Why The Playstation Vita Is The Best Thing To Happen To Me Last Year

GameStyle - Well in a gaming sense at least. Life has been pretty busy this year, I have a six year old son who does hockey training twice a week, as well as playing hockey games. It means I spend more time away from home at this point in my life, than I ever did before. That in turn means less time to sit down with a home console or PC.

You will be in a treat for Persona 4 Golden, and it will definitely fill your time going to the hockey games.

It took me 93 hours to get everything I wanted to get in the first playthrough, and I still need to do a second playthrough to be able to get everything and get the rest of the trophies.

I need a few more lines to get that 'Hardcore Risette' trophy but for me i spent over 200+ hours on the game to max out some of my most used Personas.

The game made me rememember how great the original game was & it made me sad that a lot of people missed the game cause it came out so late into the life of the PS2.

I even shed a few tears during my playthrough just cause of the heartwarming & brilliant writing of this game. A legendary experience to say the least.

It is a shame that many are not aware of the brillance of the Vita cause of fanboy glasses & just plain lack of knowledge of what is available on the system. There are many many high quality games on the Vita that people fail to see.

Well said and I agree. There is alot of good gaming to be had on the Vita.

KimikoGaming4116d ago

Did you know about the lawsuit filed by Sony against Kevin Butler because he was in a video that had Mario Kart in it?

imXify4116d ago

People just can't understand how the Vita is awesome :P

Protagonist4116d ago

Bradley Marsh did ;)

Great article and Bradley just wait until you try Soul Sacrifife... beyond awesome. The demo alone has replay value!

HarryMasonHerpderp4116d ago

Most of my gaming highlights last year were played on my Vita.
I still get excited just thinking about Gravity Rush!.....that sounded wrong.

Hingle_Mcringleberry4116d ago

Failing to see how that sounds wrong =__=

SamPao4116d ago

:D

well sounds like a part of him got excited...

yeah really, I also fail to see how that sounds wrong :D :D its totally justified

Gravity Rush... I would download everysingle extraepisode! got 100% of everything in there. such a great title

Sketchy_Galore4116d ago

After getting a Vita for Xmas I have to agree with most of this article. I've barely touched my PS3 since I got the Vita (but I'm sure that'll change once this year's big titles start appearing or at least once I get Ni No Kuni). Thanks to ps plus I already had an amazing bunch of games to play the moment I picked it up too. From the big hitters like Uncharted and Gravity rush to amazing low key games like Mutant blobs attack but the absolute best thing on it for me though is the ability to play PS1 classics. They look great on the little screen with bilinear filtering and it's great to be able to lie in bed for half an hour before sleeping and do a little questing in a classic JRPG.

I ordered a vita the week that vita got ps plus. I looked through my download list and discovered I have a backlog of 56 games ready to play on my Vita (since I had ps plus for 2 years--collecting ps1, ps mini, etc games). So on day one of owning my vita, i had 56 games, and there was a sale on psn that same week for Valkyria Chronicles and Disgaea 1 for psp. Add to that my purchase of Persona 4 Golden and now my PS3 is barely ever turned on. I actually enjoy my Vita even more than my ps3 right now.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5214d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5213d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212113d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5213d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5213d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani13d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum14d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman14d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim14d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

I disagree Batman
