They wrote off 11 billion worth of VIta and PSTV parts in 2015 (Fiscal year 2014) after the Vita TV flopped. I think they were re-purposing Vita 1000 parts to try and use what they already had. They noted that pretty much the entire increase year to year was due to them not having to write off parts this year. They've been hiding Vita numbers since launch, first behind PSP numbers then lumping them in with "others" after PSP was discontinued. I like to search and see if they even mention the Vita in their financial statements.
So, they were losing money on the vitas because they simply didn't sell?

Okay thanks!

Now to start researching what other Vita games I might want to get down the road. Currently my list is made up pretty much entirely of Falcom games

If you have decently good wifi, get helldivers. It's incredibly fun to play and works perfectly with the vita format. Just make sure you play with headphones of some kind, because the mic is on by default (you want it on).

Personally agreeing with bloodychill, but not specifically about epitasis and more about the fact that this thread is off-topic at least half the time, and that's on good days. It would be nice to be able to click on the vita games thread and actually read about games i can play on the vita.

No, but I can import them and play them on my PSP, and this seemed like the most likely thread to hive me a response, because I think the imports thread died.

Given how many of the best hand available on the vita are psp games, I've half a mind to suggest making it a combined thread. Is there still a psp thread?

helldivers does not seem like a great game for vita, not sure i can learn to stroke the back touchpad well enough in high pressure situations.

that's part of the design. they made lots of actions kind of tricky I handle so you have to think more about it or develop really good muscle memory. you'd think on pc it's easier, but the way they made the mouse controls it's almost harder. get used to the game trying to get you to kill yourself and your comrades. :haw:

Breaking RPGs without just doing meaningless grind to over-level requires a lot of strategy and thought, and that's appealing to some people. It's not for everyone, though.

And the Disgaea series is built to be only fun of you embrace that kind of puzzle solving, where the puzzle is not an explicit one, but the combination of all systems in the game.

So Sony is saying "contact support" if your battery dies overnight in sleep mode? Mine has done it every loving night since 3.57. Anyone know what they recommend doing?? I'd rather not call their poo poo support.

Since you didn't read other comments: Contact them so they can collect info about your Vita and figure out why it's happening.

I'm aware of that, but please consider the balance between how many girls and girl-like people there are in muv luv, and how much Daru there is in S;G. At the end of the day S;G pushes, overall, more people away who're simply looking for some eye candy.

When i mentioned Daru i was thinking more about the sheer amount of 2ch jokes, as well as the massive amounts of exposition about LHC-tan and Kerr Black Holes, both of which'll have the eyes of many people who just want some good 'ol titties glaze over.

If I have the bad translation Sword Art Online do I get any added value from going to the redone version at the $5 sale price? Is there extra content to justify it? I really don't care about bad translations, I just want my dose of bad anime and grinding before bed but if there's more bad anime stuff to be had...

The translation on the ps4 version has better grammar, but it's also an exceedingly bland "middle ages rp" translation. The gameplay is also changed in a way to remove some skillful things you can do, iirc skills have massive cooldowns and sp don't matter anymore.

Unless you really hate nonnative English, stick with the vita version.

I'm not even sure where you guys are seeing slo-mo there.

Watch the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JGrU_W_eWtA

This is all in gameplay speed. The gif has the bit where she's running up a wall and transitions into kicks off of it, as well as the spin around the pole. None of that looks slowed down.

The only notable observations are:

The framerate is kind of crap (might be the video though).

The hit pause frames (used in *many* games involving close physical combat) are extremely long. Usually they're just literally 1-2 frames during which the game freezes time to indicate a successful hit, but in this case it's like almost a second, and the camera keeps moving during the pauses and only the people stop. I think they're trying to make it look like an actual anime.

Edit: The whole thing feels like it has the timing sensibilities of Godhand.

It makes it look pretty drat sluggish and in turn loses my interest. Imagine playing an entire game where it feels like you are hitting things in slow motion. It cannot be satisfying.
The feature itself is fine, the pauses are just weirdly long. Toukiden is a good example of how to do it better:

Also a bunch of stuff off PS+ but a lot seems like garbage.
PS+ usually has one good game (Helldivers is great) and a bunch of bargain bin games that nobody would buy otherwise.

The real value is in the automated savegame backups. Make sure you enable them with the yellow + symbol on the game card.

Speaking of those backup saves, do they play nice with saves that were backed up without PS Plus? I did a Vita backup a few months back when I didn't have PS Plus and I want to take one of the saves from that backup and use it. I'd like both preferably but I don't have a lot of experience with the PS Plus backup system.

If you overwrite the save with one from a PC, it'll likely disable the ps+ save, and then prompt you to upload it once you reenable it.

Kagerou Project. If you've played IA/VT Colorful a few of the songs from it are on there like Imagination Forest (the video in IA/VT and the official one are...quite different in tone), Kisaragi Attention and Children's Record. I've never seen it but it's about kids/teenagers with weird eye powers.

EDIT: The forest one was the most bizarre split from themes. 3D vocaloid dressed like a matryoshka doll looking for a way out versus an animated video where a young girl sees her mother's implied brutal murder because she's actually a snake monster and hides in her home for years as a result. Although half of those videos are depressing even without context.

The forest one isn't very depressing though, it's actually really cute:

Also yeah it is eventually, it's just one of those things I found skimming Jin's other videos looking for a few songs off IA/VT I liked (the 1:30 and Hello World? I think it is. And I like Ishifuro's songs off there, the ones with the tiny IA and basic drawings), watched it and kinda went :stare: watching her mother get the crap beat out of her.

I guess matroyshka isn't the correct term for that dress type but it reminded me of my grandma's old dolls like that at first.
Haha, oh man, that sure is a contrast. And it's actually a decent bit weaker without the animations to it.

Also, honestly, having known Utata-P's work before i expected a few more songs like that, but Chiri Chiri Juso is the closest we came, if i remember correctly. (Look up the lyrics to this one.)
