Ride to Hell Retribution for 2.99€!!!!
I am actually going to buy it

edit: Also grabbing MGS Portable Ops for my Vita. Now I'm glad I didn't buy it immediately. I finally have all the canon MGS games.
 
Call me crazy, but I actually liked the Mako exploration. I was pretty disappointed ME2 didn't expand upon the idea.

Mako was fun - it needed some improvements and more varied missions and terrain but instead they shitcanned it and replaced with stupid scanning mini game.
 
Is Muramasa just for the people on PSN that don't have PS+? Seems like an odd pick for the sale considering it's free to subscribers at the moment.

Omori is a "surreal, exploration, horror RPG" on Kickstarter for PC/Mac but if it reaches $250,000, it will be ported to Vita. Right now it's at $67,692 with 22 days left. Looks great IMO.

Wasn't there some insider info last year that Sony was gearing up their own translation group(s)?

If I had to guess, they probably lowered their cut and provided translation teams. I don't see any good for them to be paying straight up for these.

I remember that. I think they're part of Third Party Production, but I'm not completely sure.

“Our close collaboration with Sony allows us to release more and more niche games; Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment is the result of this successful partnership!”
How is SAO niche? It's a jrpg, a genre loved by many, based on a successful anime, is this the new definition of niche?
I honestly figure jrpgs to mostly be niche unless your name is Final Fantasy. This being a licensed anime game not named One Piece, Naruto, or DBZ, makes it even more niche. The mainstream audience knows those exists whereas only anime fans know of Sword Art Online.


Namco and SAO apart, I don't know you guys but there's this general trend to diminish everything it's on Vita and i don't really like it.
Everything is a monster hunter clone implying that we are poor people that would like the "real thing" but we have to settle with poor clones(too bad that EVERYTHING is better than Monster Hunter to me) or everything is just a small/niche/indie game, don't you think that games like Gravity Rush 2, Oreshika, Freedom Wars and others on ANY other console(with relative down/upgrades due to hardware power) would be considered AAA or at least big games?

Yeah I'd say Vita has a lot if big games, but the problem is that arguably, most of them are ports which doesn't exactly break the problem it's known for.
 
Welp, MLB 14 The Show is £38.49 on PSN. I was expecting way more. Looks like I'm returning my physical copy whenever it gets here, then. Gotta support them EU releases of niche American sports games.

Btw buy Toukiden on sale, I got it for £20 at launch and loved it.
better than Monster Hunter tbh
 
spent $6.50 and got myself some Vita analog sticks cover grips - hope it'll help make the experience even better.

and yes support Omori people!

They did for me. The edges of the analog sticks are not sharp with the covers so I have a more pleasant playing experience than I did before I got them.
 
I was not referring to you, but in general, imo the "everything is Monster Hunter clones or indies/niche/small games" is just the latest lie that haters spread to despise Vita.
The Vita is an easy target for anybody who wants to attack Sony in general, likewise the WiiU for Nintendo. Unlike the WiiU though the Vita is carving out a niche for itself so the "everything is Monster Hunter clones or indies/niche/small games" is just the latest in the long line of moving goal-posts.

What doesn't help it's image though is the insistence of the Western half of Sony in porting inferior versions of old console games.
 
This game in general has frustrated me so much, something that none of the other games in the series I've played have managed. I hope GoW 2 isn't this bad.
They learnt quite a bit from GoW1 in the gameplay, don't worry.

OK for someone who may very well play offline only? I played the demo and quite liked it, but wasn't convinced to go for it at launch.
 
May not be the right place to ask it, but do you know a good place for bying Japanese PSN digital cards (e-mail delivered)? Thanks.
I usually get mine from Play-Asia, and sometimes from Japan Codes Store.

I also remember someone mentioned about Solaris Japan before, though I'm not sure how reliable they are. Their prices are lower than Play-Asia and Japan Codes Store.

It's ok. I played more than 50 hours this game and at least 80% of those were offline.

So, I should sell my Toukiden retail copy or not? XD
 
Mmm...

I actually wondering about selling my Toukiden retail copy... The game will likely come to PS+ in the next few months and Toukiden 1.5 will probably release early next year (I'd keep the definitive version for collection purposes).

What should I do GAF?

I found out that games that hit PSN+ don't lose much value on used games market as there's a lot of people without plus and plussers tend to buy game when it's fresh anyway.

OK for someone who may very well play offline only? I played the demo and quite liked it, but wasn't convinced to go for it at launch.

I've played it for 80 hours not going online even once. Bots are good enough.
 
Planning to get Ridge Racer Ultimate, Real Boxing and Fruit Ninja. Not sure about all of them, especially both of the latter ones. Yay or nay?
Hoped for Resistance because I want some shootbang.
 
Which ones did you grab?

I have been seriously considering this for awhile now
I got these ones about 6 months ago and it's hands down the best Vita accessory purchase I've made. Better than the screen protector, better than the hori grip. They've changed my analog experience completely.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007IDIXBK/?tag=neogaf0e-20

To be specific, it's the pair with the circular rings texture, the grip is amazing and feels great to the touch. All the other pieces included in the package are garbage though.

I got them too. I did remove the d-pad ones though.
 
About
2-3
iirc, you're very close to the end of her scenario.
2-3 is more bearable :)

I probably jumped after yesterday's discussion. People were rather aggresive then xD

You aren't liking Muramasa?

Both stories aren't connected at all (outside the hot spring events when they meet) so you can finish without worries Momohime's before jumping on Kisuke's side. Both control fairly similar so, once you've learned how to play with her, you'll advance faster on the other side.
Don't worry! Lol

I like Muramasa, i just find annoying some exploration and some bosses and i feel sorry for Monohime :(

Falcom's financial thingy. Not going to say anything about it, except the following tidbit:

A few weeks(days?) ago, Falcom's official twitter mentioned that one of their most ordered item was Ys: Memories of Celceta.

This financial whatever confirms precisely that: it's selling well both inside and outside the country.

BRB, I'm going to make my first thread in NeoJAFm and it'll be Falcom related (no, not about this).
 
Dragon Ball Z Battle of Z on sale on PS3 but not Vita. :/

They learnt quite a bit from GoW1 in the gameplay, don't worry.


OK for someone who may very well play offline only? I played the demo and quite liked it, but wasn't convinced to go for it at launch.
It's got a proper story mode (unlike MH) and you can take pretty decent AI teammates along with you. I've actually only played single player so far and have been enjoying it.
 
I'm pleasantly surprised by Soul Sacrifice Delta so far. Still not too thrilled about the $36 price, but I already feel like I've gotten my money's worth. The changes are nice and the new story content is better than I expected.

Is there maintenance happening right now or something? I'm curious if anyone is having trouble with signing into their account.
Working fine for me.

Weird. I've tried changing my password like 3 times and each time there was some sort of error doing so. It kept telling me my password was incorrect earlier and having been psn hacked a few months ago I wanted to change my pass ASAP.

I tried signing in repeatedly and no password would work... Finally managed to sign in spontaneously after the 5th time.

Ugh. Nevermind. Can sign in on vita. Actual website is pooping out on me still.

Falcom running a smart, profitable ship, nothing new here. Last year their stock price septupled (7x).
 
This section in GoW

can go suck a thousand dicks.


This game in general has frustrated me so much, something that none of the other games in the series I've played have managed. I hope GoW 2 isn't this bad.

Don't recall having too much trouble at that part, but I've yet to try it on Vita myself.
 
To the people talking about Dragons Crown above: keep in mind that patch 1.05 brought some big changes to the game, so only things posted on the OT on the last 6~7 months (or more :p) works. But one of the last discussions held there was about elf and sorc, so cheers.
AHHHHHHh I totally forgot about that, good call out. I know that patch didn't do much for the Sorc I thought, but other classes got some changes for sure.
I think I'll go buy Odin Sphere for PS3. $5 for such an awesome game. Vanillaware <3
You are spending that $5 wisely. I bought it for that price a during a Halloween sale a year or two back, but never played it more than 2 hours or so. Once I beat Muru I just might make the switch over.
Bought Valhalla Knights 1 + 2 thinking they were in fact Valkyrie Chronicles.

*facepalm

Tell me i'm not going to regret buying these games?
You aren't the only one to do that recently. I can't remember who, but I know I've seen someone else do the same thing in the past month or so. Nice going on that refund though!
I love that no matter its 8pm 8 am or 5am this thread is always active :D.

oh well, I have my graduation today and I think Im gonna gift myself Borderlands 2
True, people here do operate during all hours. And congrats!! You deserve it~!

Also, lol....Purse owners....excellent wordage..
 
I don't know what their situation is before last year, but if that is true, then it's because I started buying Eiden6/7/8.

They can thank me.
Actually Eiden being incredibly profitable was cited as the cause of it lol

Also probably why their Ys output has slowed down dramatically, now that the flagship series has been replaced. Not that I'm complaining

Darn you guys and your legendary BlueCell stick covers...they were sold out for FOREVER when I got mine. Had to buy two sets of the "knockoffs", since what I got had 6 covers, all different. But still, they are an excellent addition.
So, I should sell my Toukiden retail copy or not? XD
No, save that card space!
 
Is there maintenance happening right now or something? I'm curious if anyone is having trouble with signing into their account.

I still can't buy things lol. It's almost been a week since I've been locked out of purchasing games. I'll try in a few more hours. Maybe a total of 72.
 
Seriously, that Mako GIF is better everytime I see it. Love it. I'm going to send a video to a friend that loves Mass Effect.

I like Muramasa, i just find annoying some exploration and some bosses and i feel sorry for Monohime :(

There is some item that teleports you to the last checkpoint you checked. That could help a little with backtracking from a boss area :)

Oh wow.
Hopefully for her the game doesn't have jumping. That shirt will not stay on otherwise.

If I were the devs, I'd have added a Jump button for 0.99$ lol. Gotta get perv's money.
 
So, it seems that a new Nisekoi game is announced for vita, by Konami of all people.

Nisekoi Love Plus +?

http://blog.hokanko-alt.com/archives/38820728.html

A non-baseball game from Konami on Vita in 2014?! Anything is possible! Metal Gear Solid: Big Boss's Electric Boogalo, Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V Tagforce 7, PES 2015, Castlevania Collection, Love Plus Revitalized ...

So is SDK2 going to bring trophies to PSM?

No and part of me thinks it'll never be added to PSM. You have to give a reason for indies to still buy dev kits and full PSN access seems like a good enough reason.
