I do really love my Vita, but what I would like to see on it is more games in the mould of LIVE/PSN offerings. It's fine having some games that offer a near-PS3 experience on a handheld (i.e. Uncharted) but I would like more games like Rochard, the Pixeljunk series, Limbo, Mark of the Ninja, Shadow Complex etc. I have loved these games on my Xbox and PS3, and games of that sort would be such a good fit on Vita but wouldn't require the same financial investment and thus risk of the bigger games.
I think games like this would go down so well and would help the Vita really carve out its own niche and distinguish itself from its big brother. Reply+9
I'd still rather have a noisier PS3 than not have one at all. And it's good and quiet when you play games from the hard drive. I just wish there was an option to install games fully from disc like there is on 360, frankly I can't understand why there isn't. Reply+8
I bought a Super Slim recently, and the biggest argument for digital games is that games is that games running off the disc are so loud! The plastic tray does nothing to muffle the sound of the disc drive, even my wife commented on how loud it was because she thought something was wrong with it. I'm considering buying a Slim for disc games and keeping the Super Slim for digital only! Reply+8
Totally agree. When a game leaves it's history and lore for the player to create... well it's amazing how many people can't grasp the concept. Some people seem to need every detail written down and clarified. For me, this is why Star Wars Episodes 1-3 were never ever going to be good enough; I had spent 20 years imagining the backstory myself based on the few details given in in Episodes 4-6, and nothing could equal that.

It sounds like you are between a rock and a hard place, and I am not surprised that you are indignant at having to buy Dark Arisen on principle. I think perhaps some on this thread are not really reading what you have to say closely and / or not giving it serious thought. I recently upgraded my PS3 and so have plenty of hard-drive space, but I know how tricky it can be when space is running out. Do you know anyone in the U.K. who could post you out a copy? Over here at the moment we can pick one up in Tesco for £18. Reply0
I didn't realise that you couldn't buy the expansion on its own. Seems odd and more than a little unfair for existing D.D. owners to not sell the expansion on it's own.
You could pre-order it for £12 so I expect it won't be long until it's available at that price again. Maybe trade in your copy against it and you'll get it at a price that's more pallatable.
Capcom's practices are highly frustrating though.... thinks of 'Asura's Wrath'! Reply+1
I have to agree that it seems really unfair to keep a patch live that is likely to corrupt save data. How many people playing this game will find out in time to take the necessary action? I'm not defending Capcom, but this charge that exists for rolling out patches will be the basis for their decision. It still doesn't justify Capcom's decision though!
I will say one thing in Capcom's favour... Dark Arisen is great value for money; not at all like Capcom! I held off buying Dragon's Dogma, and now I was able to buy both the original and expansion for less than £20! Reply+2
I'm excited about this because although GT5 was very good, it was still not the classic we all expected, and I think Sony and Polyphony will work so hard to restore the reputation and prestige of the franchise!
It helps too that their is exceptional competition from Forza! Reply+25
Start a petition and I'll sign it. Funnily enough I didn't enjoy it when I first played it, but for some reason I chose to replay it and I loved it. Epilogue makes it even more painful... what would have happened.
Also, am I the only one who enjoyed Forgotten Sands. Sure, it was fired out hastily to cash in on the film, and yes the Prince looked like Cro-Magnon man, but if you push that to the side and appreciate it for what it is.... it's good fun! Reply+1
The last two days my internet has been on and off... and I live in an area with a good connection and speed. IF a console requires always-online then I just won't buy it.
Not to mention that if you have a good, long single-player session and you disconnect from the internet, you use less electricity... tight but true! Reply+2
Now that I think about it, I have bought a lot of S.E. published games this gen. I bought Just Cause 2 twice (once on PS3 and then on 360), Deus Ex H.R., Hitman, and now Tomb Raider. With the exception of Hitman and the 360 copy of J.C.2, all of them have been Day 1 purchases. There has been a lot of positive feedback for all of these games... I find it surprising but also worrying that the company is doing so badly. They are publishers of decent size and high quality single-player games and I would hate to lose them to social of mobile gaming! Reply+14

I loved this game, really well made and terrific replay value. I love these sort of games that we are getting on PSN and LIVE.
