PlayStation Vita General 3183 - Super X Edition

It used to happen relatively often

Calm down bastadon

No need to bring pokemon into things.

How do we save the atelier series?

Wew lad I agree but that isn't me.
Now kindly kill yourself.

Character routes actually have romance with kisses and hugs and hand-holding, regardless of gender

Personally I'll just keep buying the LEs.

Have Atlus buy GUST

You seem to be suggesting it needs more underwear?

You do mean kisses on the cheek, right?

What about on the forehead

Spend the budget of two games to make one actually decent one in two years instead of every year.

Make the next Atelier game have a male main character.

Cheeks, forehead, neck, collarbone, tummy, inner thighs, back of the knee and feet

I forgot, hands too

To the sixth finger?

Atelier Neptune

I think that only works on that Marlen girl.

Ecchi anniversary game with a crossover of the most popular protagonists

Wasn't Escha & Logy rather unpopular? And the Iris games too?

91.5k for PS3
19.9k for Vita

Both for Japan. Mysterious series can only dream about these kind of numbers.

>judges your plat collection

Sophie sold 170k in Japan alone...

Is that on their Financial report? Because sales data give it under 100k.

must produce offspring with Corn

No silly EOP, she's just saying
>What a shame~ I'm wearing a leotard this time as well~

That also has Asia numbers though? So under 100k in Japan is still probably what it sold.

Oh, I guess
I still think male protags are a stupid idea if they're mandatory

The implication is that she wouldn't be if you had more plats.

Well yeah, I do agree with you there. Personally I don't need male protags.

Mysterious series tanked pretty hard in Japan, Dusk series kept the sales way better. Even fucking Shallie that had development problems and was postponed a few times, sold 72.8k in Japan PS3 only. But maybe Asia now buys more, I don't remember if Asian versions were a thing back then. Probably not.

I remembering hearing Sophie was one of the best selling game in the franchise, but that was including all regions.
I personally hated Sophie so much I skipped the two other Mysterious titles.

>If you're complaining about Coven, someone please explain to me why y'all are so obsessed with it. When it was first announced for Japan a couple years back I thought it just looked like a generic dungeon crawler.

It's one of the highest quality Vita game. Take a look at Astrum kingdom:
youtube.com/watch?v=0efTSeQnFRI

You'll see that
1. the mob sprites are animated
2. the dungeon is not made up of walls, but instead bushes, mini towns, etc. The important thing is you have depth perception that helps a lot in immersion.
3. it's probably not shown in the video but you can move your screen a little to look around the world (using right analog stick). i.e. like peeping around the corners (which actually does affect game play).
4. there is night time, say around 20 minutes.
5. the background is animated with clouds moving. Later you even get a (fairy tale style) sun and moon.
6. There is interaction with the dungeon via wall breaking (which actually matters when you are trying to dodge enemies).
7. there are chibi attack animations during combat

Just this alone tells you how much effort has been put into the game.

But that's not all.
1. fully voiced.
2. very good story, especially by drpg standards.
3. zero random encounter : every mob is an object that moves with you (like roguelike). This is why looking around the corner matters, to avoid them.
4. very good fantasy theme that is actually coherent and draws you in. A lot is due to the good dungeons that they made, although having Harada as illustrator and Tenpei's bgm helps too. I think this is probably one of Tenpei's better works.
5. practically zero bugs.
6. a shit ton of unique system, like the Coven party making, a type of gradual perma death. There are quite a lot more.

Yup, I can believe that. I wonder how much the drop was for Firis, In Japan it was quite significant. Personally I enjoyed both still since they offer nice cozy games yearly for me.

>5. practically zero bugs.
NISA will definitely fix that.

Have a good day, Vitagen.

I'd like to see you try and make me.

Have the next game be Atelier Corneria: Alchemist of the Mysterious Music Box

>I don't remember if Asian versions were a thing back then
From what I can remember, the Chinese versions started appearing around the E&L times. Probably includes Ayesha I guess, to make sense.

The gaming unban + Sony's big push of PS4 + incorporating Chinese and Japanese development (SCEJA) probably helped them a lot. Big titles are usually 1~2 months from JP release and quite often same day.

*Atelier Corneria: Onahole of the Mysterious Music Box

You watch your mouth, young man, or you shall be slain by Corneria.

the sun is rising.
It's time to sleep

What game is this cutie from

Is she gonna smother me to death with her delicious flatness?

Have all future games be Corneria & Wilbell's Excellent Adventure

Also it is so difficult to find screenshots of the Chinese versions of Dusk that I think very few people bought that series. I actually can't find any, though I saw Play-Asia stocking Ayesha Chinese LE.

So yeah the boom started with PS4 and hence Sophie onwards.

Thanks for the writeup

>having Harada as illustrator and Tenpei's bgm helps
I could be convinced to buy fucking anything they work on.

For some negatives, the combat system is kinda bizarre so it's not easy to tell whether you made a good party (or choice). It has a lot of different stats and possible party combinations, and I find it quite hard to compare between different ones.

What some others pointed out are
- many characters = long battles (slightly fixed with a speed up patch)
- can be quite random sometimes

You forgot to mention
1. Cute girls with big tits
2. Cute girls with no tits
3. Cute girls with no clothes
4. Cute shotas

1-5 Type my paper tonight
6-0 Play vita now and type paper tomorrow morning

I want to put one penis in Totori

Get cracking on that paper now and stop procrastinating on Veeky Forums.

Work before play user.

I bought a preowned vita mainly for use as a Wii U gamepad for the PS4. However, after doing some research it seems that the vita has absolutely no games on its own. Is this a correct assumption?

Yep, we managed 3183 threads about the console because it has no games whatsoever.

Dokuro
Muramasa Rebirth
uh
Adventures of Mana

I think that's it.

Do half tonight and other half tomorrow morning

Yeah we're on thread #3183 and we have been just posting animu girls to the thread and no games. Oops you found out, please don't tell anyone.

That's not an entirely inaccurate description of these threads.

Not an argument. KS general had maybe five times that

Oh well
Thanks anyway

Care to elaborate on point 3?

The call to play my new vita game is really hard to overcome. I haven't touched it except since the day I've first got it and no one else posts about it here.

Soul Sacrifice Delta

...

If only we had a compilation of the most recommended vita games that we could post as the first reply in these generals and help mitigate these questions. But then again I'm sure you're not actually asking nor actually a new vita owner.

I said point 3, not point 2.

Forgive my english. By "clothes" I mean shirt and pants, in opposition to "underwear". Is there a word for that?

> ports and weebshit

And most of the weebshit is available on PS4 or PC anyways too.

why are you here then

No, I guess that's fair. If you really needed to be clear you'd just say "in their underwear".

Alternatively, saying something like underwear models/bikini babes/bikini armor etc is kinda fun but less clear.

Not for either of those obviously

If the Vita has no games, then why is this general still alive?

So, Killzone Mercenary then?

> shovelware

Too many console warriors define games as exclusives. I hate playing on home consoles, I want portability.

If it's still alive, why isn't it more lively?

Seems kinda dead from where I'm standing.

I don’t have a problem with ports per se
But a console needs at least 5 worthwhile exclusives

If I tell you the vita doesn't, will you leave?

Waiting for DT2-2

The game will still be there once your paper is done user.

Hello?

Yeah?

Hi

But the time probably won't. I'm not going to wake up early just to play my vita, user. A paper is a different story.

You say that while wasting time posting here

If you're not going to wake up early to play your vita then obviously the game a) isn't that important to you and b) is less important to you than your paper. Get to work already.

Also the game will still be there after tomorrow too.

If you could make time in the morning for a paper, then you could make time in the morning for your Vita if you really wanted to.
Or just wait to play Vita later when you're free.

...

Are their fingers going to be okay?

Nothing a little surgery can't fix
