And no demo. Is this game a retail game aswell? I'll pick it up only if i can return it if I don't like it.

WHAT?! You haven't bought the Gravity Rush DLCs yet? SHAME ON YOU!

I've been contemplating on the PSN+ thing and I think its not worth it for me. The instant game collection sounds really cool and all, but after spending on games, I want to keep them, permanently.  Sooooo....I think I'll just get PSN+ on a by 3 month basis only when there are 3-4 games that I want and are on sale by at least 30% so as to get the maximum savings possible.

So is it just me or is Virtue's last reward a terrible terrible game? The direction is aweful, the intro starts you off without any story concepts but then it adds them later, when it should have started off with that at the beginning. To make matters worse the characters act in a way completely inconsolable to the situation they are in. While you are confused, the characters seem to know what is going on, or at least not care about not knowing. They care more about terrible forced character introductions than introducing you to the game which at that point might as well be in a unlit room as setting is uterly void. For having an interesting story concept it is utterly lost on this title from shoddy delivery.

The voice acting might not be as bad isolated from the way the characters act. For rendering 3D characters you'd expect the developers to take advantage of full body and face movements but instead resort to the static 2D poses found in games from pervious generations that didn't have that luxury. It was charming done in 2D, but in 3D they added weight shifting so the characters are alive and moving yet fade out into different poses instead of actually making the pose. That and the poses are very unnatural and limited, so the characters often look the same whenever they speak using poses that do not match what they are saying. The voice acting doesn't go as far as to give the main character a voice for unknown reasons except maybe to destroy all sense of cinematography as you listen to characters speak just to be forced into reading what your character has said and jump back to voiced script and back and back again. Conversation was only effective during the times when all of it was voiced or none of it was voiced.

The gameplay is clunky, plagued by poor touch screen controls that seem to serve as the most difficult part of solving puzzles. You will find yourself watching repeat animations and entering commands you did not intend to while looking around or closing out dialog boxes.

Explain to me why a game like this was made with these astetics in mind. They seem to have successfully taken a good game concept and ignored the process of creating a game. This is something that should have been a book or a movie because everything game like is done poorly. Is this why people say Japanese games are dying? Maybe I just don't have the taste for this genre of games, but then who does?

I took my time to get the Plat on Gravity Rush.. so I'll take my time to buy and complete the DLC... I will enjoy them slowly until Gravity Rush 2 is confirmed XD

And I say You, PS+ is a great investment... only on exclusive disccounts at year you get more than the 50$ you spend... and If you have a PS3 the deal is just  too good to pass on it...

@RUNA That is a headline!.. and I just finished 2050 season on WipEout.. but I'm not over with all the events on it.. I'm having a hard time with some course.. like Rockway Stadium where You need to absolutly take the shorcuts to win on those events.. but the shorcuts mean to make 90 grades turns and some U turns! JUST INSANE... and then there's the Pir-hana event you have to surpass a Speed-Pir-hana with the same CRAPPY Speed-Pir-hana.. seriously Pir-hanas are CRAPP!

 I loved 999 and this seems to have the same atomosphere. Plus the betray, ally mechanic sounds interesting.

 The demo was short, only a small novel introduction section to what is happening and one puzzle (4 rooms(1 locked), 4 lockers, 4 phones, passwords and keys and papers etc...). Since the enviroments are 3d you can look around the entire  room using the analog stick or touch screen. There is a memo section you can use to scribble notes using touch screen, which is nice (saves the trouble of writing on paper). This is definitly a day one buy for me.

no, no NO NO NO! You're suppose to buy Gravity Rush day one and the DLCs day one too!!!! ARRRRRR!!!

If I had a PS3, PS+ would be a very very good deal, but sadly, all I has is a Vita, so..... If they offer an insaenly awesome instant game collection, then maybe I'll bite, I'll reserve judgement once we see what's instore for the Vita
