Fine by me.

**Salodin** · 2012-01-04 22:36

Oh? I thought the portable was $250 to begin with =(

**Souj** · 2012-01-05 00:01

yeah, isn't the US Vita prices supposed to be $250 for wifi and $300 for 3G? I know Europe usually pays more for stuff, but Japan is paying that much for for the Vita too?

**Lucavi** · 2012-01-05 00:13

Put out some fucking decent titles and they might not have to drop the price (yet). Where the fuck are the TRPGs? The racers? Come the hell on.

**Charismatic** · 2012-01-05 00:15

Man, I wish I could get into TRPGs the way I used to. No interest in Disgaea or any N1 games for that matter... Wild ARMs XF was mediocre aside from the soundtrack, didn't even end up finishing Jeanne D'Arc, etc etc

...yet I popped in Kartia and tore that game up last year.

I wonder how many potential Vita buyers such as myself are feeling the same way, but regardless I doubt those games would move systems like more blockbuster games like Uncharted and shit, needs more of that and casual shit if they want to make sales.

I dunno how it's doing so bad... I played with the system last weekend and it seems so awesome it makes me want to import... @__@ That Gravity Rush game is so neat (though don't play that with people around you unless you want to look like a crazy person lol) ... and it can log onto Playstation Network. Screen size is huge and beautiful, the analog sticks feel really nice... the tiny buttons are cute.

The wifi-only model was around $325 in Japan. Never did any research so I can't really say if that would be the standard price for something like that over there, or if it was too much. Their new games tend to sell for more over there compared to here, so perhaps that had a bearing on it.

Everything in japan is expensive.

Disgaea isn't the same as Kartia. I miss that game, and its godlike music.

Sony can talk about sales all they want, and casual this and that. They didn't get my money via a PSP sale until they remade Tactics Ogre, and they won't get my money via a Vita sale until they launch something equally delicious. People (myself included) have bought entire systems over a single game - its all about delivering the right game. Clearly they haven't gotten it right with Vita yet.

Doesn't help when their currency is so strong. Same reason profits are kinda messed up there as well, currency conversion is pretty bad.

exact same reason I bought a PSP, lol

**Doombear** · 2012-01-06 21:54

For me it was Final Fantasy Tactics remake. Nabbed a PSP for it, and I wasn't nearly as bummed as most people were with it.

The slow down killed it for me =(

**Charismatic** · 2012-01-07 00:37

Yes, it certainly did. Without that one factor it would have been great.

**Caiyuo** · 2012-01-07 19:41

Finally just played it recently and got to have the same reaction: "I can't believe they allowed this shit to get released like this"

I got to the last battle in Kartia with the girl (Lacryma, I think?) and it froze up or something.. never picked it up again after that.

I forgot what I did, but I just remember renting it, being kind of indifferent, then buying it one day (figuring it'd be rare), playing it, figuring out the system and being like "OH MY GOD THIS GAME IS CRACK".

**Lucavi** · 2012-01-10 16:18

It was Lacryma, yes, and yes, the game was crack after a certain point. Once you figured out the system and your characters started gaining ranks and getting godlike, you just suddenly hit that point where you couldn't stop playing. I loved the upgradable magic system and the effects it had on terrain. Those 8x8 panel earthquake spells that shot half the scenery into the sky were awesome.

**Ayn** · 2012-01-10 16:24

Yeah, it was that point for me: Once I figured out how to rank up my characters.

God damn. The game's back in a box at my grandparents' house (I have two boxes with all my PS1, Dreamcast, and Saturn stuff) that I've been telling them to send for awhile.. kind of want to go play that now.
