Forums - Gaming Discussion - 2014 is Vita year for gamers ! ( not for shareholders though)

Kinda let yourself in for it with this title, huh?

But yeah. If you're a fan of eastern games, 2014 is looking excellent for Vita. JRPG's; Visual novels; roguelikes; dungeon crawlers, all sorts to keep you enjoying your console. Lots of stuff on the release horizon which is really interesting for me...

... but I'm not really your typical gamer. Half of the release schedule for next year is downloadable titles, which "aren't really games" according to popular opinion on VGChartz. And the other half is niche as hell Japanese stuff, which by definition isn't going to appeal to a large crowd.

Oh well, it's a good enough lineup for me. And if this is Vita's last hurrah like everyone keeps saying it is, then I'm pretty pleased its going out like this!

Oh, yeah.  I probably should've been a bit more thorough with my post.  I was referring to Danganronpa, which is half visual novel half adventure.

I see thanks :), i do agree on the fact that the vita has plenty of niche Japanese stuff, and i'm sure there'll be more

I love arguments here. This is "gaming discussion" topic, yet all people, who have no interest in buying a vita, talk about is potential and current sales. Brilliant.

If it wasn't clear from the Original Post, the Original Poster made it clear in his follow up posts: this is a thread about games and not their or the vita's selling potential.

So, on topic: I'm quite excited for Soul Sacrifice Delta and hope Murasaki turns out great. I'm also not Japanese. Crazy, huh?

The thread title "2014 is Vita year!" says different. 

It only depends on how you read it. Sales are not everything. Now clarified.

 

 

Kresnik : Dont forget Vita is region free, so considering all these games are retail titles outside europe, it's a good thing if you're able to import games  :)

I  buy retail versions if they exist, i never support europe digital release only ( sad since  Vita sells better in europe...)



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

I was finally looking to pick up a second hand ps vita (don't want the new slim, so the old version is gonna get even cheaper second hand anytime now)

However, just like Dirtyp2002 said, i have not heard of ANY of these games, therefore my enthusiasm to pick this device up is once again dwindling.

At this stage, Uncharted: Golden Abyss aside, i would pretty much be buying it to play a tonne of games that i have already played on my 360 (stuff like Sonic All Stars, Mortal Kombat, Ultimate Marvel v Capcom 3, Virtua Tennis 4)

Guess i'll hold out a little longer and see if i can pick one up sub £100.

I wasn't speaking about sales.  2014 is the Vita year for gamers could be taken in two ways.  It's either saying the Vita's quality of games this year surpasses all others years quality or the Vita's quality of  games surpass the quality of all other systems on the market.  Both are not even close.

No it doesn't actually. If can be interpreted differently. If someone is  ps3/ps4/pc/psvita owner and is more into japanese games, he'll probably consider 2014 as the vita year for him as a gamer. That's the device he'll use to game on the most. For me and many others, 2013 was easily Vita year as a gamer. 

Also, about your remark about facts and opinions, you once again fail to understand the diffrence between the two.

If you say, "Going by gameplay videos a few look like they could be decent, the rest don't look very good at all", you suggest that the general consensus is that they're bad. Or that they are all so bad, that there's no way anyone would find them any good.

Now, if you say "I've watched a few videos and none of them seemed any good/appealing to me. I don't get how you think 2014 is the vita year", then that would have been fine. You obviously don't have to say "in my opinion" every time. It's implied in the way you phrase your sentnece. But you tend to have these absolute staetments and also seem to always be unable to take any criticism. No matter how many profanities you use or how upset and sure you appear to be, your argument doesn't get any stronger.

Oh, right.  I don't understand that I gave my opinion about several games I thought looked like crap.  Yeah.  You're exactly right.  I'd be delighted if you'd stfu.  Thank you ^_^.

Naruball said everything, last year " Vita year" was not even an acceptable opinion, this year, it only depends on your tastes  about japanese games.

Personally, i have good tastes and the games i want are at least good from what i've seen and read ( or played for both of them)

 

 Dangan Ronpa, Toukiden , Freedom Wars, Oreshika 2, Ys Celceta, Murasaki Baby, Soul Sacrifice Delta will be mine for sure.
