You seem to have the money and I'll tell you this, it's one of the most fun games I have played on my PS4. You play as a goddamn pirate, it's awesome lol.

Added.

Does anyone still have the spreadsheet of VitaGAF? Almost everyone has different PSN name compare to GAF's one, it's really hard to remember.

For people that have Ps+ have you ever skipped out on redeeming a game, then a couple of months later want to play said game? I find that I do this way too often.

Did it with Don't Starve. Never again.

It'd be nice. They didn't care when it released in Japan, let's see what happens when it's available worldwide.

I'm still waiting. I don't know why can't I give up hope.

Are we talking about the Vita? I'm sure most developers realized this.

Does that run as a game or a film? If it's the later, do remember that Blu-Ray films are usually region-locked.

The Short Peace part runs as a film but it's region A/B compatible so it'll play on anything other than mainland Asia PS3s.

I too got it on the Vita. I could never see myself playing a game like this while sitting in front of my TV. This seems like the perfect game to play at the comfort of your bed.

Doesn't seem to be out yet in NA, although the PS3 and PS4 versions are... typical Sony mess? Or was the release date later?

It's funny, there was a thread a couple weeks ago basically asking "why would you NOT get every free game PS+" and a bunch of people said they only get stuff they know they'll like. I'm thinking, why not? Just get it and try it eventually...

I totally agree. Man I wouldn't even mind paying, as long as I got to keep all of my saves, friends and trophies from that account.

A lot of people are a good enough judge of their own taste to know they'll never be interested in playing certain games. Until the download list gets improved it also adds a ton of useless clutter too.

Buffy dudes are rare, but if we are talking about sexy guys, then the Vita has more than all other platforms as far as know. In Japan, of course :p.

Really? I'm totally open to recommendations.

There are some for sure, but I'm not seeing an abundance of them, clothed or not. The Vita is lady central to me.

Despite my earlier reservations, I'm think of picking up Natural Doctrine tomorrow. But I know if I do it'll just sit on my shelf for the next few weeks.

I'll give this a read later. I read another review that made it seem like a pass, or at the very least, wait-for-a-sale kind of game. I'll see how the two reviews stack up.

I know I'm cheating, but the amount of otome games on Vita is much more than any other platforms (aside from PC). Other games like Bakumatsu Rock, I think you know already. I'm sure they have found the audience on the Vita, and in the future it will only increase.

Yeah, I had a feeling you meant otome games. Not really my thing usually, besides some standouts like Sweet Fuse. The artstyle is not to my taste, and I don't think it's intended to be. (But I'm always open to it if developers want to give them a shot in the West.)

I mean like really sexy beefy guys in skimpy clothes. Off the top of my head there's Akiba's Trip & Bakumatsu Rock. (One of which had to be suggested by the US publisher, and another that's not even in English, and probably won't be.) Then there's the few characters from the Atelier and DanganRonpa games, though they are usually the exception. Most of the dudes in those games are lithe pretty boys. (Which is fine, but again, not really intended for gay dudes and various other muscle lovers, though I'm sure there are many that enjoy it.)

There's been progress made for sure, but it's still going a bit too slowly for my liking. I 'm getting tired of waiting. I just want some beef dammit. I'm on an iron rich diet.

Sound like they need to make another Chou Aniki for the Vita. That game was amusing.
Click to expand...
That would be awesome, I'm a big fan of that series. But at the same time, I we need more than that. As much as I applaud the Cho Aniki series for its absurdist take on hyper masculine gay tropes in Japanese media, we do need to progress beyond that.

Too often the sexuality of the muscular male characters is treated like the punchline of a joke. Not always in a malicious way, but it's still the overwhelming theme to their portrayal in Japanese media. Or even worse, the muscular dude says something flirty/silly and the pretty boy MC flips out in a panic. Or we can only vaguely hint at any sort of gay sexuality/acceptance, it can never be plainly stated. It's always the gag ending, or some recurring joke. I'm totally over that.

Gimme some hot gay dudes in sexy outfits. Let me fight with them on my team. Let me interact with them in a meaningful way. Let me romance them. Let them be full fledged characters.

I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of the "a ship this big is slow to turn" excuse. Get a new damn boat then. Stop wasting my time developers, and give me some freaking content to support wholeheartedly, not some occasional scraps that I'm supposed to be grateful for. Who are we waiting for? Anyone that would stand in the way of this is not worth considering, because they will never be happy unless others are suffering.[/rant]

Word. That's actually why I like GAF so much, because usually everywhere else I'm met with resistance or some lame excuses.

And the thing is, I'm not interesting in breaking off into my own videogame "country". We don't need to be separate in any way. There's room for everyone at the table!

AMEN BROTHER!!!

Dangan 1 had so much potential lol Gotta love a
bad boy and straight laced rule freak in a sauna together

Though to be honest the Cho serious was a bit...much for me. Besides the fact that I found the men to be actually too muscle filled, it was so delightfully queer that it became an almost annoying distraction.

Quote to reveal the VitaGAF Google Doc.

Edit: Worth pointing out that this Google Doc was created back when he had the Vita threads, so that's why I referred to it as the VitaGAF Google Doc. I'm not in charge of the doc or anything, but maybe it should be changed to PSNGAF?

I was looking on Wal-Mart's site since someone offered to buy me the Playstation TV for my birthday, and I don't see that Sly Cooper bundle that's supposed to be a Wal-Mart exclusive.

I already own Sly: Thieves In Time and don't want the Lego game (not my thing, plus it's digital), and I think it would be easier to resale Thieves In Time than it would be to sell the Lego game... or maybe I'm wrong and the ebay crowd would be more interested in a pro-rated Lego game voucher... thoughts?

I also have to sell the 8GB card (and maybe finally sell my old OG 8GB card as well)... re-upping is annoying.

Actually, does anyone know if the PS4 controller works for everything, or just for remote play? So much vagueness.

Quick quezza:

My 64gb card is somewhere in the ether but it's not too far away now... I spend an awful lot of time on planes and I'm considering using my old 32gb card for movies and TV shows exclusively.

I've never done this. How happily does the vita deal with movie files of various formats and sizes?

Thanks guys!

*DanganRonpa 1 Spoilers*
Taka x Mondo is a great pairing. It's too bad that got cut short, and never got a real conclusion.

As for Cho Aniki, I can understand your feeling about that. I personally think it's all done in the spirit of playfulness with tongue firmly in cheek, but when that makes up a large portion of gay portrayals in Japanese media, it can seem tedious. Gay sexuality is always the joke, especially when it's between muscular men. And a lot of things don't treat it with the good natured humor that Cho Aniki does. Some of it is down right mean, or bizarrely uninformed.

I can't even imagine what gay gamers in Japan have to deal with. I've been told that no one sees it as a big deal, but I find that very hard to believe. Everything has to be underground or fan made. It seems that just in the past year or so, it's slowly getting better, but even that seems fueled more by the fujoshi crowd, and not gay men and women. (Not that I have anything against fujoshis, I think it's awesome. Get it girls.)

I'm sorry to be talking so much about it here, but I'm just so damn sick of waiting for developers to catch up to the needs of gay gamers. Stop dipping your toes in, and dive right in! JUST DO IT. START NOW. THANKS.
