Hotline Miami and Persona 4 are both really, really good. "Two of the best games ever" good, imo. Still, you'd be paying a lot for a vanishingly small overall library. Also, you need to get a giant gigafuck memory card seperate to even play most games.

Depends how much interest you have in mid-to-low budget JRPG's and Monster Hunter clones really.

I keep trying to decide if Sony's biggest gently caress up with it was those stupid expensive memory cards or losing Monster Hunter.

I honestly love mine but it's worthless unless you want it for indies or a specific niche of ultra Japanese games.

Pretty much. I like to use mine and some of the games I have on it, but the loving fact it's basically a handheld for ports/indies/ps1 classics loving kills it.

There is some good stuff on the Vita. A good chunk of the PSP and PS1 libraries are available for purchase. For mainline Vita games the pickings are pretty slim. Persona 4 is really great as well as Killzone Mercenary. There are some decent Monster Hunter like games such as Soul Sacrifice Delta and Freedom War. EDF 2 is being ported over as well.

You should check the Vita op. There is a great effort post about most of the games available on the vita and see if it's worth picking one up.

Protip: buy a big memory card. you will thank me later.

There are two rules of handheld consoles that no one pays attention to

1) consumers don't want a premium state of the art experience on handheld, they want cheap and easy to understand

2) never directly compete with nintendo

It didn't help that the Vita launched about the same time that a lot of people decided that mobile phone gaming was 'good enough'.

yeah there's quite a few EO-ish (well, more like Wizardry-ish, but the family resemblance is there) dungeon crawlers on the Vita, like Demon Gaze or Operation Abyss, and some more coming out within the next year. pretty much all the ones i can think of have a moderate to high anime boob factor though so you're going to have to be able to either enjoy or overlook that i guess

Anyone interested in an Angel Beats redux thread. The VN is finally coming out this week and from the demo, it's quite good in terms of production value.

Do it. I don't really get why people remember Angel Beats however many years later, but maybe there's something I've overlooked.

Finally caught up on Durarara!! season two and just like the first season the main three kids are the worst part of an otherwise pretty cool show.

Looking forward to season three.

I just caught up on it too, and was it just me or did Izaya's sisters contribute precisely squat to the story before disappearing halfway through altogether?

So during the move I fell behind on all of my shows, how are Sound Euphonium and Punchline turning out?

I honestly couldn't tell you. I watched the first four episodes earlier this year then fell out of it for months. They certainly didn't do anything meaningful in the second or third act.

I have been gradually watching Punchline and really enjoying it, though I am only like 5 episodes in.

I am behind on all the animes, but today is going to rain a lot so I might take a crack at catching up.

Narita can create interesting, engaging characters when he wants to. I dunno what his problem is with Anri and Mikado. He seems to have tried with Kida, though he botched it.

I'd have rather spent more time with the Russian hitman whose only defining character trait was asking stupid questions than either Anri or Mikado.
