okay, you can play Wipeout 2047 and IIRC you can play the HD and Fury tracks in it too

Vita has Tearaway. Was that good? It looked kind of interesting.

And that Uncharted game by the studio that made Days Gone. I don’t know it might be okay if you like Uncharted.

Tearaway has a home port and was not good IMO.

it was really pretty at a time when basic ass 3D platformers were having a renaissance and it being on the vita was novel, it’s not amazing

Tried the Tearaway demo and like the first thing I saw was a live feed of my fucking face shot from the least flattering possible angle (straight up the nostrils). I let out a little yelp and immediately deleted it.

you can play Freedom Wars and then go “this game is okay, the grappling hook is cool but the constant extension of your slavery is tiring”

and then I start selling you on SAO Fatal Bullet

what if you had Freedom Wars except instead of bullshit year long extensions for forgetting to tap the back touchpanel, you get idiot anime cutscenes and stupid hats

was playing mechwarrior 5 with my friend and he stomped through a building full of women and children, which prompted a 45 minute post mission discussion about whether or not what we were doing was morally conscionable. I have to look out for myself man…we’re mercenaries in a ruthless galaxy…I want to be able to retire after this shit

DROD: TCB day 11

So yes, the next part in the central hub did involve having to deal with masses of people moving between locations in a set manner, but ultimately it just came down to knowing when to block a path so that you can get a big enough gap afterwards to run down a one-way hallway before peoples can make it back there. There isn’t a ton to it and the game doesn’t ask a ton, so we’ll leave it as such.

The next real area after a short maze is built around what may be a new clone mechanic, or maybe it isn’t either way it is similar to the existing mimic mechanic. With both the clones and mimics you step onto a tile with a potion and can create a double you can place on any non-occupied room tile. With the mimics they copy your movements at all times and fail to draw the attention of enemies who will always be drawn to the real you. With the clones you switch between each other with the press of the tab key, you only control one at a time and the enemies are drawn to whichever one you are currently in control of.

This means that enemies can surround you on every adjacent tile and if you switch they will leave that one of you alone, which means that the main focus of this section is managing the enemies focus between two and occasionally three points so that they don’t wander to where you cannot reach them and so forth. You then have a couple puzzles where you have both mimics and clones in play, but it manages to stay on the right side of manageable. It is very “DROD” and while there was a puzzle or two that had me crossed up for a bit on average it was a solid section that flowed well enough.

I finished this up by getting a pass so I can enter a slayer gathering of some sort, so the next area at least starts with me surrounded by tons of intelligent enemies trained in hunting me. I’m sure it’ll be fine.

If it is okay with the court I tried that game and everyone that said “The card game is good” was leaving out a lot.

i heard recently the vita has a bunch of good otome games that are still exclusive to it but i haven’t looked this up yet

i mean i guess that counts as being horny for anime, but it doesn’t have to be horny for anime girls

p sure there are some Code: Realize fans on the butt

the caveat there being those escaped the dying gasps of the Vita onto the new Vita, the Switch

and, well, you could be playing Jack Jeanne then

I played the Sea of Stars demo. Hoo boy is it arting all over the screen. I could look at this tree for an hour.

Its has the first dynamically lit/shaded pixel art I have not hated

It is trying so hard to be funny but its pure anime club.
They do the double eyepatch pirate gag right away

He opens with a sight related comment.
Maybe the whole game isnt this but thats what they decided to feature.

The battles were ok.
It has a rhythm based extra attack / parry mechanic but there doesn’t seem to be any indicators in regards to timing. Even the help description is just “do it at the right time”. I dont think I ever made it work but I also cant say for certain I failed as failure is also not communicated. edit: Except the bouncing boomerang weapon, that was easy to keep going but its really explicit when you can swat it.

They got Yasunori “the chronotrigger composer” Mitsuda but the game has no strong themes.

So there you go. I think I will not play this more.
