VITA!!!! - The Bear and Badger

Sasukekun

Pandora is amazing. Her low impact doesn't matter at all.

ZMM

Maybe we should make an EG thread

I did the teeny cup international and, how I hate the teeny cup. First hole, got within 35cm, hit it too hard, then AGAIN from a similar distance. Ended up with bogey. I couldn't press and repress the button again fast enough for the teeniest of touchest required to sink the damn ball!

Shinji

Pulled out a -6 on the teeny cup today. Hitting a bit of form

Sasukekun

I, once again had a stinker on Maple Leaf. Not sure what's wrong with me on that course on international tourneys.

Using Pandora I managed a -12 on the Challenge Kagurayama, so I'm certain it's just a mental thing.

Any sign of the patch yet?for golf that is.

You really really should. Â When a game gets this many posts it should have a dedicated thread. Â It's the equivelant of me spamming Skyrim posts in the RPG thread.

Sasukekun

I guess the thing is that there's not a huge amount of games on Vita to talk about at the moment.

Raiziel

No, but it seems every time I come in here it's golf goLF GOLF. Â Go on, treat yourself to a dedicated thread. Â They are free, you know.

Sasukekun

What do you want us to go on about?
Futuristic hover racing? Boy wizards? Tennis players? Deviants? Black and White death addicts? Nathan Drake? Blobs? Football?

Raiziel

If there's nothing general to discuss it is ok to let this thread sink for a while.

Sasukekun

Noooooooo

Raiziel

I'm sure E3 will give us a few things to chat/moan about in here.

Mortal Kombat is good.

Not played loads of it yet but can say that the d-pad is nice for move inputs. Loads of modes and stuff but have mainly just been dicking about in the training mode to get a feel for the oh-so-many characters as not played MK for years.

ZMM

I really, really, really hate hole 18 of Kagurayama. Really really really. Really.

Shit! I blew it on this hole today too.

Got stuck behind a tree beside the pond. Turned a -11 into a +1

Sasukekun

I hate the hole with the tree and rock on the hill next to the green. Ended up scoring a +2 overall. Dreadful.

Not long til Gravity Rush comes out. Anyone else got a pre-order done?

Shinji

No but was tempted by the cheapo Asda preorder. When's it out?

Holy crap, it's never gone that badly for me. Although I've probably would've ragequit even if I had been heading for a +4.

I am really really close to buying one. I just can't hold out any longer and have a Â£300 Amazon voucher burning a whole in my virtual wallet.

Is the browser really as shit as everyone says? Have they updated it for HTML5 support yet?
Mainly I'll be buyng it for the PSP games I missed out on...but what should I really be playing?

They really need to make the PS2 games compatible.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is coming to Vita

Skondo

Bought one of these today along with Uncharted, Wipeout, Lumines and Everybody's Golf. It's currently charging, best get used to that.

JMW

Uncharted - pretty but ultimately a boring slog, Wipeout and Lumines are fine, EG is the star in that bunch.

Skondo

The Vita is going to be returned for refund/credit. Only played for about twenty minutes which resulted in very sore eyes and chronic hand cramps. Must be my age.

Sasukekun

That was an issue I suffered with the PSP. Have had no such problems with the Vita yet, and that's despite the awkward way you need to hold it to play FIFA due to the back panel activated shooting.

Ali

Still hugely enjoying my son's Vita. I agree that Uncharted is a bit of a flat note though. It plays well and looks lovely but the locations are very samey, and I do wonder if that's due to limited card memory space for graphical assets? Wipeout is still magnificent and Modnation works superbly for course building on two touch screens. Shame they didn't have time for online play though. But my son is most taken with Reality Fighters of all things. That Mr. Miyagi features in it also gave me a nostalgia hit. Rayman looks magnificent on the little screen as well.

Symptom of a different developer? IIRC the first Uncharted was slightly less diverse in terms of scenery, despite not having space restrictions. I think there are larger cart sizes they could use if it was a problem for a portable sequel.

My thoughts exactly.
I think Bend did a good job of getting something that FEELS like Uncharted on the Vita, I fully expect their next effort to be closer to Uncharted 2.

If anyone is interested, Playstation Access are giving away demo codes for Gravity Rush via Twitter today.

Birdorf

Not sure if this is a mistake, but I've just downloaded Everbody's Golf for Â£11.99.

EDIT: a quick search suggests there's a sale.

DOUBLE EDIT: Don't know how much it was or if it's any good, but ModNation is the same price.

MEGA EDIT: Metacritic 62 says I might not bother.

Thanks am gonna wait for the real deal though. Don't want no spoilers as I get the impression this could be quite fun.

Uncharted was mildly enjoyable, I liked it. For a launch title it's pretty good I would say. Having great fun with wipeout beating my friends off their leader boards, no problems with headaches etc find ergonomics pretty nice, ultimately I needa nice slouched position with arm rests to put elbows and I'm off.
Looking forward to some some nice big epic RPGs, the quality of the screen and the visuals the games create hold me with great anticipation of what's to come. Great bit of hardware if you ask me.
Got Disgea 3 but if you ask me it's a psp game that's been bumped to the vita. Looks lacklustre and that story line everyone loves I feel is too childish and forced

I want to do more and see more rather than pop into loads of pre-staged battles.

Howdy, Stranger!
