Dragon's Crown

I still have Last of Us and Beyond in that pipeline, but I think that's it. I wish they'd do another $10 off $40 before Puppeteer.

This is coming out soon and a lot of people seem to like it link to US Gamer review because i like those guys because jeremy parish works for them

I've been playing this a lot since Monday, and will probably have a review up over the weekend on Game Over. If you're wondering which version to buy, I'd go with the Vita version. The touchscreen feels a lot more natural for some things (like having an NPC get treasure) and make use of wacky giant magic spells. Using the right stick on the PS3 works, and GOOD GOD ALMIGHT IS THIS GAME GORGEOUS ON AN HDTV, but I can see the price dropping on the PS3 version fairly quickly, and it's $10 less on the Vita.

James gave his thoughts on it at HG the other day -

I'm definitely enjoying the hell out of it, no question. I remembered the next day after writing the article that I'd meant to mention I particularly like the way the side-quests give hints on finding all the secrets hidden in the levels. Oh well, something for people to discover on their own.

The review copy was a download code. Download is nice, but I'm still going to end up buying the disk. This one's a keeper.

Damn I wish this were a $60 cross buy instead of $50 and $40. What's sad is that if there were only one version, I'd pay those prices, but since both exist I feel like there should be a better way to get them both.

Buy vita version now. Pick up ps3 version when it hits $20. It isnt like anyone will want to play them concurrently.
Or buy ps3 version now and wait for vita version to hit plus. Based on disgaea 3 and virtues last reward, it is a safe bet.

Yeah, I was leaning toward Vita now and PS3 at $20, because I need to show Vita support a lot more than PS3.

My problem with Vanillaware games is that they look incredible but play like shit. Does the combat feel like D&D or like Odin Sphere?

That's what I've been waiting on hearing about too, and it seems I can never trust reviewers on that. Realizing how soon this came out is why I put off my Muramasa purchase.

I didn't have any problems with controlling Muramasa with a classic controller on the Wii. Odin Sphere, yes, handled like a truck full of hairy dicks.

I'm on the fence about this. On the one hand, reviews are saying there's shameless padding and the single player gets pretty dull. On the other hand, everyone says multiplayer is amazing. Prefer local though, and I only have 2 PS3 controllers.

And also, if I buy this game, I'll be supporting the male rape culture aristocracy! [/sarcasm]
