Saw this, got pumped and bought it. but it doesn’t work on my vita (no way to transfer it from the ps3 download) So you guys just made me waste $30, please update this review to reflect the fact that this game does not work on the vita
Incidentally, fuck sony, this is inexcusable
Hey Damien,
Sorry for the confusion, I’ve taken the PS Vita out of the title and italicized and boldfaced the last line so hopefully that should make it clear to others that it’s coming soon to the PS Vita. And yes it does suck that something like this is happening, why the games just don’t work doesn’t seem to make sense. I’ve emailed Atlus to see if they have any ETA on when Gungnir will be available for the PS Vita.
