PS Vita

There actually IS a reason to upgrade to Slim now, and that is the fact that apparently Sony discontinued the first party power cables for Vita 1000's proprietary cable format. Slim uses Micro USB instead.

Last reply b4 I disappear again,

My Vita's all pimped out Nepified (◠ω◠✿)

The vita is an awesome platform. Really had a lot of potential until sony decided to pretend it never existed in the first place, which is kind of a big "fuck you" to vita owners including myself.

And why the fuck did they think that disabling the youtube app altogether was a good idea? 

[Funyarinpa]

Whoa. Superbeat Xonic looks very fun to play! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ctx0pLuA22M

[Thunderbro]

That game actually looks like a lot of fun. I'll probably hold off on getting it until it appears in a flash sale though, I've got too big of a backlog right now. 

[Funyarinpa]

There's nothing in my backlog that I want to play a LOT, so I pretty much forgot about them all and will start over with a few exceptions. 

Amazon order is coming today, will bring Danganronpa 2 and TWEWY. 

[Thunderbro]

Both fantastic games, enjoy them!

[Funyarinpa]

Both fantastic games, enjoy them!

Thanks! Watched an LP of DR2 but will be going into TWEWY mostly unspoiled. WOO

[Funyarinpa]

Which new Vita releases are you looking forward to?

Personally, only Superbeat Xonic for me right now. Not ALL that hyped for it either, and I have many games I'd buy before that (Danganronpa AE, Corpse Party 1, Wipeout 2048 for example). Still looks pretty great, but can't really save up $40 for it. I'll buy Another Episode at a sale ($40 waaaaay too expensive IMHO) and then probably WipEout 2048. Loved the W2048 demo.

[Thunderbro]

I'm awaiting the Trails of Cold Steel duology. Maybe Miracle Girls Festival, but I don't know if I want to import that. 

[Eclipsed]

So after a couple of years (2 months) of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;birth 1 + 2  (still have 3 left!@#) + Hyperdevotion Noire + U: Action Unleashed along with a one week stand for Corpse Party: Blood Drive and messing around with ARK to play KH: Birth by Sleep, FFVII: Crisis Core, Dissidia and whatnot on my Vita,

I have graduated and am ready to move onto a more reputable rpg series, the Atelier series, starting with Ayesha Plus: The Alchemist of Dusk (cuz it's on sale and I'll just have to wait n' pray for the Arland series to be on sale some day)

Someday will get to P4G

And finally need to grab 9 9 9 on my 3DS so I can play Virtue's Last Reward

[Funyarinpa]

Hope Danganronpa AE or Samurai Warriors 4 gets a sale this Black Friday. 

Going to Spain, might pick up Steins Gate.

Ah, well, since this topic is on the PS Vita in general, I'll throw in a question I am in need of an answer for. Will there be any releases that are worth it for the Vita next year in 2016, or just future releases to the west in the future? Because I've been watching what Nintendo has for the 3DS, but I'm really considering buying the Vita for a few games that you can only play on the Vita, but Nintendo is really draining my pouch of money right now. Thoughts on future Vita games?

But this only accounts to the PS Vita 1000, correct? Or is it for the other versions of the Vita excluding the slim?

It kinda depends on what kind of games you like. If you like JRPGs and the like, totally. If you don't, then not really.

Just look through this and make your own conclusions: http://i.imgur.com/iAXpm1n.jpg 

Most of the new stuff coming out is japanese games, and I don't see that stopping in a while. In fact it feels like there's more of them coming out every year, so I'm not too worried about the future of vita for next few years.

Oh, that's a nice compilation for next year's games then! Thank you! And I do like JRPGs, so the selections actually looks appealing to me, so I guess I'll be placing the Vita on my to-buy list. 

[Eclipsed]

So my Vita's like 3 months old now and I'm starting to have a huge backlog since I'm just buying games that go on sale, at least Winter Break is coming up

I pretty much only played all the Nep games, Corpse Party, and currently Atelier Ayesha, i know, i know, shit taste, gg me.

Misc. Trivia

• I have P4G... on my computer. Deleted it from the Vita to make room, cuz lol 64GB mem card still not enough, but it was previously sitting on page 1 bottom right where Settings is now 
• May get the actual Dungeon Travelers 2, it's on sale right now for ~$30, though very hesitant cuz don't know if it'll have a bigger sale later on down the road
• Don't even know why I got the XBlaze VNs, but that means they are the first VNs I've ever...purchased. o_0
• I somehow didn't buy Muramasa Rebirth when it was $10 two weeks ago, I thought I did, fk me.
• Apparently Amnesia: Memories is an otome game, LOL

 

[Turnip Sensei]

Wow, all that Nep-Nep!
But it's a pretty solid library, I can vouch for almost all of those games. Vita has so many fun games!

I liked the first XBlaze VN. It's not amazing, but it has pretty impressive visuals and it's quite entertaining.

Out of curiosity I actually compiled a list of all the Vita games I have, feel free to judge my tastes. (And my dedication)

Might as well give my Vita a Danganronpa makeover:
 

Spoiler

 

 

 

[Funyarinpa]

I have some questions about remote play with PS3.

1) Is Remote Play always done over Wi-Fi? Is there a way to directly connect the PS3 and Vita if I'll be using it in the same room as the PS3?

2) Is it possible to display a PS3's output on a laptop monitor? How do I go about doing this?

 

Also Eclipsed, you're at DR2 already? Sweet.

*shrug* @ 1 & 2

Ye I finished DR1, clocked in about 21 hours, maybe will spend some extra time to farm coins to unlock shit and check out School Mode

Btw how does DR: Another Episode play into the series? I heard it takes place after 1 but before 2, BUT it has spoilers to 2

AE does explain some stuff from DR2, better to go into DR2 before AE. 

It takes place between DR1 and DR2 indeed, but the thing is, it's SHIT.

Like, really bad. The story just doesn't really go anywhere and except for a few great moments (most of which, again, mostly relates to the mainline games), the highest points it hits is pretty much cheesy-ass dialogue like "Sometimes you have to take the painful path in life" and there's so much of it, it's cringeworthy.

The gameplay is somewhat fun but very clunky, quite repetitive as well. The graphics range from horrendous (wall textures early in the game) to pretty great (some colorful locales midgame to endgame).

Unless DR3 or NDRV3 redeems it, don't pick it up for more than $15-20 (got it for $24 myself).

DR2 is one of my favorite games (#3 after 999 and VLR), I hope you enjoy it!

edit:

the game does have some good things

1) Still pretty bad, but it's pretty incredible how well the game salvages Fukawa from the mess she was in DR1

2) Komaru is somewhat likable

3) It's the darkest Danganronpa in many ways, which is a very welcome change.

Though the main villains are also shit, keep that in mind.

The game's also real short, around 15hrs I believe.

Anyone use a grip thingymabo with their Vita? I'm thinking of getting something like http://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Power-Grip-Vita-PCH-2000-playstation/dp/B00G9X4YRM/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1454111829&sr=1-1&keywords=nyko+power+grip+vita

Seems to be the most recommended, also has its own battery so you can theoretically get longer playtimes on the go

B> 128 GB Vita card, too many cute girl icons clogging my Vita

Literally me. I ran out of space on my 16GB (I think) card yesterday and had to delete a cute grill or two. I blame you. I should buy a bigger memory card, but do they even support transferring stuff? Muh saves.
