Compared to Nintendo's stuff, it's brilliant. The Vita store front is also just very straight-forward and easy to use, probably because being a dead console, it hasn't gotten clusterfucked by marketing people.

I dunno about you, but my download list in both the 3DS and U are pretty all right and I own tons of digital stuff. And I can buy things without a $5 / 5€ spending minimum.

They removed the minimum spending thing sometime last year I'm pretty sure (in the UK at least)

The only Nintendo storefront that's bad is the way they handle Theatrhythm DLC purchasing.

As a general PSA to anyone who might not know, this is a fantastic remake paired with a phenomenal translation. If you like Tactics Ogre games, or FFT, or strategy/tactics RPGs in general you should hop on this. There's a ton of content there, too, with branching story paths, etc.

Goddam, I wish I had the patience for SRPG's so I could get into Disgaea and Tactics Ogre. drat my broke brain :saddowns:

The download list on my 3DS is fine but downloading DLC on many Nintendo games on both the 3DS and the WiiU is a pain in the rear end. For example, someone already mentioned Theatrythm which is comically terrible but I've also found the estore on WiiU doesn't know if I've downloaded DLC or not. First noticed with Pikmin 3 and ran into it again with Mario Cart 8.

From a usability standpoint, the estore is incredibly sluggish.

If you lose your 3DS or it is stolen, reclaiming your account and downloads is far more of a pain in the rear end than it should be because purchases are tied to the device.

Basically, the only thing that is flat-out bad about PSN is the download list but for Nintendo there is a host of annoying things.

When sleeping your Vita, always hit the home menu button first. PSP games particularly remain running even with the screen off if you sleep the vita in the game itself.
Play PE3 instead. It's actually pretty good on the vita due to the extra stick.

That is a cruel cruel joke.

No doubt, it's very dumb and was poor design from the get-go. To make matters worse, I've been running into a weird issue lately where if I try to scroll too quickly through that list, I'll get a network error and have to start from the top again. I'm approaching the point where I think there are around 400 entries on that list so it's... really annoying.

That annoys me to no end, I think it's also part of the authentication issues the Vita has in general connecting to the store.

Experience Inc DRPGs aren't that dickish for the genre compared to older titles (or hell, dungeon travelers had more mean poo poo later on with pit traps and conveyor belt mazes). The only real addition from what I read was potential permadeath and eh I'm not wild on it but that's what saves are for. I do however find it comical they decided you don't have to take a thief/burglar type character but instead added another near essential character to replace it. With operation abyss you were going to have a bad time without an academic, in demon gaze you were forced to take the utility class as the main character and now it's 'okay we won't FORCE a class on you but here's a class that's really important for dungeon traveling and keeping morale up, have fun!' Also not wild on more underwater maps since it means item hoarding but the water levels were mercifully short so whatever.

Mainly curious whether the ninja or the samurai is going to be the option to snap the game in half this time. Or maybe it'll be a surprise class this time, who knows? Warrior's always been a dark horse in those titles.
