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

Yes, you should.

I really really resisted playing this game. I like some visual novels but most of the time the pace is just too slow. Danganronpa has a pace that is really fast, and has a great script and story. It is the first game in a long time that requires reading and attention (aka, not diablo or something) that I just played pretty much non-stop from start to finish.

Well, I guess when I have funds and maybe when the price drops a bit I'll be picking this up. It's jumped up my list!
 
I wanted to buy Yakuza 4 but apparently the game is rare in NA. Since the ps3 is not region locked I shouldn't have a problem buying it from Europe, right?

Correct =)
IIRC there is free dlc for the game which you can get off EU PSN too.
 
It's a very decent DRPG, made by the same folk who did the Class of Heroes games.

Ohhh I loved Class of Heroes, might have to give this a shot. Don't know if I should wait for the PC version or just get it on the Vita now though. Also what's a DRPG? (Dungeon RPG) If that's the case then I'm sold, huge fan of dungeon crawlers.

It's a good game, but I'm not talking about it on the dedicated Steam topic. People are entitled to their own opinions, but I know a couple of people there that will wear me down trying to convince everybody the game is a piece of shit.

Seems like everyone has been excited for it so far there as well. This and Class of Heroes actually has me pretty excited, and now I don't know whether to get it portable on my Vita or hopefully wait to play it in Full Screen. CoH looks like a game I would love to have on me at all times though so I may go portable on taht one.

If you want to give Gamestop your business, it's not too hard to find a copy. All three of the PS3 games run about $10-15 a piece and they can probably have a copy shipped to your door.
 
What abilities can you recommend for armor? Auto-haste, auto-protect, auto-phoenix, auto-potion?

Ditch auto-potion, it's pretty much useless. Ribbon is good, albeit tedious to farm the materials for it.

Break HP limit is so-so. As long as you have Auto-haste and Auto-protect you're good to go. When I didn't have enough for a Ribbon I just opted for Stoneproof.

Honestly, if you can find it for a good price, get it for the Vita. DRPG is a term, more used by developer Experience, to descrive RPGs that are also first-person dungeon-crawlers.
 
Joe Danger on PS Vita seems to be a solid conversion, but I'm rather annoyed at how frequently the game crashes. In fact, there's one particular level that I've been replaying (in order to obtain additional stars), and every single time it tallies up the scores, the game bombs out with an error. It's done this at least four or five times so far.

This game crashes even more than OlliOlli used to a few months back (before it was patched). It's incredibly frustrating.

Has anyone else here been experiencing these problems with Joe Danger? At this point, I'm on the verge of giving up on the game until they've addressed this with an update.

The aspect ratio was hurting my brain for a while and put me off it after enjoying the first few levels. Feel really odd to me for some reason.

Thanks. I didn't think of Gamestop since EB doesn't have stock, but I think I'll go with the pal version since it's supposedly new and about the same price as used with Gamestop.

What would you think is the better game to play first out of Mind0 and Class of Heroes? Got 53$ worth of PSN credit and have no clue what to spend it on for after Danganronpa 2. Started looking at Neptunia Rebirth01 and have never played the series before and got mixed opinions, as well as looked at Disgaea 4, but I'm not sure I have the time these days to seriously play a Disgaea game :(. Well that's 4 games to choose from, this decision for my next game is gonna be a tough one haha.

Honestly, I didn't like either first or second Class of Heroes. I'd only go for Mind=Zero if you can find it for less than the MSRP. Wait for a sale or PS+. From both Neptunia and Disgaea 4, I'd go for Neptunia, myself.
 
Any other PS3 Minecraft disc owners having problems seeing the $5 PS4 upgrade?

Sounds like it's hit and miss. I never even opened my copy since I wanted to wait for the PS4 version, giving it a try tonight.

Might have to try syncing trophies and even have it running on PS3 and check the webstore to see if the upgrade is up on there for you.
 
What abilities can you recommend for armor? Auto-haste, auto-protect, auto-phoenix, auto-potion?

Auto haste is great, blocks Slow too. Auto potion kinda sucks, and you have to ditch all high potions and potions and farm for X potions for it to be useful; auto-pheonix is better. Protect is very useful since a lot of Monster Arena bosses have strong physical attacks. Ribbon is amazing, but IIRC astronomically difficult to farm for. But you get materials for one free at the monster arena.
 
PS All-Stars isn't bad. It's definitely not smash but it's sometimes fun playing as Kratos and just juggling the AI in the corner and charging up for my level 3 super.
 
The next few weeks are going to be crazy for me, I'm already juggling 4 Vita games currently with Velocity2X, Don't Starve, SAO and Disgaea 4 but will also get Destiny next week and play that with a few friends.
 
I need ALL the online trophies in PSAS:BR damnit (and I don't have it installed). :(
They're easy peasy. Don't sweat it. Even this last one, I don't need to win. Just play with a friend.

I'm ploughing through for an easy Platinum. It's fun, in a totally brainless, shitty kind of way.
 
Back on my kick for a 64gb memory card. Any chance any fellow gaffers want to buy my 32gb. Would definitely help push me over if I knew I had the other one sold.

Auto-Protect > Break HP Limit for Monster Arena Killer
Auto-Phoenix for Don Tonberry Grinding
Auto-Haste for your main 3 and no more. Otherwise, grinding gets really hard because of reasons.
Ribbon. Go kill Yojimbo a few times. Get them for your main 3 at least.

Addendum: kill him 4 times, save, then reboot
 
I didn't know Joe Danger was so prone to crashing. But I probably never noticed because I keep my Vita at airplane mode at almost all times.

Does charging the Vita when it has 1 green bar at seldom occassions takes its toll on the battery faster?
 
I just love Amazon.ca's logic. Pre-ordered DanganRonpa 2 months ago yet it's still stuck at "preparing for shipment". Ordered Akiba's Trip and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;birth like two days ago and I got them today.

At least I'll have Akiba's Trip to play over the week-end but man, I want to play DR2 so bad. :(

Complain at them. They upgraded my order to UPS express shipping, and it should be arriving tomorrow. Give it a shot.
 
Since the IGN list is shit, maybe VitaGAF should make one?

But it will include Persona 4 Golden, Danganronpa, Neptunia, SAO, and the mass will say it's all anime shits.

Now I reach halfway through chapter 3 of DR2, and I need something else to distract me. Shit hits me too hard. Any cute little game would you guys recommend?
 
?

The PS4 Library (which replaces the download list) only contains content that can be played on PS4. As well, while the Library doesn't have the best UI, it's worth noting that DLC isn't listed the same way it is on PS3/Vita. Instead of putting everything in a vertical list, you click on a game's "page" in the Library and it will show all of the DLC you own. Makes it so much easier than scrolling through a lengthy download list.

So when you go into "download history" on PS4 it's PS4 Library and it's ONLY PS4 compatible content? Sweet.

God I wish Vita was like that.

It was a really good case though, are you playing on Mean?

I just got to the trial portion of chapter 4 tonight, but now it is pretty much time for me to call it a night. I guess it gets easier to guess who did it when there are less people, but I am really looking forward to these last trials/cases.

I wish Sony just got their shit together and had a better download list.

It's one of my stealth favorite PS4 features. "download list" is suffering. Also best I can tell PS4 auto-downloads DLC you have the rights to.

Could be worth a shot but it's already pretty late so I think I'd still be getting it next week anyway. I'm not sure what grounds I would have for complaining, though. The estimated delivery window is the end of next week so technically it's not late. It just doesn't usually take that long to go through. Disgaea 4 had a similarly long estimate but I still got it within a few days.

I guess that's what I get for being cheap and choosing free shipping. :/ What sucks is I just got a free Prime trial through their university student promo, so I now have access to free 2 day shipping. I tried getting them to upgrade my old pre-orders but they refused because they were placed before the start of the trial. And I can't just cancel and re-order because they had a promo on pre-orders around E3 and I ended up getting pretty good discounts on D4, DR2 and Ultimax.

It's still not that great. There are no sorting options, so my PS4 Library is already becoming a random mess of apps, demos, and games.

You and me both. We all know we need carts, filters (game/DLC/demos), search, organization options (alphabetical, purchase/release date etc)... I see people say it all the time, it's not just us.

Oh man that is SO good. There's a few games I have a ton of DLC for... like Zen Pinball 2, which adds PS3 and PSV to your download history, and each entry is actually two entries: the "demo" table and the unlock key. So reinstalling everything fresh one time was a real chore.

As an uber hardcore LBP'r nothing compares to LBP DLC, though... when I got LBPV, it must have taken me an hour or so to manually download and install all the costume DLC that transferred from LBP1&2. Then, when I corrupted my save in the first week I had to do it again (along with 100%'ing story mode AGAIN)... ugh

Auto-download for any games DLC sounds like heaven, especially with LBP3 coming up.


oops... meant to say 360, not PS4 ;)
 
It's. Finally. Over.

After almost a year, I have finally platinum'ed Rayman Legends.
The save was promptly backed up to the PS+ cloud and the game was swiftly deleted. 1.3gb back on my card.

Good riddence.

I got auto-haste and protect on my main 3 right now. Good thing I haven't put the auto-potion. I guess I'll go with the auto-phoenix for my 3rd one. For the 4th one, I'll go with Ribbon but it seems like it is hard to get one lol
 
Yeah if I do a story mode per day over the course of the month and then dabble in online a little on the weekends I'm sure I'll be close to plat. I'm fiending for smash and it's sort of hitting that itch in terms of mindless party/fighting stuff. Of all the things in this game that are similar to smash, the one I miss the most is KOing by knocking off the stage. Game would have gone from 6/10 to 8/10 in a heartbeat.

Playing for 30-40 minutes per day keeps the game fresh and keeps me from really getting bored. Works well too because during the week I don't have that much time.

Oh yeah, I know it isn't just us. I just don't see/believe Sony is doing anything. I'm not going to pretend I know how hard/easy it would be to implement something like this, I just want to see it happen.
