Today has been a shitty day. First Sony removes all the games and then the bad ps+ lineup for vita for the US. I cannot GAF I cannot.

What a horrible morning.
 
VitaGaf, help me !
Browsing through the jrpg news today on siliconera and gematsu I kind of reminded a game, but memory is extremely hazy so I haven't much hope, but hey let's try...

- It's niche, so nippon ichi, nisa or some other small publisher.
- Modern or near future setting.
- The hero is a teen and there is a girl (yeah I know, very helpful), maybe not on the same side of things at first
- I think there is a war / secret war / threat on people
- Maybe cards, yeah it may have cards in it

So is this gibberish remembering something to someone ?
 
Sold my oled vita to a friend and ordered the slim off amazon! Hopefully the bigger grips will make my hands cramp up less, not sure if it was a wise decision overall though.

Those are not really helpful lol.

Does the game had a Western localization announcement when you read about it?

Yeah I know, really sketchy details :-S
No localization announcement, it was a Vita or PS3 Japanese game in development.
Typically the sort of small / medium game that don't come to NA.

Edit - I would say it was covered during the Vita launch or near it. When there was some crazy games like this one I never heard about anymore where you are interacting with a girl (oh my, another fucking missing title).

This actually describes 95% of the animes and games that came out in Japan for the past decade. I can't help you at all unless you can squeak out a few more details on this.
 
nice - happy for surge deluxe and puppeteer.

will def try stick it to the man and finally get to see the hub bub over skull girls ( even though i don't like fighting games)
 
Totally fine with the PS3 lineup, been wanting those games for a while. But compared to Muramasa/HSG, Vita got the shaft this time.

Seriously, who hasn't played Limbo by now? It's been on a billion humble bundles and runs on any calculator of a computer.

Lol yeah, it's hopeless I think. Going by the art style in my head, I have this strong feeling it's the guided fate paradox, but from what I can gather there is no card or threat on the human race in its pitch. Mmh...
 
I am debating selling my 32gb for 64. I can sell it for 15 RO and can buy 64 for 35 RO. WHat should I do GAF? Them floodgates convinced me to sell the card and I also made my friend interested in buying my 32 but now I am not in the mood.
 
NA PS+ can fix this by giving us a good sale + PS+ discount on
Muramasa
HSG

come on

Definitely would love a sale on Muramasa and the game is so small I wouldn't have any space issues. I believe somebody posted a screenshot of playstation blog comments that there was a hinted Vita sale to come in about 1 or 2 weeks?

HSG & Muramasa were on sale a few weeks ago but the price was still a bit steep. I can understand third party content but EU has already offered many first party games which US has not. Why?

Hell no. Between EU and US, if they've hit one region you know they're coming to the other eventually.

I thought PES14 would be an exception considering US isn't big on soccer (yet), but we got it too.

Ok, the second game is Ciel Nosurge, that's something I guess. Was it good ?
I have little hope for the first one, really generic memories indeed.
 
Not sure it it works on every stores, but I "purchased" Starlight Inception demo on PC French store and it apparently game me the full game, I unlocked a trophy after finishing the first mission.
 
R&C Trilogy is 99% confirmed:
http://www.100x100playstation.it/prodotti/catalogo/PSVita/software/sort:uscita/direction:desc


Official italian Sony PR site says that it's coming on 07/02/2014
If it's native res and a solid 30fps or close to native res and 60fps I'll be one happy Ratchet & Clank fan.

I expect the quality to be decent based on Insomniacs comments after Q-Force Vita.
EU will probably. US will not as per the trend. I have it digitally for US. Bought it for 7$
I don't think there's been a good sale on the whole Ratchet trilogy on the PAL PSN stores yet (although we did get the original Ratchet & Clank on sale) so I guess this'll be my first retail Vita Collection I end up grabbing.
 
I think I'm on to something concerning the mystery niche game. Just have to check a little bit more but I may have the answer. Sorry, this is quite OT but the little memories I had about the game announcement jumped at me and I had to find out ( '°_°)
 
I noticed that my Vita's led turns on every so often, I'm assuming it's just for checking for updates and the like but since I don't leave the wifi on it's pretty useless, is there a way to turn it off?

get the 64gb, i've put every Vita stuff I have on my 64gb and I still have 15gb left lols
 
Ok, that's it.

- It's niche, so nippon ichi, nisa or some other small publisher.
- Modern or near future setting. - Ayup
- The hero is a teen and there is a girl (yeah I know, very helpful), maybe not on the same side of things at first - Yeah yeah, well disregard the opposite side though
- I think there is a war / secret war / threat on people - totally
- Maybe cards, yeah it may have cards in it - Bingo !!!

Evidently this was such a shitty vague description that it's not surprising nobody could help me. And I mislead people because it turns out the game wasn't a Vita game but a PS3 game.

Zillions Of Enemy X

Fuck, I'm tired from all this memory delving. So the question remains. Three questions, in fact :
- Was Ciel no surge any good ?
- Was the mystery game any good (I :luv: the character design)
- Why do you torture me so, Japan, don't you love me ?

It's straight garbage compared to EU. Again.

PlayStation Plus for May! - Stick It To The Man! (PS4), Puppeteer, Pro Evolution Soccer 2014, Skullgirls Encore (PS3), Surge Deluxe, Limbo (PS Vita), more

These are the same:
Stick it to the Man! (PS4)
Puppeteer (PS3)

These are bad choices:
Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 (PS3)
Strictly speaking from the US point of view, soccer isn't that big here. And most people who are into soccer here either (1) prefer FIFA or (2) already own it.
Skullgirls Encore (PS3)
Fantastic game. However, it's been on deep discount everywhere on PS3 (vanilla) and PC (the equivalent of encore). If you have a decent PC, it's better there to begin with. If you want it on PS3, odds are you bought it when it was less than $5 previously and got the free upgrade to Encore. So again we get a game that's basically been heavily featured in sales so that a good majority of PS+ owners who were interested at all *should* have it.

PS Vita:
Surge Deluxe (PS Vita) - I don't own it, was going to buy it to support Futrlab, but never got around to buying it. It's a $5 game for crying out loud -- it costs less than a PSone classic and 95% of PSP games. I'm probably going to buy it prior to it going free at this point too.

Limbo (PS Vita) - Again, it's been on sale 84 times in the past year. It's cross-buy with PS3 (or at least it was?) so any of the sales have applied to it. I liked the game on Vita and recommended people check out the port if interested the next time it was on sale. And yet, here we are, getting it free... yes, EU got it free, but that was a long time ago so it would have saved anyone with PS+ from spending money on it during the sales.

SCEA really is a dumpster fire.
They finally did something good with the maintenence that allowed all PSOne games to be downloaded through your download history, but that was probably some fluke and they'll end up "fixing" it so it's back to the way it was at this rate.

I have some bad news for you... :-S
 
if Sony stuck w OLED, Vita 2K would have been Vita Perfect. lol but oh well.

The LCD isn't that bad really
I'm kind of looking forward to the LCD changeover.
I do nothing but stare at monitors and screens all day so having a less bright screen will actually help in the eye strain department.
And I'll still have my OLED unit handy if I want to game on it. I'm entertaining the idea of making it my import unit.
Goodness knows I'll be waiting forever to play Kiseki goodness if I'm dependent on XSEED.
