Sad panda, Tearaway has been delayed until November: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/07/29/tearaway-release-date-update/
The female characters in Dragon's Crown are ridiculous. Maybe they are intended as a "parody" or something, but still I'm not a pre-teen any more. LOL. Stealth Inc. looks pretty good from the videos I've seen. I wish I'd gotten in on the $7.99 pre-order price. Oh well. Now I have to decide between it and Guacamelee. Stealth has a $5 advantage....
Only the sorceress really. The Amazon is just grossly muscular (as is the dwarf), and the elf looks extremely average. The sorceress does bug me though, but I still pre-ordered it anyway.
Tear away doesn't look that much fun for me. Anyways I am really forward to dragon's crown... But I do want to save my money and since killzone is coming out a month later, I am not sure if I want to throw it down $40 to have fun for a month. I might just not get it at all
Stealth Inc: A Clone in the Dark is great! Bought it last night. Plays great on Vita. Haven't tried on PS3 yet. I got my 2nd one of those USB charging adapter things and... it doesn't work either. Now I'm wondering if it's something wrong with my Vita USB cable, because others on Amazon seem to have had luck with the adapter? I tried it with my portable battery and my iPad charger, and neither worked, whether the Vita was powered up or powered down. Weird. I'm not sure I want to buy a new USB cable in order to find out - if it still doesn't work I have an extra USB cable and no use for it. And the cable works fine with the Sony AC adapter, so that makes me think there's nothing wrong with it. Is it possible Sony has locked these adapters out in software or something like that?
Is it a platformer? Saw it on the store yesterday but wasnt sure what it was about and bought urban trials on a whim instead and been having a lot of fun with it. The other two games that are getting playtime right now are Sine Mora and Hotline Miami (my favorite so far)
It's a stealth game, of course! A stealth/puzzle platformer/speed-run game. Initially you just try to complete the levels, but you can also try to speed-run the levels to earn an S rating. I believe you have to get all S ratings in the set to unlock one of the extra levels (that is, there are multiple sets - I'm not sure how many off hand). There's another extra level which you unlock by finding a hidden item. I'm forgetting what it is you are supposed to look for. Right now I'm just working on the initial levels after I complete all those I'll go back and try for S and the hidden items. It also has a little bit of a Portal feel to it, though no portals that I've seen.
Considering I thought Tearaway was a PS4 title, and wasn't coming out until 2014, I really like this new release date It's only been pushed back a month. That's not too bad
Stealth Inc/Bastard is pretty great! It is also pretty challenging, though. I finished the 2nd world last night (not counting the 2 extra levels) and the "boss" level was super tough, but so satisfying once I'd done it. It is pretty heavily a puzzle game, where you have to figure out what steps to take to get past obstacles, so if you don't like that type of game it might not be your cup of tea. Otherwise I highly recommend it.
Uncharted: Golden Abyss is really not a terribly good game. What really gets me are all the "look at this feature of the Vita" bits that are so dull and annoying. The worst are those jigsaw puzzle land mines. Land mines because once you hit one you can't get out without finishing the stupid jigsaw puzzle. Who thought this was a good idea, and especially an idea that should be repeated over and over? There's other things like this, but most at least are mercifully short. Not that they are fun: balance on log. Again. Spin and wipe off object. Again.
Well I hope I do, too. Seriously, Sony has been nothing but a damn doucheface to me lately. They won't reimburse me for the Sonic the Hedgehog ($4.99) that didn't allow me to play after buying the bundle for $30, my Vita's memory card self-destructed and I lost ALL of my data and Sony wouldn't even reimburse me for the memory card (no way I'm paying $100 for another one), and... honestly that's all. But it really sucks when this all happens within a two-week period. Point of this response: I hope they give me a damn Killzone Mercenary Beta code... it's the least they can do. I'm terrified to pop in my Uncharted: Golden Abyss since I'm worried my progress will be gone (I was close to the end, I think). But I remember having a hoot of a time with it! Only thing I didn't like was the escort stuff, but mostly only the one where you have to cover the girl on the bridge in Chapter 6 or whatever. I loved the minigames from what I saw. I'm not sure I know what you're talking about with the jigsaw mines, though... If it's anything like Uncharted 3, there should be a clue that tells you what tiles to step on. Wait, now I just remembered.. are you talking about when you get a bajillion pieces of a picture, and you have to put them together? That was slightly frustrating for me, but nothing too bad.
I actually liked the addition of the puzzle and charcoal rubbing mini games. I absolutely hated the stupid log balancing segments though. Pretty good game IMO. Much better than Uncharted 3, and about even with (if not better than) Uncharted 1.
I don't suppose anyone has an extra code they could give me? I would be willing to gift you a game on the AppStore for it.
Yeah, it's the bajillion piece picture puzzles. You run into them by accident and then get stuck with the jigsaw puzzle with no quick escape. LOL. I also don't really see what is supposed to be "fun" about rubbing the screen to clean (and using the back touch panel to rotate) an object. It's just busy work. It's not a terrible game by any means and I am having fun with it, I just find those bits annoying and pointless. I also really didn't like the cover fire for the girl on (and off) the bridge bit either. That was frustrating. I thought it was later in the game, but I can't remember what chapter. I'm on chapter 16, I believe.
Man, I was asleep while they were giving out the beta codes. Well, hopefully they will add some other ways to get in before too long.
