NSR_Apathy Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Apologies if this is a duplicate, but didn't see anything similar on the first two pages. Really curious about what sells people on the Vita and why gamers decide to buy it. Personally, I heard fantastic things about Persona 4 Golden and after watching a few episodes of the anime (strongly recommended!) I fell in love with the story. The game was def worth it and I recommend it to EVERYONE, especially fans of high-school, slice of life anime, turn based combat, and whodunit mysteries. I completed it recently, but I already have so many fond, nostalgic memories of it, the kind I reserve for games like Final Fantasy X from a decade ago! But ofc, you don't buy a handheld gaming device for a single game (unless it's a 2/3DS and the game is Pokemon X/Y) and I had quite a few PS1-era Final Fantasy games which I wanted to play, but never got around to on the PS3. The Vita was absolutely perfect for those, since they look a lot better on the smaller screen! So go ahead, share your reasons/inspirational short stories for taking the plunge! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSNP is crap i left Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Anime games, PSP Classics and Indies. Other games on the Vita are pretty lackluster in my opinion. Only reason i got a Vita...oh, and because i love Sony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason i got a Vita...oh, and because i love Sony. Anime games like Danganronpa and Virtue's Last Reward, visual novels? I've always wondered what the gameplay was like in those :/ Also, know any good PSP Classic RPGs? Besides Trails in the Sky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion-Lhasa Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 After I saw Tales of Hearts R was going to be Vita exclusive I wanted one, then I looked into what other games were exclusive to the system to make sure it would be worth the purchase. Turns out it has a good library of games I want to play like Sorcery Saga, Demon Gaze, Virtue's Last Reward and so on. I just haven't had the money to be able to fund games atm so my personal library of Vita games is small. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daftprophet Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 A lot of really awesome games, portability of PSVita, PSP, PS1 classics, cross play, cross buy, BINDING OF ISAAC: REBIRTH. But yeah, because I wanted to add more games to my PlayStation collection. IMO, it's a great device and I don't regret ever buying it. Loads of JRPGs as well. ^__^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyroTails Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I worked for a church, and they had a PS3. So on the weekends I'd borrow it and play some games. It was then that I discovered Playstation Plus, and all the free games it gave me. I soon bought my own 500gb PS3 slim to give me more space for the digital library I was getting. Soon they started adding Vita games to PS+ and eventually with it coming up to Christmas I decided to get one for my Christmas present as I was going to be doing a lot of travelling and I had all these free games going to waste, so why not get a Vita. Since then I've discovered incredible titles like Virtue's Last Reward, Persona 4 Golden, Gravity Rush and lots more smaller titles. I also picked up Killzone Mercenary since it was on sale for £7 and I'm very impressed with what the Vita can do graphically. My only dislike of the Vita is that I can't get a bigger memory card than the 16gb one that came with my original bundle of LittleBigPlanet Vita and Tearaway (great deal for £150!) since I want all my digital games on my console at once, and with only 16gb I keep having to swap games out which is lame. I love my Vita, I love getting trophies on the go and I love all the incredible, and many free, titles I have for the system. A must buy for the hardcore gamer on the move, or who wants to earn trophies but not get out of bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandairo Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 ...

You can get a 32gb card in the uk, or you can import a 64gb card from Japan. Kinda pricey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuffyZorugelion Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 There wasnt really a specific game I wanted for it. I had Killzone Mercenary in mind so thats probably what made me buy it. I kinda went back and forth with my decision before deciding. My first game for it was Shinobido 2. No regrets, enjoying the system and without it I would have never played awesome games like Danganronpa and Tearaway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godfire571 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Bought one because of: -Remote play (really wanted to try that out) -The decent amount of games that are released/ being released -Japanese imports -The 32gb memory card (even though it was expensive at the time) so I can play music, videos, more space for games etc. -Cross play/ cross-buy -When I first held one, I really wanted to buy it because of the feel of the ps vita is so comfortable for me, I love the touch screen, dual analog, etc. -I knew right away that ps plus would give some good games for free -I heard that the Vita could be used as a controller for the ps3 (which is true) -Looooooooooooooooooooooove indie games lol -I can download some games that I bought from the PS3 psn store like psp/ ps1 classics I know there's more reasons on why I bought the ps vita, but I couldn't think of more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkPirate2007 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 To be completely honest, it was an impulse buy. But since then, I've bought so many JRPGs and one in particular I really enjoy playing a lot. Normally when I buy something on a sheer impulse, I tend to mess with it for a few days and then move on to something else. But I didn't do that with the Vita. Another reason is that a friend of mine from college said that she played a demo of Gravity Rush at Gamestop and instantly fell in love with both the game and the handheld. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ExHaseo Posted November 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2014 I bought mine, because I assumed we'd be getting Monster Hunter on Vita, like in Japan. Then, they decided to only release it on 3DS, like a bunch of jerks. I absolutely love my vita, and have found tons of games to play though, so I'm glad I ended up buying it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
