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

Wow just finished danganronpa! Damn, it was a good game. It made me feel bad that I waited for a sale before buying the game.

Me too finally. I don't feel ban about getting it on sale since I'll most likely be picking up the second game full price soon.
 
Dat auto renewal. I disabled the option on SEN store where it says "Automatically Add Funds to Renew Subscriptions or Pay for Pre-ordered Content" so I thought I was good.

This month it renewed with funds I already had in my wallet, I didn't know it would do that. I get 3 month subscriptions and I like to know the money in my wallet is there for whatever I feel like, not auto renewals, I can do that myself if I need to...
 
I'm tempted by Monster Monpiece. If I pick it up now, I won't get to play it for a while. How easy will it be to get the online trophies?
 
Why are we discussing Monster Monpiece now? It fell off my radar, but it seems to have come out in May.. is there a sale going on?

Is the game censored in any way?

I'd probably be willing to play online for some trophies, haven't done it myself. Also need people to play with online

Sale in EU;

Monster Monpiece
Was £24.99/€29.99, now £11.99/€14.99
10% additional discount for PS Plus subscribers

They've removed some of the more racy images from the cards, but IMO it's not a big deal.
 
In my defense I don't play a ton of JRPGs or RPGs in general and the main thing that attracts me to P4G is the social link aspect.

I shouldn't list the other games I own on Vita and haven't played. You guys might kick me out.

One thing I never understood, are the images the only thing removed, or is the level 3 card actually missing instead of just duplicating the level 2 art? Not sure why they bothered, not like the game is particularly SFW afterwards
 
I finally started P4G.

I'm an hour and a half in. What even is this game?!

As other people have said, P4G is a bit weird at the start. Honestly, I started and stopped the game like 4 times, getting an hour or two hours in each time and stopping because it felt like I was totally on rails (this was before I knew of GAF, didn't have any voices in my head confirming that the game got good). But boy does it get good, and they payoff is worth it. Totally feels like a different game/extended handholding tutorial/lengthy exposition cutscene for a damn long time though.

The level 3 card is still there, the image just doesn't change from the level 2 card.

Monster Monpiece isn't out in AU?!?

I want some weird Japanese Vita action >_<

I wish there was an Australian equivalent of Yosp down here that I could yell at :(

I wish there was an AU team for Playstation in general, terrible service down here!

I just kind of assumed AU used the EU store entirely. That's a shame.

We're like the basterd child of PAL. Mostly english speaking country who usually has to wait for all the Euro languages to get added/tested into games before getting release here at the same time as EU.

:(

Was hoping to see us join the US release schedule this generation but I guess the supply chains with UK/EU are already in place and they don't want to mess around with it.

It does, but there are still differences noted with checks in the system.

They made it so if they upload a game to the EU server, it goes to EU or AU region, however there's still a "note" somewhere in the code that says only those from EU can download and see it.

They do the same thing with the Canadian store region under the NA heading with the US.
 
Only review of Defense Grid 2 that I've seen so far:

After 14 hours with DG2, I still find better ways to snake the alien's path or prepare in the first waves. With multiple difficulty levels, an easy-to-use cooperative mode, and a level editor, 14 hours could easily turn into 100. It's a great tower defense game and nothing more, but it hooked me in a way that more ambitious games rarely do.

Much more interested now. May bite.
 
They're waiting for the LE Danganronpa and the qt pink otome vita.

It's up YOY though!

Not much released there yet this month;

The 25th has some goodies though.

Considering how there aren't any significant new games right now, and that it's still selling better than last year, I don't really see how it's depressing.

What's depressing is how dead the Vita is at retail in NA.

Doh. I guess that's kinda reassure. The moment I saw it's close to the PS4's number, I just fell into despair.

Don't worry, Criminal Girls Invitation will fulfill all your weird Japanese Vita action needs next year.

I am still hoping we get Criminal Girls 2 with more contents. That's probably the biggest problem with it, as it's quite short.

Criminal Girls 2 isn't that Invitation game? I always have an impression that it's the 2nd game with different name when localized because they didn't bring the first game over.

Still, getting that when it comes out, because why would I be afraid?
 
Man, after playing a bunch of my Wii U the past two weeks (Mega Man X all day), I really wish that every game controller for other systems would also have a TV remote built in. I know it isn't really possible without some of the aspects of the gamepad, but I can dream. I love being able to pick up the gamepad while in bed and know that I have everything I need to turn on the TV, change the input, set the volume and get to playing. My girlfriend has a bad habit of leaving the small black TV remote on our bed with a black comforter, and we lose that damn thing all the time, so the gamepad remote is useful. And it is always charging on the stand on my nightstand.

If only the PS4 controller's light bar was also an IR blaster, and they could map something like "hold down the touch pad and press options to turn TV on and off, hold down the touch pad and press share to change input". Would also be useful for netflix. Wii U is my netflix box just because of TV controls, but the app runs so crappily on Wii U.

These are the minor conveniences I want in life!

Also, does anyone have any experience with PS4 voice commands and how they work with something like netflix? I was considering getting a camera if it meant I could use voice commands for a quick netflix pause.

It's the same game with higher resolution, Live2D animation, and according to gc, "powered up voicework, in all kind of ways".

And apparently due to the replacement touch controls, some punishment became really REALLY easy. For the record, I once spent 3 hours+ finishing one punishment(mini-game) just for one character. And each punishment only lasts a few minutes. That's how hard some of them were. LOL

I'm thinking of finally buying it and postpone Sen no Kiseki II digitally for a while, since my LE edition has already been shipped by AmazonJP to a friend in Japan. I didn't even know that you can order from AmazonJP without a Japanese card. -__-

You're exhausting.

Yeah about 3-5 hours in I was thinking "holy fuck I understand" and proceeded to ruin my sleep pattern.

Same thing happened to me. I only stopped playing it due to school so I'm waiting until the weekend so I can continue :)
---
I'm surprised that my favorite part of P4G so far is the social link gameplay. Are visual novels similar to that?
 
I'm tempted, but I don't really play fighting game on Vita. I'm going to sit out for other folk who can appreciate the game better than me have higher chance getting it then :p.

Yea, that was my thought process here as well. Mostly just glad to see baekshi back, even if he called it a steam key in the initial modbot post! Really awesome thing to do though, makes me want to do a giveaway of some kind at some point.

You're exhausting.

Hey, I just have all these thoughts and opinions, and I need to share them with my VitaGAF (fine, psnGAF) brethren!
 
If anyone from VitaGaf wan'ts to add me please do. Probably missing a few of our regulars. Name on PSN is Snkfanatic

Chilly should add me so he can rage whenever I play SAO :D
 
I got spoiled on probably the biggest plot twist of Danganronpa 2, fuck everything.

This kind of stuff scares me, I still need to finish the game.
I got spoiled on 3 deaths though and that sucked, can't imagine how bad that must feel for you.

I'll add you, Makoto-Hikami on psn

I have no friends since this is my first PSN account ever... lol
 
Blame your classification board. :/ Or maybe IFI cheaped out.

Awesome work, thanks for that!

Our decision to not release Monster Monpiece in Australia was a difficult
one, but it was for reasons relating to government and age rating
submission issues
. If the situation changes and we are able to plan a
release for Australia, we will definitely make an announcement to our fans
Via our website!

Crock of shit. We have the R rating for a reason now. Didn't they change some of the cards for EU already?

They didn't try for classification probably for financial reasons, didn't think it would sell enough to cover the costs to get it rated I bet.

I wish I could give PSN friends nicknames, so I can keep straight people who have different GAF names and PSN names.

This kind of stuff scares me, I still need to finish the game.

I somehow went a long time without being spoiled on DanganRonpa 1, though as was discussed earlier I damn well almost watched the anime before playing because I didn't know the game was coming out. Thank god for too much anime to watch and too little time.
