this type of game should of be on the ps3 instead

LeShin6143d ago

Sales is the language publishers understand. I just completed the DLC last night.....EPIC!

Double Toasted6142d ago

and people wonder why sales matter...

JL6142d ago

I would've loved for this to be on PS3. Now, I'm not a portable gamer really, but the first game was amazing, so I'll be borrowing my roommate's PSP just to play this game. Hopefully we can get a sequel on the PS3 one day.

@Leshin
Which DLC did you play? I still want to go back and get the Selvaria one (just been busy with others game right now, but plan to get that one at some point at least). How was hers? I've heard that's really the only one worth the buy.

@Double Toasted
I don't think anybody ever really says sales don't matter. We all know they matter to some degree. I think the argument is always that there's a threshold to where they stop mattering to us as gamers. The claim is usually brought up when people criticize a game because it didn't sell like 5+million copies. I'd say once it passes like the million mark or so it is irrelevant to us gamers. That being said, have Sega even came out and said that's the reason the sequel is going to PSP? I mean I'm not necessarily doubting it, but it's all speculation at this point (unless I missed something). Seeing as how VC has sold as well as most other JRPGs this generation, I wouldn't exactly call it a bust. Though it definitely deserved to do more than the half a million it sold so far.

@1.3 - Exactly, bubbles+ for making sense.

LeShin6142d ago (Edited 6142d ago )

Well, I think there are three pieces of DLC . 1 is the hard mode and the other 2 are Selvaria's and Edy's missions. Those are the 2 pieces of DLC I completed yesterday and they were amazing. Edy's mission can be pretty funny and can be quite tricky and Selavaria's mission is brilliant as well as being quite difficult and you learn a LOT more about her character as well as finding out that separating the two warring factions into good and evil is a lot more difficult than you'd first think. Also, if you complete the mission, you get a pretty cool bonus if you haven't completed the main story yet or are thinking of going through it again :)

Cwalat6142d ago

LeShin @

Although i agree with you, it's not like VC is mainstream.

JL6142d ago

Sounds cool. Thanks for the info Leshin. I'll definitely have to get around to getting the Selvaria DLC at some point. Might consider picking up the Edy one too.

I havent played the 1st on PS3 but I'm starting to watch the Anime . SO I guess I can pick this up for my PSP if the story follows the 1st one.

Natsu X FairyTail6142d ago

I might buy it even if I dont have a PS3 at the momment. I buy games on other consoles and play them when my friends lend me theirs. I used to have a ps3 but sold it . Im planning on getting another one though.

Aggesan6142d ago

I totally agree. VC 1 was great, but my girfriend was complaining that I was occupying the telly too much, but now I should be able to play undisturbed on my PSP :-)

The Best Games You Can't Officially Buy Anymore

From Xfire: "It's been estimated that roughly half of the video games ever released on the market can no longer be downloaded or purchased. Whether this is exactly correct is not the point. Rather, we think that either way, the video game industry, as a whole, has done a terrible job at preserving video games and making older titles available to play for future generations."

Terry_B1839d ago

You can play all of these games still lol. The headline is just misleading. Funny is that there is not one game in the list that you really can't play anymore due to it being online only games.

CorndogBurglar1839d ago (Edited 1839d ago )

Its not about games you can't play. Its about games you can't officially buy anywhere.

Terry_B1839d ago

The author changed it actually

Army_of_Darkness1838d ago

Who needs to buy these games anyway? Most of them are average at best and won't really be missed.

littletad1839d ago (Edited 1839d ago )

It says buy, not play though. You can't purchase Deadpool or the Simpsons game anymore. Unless you have a 360 for the simpsons or a physical copy of deadpool, or purchased it before it was delisted.

shuvam091838d ago

Look at his comment. It's from 9 hours ago. Article goes back 4 hours. Title might have been changed after realising the mistake

isarai1839d ago

One you actually legit cannot play AT ALL is Noby Noby Boy. I miss turning my brain off and messing around in that game, was so psyched to re-download it when i rebought a ps3 slim, but you cant, even if it's in your downl library, along with a few other obscure PS3 games i had.

NecrumOddBoy1839d ago

The original memes to the moon game. Loved NNB on PS3.

FreeckyCake1839d ago

I would replace Transformers Devastation with War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron tho.

Knightofelemia1839d ago (Edited 1839d ago )

Transformers Devastation was good but not as good as Fall and War of Cybertron they should be on the list. SH 2 I can play any time I want since it came free in a $10 Xbox I bought used. The Simpsons Arcade I have on my PS3 surprised the Xmen Arcade game is not on this list or the Turtles arcade game either.

CorndogBurglar1839d ago

I had the X-Men arcade game on my 360. I don't know if Xbox Live is still a thing or not, and of it is, I don't know of they still sell X-Men. But it was deinitely on Xbox Live at some point.

Knightofelemia1839d ago (Edited 1839d ago )

If you had X-Men before you can redownload it from your transaction history on the 360 Microsoft did not castrate the 360 from online. That is how I was able to redownload the old TMNT arcade game to my 360 you can't play it on XB1 or Series X but you can still access it for sure on the 360.

7 JRPGs With a School Setting If You're Feeling Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Twinfinite Writes: With Fire Emblem Three Houses the series takes its first leap into a school life game, but there are other great JRPGs out there with a school setting.

Currently playing through Trails in the Sky SC, after spending 60 hours finishing the first. I want to jump into Trails of Cold Steel, but was told by several people that it's better to play the previous games first.

Positivelypositive 2496d ago

Trails of cold steel is great to jump right into. You won't feel like you missed anything. I am sure there is more to get out of the 3rd and 4th TOTS games but I don't see any reason to wait to play Steel.

DarkZane2496d ago

There are some mentions of events in Trails in the Sky in the first 2 trails of cold steel, but not much. You should definitely play Trails in the Sky completely before Trails of Cold Steel 3 and 4 (which are yet to be released), because there are characters from that series in those games.

You might also want to play Trails of Zero and Azure, which are the 2 unlocalized games. There are translation patches for them out there that are 100% done.

bluefox7552496d ago (Edited 2496d ago )

Interesting, thanks for the tip. I heard TITS 2 was the best one in that series, so I think I'll still finish it. Depending on the ending though, I may jump into TOCS after, mainly because the gameplay looks way better, and obviously the visuals as well. The TITS combat is a little shallow IMO.

Outlawzz2496d ago

Cold steel 1 was my first trails game. There were certain parts where I could tell they were referencing previous games but other than that it was a complete and separate story. It was great and I never felt like I missed out on anything just small mentions of other events.

Teflon022496d ago

doesn't matter which you play first as the games directly involving the story of Sky aren't even all released here to even worry about order. You'll miss alot of references no matter which way you look at it. Just play which ever ones you want in any order as long as 1s before 2. They're self contained stories by name for the most part.

AnnaDea2496d ago

Finished Cold Steel II today.

I have some time now to finish the Crossbell games before Cold Steel III arrives in late October. I can't sing enough praise for the Legend of Heroes series. I have only beaten Sky FC a little earlier and gonna play SC soon too. I feel sorry for the fans of jrpgs that misses this hidden gem of a series.

I have been a great fan of Nihon Falcom since the elary 90's. One of the strongest japanese developers out there. But and support their games Kreygasm.

How Does Fire Emblem: Three Houses Stack Up Against Other Games With School Settings?

So how does Fire Emblem: Three Houses compare? Well, it doesn't offer the agency of Bully, but it does feel more expansive than Persona, even if the choices you have to make aren't quite as interesting. Its strength is in how well-realized and expansion it all feels, its calendar peppered with a multitude of fun events like feasts and dance festivals. Where Valkyria Chronicles 2's academy feels like a series of rote menus, Three Houses' setting feels fully integrated into the gameplay and story.
