Once again I bring up Soul Sacrifice. In the beginning, I saw a copy of the game at a local shop. But I wouldn't explore further until much later, when I got a Vita I could download the demo on. I wasn't too crazy about the dark setting (particularly the bugs crawling around the main menu). But I couldn't stop playing soon after and of course, this is would get me to try other Monster Hunter clones.
Oh dude I remember the days where I would see that at GameStop for like 10 bucks for the longest time, I really miss those days of being able to buy cheap games for this platform.
I'm the opposite. Loved Toukiden, which was my first Monster Hunter like. I tried & hated Soul Sacrifice, and still hated it when I gave it a second chance with Delta. To me the controls suck and the combat isn't as satisfying as Toukiden or FreedomWars
soul sacrifice... good ol days, so many hours and im not sure i finished everything as it kept getting dlc lol. sadly, never tried toukiden and no time for that type of game now😔
Death Mark and NG are incredible games that I've had the pleasure of playing very recently. The backstories behind the Spirits in both games are harrowing...not for the easily upset. I was blown away by the ending to NG... I tried Danganronpa and didn't enjoy it...despite loving the Zero Escape series to death. I'm going to try it again someday. As for games I wasn't expecting to like...it's hard to say. Nuclear Throne is one I didn't think I'd enjoy at all, but it's pretty fun. I still suck at it though.
Man just hearing about Nuclear Throne, brings me back to the days when that was originally supposed to be one of limited run games releases for the PS Vita. 😭
soul sacrifice delta was a suprise for me. im not into edgy stuff but the lore there was defintly put much work into and it was suprisingly fun beating up walking terrors in a nightmerish landscape
I was going to say Soul Sacrifice. I thought about buying when it came out but passed on it. When it came to PS+ Plus I decided to give it a try. I ended up getting the platinum trophy for it and then bought Delta when it came out. Still my favorite game on the Vita.
Resistance: Burning Skies was one I didn't think I'd like. The mediocre to bad reviews kept me away from it. Then gamestop had it a used copy for $5 so I went and bought it. After playing it I thought it was pretty damn good. It's nowhere near as bad as a lot of the reviews made it out to be. Granted it's no Killzone but that doesn't mean it's bad. Also I will once again bring up Dungeon Hunter Alliance. I thought that game was stupid fun for what it was despite some of the bugs.
RBS was one of the best FPS games I ever played. Stuff like Doom, Wolfenstein, Duke Nukem, Call of Duty, Battlefield, and such just don't interest me. It's all about visceral gameplay, or puzzles, or setpieces, boring mikitary themes, etc. RBS' world felt grounded and fantastical in equal measure, and combat was simple but adequate, well balanced difficulty. Killzone and Turok take top spots, but I really hope Sony puts the Resistance series on PC so I can try the rest.
It just goes to show you that online review should really only be a template, because yes the same thing has happened to me in the past. I've enjoyed plenty of games out there that the critics absolutely hated, and vice versa. There's nothing like experiencing something for yourself. 🤗
Games I enjoyed much more than I thought I would: Danganronpa (series): I was aware of the general concept of Danganronpa and had heard it compared to the likes of Phoenix Wright, and so I picked up the first game on a whim, mainly due to it being a Vita exclusive at the time. To my surprise it completely blew me away, so much so that I quickly bought Danganronpa 2 and blasted through it in under a week, staying up late and not wanting to go to sleep. Cut to today and it's one of my favourite video game series of all time, enough so that it inspired me to write a fanfiction based on it that I'm still posting regular updates for. Dungeon Travelers 2: My first ever DRPG, I bought this game on the cheap because I found the ridiculous amount of ecchi content to be hilarious. What I got was a game that pretty much took over my life for the next month. I was expecting a competent RPG that I could sink my teeth into. What I was _not_ expecting was one of the most engrossing and deliciously brutal RPGs I've ever played. It kickstarted my love of DRPGs, after which I played Operation Abyss, Demon Gaze, Operation Babyl (Severely underrated IMO) and Stranger of Sword City. Dungeon Travelers 2 still remains my favourite though, with its impressive depth, tense exploration, immense challenge and strategic levelling system. Astro Aqua Kitty: I'd played the original Astro Kitty and found it to be a fine but unremarkable Defender clone. With Astro being made available as a physical edition through Limited Run I decided to pick it up, expecting much of the same. What I got was a surprisingly fun Metroidvania-esque SHMUP with charming visuals and RPG-lite mechanics that lent themselves to the overall experience. Definitely more than meets the eye. Games I wanted to like but didn't: STAY: This (admittedly) is a game that I couldn't bring myself to finish. It had all the hallmarks of a game I was sure I'd enjoy - a narratively driven mystery with visual novel elements and a handful of puzzles - yet I came away from it with little more than disappointment and annoyance. The pacing is glacial at best, with much of the dialogue feeling superfluous, not to mention the main character typing out his responses with incorrect spelling only to type away and correct them over and over again, adding to the runtime needlessly. The game purports to be able to tell what type of person you are through certain "tests" depending on your dialogue choices throughout the game, with many of them being so presumptive to the point of actually feeling insulting, using false logic that the player is apparently supposed to be aware of. For example, accusing the player of not liking a challenge and always taking the easy way out for choosing an easy puzzle, despite the implication that you'd be tackling the medium and hard puzzles afterwards, when instead the main character leaves them and never comes back despite the fact completing them could offer a potential escape from the house they're trapped in. Or assuming the player "wasn't paying attention" during the intro if they ask the main character their name, despite one of the main mechanics being tied to gaining an emotion rapport with the main character, in which case asking for their name out of politeness would be a presumed benefit! I know these things shouldn't have bugged me this much, but they did. Add in the main character managing to get themselves killed by being a completely useless klutz when prompted to take reasonable actions and I completely lost interest in discovering the truth about the mystery, which is perhaps the very bane of the genre itself. Lost Dimension: As someone who loved the first two Valkyria Chronicles games (Am still yet to play VC4. Maybe I'll get around to it at some point.) I was positively stoked when word of a similar game came about. Not to mention Lost Dimension's big hook: the existence of traitors in your team that you have to figure out and reveal in order to survive. Some welcome Danganronpa vibes there, and the game reviewed pretty well, prompting me to pick up a copy. Boy, what a mistake that was. I straight up hated the combat, finding it to be nowhere near as strategic or interesting as Valkyria Chronicles, and detested the "find the traitor" system, which had nothing to do with careful deliberation of evidence and instead boiled down to a weird minigame where you run towards voices? The game felt like an absolute failure, not delivering on anything that I wanted from it, which wasn't helped by the bland characters and ho-hum setting. I know the game has its fans, but... I just don't understand the appeal, I'm afraid.
Wow dude, that's a very detailed and in-depth list, you are giving me lots of excuses to give Danganronpa a second chance, I know the game is excellent, but I couldn't get the feel for it, also I'm yet to try Valkyrie Chronicles but is on my Vita just waiting, Dungeon Travelers 2... that's the one that I really could not like, I wanted to love it, found a de-censor patch and all but I always end up playing something else. Thanks Slick, your comment was a good read.
Very sorry to hear about Stay, I still have yet to try out that game and really want to considering it has a very interesting premise for gameplay. But after hearing what you said now I wonder if I'll enjoy it as much as I thought I would. 😭
@@PSVitaat2am I would say you should still play it and make up your own mind, especially if it's a game you've been wanting to get around to. A lot of people have reviewed this game positively, so perhaps I'm just an outlier.
Legends of War and Grim Fandango were my first Vita games I played. I just happened to have claimed them via ps+ monthly games at the time. I thoroughly enjoyed both.
@@josephchurchill6720 It's not a game to play if you're going to give it all your attention. Or you hate the art design too much to forgive all the other faults. And no, the story won't save it. It's exactly what you think it is, and I'd recommend the demo before deciding whether it's worth the time it asks.
I just recently finished that game about a month or so back, I got stuck at the last part because the star indicator kept telling me to visit the tea room yet nothing would happen. Turns out I didn't have the mirages. XD
Thanks to you I finally decided to play death mark. I've been seeing that game's artwork like everywhere but didn't know that actually that game so thanks.

Good video! Enjoy watching this channel and learning about different games for the PS VITA! That I never knew about . I like that History channel game, you mention , looks like it might be fun to play! Nice!
Hello James, this was a very difficult question to answer, but after lots of thought I have a mini list: GTA VC, I loved as a kid, looks great on the Vita with those beautiful fan made mods but... I just don't have the same patience to replay failed missions from the very beginning and I find aiming more difficult than it needs to be, of course I'm spoiled by modern gaming. Dungeon Travelers 2: Great graphics, waifus galore, deep RPG mechanics, perfect fit for a handheld (de-censored is a bonus) but I just got bored and play something else, I know, I'm the worst PS Vita community member I got 0 out of 10 and banned forever. Gun - Gun Pixies: Also great graphics and tight controls, but I just don't enjoy the story of the game as much (I know, that's a weak argument for a game like that, specially with the uncensored version of the game) I'll give GGP one more try sometime in the future but as usual I got many other games that I want to finish and my play time is getting more scarce (That's the beauty of the Vita, play anytime, anywhere and when time is an issue the Vita is the solution) Have a good one man.
I tell you this is one of my favorite topics to make, it's interesting to see what games people found so surprising. And how we all differ, thank you so much for sharing yours Raziel! 🤩🤩🤩
Acid trips were definitely my biggest surprise. Haha just kidding, I mostly use the vita to stay ahead of my console buddies. I’d say my biggest surprise was probably distraint. The dark art with vague yet effective storytelling is really fun.
@@PSVitaat2am I initially did it for the sake of the trophy hunt but the game turned out to be pretty good story wise. Especially if ur partaking in acid, the game can get pretty trippy! I highly suggest it and the sequel if ur a trophy hunter. :)
Believe it or not but the game that I thought I wouldn't like but actually did was Persona 4 Golden. Why? 1. I was never really a big fan of Rpg type games as a kid. I mostly played Fps games only like the Call of Duty series back then when I was young. 2. I had absolutely no idea what the Persona 4 is about or any of it's prior games. But still.... I decided to give it a try since it was the *BEST* game on the Vita and I was planning to explore different game genres besides from Fps. Downloaded it, played it, loved it, and the rest is history.
It had such an amazing storyline and gameplay to go along with it, it's easy to see why this was such a banger on the PS Vita and still remains one of its All-Star titles.
Since some people have already said Soul Sacrifice I will go with Sound Shapes. I had heard good things about it but thought ehhh. Gave it a go and couldn’t put it down. Ended up buying all the dlc also.
Oh I know how you feel about that game man, I remember picking it up because I heard it had really easy trophies to acquire and it was on sale plus cross by. Boy was I ever surprised of how good it's quality was!
I actually have Death Mark in my system right now. I'll probably get around to playing it eventually. Danganronpa 1/2 were my #1 and #2 games from the year it was released in the US. Danganronpa v3's platinum is the last one in the series I still need to get, so I'll play that minigame eventually.
Not so much as I thought I was not going to like it but if it was going to run horribly but my most surprising game on the vita has to borderlands 2 haha. I'm still blown away how the little vita can run borderlands 2, yes it has issues but it's still borderlands 2 and that's a win win haha. Shame no one plays online anymore though :-(
Yeah to be honest the frame rate as bad as it is isn't all that bad if you're playing it on an actual PS Vita, now if you're planning on a PSTV it is much more noticeable but still nothing that completely ruins the game in my opinion.
I haven't got a ps TV so I can't compare but I'll take your word for it haha. Just finished borderlands 2 too for my 130th platinum. Now I'm working on xcom and just chipping away further on crypt of the necrodancer (currently 53% through the trophy list ;-) lol)
Man, great list of hidden gems! I'll be on the lookout for em all. IDK, "horror" is first and foremost phantasmagorical, and being scary is just a bonus effect that may or may not happen. Only if something is called a "thriller" am I expecting scary. What's scary is I think the PlayStation store is gone...
Oh dude I absolutely love those old school FMV horror games, I know there were cheesy but they had also an incredible charm to them in my opinion. By the way why do you feel the store is gone?
@@PSVitaat2am FMV genre is so good, way underrated and with so much potential. Wales Interactive has some good ones but the genre could really be used better. Imagine a fighting game using actual animation, like a DBZ game or something (in fact, one of the Yu Yu Hakusho for SNES kinda dabbled in that concept in a way).
@@PSVitaat2am For about 2 weeks the store wasn't letting me on. I recently had an interaction with Sony, too, getting a refund when I couldn't download a cross-buy title. I FINALLY Googled the error code 'NW-something-3" that brought me to a troubleshoot for Itsl-Enso. Works fine now!!!! But I was super worried.
I never cared much for shmups, but Aqua Kitty and Soldner-X2: Final Prototype were both a nice surprise. And as far as the visual novel stuff goes, I was originally anti visual novel games but actually started to enjoy them like The House in Fata Morgana series of games, Nurse Love Addiction/Syndrome, and the Code Realize series of games. All great fun and different than what I was expecting.
Yeah I was the same way too, was never really into visual novels that much but the Vita really changed my mind on the genre. Sometimes they're just nice when you want a good quality story but not all of the stress.
Death Mark was the last US Retail (brick and mortar) release I purchased through Gamestop new. I purchased the regular version, they had the limited edition but I decided to pass. I am kicking myself now.
@@PSVitaat2am yeah I saw them sitting on the shelf. The attendant said they only got a couple in and wasn't expecting more. I wasn't really into visual novels so I just got the standard version on a whim.
When the Neptunia series came to PSVita, I thought they would be mediocre at best, but after playing and beating all of its spin-offs (except Neptunia PP for obvious reasons lol), I ended up liking them over time and am gonna beat the mainline games next whenever I have time for that. Same thing for Senran Kagura Bon Appetit!, which I thought wouldn't work as a concept, but I ended enjoying it not only for the songs, but for the stories and also its rhythm-based gameplay. Oh, and also for the very hentai-esque sequences where our beloved busty kunoichis are presented as erotic dishes every time they lose a cooking challenge. ;P
Yes I was very surprised by bon appetit myself, even to this day whenever I play this game the concept around it makes me laugh. But yes it does work. XD
I think the biggest surprise for me was Danganronpa ultra despair girls. I was like, I got it so I might as well play it. Turned out really awesome. Great video man 👌
@@velica5536 it gives away a lot of the story of one and two. But I never planned on playing those. They have important parts from 1&2 in it. But the game is really fun
@@velica5536 It is important, one specific character in it shows up in Danganronpa 3's Future Arc and that reveal is completely lost on you if you haven't played DRAE
Game surprised me were Monsterpiece, Volume, Puyo Puyo Tetris and Lost dimensión. I thought that they were not games of my style and that I would not like them
Man, I guess I would have to be a bit biased on this and go with Persona 3. Still to this day it has some of my favorite tunes of all video games out there, in my opinion. 😊
The "H" in history, legends of war reminds me a lot of the history channel. Did the history channel make that video game? It would so funny if they did lol. OH man I was always afraid of getting into Danganronpa. I thought I'd waste my money but I finally said screw it I'll risk my time and money. I beat 1 and 2 so far and enjoyed them both and enjoyed the mini games as well. Still have V3 sitting in my library waiting to be played. I have high expectations. It's the only VN I ever picked up and didn't drop in like 5 mins that wasn't an adult game 🤣
I'm not 100% sure about the History channels involvement with the game, but considering their logo is on it I'm assuming they were involved in some way shape or form. As for Danganronpa 3, it was the most divisive game of the trilogy if you don't count Ultra Despair Girls. Personally I liked it but a lot of fans didn't care much for its ending. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it when you get around to playing it Ken. 🙂
Berserker. I never watched the anime, because it sounded stupid... Then my buddy caught me stoned AF, put the show on, and I was captivated. The game is fun as heck, but not as fun if you have no idea what the storyline is
Might ruffle feathers, but how about a Most overrated PS Vita games video? My #1 would be Tearaway. It was okay for me. Maybe a 6/10 but garners high praise on top lists. Just don't see it.
I kind of sort of made a video topic on that a week or two back, about PS Vita games that I try to like but couldn't get into. Now as for an overrated one that is an interesting idea. 🤔
You have a lot of potential to get to make some other consoles videos/reviews i dont tuink you supuld stick to pa vita as the ideas keep running out sometimes:((
Well thank you so much I appreciate the compliment! I chose PS Vita to talk about because it's the system I am the most passionate about and have the most knowledge of. Maybe someday I'll make a second channel dedicated to another system, but these days starting a gaming channel is very hard on UA-cam.

As for games I wasn't expecting to like...it's hard to say.
Nuclear Throne is one I didn't think I'd enjoy at all, but it's pretty fun. I still suck at it though.
Death Mark's ending really felt like a betrayal. I loved it. Can't wait for the 3rd game.
@@Vulpas It really did. A bit gutted I saw it coming after the Black Rabbit incident. The bonus chapter was also really good!
Man just hearing about Nuclear Throne, brings me back to the days when that was originally supposed to be one of limited run games releases for the PS Vita. 😭
soul sacrifice delta was a suprise for me. im not into edgy stuff but the lore there was defintly put much work into and it was suprisingly fun beating up walking terrors in a nightmerish landscape

Hey no problem, enjoy! 🤗
For some reason I don't see you as a "acid trip" type of person, maybe more a shoe lace trip person
Hahaha! I tell you Aaron, you know me all too well! 🤣
Wait, surely I'm not the only one who thinks of RTS over TPS/FPS when it comes to war games? I miss the RTS genre.
I guess FPS games are so prevalent these days that whenever I think of a shooting game those are always the genres that come to mind. 🤔
This thumbnail is golden
Yes, and haaaawt!
Acid trips were definitely my biggest surprise.
Haha just kidding, I mostly use the vita to stay ahead of my console buddies. I’d say my biggest surprise was probably distraint. The dark art with vague yet effective storytelling is really fun.
Oh yeah I remember that game! I covered it in the past on this channel but have still yet to try it out for myself.
@@PSVitaat2am I initially did it for the sake of the trophy hunt but the game turned out to be pretty good story wise.
Especially if ur partaking in acid, the game can get pretty trippy! I highly suggest it and the sequel if ur a trophy hunter. :)
Believe it or not but the game that I thought I wouldn't like but actually did was Persona 4 Golden. Why?
1. I was never really a big fan of Rpg type games as a kid. I mostly played Fps games only like the Call of Duty series back then when I was young.
2. I had absolutely no idea what the Persona 4 is about or any of it's prior games.
But still.... I decided to give it a try since it was the *BEST* game on the Vita and I was planning to explore different game genres besides from Fps. Downloaded it, played it, loved it, and the rest is history.
It had such an amazing storyline and gameplay to go along with it, it's easy to see why this was such a banger on the PS Vita and still remains one of its All-Star titles.
Since some people have already said Soul Sacrifice I will go with Sound Shapes. I had heard good things about it but thought ehhh. Gave it a go and couldn’t put it down. Ended up buying all the dlc also.
Oh I know how you feel about that game man, I remember picking it up because I heard it had really easy trophies to acquire and it was on sale plus cross by. Boy was I ever surprised of how good it's quality was!
I actually have Death Mark in my system right now. I'll probably get around to playing it eventually. Danganronpa 1/2 were my #1 and #2 games from the year it was released in the US. Danganronpa v3's platinum is the last one in the series I still need to get, so I'll play that minigame eventually.
You're definitely in for a treat, I was surprised at how good of a quality those extra games were. 😱
1:42 as Im eating a pb&j 🤣🤣🤣
Really? This can be no coincidence! 🤯
omg,yes death mark is great horror and the second game to it too is great too called spirit hunter ng both for ps 4 and ps vita.
Yeah I still need to get around to playing NG. 😭
Danganronpa V3 is incredible, i cant wait for a potential sequel
Unfortunately for the PS Vita, I could only get the Japanese version at a reasonable price. I managed to acquire pt 1,2 & despair girls though 🎮
I tell you Danganronpa V3's ending really threw me for a loop. I know it caused controversy among the fan base but personally I loved it.
Not so much as I thought I was not going to like it but if it was going to run horribly but my most surprising game on the vita has to borderlands 2 haha. I'm still blown away how the little vita can run borderlands 2, yes it has issues but it's still borderlands 2 and that's a win win haha. Shame no one plays online anymore though :-(
Yeah to be honest the frame rate as bad as it is isn't all that bad if you're playing it on an actual PS Vita, now if you're planning on a PSTV it is much more noticeable but still nothing that completely ruins the game in my opinion.
I haven't got a ps TV so I can't compare but I'll take your word for it haha. Just finished borderlands 2 too for my 130th platinum. Now I'm working on xcom and just chipping away further on crypt of the necrodancer (currently 53% through the trophy list ;-) lol)
Man, great list of hidden gems! I'll be on the lookout for em all.
IDK, "horror" is first and foremost phantasmagorical, and being scary is just a bonus effect that may or may not happen. Only if something is called a "thriller" am I expecting scary.
What's scary is I think the PlayStation store is gone...
Oh dude I absolutely love those old school FMV horror games, I know there were cheesy but they had also an incredible charm to them in my opinion. By the way why do you feel the store is gone?
@@PSVitaat2am FMV genre is so good, way underrated and with so much potential. Wales Interactive has some good ones but the genre could really be used better.
Imagine a fighting game using actual animation, like a DBZ game or something (in fact, one of the Yu Yu Hakusho for SNES kinda dabbled in that concept in a way).
@@PSVitaat2am For about 2 weeks the store wasn't letting me on. I recently had an interaction with Sony, too, getting a refund when I couldn't download a cross-buy title. I FINALLY Googled the error code 'NW-something-3" that brought me to a troubleshoot for Itsl-Enso. Works fine now!!!! But I was super worried.
never played death mark, but it sure does look interesting
it acually is great and has a limited edtion for ps4 version and come with a art book and sound track too.
One thing I forgot to mention is that it even has jump scares, not something you see often in a visual novel. 😱
I wish if Sony make a new handheld console better then the vita and it has backward compatible with ps1,ps2,psp,ps3,psvita and ps4
Got to admit I love this idea! 😍
Speaking as a half Japanese person, japaneezy is not racist.
Yes! I knew you would have my back Geo! 💪💪💪
I never cared much for shmups, but Aqua Kitty and Soldner-X2: Final Prototype were both a nice surprise. And as far as the visual novel stuff goes, I was originally anti visual novel games but actually started to enjoy them like The House in Fata Morgana series of games, Nurse Love Addiction/Syndrome, and the Code Realize series of games. All great fun and different than what I was expecting.
Yeah I was the same way too, was never really into visual novels that much but the Vita really changed my mind on the genre. Sometimes they're just nice when you want a good quality story but not all of the stress.
@@PSVitaat2am so true, I usually play fighting games to release some stress but I find that the visual novel type games help too.
Death Mark was the last US Retail (brick and mortar) release I purchased through Gamestop new. I purchased the regular version, they had the limited edition but I decided to pass. I am kicking myself now.
Did GameStop have those limited editions? It's been so long I can't remember, I too just went with the standard.
@@PSVitaat2am yeah I saw them sitting on the shelf. The attendant said they only got a couple in and wasn't expecting more. I wasn't really into visual novels so I just got the standard version on a whim.
When the Neptunia series came to PSVita, I thought they would be mediocre at best, but after playing and beating all of its spin-offs (except Neptunia PP for obvious reasons lol), I ended up liking them over time and am gonna beat the mainline games next whenever I have time for that.
Same thing for Senran Kagura Bon Appetit!, which I thought wouldn't work as a concept, but I ended enjoying it not only for the songs, but for the stories and also its rhythm-based gameplay. Oh, and also for the very hentai-esque sequences where our beloved busty kunoichis are presented as erotic dishes every time they lose a cooking challenge. ;P
Yes I was very surprised by bon appetit myself, even to this day whenever I play this game the concept around it makes me laugh. But yes it does work. XD
@@PSVitaat2am especially the ''busty kunoichis are presented as erotic dishes every time they lose a cooking challenge'' part lol
I think the biggest surprise for me was Danganronpa ultra despair girls. I was like, I got it so I might as well play it. Turned out really awesome. Great video man 👌
is game plot wise needed? like im i missing on story if i dont play it?
@@velica5536 it gives away a lot of the story of one and two. But I never planned on playing those. They have important parts from 1&2 in it. But the game is really fun
@@velica5536 It is important, one specific character in it shows up in Danganronpa 3's Future Arc and that reveal is completely lost on you if you haven't played DRAE
I would definitely recommend playing it if you want to get the gist of the whole story, because it does take place between Danganronpa 1 and 2.
I really enjoyed this kind of video. Thanks brother take care
Hey no problem Choco, thank you so much for watching! 😊
@@PSVitaat2am my pleasure ;) Salute
I got Danganronpa V3 on PS4 but I never finished it at the time
I would get around to doing that, trust me that ending will really throw you for a loop! Though be warned it was kind of divisive among the fan base.
Game surprised me were Monsterpiece, Volume, Puyo Puyo Tetris and Lost dimensión. I thought that they were not games of my style and that I would not like them
Awesome, thank you so much for sharing your picks on this! Interesting to see how we all differ when it comes to games that surprised us.
Hmmm...I can't think of any. Vita is perfect 😁😁😁
💪💪💪💪💪
I didn't think I would like god of war but was surprised by it. question: what psvita game do think has the best sound track?
Man, I guess I would have to be a bit biased on this and go with Persona 3. Still to this day it has some of my favorite tunes of all video games out there, in my opinion. 😊
The "H" in history, legends of war reminds me a lot of the history channel. Did the history channel make that video game? It would so funny if they did lol.
OH man I was always afraid of getting into Danganronpa. I thought I'd waste my money but I finally said screw it I'll risk my time and money. I beat 1 and 2 so far and enjoyed them both and enjoyed the mini games as well. Still have V3 sitting in my library waiting to be played. I have high expectations. It's the only VN I ever picked up and didn't drop in like 5 mins that wasn't an adult game 🤣
I'm not 100% sure about the History channels involvement with the game, but considering their logo is on it I'm assuming they were involved in some way shape or form. As for Danganronpa 3, it was the most divisive game of the trilogy if you don't count Ultra Despair Girls. Personally I liked it but a lot of fans didn't care much for its ending. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it when you get around to playing it Ken. 🙂
@@PSVitaat2am I'll be sure to let you know!
So james you made me buy more games (digital releases since physical are too much at the moment)
Sorry about that, but hey at least you'll be having an epic time growing your backlog more and more. 😁
I got to really play dangrpa.. I got to where the first player dies
How are you enjoying it so far?
What game I didn't like but surprise me I think was Ray gigant
Oh and by sheer coincidence I featured that in the previous video. 😱
a sidescroller i ended up loving was Shantae: 1/2 Genie Hero. the bosses are kinda like cuphead but with bewbs
Which is truly the best part of it am I right? XD
Great video
Thanks buddy! 🤗
Berserker. I never watched the anime, because it sounded stupid... Then my buddy caught me stoned AF, put the show on, and I was captivated. The game is fun as heck, but not as fun if you have no idea what the storyline is
Hahaha! Well it sounds like that was quite the experience for you there Hunter. And I do agree the game is awesome!
Well that's an interesting game selection
Any games that interested you?
Thank you about not spoiling so much
No problem! Trust me the story is well worth experiencing for yourself. 😁
Hey Big J.! Great video! Thank you so much.
Racism in Japan? nah....
Hahaha! I knew you would have my back Marco. 💪💪💪
@@PSVitaat2am of course Big J.!!!
The psvita 3G is a good psvita really guys
💪💪💪
Might ruffle feathers, but how about a Most overrated PS Vita games video? My #1 would be Tearaway. It was okay for me. Maybe a 6/10 but garners high praise on top lists. Just don't see it.
I kind of sort of made a video topic on that a week or two back, about PS Vita games that I try to like but couldn't get into. Now as for an overrated one that is an interesting idea. 🤔
10:05 hahahahahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You have a lot of potential to get to make some other consoles videos/reviews i dont tuink you supuld stick to pa vita as the ideas keep running out sometimes:((
Well thank you so much I appreciate the compliment! I chose PS Vita to talk about because it's the system I am the most passionate about and have the most knowledge of. Maybe someday I'll make a second channel dedicated to another system, but these days starting a gaming channel is very hard on UA-cam.
To me those were
Final fantasy 7crisis core
Final fantasy X hd
The binding of Isaac
Heroes of might and magic 3
Sonic & all starts racing transformed
Virtua tennis 4
Persona 3 portable
🙂
there is heroes of might and magic 3 on the vita? i only knew about homm2
@@velica5536 I was talking in general. There is no the binding of Isaac game only Rebirth
@@GSPsvita ah. and i hoped there is homm3 on the vita..i could only dream
@@velica5536 me too 🙂 great game 🙂
Just goes to show you that you can find those diamonds in the rough when you least expect them.
Tangy
Mmmmmmm 😍
alot of people hate danganropa v3 also i hate the ultra despair danganropa series
I can kind of understand why, that ending really threw me for a loop!
@@PSVitaat2am i never finished the game 😳
