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

Is there a solution to downloads pausing when Vita goes into Standby? Seems to just randomly decide to do so. Disable Wi-Fi in power saving isn't on. Downloading a gig takes forever when this keeps happening!
 
That's the old bug which occasionally happens, and look like they haven't ironed out it yet. Just try your best to keep your Vita not going to standby when you're downloading.

I know I don't need anymore games, but how are the DR games? You and everyone else are saying DR 1 and 2 are very solid games that are Phenox Wright + Persona + Zero Escape in terms of gameplay styles (PW's cases, Persona's social interactions and ZE's VN-esc look/feel). I never played PW and only played a little of ZE:VLR, so would you guys recommend DR 1 and 2?

You guys recommended me lots of great stuff (the Persona series and SAO:HF), so I know the Gaf hype is real :D.

I'd recommend both DR1 and 2, even if you have no prior experience to the genre. The core gameplay isn't that hard in DR1, albeit confusing at some part for newcomer (I haven't finished 2, so I can't say, but from what I've played, it's improved but isn't less confusing). The main charm, as usual, is how the story is told and the characters. It utilizes the popular game "Rabbit Doubt" where you don't know who you could trust and who will betray you, while make you attach to the characters with the storytelling/social link parts of the game.

Regarding why people consider DR2 is better than DR1 not only because the cast/story pacing but also how it presents the case. I'd say DR1 is at "entry" level, since halfway through the cases you could vaguely guess the method, the outcome or the murderer. In DR2, until the class trial, everything is still confusing with all the clues I gathered that I can't string it together in my head what's happened and how. I finally feel like it's a true "debate" since everyone presents their opinion and perspective in the trial, and throughout the course thing is starting to make sense. That's only the first chapter, I told ya.

I've unchecked the "wifi in power save mode", and kept the Vita charging while I'm sleeping. I've finished downloading Atelier Totori + PSABR + SS + Pixeljunk that way.

It seems to be tied to the auto standby time. I timed 10 minutes and it stopped, i then changed the auto time to 30 minutes and after 10 mins it didn't stop. Might be luck. Will keep trying.
 
Are either of the Harvest Moon games which are on sale worth getting?

Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley £3.59/€4.49 (10% additional PS Plus discount)
Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon £2.39/€2.99 (10% additional PS Plus discount)

There's also:
Farming Classics Collection £3.29/€4.49 (10% additional PS Plus discount)

Which seems to include both for the same price as Leaf valley alone.

It can help to just put a blank MP3 file on your Vita and play it on loop.

You can then put your Vita manually on standby and the download should continue.

Well dont get any of those two. Innocent Life is shit and Harvest Moon is the lesser evil. But both are not worth getting.

I still just set a slideshow running in the photo gallery. Not a very elegant solution, but it works!
 
Seconded. Although prepare to long for the third game after this though.

That reminds me...

I couldn't get this game off my mind back then, then I played Time Travelers.

I know most people won't like TT that much, but I liked it so much that it got me off the Extreme Escape (Zero Escape). By the end of it, I was wrapping myself about the time travel stuff, debating myself about what I think are loopholes and answers to those loopholes.

P.S. If you are a Sawashiro Miyuki fan, then I'm here to tell you that this is her masterpiece. THE masterpiece as far as I have seen of her performances.

P.P.S. Don't watch any of the trailers. It's too "spoiler-y". It's just far better to go in without knowing anything. You can play the demo to see what it is like.

P.P.P.S. If ever got to play this, do not do the TT Phone thing. It is not worth your time.

Ive just turned off auto standby and plugged it in. Can't believe a bug this old still exists.... Vita needs some PS4 stability!
 
Showed up free for me on the info page too so they must be fixing it.

Danganronpa 2, Don't Starve and a shit tonne of SAO:HF DLC all in one night... it's going to be a busy next few days.

You can't actually turn off auto-standby though, right? Though, now that I look, it seems like they added more time options at some point... I think 10 minutes used to be the maximum, and now it's 30. When did this happen?

It doesn't wobble when you push it, though, unlike the PS4.

The 4th DLC of Muramasa is great. It's pretty light hearted so far. Perfect to get a break of my mind in between Danganronpa's chapters.
 
My Danganronpa 2 pre-order on amazon.ca is still stuck at "Preparing for shipment" since yesterday. Anybody else? Has NISA commented on known delays?
 
Such a good month for PS+. :O Can't wait to download everything later (TxK + Velocity hype!). I 100% Joe Danger on XBLA, great game.

Oh, also someone posted this in the GB thread:

Any significance to this? If so I take full credit as I posted about Vib Ribbon just two days ago in this thread!

Edit: Oh, I just saw this got its own thread. HYPE
 
Did they mess up Olliolli's crossbuy? Not that I'd play it on anything that isn't a Vita, but still.


Also, I'm torn about buying Beats Slider. I want to complete my Futurlab collection (except Surge PSMobile and Coconut Minis) and it seems good but PSMobile ewwww
 
Argh
Danganronpa 2 is on EU PSN early! But it's £35 whereas it's £30 on game.co.uk... god damn Sony and their digital pricing!
 
Man, the presentation in Danganronpa 2 is even better than the first. Seems to be a whole lot more to do in this one as well, judging from the first 15 minutes or so.
 
yay eu danganronpa sale

should be a good change of pace from velocity 2x and TvK.

also is the single player of playstation allstars vita worth playing? i like smash bros

THE LIST WAS ACTUALLY BEING BUILT.

BUILD IT INTO THE VITA FIRMWARE

I think the core gameplay is kinda bad.

Just realize Neptunia U was released in Japan recently. Any folk played that game? I'd love to have some impression about how import friendly it is. I can read Japanese fine if it's just some simple conversation, but when it goes to stuff like crafting materials or complicated skill set like those effect from Yugioh, I'm kinda lost.
 
Just got don't starve giant edition on vita free. I guess its because I got don't starve console edition free on ps4 through PS+. However I never got the giants dlc for it but vita version includes that anyway.

I was assuming you would need the giants dlc to take advantage of the cross buy but I guess not.
 
I second the call for Neptunia U impressions. This or Hyrule Warriors is probably going to be my first Musou game. I hope it at least has flashy skills since the gameplay just looks...musou.

You have to super to kill, which is like the single worst thing they could have done. I'll try it myself, but urg why would they do that.
