PlayStation Network Thread (Vita/PS3/PS4) | July 2014

enjoy! let us here your impressions or if you need some game suggestions/opinions.

@vanwinkle did you ever solve your broken vita/charging cable dilemma? what was the issue?

Yup, it was the charging cable. I used my fiancee's cable and it started charging my Vita immediately. So happy!
 
You're not, it's been bought up by a couple of people and Jawhad said he was double checking. Hopefully we find out from him or 5pb. if that's the right price or not soon.

One user on facebook pointed out the current price tag on the EU store and asked whether the DLC will still be charged seperately and 5pb replied and said that it will be sold seperately. No special mentioning of the price point so I guess the price is correct?
Can't say that I am too happy with that seeing that it will only cost 12$ in the US. I am used to a 1$=1€ conversion but a 1$=1GBP conversion is really bad. Same story like the NISA Europe Store :( Stll contemplating whether I should bite the bullet or just wait for a sale.
 
Original Message: So just to be clear... is Phantom Breakers coming out 8/6?

UPDATE
So just got this email from the PR firm handling Phantom Breaker for Vita. Seems it has been delayed for NA until 8/12...

"Hi all,

Thanks for your interest in reviewing Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds for PS Vita. Unfortunately there have been some hiccups with the submission process, so the game has been delayed until 8/12 in North America.

We have yet to receive the review codes for both EU and NA, but once we do, we'll be sending them out. Please bear with us until then!

Thanks,
Strangely Compelling"
 
Oh then can you confirm one thing I read about it ? That it
ends on a cliffhanger
?
That part is completely accurate. I found that the story got progressively weaker as I played the game. I did enjoy the characters, the combat system, and most of the dungeon environments.

Gah, major butts. Oh well, guess the 12th is officially Akihabara day.

Ahahahahaha.
 
It's very average. I played through the entire game and it was fine, certainly nothing near the train wreck so many people here seem to think it is.

Only if you already played Demon Gaze and like DRPGs. It's not as bad as people make it out to be, I doubt half of them have even played the game.

From what I gather of the game, it is a crappy Persona clone :l. I don't know if that makes it BAD, as it is copying its tool-set from one of the top RPG's out there, so it should be a okay game at best. I don't own it, so I can't give a fair view on it, but from what I saw of it, it looks generic.

NO STAY AWAY FROM THAT GARBAGE.

Ouch, guess I'll give it a pass, picked up Rogue Legacy instead. Thanks guys :-)

It just seems so weird for them to cite a price and then go with something much higher, especially after saying it on Facebook and via PR before it released. A shame if that is it. I really want the game on Vita and held out for it but the Xbox release here is only $10 here, which equates to less than half price.

I knew we'd have to deal with to deal with a higher price on PSN due the conversion rates, but I didn't think we'd get screwed over by them that bad by opting for GBP instead. Ah well, suppose I should be used to it by now. And same here, I really want it on Vita but I feel like I mayaswell just wait for a sale at this point (if we get one eventually) or get it on 360.

No problem :D. I think you should try finding footage of it on Youtube or something first and see if it sounds interesting to you. Here is a link to some videos of the game. Good pick with Rouge Legacy :D; heard really great things about that game :).

Rogue Legacy is so awesome. My goodness. I'm really loving it.

I think I'm actually liking it more on PS4, though, which I'm surprised by.

Thanks obama

I heard it had
some type of cliffhanger/unresolved
ending, which was what kept me from buying it. I may snag it if it goes to $10.
 
So this conflicts what's currently being advertised on the EU Ireland store for the Instant Game Collection:

Which one is it Sony?[/QUOTE]

I'm guessing Luftrauser will go free on ps+ next month
 
is it possible to get someone with dwarfism but also the class that has a ton of HP on rogue legacy?
Pretty sure I had that combo last night and it was one of my most successful runs.

Not a bad month for the plus games. Already own dragons crown on vita and not interested in crysis 3 but I did old off on Fez waiting for a sale or free and I'm keen to try out all the other games.

But what am I gonna play after P3P?
 
One of the trophies is still bugged and unobtainable. They said they're trying to find time to fix it on reddit, so if it is going free, that would be the time to have it working... actually, no, people who paid money for it would be the time to have it working, but PS+ IGC would be the time to avoid bad word of mouth from a lot of new people.

The unobtainable trophies in Luftrausers and TxK (I know, different developers) really need to be fixed. I still haven't bought Luftrausers because of it.

I can't lie and say I didn't/don't have a ton of fun with Luftrausers anyway, but it is mildly annoying for me and I know it's a big issue for some. Right before Stealth Inc went free they released a second DLC pack and a patch that also fixed the leaderboard exploit and cleaned out all the fake times... so that's definitely the precedent for getting something fixed for PS+ imo.

Also didn't know TxK had any trophy problems too... that game is so cool and that's a shame.
 
Just a heads up O and X aren't switched in the Western release of Phantom Breaker, so when you start a new game make sure you use O to confirm you want to create a new save file or you'll be stuck like me thinking the game has bugged out. BTW it says nothing about this on the screen or until the main menu by which time you'll have worked it out by yourself.
 
Now that Dragon's Crown is going free, I hope it's sale prices are rock bottom from here on out. I wouldn't mind getting a dirt cheap digital copy to supplement the physical copy.
 
so glad PS3 Dragon Crown is gonna be on PS+ too that's the version I'm missing.

is there anyway to browse the Web Store to find all the FREE content?
T_T they have an Add-On tab... but that precludes the free costumes and what not. ugh
 
I think I'll start playing it again when it goes free too. I never went as deep into it as I wanted to. Anyone who wants to play, add me on PSN.
 
Wow, whoever it was that said the story mode for Treasures of Montezuma Arena was unfinished wasn't kidding. It literally ends in the middle of a battle.
 
Yo guys, has anyone played Ninja Gaiden Sigma on Vita? Thinking about picking it up.

Angrier people than me will say it's unplayable, but all I saw was some occasional, very brief loading pauses between big chunks of large areas and a sub-optimal but decent performance. The game is complete and the gameplay/controls are all intact. There's a gyro aiming thing that's pointless but you can still aim normally.

It's still one of the best games ever made in portable, handheld form. Sigma 2 runs much worse, but I still appreciate having it.

Would you recommend it over the PS3 version?

Thanks!
 
No, I wouldn't. Even though I want to be all about that Vita love. If you're wanting to play the game for the first time and get the best experience, you're better off with a console version.
 
Maybe a bit off-topic.

Is it possible to use the DS4's headset jack while it's connected to the PS3?

Google wasn't much help.
 
PSN chargers you immediately for pre-orders right? I want to get all 4 games on that deal but I need to make sure I have the money on my card when I make the purchase.
