Toukiden: The Age of Demons Review-JustPushStart

JPS Writes: "One of the frustrations every PlayStation fan has is the fact that they may never see a new Monster Hunter game exclusive to their platform. While Capcom has mostly made ties with Nintendo for the main entry of the Monster Hunter series, many fans who played several games on their PSP and PS2 will be disappointed as Monster Hunter 3 and 4 might never see a release on the PS Vita or PS4. While that maybe true, there are developers out there looking to bring the “monster-slaying” genre to the PlayStation platform like Soul Sacrifice and Tecmo KOEI’s Toukiden: The Age of Demons."

I might wait until its down in price or ends up on PS+. I did enjoy the demo though.

The game is really good and it deserves to be brought full price. Besides, it's going to be a good while before it hits PS+ and the demo for this game was over 8 hours long, and that was just the demo.

I am definitely going to get this game, just have to wait a bit. Right now there are so many games out, but I need to get this and Danganronpa for the Vita, both excellent games that deserve to be brought.

Huh? 8.6 is a very good score... I'd only consider not getting a game if I saw it mostly getting below 7/10.

It likely won't hit PS+ for a while. Sony typically does that with 1st party games, not third party.

While I do love the improved graphics (best graphics out of all the "monster hunting" games) I think the other mechanics are lacking. My problem with all of these Monster Hunter clones (I know that's harsh, but that's what they are) is that they think the only fun part about Monster Hunter is the part where you hunt the monsters. But there's a ton of other stuff to do, and it's usually in the "other stuff" department that the other games are lacking. Toukiden is no exception.

Here we go with the whole "Monster Hunter Clone" bit, sometimes you say some very intelligent stuff but this time it doesn't happen to look way.

I guess every FPS in the world is just a DOOM and Duke Nukem clone and every hunting game in the world is just a Phantasy Star and EveryQuest clone. Very sound logic because genres do not exist and no game can ever be similar without being referred to as a clone.

this game is amazing, the graphics are top of the line, and the customization is insane.

10 PlayStation Vita Sales Success Stories

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "A recent piece of news doing the rounds revealed the PlayStation Vita’s top 10 selling games in the United States of America, and it makes for some grim reading. While Uncharted: Golden Abyss rightfully tops the list, it only managed to shift a little more than 400k copies in the States, which is low by the series’ standards and paints a dire picture overall given that it's above all other AAA titles on the list, including Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation, Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified, and Ki llzone Mercenary (although it’s worth noting that this top 10 doesn’t include any bundled software, otherwise  Borderlands 2 would be at the top and Call of Duty at #2)."

I would think Uncharted Abyss and Killzone Mercenaries should be included in the list.

10 Franchises That Flourished on Vita

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "the handheld was unable to attract certain types of software – western AAA development quickly evaporated, as did Sony’s own support, because there weren’t enough consoles out there for such titles to be profitable. But that doesn’t mean that every publisher failed to find success. Indeed, there are a number of franchises out there that have been able to appeal to the Vita’s niche and which have seen positive sales numbers and critical reception, leading to them becoming mainstays on the handheld.

It’s these series that I intend to examine in more depth this article – what they are, what entries we’ve seen, what success they’ve had, and what it’s meant for the console’s future. I’ll be using known sales figures where possible to back things up, hopefully demonstrating that the Vita has been a solid home for a number of great series despite its otherwise weak commercial performance on the market."
