Good Playstation Vita titles

[Duraframe300]

How's conception 2?

Has lots of potential, but combat and dungeons are very repetitive. Do you have any particular questions?

1. Is the dlc good?

2. How are the waifus?

1. Didn't have any DLCs.

2. Waifus are okay:
- Your young sexy teacher
- A friendly swimmer chick
- Green-haired cutie with shady past
- Big-titted shy girl
- Butthurt tiny girl, who tries to compensate the fact she looks like a small girl (my fav waifu)
- Noble blonde sword fighter chick

 

[Crooked Bee]

Hasn't there been a new SaGa game announced for the Vita? That one could be good.

It'll probably be great but only be released in Japan.

Q: What kind of game is SaGa 2015?

A: A regular RPG.

Q: What kind of gameplay system [will it have]?

A: There’s something like an extension of the free-scenario system [where players can tackle the story in any order] in it. There are also multiple protagonists.

Q: Who is the character holding two swords?

A: The god of the world. His name is Firebringer. As far as the black-haired male and the female characters go, I can’t say anything, yet.

Q: Please tell us about the world.

A: The world setting is close to Romancing SaGa, so if you look at it that way, you could say that it’s like Romancing SaGa 4; however, there are parts that are different from Romancing SaGa, so it’s kind of hard to say.

Any new good Vita games in 2015-2016?

Is Ar Nosurge good?

 

[Siveon]

Trails of Cold Steel just came out, gonna give that a try (though I haven't played the past games) when it gets here. On the 29th. Darius Burst looks like an insane STG, and EDF 2 looks great (XSEED is love, XSEED is life) as well. Dungeon Travelers 2 might be worth a look as a Wiz-clone. Much better than Demon Gaze (perhaps even Operation Abyss). Speaking of which, Class of Heroes 3 is coming out soon-ish.

2016 has a bit going for it, I remember seeing an image with a list of Vita games coming out. I'll see if I can find it.

I heard you had to play the other Nosurge games to 'get' Ar Nosurge, and honestly, it just looks too dumb for me to bother. It's that brand of middle of the road bland moe-blob crap that really turns me off. At least Neptunia has humor (which, I am warming up to - to my dismay).

Some of these games look interesting and others might not get localized.

I've probably missed some. Then there's non-rpg/vn stuff that is probably good but does not interest me, personally.

 

[StaticSpine]

Who the hell cares about non JRPG/VN stuff on Vita?

 

[Siveon]

Who the hell cares about non JRPG/VN stuff on Vita?

There are some pretty good STG's for the Vita. Few decent ports of decent indies, as well.

 

[Martius]

Who the hell cares about non JRPG/VN stuff on Vita?

From what I heard there are some Monster hunter clones/inspired games.

 

[Zetor]

I heard they have Lemmings for the vita, too! /troll

Probably a no-brainer, but don't buy FFT:WOTL. It's the psp version with the super annoying slowdown, and you can't even patch it. If you must have a version for a mobile device, go with a psx emulator... or hell, even the shitty android version.

 

[Siveon]

Or you could just patch the PSP version on a CFW PSP. That way I have buttons.

 

[Siveon]

Yo, anyone try Lost Dimension? It looks like some weird combination between Valkyria Chronicles and Neptunia in terms of battle systems, with a built-in drama/traitor plot in the middle.

It's pretty cheap online for a Vita game (thank goodness for Atlus printing a reasonable amount of copies, moreso than fuckin' Nintendo), and I might just dig in. I heard the loading times can be a bother, but other than that, it looks like a fun SRPG thing.

The metascores are p. high.

As if that mattered.

I'll hold onto my cash for now, but I'm coming back for it, definitely.

 

[StaticSpine]

Bros, there are huge Black Friday discounts on
Ar nosurge Plus: Ode to an Unborn Star -58%
Lost Dimension -73%

any thoughts?

 

[Siveon]

Lost Dimension - Valkyria Chronicles/X-COM like SRPG with a traitor gimmick where your pre-gen allies can be baddies. For a handheld that lacks quality SRPGs that's not Disgaea, it's pretty good. Runs bad vanilla so I overclock on my modded Vita.

Ar no surge: Never played, but from what I heard it was another text-heavy JRPG with waifus and bad writing.

 

[Abu Antar]

I'd like to give you advice, but haven't tried any of those. I am tempted by Lost Dimension, but I am knee deep in backlogged games.

 

[Theldaran]

If you played the first Steins;Gate, then it's mandatory to play Steins;Gate Zero.

I was thinking of getting a Vita only for it, but it's truly suicidal given what console we're talking about.

I HAVE TO BUY THIS

 

[Courtier]

Premise of Lost Dimension seems really good, what with building relationships only for your team to vote who to kill on every floor.

Lads in vitagen really loved Ar no surge, been interested in it for a while.

For blobber lads, we can expect Coven and Labyrinth of Refrain and Demon Gaze 2 at some point (D1P)

- Butthurt tiny girl, who tries to compensate the fact she looks like a small girl (my fav waifu)

GOOD TASTE

 

[Rpgsaurus Rex]

Games I bought were

TiTS remakes (good for what it is; new art is worse, voice acting is great). Got burned out by the combat system by part 2. Seems I'll just be revisiting part 1's maps again.

Utawarerumono 2 (good for what it is - combat system got improved but the writing... way too much filler and the twists you'll miss only if you skim read or something); will buy part 3 at some point in the future because it's Vita and beggars aren't choosers.

Root Double (story goes from cheesy but enjoyable action to *not this high school shit again* back to interesting in part 4 that I'm reading atm). Playing on and off.

I regret nothing.
