This is actually the only relevant thing in this convo, mate. For someone who doesn't care what I do or do not like, you're going out of your way to prove your point, lol.
Skullgirls was far from a great game, it was playable at best. No great story mode, buggy, and characters were silly and pointless.
You needn't mention Lab Zero any more - I got your point about the product they released the first time you said it.
I don't speculate about anything a studio did, because it's speculation - something you're adept at, but is inherently wrong to begin with.
What I do, instead, is enjoy the final result of a studio's work, whether perfect or not, instead of shi**ing all over it and comparing it to a different game.
I get it - you prefer Skullgirls. You're trophy for doing so is in transit.
@PuppetMaster just because one company was able to, doesn't mean another was - I won't speculate on why something did or did not occur, I can only get the final result. Believe me, I would've loved to have seen a more fleshed-out & completed final version of Fighting EX Layer, but since it didn't I will enjoy it for what it is, even though it's lacking some features.
@PuppetMaster I can't believe the arcade mode ending only showed a short paragraph of monologue with the character portrait π€£
Considering the current, heavily-discounted price?
I don't think they had the finances to do anything more during the game's development, unfortunately π
I already own the digital PS1 versions of these two games, purchased via the PSN to play on my Playstation Vita for like $5 a game (on sale, if I remember correctly). I'll just install them onto my PSTV to play them on my big-screen, thanks.
"Venus Vacation Prism: Dead Or Alive Xtreme" is already pre-ordered - now awaiting the product, simply to both add to the previous 2 games in the series collection, and also to perhaps, find love....?
@Bramble I certainly respect your opinion, mate! π«‘
Unfortunately, I just couldn't even force myself to enjoy it, which is such a shame considering how much I truly enjoyed the prior title. Here's to looking forward to May's entry in the series!
Rest Mode was the enemy of the Vita's memory cards, and based on my own observations, sped up the likelihood of it corrupting. While I cannot state this as absolute fact (my budget for 32gb & 64gb cards was limited), I can say it seemed more than likely!
Therefore, all Sony consoles moving forward will be put into "off" mode.
@JAMes-BroWWWn "Sony just now fully learning and embracing that....." [switching between home/on the go].
It appears as though you've forgotten the Vita/PSTV, and it's hybrid embrace of portability & home console gaming. It was actually years ahead of Nintendo.
@PuppetMaster aaah! No worries, that's what I thought you were referencing. I was excited, and checked PSN Store to see if ANY version of it was available, but alas none were - as of yet, at least!
P3Reload - what, exactly, is going on in the months of December & January??
A complete slogfest of boredom and nothingness, so much so that after playing every single day since acquiring it back in late August? I can't even be bothered to play it to completion now.
I agree, the game's been phenomenal, until the latter part that is.
After buying "Steins;Gate", "Steins;Gate 0" [Vita/PSTV], and "Steins;Gate My Darling's Embrace" [PS4]? There's no need to ever consider another purchase of this title - short of an entirely new game.
Maybe it's because I played them on the PSP, but of all the titles included in Part 2? I'm not interested in either Power Stone game, they really weren't very good.
An interesting idea, but the execution left a lot to be desired.
I still play my Playstation 3 copy occasionally, but with the Dualshock 3 starting to give up the ghost, I'm looking forward to continuing to play on the PS5.
I started playing "EDF 5" about 2 weeks ago - I love it!
I still play "Earth Defense Force 2" and "Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable" on the Vita/PSTV when I'm in the mood for some quick bug obliteration!! π·πͺ°π
Honestly? Kratos is a straight-up punk b***h now. I found it impossible to get more than 30 mins. into either reboot, try as I may. I must agree with David Jaffe on this one, and while they're only 2 opinions, they are nonetheless valid.
Like the Vita and PSTV, it's a definite buy for me. Time will tell how well it fits into the Playstation ecosystem overall, and how long before it gets a price cut (potentially). I tend to enjoy the more ridiculed Playstation peripherals, obviously.
@Rmg0731 oh thanks for letting me know! I have the base-level-only subscription, so I would have to make the purchase as I'm not very interested in the library Extra offers.

Lol - do you feel better getting that out of your system?
Wish I had time to read it all.
And thanks - you have a great day too! π

Re: Sony Remembers the PS3 in Surprise Firmware Update
I played Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn
on it last week, so I still use it - but not as frequently as PS4/PS5/Vita/PSTV
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii?
Until an update of Dead Souls occurs, I will be staying distant from this series as a whole.

Re: 35 PS5, PS4 Games You Should Grab in PS Store's Planet of the Discounts Sale
Folks - skip Doom Eternal altogether.
It's terrible.
Wait for Dark Ages, or get Doom (2016) instead.
You're welcome.

Re: Rumour: PS6 Could Span a Console and Handheld Device
Sony already did this, years ago: Vita & PlaystationTV.
It was imperfect, but also years ahead of this possible future.

Re: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Brought Forward Two Weeks, Priced at $45
@theSpectre yes, it's a bit awkward to use on the PS3, unfortunately - for a few reasons.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 542
"Super Robot Wars X" (R3) on the big screen via the device show on my avatar π«‘
Also, some "Persona 3 Reload" - it's a sad attempt to seem somewhat 'modern'.
Re: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Brought Forward Two Weeks, Priced at $45

Re: Sony Subsidiary Aniplex Ignores PS5 for Fate/Stay Night Remastered
@jrt87 personally, I think they are suited just fine for visual novels - other genres though? Not so much.
Re: Sony Subsidiary Aniplex Ignores PS5 for Fate/Stay Night Remastered
With Backbones & Portals, doesn't the PS5 offer the same VN playing abilities as a Switch, though?
Re: Talking Point: Is It Finally the Right Time to Buy PSVR2?
I'd buy a Playstation Vita or Playstation Vita TV in mid-2024 before I purchased a PSVR2.
Re: Best Uncharted Games
Uncharted - Golden Abyss is the best of the series.
Yes, the other games are enjoyable, but there can only be one No.1 - and it's the Vita version.
Re: That Bad Ass Power Rangers Beat-'Em-Up Is Probably Morphin' to PS5, PS4

That's an awfully long time away, considering it's most likely ready to DL now.

An absolutely excellent title, but only for those who are into this style of game.
