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

Good to see that Luftrausers is still GOTY material on Vita, hot damn. Love that freaking game. Next TOTP recommendation should be Luftrausers, yo.



I don't see any of your OlliOlli scores, what gives.

Also, Renpatsu is an OlliOlli god, wowowow. Show me your ways, Ren. :o

I am on the PS4 now let me check whats up.
 
Japanese dub all day every day.

I don't really think people who have no interest in Japanese should listen to Japanese dub. If they can't partially understand, then there is no point, really. They will miss a lot of voice reference jokes and the class trial will be a pain in the ass since you need to read quite fast.
 
Why do I have the urge to replay Persona 4 again! Was just thinking about it this morning.

I still have so many stories to go through in Arena though. And so many other games coming out in the next few months to play.

But still that platinum will feel so good. Arena makes me want to play P3 again too.
 
I just realized that the most important news that was supposed to be in Sony's Conference was not there.

Where's my Kantai Collection news?

WHERe.
 
I really wish I had kept my expectations for Danganronpa 2 in check. Is it a good game? Yes. Is it the life-changing experience Danganronpa-GAF hyped it up to be before release? Not by a long shot. I feel like it has taken a few steps back from what I enjoyed about the first game.
 
Coconut Dodge and Fuel Tiracas I guess? I'd hardly call those bad though

I was kind of meh at Surge Deluxe when I first saw it, but it's pretty good.

I'd never talk smack about Coconut Dodge. It's not amazing but I quite enjoyed it. Nah, it's Surge Deluxe that I'm really not a fan of. And Fuel Tiricas obviously. I gave the PS Mobile Surge a go a while back and hated it then, but I figured I'd give Deluxe another shot when it hit PS Plus. I still hated it. To be fair though Surge probably isn't so much a bad game but a game that just isn't for me.
 
Honestly, I don't know why but I don't care about Destiny at all. And I should care, so much of it seems like it would be for me. I was heavily into MMOs back in college when I had more time, and I love MMO systems and loot progression. I adored Borderlands 2, FPS with co-op and loot was tons of fun. And I played a ton of Halo 2 and 3 back in the day. But I played some of the Destiny beta and I just.. didn't really care for it. I liked the individual parts but the whole didn't grab me. I guess just not the type of game I want to play right now.

Which is kind of nice, since it saves me money! Also, I doubt I would even be able to play it here with my stupid med school internet since it is online only. I played the beta when I was home, so I have no idea if it would run here at all.

Oh well, I hope everyone looking forward to it enjoys the hell out of it.
 
I tried and miserably failed to repair my Vita myself (seems the problem is not the stick after all) so, given that Sony won't help, I'm temporarily out of VitaGaf :( Will totally get a new one when I can afford it, though - this time from somewhere in Europe :P shame about the spiffy white/green shell.

Were you the guy who was having issues with phantom controls? (you thought your analog was going left/right?)

If so, last ditch option since you're out of warranty and such; put it back together, put your hands on it like you're about to play, squeeze the plastic (not the buttons or analog) and twist just slightly (don't snap your Vita in half) - pressing forward with one hand then twisting back towards you.

The vita will creak and pop a little, which is okay - just don't force it, twist ONLY SLIGHTLY. This should loosen the way the innards sit and might stop your issue if it's something contact related.

I know it sounds like a bad idea, but since it's your last ditch effort it can't hurt - and I used this same method to fix phantom touchscreen presses on two other Vitas.
 
Glad I was able to help :). Do yourself a favor and check out the thread for this game, as you will find lots of helpful information in the OP and throughout the thread :). People there are very nice and frequently answer questions about the game, so check it out if you need any more help.

Also keep in mind that the games difficulty is a bit....off. It isn't hard (far from it) but it can get challenging if you don't manage your Alicard Floor Clearing and Hallow Area exploration. I recommend beating the first Floor boss (shouldn't be that hard, just try to level up 1-2 levels and get stronger swords/upgrade your swords before the fight) then explore the Hallow Area for quite some time (at least until you find two really powerful swords). Remember about the Buffs in my other post and the commands to your partner; skillful use of the game's mechanics can make high level foes a cake walk to fight :D.

Alicard is also very easy compared to the Hallow Area, so don't worry about dying much there (try to complete all the Boss-require quests first though; makes exploration of the floors much less tedious).

Lastly, there are a few things to talk about.

Firstly, a very easy way to level up yourself and your party is visiting the MP Area or forming a MP Party when exploring the Hallow Area. You set this up by going to the Command Room (which you should get after going back to Alicard) with a party member (any would be good, though pick the one with the highest level) and when in the menu, select MP mode. Select the characters you want to bring with you then you will go back to the Command Room. Click it again and you can either go to a new Area (which has 100+ floors and is randomly-generated) or just explore the Hallow Area normally.

Either option is solid and when you get this skill, ALWAYS use the EXP Buff (gives you more EXP for the whole party for a while) and then you and your party will rank up the levels in no time XD!

Speaking of the command room, there are 'implements' you can use during Hallow Missions. You first have to select one to use, and if give you a requirement to fulfill (use X number of Skills, use X number of Burst Attacks aka Circle attacks, ect). Once you complete them, you get perminte buffs and (I guess?) 'cheats' you can use during Hallow Missions.

Lastly, there are the 'dating' options. I barely tried this at all (due to finding them stupid and pointless, considering this series cannon :l), but you have the option to....'sleep' with your female party members. Through a tedious and stupid mini game that has you talk (it isn't even that, it is just Kirtio just saying "Indeed" and "Good" at the right time), you then get there emotion levels to level 5, then you bridal carry them to your bed (I think?), and have another talk. Complete it and then the scene plays. I believe there are three unique scenes for each party member and it increases there Relationship level with you (which is useful, as you can give them armor when there level is high enough).
Thanks again, i'll take these infos into account :D

No problem :D. I love the game, so just talking about it is great :).

Also, I made a mistake in that post. You can only trigger the 'bed' scenes if your party member's emotion level is 7 (I think it is called 'Lost'). Once you get to level 5, enable the 'bridal carry', go down to the shop and then go back to your room. Keep doing this until you reach level 7, then go to the bed to talk with the party member. You have another talk, then the scene happens.

Hope this helps and that your really enjoy the game :D. Once it clicks.....you will be linked to it for quite a while XD!

If you have any other questions on the game, ask me or anyone on the game's OT page :D.
 
This probably isn't the right place to post this, but I didn't want to make a new thread.

If I'm planning on trading in my PS3, what do I need to do beforehand?

Just deactivate the console and reformat? Anything else?

Nope, that's pretty much it. As long as it's deactivated your content is unavailable (and you get the activation slot back), and then when you format it gets rid of your data off the system.

No data and no available way to access your content = fresh system state.

That said, if it's dirty a surface cleaning goes a long way. ;)

I never traded in a modern system but I think what you need to do is this:
-Restore your PS3 completely (wipe the hard-drive)
-Remove your PSN account from the console (just log out and let the restore process take place)
-Remove the PS3 off your 'activated' consoles list
-Make sure no disks or anything is inside the console
-Have all the cables and stuff with the system when traded

While some are obvious, I think this is all you need to do :). I hope this helps :D.

Nothing to lose, so will try that :) Thank you!
 
Hope this is the right place to ask this~~

Which do you recommend?

PvZ: Garden Warfare or Minecraft + eitther Octodad, Flower or The Swapper.

I've been gifted a $50 psn card and due to some really weird prices for my region, this is the only combination that could. Cheers in advance.

If you enjoy online MP games, PvZ is excellent.
Very refreshing MP experience. I've put a ton of hours into it since I bought it which is surprising to me.

PvZ: Garden Warfare is fun

Throw in flower for the ultimate flower simulator

Don't care for Minecraft as I played that for like 30 mins and found it very very very boring and don't know about the swapper
 
Every time I read a post by Baekshi I subconsciously put "in my opinion" at the end of every sentence. Makes his posts a lot less incendiary that way, but instead made up of opinions that I occasionally agree with and occasionally disagree with. At least the guy knows what he likes, even if that is creepy dudes dancing with hallucinations of themselves to anime style idols.
 
Well, I was leaning towards Flower and your posts managed to convince me. I'm picking PvZ and Flower, shelling out the difference from my own pocket. If Flower gives me half the feels of Journey then it will most certainly be worth it.

Cheers all. :)

Flower is indeed awesome. However, almost nothing (personally) comes close to the feels from Journey. That game is a masterpiece.

that (improved -NOT) hangman's gambit really kills the pacing of the trials. though the rebuttal and consent are actually good. the game is harder compared to the first on normal difficulty.
 
So I just got Injustice for the VITA. Finally!

Next step in some time from now will be Killzone Mercenaries and MGS HD Collection. Which console is the one without games? I keep forgeting.
 
ALmost non-existant in the first game except a "Spa" scene that you can get in Chapter 3 but it's a bit of a secret to get so alot don't end up getting it, since you have to have a certain item in your inventory to trigger it. First game isn't bad about it at all so don't really worry. The second has just been kinda throwing it out there though, and I'm only on chapter 2 haha.

That's good to hear, thanks for the confirmation. It sucks that 2 is throwing it out there, that just makes me not want to bother with it. DR1 will need to be amazing for me to consider 2 and dealing with it.
