What advice would you give someone who's going to buy a Vita
>>338155012
Hope you like weeb games
Don't?
Get a screen protector.
Buy physical when you can. Ovoid PSN sales.
Have fun
>>338155012
Buy a big mem card
Look both ways before crossing the street
If you're expecting a handheld experience it has a lot of games. If you're expecting console games on a handheld, it has very few that are impressive.
Don't buy it if you don't like weeb games.
>>338155770
>Avoid PS sales
Nigga, PS sales are the cheapest way to get good games for cheep or paying what is actually worth for some games (If you buy nep games at full price you are fucking dumb)
>>338155012
Make a game list and take it slow, or else huge backlog.
>>338155012
Buy a decent sized memory card. 32gb is a good start if you plan to buy mostly physical games.
64gb is expensive at the start but it's a good investment.
>>338156000
>Handheld experience
Nah
Vita games are not portable or hand held focused, they are not pick up and play games generally and expect you to be playing for long stretches of time like console games but you can put it down whenever you need
If a bike is a DS/phone, a 3DS is a commuter car like a Honda fit, and the vita is a long distance GT car
>>338156443
That's not true at all.
Stop making up bullshit. Give me an example of a single game that is not pick up and play? Every single game has save points, some segmenting, and this is paired with a godly sleep mode. Tell me how this format is somehow different from a typical handheld title?
>>338156203
Damn dude, those are a lot of games !
How many games did you finish ?
If you got a PS4 connect it to an account you know you're gonna keep because you're gonna be stuck on that one. Unless you buy another memory card.
>>338157438
Over half.
>>338156443
>No one is shilling for Nintendo. It is a Sony-funded lie and a pitiful attempt at smearing the 3DS' good name.
get Jet Set Radio
it's a fantastic port and is the best game you can play on the Vita
>>338157724
Does it have trophies
>>338156443
What game is not pick up and play?
>>338157779
yes
>>338157412
Persona 4G
4h of story before the actual first level
>>338158253
There's a segmented save once every hour.
How is that different from any 3DS RPG? Bravely Default? Fire Emblem? SMT4?
You can't save everywhere in these games. Why is that different?
>>338158552
>>338158253
Top it off with the 3DS sleep mode being shit tier and dying in 24 hours, versus the Vita lasting over a week.
>>338157412
You failed to understand my point
I'm saying that games on the vita are more console like with the games expecting you o sit down and play for a good 2 to 3h before putting it down, while DS games were more focused on making you play for 15min
The DS was a much more portable handheld in a sense that games were made to be played in small time bursts, so you can play while you commute in a train or a bus, while the vita, even being a handheld, doesn't have many games like that, yes you can put the whole system to sleep at the touch of a button, but no game for it is being developed to be played in small bursts of time while you comute
Pick up and play would be something like tetris
You pick it up, play two or three levels and put it down
While something like Persona 4 you have to play for 4h before even touching the gameplay
>>338155012
don't
>>338158864
>games expecting you o sit down and play for a good 2 to 3h before putting it down
What games?
I can play a race in Wipeout in a matter of minutes, I can boot up shovel knight and beat a level in minutes, I can launch killzone and the campaign is segmented with checkpoint saves, meaning I can pace myself as I see fit.
What game forces me to play for hours? I want you to point out some games.
>no game for it is being developed to be played in small bursts of time while you comute
Every game can be tuned to this format. You fail to demonstrate how the DS or 3DS have this "feature" across all games that allows for short segments.
>Pick up and play would be something like tetris
Tetris is on the Vita, how is it different?
Why do you keep bringing up Persona 4 and ignore the fact that the DS and 3DS have countless RPGs that require hours of playing without saving? Look at Strange Journey.
Again, you have no fucking idea what you're talking about and you're deluded by you're own idiocy.
I've had a Vita for a while but haven't played much on it. what are the top ten best games to play on it?
Nothing from PSP or PS1. I have a modded psp for that
>>338155012
Draw up a list of games you want before you actually buy the system.
Also, look up memory card prices.
>>338159615
soul sacrifice delta, Wipeout 2048, Dungeon travelers 2, Persona 4 golden, Digimon Cyber Sleuth, Oreshika 2,VLR, EDF, Ys Celceta, Dangan Ronpa Trilogy are some of my favorites.
>>338159864
Hey anon, how far are you in Oreshika?
Make an informed decision by checking out what games it has that grab your attention and upcoming releases.
>>338159175
Except those games you mentioned are console games, they are designed for sitting down and playing them for long periods of time and are not handheld games at all, they're developed by console developers that have no clue what handheld games are like and thus the game suffers on a handheld because of it. This is why the Vita failed, they don't understand the secret behind pick up and play games that made Nintendo handhelds the best selling handhelds for a reason. Nintendo has taken steps to ensure every single game on the platform is designed for pick up and play and thus perfect for handheld gaming while Sony doesn't care about this at all.

>>338160510
So Tetris is a console game when its on the Vita?
>and are not handheld games at all, they're developed by console developers that have no clue what handheld games are like
Okay, what design choices make them not handheld games? Name me 10 games on the DS and 3DS that are segmented in the way that you speak, that you can play in tiny bursts on a commute and have unrestricted saving.
I'm done, you're a fucking idiot, I would rather crack your skull on a curb than bring your trolling any further.
Get Soul Sacrifice Delta (digital only, not the vanilla version which has a physical release)
June is coming up so there's God Eater Resurrection, Odin Sphere Leifdrasir and Zero Time Dilemma (play the other two games first if you haven't) to look forward to.
>>338155012
Get Tearaway if you do.
>>338160510
3DS fanboys are retarded.
If you like games that are good than you will like the Vita and if you don't like games that are good you're very confused because why do you consider them good if you don't like them? I seriously hope you're not one of those people who think games shouldn't be about having fun. That is the main justification for calling a game good without it being enjoyable. So if you're a person who thinks games should be art and fun is secondary then maybe you shouldn't buy a Vita.

Let me ask you a question: Is the only difference between a console and a handheld system whether you can take it on the road with you? Of course, because it is smaller, it is a weaker system. But, as technology progresses, the handheld will eventually resemble a console system. Is a handheld just a weak portable console? Or is it trying to be a different gaming experience altogether.
I think Nintendo doesn't look at handhelds as portable consoles but as something different altogether
- Maybe it started out from the fact that handhelds were weaker, but handhelds went back to a more Retro style of gaming. On the GBC we saw a lot of NES games. On the GBA we saw a lot of SNES games. On the DS we saw a mix of high-end SNES and low end 3d games. Altogether, though, most importantly the style was more orientated around the impulse based, fun pick and go gaming. Gameplay was very often simplified and focused on core gameplay and fun. The convoluted elements were filtered out and the basic, simple "fun" was left in. So point number 1 is that handhelds were more oriented to get players attention with easy pick up fun gaming. Even the 3DS looks like it will be somewhat following this proven format, never abandoning simple sidescrolling platformers and making simple, fun experiences that fit to a smaller screen. An example would be Super Mario Land 3D, which doesn't try to copy Super Mario 64, Sunshine, or Galaxy, but crafts an experience that retains the simplicity of early sidescrolling Mario games (particularly Mario 3) while adding elements of the console Mario games that make sense on the 3DS.
>>338161368
- Point number 2 is that because the system rested in your hands, Nintendo looked how to alter and innovate in that specific realm. So, they came up with touch controls and two screens. Whereas the Wii focused on motion controls and Wii U has a separate screen from the TV, those are gameplay innovations that are appropriate to a console experience, where the TV screen is separate from the controller. Nintendo sees how a handheld can be a different experience than a console- and not just because it's portable. Once again, the 3DS utilizes the proximity of the handheld to your eyes to allow 3D without glasses.
Contrast this with the Vita which Sony seems to be trying to convince everyone that it is basically a console system which fits in your hands. They are trying to make every big console franchise have a handheld iteration. Whether it's Killzone, Uncharted, or Resistance, they are trying to "duplicate" the PS3 experience on the PS Vita. Its here that the two manufacturers collide in thinking on how to making a mass market handheld gaming device. Sony is trying to apply what it has learned works for home consoles onto the psp, which didn't fully appeal to mass market and still continuing this format with psp vita. These reasons lead me to believe that the psp vita will be taking the same missed footsteps that would lead to not be a fully mass market handhled game console for everyone. Like the ds was and the new 3ds is attempting to replicate.
There is a reason why the PSP and the Vita are huge disasters for handhelds, nobody wants to play console games on handhelds while Nintendo understands this and excels because they're playing to their strengths by making games that are specifically for handhelds only.
>>338155012
Hope you like weeb games.
You should invest some money into a large memory card, Super UFO was still selling the 64GB for about $80. personally I wouldn't recommend the 32GB since the $/GB is too high, but a 16GB should give you some breathing room. At least if you dont want to spend too much on one.
>>338161368
>>338161554
I could easily save myself from dissecting your autism wall by saying this
Both Sony and Nintendo handhelds had console games ports and sequels ever since their creation
Look at DQ and MonHun
>>338156203
Listen to this guy. I haven't opened half my games.
>>338155012
Get at least a 16 MB memory card
>>338155012
You can't hack it to the same extent as you can the PSP. Sony really stepped up their security with this one.
>>338164232
It's strange that they did, while the PS4 has shit security.
>>338161368
>>338161554
Basic double standards being presented from a fanboy perspective without any logic or reason because he cherry picks early Sony developed titles for the sole purpose of their production values.
Protip: a handheld game can have a bigger budget, doesn't make it any less handheld.
You are just autistic. Tell you what, hop on discord and we can talk about this in voice. Give me a server.
Soul Sacrifice Delta. That's my advice.
>>338164717
How does it play?
>>338155012
Kill yourself?
>>338161554
>the PSP and the Vita are huge disasters for handhelds
The PSP outsold the 3DS though. The same developers are making games for both platforms.
You actively contradict yourself while displaying some retarded fanboy points. You are possibly the worst poster that isn't trolling, and legit thinks he's smart for saying constant contradictory points.
Mario 64 was on the DS and it was a console title. In fact, it was a near launch game.
3D land is not segmented for pickup and play, you need to finish a level for it to save, by the same argument you have been making.

what the hell is wrong with you people? this is worse than those steam sale guys
>>338165436
Buy in bulk = cheaper, also like supporting devs.
>>338165436
Vita is literally one of the last handhelds to exist, if you don't get a copy of the games now you will never be able to get a game in the future physically.
>>338165505
You can buy a bunch of Vita games together in bulk?
>>338165039
Neat. How often does it go on sale?
Home+Start
>>338165436
I work full time and enjoy collecting stuff.
>>338166964
It went on sale some months ago (I think February) for pretty cheap.

You can almost smell the autism
I haven't been playing my vita as often lately because I got sucked into bloodborne.
Try the DT2 demo, its the best game ont he console
>>338170395
The story and writting are pushed on you at all times while managing to be awful at best, definitely not worth it for the ok dungeon crawling

Does it have save importing?
That's such a fucking pain with digital games by the way.

I wouldnt if they didnt try to force feed it to me at every turn, even mid dungeon the characters have to talk about how great I am, does this get better after the demo?

Yea, even better after you finish the story.

If I cant create a full party of Angel themed characters than its shit
>>338164403
nah he's right
>>338170967
Story ends at about half of the game, the rest are "post game" dungeons (a bit silly to call them post game when they're basically half of it).
