LordFrieza8920 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I have been contemplating in whether to buy a PS Vita since I recently got back into Trophy Hunting and thought that having the Vita would be another "good" source to get plats and etc. However, I am not sure if it would be a right choice anyways, considering that there may be other "issues" that I do not know about. What do you all think? Should I buy one? Or should I stick to the consoles I currently have? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StacFace92 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I bought one in 2021. I'm also still primarily a PS3 player though and tend to play far behind the current gen. So it depends what kind of player you are. There will be no new Vita games coming from this summer (Sony will stop accepting new game submissions) so look at the games available now to decide if it's worth it for you. And bear in mind that Vita messaging closes very soon, so prioritise any games you want to play with trophies linked to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamurotetsu Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Better now than never if you really want one, especially since Sony backtracked on the PS3/Vita store shutdown. There are some good exclusives like Persona 4, Muramasa: Rebirth, Freedom Wars, Severed and Killzone: Mercenary have been my favourites so far. There's also a fair amount of dungeon crawlers and visual novels if those interest you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordFrieza8920 Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Thank you for the replies. I was more worried that my money would be better suited for other games instead of a new console. I do have some recommendations if I do decide to purchase it. Nonetheless, thank you once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerlayjux Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Depends on if you are a portable person. I love my vita and play it almost daily but that's because I like the portability. There are some very good games that are exclusive to the vita like Uncharted Golden Abyss and Persona 4. Of course if you are just using it for trophies then there are plenty easy trophy games for that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandA60VISE Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 If you do plan on buying one know there's no plans for any more digital game sales and the price of the physical version of most games are going up. As well, the Vita only accepts a specific memory card and they're expensive as well but the standard card that comes with it is enough for about 10-20 games depending on game size and if it's physical or digital. I'd suggest comparing prices of physical and digital and focusing on all the physical games you want before everything skyrockets out of proportion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if you buy it for portability or the games. I'd recommend checking whether the games that you want to get are compatible with the PSTV and get that instead. I paid 40€ for it like 5 years ago and I haven't touched my Vita since. EDIT: Oh yeah, you can even play with the DS4.

Especially when I am going to college during the fall. And, well there are some games i would love to try out that are exclusive to the vita, but also I have my trophy goals. Win-win i would say. 1 hour ago, MandA60VISE said: If you do plan on buying one know there's no plans for any more digital game sales and the price of the physical version of most games are going up.

Even it is more suitable for me to play games hiddenly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDragonfly44 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 i just got one a few weeks ago. Definitely get at least an 8 or 16 gig memory card and pretty much forget about buying anything physical, but i bought the thing pretty much soley to play the older Persona games and i think its the coolest little thing i own 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JungleCat20 Posted May 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2021 ^ I agree. I bought mine this past October and started playing on it in March. It's a neat little device. . 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kishnabe Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Yes. Even as just a remote play device for your PS4 games. Lot of gems on there too. Many easy platinums, if you are into that too. Edited May 30, 2021 by Kishnabe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you all think? Should I buy one? Or should I stick to the consoles I currently have? I think so. The Vita as you may have already heard it a underrated, under appreciated, under supported (by Sony) hand held. But the games that are there are Gems. I love the Vita, and swear by it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Yuber6969 Posted May 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2021 If you like JRPGs, Persona 4 Golden alone is worth the price of a Vita. If you're an anti-digital gamer, I wouldn't get one cause physical Vita games are very expensive. The digital games are mostly pretty cheap though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physical copies of the games I actually want to play are mostly horrendously expensive so I might have to bite the bullet and go digital. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordFrieza8920 Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Guess it is that time for the PS Vita. Most likely I will aim for the digital copies. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice if he was right, though. DualShock on Vita would open up a whole world of precision based games on the handheld for me. I know for example I am never touching a fighting game on the Vita. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP, I would advise against fighting games on the Vita if you're going for plats. I've done it twice, and had a difficult time both times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuber6969 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Just now, Yakon-Inflation God said: Can you elaborate on that more? For one thing, you don't have L2 nor R2. That's two less options for you to map things to, resulting in harder combo challenges. Also, the lack of "handles" puts more strain on your palms when attempting fast and precise inputs like the long combos seen in BlazBlue. You will also have to do extra boosting, and we all hate boosting. For example BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend has a trophy for doing a 90-hit combo. On a PS3, you can do it against an idle 2P. On Vita, you either have to boost it or try it against the AI. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see any fighters on your profile with combo challenges that you can relate to, so I’m going to link a video. Skip to the later half of the video for the really hard stuff. Now imagine doing that with the Vita’s D-Pad or little analog nub. Some people can swing it, but that is definitely not for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
