Isn't there some sort of maintenance going on? Could have sworn I saw a thread about it last night.

EDIT: This is the thread I'm referring to: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=828187&highlight=psn+maintenance
 
I just got this in my email, for all those who wanted to buy the NA version of Dj Max technika:

Ordered :)

But i wonder if it means someone made reprint or VGC found some hidden cache of not sold yet copies

Also ouch that's the most expensive Vita game I've ever bought.

I can't log in to any store since last night. I have a Euro account (my main one),a Japanese and a NA one and i can't enter the store from any of those accounts. WTF is going on?

Edit:Oh i just saw the thread about the maintenance. :/
 
Last night around 12:30am pdt version .10 of the ps3 store app when I clicked on it was available for download. I had deleted it thinking something was corrupt when I saw the plus auto update notification that the store was patched and I kept getting that unknown error. Came on here and saw other people were having issues too. Everything was fine after that.
 
I don't know why they even try with the PS3 store. It's fucked.

They went for flashy visuals over usability. I actively avoid using it.
 
Awesome. Great share!
Was the gun user playing on a PSP, or did he/she just have something against adjusting the camera via the right stick? Damn.
lol I thought the same thing, likely just didn't care to move the stick. Iirc the PSP version doesn't have those fancy shadows we take for granted. Course, that could be just for the monsters.

Download list is your friend. As is the search function in the store, providing it actually loads..
 
Not really. The download list is a mess, even more so now that all Vita games are marked as Vita/PS3 in the web store.

Usefulness of the download list is directly proportional to the number of DLC and useless addons you decided to buy on a whim. I really wish I could just filter out games vs DLC, then it would be bad but at least useable.
 
I only use the webstore.

I wish they'd fix the download list. Something tells me it's impossible and they don't want to mention it, otherwise they would have sorted it by now.

It's crazy that they haven't even bothered to add any sorting options to the PS4 Library either. It looks a bit nicer and loads faster than the PS3 download list, but the functionality is about the same.

Edit: Although it doesn't show PS3 and Vita games, so that might be a slight improvement...

But..but...it's still better than the actual store itself almost! Only really for recently bought titles, anything older than a few weeks and the search function takes the cake. The "queue to download" never really worked for me from the store either.
 
Should I buy Tekken 6 or Tag Tournament 2 (planning to play the game alone/offline for most of the time)?

You can't go wrong with either. Before, I usually play Tag T2 since I am practicing my all girls roster (Lili, Xiao Yu) but I also play Tekken 6 at times with some friends.

Web store on iPad, add to PS3 download queue, then when I turn my PS3 on it has either already downloaded, or it tells me I have downloads pending. I haven't been on the PS3's own store for ages.


Has anyone bought worms on PS4 yet? Any good?
 
I just bought Hot Shots Golf for the vita and it's surprisingly really good.
Are the DLC characters and golf courses worth it?
The courses are really cool, though I still haven't devoted the time to really learn them well. I really liked them though, and they add a good bit to the game. Characters are worth it, if you aren't too keen on the original roster. Plus, you can play as Kat! Personally, I have gotten well over a hunred hours of gameplay out of everything in the normal game.
 
Target June 8-14 20% off all Vita titles. Wonder if we could be able to get a price match and then get an additional 20% off

That'd be awesome, but the two Targets near me NEVER have any Vita stuff in stock. They still have shit like Mod Nation Racers for $30. It's really frigging lame. And I live in Los Angeles, so you'd think they'd have a bit more Vita stock.

The target near me only carries Vita cases and a screen protectors
:(
 
I haven't been able to connect to the US store to purchase anything since yesterday. I'm talking with Live Assistance and they're telling me the site isn't working properly.

It's fucked up because I signed up for plus just to get Resogun, and now I'm not going to be able to because of it. So I just cancelled the service. I'm thinking of cancelling the PS4 I ordered too. Fucking bullshit.

Just redeem Resogun through the webstore and sit back intill the PS4 comes in and store should be fine by then.

I wonder if you're having the same problem I had a few weeks ago. There's still time for you to get Resogun though, so don't give up yet. Don't touch your account for 24+ hours, and since the store doesn't update until Tuesday, you can easily do this. Once you waited long enough, try to buy things again. It should work if you're having the same problem I had.

Sony support wasn't able to help me, but others that had the same problem was.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Webstore. There's no other way to redeem it since he doesn't have a PS4 right now.

I can't access the webstore. I've been trying all day. It also tells me my membership has "expired" so I can't get them for free even if I could access it.

I literally just got a refund for it. I'm tired of fooling with it and I'm not confident that it will be fixed by the time the game expires (which I thought was the 3rd). It'll take 7 days to go through. So maybe I'll take that many days to deactivate. Who knows, but I feel burnt by this whole interaction.
 
What's the cheapest/best case that doesn't make the slim vita fat?

Also does hori still sell screen protectors or should i go with a zagg?

For the vita 2000 I cannot recommend the hori screen protector enough. Honestly, after I put it on, I thought I accidentally peeled it off during application because I couldn't tell anything was there. Not one bubble or visible seam or anything, and it feels great. I have this one here, from amazon. Don't know about a case though, as I don't use one.

The reason I've asked is because I've already dropped this damn thing twice because of how slippery it is.
 
Hope you enjoy your stay here on Gaf; its a great place :D! I got a Vita mainly due to the consistent glowing praise the system got on here and am very happy with my purchase (own my Vita since June of last year :D).

Glad you enjoy Tearaway; it was easily my GOTY last year due to its great controls, wonderful story, charming characters, and just inventive gameplay :).

Some games I recommend are Persona 4 Golden, Sly Collection, and Gucamelee. The first game is so recommend here that you must own it by now, but if you don't its a great value; characters that really stick with you, almost perfect pacing, great story, tons of content to play through, really fun combat system and all around solid presentation.

The second is by far the BEST PS3 to Vita port from Sony; great controls, native resolution for all three games, easily trophies for the first two games, and a very stable performance across all three games. The Sly games rock and they still do on Vita :D.

Lastly, Guacamelee is by far my favorite Indie game on Vita and its due to many reasons. Firstly, the game looks great on the Vita's OLED screen and has a awesome soundtrack. Secondly, the gameplay is great; wonderful mix of combat and platforming that is paced out very well. Lastly, the 'Metroidvaina' aspect of the game really gives it a lot of replay value. It is overall a great game and a must own if you own a Vita or PS3 (as it is on both platforms).

Hope this helps :).

Thanks man, appreciate the recommendations. Got Guacamelee when it first came out, and I think that's one of my favorite indie games second to Hotline Miami. Also have P4G, and still need to beat it. Taking my time with it haha. I'm really enjoying it. Persona 3 Portable was pretty much my drug of choice when I had my PSP, and couldn't get enough of it..When I heard Golden was coming out before the Vita even launched, it solidified my eventual Vita purchase... I'll have to check out the Sly collection. I only played the first one, so it would be cool beating the other 2 on the Vita.
 
Hay Gaf, I just want to ask, is it a good idea to pick pick up some games from GameStop?

They have Ys Vita for 30 bucks new (around 33 in total with tax included) and some other games (LBP Vita 18 bucks digital, Ninja Gaden Sigma 16 bucks used) but is it better to wait untill E3? I am sure they will have some big sales or something then (they always do), so I would just like some input. Appreciate any help :).
 
So I got Gravity Rush (PS+) and booted it for the first time today.

When it went into the first screen with the black screen with the white logo, it just hanged. I waited, and the OS menu music kept playing, but nothing happened.

So I swiped to exit, then tried again, only this time it just hanged at the icon and wouldn't open.

Then after going in and out of sleep mode it got stuck at the blue stand-by screen.

So I held the power button until it finally reset, and it went into Safe Mode, and I just picked Restart.

Then it worked fine since.

Is this a bad sign that it's not well, or is this normal somehow?

I have a NA system if it matters to specify.

Yeah man, I feel your pain. My Target has crap for Vita games, and they're all over priced as well. I was surprised that they had a copy of Borderlands 2 though. Managed to get a decent amount of money due to their triple trade in promo, and this would have been the perfect time to get Danganronpa, but of course, they wouldn't carry such a game..

Enjoy P4G man :D; wonderful game and it has tons of content to play through (glad you like P3P as well; got that during a recent Persona sale and find it just as great as P4G).

The Sly Collection is a good buy due to Sly 1 and 2 being awesome games; the former really evokes memories of Crash Bandicoot (I guess it is the games sudo-liniar level design that helps that :)) and the latter really adds things into the mix with a completely different gameplay structure (you have a much larger hub world and the levels play out like a Mission Impossible deal). The third game is....good :l. Sucker Punch (I guess in a way to pad out the game; barely got a year of development) thought it was a wonderful idea to add more playable characters....and while Sly/Bentley/Murry feel great to play as...everyone else ranges from average to just painful to play as X(. This only gets bad after the third world so, you have 1/3 or 1.5/3 of the game being great and the rest being okay?

Either way the collection is a good deal in the end :).

Move on.

It's probably a database thing or memory thing or something.

Also, if you're the kind of guy who never turns off your Vita coz "OMG sleep mode is GOD", you should change that habit. It takes less than 15s.
 
Thanks a lot to everyone who gave me advice on SRPGs. I still haven't decided what to do. I guess I'll be holding off on "Devil Survivor", since the consensus seemed to be that it's not beginner-friendly at all. I AM curious about "Tactics Ogre", but 1) I was under the impression that it was more complex and with a steeper difficulty curve than FF:T, and 2) while I own FF:T since it's been on sale a number of time, "Tactics Ogre" is fairly steeply priced and has (as far as I know) never been on sale on EU PSN.

A bit disappointed to hear that "Fire Emblem" is probably my best bet. I'm sure it's a great game, it's just that all of the games I listed are in my fairly huge backlog of currently owned but unplayed games, whereas I don't own FE:A yet. :) Also, one thing I really dislike about the 3DS in comparison to the Vita (which is rarely appreciated when the comparative costs of the systems are discussed, e.g. the excessive memory card prices for the Vita) is that all the good games on the 3DS (i.e. mainly Nintendo-published) are really expensive and don't tend to drop in price. This includes FE:A. But my research indicates that new physical copies of FE:A are really scarce here in Sweden, so given that it's a game I'll really want to play sooner or later (seems great) maybe I should just bite the bullet and add another stone to the growing burden that is my backlog.. :p Anyway, thanks again for your advice guys!

I don't know if I responded to whatever your Q was, but don't sleep on Gungnir for SRPG's, after you pick up FFT & Tactics Ogre:

It's a really high quality game. I've seen it go on sale a lot here in NA, not sure about over there.

Nope, I always turn it off when I'm done for the day, but I do leave it on sleep if I'm out with it. :P
 
So I have BL2 on my PS3 from plus, totally vanilla version. I downloaded the DLC I got from BL2 on Vita on PS3 and it all installed fine. The reverse doesn't work?
Did you check to see if your DLC from BL2 Vita actually works when you boot up BL2 PS3? I swear Mechomancer was still locked when I tried starting a new game on the PS3. I might have to double check too...
