Are there any workarounds for getting cheap vita memory cards? Are there any third party companies that make them like there were back in the PS1/2 days? Maybe Jap imports?
>>343572398
Nope
>>343572398
Sadly no, but the day it happens I'm getting a large memory card asap.
Nope, which is odd considering the market in China for the Vita is growing.
I finally broke down and bought a 64gb off a shop on Ebay, took a bit longer to get, but has worked fine in my slim model.
>>343572398
Why would a third party bother getting past all the proprietary bullshit for a dead handheld?
>>343572398
you dont need a large card
just move your shit to your PC
you dont need all your games with you all the time
>not waiting for Vita to get emulated
Any day now someone will pop up with a Vita emulator and it will be glorious.
Although many of the great games have been ported to PS3/4/PC.
dont download games. only buy physical
>$100 for 64GB
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING
Wtf dude i got an oled model and a 32Gb for like $150 on craigslist, "impossible to afford" nigga get a job
>>343573819
No physical version of all the psp and psone games on vita.
An 8 gb is perfectly fine
>>343573635
>Any day now someone will pop up with a Vita emulator and it will be glorious.

Crashing this handheld.
>>343573839
I got mine for $62
I mean, it's still damn expensive but at least it's nearly half the price official outlets try to sell it for
>>343574191
16gb is the best middle ground due to some games being huge as fuck
>>343573839
Helping mobile/phone gaming win.
>>343573839
One of two things.
1. Prevents people from wanting the system to pirate on since they're so expensive.
2. If they do become hacked, the only way to fully enjoy all those free games is to break down and pay nearly $100 for the biggest card.
>>343574503
This.
8gb if you're only interested in <3 games and are going purely physical
16gb if you're just going purely physical and don't want to shell out for a 64gb card
64gb for everything else.
Don't ever pick up a 32gb card unless it's discounted significantly.
>>343572398
Get a huge ass micro SD and an USB reader
Get a regular 4GB vita card
Plug vita to PC and install the companion software
Set the folders in the companion software to the SD card
Presto, you can store all your fucking Vita games and you don't need to worry about >Only 4gb lol
Most vita games are smaller than 4GB, and only get above it because of update patches, you do not need anything bigger than 4GB unless you want all those NepNep game breaking DLCs while playing NepNep 3 the neppening
>>343574767
Literally what's the point of doing this if he could just put it onto this PC and skip the middle-man?
He's still going to need a PC to return those files
And 4gb is legit too small. An 8gb card is fine for what you're talking about, but some games can't even be played if you only have 4gbs.
>>343572398
>still not cracked
How do they do it?
If it were cracked I would literally go out and buy one right now.
>>343574767
too bad that's useless if you want to buy the arland trilogy or any jrpg
>>343575151
Unlike nintendo they actually got their shit together
The blackfin is coming out soon but it's shit
Don't expect anything for another year or so
>>343572398
>>343573448
Third parties can not make memory cards for the Vita. It is illegal.
>China still hasn't made dodgy knockoffs or SD card adapters
come on you fucking scammer bastards
>>343575151
Only people who don't own a Vita want to see it fully cracked.
Those who do own one, at most, want emulators and that's it.
>>343573839
Controlling the market
Unlike MS Duo, sony never gave away the license to reproduce them by other company, so only sony makes them at a fixed amount because they know only so many people buy Vitas anyway
Sony never liked letting other people make their memory cards, Back in the PS2 and PS1 days they delayed the shit out of licencing renewing deals so only them made Memory cards for a while, resulting in great draughts and gigantic demands for them, inflating the prices
Sony only renewed the contracts because they realized their factories could not keep up the demand
With the MS Duo, the demand came from the fact SEVERAL other sony products, including their digital cameras used their cards and only their cards, again sony could not keep the demand for cards and licensed out for Scandisk and other companies to mass produce cards and deflated the prices
Now with the vita, only it uses these cards, there is no huge demands, since vitas are not as popular as PS1/2/4s so sony can just relax and keep the prices inflated for the sake of it
>>343574990
So you can swap games without needing to be near your PC, any windows compatible machine will do it, regardless of where you are
I though 8 gigs would be an alright investment. Then I painfully realized Vita games are hardly ever physically stocked and Flash Sales offer decent prices for decent games.
I now have a 64 gig and 34 gig completely full and my 8 is reserved.
Literally the only physical game I ever got is Project Diva and that's because I'm fucking scared that these flimsy ass Vita cartridges break from any real pressure.
>>343575619
>Implying I want to fuck around transferring shit all the time
64GB nigga
>>343575712
Sorry Mr.Moneybags, but not every one here has spyro to bank their vita cards purchases
>>343575629
>because I'm fucking scared that these flimsy ass Vita cartridges break from any real pressure.
These cartridges are pretty hard to break though.
Source: I own 44 physical games and haven't broken one (or even scratched one) yet despite throwing the boxes around all the time.
Unless you bend them like they were your old yugioh cards they should be fine
>>343575712
Heard a good amount of people say that once the 64GB starts to fill up, it starts failing and that the 32GB has this problem less.
>>343575817
Wait until it's on sale you dumb commie
>>343575840
I have heavy and clumsy hands. Ive snapped brand new discs just from removing them from the case on sheer accident.
>>343575378
No licenses or leaked documentation on them to give the chinks the know how to pirate them
All we know right now is that they might be like sony's old M2 memory stick format and nothing else
>>343575972
Either you've never grown accustomed to PS1-era discs or your dexterity is equal to that of a dog with only three legs.
>>343575397
I literally bought a PSTV on a whim last month because it was dirt cheap and I'm not planning on buying any game for it until that shit gets cracked.
>>343573635

>PSTV

Just wait for the inevitable flash sale
>>343576172
he has hamhands, anon
please be nice to hamhand people, just like you are nice to crab hand people
>>343576203
PSTVs aren't PS Vitas.
Vita will never be cracked until someone puts a bounty on a fully featured CFW. Memory cards won't be cracked until some salty Sony dev releases their build specs.vita hacking kickstarter when?
>>343572398
Wait for amazon to sell them for as much as10%off
>>343575316
I went onto the blackfin and site and wololo to check out this blackfin thing. Wololo says it works. Wonder if it put PSP games on it since I'm too lazy to use the Vita PSP exploit.
>>343576293
PSP games demanded respect for the claw.
I apologize to all the hams out there.
>>343576327
>2m raised by salty nerds and poor fags
>sony sends a C&D
>original Ks faggot pockets all the money and runs away to mexico
naw
>>343576356
I'm retarded, Sony already blocked blackfin with the 3.60 update.
>>343576356
>That website
chink scam/10
>>343576652
>>343576356
Any and all updates from these sites have been sent to Sony via tickets for ages.
Just ask the people over at Vitagen. Some who do this even get free months of PS+ and junk for bringing significant exploits to their attention.
>>343576808
That's strangely cyberpunk.
>>343574619
It also prevented people from buying the system...
I love how the Vita failed (after a very slow and agonizing death) even despite Sony's anti-piracy lockdown being fairly successful. When will companies finally admit that piracy isn't an excuse anymore?
I hope if/when they do another handheld they stop this shit and embrace SD cards. This memory card shit is ridiculous, especially with how everything is going more and more digital-only.
>>343576986
where
>>343577134
The PSTV was an even bigger failure
It was supposed to be a cheap alternative to the vita but they completely fumbled the marketing and support
Compatible games don't even show up on the psn store
>>343577134
piracy fuels hardware not software sales, and most consoles are sold at either a low profit or even a slight loss because games compensate for that.
>>343577134
>I hope if/when they do another handheld they stop this shit and embrace SD cards.
Don't get your hopes up. I doubt Sony's even gonna keep making phones in the next five years.
Just wait for their next handheld senpai. Im sure they wont be dunb enough to repeat this again.
>they said this is the last
Bullshit. I dont believe it.
>>343573839
Purposely letting Nintendo continue to destroy them.
>>343572398
I used to have a 4gb memory card, I bought an used 16GB memory card when I was in Tokyo. The secret is to save all your games on your computer or PS3.
>>343572398
Why do people sensationalize buying these memory cards like it requires a second mortgage when:
They come in bundles
You don't need a 64GB card
People buy google tablets, Apple products, Amiibos, Wii U batteries, smartphones, Wii U deluxe models, multiple iterations of the 3DS, etc.
I agree they are overpriced, but they were never a wallet hindrance or negatively ruined my Vita experience. It all comes down to convenience; the tools are there to make even cheaper cards work, but people would like to complain about the idea of storage issues instead of just buying the console to play videogames
Vita could have been great. I remain convinced someone at Sony really fucking hates handhelds and that's why it was both so massively expensive and then bogged down by memory cards.
>>343577280
>It was supposed to be a cheap alternative to the vita
It was supposed to be a peripheral to the PS3 but later gained Vita support.
When they realized nobody cared about the ability to play the PS3 with lag in other rooms of their house, they just focused on the Vita TV aspect of it.
When they realized their games weren't naturally compatible with the VitaTV and required additional work, they just canned the entire thing and swept it under the rug.
The best thing to come out of the Vita TV was the bundles carrying an 8gb Vita card, a game, and the Vita TV or like $20
>>343577503
It probably will be their last.
That doesn't mean they aren't resupporting the Vita now.
The latest comments about the system specifically stated they're going to focus on the handheld in the upcoming months, and some cheeky brit even asked them if it was more peripheral apps for the PS4, to which they said no.
Sothere's a good chance the Vita will still be inlast placeonce the next generation of handheld consoles come out
>>343577134
The vita outsold the wiiU and is largely taking off all around Asia, more and more third party games are getting localized and made for it because of this.
What do you mean it's dead and why do you love it that the vita failed commercially? Are you the type of person who meme's the system up and ignores some of it's best and most enjoyable games? Are you that type of retard? If so I legitimately feel sorry for you
>>343573448
Dead relative to what?
>>343575151
Every time somebody finds a potential outlet for cracking the system a whistle blower immediately reports it to Sony
>>343577654
It's ok when Apple/Nintendo/Samsung does it.
>>343577783
Really makes you think...?
>>343577654
>You don't need a 64GB card
With how many digital only games there are you sort of do.
>>343577680
Sony just doesnt have brand power to fall back on like Nintendo. Smartphones are too much and sony sucks at marketting to anything but dudebros.
>>343573635
You can't emulate vita when you know literally nothing about how it works
>>343573839
They went with the Apple approach of making their shit expensive because people will buy it anyways, especially since you need one for a Vita anyways and anything less than 32GB simply won't be enough. It's just like with PS+ and Xbox Live Gold, you know it's bullshit to pay for that shit but you also know that there's no other way for you to play online with your friends on those systems unless you buy it.
>>343577915
Why? Explain.
>>343577654
because they are ridiculously expensive with no benefit for the consumer, and it's not like they're even that reliable as you go up in storage space
>>343578009
I don't think you know what you're talking about.
>>343577721
The worst part is that official game websites don't list compatibility either
This is literally the only site I've found that's accurate
http://www.reviews2go.com/playstation-tv-compatible-games-north-america/
>>343576986
Why would someone buy all those? You can't switch cards without reformatting right?
>>343578009
I have 15 games installed and I only have an 8 GB memory card.
the fuck are you talking about
>>343577739
You don't take weekends off, Vitagen?
>>343577348
piracy fuels both hardware and software sales
>>343578114
No, you only need to turn the vita off.
>>343578050
The benefit is convenience and I don't know what you mean by 'reliable'. They have a purpose, to make money and to make it harder to tamper with. Seems like their anti piracy measures work well enough, considering one guy literally was going towards crowd funding to buy more specialized memory readers that kept breaking.
>>343578114
>You can't switch cards without reformatting right?
Who told you that?
The only reason why you'd need to reformat is if you're making an account in another region.
I made my old 8gb card connect to the JP PSN store for those free early demos.
>>343578114
you can literally just turn off the vita and put it in
Bought 5 of these bad boys. Should last me through the upcoming apocalyptic winter.
>>343578114
That's only for region switching
And once you do that you can just switch regions with different cards
>>343577915
I'm currently on a 32GB and kind of managing. I'm not sure if I need a 64 yet especially since I still use my psp for psp games.
I currently have digitally:
Oreshika, Soul Sacrifice Delta, Digimon Cyber Sleuth, Adventures Of Mana, a couple PS1 titles, Sayonara UmiharaKawase and God eater and still have around 6~9ish GB left.
It's manageable at the moment but with future releases that'll change.
>>343578343
how much were they though
>>343578343
>320gb
what the fuck
>>343578170
I find it hilarious that you end up spouting anti Vita shit so much, that you even have your own 'stalking boogeyman'.
Tell me, not even the same guy, what has a console done to you exactly? I feel like its personal enough that you are mentally ill over it.
>>343578256
>They have a purpose, to make money and to make it harder to tamper with.
Yeah, that's more for Sony. The costs for that go down to the consumers paying a premium for 'convenience'. It's also not all that convenient when other memory cards exist, both at lower prices and with more storage.
>>343578039
Given how install data is tied to save data when it comes to vita games and how slow and prone to failure it is to back shit up with the Content Manager Assistant, a vita user is put off by the idea of regularly deleting game skittles even after completing a game since that's kissing goodbye to the save.
This wouldn't be much of a problem if enough games came out physically but, more and more releases become digital only and take up 2+ GB each time.
Of course you can say that one might just subscribe to PS+ to use cloud save but that would just be adding a $50 yearly fee to the vita.
>>343578421

>>343577745
between virtual boy and dreamcast
>>343578546
there is literally nothing wrong with PS+ though
>>343578343
>>343578546
Ignoring the fact that it's like $4 a month for PS+ (and cheaper if you just do what I do and buy them during black friday sales) backing up your system monthly is something you should be doing with any system assuming you have a decent PC.
I just overwrite my oldest file so it doesn't take up absurd amounts of space.
>>343577134
Sony will just blame it on the 3DS's success and lack of mainline Monster Hunter rather than actually admit that jewing the shit out of people with overpriced proprietary memory cards in an age where flash memory is cheap and SD cards exist doesn't work.
>>343578343
You know, you could save some games in your computer.
>>343578472
I'm not even the person who said the console's dead. You sure are defensive for a lackluster handheld though.
I guess this is a good thread to ask. Literally just bought a vita, what should I buy? I was thinking Hotline Miami since it is my favorite game, but what else should I consider?
>>343578658
PS+ free games get shittier and shittier as time goes on, that is something quite wrong with it. It used to be a good deal but man it's just gotten worse since it became an obligatory service for PS4 users.
>>343578809
Go to the general in /vg/
>>343575619
That's....an interesting idea I guess. Didn't know CMA can run from an sd card. But who would want to transfer games on a public computer? I guess if you travel a lot and don't carry a laptop.
>>343578809
Do you like jrpgs and nepnep?
or action type games?
>bought an oled vita with two 16 gb memory cards and some shovel ware/third party accessories for 116 or 132 or some shit
Id say it was a great haul if not for it gathering dust at the moment
>>343577280
I'd actually say that the fact that PSTV isn't even compatible with all vita games is part of what made it flop. I think there's even some games that seem like they should be compatible but aren't.
>>343578826
>PS+ free games get shittier and shittier as time goes on
The problem is all the good games were already free at one point or another, especially when it began.
>inb4 that's no excuse
Should've gotten to it before then faggot.
>>343574279
If it can't be emulated, please tell me they are close to getting CFW so i don't have to buy the games.

>>343578826
I bought a month of PS+ yesterday because it was literally cheaper to buy PS+ and the games I wanted from the sale than to just buy the games.

Backing up a whole 64GB card takes up a crazy amount of time, and in the process of doing so I've had it fail about 3 times midway. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so failure prone.

CFW already exists but it's impossible to put it on your Vita anymore (currently) and at most it could only emulate flagship Vita games that were already on sale for literally less than a dollar.
I mean, if you want to use CFW so you could play SNES games on it then sure, but why not just use the PC?
>>343578809
here is a PIC
>>343578809
whatever EO killer Vitagen is hyping this month
>>343578920
I did get it before and got a couple of good games from it, but I have a hard time justifying keeping it nowadays since most of the time anything halfway decent that gets released is something I already own. PS+ is still probably a good service for someone who doesn't really keep up with video game releases and rarely plays anything.
This game any good?
I hear it's a 1:1 remake of the original GB game.
>>343578114
Look at the price tags, those 8GB cards are something like $24.99 MSRP but they've been slashed down to tree fiddy a piece. That guy got it for a steal.
>>343579025
That just sounds unlucky.
I've only had it fail once for me when I accidentally unplugged the USB cord.
But I understand why it'd be frustrating.
>>343578929
Don't take me up on it, but last I checked you could I think you could only pirate PSP games and maybe cfw. Sony also keeps removing the gateways extremely quick.
>>343572398

Yes, its called buy physical.
>>343577654
>Wii U batteries, Wii U deluxe models, multiple iterations of the 3DS
I don't even have a wiiu or the new 3ds but that's a different thing entirely. You can step off with your console war shit. Amiibo is a fair complaint though.
>>343575348
>Thinking legality has stopped all third parties
How innocent
>>343579258
I remember reading some nice things about it from some guy that played the original in vitagen.
>>343577134
Good. They killed piracy by forcing everyone to pay an arm and a leg for their DRM. It deserves to fail.
>>343572398
They are not that expensive. Buy physical copies of games.
>>343579192
this is all weeb trash nobody play this shit vita games its weeb trash trust me
>>343579528
>Buy physical copies of games
It's not 2013 anymore
>>343579514
Fuck you. Piracy killed support for the PSP.
>>343577739
It failed on the global market, which is what it was marketed to and intended to be successful at. I don't know why you're comparing it to the Wii U, because that's largely considered a failure as well. Sony's cut off first-party title production and global hardware production entirely, which is a pretty obvious sign that he's dead, Jim. It's still on third-party life support in Asia, but Asia is a far smaller market than NA or Europe.
>you love it that the vita failed
I don't, you're taking that way out of context without even reading the whole post. My point was that it's ironic how Sony's anti-piracy measures were rather successful on Vita and yet it still failed to live up to expectations anyway. Clearly it wasn't piracy's fault this time, like they claimed with the PSP.
PSP did far better than Vita, of course, but once sales started declining halfway through its life, they started spewing the "SURELY THIS IS PIRACY'S FAULT" bullshit all over the place.
There is nothing wrong with admitting that your favorite game console isn't successful. Absolutely nobody will argue that Dreamcast was a total failure, but it has a very dedicated fanbase anyway. I personally love the Wii U a lot, but even I know that it just didn't perform well in the market at all.
>>343577654
why do people defend Sony for price gouging, charging 100 dollars for an SD card that any competitor's costs a fraction of? This wouldn't be an issue if they didn't demand you only use their cards.
If you think buying an SD card that only works for a product is the same thing as buying a battery for that specific product or an entire new console, you're delusional. A much more accurate comparison is having to buy an SD or micro SD for your Wii U or 3DS. But instead of the 20 dollar ones, you need to buy a 50 dollar Nintendo one, or else you can't play any games.
>>343579514
>mfw morons dont understand that the memory cards are an extension of the price of the hardware and that anti-piracy measures have more or less secured third party support for the entire life cycle of the console
It's one thing to be a moron but it's another to be so stupid and poor that you're miss out on some of the best handheld vidiya. Serves you right though.

>>343579819
Kill yourself PSPfag.
>>343579528
That might not be an option, since most games on the Vita don't see a physical release.
>>343579658
Which is hilariously ironic since anti-piracy measures killed the Vita.
>>343579898
the vita's getting the next saga game though

Literally no console has that. It could be fast and/or acceptable, but it isn't perfect.

>Are you the type of person who meme's the system up and ignores some of it's best and most enjoyable games? Are you that type of retard? If so I legitimately feel sorry for you
Thanks for confirming you are that kind of retard while spewing false information. The vita wasn't a commercial success but it has an excellent library and literally never ending third party support. I will be playing the games, you will be damage controlling the system that was supposed to keep dying 4 years ago but somehow still gets games lmao
>>343579992
I am assuming you are using PPSSPP, so I have to ask. Do you have any input lag? I tried playing God Eater Burst and Phantasy Star Portable. When I played on emulator, there was noticeable lag between when I pressed buttong and when the action happened. I can't get those games on PSN anymore and my PSP broke, so I can't even buy the games again just to test out if there is lag or I am just crazy.

It also has tons of good third party games, much more than the vita, and most of those games are actually in English unlike the vita
>no good upcoming releases
Doesn't matter because you can emulate many different systems including GBA, so there are literally thousands and thousands of games to play, you won't be able to play all of them.
>>343580260
*Almost perfect emulation
It can run on any toaster and plays almost every single important game
>>343573839
I got lucky and bought a VITA second-hand that included it. I think the guy was just so bitter about the system that he wanted to get rid of it ASAP.I only paid $200 for it all.
>>343580365
>It also has tons of good third party games, much more than the vita, and most of those games are actually in English unlike the vita
Stopped reading right there. Kill yourself and your shit taste.
>tfw hope Vita gets cracked after the console is officially dead
I only say that, because I'm so fucking sick of every damn game not getting a physical release in America. That new God Eater game, and SAO both digital only, I'm gonna have to import both now.
Also hoping for it because the PSP got some rad fucking games translated. Like this game >>343579992
>>343580267
What are you even talking about? You aren't even reading my posts. I never said anything about Vita's library quality at all.
>The vita wasn't a commercial success
Alright, so you actually DO agree with the one thing I actually said. There's literally no argument here. You're being extremely defensive over something I never even said.
>>343576297
yes they are
>>343580519
Wait, the new SAO isn't getting a physical release in the states?
>>343580686
Yep
>>343580531
Stop back peddling. This is what you originally wrote.
>I love how the Vita failed (after a very slow and agonizing death)
You implied it was dead, I proved and you've admitted it actually wasn't, and you said you loved that was it dead exposing you as a console warring faggot
>>343579992
>tfw 1.2.2
At least I can play Extra now without shitty bloom
>>343580686
Nope. I'm fucking pissed after Lost song got one. Physical will be EU and Asia only. Only the PS4 is physical. Why they can't just sell them exclusively online on Amazon or something is beyond me, they are already printing them for other territories.
>>343579742
If you think people are defending it, you're wrong. They're stating why Sony does it. That's not the same thing.
>>343578809
Since its cheaper than a large hamburger at a lot of restaurants, I'd recommend just buying a Nep Rebirth game to see if you like it or not. Ar noSurge has a great story if you can stand its graphics and art style. Those are the ones I recommend because they are on sale.
Despite the fact that I played the hell out of, avoid Conception 2. Its a decent waifu simulator but the gameplay itself is bad.
Its a very niche console for a niche audience.
>>343580107

Lost song and Fragment must not have sold well for bamco to skip out on a physical release for this game. That or they're trying to push the PS4 version, most likely.
>>343580962
I really want to know what distribution costs are like for releasing physical vita games in the west. It's good that outlets like playasia exists though to fall back on but fuck its expensive

Limited Run Games prints their stuff and at least makes back their investment at $25 each for 3,000 copies or some extremely small number. Unfortunately those rates attract scalpers and if they wanted to do a print run of say Atelier they would have to charge the usual $40 price. I think the guy that did Retro City Rampage was able to get his cartridge to $30 each to recoup his losses.
>>343581079
Things like this make me wish I had autism.
>>343581145
Fragment didn't get physical in NA. But yes, I think it's just because they want to push PS4 versions, probably because it's cheaper. However I have doubts that they are selling better. And I feel you, importing on play asia is expensive, mainly the shipping. I don't get how they can't just do it on Amazon, they would gladly do it because they have tons of warehouses and can easily store stacks of games.
To add insult to injury, God Eater Resurrection obviously did not get a physical release in American. However it is getting one in JP and China, no english available. And then the God Eater 2 Rage Burst that includes it, is only a digital code, for both consoles, in all territories.
Being a physical fag hurts.
>>343581564
Interesting
Got a 64GB card + P4G for 124€ off amazon uk, thepound conversion and ports kinda pushed the price a bit.
I'm playing Freedom Wars and I want to pick other game when I finish it
what are some fun/worth copping ones?
>>343580861
You're cutting off half the sentence.
>even despite Sony's anti-piracy lockdown being fairly successful.
That's the actual meat of the sentence, and you'd know that that's what my topic was if you had even read my post instead of seeing the first few words and going apeshit for some reason.
Out of all the posts I've made in this conversation so far, I never "admitted it actually isn't dead". You yourself even said "The vita wasn't a commercial success". I don't know what you're trying to do. Is this some kind of epic ruse?
You're the one that keeps bringing up Wii U and library quality and other console warry shit, not me. All I was saying is that Sony's anti-piracy measures were rather successful and yet the Vita still failed. I'm talking about anti-piracy, not console wars. Please read at least that sentence all the way through. I'm talking about anti-piracy, not console wars. I'm talking about anti-piracy, not console wars.

Are there workarounds for getting cheap multiplayer functionality? Are there any third party companies that have it like back in the PS3/Wii/Wii U/PC/DS/3DS/Vita/PS2 days?
I really can't justify getting this system otherwise.
>>343581752
Is freedom wars still populated?
I just wish they'd fucking update the interface looks like shit everything else I can deal with. I even plan on getting a new vita soon just because its lighter.
>>343581394
so it wasn't a bad translation
thanks
>>343576808
At this point why would Sony even need to rely on the neets to relay the information? All the info is placed on public websites anyway.
>>343582072
I havent tried online yet
>>343581774
You wanna see a dead system? Look at the wiiU, it's getting ONE GAME, next year, that's it.
Meanwhile on Vita :
World Of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest Builders, Ys VIII, Trails Of Cold Steel 2, Atlus's Caligula, Root Letter, God Eater Rage Burst, Summon Night 6, Sword Art Hollow Realization, Gundam Breaker VS Force, Psycho Pass, etc etc
>w-wah this system wasnt a commercial success so lets discuss that instead of its thriving game library and never ending third party support that will keep the console alive for the next 5+ years
This is you.
>>343582335
>>343582072
from what I understand it is populated I play it on occasion and vitagen plays it a lot
>>343582431
Does Sony even give a shit about Vita any at all? No one has even talked about the fucking thing in like 2-3yrs its kind of sad really.
>>343581752
Alright, there's a few games I'd reccomend, all here >>343579192
>>343582582
Well they said no more first party games, that doesn't mean no games or even no good games
>>343582724
I'd hope they'd at least say fucking something even if its just fucking showing off some new third party games but nope.
Is Persona 4 dubbed or can I play it in japanese?
>>343582446
Need to check it
I'm at code 6 atm and the missions are taking quite some time, sometimes I dont get all stars, seriously feels like I do no damage.
got the ez katze at lvl 5 and another one that seems like it shoots 7 shots of some laser beam with round 800-900dmg
what am I doing wrong?
>>343582627
digimon and trails seem fun
>>343582837
Yes, it's dubbed if you play the English version. If you want the Japanese version, import it or buy it from the Japanese PSN.
>>343582431
STILL missing the point. I don't believe it. I'm honestly flabbergasted. I'm convinced you're doing it on purpose at this point.
I don't even know what to say at this point that I haven't already said. Your posts have absolutely nothing to do with what I'm saying, you're just ignoring me and going on about unrelated shit that I never even brought up.
>>343582582
It has 2665 generals, what are you talking about
>>>/vg/147289680
>>343582905
Thats not true you can get the japanese voices in the game thats what I did.
>>343574537
What was the reason for Sony making the cards so expensive? I don't see any possible reason why a normal SD card couldn't work.
>>343572398
Can I play my free PSP games on a vita yet?
Or should I just buy a new PSP?Not a fan of PPSSPP because it's not as comfy as playing a handheld in bed.
>>343582582
So that's all you really wanted to talk about, right? If you hate Sony and want to trash talk the company then don't use the Vita as a stepping stone because you're shitposting a system you dont own or know anything about while shitting on its fans just to make a point about Sony that's irrelevant calling a system dead when it's games is the antithesis of this statement and arguably more important.
>b-but Sony
Go find a PS4 thread.
>>343582862
I still need to play the Trails games, I want to try Trails in the Sky first (I usually start from the beginning of a franchise, so this is kinda new to me since I haven't done it in forever). Cyber Sleuth also sounds like it could be interesting, but that fucking localization, both the translations and the technical issues... Just to give you an idea, Galacta Park should have been translated as Junk Park or something similar, because garakuta means junk, not "galacta". Then there was the bakemon issue, they apparently didn't know that bakemon is a short version of the word bakemono and left it untranslated (or thought they were talking about the Digimon called Bakemon). And the Japanese version is still 60+ dollars.
>>343582998
If you use an undub patch for the PS2 version, sure.
>>343583146
>>Or should I just buy a new PSP?
Pretty much.
What firmware if your Vita running on, on the off chance you're on one that can do PSP emulation natively.
You can get a 16GB card for 15 bucks. You can download all the digital titles you want with that and just back up the shit you can't fit onto your PC or PS3. Even with a 64GB card you're not going to fit everything. I'd say a 32GB one is the best for the price though. You can get one used for around 40 usd.
But using the price of the memory cards as an excuse is just an excuse and it's not a valid one anymore.
>>343583034
$$$
>>343582582
Sony of America probably doesn't care but its doing fine in Japan.
Getting games all over the place.
>>343582958
>>343583150
???
I'm talking about sony itself chill I go to /vitagen/ all the time.
>>343582827
It's whatever. They are literally letting the Vita market run on cruise control and it's still doing well enough for developers to make games for it
>>343578343
Thats not even your image
>>343583297
I want some of these Japan only games but I don't know japanese at all
>>343583193
If I remember correctly I'm pretty damn sure you can switch to subs only... I might be wrong though...
>>343583193
well thats pretty lame, and not to mention I hate digital games.
the digimon is for 20 euro till 13 july so i might get it
You know what just occured to me?
All the times I DIDN'T buy a vita game online because I didn't have space on my memory card.
I know I'm not the only one either.
>yfw memory card prices are LITERALLY what killed the Vita
>>343583314
I think >>343583150 thinks you're >>343581774 (me). He's getting really mad at me for some perceived slight against the Vita, but I don't think he ever actually read any of my posts because I never "shitposted" his favorite console in any way.
>>343583517
That one is getting localized early next year
>>343578929
/hbg/ nerd here
Vita is never going to be hacked.
Its chances of being hacked are half the chances of current firmware ps3 being hacked2 years ago
Nobody wants a cfw more than me anon. I got the console expecting games that I could justify buying.
I can't justify buying vita games.
Only one I can justify is Zero Time Dilemma, but I'm gonna buy that for 3ds. Even though mine is hacked, I just love Uchikoshi and Aksys for making fans happy. No company has done that for a long time.
>>343583571
You could just buy them during a sale and then buy a memory card whenever you feel like
>>343579658
And anti piracy killed vita
Quite the dilemma isnt it
>>343578642
It has more and better games than the 3DS though. Still getting more games u like the 3DS.

Sometime during the day February 19th 2015, the PS Vita was shuffled away from the front page on the US Playstation homepage. That's the day Sony stopped supporting the Vita. A few months before the "Legacy" and "We're not making games anymore" comments.
>>343583517
>If I remember correctly I'm pretty damn sure you can switch to subs only... I might be wrong though...
Maybe if you get the Asian version, I doubt it's in the English version. Would be nice if it is though.
What really killed the Vita wasn't only the memory card prices, but also that if you delete a digital game your fucking save goes away alongside it. Yet no one complains about that bullshit.
Why? Seriously, why?

>>343583897
>Yet no one complains about that bullshit.
You obviously don't know many people with a Vita if you think none of them complain about this.
there is a alternate universe where the VITA took standard SD cards and kills the 3ds
sorry sonyfags, they got too greedy.
>>343584031
If greed secures third party support for the next 10 years, I'd rather that than it being a 3DS where the support has basically already dried up oh but sony made lots of money through hardware sales because it sold 50 mil
nah lmao
>>343584260
>i bought a vita with a year's worth of my allowance and can't accept that it's a dead system
>>343584260

>3DS doesn't
Did a post from bizarro /v/ leak?
>>343584260
the vita had NO support
even from sony
not even mentioned this year at e3
the reason I did not buy one at launch or at any point was mainly the proprietary memory cards and im sure there were many who reacted the same.
It was a very attractive handheld hardware wise but no one is putting up with proprietary storage anymore
>>343584438
don't be mad
>>343584506
The Vita is on weebshit life support.Not that I mind, it wasn't wasted money in its entirety, I love weebshit. Can't wait for Coven.
>>343583758
When I buy a game, I'm gonna want to play that game RIGHT NOW, and I'm not going to want to think about which game I can remove from my card.
Especially since I can't just delete a game off my Vita without also deleting the save file, and if I want to save everything, I'm either going to need a PS+ sub, which is dumb, or use the Vita's retarded PC UI to transfer everything to my PC, which is needlessly obtuse.
It's ESPECIALLY agregious when you don't have to think about these things with literally any other system. Even fucking NINTENDO is more on the ball with this shit. That's how you know you fucked up, when NINTENDO is besting you in terms of user friendliness.
I must have some kind of mental problem
Got a vita and some games last year, enjoyed it so no regrets i guess.
now I want to get a wii U , mainly for fatal frame.
someone send help

God, this. Even the fucking 3DS has a save backup tool for every time you delete a fucking game.

Expressing views that you don't agree with is not shitposting. Please calm down.

I love weebshit too but I am just gonna camp out for it to hit absolute EOL to pick up for nothing
Ive done that with every sony console ever mainly being a PC gamer
Got a PS2 right when the PS3 came out, hacked it and played every great game for nothing.
Did the same with the PS3 and PSP
don't really care much about what microsoft is doing except for Forza

Anyone with a brain can see it isn't dead, don't get so worked up over nothing.
Is there any game like the deathsmiles one for xbox?
>>343585258
I got a lot more playtime on my vita because it has more franchises and individual games that resonate with me but that's subjective. Someone with a love for Smash or Splatoon could sink hours into their wiiU and far less into their vita.
Overall it was kind of a regretful purchase for me personally, I felt the games generally costed a premium for no good reason and were too short to justify the price. I use the gamepad every night to watch anime though which extends its usefulness beyond a console and that is really great and something I realize how much I'd be using. It's also great to look up guides and such without turning on your PC.
XCX was kind of a let down for me in a big way, I didn't pay Fatal Frame but MK 8 is fantastic and WWHD is fantastic. The real reason why the wiiU was kind of a letdown is because the quantity of games I enjoyed couldnt justify the price and cost of the console and the invididual games I felt were too expensive.
>>343585258
Not the same person
I picked one up specifically for #FE and the tablet really isn't intuitive at all. It's just a wider control thing that kinda reminds me of a Gamecube controller with how it fits in my hand with the trigger buttons.
They might not be backwards compatible after virtually all of their systems got hacked through that method.
>>343585829
Oh I get it, that's why I was really wwondering if it was worth at all considering there's some games I really want to play but then there's a shit load I don't care.
Might just pick up the Fatal Frame LE and hope the NX can play it. I noticed new copies of the game run for really expensive and that even amazon uk has one for 110 pounds
even if the nx doesnt play it then at least it has reselling value
>>343583897
What kind of shit? Is this true?
>>343586115
All or nothing. Delete the game, delete the save and DLC. Even the 2GB music DLC you had.
>>343586075
The Skylanders bundle is $170 at Gamestop right now if you don't want to risk it.
