My question about Amnesia:Memories is: can my character affect something other than the boys' feelings, and is there an ending in which I can say gently caress memories and let's stay with Orion in my head?

No, probably why I disliked Amnesia since there's not much to do other than deal with the guys or bad end all the time.

Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness is out 9/13

Reviews seem OK like it's not especially good or bad. Just about average.

What's a good option for a fun, not too complicated fighting game? I don't really care about depth or complexity of combat just want something light and easy to grasp to mess around with.

On Vita? Dengeki Bunko is pretty good for that. Few buttons, the mechanics are all big and flashy and easy to get, it has assists to mess with.

Divekick is on Vita, and Dengeki Bunko isn't bad.

You can also get Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX and the Power Stone Collection as well.

You should buy Power Stone. Everyone should.

Oh yeah I have that on the ol' PSP. Fun game.

I'm assuming Dengeki Bunko being Japanese only isn't really a problem given it's a fighting game, just have to figure out the menus and such? e: oh whoops guess it is available in English

some of your attacks do HP damage, some of your attacks increase your BRV and reduce your opponnet's BRV. When you hit someone with an HP attack, the damage is based on your BRV. You hit people with BRV attacks to build up damage, and then smack them with an HP attack to do damage. It's a tug of war system where the two players are fighting over BRV and have to decide when to cash in that damage.

That isn't confusing.

That isn't confusing.

The combat itself isn't that confusing (but having to unlock moves/move extensions definitely gets infuriating once you start playing as your tenth barely-there character) but Dissidia drowns you in a million subsystems, many of which are explained poorly and often only in extremely out of the way places. From relatively unimportant stuff like Chocobo paths, to major things like what your character's EX mode does.

I think Dissidia's a really good game and I hope we get the new one sooner rather then much, much later like it's starting to look like, but man the difficulty of finding where you can learn what you need to know in that game is the real difficulty curve of the PSP entries. Seriously, just find an FAQ or something.

If you read twitter after an indie game port gets cancelled or the ones tweeting at retail stores using the old Vita sections with signage for clearance items, I'd say there'd be a few that would need a wellness check.

Crushed? No. Disappointed? Yes

Edit: I mean a next gen Sony handheld... Vita3000 isn't as necessary unless they update the radio to something that can direct link to a PS4 and have better remote play, better analog sticks for remote play of games that rely on the PS4's better sticks, or switch to using MicroSD cards instead of proprietary mem cards (will never happen).

I mean, if Sony doesn't put out a new Vita or something, the 3DS pretty much can do whatever the hell it wants since it's the only game in town. Nintendo could release the New 3DS Pro, and everyone would essentially have to go "Well, I mean, it is the only handheld" instead of "Yeah, no thanks. I'll take the anime machine."

Hmmm, there are people claiming that Tamsoft is behind this game. If those claims are true, it makes me wonder how it would impact any possible SK game planned for the 5th anniversary of the series.
