So I'm debating getting a Vita..
Man, a pawn shop near me has a Vita on sale for like $80, I'm really tempted to get it. I borrow my buddy's Vita at college from time-to-time, but I can't really think of anything to play on it besides Patapon, MHFU, Cytus: Lambda, and Phantom Breakers. Is it worth? Any other games I should look for? Third-person hack-and-slash in particular?

Ys Celceta. Also maybe akiba's trip? I don't know much about this one.Bedlam wrote:Third-person hack-and-slash in particular?
I haven't tried the fighting game but the spin-off (battlegrounds) is a pretty good beat them up, but it's also on PC for dirt cheap. If you were talking about the fighting game there's also blazblue and arcana heart on vita.Phantom Breakers
Getting a Vita is really dependant if you can tolerate weeb games, in which case it's excellent. There's a ton of great rpgs. Arnosurge, Trails of Cold steel, the Atelier series, disgaea etc. Dungeon Travelers 2 is on par with Etrian Odyssey.
Some other titles I don't know much about but keep seeing recommended include danganrompa (phoenix wright-like), Earth defense force (TPS), moero chronlicle (dungeon rpg), corpse party (spoopy horror game or something idk)
For 80$ I'd get it if it's in a good enough state though it's a pretty good deal

Re: So I'm debating getting a Vita..
Heh, I had no idea Battlegrounds was a spinoff, I thought that was just the thing. And I was referring to that, I got it on PC and I'd love to play it with friends. Also, oh man Blazblue. I haven't touched it since Calamity Trigger though, since no store ever carried a UMD version of Continuum Shift.Jesuiscontent wrote:words go here
Also, I'm down with weeb games, they're usually pretty fun. Also, I was online that a lot of vita games are incredibly cheap, like, wow.
Re: So I'm debating getting a Vita..
It has an all right lineup of non-first party games. Sony just flat-out gave up on it faster than even Sega gave up on the Dreamcast. For $80, I don't see a reason to pass on it. That's nearly 2/3 off of its original price. Just make sure it works.

Re: So I'm debating getting a Vita..
Seems like 90% of the games on Vita are JRPG's, so if you're into all that

Re: So I'm debating getting a Vita..
I used to have one and I decided to trade it back in. Overall it's a very expensive console to own seeing as you have to use overpriced memory cards specifically made for the vita instead of a cheap micro-SD. As for games, it's really only worth getting if you like jrpg's. There are more indie games on it than the 3ds, but you can usually get them cheaper on Steam anyways. The console doesn't have any first party support anymore and the only games coming out are localizations of Japanese games and a few indie games. If you're looking for a better multiplayer system than the 3ds, online is mostly dead. Most stores don't sell a lot of hardcopies of vita games, so you're most likely going to be paying full price in the online store.

I got mine in May 2014 and my entire library is FFX/X-2 and Binding of Isaac Rebirth which I played like 20 minutes off on Vita.

Re: So I'm debating getting a Vita..
Remember that tons of Ps1 and PSP games are available on the store so if you don't mind paying $$$ for those then there's a lot more than just Vita games themselves. For example, you can play the entirety of the main Persona series up to 4 on a Vita.
If you like mystery-adventure games there's the infamous Danganronpa series. There were some rumors about those coming to Steam but right now they're vita exclusives as far as the English versions go. Don't let their fanbase fool you, although flawed and anime-y at times the games are surprisingly creative and take cues from some of the best.
I feel like when somebody finds an easy exploit to hack it without Sony being able to do anything about it, the Vita will get even better.

do not play dangan ronpa: another episode. it's ridonkulously garbage, unlike the main games which only have occasional moments of being bad.Leet wrote: If you like mystery-adventure games there's the infamous Danganronpa series.

Re: So I'm debating getting a Vita..
its ok... not Absolute Garbage... but definitely much worse than the other games. i just think there's a few cool parts in there amidst all the blandness. so i'd say it'd still be worth getting it for super cheap or watching an LP.

i'd contest that any game with that minigame (you know the one) is not worth playing

Re: So I'm debating getting a Vita..
Vita doesn't really have too many great games on it, but has a few really cool but flawed games that I really enjoyed, though they really aren't good. Gravity Rush has probably one of my favorite settings and atmospheres in any game, but the gameplay really, REALLY sucks sometimes. I still recommend playing it, though, if you do end up getting the Vita. (In fact, my location right now is the world of Gravity Rush)
Also, most Vita games go for pretty cheap nowadays, due to the system's unpopularity.

Re: So I'm debating getting a Vita..
Persona 4 Portable was for the Vita, right? That's probably a good choice if you're into JRPGs.

Re: So I'm debating getting a Vita..
So, I'm not getting a Vita. Yet. I'll get one in a few weeks, but it's a much better idea for me to spend my cash on a new computer tomorrow. I'll get one at a later date, though

Re: So I'm debating getting a Vita..
Hyper Dimension Neptunia is actually quite fun.
It's your standard fan service anime from an aesthetic stand point, but the game play is fun as hell. You play anthropomorphised consoles and magazines in a pseudo Dynasty Warriors light.
It's cutesy, goofy, and fun. SO keep that name in mind when you do decide to get one.
