Should you try a game from the final fantasy series? By all means, do so. Especially if you like JRPG's.

That said, Final fantasy 14 here... Is an MMO, which is kind of a whole new bag of tricks in itself. The game does have a free trial on pc, so perhaps you might want to give it a go first before you decide to fully commit.

"Hatsune Miku proj. Game of the f**kin year right there"

This might be a bit off topic but, believe it or not... I actually bought the vita just to play the first Project Diva f. The second one is one of my highest anticipated games for the vita...

Those Moogles.... Are alive? Wait, what?

Hmm, focusing on ”character strengths, weaknesses, and functionality for adjustment considerations.” No specifics yet I guess.

Still, I had a great time with this game. This was one of those games where I could invite a huge group of friends and we would all just go mental. I remember completely dominating one match as Drake and then laughing like a mad man when bringing out the gatling gun.

Good times... Good times...

Then by all means, go ahead and get a copy. It's a gem on the vita.

I can vouch that you really don't require any amount of Japanese knowledge at all to 'play' the game properly. The tutorial is straight forward and the general layout of the menus are intuitive, thanks to the symbols they use. Plus, there's a menu translation on Project Diva wikispaces.

The only areas which the language barrier might get you would be possibly be the AR and...

Finally! An English release.

I was hesitant to buy the ps3 version since I already had the vita one, but this changes the stakes! Glorious edit mode will finally be comprehensible to me!

It's a difficult question to answer honestly.

One reason might be because WOW, or games in general, work as an escape from reality. Rather than deal with a potential cause of stress a person might turn towards games to forget about the problem. The thing is... The problem won't go away. It eventually grows and compounds itself. As more numerous causes of stress crop up, a person might feel compelled to play more and more as a form of escapism.

Quite an interesting article. That youtube link about operant conditioning was an eye opener as well.

Although I doubt it would get into DSM-5, I can see how people might start paying a bit more attention to cultivating better gaming habits if it indeed was part of it. At the least it might motivate people into thinking about a set of guidelines which both the young and old can follow to make sure gaming is not disruptive and/or destructive.

That said, from ...

Fair warning... The game's lock on camera can get quite frustrating especially with numerous enemies on screen and the relatively small spaces a player might be backed into.

Agreed, it's very much dependent on the context in which the term is used. For example when my friends say I'm gamer, I feel either proud or next to nothing. But when I meet an elder and they ask me whether I 'still' game... I know exactly what they're implying with that expression.

As a late buyer and a person who hasn't used Origin I can't comment on those but...

When it comes to PSN services I'm surprised the PSN outage in April last year isn't mentioned. The fact that Sony did not inform their customers of what was happening until almost a week later is in my opinion one of the worst business decisions this generation. Granted, I do not know what happened during that time inside the Sony conglomerate (i.e. whether they knew it was a h...

To be honest despite the fact that I respect Inafune and his work, I can't say I agree with him 'completely'.

'Assuming' (emphasis on the assuming) there's a market for otaku games, then producers should just go for it. If anything it might improve the install base in Japan which in turn might convince more producers to jump on board. The risk here however is that the console might be limited to only otaku games and lose it's western base. In that ...

Not sure about Japan... But here in Malaysia the support for psvita games is rather low. I hounded three Sony Centre's and a bunch of retail shops a few days after its release and not even one carried a single copy. Most of the retailers don't even know what it is, even two of the Sony outlet attendants were clueless... Needless to say, I was quite amused.

All of the shops still have the older games for the vita though, such as Ninja Gaiden and UMVC. I suppose due to...

And all of a sudden I feel like there are too many monster hunting titles around. Sadly, it won't stop me from getting them all either T_T

I wonder if the UI is fixed. Seems a bit difficult to put the item slot in the middle of the screen as opposed to the left and right.

Hyaa... Looks like I jumped the gun on that one lol. Thanks for the info

I think, when it was initially announced, the platform was for the psp. It's only more recent info which confirms it is for the vita as well. Though that by itself is no proof for either console being the main platform, so don't take my word on it :S

That aside, its looking quite decent. Also... Am I the only one who thinks that the character in the second screenshot is Kota's kid sister? It's only been three years though...

I'm still looking forward to this title, but... was there an originally planned release date for Soul Sacrifice? I don't recall hearing about it.

Toukiden?

And being developed by Omega Force. I wonder if it follows the dynasty/samurai warriors gameplay...
