it's better than every vita game not called persona 4

The port had some performance issues, and lol phone game journalism aside, reception to Chaos Rings in general is pretty mixed. Square Enix's intent was to bring more games to PSM, so it must have sold poorly.



You should make a Flappy Bird clone for PSM. Call it "Flandy Bird's Quest to be #1". If you strike while the iron is hot, you might just make some money.

I'm going to assume that the game isn't actually that good and it more of "lol phone journalism"

Ah yes the "fighting games suck because accessibility" thing.

First of all, it's entirely possible to play a fighting game without worrying too much about combos. Just because pro-level players do long string of combos doesn't mean that you can't have fun playing at a moderate level.

Also, if you actually knew what you were talking about you would know that not all modern fighting games are combo-heavy. Street Fighter IV is pretty limited in terms of comboing, it is still a lot more about controlling space, just as in early fighting games.

Arc System Works' games are kind of the opposite, but here's the thing: doing combos in those games is pretty fun. The game logic makes it easy to combo through loose combo windows and input buffers. It's relatively easy to experiment with combos, you can just have fun in Practice mode trying out stuff.

But of course, if you are dead set into considering combos an EVIL thing that exists only to raise the bar to accessibility, you're not going to have fun, you have already made your mind.

Furthermore, the way you just dismissed stfuppercut's argument about input commands being easier only further shows your ignorance. The way modern fighting games are less strict on input commands is a very big deal towards accessibility and is definitely not trivial. I played some old fighting games recently and I couldn't believe how frustrating it was to pull off some of the special motions which I could do with 100% success rate in a modern games.

Ah yes the "fighting games are perfect if you don't like them you don't understand anything" thing.

I passd all my childhood on fighting games that were my favorite genre together with platformers and beat'em ups, and despite all just recent games i played are: tekken revolution, doa5, kofxiii, blazblue ccsex, street fighter x tekken, mortal kombat 9 and probably others, yeah i don't know what i'm talking about.

I don't find combos fun, monster hunter and souls games have many fans because you have to "plan" every single hit like old fighting games, obviously not all the fighting games are the same but the trend is undeniably comb centric.

If you think that who doesn't think like you are wrong well i have some news for you, you are not the center of the world, people have different tastes and you should just deal with it.

You're conflating inaccurate factual assertions about fighting games

Now look at Blazblue, what players want is just to do long combos, they don't try to hit the opponent to do damage, they just spawn combo starters hoping to be lucky.

Another thing is that older fighting games were relatively accessible, you just need to learn how to do circles and times/spaces of moves to play decently with EVERY character, so after little practice there were no big leaps between a newbie and a pro

with focus on combos you need an awful lot of time to learn them, and since they can do a lot of damage they are essential to win, a newbie has really no chance against a pro so people tend to learn and use just a pair of characters.

with your opinions about them:

newer fighting games instead are too focused on combos

I have to admit it, fighting games are dead to me. :'(

Can I really not buy any version of MGS1 on my Vita? I can't seem to find it, but I swear it was released on PSN a while ago.

Buy it on your PS3 then transfer it over

 

[corrosivefrost]

My recollection is that Tomba! 2 is considered better than the original, but I could be wrong. I think it just came along at a bad time -- the PS1 market was on its way out and the PS2 era was beginning. (Even though backward compatibility helped people like me make the transition. I played tons of PS1 games on my new, launch-day PS2 back then...)

If it's truly a Metroidvania, and as good as Guacamelee was, then I'm interested. I've been replaying Guacamelee (dreaming about platinum, crying over my inability to get through Tree Tops) and it's really one of the best such games I've ever played.

Please post impressions.

I will, I plan to start it pretty quickly, though it's going to be through a biased viewpoint, since I already think they took the reboot in the wrong direction. It looks to me to be a LOT like Shadow Complex (360) which I thought I liked when I played it but looking back on it, I think it's gotten a bit overrated and it was merely a competent at times metroid clone.

For the record, I love Guacamelee, I've been a bit of a champion for the game in both VitaGAF and SteamGAF and I've essentially platinum'ed the game twice. It's that good and I'm not even a fan of the luchador stuff, really. If Strider can merely stand in Guacamelee's shadow, it will be good... but for now, the closest thing I've had to Strider (and seems to be the closest I'll get for awhile) was playing Hard Corps Uprising with Sayuri.

Beware. I remember some people in Jan or Dec thread saying that it was having some audio issues because of a firmware update. Don't know if it's been fixed

The port has some framerate issues but so does the IOS version , it is a good game overall , not a game changer but a nice little game. I would recommend ipad version , but the good thing about Vita version is that you have the option to use physical controls or touch controls.

I just bought a PS4 off of Amazon and really want it to hurry up so I can try me some Outlast. That game looks great.

I can't stop thinking about the DLC (not the main game). Same thing happened when I beat the main game for the first. I'll be back to normal in like a week. In the mean time though I need ALL TLoU related things.

I would double dip for a 1080p/60fps version.

I'd need a PS4 first though

Back to Daganronpa!

Quick question folks, if my friend and I want to split the cost of a PS3 coop game and I buy it on my machine and let him download it with my account on his machine we can both play the game at the same time cant we ? Especially as it's within the 2 PS3 system limit as well. Just wanted folks experience on sharing games with friends/family.

Yeah its a pain in the ass having him on your friends list when you do a daily challenge. You get to 3-1 or something like that and feel all bad ass and he makes it to level 4 or 5 and triples your score. Damn you frostyyyyyyyyyyy!

That's the price on PC, so it should be the same on all other platforms.

Praciice and learning, I suppose.
I have people on my list that make me feel inadequate -- I might end up with 100k and they're clocking 250k+ every day. I'm still trying to figure out a gameplan for the 500k trophy.

And now I have to do that again on PC. :lol:
The worst is when you're flying quick and fast and you get a bad level generation...
I was attempting it earlier and I hit the 4-2 stage and it turned out to be a "dark" stage where they just give you a torch.
If you've been to the temple, you can imagine how fun that is when you have <4minutes to get from 4-2 start to finishing the game.
I took one wrong turn, dropped in front of a mummy and was immediately cursed. 3 hearts, 12+ bombs, 9+ ropes all gone when I was sitting at 5:22 elapsed. I was pissed.

Got all the trophies for Stick It to the Man. Decent little casual platforming/adventure game, in spite of some annoying bugs and frustrating stealth sections. Worth the current EU sale price IMO if like the genre and want something simple to pass the time with.

Free tip - you can skip the cut scenes by holding down Select. I figured that out by myself, I don't think the game ever tells you about it.

 

[Fornaximus]

So I bought a bunch of Sound Shapes DLC on my Vita, and it says it should work on the PS4 as well but it won't download. It even says "Purchased" in the PS4 store for each piece, but I got an error when I tried to download them. They were added to the download list and then I was told it could not download them.

Have you tried downloading from in the game?

 

[Fornaximus]

It just says "Purchased!". I know it's not installed because it prompts me to buy the Do You Wheelie Want to Hurt Me pack when I try to play beyond the tutorial. Downloading from the "My Add-Ons" menu in the Sound Shapes overview just leads to "Cannot download" status in the notifications. If I select the notification it says "An error has occurred. (CE-32920-6)".

I tried deleting everything including my saves. No dice.

It's an emotional roller coaster, although looking back at it it's also chock-full of the usual zombie-apocalypse tropes.
