Anyone have problems adding funds through a credit card lately?

I just bought a PS4 last week. I added my credit card and started buying games. After the 4th game it tells me the credit card information is incorrect. Not sure how since I had just purchased 4 different games seconds prior.

I call up Sony and they say they see "missed charges" and to delete my billing info and try again. I did. They say to call my credit card company. I did. They are not blocking any transactions. I re-added the info numerous times and have waited a few days to try it again incase of the 24 hour lock out. Still same issue.

Any ideas on what to try outside of an alternative payment method?
 
So I've been playing Muramasa for quite a while now. I'm planning to platinum it.

So far I've maxed out everything for Momohime except for the money and I'm about to view her 3rd ending.

While for Kisuke, I've just finished his second ending.

A few questions regarding the trophies and how to achieve them.

The 3 hour completion trophy - Can I use any difficulty? I need some tips too please. :)
View all endings in Fury difficulty - I just need to fight the boss while in fury mode right?
Eating all the dishes in the country - Does this include the ones you cook yourself?
Encounter a mermaid- How?
Defeat a sea monster - How?

I need to get back to P4G at some point. I got to "let's save Rise" and just kinda lost interest. I miss the combat, but I just didn't like it as much as SMTIV, despite liking the presentation a lot more. Apples and oranges, I know. I liked how having to juggle so much irritating shit really feels a bit like high school, though.

I've also lost interest at that point, but its mainly due to the fact that I just finished the PS2 version 2 months earlier (stupid me) and the schedule guide screwed me up.

For some reason, I always have a 2-3 weeks break when I reach the middle of a JRPG. If the game is good I go back after that time and I finish it. If it isn't that good I don't remember I'm half into the game lol.

I don't know if that's normal or not.

- Yes. You can use any use any difficulty. Buy a lot of the mirrors, and use a mirror right after a boss to reduce the backtracking and use the heavylifters when possible. When I get this trophy, it took me 2:17.
- No. You have to beat the game from start to finish on fury mode. You also can't reduce the difficulty midgame.
- It is the number of the dishes eaten on stores overall. Isn't mandatory to eat on each restarurant. Cooking by yourself won't add to this trophy.
- I don't recall exactly where you enter the sea monster boss, but
but there is a stormy seashore when a fisherman tell you a rumour about a sea monster. Go back there at the end of the game and talk to the fisherman again and face the boss,If you beat it (there is a time limit), you will find a mermaid.

I actually do this too, but for me it is a 2-3 week break when I am about a third through, and when I come back I start from the beginning to "do it better" now that I understand the game better. Generally blow through that first third and finish the rest at a normal pace. That is, like you said, if the game interests me enough to come back at all.

What do you mean by heavy lifters?

I'm kinda confused now. The game asks you what difficulty you would like to play every time you load your save so I thought you would still have your progress and just have the difficulty changed.

Is that right or will choosing fury mode on my save file allow me to begin another playthrough or do I have to make another save file just so that I can start the game from the beginning?

Sorry for all the questions.

- Heavylifters are those dudes that take you to a different location paying a fee. I don't recall what was the real name.
- Fury mode don't work this way. When you start on fury mode, you have to go all the way. The game won't let you change it midway. But don't worry, fury mode isn't that bad. Keep your save intact. The only different save that I done was to make the speedrun.

People say the same thing anytime a game (they may not have even played) scores below expectation. Publication X is "biased" or "has an agenda" or "doesn't know what it's talking about". It's old and tired. If reviews are that upsetting just ignore them. What on earth does IGN stand to gain? Tearaway gets damn near perfect scores and no one bought it. The press only has so much power.

Ars Technica definitely has a bias against the Vita though, they only ever mention it in negative articles (sales figures, retarded armchair analyst editorials, etc.), and have never reviewed a Vita game since Kuchera left (not counting day 1 Vita cross-platform games).

Uggghh.. That'll be about another 30 hours of playthrough. Oh well, I like Muramasa enough that it'll be a breeze. I might buy the DLC characters before doing that trophy though.
 
Oh god that final dungeon in Ys Celceta...I can't deal with this shit anymore. That and the 0,7% of map left. I think I'm gonna shelve it now and be done with it.
 
Muramasa really is 'backtrack: the game." However, aside from that, it's really great. Only put a few hours in so far but the art and combat are pretty enjoyable. I have no idea what is going on with the story though lol.

Muramasa is "We forgot to hire level designers: the game".

How is soul sacrifice for someone that doesn't really care for monhun games but likes a decent action RPGs?
Click to expand...

Not really.

People who are fans of the genre will tell you that it's "COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, no, really!" from Monster Hunter. Don't listen to them, their idea of being different is more about specific gameplay mechanics rather than the overall structure of a MH clone, which is really what people who don't like them have a problem with.

With that said the game is still free on PS+ *and* has a demo, so why not just try it for yourself?

Define overall structure of MH clone.
 
Are there any good video guides for Soul Sacrifice with some gameplay tips? I liked it up until bosses started getting tougher. Seems like I just blow through all of my spells and then I'm basically stuck if the monster isn't dead. I'm assuming I'm doing it wrong, but I'm not sure how else to go about it.

Soul Sacrifice doesn't have a good CQC so sticking with the throw offerings and being away would be best. Use your Mind Eye's to find weak point.
Delta will fix of these trouble and can pick where you left off.

It's a game where you kill the same dozen of creatures hundreds of times in the same few enviroments to farm some items you'll later use to improve your equipment so you can fight harder battles and repeat the cycle again. The game is focused on co-op play. Bosses have mechanics and patterns you should learn to avoid damage.

I could be talking about WoW raiding though. For me, hunting games are like offline MMORPGs with lower budget and focus on what really makes them great (boss fights).

So Monster Hunter and company are like MMO's little brothers XD
