pick that up, despite seeing it for under $10 multiple times. How fun is it singleplayer? or is there a decent multiplayer mode? online? local?

>>8745365

Not going to work. Every game has a specific sales identification code that's region coded. While the games themselves aren't region locked, data like saves and DLC will not be able to carry to different regions. You can't buy EU DLC for your US copy of Estival Versus—you'll need to make a US account and purchase US DLC for that US copy of the game.

Likewise, everyone here that's buying things like Moero Chronicles or DOAX3 will have to have an Asia/Hong Kong PSN account to buy dlc for those games.

>>8749387

Kill yourself. You are the cancer on this site.

>>8745795

Couple of things, here

>JRPG's are the kind of thing where you can't just watch a video to see if it's gonna be a good time or not.

Actually you can know mostly what you're in for by digging through videos. The problem standing is a lot of videos out there are hardly clear on what you're getting into with any non-action game. Example being I can't find a Trillion video that gets into the meat of the game, so far. Either that, or the game just consists of menus, which I"m not attracted to at all.

Going a bit further, remembering last thread how incredibly picky with dungeon crawlers you are, I'm amazed you bothered to inquire to anyone at all concerning the RPG subgenre. You know your tastes more than we do. So it needs to be you making any and all decisions on what you enjoy. Some people here enjoyed Op Abyss, some people hated it. Not every niche game is going to be a guaranteed good time for every person.

>>8746352

Stop doing that to yourself. Pick one out the pile and put an hour in it.

>>8749413

You're right and wrong. For whatever reason some games are literally the same exact ID between regions… the English Asian release of Soul Sacrifice Delta works with the NA DLC and Online Pass, though that's somewhat redundant since the only way to get the Online Pass is to buy the digital NA release in the first place.

Likewise, the English Asian release of Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth works with the EU DLC - though NA DLC does NOT work with it.

There are a few more examples. It's complicated.

>>8747552

Not crediting voice actors (or forcing them to use a pseudonym) goes back quite a ways, and even some of the more popular, notable voice actors used to get that treatment a lot. To use an example, in Shadow Hearts Covenant (just using that one since I played it recently), the really recognizable voices (Kari Wahlgren, Stephenie Sheh, Jamieson Price, Michelle Ruff, etc) are all only credited under psuedonyms, while the much lesser known ones (Ardwight Chamberlain, Amos Nandy, etc) got their actual names there. Michael McConnohie being an exception where he's done a lot of work, is recognizable, and still got his name listed properly.

Not sure if Japan has a similar way of handling things with their seiyuus, or if fans there would throw a fit about a recognizable voice not being given due credit.

>though I hope it isn't her at all anyway. Her & her brother both are scum and corrupt/ruin/fuck-up just about any game or project they're involved in

I expect she keeps getting roles possibly due to being a cheap hire and her brother being able to invoke nepotism and help her land jobs.

>>8750754

>Not sure if Japan has a similar way of handling things with their seiyuus

They do. Most Seiyuu have done some iteration of hentai. It's just never brought up in conversation as it's not polite and reputations and all that. Some are insanely obvious, as is evident by the near-score of straight-from-eroge releases where the VAs aren't switched at all. To Heart, Kanon, Kiminozo, Grisaia, Fate (to its credit, does not have any voiced porn scenes although, again, all of the seiyuu there have done a hentai at some junction), Shuffle, Majokoi, Koihime Musou, etc etc etc.

>>8749788

There are some exceptions, yes. But the common rule is that the IDs stay tied to region in most cases.

>>8751245

>Most Seiyuu have done some iteration of hentai.

Well, I can certainly see why in regards to that. Even with English dubbing, I'm not sure certain western voice actors would want it all that known that they voiced for hentai (such as Dan Green's "Cluck like a chicken").

I meant more in the way of Japanese voicing for normal shows/games, whether they've had to go through being uncredited or forced to use false names for those like English voice actors out here had to for a good while.

>>8751394

Hiyama voiced one of the traits in AA2 and Sugita does BL drama CD. Koyasu creep the fuck out of Akira Ishida during a BL recording to the point he records by himself

>>8751565

>Sugita does BL drama CD

He plays a seal modeled after a penis too!

I actually thought people saying Moe Chronicle had such great voice acting was some type of joke, until I found that part out.

CH does seem to get pretty good VAs overall though regardless.

>>8749450

>i come in to threads that i never intended to contribute to just to complain about nothing

>>8752265

>Overall probably the best game in the series.

Funny you say that. Just a few weeks ago, most people were saying the exact opposite. I knew it was just sour grapes because EV hadn't released yet, but it's still annoying to see the sudden 180 after a solid year of hearing how much better SK2 was.

>>8752881

toro's network actually shut down like a good year ago now, yeah. i was extremely upset, toro and kuro are two of the most adorable things i've ever seen and I NEED THEM IN MY LIFE MAN. i need them.

i think i was one of the guys who's going to play toukiden next month with you, i didn't know you could connect to the internet already otherwise i would have added you last night rather than wait. i'll send you a request tomorrow after some sleep.

PLAYAN

DT2 on the Otherworld Temple (6th?).

I'm halfway for the last trophy but now the monster grills are kicking my ass. Should I get the DLC for the 2exp so I can level faster?

>>8755437

>Should I get the DLC for the 2exp so I can level faster?

Debating this myself. Without my Bard boosting EXP, I end up with paltry numbers post-fight. I'm thinking of cutting down the team numbers to improve the rates, but that has its own drawbacks since not all the classes can weather mobs in lesser numbers (except my Dark Lord, Sage, & Valkyrie, who are fucking godly).

I say go for it. I have plans to pick up the extra characters later, if only because I'm going full-autism and want to try and specialize in all of the classes instead of just the Advanced ones.

>finally have the time to sit and transfer my shit on my old card to my new 64gb one

>first time dealing with the data transfer tool

Who thought this was a good idea? I'm glad I sprung for a 64gb card because I'll never have to do that transfer shit again.

>>8755816

why get DOAX3 and estival versus on vita if you're getting a ps4 soon?

>>8756276

F U C K I N G

S O N Y

>>8756349

EV is for PS4, DOAX3 is vita. I may go for complementary copies down the line.

>>8755437

Head's up if you're doing anything with your healers: Healing Mastery seems to be bugged. It gives NO bonuses. Tested this out on field and in battle. No bonuses to Circle Heal or Heal, though I haven't tried Full Heal.

>>8756375

The save/data system is completely retarded. Your saves and the game are tied together. You can't delete or move one without the other. Deleting games to make space? Say goodbye to your saves.

Backing up is time-consuming as shit as a result, since you're backing up ENTIRE GAMES unless you have the physicals. On top of that, according to an anon from last thread, the backup files you make through Sony's Vita client on your PC don't actually overwrite the previous backup—it makes additions. Meaning if you do backups quarterly, you're just bulking space onto your PC HDD or PS3/PS4 HDD.

And the transfer/backup process, as I said, takes hours. As in I hope you didn't have anything else to do as you will be there a while.

I have no idea what the hell Sony was thinking.

>>8756536

I ended up finding a way around the hours long wait after I was stuck waiting for the copy all option. You have to do it one at a time so instead of taking hours, it takes about half the time. It's still a pain in the ass and more work but between the choice of a little more work or a lot more time, I'll take the little more work any day of the week.

>>8757031

>64gb cards crapping out

This is the first time I'm hearing this. What are the odds of it happening?

>>8757031

>card crap out

I'm not certain. I haven't run into problems with my 64gb just yet, and kinda kicking myself for not getting insurance on the bloody thing. I know this topic has come up repeatedly in past Vita threads. The trick is, there are always going to be factory duds in goods. I've not heard of alarming rate numbers in any of the cards, so you should be able to buy with that much confidence. And going by what you're saying on your games, you probably need to put cash down on a 64gb.

Was thinking of a small 32gb myself, but I guess i'll get another 64gb when the chance happens.

>Katsuragi

She makes me diamonds every time.

>>8757084

would also like to know this. my 64 card came in the mail yesterday and i already have it halfway full.

>>8757031

>>8757084

>>8757682

I've never heard of 32's having any problem. If you have a 64gb card I wouldn't freak out about it, but I'd definitely save the packaging and receipts in case something does happen.

Someone really does need to look into all this shit. There's been tests on speeds of the different size cards, but as far as failure rate goes we're totally in the dark.

If someone knows Japanese maybe they can try to look into it. I wouldn't be surprised if websites over there have looked into it or tried to get an official response from Sony.

>>8759577

Imageepoch released Luminous Arc Infinity on the Vita 2 months after they released Stella Glow in Japan.

>>8757084

>>8757682

I've had mine since they released in Japan in 2013. Not had any problems with it at all, I've heard there are a few dodgy ones out there, but I'd imagine the percentage is probably quite small.

So is there a faster way to download updates for games? I've been sitting here downloading the update to Estival Versus for the past few hours and I've still got about three hours left.

>>8759577

Only Imageepoch game I've played thus far as been Sands of Destruction, and while it has some issues, has been pretty enjoyable to me (I just wish that Sega hadn't forced Kato to tone it down, as it resulted in some tone dissonance). Makes me sad to see them go under as well, and to my knowledge it's still unknown as to where their former CEO went.

Shame one of their PSP games, Sol Trigger, was never cleared for localization and is stuck in fan translation by a guy that admits he's more than a bit lazy (especially on actually posting updates) and needs volunteers for further translation and graphics editing (as far text within images goes). I've heard from a moonspeaker at a store around here that the game's a lot of fun.

>>8760067

>I've heard there are a few dodgy ones out there, but I'd imagine the percentage is probably quite small.

This.

I've had a 64GB card for about four months now, and I've never had a problem with it so far. I'm guessing the stories of malfunctioning 64GB cards are just prevalent because we're more likely to hear about the few times they fail than the thousands of times they don't. Now, I've heard people say 64GB cards don't even work at all with 1000 models, and I can't fathom what region of their asshole they pulled this out of because I have a 1000, and the 64GB card works just fine with it.

Can't play any EV tonight with you Vitabros but this week should work. I hear the multiplayer isn't strong on vita thoguh

>>8761424

Actually, reading more about it, it seems that Felistella pretty much made the whole game on their own. Apparently, it doesn't deviate from Imageepoch's format very much though.

I wonder who those devs are and if the game turned out any good. I didn't know who Aquria was until recently, but they seem to be pretty competent devs. (They're the ones who made SAO:HF and are working on Caligula)

>>8761424

all i can tell from your screenshot collage is "i buy every vita retail release regardless of quality" and "i love sucking the shit out of square's asshole"

also unrelated but the uncharted golden abyss icon is disturbing as fuck and i don't know why no one's ever commented on that.

nathan drake looks like a silent hill monster there. or something.

>>8761424

Yeah, from what I've heard of it (a friend did some research on the anime to avoid potential spoilers for me), the anime is an alternate take on things and varies a lot in a number of ways, including character personalities (such as Lady Rhi'a being rather soft spoken and kind in the game, while in the anime she's apparently quite bitchy).

What I'd like to know is why they opted for a Final Fantasy-esque CGI opening when the cover art, character art, and portraits are all anime styled. Reminds me a bit of that CG Edition of Tales of Hearts (minus there being any ingame FMVs aside from the opening in SoD), though the game at least is stand-alone rather than part of a series, so it doesn't feel as strange as that version of Hearts (as Tales has always been big on anime styling).

>Since Marvelous worked with them too I sent a message to XSeed just asking them to tell me that Luminous Arc Infinity isn't gonna happen. Playing Stella Glow and looking into Luminous Arc just really bummed me out and I just almost feel like I need to hear it.

Well, even if it doesn't happen at this time, perhaps somewhere down the line? There's been some cases where a game only gets cleared for localization a good three or more years after it originally came out. I suppose it depends on how much demand there is (might be wrong, but I don't think Luminous Arc has had much of a western audience; I rarely see LA1 or 2 for the DS around, let alone as complete copies) and if the localizer still has access to releasing things for the system at that point though.

>>8761588

I was just reading about Sands of Destruction and apparently it's non-localized name was World Destruction. I wonder why they felt it necessary to let be known that sand was doing the destroying. It almost makes it sound more like a Prince of Persia game that way. I guess, destroying the world does seem overrated and World Destruction would've made it sound like some type of military game anyway.

(Sorry for all the DS talk. White DS lites are only $20 and can still be bought on gamestop's website if anyone feels left out (or could be a couple hours ago. Not sure about now))

>>8748400

Vaas, Handsome Jack, there are others I can't remember and admittedly people only remember handsome jack because of the shit fit Burch threw over it.

>>8761978

>Then you don't have to worry a single bit over how much space you have, not for a long while, at any rate.

Depends on whether one's going to be going mostly physical where possible or digital all the way, and some games can take a lot of room. Might be wrong, but I hear that Atelier Sophie's over 7 GB on the Vita in Japan, which would certainly eat up a big chunk of memory on its own and is sadly slated as digital only again as far as the Vita version being localized goes.

>>8761843

Well, if memory serves, with Tales of Hearts on the DS, Namco made two variants one with the usual anime cutscenes and openings that the series has been known for, and one with CGI replacing those. Speculation was that maybe Namco was debating about localizing the CGI one if maybe they thought dropping the anime style would garner more western sales, but they never bothered with it (and I'm pretty damn sure the anime edition sold much better in Japan than the CGI one, which might have tied in).

There's also the fact that (while maybe it's just my system's screen, or perhaps the fact I'm using a Lite model) the opening looks really blocky and pixelated. If memory serves, the openings for various other DS games like FFIV and Avalon Code look a good bit better in my experiences, so maybe including an opening FMV was a bit of an afterthought, or they didn't have as much experience with trying to get a CGI one to still look good with the screen limitations (strikes me that it likely would have looked better rendered for the PSP screen; game requires two screens for combat at different heights though, so I can see why they went for the DS) as their other DS games all had anime openings to my knowledge.

>Yeah, I was kind of surprised that all three even got localized.

You mean two. Luminous Arc 3: EYES never came west (and if I had to guess, the fan translation's in hiatus). I'd guess Atlus wasn't satisfied with sales of the first two games and opted to leave the other game overseas (similar with Endless Frontier EXCEED not being brought over by them either after the prior game sold poorly here).

>>8761972

Well, there certainly is sand involved. I'd guess that Sega (or whoever they whored the localization process out to if it wasn't an internal one; while there's a few notable changes, it still strikes me as a decent localization job) thought the original name sounded really generic.

>Buy Vita yesterday because I want to drink that well of unlimited almost unknown jap games

>only retail game within the 5 avaliable that interest me is Soul Sacrifice

>meh, looks edgy lets buy it

>play the game

>its Monster Hunter with less grind meet Dante's Inferno

>Lore is pure sex

>game is pretty gud

Whoever wrote the lore knows his historical creations myths very well. Its not only informative, its also very intertaining to read, and I feel ashamed to not have known such a game existed before.

Thank you Vita General for getting me to buy that console just by discussing it. This looks like the beginning of a long journey into niche gaming, filling the crave I've had while being disapointed in more mainstream gaming scene.

>>8761107

I have it for the PS4.

You might want to use this video to help make a judgement call, though I'm not sure if the PSV version is that choppy.

>>8762340

Alright thanks, guess I'll just get the PS4 version just to be safe

>>8763178

you're a big autist

>>8763108

>Namco opted to not hold 8-4's leash as tight as they had prior

I'm still glad we got it in some form, but so many things about that game's localization just don't make any sense. I wish we got behind the scenes books like every other thing does. I really want to know more about so much stuff and it just seems like only the people involved will ever know.

>speculation that the name change

I could see how people would take it like that, but my assumption was it was something more like I robot or something whereas trying to say she's an individual and not just a sacrifice or like she's not being regarded as a normal person due to her duties, but her name is Setsuna and she is a person. I don't know. I'm probably wrong and reading too deep into it, with too little information, but regardless the whole thing is stupid. They had a great name until someone watched that stupid Will Smith movie and decided to fuck it up. The names definitely would appeal to different demographics. Maybe they just figure they'll get more sales from the crowd who will click on some short ass name to find out who Setsuna is rather than some poetic sounding name where the mystery behind it has a way different vibe. The strange thing is the original name is actually one of the things that captivated me about the game as details were being released. It just almost sounds like one of the books I'd read or something.

But, yeah, it seems like at this point Square Enix only cares about large amounts of money. It's pretty obvious that the games they're skipping the Vita versions for would make money, but it seems like their research shows that it's not enough to be worth their time or something. (But then again Hitman GO is coming to Vita, so I have no fucking idea what they're thinking. Maybe their market research regarding the Vita in western territories is just completely fucked or maybe they don't even have any. I have no clue what's going on at this point.)

>opening animation having a worse look than normal

I've found quite a few vita games to have OPs with noticeable compression. Nothing actually once the game starts. Just the opening videos that play before the title screen. I know there was some game with dual audio where the Japanese had noticeably lower audio quality too. I think it was Demon Gaze, but I'm not completely certain.

>CGI-ing the cutscenes would bring in more of a mainstream JRPG audience

Probably, it makes sense I guess that they want people to know they're buying something that has more in common to the Legend of Dragoon than Yu-Gi-Oh, but you'd still think there would be other ways to achieve that. (I think the last Star Ocean game or something similar had CGI character portraits instead of regular Anime ones, but I haven't played it yet, so don't quote me on that)

>I think I've heard rumor about English trophies being found

Yeah, I heard the same thing. If they do localize it then I need to worry if they actually bring the vita version too. I watched videos of it running on vita and that game actually looks damn good. It seemed to be some of the best graphics I've seen on the Vita in a pretty long time. The Vita version outsold the PS4 version pretty good in Japan too, so hopefully that's a sign that it's on more equal footing than things like "I Am Setsuna" and what I've heard about the Vita's load times and everything.

>>8763606

>I wish we got behind the scenes books like every other thing does. I really want to know more about so much stuff and it just seems like only the people involved will ever know.

You mean lore books for various games or just general details of how the games are actually localized? If the latter, I'm not sure how many companies really make it clear as to how they actually go about things. And hell, even some of the smaller localization teams are practical unknowns regardless of the quality they do (and I'd wager a lot of the older ones are either dead, or got merged into the more well known teams, or keep their heads down and just do their job; I'm still trying to find more out about Wordbox Inc. and ZPang America Inc., but details are pretty scant about both). With Hearts R I'd speculate that, considering Namco hadn't even had plans to localize more portable Tales games after Radiant Mythology, they simply didn't give a shit about how 8-4 handled it as long as they could say "well we tried to bring one over" at bare minimum, whereas with the console entries they seem to be more willing to make sure 8-4 does a decent job (especially since before Hearts R, they'd handled five or more games in the series at that point for Namco).

>Maybe their market research regarding the Vita in western territories is just completely fucked or maybe they don't even have any. I have no clue what's going on at this point.)

Has Square-Enix even bothered to localize much for the Vita at this point aside from FFX/X-2 HD and some (I think it was a) card based game that I admittedly can't remember the name of?

>>8763178

>hothead removed by hotpocket

Nice.

Y'know, I wonder if any of my PSN friends that don't know me that well think I'm Japanese, with all those import games I play?

Never thought about that.

>was wondering why Zero no Kiseki: Evolution rose in price on Play-Asia so suddenly (From $53 to $66)

well that's pretty scummy

>leopard print Blue Tundra

>>8766365

Soon you'll be kissing you vita like the rest of us.

Just make sure you have 1.9 gigs to download the update.

>>8766417

I had to get rid of some shit to make room for sure. This game is fucking massive. I've only got a 16 gig card and taking 5 gigs of it for one game is absurd. Between SK and Superbeat that's most of my space gone. Currently got 200 mb free.

>>8759577

>Meanwhile making Stella Glow multiplatform might have been a good idea, since Fire Emblem has completely overshadowed it.

If what you're saying is true, then Stella Glow would've been equally drowned out on the Vita by the sea of waifubait games we already have.

The thing is, I don't think similar games drown each other out when on the same systems, but rather they serve to attract customers with consistent tastes. If I had liked console FPSs, and am interested in two titles released on the same platform, then I'm more willing to buy that platform to get a chance to play both titles. For those exact reasons, Banjo and Kazooie do not conflict with Mario 64 or Conker simply because they're on the system, but rather serve as a bundle to attract those curious about 3D Platformers to the N64. The same is true for the waves of DRPGs, Persona clones, and Hunting games released on the Vita.

The only real problem occurs when a game gets released on exactly the same week as another, bigger, title. However, Stella Glow might've actually had a slight advantage over FE If, given that it was released earlier that month in Japan. The biggest reason Stella Glow failed is likely because of insufficient marketing.

>Why the fuck don't people buy these companies?

Because buying a company is expensive. People just aren't buying into video games like they used to and so investors, publishers, and devs all prefer to play things safe until the market stabilizes.

>>8767428

cute cat

if it ever gets a US release (it won't) i'd buy that day 1 just for the cat and that sweet art style.

>>8768025

wait what, really? well all fucking right.

the J man in the sky is watching out for vita owners

>>8768145

inb4 it's a PS4 version that they're releasing internationally

>>8768145

oh i seem to have gravely misunderstood, i am retarded.

i thought it was puyopuyo that had a new cute cat mascot or something. whoops!

nah, another epic indie retro platformer with pixel art diarrhea? nah i'll pass. nah i'm good.

So, I haven't played my Vita recently but the flash sale during the weekend got me charging that mofo up. I saw that there were issues with the latest firmware, have they been fixed? If not is there any way to download games from PSN without having to update?

>>8768903

I dont know exactly how all the backup stuff works. But are you able to backup your card, wipe it, and only restore your new games you installed?

it sounds like the pc backup method could allow you to delete files. Not sure if it is the whole backup file or individual items though.

>>8753433

what was your PSN name again? my browser crashed and I had the old vita thread open so i could add you guys later and now it's 404

i just picked up toukiden kiwami at gamestop. don't worry, i won't play it till you're ready. playing muramasa in the meantime.

>>8768903

That's happened to me before in that same situation.

For digital games, you have to reinstall them, and they'll work fine.

What I did was redownload the games from the PSN while I still had the original installations on my memory card. Once downloaded, the Vita will install the new files over the old installation, while keeping the save files intact. After that, I didn't experience any more problems while playing those games.

You still might want to backup your files before doing this, just in case.

>>8767057

>The only real problem occurs when a game gets released on exactly the same week as another, bigger, title.

That's certainly true. Shadow Hearts for the PS2 got massively overshadowed in sales due to releasing only five days before Final Fantasy X did here in the west (and even in Japan it released roughly a month earlier; former Sacnoth employees have stated that higher ups, likely at Aruze, bitched about low sales figures and urged them to make a more normal game like their competition for better sales) and to this day the series still remains rather underplayed, especially the first two entries due to being rather hard to find copies of. Similar happened with Dual Hearts being pit against Kingdom Hearts as well; no need to say which one sold better and which was pretty much forgotten.

Honestly not real sure why any localization company would choose to release their JRPGs out here against Square's stuff in the same timeframe (and Square-Enix even manages to occasionally overshadow their own more niche releases at times by releasing them alongside their more anticipated ones; such as Resonance of Fate being released within a week of Final Fantasy XIII here) given how much more well known/anticipated Square's games are apt to be, though it wouldn't surprise me if in some cases Square-Enix is the one that chooses to release close to their competition to try to reduce sales of rivals. But that's just speculation from me I suppose.

>>8771302

alright, nah i'm a third guy, the mentally ill guy in last thread. i just sent you a request.

>>8770893

Yeah, thinking about it, my argument was somewhat off. Rather than exactly a week, it probably extends to over a month and so it's likely that FE If's release date really did fuck up Stella Glow's sales.

>speculation

You're probably right in at least some instances of that.

Although, I can't recall whether Stella Glow's release date was announced before FE If's announcement in Japan, or after. At any rate, I doubt Nintendo/IS would intentionally fuck up a 3rd-party exclusive for the heck of it- that's just needless friendly fire.

Put in Shinovi Versus for a change of pace today. Plays really different from Burst. Can't get a hang of the timing in the least bit at the moment. I've only managed one A rank mission so far w/Minori. This is going to take some time to adjust to.

Also

>dat widely-ignored trophies

>rares and super rares everywhere

So people just played and multiplayer and fap?

>>8771740

There's also the factor of "stand alone game vs entry in established series" if you ask me. I'd wager that more people are apt to drop money on, or at least save money for something that's in a series they've heard of and by a company they might know better than take a risk with a new IP made by a company they may not know, regardless of how the quality between both compares. To use Shadow Hearts and FFX as an example again, Final Fantasy X was part of a long established, popular series and Squaresoft still had a decent reputation, and while Shadow Hearts was technically already an established IP (via Koudelka on the PS1), its predecessor sold poorly with reviewers at the time giving it a lot of grief, Sacnoth wasn't a well known company at all despite having former Square employees in its ranks, and Midway wasn't exactly known for handling JRPGs here.

>>8771903

Yeah, occasionally you get little videos or interviews on various games, but it seems to mostly be about how the games were actually made, as opposed to the process that goes into localization (though with western made games, the latter is a non-issue, at least as far as the English audience goes). I do seem to recall hearing that Working Designs included occasional video discs with some of their games; not sure if that was on their actual localization process or just how the game was actually made by the developers. It does strike that in the current climate, maybe most companies wouldn't want to make people aware of all that, lest they risk getting heat from fans if things like cutting content are something they wind up doing really early in the process. Still, I seem to recall that XSEED at least does localization blog posts about various things they have to work at and find solutions to, between the text translation, choosing voice actors, and bug fixing.

>At least Lost Odyssey felt like a Final Fantasy game. Despite it's flaws a really loved that game.

In addition to having old Square guys like Sakaguchi, Mistwalker also managed to get some of the former Shadow Hearts team working with them on the game, after Aruze dissolved Nautilus, so I suppose that it helps they'd managed to acquire talent that, if not working formerly with Square, had learned and grown competent working among the former Square employees Sacnoth and Nautilus had prior.

Actually still need to give Lost Odyssey a go sometime, but the 360's never been that high on my list of things to look into due not having a lot of games I like (and as of now, I think the only exclusive JRPGs on it are Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, with SO4, Eternal Sonata, and Tales of Vesperia having seen expanded PS3 version, although the last needed a fan translation).

>>8772042

I got trophies on steam waaaaay back when and didnt care as much once I got my Vita. But then my friend who convinced me to get it goes and platinums each game, I felt sort of compelled to also platinum everything.

Ive just found it fun since some games I would not have gotten as much out of them as I would have if I didnt platinum them.

>>8772753

Whoops, forgot to mention ID change. I was 67e0a0 had to update my proxy software and wound up changing servers.

>>8772753

>Flawless. Saved.

The art style, while nice, doesn't lend itself too well to trying to extract stuff well, since the coloring technically goes beyond the hard edges. Took me a while to do, and even then I had to go back over it with more image masking to make it look better.

>>8772753

oh ah, tonight? well I'm not sure, I just bought the game today and i haven't even turned it on yet. how far are you? maybe it'd be better if you waited and let me catch up. or if you start the game over so we can both go from chapter 1 and on together.

also for your consideration, this guy >>8771903 is going to be playing with us a month from now when he gets a secure internet connection, so perhaps we should wait for that so that there are three of us.

but if you really want to ditch him to play with the insane guy (me) immediately i dunno. sure i'm down hahhahahaha.

>>8771903

muramasa's not too hard of a game, even on hard mode. fury mode (where everything kills you in one hit) is the only thing that could intimidate anyone in this game, and that's optional and only playable after you beat it on one of the normal difficulties.

don't let the difficulty stop you from playing this 10/10 game. cause the difficulty isn't there till later.

>>8772806

what black magic is this firetires? why did my ID change BACK to the other one? I'm so confused.

>>8772833

Yeah I can see the thin outline around her. Still looks pretty good though. I didn't actually notice it until you mentioned it just now.

Still, pretty good.

>>8773484

And that is why you should always double check what they're putting in there before you leave. Especially in cases where a game has one or more updated iterations.

>>8773497

>stealth releases

Why do some companies do that? I'd think they'd want people to be more aware of them adding a new game (or new options for systems to play with) to the store.

>>8773512

yeeeah that's a lesson learned.

i have weird nostalgia for persona 1 even though i played it two years ago wtf

like the soundtrack made me tear up in bliss listening to it again

maybe it's just the alcohol. i love alcohol. alcohol is god's gift to man. alcohol makes even wienerschnitzel taste good.

>>8774716

Wanna fuck when drunk, anon?

>>8774719

>>8774719

been there, done thgat

i fucked a dude that looked like a lumberjack. the guy was only like 30 but he looked 50.

i met him at a hot tub at an apartment complex. it's the biggest regret in life i have.

the walk of shame back home from his apartment complex the next morning was perhaps the most horrible moment in my life. worse than getting beat by my fellow alcoholic father.

>>8774733

I'm 18 but look like a 16 year old.

We'd cuddle together while talking about life, wouldn't you like that?

scratch that, lumberjacks are typically ripped. this dude was 350 pounds. and somehow all of the fat was stored in his belly. you know usually the fat spreads out all over the body, like they'll have fat as fuck thighs and lunch lady arms. but this guy, it was all in the belly. and i don't know how. he doesn't even drink beer like i do.

but the worst feature of all was his teeth. and i'm a guy of pretty low standards. i don't give a shit. my own teeth are genetically eternally yellow. i coulkd bleach them and it doesn't make a lick of difference. i was born with fucked teeth.

but this guy's teeth man. i think he smoked crack in his college years or something. they were black! black and brown. all of them. and deformed looking. his teeth were like a silent hill monster. of course i uhhh didn't notice till the next morning when i was sober though.

>>8774750

no. maybe if i had six more beers and a couple of shots i would but then i'd be unintelligble.

if you were an athropormorphic cat it'd be a different story.

i'm not even sexually attracted to human beings. alcohol can make me sorta but it takes a whole lot.

see if i hadn't been in that hot tub i probably wouldn't have even considered going home with that guy. the hot tub dehydrates you and makes the alcohol toxicity increase.

also that guy had a two inch penis, fully erect. not joking. it looked so funny in contrast with his huge lumberjack/potbelly pig body.

VIDEO GAMES. i love persona 1 i want to play persona1 now, tonight.

not being attracted to human beings makes being a vita owner difficult. half the games have no value beyond "hot girls, XXX"

>>8774219

Honestly, it makes me think that maybe some of these companies just don't care that much about particular games they bring over. I remember only hearing about some mech game for the Vita (I forget which it was) only a week or so before it released out here. It's like they expect either plenty of sales with next to no effort in marketing (which is not going to happen), or are content to wait as sales slowly happen over time as people get the word out on it.

>>8774830

how do you think i feel man, beer goggles led me into his home. i woke up with his arm around me. god fucking dammit.

and you know, who gives a shit what he looks like. you know what the real issue is? he's a fucking redditor. he's a feminist. he loves niggers. he collects POPS! figurines. he buys all the latest apple products. hell he fucking WORKS AT AN APPLE CALL CENTER. was gonna get me a job there but that'd mean my supervisor was a drunken mistake hahahahhahaaha

>>8774873

just don't get in a hot tub with strangers after drinking. that's how i made that mistake.

if you're drunk, and you get in a hot tub, suddenly you're twice as drunk as you were outside of it.

actually makes me wish i had a sauna or a hot tub at my house bro. it's like free beer.

>>8774882

Tell me more.

>>8774940

oh i was going to go for the rifle but longbows make my dick just as hard all the same.

you should buy "equate maximum strength nighttime sleep aid" from walmart or safeway. i've been using it for years, never fails.

course, you eventually get dependent on the stuff. but who cares. the only side effect of sleep aid addiction is low blood pressure. fuck it.

>>8774988

what else do you want to know

>>8775178

what, fentanyl and liquor in a hot tub? i'm inclined to not believe you, or maybe you were on less than you think. the one time i mixed painkillers with alcohol, i was like max payne 3. ragdoll falling onto the floor and the vertigo and everything.

but hey. like i said. i'm crazy. i have borderline personality disorder. maybe drugs affects me different than you.

it's cool to hear you're into the waifu game though. i took that shit extremely seriously at one point in my life. well, it was my life, for two years solid.

anyway i'm going to sleep.

i'm real sorry for shitposting, i'm going to regret it when i wake up.

When confronted with a title that is on the PS3 and Vita, but does not support crossbuy, which do you go with?

I can certainly see the advantage of having Puyo Tetris on my Vita, but at the expense of my US account on hand is keeping me wary and the graphics are not as high resolution as the PS3 version.

>>8775425

i do dabble a little in opiates, just rarely mix it with alcohol for some reason. well i do know the reason, because when i get my hands on shit i have to use it NOW rather than wait for a prime opportunity to abuse, like say waiting till i have both booze + opiates to mix.

luckily for me painkillers make me physically ill. even in small controlled doses, like taking a prescribed amount, i feel extreme nausea and fever-like symptoms for six solid hours.

so that keeps me away from them. plus i'm socially retarded, hate people and i'm currently unemployed so getting illegal drugs / manipulating doctors into misprescribing me shit is out of the question. i stick to the legal stuff. alcohol and nicotine.

protip for nicotine: use snuff. snuff does not cause cancer like its cousins chew and smokes do. it's 100% safe for human consumption and gives the same buzz as that shit does.

good luck finding it if you live in clapistan though.

(not in bed yet cause i have to jack off first)

>>8775178

>Is there any other melancholy games like this?

Admittedly I still need to give Ar Norusge a go myself (friend is taking forever to get a PS2 hard drive for me to play AT2's retranslation on, as I'd wanted to at least play the original two games first), so I'm not sure of the exact vibe you want, but I'll give it a shot.

Shadow Hearts: Covenant can get pretty sad at times, especially if you play the prior game beforehand (as it helps to establish world and some of the characters that you can get attached to; Covenant is set after the bad end of it) with the main character not only suffering from an understandable depression after the events six months prior, but also winds up afflicted with an existential crisis of his own with the ramifications becoming more apparent later in the game.

Honestly, if you like JRPGs, it's a great series (with the first two PS2 ones forming a duology of sorts, and are loosely connected with their PS1 predecessor; I'd highly recommend playing them in order for both story and gameplay reasons) and it's a shame that they're not more available, be it as PSN rereleases or an HD Collection for the PS3 or Vita (similar to how FFX HD was handled). I hope something comes of a few of the former devs wanting to potentially revisit the games, but as of now they've got nothing in the works (it also sadly wouldn't surprise me if the games just aren't popular enough in Japan or out here to warrant a remaster or whatever)

Had to rewrite all of this because my browser shat itself.

>>8775841

Dynasty Warriors 8 Complete Edition. It has 5 campaigns that will last you a good 10 or so hours each if you try to 100%. More if you go after the hidden weapons and stuff.

the bosses literally just stand there.

this guy goes a full seven minutes without taking a hit at one point in this video.

and i didn't see him use any resources a single time.

hahahaha can you imagine if you could complete G-Rank quests in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite without bringing a single thing in your backpack?

this toukiden game is just astounding. it's like an action equivalent of a facebook game.

>>8776231

…. jesus that just looks boring as fuck. Oh flashy, big weapons, crazy combos!… while the bosses just… kind of stand there doing fuck all

I mean I'm sure these guys are over powered as fuck so if its like MH they're staggering/toppling the things which explains a lot, but even when they dont, the bosses just look completely impotent and like their most fearsome attack is "flail like an angry 2 year old"

Actually thats probably being to nice to the game, if an angry 2 year old flailed into your nuts that would actually hurt… these bosses look like they cant even do that

>>8776231

>>8776328

the main problem of toukiden is the welfare NPC players which make the game too easy, solo missions are always most intense and even then there are like only few of them for the entire game

>>8776328

yeah, you get struck at full force by a 300,000 pound man made of stone that's 25 feet tall and it takes a centimeter off the health bar.

nah i know, anyone looking at that would assume those player characters are overpowered, but i've watched a good two dozen videos of this shit game and every one has been like this. end game, beginning of the game, it doesn't matter.

i'm still going to buy it and give it a shot though. i don't want to hate games, i really don't. they just don't give me a fucking choice, putting out shit like this. this looks like shit.

>>8776231

>flashy shit used to hide the fact that everyone uses one combo from start to finish till monster is dead

>nobody gives a fuck about taking dmg because monsters hit like fucking vespoid

>>8776360

>i dont want to hate games

This is the problem I'm finding myself in more and more as I get older

Shit just doesnt hold my attention anymore. Game devs seem to have taken to making only three types of games anymore in large part

-Overly flashy, look at how cool this all looks! types. No substance in story or characters, no challenge, lots of shit going on for eye candy, but what is there to this game other than "LOOK AT HOW PRETTY IT IS!?" its the reason I dont want to bother with SAO:HF, watching videos it looks flashy, with contrived character interactions predefined by the show, and battles look mindnumbingly dull, BUT ITS PRETTY!

-"ZOMG OPEN WORLD!" shit loads of space to run around in, but nothing you do really makes any difference with LOTS of empty space, challenge is still sparse at that, character interaction and story might be decent, but well… they fall into the skyrim/fo4/mgs5/AssCreed problem where what you do doesnt matter much at all, and what challenge there is to be had is few and far between

-OH LOOK ITS NOSTALGIA TIME! games, either remaking the same shit we played in the 90s, or the same art/game styles with new stories. Which either are insanely simple (undertale pac run), or an heroing levels hard, with nothing in between. They arent flashy, the controls are simplistic, theres some story but not a lot of character depth, usually nothing you do matters much, maybe you get ending 1 or ending 2, depending on what you do, but out side of that? It boils down to ME3 level of "endings" we SHOULD have moved beyond 10 years ago.

Sure some stuff falls outside those boxes. But not much. A rare gem that becomes a beloved favorite, or god awful turd that was TRYING to hit one of those boxes and failed miserably

Nothing really catches my fancy anymore. Hell I only want to play Salt and Sacrifice because its DS nostalgia and looks decently challenging, maybe with some good story telling. But… is it so much to ask that we get a game that looks nice, has good combat, is challenging, has a good story that you influence, has characters that you interact with and change your relationship with them based on your choices in the game, and all of this in the SAME game?

Starting to lose hope that games are ever going to evolve forward again frankly. We've been on a backslide into mediocrity for the last 5+ years

So, one game that finally caught my attention

Corpse party. For any of you that have played it, is it worth replaying the first two before the third?

It would end up being $65 to buy and play all of them, jesus more than a main console game… but, it seems like a decently horrific story. Or are the older two games more meh and would just reading the plot of those games online be a wiser choice?

>>8777053

Play the first two. Specifically the first. The second you could get away with a synopsis if you wanted to. The third doesnt really live up as well to the first imo.

The first has such detailed descriptions about how you die…to the point Im getting squeamish trying to type something out. just imagine rusty spoons and eyeballs and how descriptive you can get whereas the third one would basically say, "and when the ghost sees you, your eyes start to spin, and then you cant see anymore, hearing a plop sound on the floor".

The third also has chibi 3d models just just look silly more than anything in a game like this. The story also gets waaay crazier than what the original leads you to beleive, but it does wrap up everything nicely.

>>8778872

It is better to play both though, I agree, and they are only like 5-6 hour long games. Sucks there is only the digital copies in NA, and they still charge $20 last I checked.

> PLAYAN

Nothing, really. I lost my momentumn with Persona 4. :(

> WANTAN

Time to play, damn it.

> BEATAN

Nothing.

> BUYAN

Nothing.

fun

If only I had time for it. :(

>>8778985

Each? Damn, I would've though they would've lowered the price after BD's release. I think I bought both on sale in some budle for $20, but obviously waiting for sales isn't the most fun thing to do.

>>8779112

I have no idea, I bought the game, because I found it new with the soundtrack for under $10, but I still haven't even started it.

>>8779477

Yeah, I got both for $20 when they were on sale the week before BD's release. But for a 5-6 hour game the price really isnt worth it.

Looks like BD is on sale on psn right now though.

>>8759708

yes, tying save data to the game ROM (when it doesn't work that way for legacy shit, even) was retarded.

I think it was to "encourage" people to get PS+, since then you can upload cloud saves. But this bit me when my PS+ expired and I removed P4 only to find out my fucking saves were gone… had backups but was still pissed.

I actually review games. Also, I'm not a Youtube reviewer.

I'd share some of my work but I'm kinda skirting the line for NDA here.

But seriously, pretty cool you can review stuff, wish I could make money on the side doing something like that.

I also wish that game wasnt coming out through NISA. I really dont want to give them money.
