Current Events > Any love for the Vita?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just got one three months ago and I can say it is worth every penny of it including the games.

I've played and finished so far the following:

Child of Light
Gravity Rush
FFX
Darkest Dungeon
Dragons Crown
Disgaea 3

I'm planning to buy one by one the following

P4G
Disgaea 4
FFX-2
Stardew Valley ( a portable stardew valley is very interesting for me)
Wolf Among Us

Anything obvious I might have missed?
---

Muramasa Rebirth is the Vanillaware game that isn't also on ps4. Also my third favorite game of all time.
---

The Virtues Last Reward games are fantastic. I think there's only 2 on Vita. The first is on 3ds and ps4.

That Uncharted game isn't the best in the series but it's still pretty fun.
---

Thanks for the recommendations. I felt like Vita never really got the love it deserved. I've enjoyed my 3ds, now vita has my attention before moving on to switch.
---

if you havent played them on pc/ps3 the legend of heroes trails of cold steel games are the best on the system and there are tons of good vita games
---

Tearaway is cool, and the Killzone game is surprisingly good.

Also keep an eye out for cheap digital PS1 games.

They should have from 9 hrs/persons/doors down to ZTD all on Vita now

I wish it wasn't such a failure. Nintendo needs competition in the handheld market. Now the Switch has changed everything.

Vita is pretty much the perfect device for Spelunky, or at least it would be if there weren't a few parts that lagged a bit.

Borrowed Killzone for a while, didn't quite like the 'theme', but it's quite good in gameplay and graphics.

Any other good FPS?

How about AC in the vita? Is it any good?

Not that I played. I heard Borderlands 2 is pretty good, but has performance problems. Also don't forget you can stream PS4 games on the Vita.

AC Liberation I got with my Vita. It's...not great, but if you can find it for cheap and like the AC series, you can check it out. It plays pretty well for a Vita game.

it's a better PSone Classic than the PSone Classic lol
---

MeiQ is on sale for $4. Really good dungeon crawler

Ah, Vita. Great times.

TC get the 2000 model if you can. Better battery and the screen quality is fine even though it's not OLED.

Also, I can't recommend Zen Pinball 2 enough on the Vita.

The Persona dancing games are a gem too.
---

Hey.
---

Earth Defense Force 2017P
and
Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders from Planet Space

they're fucking amazing!

if you're into baseball, having a Road to the Show career on the go is really cool, you get to play anytime, it's the best opportunity to play multiple season imo.

PS1 games, Atelier games, Zen Pinball 2, Jet Set Radio. if you're into it, Farming Simulator is awesome.

I heard Persona dancing games are good but I've only played Persona 3 so I don't want anything to spoil me if I play Persona 4. Is there an english version of Persona 3 dancing on the vita?
---

TBH I only want a vita for 3-4 games and two are import-only titles, one is that tales of game since I never actually played the original game it's a remake of, and the other is... The Vita function for a PS4 title. :l
Edit: also p4golden
---

Best system for new JRPGs probably this whole decade.

I playing Persona dancing games on Vita 8)

My switch has pretty much supplanted it at this point. The dumb ass memory cards killed that thing for me.
---

the Vita would have been a 3DS killer if sony even tried
---

This far in and still nobody mentioned Freedom Wars. Shit was tite mang.

I like it for what it is. Played the entire danganronpa series on it as well as some warriors games.

Literally only bought it to play P4G and PS1 classics. I'd say it was worth it based on that alone but I recently sold mine.

the vita sucks

Figures that something youd say

Danganronpa 1 & 2 are easily the best games on the Vita imo.

I used to use my Vita all the time, but since they stopped really releasing games for it, I've gone back to catch up on the 3DS games I missed. I just realized last week that my Vita is still on FW 3.58, so I might be able to more use for it soon.

Danganronpa 3>1>>>>2

eeeehhhhh.....

I really, really didn't like the direction they took with it, mainly the ending. I haven't watched the anime of 3 yet, but it sounds a lot more like what I would have wanted.

Also, Ultra Despair Girls was probably one of the worst games I've ever played all the way through. Might have been slightly better on the PS4 with better controls though.

I would easily bought this system at launch if it wasn't for the memory cards.

The ending was the best and i was literally in awe over it cause i didn't expected it from this game at all. It was one of the best game endings ever (to me). Not to mention that i enjoyed more humor, monokubs, and character interactions and
Korekiyo is a best boy

I didn't played ultra despair girls though cause everyone saying its the worst ever

V3 did have some of the best characters tbh. Fucking loved the blue, acloholic, Gene-Simmons-wannabe Monokub "I've got a rock hard rager!"

Even though the ending was definitely unique, I just fucking hated it. Not only did it ignore almost all the story build up of the series and fail to address the post-DR1/2/UDG events, but it basically insulted the game's entire fanbase directly on top of that.

I can't relate at all (insulted fanbase, really?) i loved the cynicism of the ending tbh. And it just made it more realistic for me because i like Japanese killing games trope

This pretty much sums up my thoughts on it:
https://www.polygon.com/2017-best-games/2017/12/15/16735610/danganronpa-v3-killing-harmony-ending-goty-2017

There are many ways to interpret the finale. The most critical of them is that the games developer decided that the sadistic violence of Danganronpa is bad, and that the supporters of the franchise and, crucially, the supporters of their real-life game development studio are culpable in some way for the glorification of that violence. In reading the ending that way, its not hard to find something hypocritical and dismissive about the developers change of heart. It represents a tremendous amount of ungratefulness to the fan base, casting judgment upon them for patronizing such a ghoulish series of video games that the studio designed, marketed and sold.

Would you recommend playing the game first or seeing the anime?

Good thing I just bought a secondhand one, the rest of my collection will be in carts except for those hard to find ones.

Can you guys stop w/ the Danganronpa spoilers? Rude as fuck.

I recommend Collar x Malice if you're a girl. That game was insane for an otome.

I'm not sure. I probably wouldn't have been so disappointed by V3 if I'd watched the anime of 3 first.

Do you not have spoiler tags enabled? If you chose to turn them off or click on them, that's on you.

The only thing we didn't tag as spoilers were when we vaguely discussed our like/dislike of the ending.

No games...

Vita sucks bigtime tc

I got a Vita with my tax return this year and have so far enjoyed just about every title I've picked up for it. It's also a great portable VN machine, which is nice for those nights where I'm too tired to play more demanding games.

Nothing atm, but I have 2064: Read Only Memories, Muv-Luv Alternative, and Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth still to go, as well as a couple other future releases.

What would you recommend? I heard Va-11 Ha-11a is also on the vita. I got it on steam but I wish I should've bought it in vita for the portability. It's so good.

Root Letter is a really good one. The only bad thing is that the ending you get pretty much nothing to do with how you play the game and that you can only get the "true" ending on a replay.

Apparently the game had a big following in Japan, as they're doing a "live action VN" remake with actors portraying the characters and photos of the real-life locations for the backgrounds.

There's also Steins;Gate, of course.

Will definitely check it out! Many thanks.

Yeah, I got the physical version of Va-11 from Limited Run Games during the summer; it's really good, very mellow experience, interesting setting and cast of characters. It's just not a very long game is all. Played perfectly fine on the Vita.

The Muv-Luv series has been VN king for years now, even though it's dated by today's standards. The first Muv-Luv in particular is a complete slog as it's more or less a simple high school romcom, but it's how the devs wanted to introduce all the characters for the main titles.

Utawarerumono is probably my favorite of what I've played though. Has a super likeable cast of characters, a decent SRPG system, and a plot that had me very hooked.

I do NOT recommend Root Letter. I got it in a sale for like $1 and it's honestly the worst VN I've ever played. The story essentially is making a big deal out of nothing, and your protagonist is one of the most unlikable characters I've ever played as, which only serves to pad the game out more. A lot of VN sites actively discourage people away from the game, and I wished I had heeded their advice. Oh, and the game is also heavily funded by the location the game is based on, so there's a lot of shoe-horned in tourism things to entice people to visit.
