Be Excellent To Each Other

£6 cheaper and a slightly better selection of games (although it depends what you want out of them) at Gamestop :

Game had the driving pack for £139 in store, but they had no stock.
I'll wait till after new year and see what is around, I've got plenty to be going on with this week anyway.

I fell into the same trap Trooper but never use my Vita.

Whereas I use mine daily.

They seem to go for around £120 on ebay, so if I get one for £140 and I don't like, then i've only paid £20 to try it out

What can you fit on 16 megabit? Secret of Mana, I think.

My sister has a Vita now. Spent all Christmas day playing a Japan-orientated game, based in a Japanese school or something. Looked pretty cool, for fans of the JRPG genre. Know so little about the Vita's software library, but I do think it's looks pretty high technical in a good way.

Probably Persona 4 Golden - one of the top rated titles on the Vita and was on offer just before Christmas for £13

That's the one! I recognise the rotund robot(?) on the box art.

The Vita really is a criminally under-appreciated handheld. It's a terrific machine! Plus, the PS4 Remote Play function and the fact it let me continue playing Assassins Creed Black Flag on my PS4 at home whilst 200 miles away at my girlfriend's parents place over Christmas is largely responsible for keeping me sane over the festive period.

I think the main issue it has is a 'perception' that there are no games , and the fact that its main competitor (the 3DS) had such a great year last year.

The remote play is almost a system seller in itself but I do think they need a few Vita 'special' games this year and I guess we'll see more about it come E3

My Vita is packed with awesome games. This perception (which definitely exists) is wrong.

So's mine, and 95% of those games are from the utterly awesome PS+.

Snap - and my 32gb card is running out of space !

I had to delete good games I don't care about (SFxTk, Mortal Kombat) to make room the other day. The good news is I have 6 GB free on my 32 GB card. The bad news is, I'm down to only games I care about and I only have 6 GB free!

Is 32 the biggest card you can get?

You can get a 64 imported from Japan I think.

What Trooper said. I'll probably just be ruthless and delete more games, rather than upgrade again to the 64. I've got about 20-25 games on there so it's not like there's a shortage of stuff to play (and you can back saves up to the cloud, delete the game, and download it again any time.)

If you delete games, can you re-download them?

I really need to get my hands on a 32GB or 64GB memory card. I have 2x 16GB cards, but swapping between the two is a pain in the arse (it's physically a faff and the Vita needs to rebuild the database each time you do it, which also takes a minute or two). I've got too much stuff to fit on both those cards also, but I think I'd get by with a 32GB card by just being more ruthless. I do silly things like keep Metal Gear Solid 3 on one of the cards because I'm bound to play it one day (though have barely touched it so far) and keeping Gravity Rush on a card because it was such an awesome game, even though I haven't loaded that up since completing it.

FYI its about £60 for the 64 gig card from Japan

Seems to be where most people are getting them from

£40 for the 32 gig card if you can find stock (hard to do at the moment)



Yes , you can delete and re-download them however be careful to backup your saves first

You think that's a faff? You should try having one card thats linked to a uk psn account and one to a japanese account.

Long winded and unneededly so. Makes ke want a second vita just to not have to put up with that carp.

Fuck you, buddy!

Doh! Sorry; got interested in the start of the post and didn't notice the remainder!

Anyone played that Blaz Blue Continental Continum Shifty Shift Rewind Remix 987?

I've just killed someone with 2, 2 Round Perfect's by deliberately just randomly mashing the button like a knob, and a woman whose breasts can only be described as "sentinent" and a phalic staff that seemingly flys off and mashes up your opponent with very little input from you. I'm just glad I picked her first.

It looks utterly gorgeous but, geesh, what the hell is going on?

The Wheels of Fate are spinning!

Our two competitors face one another. A tall woman wears a jacket that is zipped up to just below her breasts. Her breasts have fallen out of her jacket and the zip is, presumably, jammed beneath them. Her breast slam together against an unseen tornado wind isolated to the area just around her chest.

Man in suit has white hair. He loves his white hair. He is stroking his white hair. White hair stroke. Hair stroke white. White stroke hair. Stroke hair white.

This face off is interrupted and the fight gets underway.

Woman throws her stick which spins out like a roulette and smacks the guy in the face. The stick keeps on going flying past the target. Woman punches the air: once, twice, thrice. The man is walking backwards. Woman jumps forward. Forward! Diagonally towards her target she flys! The stick, returning from some sort of cross country trip, slams into the back of white haired man’s head. White hair man jumps vertically.

The woman catches the stick and continues to jump forward towards her prey. Endlessly forward she jumps. She lashes out at the man. The man recoils. The man turns into a Wolf and slashes her across the face but her onslaught of moves is barely interrupted. She kicks, she flays, she lashes out, she smacks the stick over his head, she smacks the stick in his gut, she twirls the stick like a baton around her crotch for a devastating smash to the mans legs (somehow). The man has barely moved but his energy is so low presumably from the onslaught that he no longer wishes to fight.

The time for the final death blow nears. Then it is here! NOW! The woman throws her stick into the air. With a thud the stick lands behind her in the ground. She jumps into the air, landing gracefully on the point of the stick some 6 feet off the ground. She is kicks the air. Again and again. Again. Again. White haired man is making his move. Again she kicks. She seems rooted to the spot. She jumps down off the stick gets kicked in the face then slaps her opponent round the face ending the battle.

I'm enjoying this nonsense.

I am enjoying your account of the nonsense

SEKRET MOVE! My staff has turned into, a, um, that Cheese-String guy from the Cheese-String adverts. I love you Japanese brains!

Cheese-String staff boxes with Hellboy. Off screen: my character. Standing about looking pretty.

Trooper (or anyone else) if your still looking that bundle is back in stock at Gamestop - Vita + memory card plus 10 games for £139.97

Hmmmmm.... My want has abated for now, but interesting.

I have no regrets getting exactly that package last month.

I have downloaded Final Fantasy VII in the Final Fantasy sale. Thank god for lazy Fridays so I can play it at work; I ain't answering the phone all day tomorrow.

Crikey, everyone should be playing OlliOlli - it's like crack. The premise is pretty simple, it's a 2D skateboarding game, but it's fiendishly addictive. The controls seem fiddly at first, but once you get the hang of it you're performing tricks and grinds with ease. Only once you've got the hang of that do you start adding spins too.

I've nearly five-starred all of the Amateur levels, but it will take a Herculean effort to manage to do the same for the Pro ones. Then there's the Rad difficulty setting too!

It got 9/10 on YerpGonks and is £7.99. I've already had hours of entertainment out of it. It's one of those games that makes it feel physically impossible to put the controller down and has led to a few too many late nights.

Terraria isn't grabbing me at all. The idea of it appealed to me, but the controls are really fiddly - I don't know if this is just because I'm playing on a handheld.

I'm loving it. It's clearly somewhat control compromised by the port from mouse to pad, but it's not a deal breaker for me.

I can't seem to build a ceiling to my hut in the tutorial because I can't seem to get the cursor to point at the right block for me to place it. It's infuriating.

Have you changed to Manual Cursor mode? That uses the thumb stick to move a mouse cursor around and is what you want for fine precision. Also, a two-finger pinch will zoom in, which again makes precision easier.

I will give it a try.

Cheers for the Terraria tip, although I think I'll probably wait for Starbound Vita. I appreciate that might be a while.

Wipeout 2048 is brilliant. Fantastic controls. Sweet, sweet Kraftwerk on the menu screens. It's got all this and more!

Is no one else interested in OlliOlli then? It's pretty much the perfect game for this platform. I'm not even particularly bothered about skateboarding, but it's just a great arcade game in the sense it's easy to pick up but fiendishly difficult to master.

YerpGonks gave it 9/10!

I've nearly unlocked all Pro challenges, then it's onto the final difficulty level. It's overtaken Spelunky as my 'just one more go before bed' game.

I was playing it until Terraria ate my life. I've almost unlocked all the amateur levels.

See, I stopped playing OlliOlli to give Terraria a try, but then just went straight back.

Oh, Tearaway is £12 at the moment, btw. It's ridiculous how much of a backlog of games I have on a console with no games!

All Pro challenges unlocked! The Rad mode can fuck off - only perfect landings and grinds allowed or you faceplant. I don't think I've got it in me... time to find the 5 golden skateboards and then I'll keep it installed for the daily grind. What a game!

Papers please port ?

http://www.vg247.com/2014/02/24/papers- ... a-version/

I heard they're also doing Papers please airport, Papers please train station and Papers please post office.

That's right, I can make with the funnies too. Pow!

Number 1 in the world on OlliOlli's Daily Grind mode with about six hours left.
