I just don't get how it's getting all these perfect reviews if you're basically doing these mobile game puzzles in a pretty place for 40 hours. Even if the way you have to connect the lines changes. And I'm all for quirky indie games. Maybe it's one of those "you have to play it to get the praise" games, but right now I don't get the the praise.

Two words.

Jonathan Blow.

Im sure if it wasnt made by him it wouldnt be getting nearly the same praise. I say this without ever playing the game or intending to play it.

Can we change the name to Phil Fish and watch critics fawn and gamers scorn? That'd be fun.

I like indie games just fine, but is it just me or are these games largely starting to look and feel the same? Even that new Insomniac game looks familiar. I realize with the wealth of games releasing it's bound to happen more than once but still can't shake the feeling.

Apparently Insomniac's new game has a title (Song of the Deep), will release digitally on PS4/XB1/PC in Q2 of this year, and will be published by Gamestop (who will exclusively sell physical copies): http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/01/28/insomniac-and-gamestop-announce-publishing-partnership-with-song-of-the-deep

...WTF?

Also, tie-in merchandise:

Interesting partnership. Sucks that it's GameStop cuz no 20% off, but I wonder if GameStop will be doing that more in the future.

I would think they have to start getting creative like that to compete with things like BB GCU and Amazon. Pretty creative business move if you ask me. It might not work, but its outside the box thinking of new ways to compete.

 
yeah that gamestop publishing move is really smart I think.  I loathe the idea of them locking down something I would actually care about, but I can appreciate the idea as good business.

 
in case anyone is bored, this is the route in dariusburst that you have to run without dying (silver trophy) or taking a single hit (gold).

edit - big yellow burst is a counter - you have to hit their beam with your own at just the right moment for it to turn on.  I don't know if it's the ship he's using that makes it last forever or just the enemy count but I've only gotten the timing right twice.

it should also be noted that this guy does basically a perfect run of the these three stages and ends with a score of 200m. There's also trophies for hitting 250m (silver) and 350m (gold). I don't even, but 9 people on psnp have it so there must be some route that's just chock full of combo opportunities. this game is great.

Same thing happened to my first vita charging cable. Just got another one on amazon.
Click to expand...
I bought some cheap case, screen protectors, and car charger kit when I got my Vita. Not even sure where the car charger is. But it came with the right USB cable for the OG Vita. My latest cellphone a quickcharger that puts out enough power to charge it using that cable I mentioned. I have a quickcharger for my phone both at work and home so I just use most of the time.

TLDR; some cell phone chargers can charge the OG Vita and a USB cable should be cheap on Amazon. Original iPad charger doesn't work though just tried that.

Going to top off my Vita now before going to lunch.

The perfect reviews are kind of unfortunate since a lot of people are now going to go in with some crazy expectations and walk away disappointed. It's a really well done puzzle game that presumably has a ton of content. Comparisons to The Talos Principle seem pretty spot on to me.

Yeah I've seen it online but never around here. I spotted Left Hand Milk Stout and Left Hand Porter (can't remember the name) at Publix as well, will probably try those soon.

Left Hand Milk Stout is probably my favorite beer right now, absolutely delicious. I've liked pretty much everything I've had from them. Sawtooth is pretty solid as well.

 
Zimm108 said:
Yeah if you've got an extra I could certainly use it.

The current state of my cord:

I don't think the cord is necessarily the problem (I mean I know it sometimes doesn't charge but it's does still charge most of the time), but I'd rather try that fix before a declare the battery dead.

Thanks Pete! This will do in place of the pitcher of beer you owe me.

Mine looks exactly the same on the USB side of the cable. It still works, but probably won't for too much longer.

 
we got a class action lawsuit if already 4 of us have had the same issue just talking about it this morning ;)  i just threw some electric tape on it when i noticed it a few weeks ago, but for $5.xx i went ahead and bought that double cord set off amazon. still sucks tho

Im pretty sure there would be less posts if people with OLED Vitas that did not have a frayed cord posted.  I got mine used and it was barely holding together when I got it.  Luckily there a clearance Vita essential pack at Best Buy for a few bucks that had another cord in it.  I tried to give the shitty one to Gamestop when I traded it in because I thought they would want the original.  Luckily I brought the good replacement one with me and grabbed it when they balked at the electrical tape held together one.  

 
Never had a problem with my OG vita cord. But I also bought one of those charge cradles, and charged it on there 90% of the time. Wish they had one for the slim.

The thing I can't wrap my head around is how this type of game is supposed to hold someone's attention for around 40 hours or so.

 
Never hard of Danger Girl but it looks fun. And apparently there's an Army of Darkness crossover?

Everyone doesn't have a 2800 square foot house so none of their shit has to touch any of their other shit.

Mine on occasion will pop up and say battery is low. However when I go to the main screen it shows half charge and Green. Original cord and knock off cord look brand new though.

All the damage mine took came from when I'd pack it up to travel. Didn't like being wrapped up.

All my Vitas and cords work and look great. Batteries too. I got my son's Vita from Amazon Warehouse Deals so guessing that's why the cable is frayed. I also used the cradle on the OG...but now I use the slim as my main.

there actually is, but it's jpn only and it's been insanely expensive since release (I've watched it on playasia since I liked the og cradle so much). now it's out of print so I assume ebay prices have skyrocketed.

http://www.play-asia.com/playstation-vita-slim-usb-cable-with-stand/13/707277

considering it was like $30 it comes packaged like it's the cheapest shittiest piece of junk

if you are interested in danger girl check out a lot of other top cow / wildstorm / image comics like witchblade, the darkness, gen13, dv8 and a few others. I used to be really into comics and go to conventions etc. but this was back in the marvel onslaught / dc kingdom come days in the late 90's or so. j scott campbell, jim lee, brandon choi, silvestri, etc.

That one looks like junk lol. Maybe one of these days I'll find an android tablet or phone one that would work for it.
