Testicle Clamp Games. Really popular in Japan. Don't see the appeal myself...

So can I just click purchase (with my PS+ subscription) and then I'll have it until my subscription expires? Even if I don't have it all downloaded by the time the month is up?

Lucious Sweet · 24-10-2013 11:35pm

Yes

Correct. Don't even have to start downloading it. Once you've hit purchase, it'll be in your account history if you renew your sub later

New Trapt/Kagero/Deception game announced for Vita:

If anyone doesn't know about these games basically you are stuck in a room with enemies and can only attack them by setting up traps. If you are able to chain traps into each other you do more damage to enemies. It's a tonne of fun so can't wait for this!

Started playing Gravity Rush a little while ago. I cant get into it at all. I think it's all a bit too clunky for my liking

Thomas was alone is pretty good actually but I find that the narrator's voice is a little on the low side. Constantly missing stuff he says.

I had a similar issue. The sound effects of jumping and moving often made the voice difficult to listen to. Do what I did: go to Settings and make sure VO volume is set to 100% and both Music and FX volumes are set to 50%-75%.

Looks great. Reminds me a bit of the Saw films in a way. I'm sure its a loter better than them though

Gravity rush takes a bit of time to get used to I'll admit but you get drawn in after a few missions. I'm nearly finished it. Got caught up playing other games at the same time but thankfully keep coming back for more gravity rush. Seems to be a bit of a Marmite game though in fairness. I'm in the I love it end of things.

I don't suppose anyone could say what it got or what the impression was in general by any chance. They're both blocked at work.

Got a 7.4 from IGN and a 5 from Gamespot.

Haven't read the reviews... I'll be waiting for some more.

Agree, not a fan of Gravity Rush. Probably played it for 30mins to 1 hour and just found it boring. Also not a fan of the Japanese look, and the fact that the woman in the game has huge tits and arse, and tiny waist makes me feel a bit pervy for playing it. Not my kind of game at all.

Otacon · 25-10-2013 3:22pm

It’s happening, everyone. I think there's finally a game you really do need a PlayStation Vita to play and a Vita game you’re really going to need to play—at least judging by the first couple of hours I’ve played of this stunning game.

I’ve not played all of Tearaway. I've just played the first five acts, which may amount to a quarter or a third of the game. I’m smitten and also impressed that a game I'd seen before and not been blown away by could seem to be coming together so well. I haven’t been this pleasantly surprised by a fall game since I first got a take-home copy of Portal in late 2007. I don’t expect Tearaway game to be that good, but it’s certainly as pleasingly distinct. And while I’m not yet ready to say that Tearaway mandates a purchase of a $200 gaming handheld, I can say that the game is unimaginable on any other platform. It is going to be an important game to experience. So, figure out if you can get to a Vita at some point and make a plan to try this game.

I am ready.

Did we play the same game? Kat? The petite blonde with a rather boyish body?

Maybe her tits aren't huge but she is far from boyish looking. http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120705232331/gravityrush/images/c/c9/Kat1.png

You're right. It's like those pervy Japs used Jordan as the template. The dirty bastids…

She's no Rise*... but I still would :P

Is there a Netflix app for the PS vita?

Only on the USA site.

Some have stated that they can get it on our machines by using a US acc, but I've tried and failed.

It would be far simpler if they just put the app on our PS store

murphyebass · 25-10-2013 9:29pm

Just finished gravity rush. Now for something different, on to a downloaded ps1 platform classic in Mickey wild adventure.

MitchKoobski · 25-10-2013 9:42pm

So I downloaded FFIX, but for some reason it won't let me use the thumbstick for movement? I have to use the d-pad. Is this an unfortunate feature of the Vita or am I missing some setting?

Hold down the PS button and an options menu will pop up where you can set controls.

kaji · 25-10-2013 11:17pm

I really want to buy FF 8 and FF 9 but am I foolish buying them at the current prices of €10 each? Are there regular sales or have they been available for free with PS+ recently?

MitchKoobski · 25-10-2013 11:46pm

You can wait, but they are worth the money.

That's pretty sedate by the standards of some Japanese female characters.

Grayditch · 26-10-2013 1:14am

I went from thinking the controls in Gravity Rush were clunky at first, to nicely unique. The game does its own thing and by the end I loved it.
