Good lord. I used to play and love Football Management games years ago (CM on the Amiga was the last one) then they got too damn insanely involved for me. I had heard the Classic versions of FM were a throwback to these simpler days and was tempted to dip back in but from those reviews they look as complex as ever! And WTF must the full FM be like then?? LOL. Maybe not for me...
 
God I love Divekick so much. Started playing again because of the latest update. Only reason I stopped playing before is because the online was dead. The online now is.....still kinda dead. But not as dead as I expected. Managed to get in quite a few matches tonight. Granted most of those were against the same 3 or 4 people over and over again, but still it's better than nothing. So fun. I don't care what anyone says. Gameplay wise this is my favourite fighting game ever. I really hope Sony put the game in the instant game collection at some point in the future so it can at least temporarily give the player base a boost.
 
PS3 on its way out? It still has at least 2 years ahead of it and plenty of good exclusive games coming out for it.

I'd argue that it has a better upcoming lineup than PS4, but thats just me.

So two years (in the grand scheme of things, that's still pretty short).and all your extra money from here on out you put into the system is gone (as this sale is digital only and nothing transfers over). Don't get me wrong, I'm still playing game on the system, through rentals and retail purchases that I can trade back in because I do agree with you that PS3 has better games than PS4 right now, but I'm VERY wary of buying PS3 PSN money right now when the system is nearing death and nothing transfers over. Hopefully Sony knows that and if this is only a PS3 sale prices accordingly. But maybe that's just me.
 
very soon ;)

I won't hold my breath.
Most of the NA sales are pretty predictable in the sense that most games that seem to go on sale in NA fit into the following:

*Games that are kind of niche so most of the people who were interested in them have already bought them long ago
* Old games that aren't selling anymore
* Games that have been on sale 800 times before
* Games that are about to go free on PS+

I tend to buy digital versions of the games in my backlog and then sell the physical copy... but even then, there's not a lot of games I'd want on PS3 and the Vita selections in NA are pretty much outlined by the above statements. :P

TL;DR: I'll believe it when I see it. Hopefully I'm pleasantly surprised.

I don't even know where to start on this. :P
 
Anybody have any tips for Soul Sacrifice? I'm enjoying it but I'm blowing through my spell charges too quickly, so I think I'm doing something wrong.

Also, I finally picked up Dragon's Crown and P4G. Not too sure if I'll like Persona but it was only $20 on Amazon, so it's worth a shot I suppose.

Wrong thread? :lol
Or wrong system? :P
I find it odd there would be a Dualshock version of a PC game but that's just me
 
Agree. Are the DLC courses worth it?

Since people play online tournaments with them, yes. But they're DAMN hard.

Depends on if you want to pay an extra $5-10 for the DLC courses/characters/stuff or not.
 
Had some time to play Infamous Second Son today. Nearly cleared the whole first area and as soon as I got
the neon power
my jaw dropped. Really a worthy next gen experience, the lighting is just crazy and the game runs so well. The traversal is incredibly fun as in the former titles, love it.

I get the criticism that the sidemissions are pretty much copy and paste though. Its a typical open world game problem.


Can't wait for the rumored Infamous Vita.

Good to know.

I bought Kat for 99¢ but her model isn't as animated or modeled as well as the included characters. I'll probably pass on the rest then and just enjoy what's there.
 
all i can say for now is there will be an awesome sale in the coming weeks. GAF will be happy wallets will bleed ;)
I know you can't answer specifics but let's say I picked Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus as my free game from Target's buy two get one free sale. Would it maybe be a good idea to reconsider that choice while the sale is still going on because I might be able to get it cheaper digitally soon? Speaking purely in hypotheticals.

I've held off opening it when I saw Europe had a big sale because I thought the US might also have a big sale that could include it.

It's going to be a sad, sad day when the final PS3 game comes out and everyone's PS3 and all of their games just melt into a big black puddle. :(

WTH? It happened to my SNES and GBA. :(

And it's not like this is exclusive to games!

When Harry Potter's final book was released, all the words & letters in the previous books disappeared when I finished the final chapter.
 
LTTP on Hot Shots Golf for Vita. It's pretty freaking great. Would like to know if anyone here still plays it?

I've gotten back into it. I'm horrible at it, but it's such a great game.

Holy shit Stealth Inc. is awesome. The music is fantastic too. You can get it here, if you haven't already.

It's great on the Vita. I wish the PS4 version was Cross Buy.

It's probably the one only one of Curve's PlayStation titles I didn't own. It's really good though.

Jesus christ, I've never even heard of this one. How many Neptunia are in development?

Not the official names, I'm just don't want to look up the Japanese titles lol:

Announced:

Noire Spinoff (Vita)
Hyperdimension Neptunia U (Action Game) (Vita)
Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory 2 (No platform announced)

Released This Year:
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2 (Vita)
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 (already released in Japan; coming to NA in Summer) (Vita)
Hyperdimension Neptunia Producing Perfection (already released in Japan; releasing in NA in May) (Vita)

--

As a Neptunia fan, I'm pretty hyped. I just need to get my PS3 fixed so I can finish Mk2 and start Victory.
 
Just finished Virtue's Last Reward. It took me about 15 hours before I started to really get into the game, but the payoffs were so worth it. Now I just have to go back and play 999. Also, Zero Escape 3 needs to happen.
 
So Ragnarok Odyssey ACE now has this weapon type called Halomonas.
Basically, they're weapons that allow you to "customize" them to a certain extent. You are given a bunch of objectives that, when completed using the Halomonas weapon, will attach a certain skill to that weapon. So you can effectively choose what skills your weapon will have, and even change the weapons appearance as it goes through the "tree" of quests/forms.

You have to choose between skills/quests though. Meaning that you can't do everything associated with your Halomonas weapon and get every possible skill it has. I'm not sure if you can revert your Halomonas weapon back to its base/previous level either, but that's not an issue at the moment since I have at least 4 Halomonas Executioners.

You can't refine Halomonas weapons though, so they can't be turned into cards. But apparently they can be some of the most powerful weapons in the game once fully leveled.

oh man, 999 is so good.

you really should have played it before VLR :/

It never leaves my memory card! I'm pretty bad and every now and then I ragequit, but it's so much fun~

Anybody have any tips for Soul Sacrifice? I'm enjoying it but I'm blowing through my spell charges too quickly, so I think I'm doing something wrong.

Also, I finally picked up Dragon's Crown and P4G. Not too sure if I'll like Persona but it was only $20 on Amazon, so it's worth a shot I suppose.

You regen your spells by sacrificing things (unless you "break" them. Stop using when they blink red). There are some spots at the stage where tou can reffil them a bit, too.

If you're starting now, I suggest against saving everything. Also, melee skills are crap.

P4G starts slow, so bear with it for a bit.
Dragons Crown is pure love.

Love hsg vita. I was on a tear inching near to platting it....then i lost my vita.. And still don't have a new one.

So worried my impact timing and distance gauging is going to be too off to complete the plat whenever i get that new vita..
 
Missable hidden collectables which you need 100% of and have to restart the entire game if you miss one to get a trophy are the bane of modern gaming for me. Ruined the last of us for me.

5 minutes into unsuccessful pixel hunting a soda can at the beginning of Jacob Jones I realize they don't even give you a counter of how many you'd found. Uninstalled..
 
God I love Divekick so much. Started playing again because of the latest update. Only reason I stopped playing before is because the online was dead. The online now is.....still kinda dead. But not as dead as I expected. Managed to get in quite a few matches tonight. Granted most of those were against the same 3 or 4 people over and over again, but still it's better than nothing. So fun. I don't care what anyone says. Gameplay wise this is my favourite fighting game ever. I really hope Sony put the game in the instant game collection at some point in the future so it can at least temporarily give the player base a boost.

I had to stop because playing jefailey was ridiculous when everyone would just choose schoals. No blind picks were a terrible decision. Once the vita patch is out, I am looking to pick things up again.
 
I await the inevitable disappointment that the Vita version is a 3DS up-port :(
I'm sure it will be. Not going to touch another Vita Lego game until it gets the game it deserves.

I fire it up every once in a while to stare at the most frustrating missing trophy on my account. :'(
