I want to buy Disgaea 3 for vita, but i know the second I do it will be on PSN sale.

I want to grab Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2, but I'm worried there might be some Easter/Spring sale soon. Not likely the game will actually go on sale, but you never know.

Edit: Oh, top of page. Hmm, PS4 owners: play Strike Suit Zero. PS3 owners: play Castle of Illusion and Beyond Two Souls. Vita owners: play everything.
 
so MH Freedom unite is not on IGC anymore?i see it in the free games section but for $19.99.Sad, i bought a ps plus card just for MH lol.
 
I've considered that one actually, since I've heard positive feedback from the Vita version. I miss some simulators but I can take a more arcade approach without issues. I will see what games will get released on PS+ during May and June (E3 time) and then will make a final decision about either that one or WRC if nothing similar comes. I'm optimistic for a sale since the recent PS3 and Vita sale was really good in my opinion. :)

EDIT: I was thinking of Most Wanted for the Vita. Rivals is a good option too but it needs to get a bit lower first.

--

On a side note I also plan to get Child of Light and I got a family member to get a copy too, this game seems very interesting with nice art.

I was skeptical of Most Wanted on Vita, but managed to pick it up cheap and had a blast - not the best looking game, but really fun - go ahead, I think you will enjoy it.
 
SEN Store seems to be back up. Picked up Pure Chess, if anyone wants to play that give me a shout.

I kick myself for missing it on IGC


D4 is about to drop soon, so I figured they have a sale or at least lower the price.

Yeah, makes sense. I'm surprised it's still full price myself. NISA seemed to skip over that one when they were discounting other games :P.
 
just sold my White Vita. goodbye my friend! u've given me some of my best gaming memories in recent years! Hope Black Vita won't disappoint

What did you get for it? Thinking to sell my black Japan launch Vita, 32Gb card, VIP case and throw in some retail Japanese games - hoping to clear £120 to pay for a vita 2000
 
hmm should i buy Dead Nation?
it looks like it's perfect to play on the Vita :D

but 7.99 ><

(I chose inFamous and LBP for my Welcome Back for this account)

Bought it having not played the PS3 or PS4 version. After finishing the first mission, I bought the DLC.

It's a good addition to the Vita library. It'll have a permanent spot on my card.
 
So my Dead Nation cross buy issue seems to not be an issue anymore. I checked again once the store was updated on the Vita and it said free. Not sure what was up and why Sony support told me I wouldn't get it. Oh well
 
I got Dead Nation for free, since I already own the PS3 version (and 4 version...), but I had $10 in credit I got from that Sony Rewards program, so I used it to buy Ragnarok Odyssey Ace. It only cost me $24.99, so that wasn't too bad. Is there an OT for that game? I didn't see one, and would like to read up on it if there is.

Outside of that, just grabbed some freebies. I worked a shit ton of overtime, so my check was rather awesome, but I'm trying not to splurge. I have so many games I really, really want and am behind on. Vita alone will run me quite a bit of cash:

Final Fantasy X HD
Conception 2 (really enjoyed the demo)
Dangan Ranpa
Deception IV
Toukiden

I could get them all, but I'm not insane. I don't have that much free time to play them all. It was hard for me to choose, but I eventually went with Ragnarok, because I love a good action/rpg style game, and Ace sounded much better than the original. I'm having a hard time deciding what my second game should be, though. I could treat myself to another one if I really wanted, but I probably won't go digital like I did with RO. I have enough room on my 32GB card, but I prefer retail, truth told.
 
Dead Nation looks and plays great, except for two things:
-Aiming is finicky on the Vita sticks.
-Constantly tapping the R button to shoot. This is more of an issue with the Vita's shoulder buttons than the game itself.

Fully re-mappable controls, native res, fairly nice visuals, and a seemingly steady 30FPS . Might pick up the DLC.

they should have launched the Vita version with a PS+ discount
4.99 after PS+ for Base game
1.99 after PS+ for DLC

bought

You should be able to get around that much with the extra stuff added in, assuming the Vita is in good condition.

Yeah, especially being such a late port.
That being said: if any of you guys have $10 to burn, like twin stick shooters/zombie games and/or don't have the PS3/4 version, it might be worth checking out.

Wasn't a GAF member hinting at an amazing sale on PSN for Easter or am I dreaming? I was dying to come home and check the store only to be disappointed i.i

He said in the coming weeks, not specifically this week. Of course, there's always a chance that he was wrong.

Sadly, it doesn't seem like there is. If there isn't one by the end of next month, I could whip up something. :b
Hopefully you enjoy it.

^^^^EDIT: Thanks for the heads up, Takao. I'll check it out seeing as I enjoyed Eufloria HD.

A chance?
This is SCEA.
I think it's more than "a chance". [/healthy skepticism]

They did. Since you should already own it, you get the Vita version free, right? :P

nope.. I only have the PS4 version
I got Dead Nation for Welcome Back on another US account so I did not rebuy on this account >< which means no Cross-Buy freebie for my Vita </3
 
I have Dead Nation on PS3 and PS4 (Welcome Back and PS+ respectively) and the Vita version shows up at U$7.99 for me..

EDIT: Ops, now it shows up as free =]
The store goes haywire sometimes.
 
10 matches into the season, here are my first impressions of Football Manager 2014. Haven't really played the series and was more of a Fifa Manager player so I can't compare it to the full version.

The UI is a little bit finnicky. Sometimes the touch picks the wrong thing and overall the design is questionable. I think many options could have been streamlined and hising the task bar behind a button press seems like a weird decision. I know that the space on a 5" screen is limited but hiding the bar doesn't give any screen estate in most of the situations. They just should have designed it another way.

The loading times are totally ok though. Playing with three countries (maximum) á two leagues (you can pick a lot more additional lower leagues) simulated. The ingame rating says I have to expect a 3/5 loading time scenario. I am used to such loading times with Fifa Manager on the PC, simulating stuff takes time.

All the big leagues including the Bundesliga seem to have real team, staff and player names. Just the kits etc. aren't licensed from some. I can live with that trade off.
The squads are up to date but when you start the season, all winter transfers are already made. With the team I picked it was quite annoying because there team director sucks in real life.

The 3D matches look bad like in any other manager game. The animations are wonky, the KI stupid and I had some smaller glitches (nothing noteworthy or match deciding, just wrong replays etc.). The UI is also worst when the match is simulating.

Of course, I can't comment on the underlying game mechanics yet but it already is digital crack for me. Spend all day playing it.
 
Then why are you interested in the Demon Gaze LE? :P

The only CE that I remember buying was the P4G Collector's Edition. I never opened it though because I also bought the digital version.


SCEA did have that insane sale a few months back with Killzone Mercenary at $9 or so.

No idea but I tend to get these feelings when a game comes close to release.

Don't worry, I bought it already, so you're safe!

VitaGAF should arrange Dead Nation play-together sometimes! Can you play with PS3 folks......?

Speaking of which, is ad-hoc multi possible with Dead Nation?
 
FYI there are new demos for PS4 on PSN

1.) Backgammon Blitz
2.) Trials Fusion
3.) King Oddball

Funny enough, you have to go into 2 different Demo sections to see Backgammon Blitz and King Oddball as demos. You have to open Trials Fusion to see the Try Free Demo option.

First demo section is Games / New / Demos

2nd is Games / Demos

Clean up PSN Sony!
 
Did you just get your PS4??? because Dead Nation was free, like, last month.

Oh, I bought it for Vita. I had PS+ since January and it wasn't fre.. wait. The PS4 version was free I think.. (and I must have purchased it), so why did it let me buy the Vita version?

Edit: yes, I got Dead Nation PS4 on 03/04/2014. Was it supposed to be cross-buy and did I make a mistake?

Dead Nation PS4 was on PS+
 
Dead Nations port is so awful. It's such a quickie port job. You can't even see shit at times due to the fact they didn't bother to rejig the entire game to fit the resolution. :/
 
Dead Nation PS4 was on PS+

Yes, so I guess it isn't intended to be cross-buy?

Which I think is fine given that they priced the Vita release so competitively.

Edit: I had no idea the port was bad, I had faith in Housemarque.. someone on my PSN activity feed rated it 1 stars which surprised me.. haven't had the chance to try it out myself yet.

Dead Nation Vita only supports cross-buy with the PS3 version. The PS4 version ("Apocalypse Edition") is completely different.
