    More SCEE PSP price drops (permanent, not temporary sales).

    Looking pretty great and there are apparently others , though it's a bit weird since Killzone: Liberation isn't supported yet.

    Resistance: Retribution is looking pretty good to me, as is Patapon 3. And I'm tempted to replace my physical copies of GoW: Chains of Olympus and both Syphon Filter's with digital copies now. Well done SCEE, you can occasionally do things right.

    People keep saying that Killzone isn't supported. I've had it on my Vita since day one and it plays just fine. Is this a regional restriction?

    Exactly that. I've got Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops on my Vita but can't put Killzone: Liberation on there. But for the US, it's the other way around. SCEA and SCEE are probably just going through the PSP library in a different order.

    Apple may have lead the charge, but Flash has clearly not succeeded in the mobile space. When Android used it as a selling point and it did so poorly that flash stopped working on it, it just proves Apple was right about Mobile Flash.

    Disgaea 3 is pretty great. And it has all the DLC from the PS3 version. I'd expect you're going to wait a year or more for a Disgaea 4 Vita release.

    Oh. Thanks. I heard it was sooner for some reason.

    I'd been looking at picking up a used copy of 3 for my ps3 for years but never got around to it. This is as good a reason as any to grab it.

    I hear it is pretty big, so I think I'm going to pick up a physical copy, since I only have an 8 gig card

    Paint Park is really making me realize how good the touch screen is on the Vita. It is WAY better than my $700 Galaxy Nexus which is supposed to be a flagship hardware device for Google. Some of that is software related too, but still. Love my Vita. Disgaea is almost done downloading too!

    Yeah, that's... Disgaea. The strategy gameplay is really good, but you just kind of have to ignore the story. It's never any good even in a "so bad it's good" way and is always just lowest common denominator pop culture jokes and wiener references.

    Ah. Disgaea 3, great game. I actually loved NISA's american voice acting. They do a pretty damn good job.

    Also note. Disgaea games play hot and fast with the 4th wall. The games...know they are games and have fun with it. The series is basically a giant lark at the SRPG genre. The mood whiplash you are feeling was all part of the plan. They go from grim and serious to "don't touch that dial" in the span of one battle to the next.

    To be fair though. Disgaea takes a backseat compared to the meta weirdness of ZHP. Done by the same team.

    Edit: WHOA! The Paint Park App went up too!

    Disgaea 3 was really enjoyable in Japanese. I suppose the problem is in translation (either from Japanese to English or from the game to my brain).

    I hope Paint Park goes up in Japan today. Is it anything like Draw Something?

    This is incorrect. The original Disgaea actually had a pretty engaging story. The sequel had an okay story with characters that were never that likeable (Except Axel, I guess, by some people.)

    Disgaea 3 just has a terrible story by any standards. I hear 4 does it much better

    Actually, it's not incorrect, seeing as how it's an opinion. It is, however, a very widespread opinion among people who aren't otakus and think things are so kawaii~~(people who aren't biased). Disgaea was less grating than 2 and 3, but nowhere near engaging seeing it was basically a bunch of gags thrown together with a thin story over it.

    Of course I'm not going to go so far as to say you are wrong or anything, but Disgaea having a good storyline is not something that's widely regarded.

    I was more just miffed that someone thinks they can call an opinion incorrect. Funny how no one ever calls that out.

    I wasn't insulting anyone, "otakus" or whatever they call themselves are a very real group of people and there's a lot of them. You can also enjoy a game but admit that maybe the story wasn't good as compared to like, basically anything.

    Makai Kingdom was a Disgaea game? I played the hell out of that, didn't realize it was part of a bigger series.

    And yeah, the storytelling in that was excellent.

    Hey, anyone know if BlazBlue Calamity Trigger Portable is any good? I'm tempted to grab the Vita's own Continuum Shift, seemed like it'd better to play this one first. But I know plenty of PSP ports were stripped way down. So how is it? ;D

    Why would you want to get a non Vita Blazblue game? It is a fighting game. Not like you need to play the previous games to get the story.

    Also was the DS disgaea the first one? I think I liked that story. What I played of it anyway

    A bit of googling says the Vita one has the first game in it anyway, so pfft. I was asking cause I want a fighting game fix, but got no cash for a full price game til payday, and there's still £20 in my PS Funbux account, since Skullgirls isn't out here yet.

    Also, if Blazblue can do that; Vita release when there's already 3 more basic versions of it, then the "it's already on PSN" excuse for excluding Peace Walker from the MGS HD Collection really crumbles.

    Read back over what you said and it should be pretty obvious why he called it incorrect. You made no effort to make it clear that it was just your opinion and even now you've still continued to insultingly refer to the people that do like it as weeaboos.

    Oh and FYI, otakus are basically just geeks in Japan, so technically you're an otaku.

    It basically was. Same gameplay, different story and different characters (though there are always cameos from older characters, Zetta and Pram appear in Disgaea 2 and 3 for example). The story was pretty awesome though, yeah.
