So hate to be that guy but are all the launch titles in the OP? I'm really not sure which games to pick up, I have Uncharted, Rayman, and Katamari yet I really wanna take advantage of the Target deal and not sure what games are recommended.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:So hate to be that guy but are all the launch titles in the OP? I would recommend MvC3, if you're at least a fairweather fighting game enthusiast. It's been said in the thread a few times that the d-pad on the Vita is great, and a lot of articles I've been reading about it say it really exploits the Vita's capabilities. edit: Ugh I missed the Broussard window. What a loving tool. He's the last guy to be taken seriously about anything involving video games... particularly where they involve consoles he hasn't developed for. I wonder if he'd have changed his tune if the Vita were to feature a heavily featured, fully online poker game. He probably would be tweeting from his FEB bundle about working towards the high stakes tables in it. 5er fucked around with this message at Feb 19, 2012 around 15:17 |

CaptainPoopsock posted:As for marketing being the biggest hurdle for the Vita to overcome, I do agree that advertising could be much better for this thing. I'm in midtown Manhattan and this is the only thing I've ever seen advertising the Vita. Time to bring back something like the old Soho PSP billboard… just maybe not so glitchy and busted this time.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:So hate to be that guy but are all the launch titles in the OP? Policenaut runs a tight ship, his OP covers everything. As to your second point: get Wipeout 2048. I wasn't even a Wipeout fan before this and it still rocks my world. Edit: gently caress it, I'm not proud. I need someone with the Michael Jackson game and a PS3 to get in touch about doing some ad-hoc party multiplayer. There is one trophy, and several in-game challenges that require multiplayer wins. I've been playing an unhealthy amount of that game and god drat it Mickey J needs to unlock some more gloves. Also, Google has only helped me find one of the secret freestyle sequences so far, so I need ... I need ... I need to stop talking about my odd obsession with this game in public don't I? Well, that too I guess. Parkingtigers fucked around with this message at Feb 19, 2012 around 15:41 |

Dantes posted:I understand you. Is there a way to ad-hoc without being physically near ? The sequence I found was for Ghosts. Found it by trawling YouTube comments on shaky videos of 3DS gameplay with the 3D slider set all the way to the top so it was unwatchable. That is how deep down the rabbit hole I have fallen. Anyway the sequence for that song was as follows: Circle to the left. Then flick up, up-left, left, down-left, down, down-right, right, up-right, up. Circle to the right. It didn't work on two other songs I tried it on, they must be specific to each track. And yes, I'm hoping ad-hoc party via PS3 will work. I've never used that before, but it's a good time to try.

Did you try watching the "On demand performance" for a song to see if it's possible to find the sequence by looking at it ? I'm seriously asking because I can't find a way to get clues about a secret sequence that would be that long. You can't just randomly stumble upon something like that.

I just purchased Valkyria Chronicles 2 and Patapon 3 using my PS3 and Valkyria Chronicles 2 transferred to my Vita just fine, but Patapon 3 doesn't even show up in the Vita Content Manager. What's going on?

You can upload your data to their server, then download it back, presumably on either device. I havent quite talked myself into buying the same game twice, but once I do Ima be all over that.

I just left my nearby Target and all they had were 2 copies of Dragon Hunter: Alliance and that was it. Not even places for the games coming Wednesday.

Dantes posted:I can't make it work I've thought about doing this, because as you say gently caress doing it at random. I've unlocked a few of the performances, I'll need to check those against the challenge lists. I just tried ad hoc party and apparently I need to plug in an Ethernet cable. Would rather have it confirmed that it works with Vita before I go rearranging my consoles though. Edit: drat. The on demand videos just have MJ doing the default animation when it gets to the freestyle sections, so no clues there. On Bad and Black or White they are short sequences at least. Hopefully some GameFAQS sperg lord will crack the mystery soon. Parkingtigers fucked around with this message at Feb 19, 2012 around 18:39 |

Just left Best Buy and was able to have them match Targets buy two get one deal. Walked away with Wipeout, Lumines, and Touch My Katamari. I would say that is a good haul.

And now it removed Tiger Direct/Circuit City from the Marketplace. Officially dead. Edit: Whoa, Circuit City popped up and I actually got an order in. Edit:  Keep  'ing bros.

I'm not sure I trust it. Someone keeps pointing out on Cheapassgamers that neither site has Vita memory cards listed at all, and that's the price of their comparable MicroSD cards.

They can always cancel the order if they can't honor it. Edit: Or I can return if it is indeed the wrong item and only lose out on a few bucks for shipping.

Like I said earlier, ask an employee they're selling all the games they just aren't out on shelves yet. They only had Dungeon Hunter and Ninja Gaiden out on the shelves but I picked up Lumines, Wipeout and Uncharted without issue.

Helped that the sales clerk I was working with was a really nice guy. Katamari is awesome, by the way. Having a great time with that, haven't even popped in Wipeout or Lumines yet. Got a lot of great gaming ahead of me.
