damon8r351 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 As soon as I finish with the game I'm currently playing, I'm thinking of starting Guacamelee again. I was previously playing it on the Vita and it was aggravating to say the least. I think most of my problem was that my right thumb would bump the right stick (which controls rolling) right in the middle of complicated jumping and wall-grabbing sections, causing my little guy to plummet to his death and me to start drinking... Anyway, I want to test a theory, which would be Which version did you have greater success with, the PS3 version or the Vita version? Personally I think my problem was that the Vita has all those buttons crammed on the right in such a small space and that this game is very unforgiving about it. I might have better success using the PS3 controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMON Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 More likely the PS3 version. I didn't really have a problem with it, I still haven't went for the orbs yet but I don't see playing on Vita making them any easier.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummerklg Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I hear it's much easier on the Vita version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidmarkgn Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I hear it's much easier on the Vita version. I personally thought it was much easier on the PS3. The touch screen stuff was kind of a pain and the tiny little thumbsticks made it harder to be accurate with your timing, which in some areas was a death sentence.

JimmyRSX Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I found playing Guacamelle on the Vita much easier. I completed it on hard and got platinum on it so there's that. I love the clicky micro-switch buttons and d-pad, so going from that to the dualshock's spongy buttons feels weird. I hope the DS4 has clicky buttons. Ergonomically it looks like a big improvement to the aging Dualshock, and if the buttons are anything like the Vita's I'll be more than happy. Anyway, I don't get why people play 2D platformers with the analogue stick, especially ones without analogue control like Guacamelle (you can't walk - Juan either runs or doesn't move at all). The only time I used the left analogue is when aiming throws, then after I switched back to the d-pad. Plus you don't have to use the right analogue either, you can use L to dodge which lets you keep your thumb over the face buttons for quicker gameplay. Lastly, to the person who said they kept moving the right analogue by accident when pressing X - I don't get it personally. Whether you hover your thumb over the stick or to the side of it, you'd actually have to move your thumb sideways, whereas you only move your thumb downwards to press the button. All I can say is you must have very big thumbs! :-P Personally the smaller buttons on the Vita are fine for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurvivorBlues Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 The best way to play is to use the vita as cross controller for your ps3. Now you have the best screen with the best d pad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amebapiko Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I played through it all and got the platinum using my vita, never actually tried the PS3 but honestly if you play more on the vita you will get use to it and same most likely goes for the PS3.

Amonares Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Don't have Vita but I think it's a lot easier on PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doppelgangergang Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I've played both versions and I personally choose the Vita. The D-pad on the Vita blows away the PS3's spongy mushy D-pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castlehominid99 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I'm thinking of starting this too on the vita. But if the controls are funky I'll probably play on ps3. Is there a definitive "better version" or is it all just up to personal preference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchCannon54 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'm coming off the PS4 version purely to replay the PS3/Vita version for the trophies (and I like the game) and I've gotta tell you I don't know what idiot mapped the stick to walls button to Triangle (as opposed to just simply holding the stick in the opposite direction) but they deserve a good punch to the face. It's the same button as the Dash on walls and so naturally on shit like Tree Tops you're gonna accidentally dash up or to the right/left when you meant to stick and are just trying to direct your jumps, and on the last section when you have to let go of Triangle, quickly move your thumb down to X, jump THEN shift dimensions and it just gets incredibly aggravating. On PS4 Tree Tops was still frustrating but at least the controls were fair and i think they realised just how annoying this control style was when porting it to the PS4. Is the PS3 version as annoying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
