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

Got my tonsils taken today, currently at the hospital. Might go with SAO:HF, SSD and TW101 for the games to play during my one-week recovery.

TOTP: Buy Ys: Memories of Celceta.
 
I find this funny for some reason. People couldn't see the giant "3" in PS3?



I am. I know it's been getting mixed reception, but Amazon's E3 deal was too good to resist.

Why would people even look for the giant 3? We've had the black label since 2009. Last year we got Blue boxes with the PS4. Of course people would think those blue boxes would be PS4 games when we've been seeing nothing but black labels for PS3 for the past 5 years
 
Good luck on your recovery.

Thank you, killatopak.

hey animegaf people, sekai project will run a kickstarter for some visual novel called grinsia (looking at the art on the page, don't google that) with potentially a ps vita goal at $250k: http://prefundia.com/projects/view/lets-bring-the-grisaia-trilogy-to-the-west/2814/

dunno if $250k worth of people care about that

That's too much and they still haven't proved if they can do it with WEE.

Grisaia is something everyone should be playing, but I already played the heck out of it on PC. One of the several hentai games that I would recommend to others just because the writing is so good. Even with only Grisaia no Kajitsu is enough, since that's the one gave its the fame.

Not sure how would the non-adult version work, though. The sex parts tie a lot to the story.

Is there a translation patch for that? Also how much for a copy?

Maybe they'll do it the way Fate/Stay Night did. I mean the sex part was also integral to the story there but they managed to get away with it.

There is an English patch, and it's quite good. You could google the key words "Grisaia no Kajitsu English Patch", and find the link start with "eroge". I can't link it since the site also provides download link for the game. The translation group is also working on Chiru Chiru game. You could pass on the prequel. It's only give you a story about our main char's background and I think you could get a grasp what was his life just in the Kajitsu game.

I will admit that I didn't get the game legally since I couldn't find anywhere that sells it online. The only way you could buy it is go to Japan as far as I know.

It's not as simple as the case of F/SN, imo. It defines a whole character's route (her behavior, her motive). While I'm interested in seeing how they are doing it, I don't hold my hope up much, though.
 
Uh, Grisaia is also airing every week on Sundays, it started last week. It looked like your average harem show until the end of the episode. It looks pretty cool, not gonna lie, I didn't know that it was based off a VN series.

Thanks. I'll just wait for them to translate the game for some time. Otherwise, I'll pray to God to allow me to visit Japan.
Or I'll just download it illegally if I can't.

I've played the first one on the PC fan-translated, really great VN.
I would love to see the other 2 games come here/get vita releases.

Not sure how would the non-adult version work, though. The sex parts tie a lot to the story.

They'll probably do what they did with the Vita version in Japan. Not sure what they did about the sex but other non-explicit mature scenes were kept in and just modified. Like when
Amane is changing in Yuuji's room, they just put a bra on her instead of having her nude.
 
The translation of Chiru Chiru game is coming, although it's only 50% currently.

Well, the characters' interaction is what drew me in the beginning. I also don't watch the anime since I was worrying it could ruin my impression with the series. Based on the game I would expect they can't reproduce the magic of the game in anime medium, since the prologue only made me spent 3 hours of reading. It's also better you follow the fixed route order due to how the story is structured as a train. For better illustration, it goes like this:

Your choice at the split will be the critical point to trigger the route. It makes sense to just follow the right order.

Also, anyone who likes Full Metal Panic's main character will probably like Yuuji, since he's also a militaryfag, just with a bit more common sense, lol.
 
What deal?

Amazon Canada had a deal where if you preorder three or more games you get 10% off each game. Most games were already discounted to begin with, so I got stuff like Neptunia Re;Birth1 for $27.

Why would people even look for the giant 3? We've had the black label since 2009. Last year we got Blue boxes with the PS4. Of course people would think those blue boxes would be PS4 games when we've been seeing nothing but black labels for PS3 for the past 5 years

Don't sass me, Flandy.

*goes back to sleep*
 
Just had to update Killzone Mercenary for PSTV compatability.
Is there a list of what games will be updated so I can do them quick and easy?
instead of being surprised when I want to play them on my Vita?

Killzone the only one?
 
The clicky, looseness in my L stick on my Vita is really starting to annoy me now. It started about 2 months ago, but I'm really only noticing it replaying Rayman Legends here again... it's making some precision moves in the mosquito shmup levels completely impossible. I'm not nitpicky and I can do this shit in my sleep normally, so believe me when I say it's a legit problem.

I really don't want (and can't really fit it into budget) to have to replace my Vita, now or any time in the near future.

blah, just venting to my Vita bros.
 
I'll be getting Freedom Wars simply because I feel like I should at this point. All the negative impressions from Japan really deflated my hype though. Maybe since my expectations are low I'll be pleasantly surprised!
 
2000Y of digital cards, and I finally picked up Wizardry: Town of Forsaken Spirits,so some quick thoughts.

The game is even more bare-bones than LoLS, possibly because of the 'scenario' thing it has going. I assumed it was because I had been playing a demo for all this time, but nope. The full game is still pretty thin.

There's the same great monster and character art, but towns literally just have one NPC, as far as I can tell: Elizabeth.

tofs.png


She's fully voice acted, which is nice, but if you came hoping for a town full of colorful NPCs like the first game(or at least more than one), not in this land.

The dungeons definitely seem more fleshed out and brutal, so there's that.

I'll share some images of my party later.
 
Got my tonsils taken today, currently at the hospital. Might go with SAO:HF, SSD and TW101 for the games to play during my one-week recovery.
No luck wishes here, You'll recover in a short time. Believe!

This is one of my favorite VNs to read. I'll support it whether it comes to Steam and / to the Vita. Hell, I would seriously double dip if this happens. Where else would
I get a story about completely mentally unstable females on the Vita?
Or I'll just download it illegally if I can't.
I'll hunt you J, if you do that. LOL
 
BASED SONTY!
I got my VLR retail copy just a few hours ago and the save data for the digital ver. WORKS with the retail ver.!

...but my copy of SART came WITHOUT a box! What they hey amazon!
 
Bought EDF 2017. Let's see what all the fuss is about...

So is anyone getting freedom wars?

I am planning to. I supported the whole "we want a physical release for FW in Europe" movement so even though my hype was a bit deflated by some negative impressions I feel obligated to buy it now :P Looking forward to play it with fellow Vita-Gaffers!
 
I am, together with 2 of my friends. The negative doesn't affect me much, and I quite like the art direction of the game.

I'll be getting it as well. I need more co-op games in my life LOL. I'm going through a phase in which anything with loot, grinding and shooting/killing countless mobs just feels good. I blame it on the midterms stress.
 
Get well my friend :)

Thanks Midas!

Almost makes me want to take my tonsils out. Almost.

I did it because I had to, but I'll make the most out of this situation.

No luck wishes here, You'll recover in a short time. Believe!

I hope so, I'm feeling a bit better today.

No life&hometown?

A steady recovery for you, chap!

If only the game came out sooner, sure. Maybe I'll take the chance to play the Hebijo side before SV.
 
Get well soon Shiz, had a coworker that had to do the same a few months back, and it didn't seem like fun at all. Focus on recuperating. And clearing dat backlog as you are it aha.
 
Has Sony lifted the 1GB cap on cloud saves? I noticed today that my saved data is taking up >1150MB but everything still seems to be auto-uploading fine.
 
Well I beat Danganronpa 2. So that was pretty underwhelming. A definite step down from the first game in almost every way. It didn't answer all the questions from the first game and instead raised new ones so that was pretty unsatisfying. The cast was significantly worse and they somehow managed to make the minigames even more awful than they were before. I mean it was still enjoyable and had its moments but yeah a definite step down from the first game and just very underwhelming overall.

Well, I don't want to be THAT guy ^

I enjoyed the hell out of it and felt that the ride was better, it was necessarily about the questions answered or the destination.

TOTP: Buy Ys: Memories of Celceta.

Hope you recover quickly. :)

I felt that way until the endgame. The endgame resolved a lot of stuff I wanted resolved, and brought lots to the table. I loved the surprises, and especially those Masafumi Takada beats. The characters were good, too. (No one I really LOATHED like 1's otaku guy.)

It's still inferior to the original, but also enjoyable.

If anything, I felt it got too depressing at times. Goodbye Despair, my foot.
 
IMO DR2>DR1.
Liked the cast of 2 a lot more than 1, and in a way I kinda liked the puzzles/minigames.

I did too, but they were still very jarring. The original's felt like they made more sense.

Of course, it could be since that in 2(major spoilers)
it's a virtual world, so the sky's the limit. Thanks, Junko!

I can't be the only one who called that in the first few minutes. It was very telegraphed.

The rest, I never saw coming.
 
Anyone having issues downloading stuff on PS4? PS3 and Vita working fine, connection tests on PS4 same, just downloads giving me NW-31247-7 errors all week.

Sounds like a DNS issue change your DNS to google and see if it works.

when configuring your internet connection go to settings>network>set up internet connections> wi-fi/LAN Cable > custom > Normal settings untill you get to DNS Settings then press manual and set the primary to 8.8.8.8 and secondary to 8.8.4.4 (Google's Public DNS server) and finish the configuration. this worked no problem for me and let me sign in like normal.

1. On your PS4, go to settings > network > set up internet connection > wi-fi/LAN Cable > custom

You'll be prompted a series of questions about how your connection should be set up on your PS4.

2. Just keep accepting the highlighted/current setting on each screen, UNTIL you see "DNS".

3. At that point, select "Manual", and you will see your current DNS addresses.

For some reason, they have been dropped by the system, and are both set to 0.0.0.0 (at least, that was the case for me).

4. Manually enter ANY TWO of the following addresses into the two DNS address fields - In any order you like:

8.8.8.8 (Google's Public DNS server 1)
8.8.4.4 (Google's Public DNS server 2)
208.67.220.220 (Open DNS server 1)
208.67.222.222 (Open DNS server 2)

5. Accept the changes and go through the rest of the settings, again accepting whatever is highlighted/currently selected.

I've downloaded several games onto my Vita this afternoon, granted they were already in my download queue. The store wasn't working for me on my PS4 though.
 
Well folks, yesterday I took the plunge and purchased a vita. Got a nice deal of eBay that came with an 8gb card and dw8, killzone mercenary, soulsac, toukiden, and a few others for extremely cheap. It should be here by Tuesday or Wednesday, I'm super excited!

Congrats! Now get Persona 4 Golden, PS+, and a much bigger memory card.
