I beat this alreadyTrying out some of recent PSN purchases. Bastion is nice. Wish it was a bit more zoomed out though. Things look tiny on Vita
It and Borderlands 2 were 2 games I thought were asking too much of the vita.Trying out XCOM on the Vita
It doesn't run very well
The actual combat/run ok. Not very good, but OK. The load times are like a PS1 era game and navigating through the base is a chore. Touch screen is used for zooming the camera in and out and that's about it despite. The cutscents actually look really good, almost like they belong to another game but the framerate on everything else is atrocious. Not a good experience so far but I've only played the intro and one mission. I'll give it some more time but it's close to losing me already
Persona 3 FES or Portable?Playing Persona 3 after Persona 4 is a little weird but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. For one, I like that I've actually been allowed to play the game and have battles within the first hour. However, the personas don't know any elemental attacks right away. So they're pretty much useless right now. Maybe that was the case in P4G and I forgot but it sucks just spamming attack over and over. Still, it's good so far.
P3PPersona 3 FES or Portable?
There's a lot of little tweaks that made Persona 3 Portable better and these were carried over to 4/Golden.
In Persona 3/FES however:
Not being able to simply equip/change companions equipment from the status menu but instead having to directly face them in dungeons were annoying.
No direct control of your partners
Randomly generated maze like dungeons with what feels like a never ending climb.
Plus I felt like the game was a chore and nothing happened until way later and even then the game felt formulaic as hell in an obvious way. It was alright(Music was great) but 4 was way better and 5 is just in another league in pretty much every area.
P3P had those changes that made it more like P4G but then it removed the 3D models/graphics outside of the dungeons so cutscenes and shyt are just still images with audio.P3P
Would've deleted the game immediately if I didn't have direct control over my party. I hate AI partners. It defaults to the partners being SO as did P4G and I turned that to direct control immediately and never looked back
Ok, I didn't even know 3D models were in the original game. It was a little odd for me at first after playing P4G where I got to move my character around but I do like visual novels and point and click games so it's not really an issue. Just seems like a step back, which is the problem with playing a sequel before playing a prior entry. Everything is less streamlined.P3P had those changes that made it more like P4G but then it removed the 3D models/graphics outside of the dungeons so cutscenes and shyt are just still images with audio.
