I didn't mean that literally lol and I also didn't say that there were only 3 good Vita games, I meant there are only a handful of original games for the system, and even fewer that are good. Just in the last few months on 3DS we have: Monster Hunter Gen, 7th Dragon III Code: VFD, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Gotta Protectors, Rhythm Heaven, Bravely Second and Fire Emblem. Plus more to come like: Dragon Quest VII and VIII, Monster Hunter Stories, Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, Azure striker Gunvolt 2, and a new Pokemon game. Plus go look at any other system and tell me the vita still has near as many good games in comparison. I love my Vita but it's at the bottom of the list.

There are great games on both systems. If you dont like Vita games, then why do you care what is done in the homebrew scene? If it is at the bottom of your list, why spark a discussion on the forums about it? I dont often drop into restaurants I dont like and exclaim "This place, not as good as some others...Just wanted to stop in and say, its at the bottom of my list. Good day"

Last I checked, we were supposed to be talking about HENkaku and the possibilities it provides, not the age-old (and ludicrous) debate of "Vita has no games."
Because it does.
If this was 2011/2012, you'd probably say the 3DS had nothing but first-party titles.
So please, respect.

I personally think yes we should or will get vita isos soon enough but it will take longer since the guys behind henkaku have no intrest in piracy.

But it will happen eventually. Personally The whole concept of Henkaku working surprised me but then again now we also need to wait carefully for Don Sony to make their counterstrike via a patch

Henkaku itself is a userland exploit, not a kernel exploit so it wouldn't be able to do anything towards getting the still encrypted eboots decrypted (and thank god for that because piracy on the vita would basically kill it for everyone)

Oh hey wait a minute dont get me wrong. I dont want the vita to be pirated yet. I would like it down the line since realistically the vita has quite an expensive library however i dont want it to be 100% hacked through and through untill the last developer walks away from the system. Yet i doubt that will happen

lets just pray that it doesnt become a pirating machine like the psp untill at the very least these games are out

Valkyria Drive Bikhuni
Akibas trip Beat
Caligula
Danganrompa 3
Tokyo Xandu 2017 Release
999 HD Remaster
Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters

Those are just a few,there are more.But those are just my personal awaited for titles.

I personally am just straight up not ok with vita piracy. I love my vita and the last thing I want to happen to it is for a piracy boom to happen because that would straight up kill the system

Isn't the next Dangan Ronpa just an anime?

Also: here is a fun question for people who spend too much time worrying about the ethics of piracy: If I pick up a game from a pawn shop or a local game store or just borrow it from a friend, is it functionally different from piracy economically for Sony/the game developers?

It has two anime spin-offs, but the next DanganRonpa is a PS4/Vita game.

Nope the anime is finishing off the story of the first 2 games. you see there are 2 anime arcs airing right now. So 2 anime which are about Dang 1 and 2.

And then theres the 3rd game which will be out for the ps vita and ps4 which has a brand new story

I don't really see Vita piracy being a thing? Memory cards are too expensive to actually pirate a significant amount games, and why would I want to pirate 100 JRPGs, visual novels, and indies? That's all the system seems to have nowadays.

Yes, it is functionally different, when you are borrowing a copy of your friend remember he PAID for the right to own the copy, he PAID for the right to share it with his friends and family, it is his property to do as he pleases with the copy, wether that means lend it, sell it or burn it.

When you buy used it applies too, you pay money for it and it becomes legally yours, even if the company that originally make it doesn't see any prorfit doesn't make it any wrong, every industry has a second hand market, wether it is a used car, DVD's, used m furniture, or a used set of clothes, yet you don't see all these companies crying like babies that they didn't get a profit from people reselling shit they already got paid for...

Some industries add incentives to buy new like a digital one time code of a movie, that you wont get if you buy it from a second hand shop, but that makes it the customers choice if they want to make it worth their while.

Yet the gaming community developers feel so entitled that they should get paid again and again for things they already sold and want to kill the second hand market... Sounds totally irrational to me, if they want more users to pay for their crap without them reselling to others they should release digital only and forget the retail/second hand market exist.
