I really want to get into the Persona franchise so I've been trying to steer my dad into letting me borrow it so I can play Persona 4. As for charging, is it the cable that's the issue of the PS Vita?

Not sure what I'm talking about? Check this link. This kind of thing really intrigues me as, despite Gaider writing for Dragon Age ever since it came to exist, it's branded as fanfiction because he doesn't work there anymore. But regardless of his intentions, Gaider risks the Dragon Age community taking it out of his hands and declaring it 'canon'. On the other hand, Gaider's actions validate fanfiction writers out there that there are some authors who believe in stories outside of the 'canon' they've been given. What do you guys think of this news story?

My dad owns a PS Vita rather than myself, so I don't know too much about it. But what I do know is that he gets incredibly frustrated with how little recognition it gets from Sony and I can understand why, especially when there are so many fantastic games out there that get overlooked for the Vita even though they'd be perfect for it.

Sadly I don't have Warframe, but I'm thinking of getting it on Nintendo Switch in the future. Is it fun?

No worries at all! I really love talking about Dragon Age, hehe. But yeah, I ran into the same problem when I was building Alistair up. I kept distributing his points far too evenly so that he was pretty much average at everything. Which doesn't help when all the enemies you encounter are FAR from average, lol. Leliana is honestly very hard to understand in my opinion, but that may be because I just suck at building her. Merchants do restock yes, but honestly I get most of my stuff from Bodahn as he usually has everything I need. I THINK you are able to craft injury kits as well, if that helps you in any way?

I don't think PC is any less popular than before. Most people I know game through PC and there are still a handful of video game journalist websites that won't actually take you on unless you game on PC. That said, I'm a console player as I just prefer to slump on my couch/lie in my bed and game. You could argue that I can just do that with a laptop, but gaming laptops don't really compare to a high-end PC now do they?

Hi Randall, lovely to meet you! Happy that you've decided to hang around on the VGR forums. If you need any help don't hesitate to ask.

Okay, so you've just awoken THE BEAST because I absolutely love Dragon Age and will ramble about it for days on end. Sadly, I'm not 'the best' when it comes to combat tips but I can give you a few that haven't failed me yet. Can I ask what you're playing this on? I don't really think it matters but I've played the game on the PS3 so there may be some differences. So I wrote a huuuge piece of writing for this but my laptop decided it was a great idea to delete all of this. Which is super bloody annoying, so I'm going to make this short and sweet. You don't have to follow all of this advice, because it's very much your experience and Dragon Age is great fun when you do things your own way. Always have a mage in your party if you aren't one. Mages in Origins are fantastic because they have access to all the same skills, unlike in the rest of the Dragon Age series. Seriously they are so good, please take a mage with you at all times. They have crowd control spells that stop enemies from overpowering you like Mind Blast and Cone of Cold, and they have healing spells too. Did you say something about always having injuries? Invest in injury kits for your party. Normally Bodahn sells them, but pretty much any merchant can sell you them too. Alistair can be a meat shield if done right. I usually just put everything into con and strength for him. Give him second best armor (because I DESERVE the best armor) and give him skills that allow him to be offensive and defensive when the time calls for it. I'll be honest, I've still not figured out Leliana yet even though I've been playing since 2008 lol. Dex and cunning for her can work well, especially if she's an archer, but her skill set as a bard is key too. She can really boost the strength/defence of your party. Look into her skills more. Potions/poisons are so beneficial and really change the battle if done right. Invest in them if you can. Sorry I can't help much more. If you're struggling with it more though let me know and I'd be happy to help!

LOL you're not wrong. Most of them could definitely fit into one after all!

I love a good mobile game, though most of the games that I play on there are anime rhythm games like BanG Dream and Love Live. That said, mobile games do have the potential to gather a large audience if people just gave them a chance.

You're right Dylan! I'd love to point out more indies and help them get the recognition they deserve.

I hate open world games with nothing in them, or if they are filled to the brim with fetch quests. Those open worlds are boring, terrible and just a waste of my time in my opinion. I like my games to have merit, and while not everything needs to add a significant amount of story, if it doesn't add anything to the game apart from wasting some more time to get some more EXP then I consider it a waste and not necessary for it to be included in the game. That said, I actually do prefer open world over linear as long as it's done right. Only a few games have managed to do that, in my opinion. The Witcher 3 being one of them.

Hiya Jimmy! How goes things?

I've got mixed feelings when it comes to the whole thing. One feeling that does stand out the most, however, is that I truly don't believe Sony will lose out by allowing cross-play, and so why decline people the chance of playing with their friends? But, and this is a biiiiig but, I also don't think Sony's arrogance will cost them anything drastic. People will always go out of their way to hype Sony up, and with games like The Last of Us 2 and Death Stranding coming out, they'll soon be seen as the most beloved company. And this is coming from someone who loves Sony and their exclusives, lol.

I THINK I'm getting closer to the end, but it's just tons of side quests now and most of them are 'fight this' or 'fetch this to get this citizen' which is fine but I think I may leave to another time. How far are you? I'm on Chapter 8

Oh Sir!! Insult Simulator. It's an alright game, got it for less than a pound. 😄

I've got way too much to do so I always play less than I want to. 😞 But on the weekends I play about 4-8 hours a day? Hence why I'm still playing Ni No Kuni 2 even though I started it in April 😄

I try to keep up with everyone else, as me and my friends love playing video games together so I'd feel incredibly left out if I couldn't play with them. That said, even with the latest consoles (Switch, PS4, etc) there's still a lot that I do miss out on due to lack of money and time. Mostly time. I'm still behind in some of the big games like Far Cry 5 and God of War but I'll catch up! Eventually...

This is a hard one. I'm a JRPG fan so I'm hyped to finally play Tales of Vesperia on my Nintendo Switch, but I'm also looking forward to Code Vein, Jump Force, The Last of Us Part 2 and Ghost of Tsushima.

This is difficult for me to decide because on one hand, I'm extremely lazy and I hate going out of my way to change discs (yeah, I'm terrible) but on the other hand the thought of cloud gaming becoming a thing truly terrifies me. I've usually ended up just getting digital, but lately I've been going out of my way to get physical even though I'm sure my contribution won't matter in the long-run.

This is hilarious because I'm in the exact same boat as Katri Marcell, apart from I'm playing Ni No Kuni 2 on PS4. Gaming wise I'm getting lost in idol games like BanG Dream! and Love Live! In my defense their really addicting and I can waste hours on them.

Ben recommended me and the rest was, as they say, history.

I can't say I've ever had to refund a game. Usually I just give them to my nephew because he has a PS4 too and likes to have new games haha

I've not played MMOs in a very long time, but I remember growing up with Runescape and having so much fun on there. I'd managed to join a guild which was level 60 and up, and while I was only young then, I made some great friends and who helped teach me the ropes. I ended up leaving after I went to high school and I completely forgot my old account's username/password so I've never went back to it. But Runescape was great times.

Blimey. I only have about 5 games on my Steam library but that's because I'm a dirty console main. 😛
