The touchscreen (Which I've never been a fan of before) is pretty good. And I love the menu system.
......yeah that's all I can say about it so far, as the only game I got with it is LEGO Batman, which is kinda "Meh".
...I also got a Call of Duty game because Mom couldn't find any of the games I wanted. But noooo thanks. I don't play Call of Duty anymore, so I asked her to return it.
.,..The Youtube app on it, surprisingly, is way fucking better than the website itself.

it was inevitable the moment they started adding content
*shakes fist*
Thankfully, there are other games on Vita that I'm interested in, but really it's been inevitable for a long time now!

I'm seriously considering dropping using the youtube website on my PC and just using the Vita YouTube app because that thing is smooth as silk.

I've heard of it, but I don't know what it's like. There's 4 of them
2: Dark Hero Dayts
Infinite
Afternoon of Darkness
3: Absense of Detention
Any particularly suggested version?
Also, I'm a bit confused. I've been recommended Persona 4 (By scorp), but on the store, there are 2 "types" on the store...
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2: Innocent Sin
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
And then there are
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
Persona 4: Golden
Are the latter 2 Shin Megami Tensei games or are the 2 series' different? I'm confused.
What about the Ys series?
Threads of Fate?
Valhalla Knights?

Persona 2 Innocent Sin originally never got a US release before the remake for PSP and I can DEFINITELY recommend picking it up because it's a really great game.
Persona 2 Eternal Punishment is the Persona 2 that we got in the US originally. Which is funny because it is basically Persona 2.5 since it has a MAJOR story tie-in with IS that you don't fully understand without having played IS. It's still possible, but you miss out on nuances.
Persona 3 is the third game in the series number wise and four overall.
Persona 4 Golden is the more complete version of PS4 that the Vita got.

Eitherway, Monster Hunter game. I've been wanting to play this series for a LONG TIME but haven't been able too since it's been limited to Sony handhelds and the Nintendo Wii.

...Seriously. Buy this game. Anyone with a Vita should f***ing play it. It's so delightfully charming.
Also MH is on 3DS now, so it's not as limited anymore <_<

But, #1 RPG priority should be The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, tbqh.
Unless you want to wait a bit longer because it's getting re-released on Steam soon.

I suck at explaining this, but I liked it. The primary draw for me though is the strength of the characters and the story. Among the best I've encountered. It starts off a bit slow, but becomes amazing, and I'm more hyped for the sequel (comes out in Summer or maybe Fall) than I have been for any game ever.
As for some of the others:
Ys is an action RPG. In Oath you're solo and you just beat the **** out of everything. No separate battle screens you just wreck everything you encounter. Seven gives you a party, but is still an action RPG.
Disgaea is a strategy RPG but again describing it is a bit hard. On the surface it might look like, say, FFT, but it isn't. There's a ton of little quirks and the main draw for a lot of people is how crazy the post-game is. Level cap is like 9999 and you need it for some post-game stuff, even though the main plot can be cleared at like 80-100. The story/characters are also basically a parody of the genre, particularly in 1. 2 plays things a bit more straight. I haven't played the others. D2: Dark Hero Days is almost certainly the best version of D2 though.

Disgaea 1 is pretty legit though. On the SRPG axis it's way, way, waaay further along the RPG side than the strategy side, but it's still fun. I think Afternoon of Darkness is first game with extra stuff, so that's the version you probably want if you want it at all.

Yes. Persona started as like a spinoff of sorts due to it's change in how the game is played from the others, but now it's just an overarching thing and sometimes SMT isn't referred to in the title anymore. But it still is.

I was considering getting MGS HD Collection, but tbh fuck that. It only has MGS2 and 3. Why the hell wouldn't it include the first game as well?

- I love the touchscreen. It's way better than the DS's.
- The system is actually sort of uncomfortable to hold. I ordered a grip to hopefully solve that issue, but it won't be here for at least 2 weeks (Fucking postal service)
- The placement for the speakers is annoying.
- The ability to digital download almost any PSP game is great, likewise so is the ability to download any Vita game.

To be fair to this point, the [3]DS' touchscreen (and Wii U's by extension) is resistive, meaning it requires the use of a stylus (or at least the thumb pad that shipped with DS units in 2004), where as the Vita's is capacitive like cell phones, and responds to inputs from the small bit of electricity given off from our bodies (hence they only work with using fingers, or specialized stylus designed for capacitive touch screens).
I suppose it all come preference. It is significantly more convenient to use a capacitive touch screen, though resistive touch screens allow for more accurate input. Of course it's up to the developers how well touch controls are implemented anyhow.
Just my two cents.
