Think I'm going to grind out the platinum in P4G. I love the game enough that Hardcore Risette Fan won't be enough to make me hate it. The rest of them are relatively simple. Can't decide how much of the compendium I actually want to tackle in my first playthrough since grinding money is a lot easier in NG+ when I can increase how much I get.
I'm used to doing dungeon grinding with sound turned off so going for HRF is going to be a new experience.

Make sure you don't miss the Book that the Sports(Strength I think) Social Link gives you like I did! D:

It's alright. The story did nothing for me and the environments, though beautiful, are empty and same-y. The puzzles were good.
Looks like it's time to make another Japanese account. Really wish I did a proper e-mail for my old one with Megaman 1-3 so I didn't lose it when my old PS3 died
After getting around to lvl 90 with Arashimaru MUCH quickier than with Gonbe, I'm led to believe that the latter had either enemy scaling or xp earning bugged - I can powerlevel quickly with Ara in Hida (same as Momo and Kisuke), but gave up with Gonbe since it was so. slow.
Might get Ara's second ending today, and then comes the waiting for the 4th DLC~

Kind of. I don't know if I'll drop 15+- on it knowing that it's Curve game (so it could either be free or less than 5 in less than a month after release).
I'm realising I have too many game sitting here for both PS3 and Vita and need to stop tossing money at games I'll play some years from now... :/

As I said before I preordered it from the EU store for about 10.

That nearly happened to me with Hotline Miami for the Vita. I was like "whew, dodged a bullet there"! Generally, I think you've just got to accept that it's going to occasionally happen. You can't let it stop you from buying the games you want.
If you've got more than one device (I've got PS4 + Vita), Plus still makes a ton of sense and is definitely good value.

You're absolutely right there. Better buy whatever you want, you can't predict the future!
Most of my Vita games are PS+ titles, i think the only ones i've actually bought are Terraria, Tearaway, Metal Gear Solid Double pack and Borderlands 2. The rest either came with the console or were PS+ titles. I don't tend to worry about the whole "if i buy it now, will it be free next month" idea.

Rogue Legacy is the perfect side game. I have some time before leaving for school/work? I do a quick run. Got free time before bed? Another quick run. Game is fantastic, it plays amazing and is very well suited for quick burst of play.
Most of my stuff is from ps + too, but I have some chunk I bought, like Tearaway, Toukiden, P4G (those retail) and Rayman Legends, Unit13 and at least 2-3 more I can't remember right now. Plus all the PSP and Ps1 stuff I've gotten since I got my Vita.

I was eying the copy in my own store incidentally. One needs to be familiar with the series to play it right? Not a self-contained title?
Crap. Xillia 2 is this month? Nooooo. My wallet. My free time ;(
For some reason my Vita's internet connection is really weak. It has been like this for the past few weeks. Internet connection test results are as expected and I don't have problem with any of the devices at home but anything internet related is a no go on the Vita. Does not connect to the store most of the time and when it connects it stops loading a few second later and pages come up empty. Anything I can do?

No...because I played it on PC and it was one of the best games of 2013. You'll like it. Don't worry about controls either, I played it with a gamepad.
You're right... that's definitely a good price. Glad to see they're doing actual $->€ conversions
(though I still don't know if I'm getting it...wednesday I'm gonna have 2 more games in my already big Vita backlog)
That's cool! I'll get it as soon as it goes on sale, thanks!
I don't have DMC3, I should get the trilogy someday if I can find it for dirty cheap... I'll try to play it before 4 then!
Meanwhile I wanted to see Ninja Theory's first attempt at the genre and started Heavenly Sword(got a year ago for 5€
. I think I'm halfway thorugh. The combat is definitely reminding me of DmC as you can switch in real time between light/normal/heavy attacks with L/R and combine them... I'm liking it. There are a couple things off though, like framerate and inputs and the Kai sections (too many and not too good).I remember people calling it a GOW clone back in the days, but it's nothing like that...the game is all about action and the combat it's deeper than GOW's. It lacks the epicness and the overall refinement of the God of War games, but it's still a good and underrated action game. A PS4 60 FPS re-release with tighter controls would be very cool, they could pair it with that HS movie announced not so long ago.
edit: double post, sorry. Didn't realize it was the same thread lol
What a great day for my gaming ego xD. I've just beaten 3-2, 3-3 and 1-3 in Demon's Souls (boss 1-3 was an adrenaline rush for me, you really need to know how to use your rolling skills to defeat this guy) and I've played some extra levels in Jet Set Radio.
I'll say it again. This game is great. It has some of the old clunkyness from the 6th gen (weird hitboxes and some weird camera angles) but it's pure charm. Great music, graphics that have aged quite well (everything is low poly, most stuff are plain surfaces with textures, but it's not noticeable unless you're on a first plane), gameplay is great. If it wasn't for all the love this game gets on GAF I'd have never given it a try.

Make sure "Use Wi-Fi in Power Save Mode" in Settings > Power Save Settings is unchecked, it'll take your wifi chip out of power save mode and strengthen the quality of your connection for faster downloads over a distance.

Just uploaded some Road Not Taken raw gameplay I recorded during Sony's E3 Judges Event last May:

Thanks, I wasn't aware of such an option but it is already unchecked. I don't see anything else in the settings that might be the cause. I guess only option left is restoring the system which is quite a hassle.

Try rebooting your router.
If you're unsure how to do that, the easiest method is to unplug it, wait ten seconds, then plug it back in. Could be something to do with the way it's connecting currently, and your router needs a reboot to fix it (this is a common issue, unfortunately).

The indie hate I see on the PS Blog always depresses me.
Never change, man
.
Good. Good.
I've already played the first forty minutes or so on PC actually. Loved it, but I never got around to finishing it. I was wondering how well the controls would translate to controllers, but glad to hear it still plays well!

.personally it has the potential to become my game of the year

Just recently finished 999 ("safe" ending on first play through). Am I weird that I vastly prefer Danganronpa? Is VLR a lot different?
Until you hit the true ending in 999 you've only played half the game. You'll probably change your mind at least in terms of plot, not necessarily gameplay.
Keep going, you haven't reached the best part of 999 yet. I thought VLR was quite a bit inferior to 999 in terms of story and atmosphere. Still, you should give it a shot.
Got the second ending on the 3rd Muramasa DLC (Arashimaru). His last ability makes him invincible while his air secret art is active, lol. But he's a beast before that already, really liked playing with him.
Well, you only properly finish it when you get the true ending. Keep playing - you'll get really hooked to it soon enough.

There's a true ending. Get that and then you win 999.
Then play Super Danganronpa 2 in September and have your mind blown at how much better it is than Danganronpa 1

999 and VLR as a whole have one of my most favorite narrative centered plots from any game I've played. You will only truly appreciate them once you get that True Ending. DG is good, but it is no 999. Idk about DG2, but I just don't think you can even compare both in terms of what they do, and how they do it.
Quick question and something I probably should have asked looong ago.

Is this considered the hand grip add-on for the Vita? I remember a while back that there was one that scratched triggers or ruined them in some way. So I want to see if there's anything that's considered the best. I have an OLED Vita, not the new one.

I have this one and it feels good but the triggers get sort of stuck on the shoulder buttons, which is really annoying. I switched to a different grip that left the L and R buttons bare.

Don't worry, you're not the only one.
One is in danger of not getting a sequel while the other had a enhanced port collection with very good sales, and is also getting a spin-off. Well, at the very least the word of mouth on DGRP is better in Japan.
And I'm going to buy that spin-off. I mean... who else would refuse to shoot Monokuma?
On the other hand, it's probably better not to compare them. Expectations (especially in games) are the last thing you want to detriment your enjoyment.

When people talk about 999 and VLR I wish I could erase my mind and play them again. Absolutely my favourite stories in any game ever, potentially in any form of media ever actually. They're wonderful games.

Me too. Danganronpa was amazing so an even better game will probably be my GOTY

Off-topic, but do you guys see any real merit in having a wired connection to your PS4 vs a wifi connection?
just wait for them to go ps+ in a month or 2.

Better for streaming video and allows you to remote play directly.
Do games often go free one or two months after release? Let me rephrase that: do games EVER go free one or two months after release?
