He has a fair point. Map is confusing but once you start using it you get over it really. Backtracking is integral in a metroidvania so if you don't like it, yeah stay away.

Liking is not the word is use. More like I've gotten used to it. The OS note would feel weird without music lol.
I decided to finish and get all Trophies in Joe Danger (Vita) before the next batch of PS+ games are announced next Wednesday. Or, at least, before they are released the following week. I'm still almost two full episodes away (the last two, actually)... and, fuck, this game is irritating. There are some desing choices that I just can't wrap my head around to explain why the developers decided to implement. And the framerate TANKS in some places...
... but I will conquer it. God damn, I will.

is a metroidvania-like 2D game? If it is, it might be of my taste

Wow I haven't listened to the PSV OS music since I got it.
Reminds me of the Wii Shop Channel music but slower paced.

I had the same idea in mind but the game crashed out of the blue last night, corrupting my save data. It turns out the saves weren't being properly backed up to the cloud.
Well, I don't pass that much time looking at my bubbles so it didn't get annoying. Yet.You mean people don't turn off the home menu BGM within 5 minutes of buying their Vita? (´･ω｀･
Though I suppose there could be some good tunes with the themes.

Fingers crossed that I'll get my Vita tomorrow.
Don't give in to despair.

It's more 2.5D since you can go into the background and such and that's where the confusing map design comes into play. I suggest watching some game play or a review to see what I mean. All problems aside I beat the game and had a blast really.

As stated, TGS just ended - it's still to be announced and I'll make sure to point it out when it is. A friend of mine actually got to play it and says it's quite good, so though it's not big-budget I'm still excited as hell for it and the announcement.
They won't change it.
I haven't really played most of your top five and I haven't finished Gravity Rush yet.
Maybe it's time to do so.
You should, they're awesome games.
Depends of what you want. I think Soul Reaver has hold up better than the others.
I'm playing Wild Arms and the battles feel a bit slow and dated, but it still is a good RPG.

No XSEED logo anymore? That's one step closer to a dissolution...

It looks so good. I'm pissed that I won't be able to grab it.
I remember reading a while ago that Xseed was going to be renamed to Marvelous USA. Maybe it's finally happening.
Persona 4 Golden.
Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery. Very Layton-esque.

I was just watching the Giant Bomb Quick Look of it last night. It certainly looks better than I initially assumed it would.

Hmm, I was debating on whether or not to include that.. I didn't think it fit in the category. I already own it though.
First time hearing about this one, I'll check it out.
Definitely worth the money, but take it as a standalone game, because the sequel is never coming.
I really wouldn't recommend that unless you want to continue the series on mobile devices.
Yeah, licensed stuff like games based off kid's movies are most likely to be the ones to be the last to leave a prior generation behind along with sports games (technically licensed games too) and the occasional super late localization (Sakura Wars was probably the last noteworthy PS2 game and that hit Wii as well, and Saturn got Magic Knight Rayearth as its very last title.)It wasn't the last Pixar movie to get a PS2 game either. Toy Story 3 even got bundled with the system, in 2010.
No, this isn't the question you want to ask. The real question is why the hell do mediocre movie adaptations show up, but not highly regarded classic games like the 8-bit and 16-bit Disney games? We at least got a remake of Castle of Illusion that also included the original version (at least for PSN pre-orders), but I want more of that. Did the people who as kids played stuff like Wall-E even cared half as much as people who played DuckTales or Chip & Dale at the same age?
Soul Reaver! Probably my favorite PSone game (worst case tied with FFVII) great game, too scared to play it again in case it's aged badly will keep my memory of it In tact.

It's tempting but I'm one of those suckers still rocking an 8 GB memory card. I still have to work my way through Disgaea 4 and *gulp* Sword Art Online.
I may not love the game but I spent my money on it so I'm getting all the value I can out of it.
The game isn't that big, I think. Still, once you finish it, after a couple of hours, you'll probably upload the save data and delete it, since there is no replayability.

I enjoyed all the extra mini games in Ultra, and missed them in 2x (it only has one minigame, and it's puzzle oriented). Sure, they're clean up trophies, but they're all cool minigames which is better than collectible hunting.
2x cleanup trophies take about an hour or two (use a guide to find missing bonus level things, race to them, then the puzzles).
Why not? Is episode 2 not out/coming to Vita?
I enjoy most of the mini games, the only three that really bother me are the space invaders clone (it just takes too long to kill each ship and shot speed is slow, so it is very boring), the memory matching game (I hated memory as a kid, at least this was fast), and Smith's Challenge a.k.a. Lunar Landing. Smith's Challenge is about as far from fun as I can imagine, I have always hated that style game and it is so slow and tedious. Plus, did it really need TEN levels? Five would have been more than enough.
But enough hate, Velocity Ultra is an amazing game and I enjoyed every second of playing through and getting Perfects on all the stages. And it is truly #BestonVita because of touch teleporting being amazingly useful in many cases.
Episode 2 is taking forever to develop and it'll come to iOS/Android first, who knows if they'll ever port it to the Vita again.

Keep tracking my Memory Card even though it's Sunday.
Can't wait to load everything on it and buy a few more games. After Monster Monpiece at least.

Same here, except the last update was from two weeks ago. I'm sour.
It came out a month ago on iOS. But sure, waiting to see if a Vita port happens would not be unreasonable.

It's surprisingly good. The problem is that it ends on a cliffhanger, and the second episode is still yet to come out.

Did you use SAL? Usually got for EMS when I order from Japan...SAL can take so long :\
Oh dang. Still not getting it on iOS, it's not that good for me to use my iPad for gaming.
Ordered from SuperUFO, chose the cheapest shipping. It'll be a long wait.
Playing Destiny on my Vita makes me want to get Borderlands 2 Vita. Reviews seems to be mix; some say the game is completely unplayable and some say it's not that bad, but crashes every now and then. I've never played Borderlands 2 though so I don't think I will notice the performance and graphic downgrade that much. Should I get it or not?

i wait with baited breath
I played through all of Borderlands 2 on both Vita and PS3, and I thought the vita version was great. If you are enjoying loot based shooters you cant go wrong with BL2. Vita has slowdown occasionally, but mainly in one early boss fight and one city where it doesn't matter, 90% of the game was fully playable with no noticeable hiccups. Great game for vita in my opinion. Just make sure to customize the controls, I recommend putting crouch and swap weapon on the rear touch screen as you rarely use those (crouch is barely ever used in a game like this and you can swap weapons with the D pad so the swap weapon button is redundant).
It has aged really well. Sure, it's a bit low-poly, but the atmosphere, design, plot and VO are top notch still.
The first Blood Omen, though, well, that one's a bummer. Especially since its crucial to understanding the overall plot of the series.

No judging aha. I personally love SAO so seeing all the girls fawn over Kirito just kinda made my eyes roll a bit. But like I said I put almost 100hrs into the game. I can't remember the last time I've done that with any game.
No it's a terrible mess. Framerate is pretty much unplayable. I bought it on a whim after hearing so much praise about it on NeoGAF, and to this day I still don't get it.
Also it turns out that the analog sticks on the Vita are really not suited for first person shooters, because of the small travel distance.
