I've actually been itching to get into the tales series, but the various bad press around this one has scared me off. I'll probably find a copy of vesperia at some point, but it's not high on my priorities.

It'll be my first Tales game too. I probably won't be bothered too much by whatever makes fans of the series consider it a weak entry, if they do.
Getting the physical copy for sure.

Keep in mind that how you got the $100 in your account doesn't matter, all that matters is to SPEND $100 on the US PSN Store by or before the 28th of October.
To be on the safe side, spend a little over $100.
To check how much you've spent so far go to this site, log in and check your transaction history

The PS3 PoP Trilogy runs like ass, you're better off with the PC versions.
Heck I even MADE a thread asking if the PS3 games were worth it and was suggested getting the PC versions.
Grab them off of gog.com when they go on sale, apply the fan mods and fixes, and enjoy the classic.

It is easily my GOTY this year and by far the best game I have played on my Vita (and I own over 85 games for it). As the Vita is supposed to be a "core gamers" console I find it strange that this game haven't been picked up and praised by more people.
You have absolute control in this game as you can simulate how a turn will play out (assigning complex instructions to how both your own and the enemys units will act) before you lock it down and see the resault.
As it is a game that is about carefully planning your next move, the choice to make the multiplayer asynchronous is a no less than briliant move and this means that you can have a lot of MP matches going at the same time.
The posibility to see replays of your own and other peoples matches are an other fantastic detail that I really like.
Even though the game have a fixed narative that gets the job done, the real stories are created by how you play the game and nothing beats the feeling of satisfaction you'll get from the moments where your plan turns out to be as good as you imagined it to be inside your head.
I can't recommend this game enough and it makes me really sad that it seems like not enough people did buy this game (based on PSN ratings).
Edit: If I could only play one game for the rest of my life, this would be it and I hope that enough people have bought it for double eleven to release the expansion.

^Double Eleven's been showing some cool screens on twitter lately, of how the look evolved in development, before they settled on the final style.
Cool studio, worth following imo. I give them props for being such quality work horses on Vita/PSN these last couple of years.

Agreed with the guys above on Frozen Synapse.
Prime is just sublime, totally worth the price and wait.
I've also been playing Warriors Orochi 3 Vita ever since I got it for $5, and I have to say that the game looks and runs better than I expected. The pop-in is pretty bad though, rearing its ugly head especially whenever you're trying to do any musou or special attack that has lots of effects.
You see, the enemies are only interactible when they're rendered, so attacks that would normally hit like 60 people only hit 20. It's my only gripe so far in an otherwise enjoyable experience.
If you guys can get it for like less than $30, I would jump on it. But jump on Frozen Synapse first if you like anything strategy.

Anyone ever have this rear camera problem with the Vita? Getting error C4-14638-2 where the camera shows a black screen. I google'd the problem and it looks like the error dates back to the launch in 2012, some people recommended doing a system restore to fix it and it seemed to temporarily fix it for me, but the error just came back and camera doesn't work again.
Seems like a software issue but I did just get a new Vita slim last month. I'm just barely within the 30 day exchange with GameStop.
Good thing I've been aiming for plat in Hatsune Miku Vita since I wouldn't have noticed the problem. Was trying to do the AR thing and was having problems.

So I am playing Project Diva and get to my first Kaito song, the slightly choralic (?) one, and I dislike the guy and his voice. Got a message that I can visit his room, gave him a flick on his forehead for reasons, he liked it. Weird game.
In all seriousness, the game is pretty great. Well music is subjective, but I can find some tunes I like, so that's okay, the gameplay is pretty tight and unforgiving, coming off Theatrhythm I am used to a more lenient timing window, but I looked for a challenge and found it. While I am not that interested in video editing and character customisation, I had a quick look and there is tons of stuff in terms of options and unlockables. While I was pretty unsure after playing the demo, I can definitely see myself spending quite some time with the game, so thanks VitaGAF for selling me on it.

Any of you guys played Pier Solar and the Great Architects? I just saw it on the PS4 store, 16-bit RPG. Oh god I want it to be good.

Thanks all for the Frozen Synapse impressions. Sounds like it will be $20 well spent!

Couldn't sleep, felt compelled to make this. I'll get a proper screenshot once Content Manager cooperates with me. Goodnight GAF.
I have GOW3 sitting here since forever, I wanted to get the Vita collection and then play 3 but I don't know if it's a good thing to do. I might get burned on the series before even getting to 3.

Pier Solar was VERY hyped here on GAF, and if you like classic jRPGs, you'd be a fool not to get it. Go drop your $15 on it now.

bad gameplay lol
It's not bad at all. The only word of caution I'd really give is that the difficulty curve can be a bit unforgiving, and the game doesn't do a lot to explain some of the systems to you. Like the weapon strength/weakness chart, for instance. You'll have to look at the digital manual that the game has to find that.
Finally beat Spelunky. I've been playing that game for ten months, but between trying to create the Ice Cave passage and Olmec I thought I was never going to do it. Definitely download it if you have Plus!
Lol. I remember getting the combo trophy in the PS3 version thanks to that boss. Lo-Tension status effects for everyone!

They did a great job on PJ Shooter Ultimate, much as I don't care for the art style change personally. Their other PJ ports are solid too. I was apparently the first to find their secret easter egg slipped in PJ ultimate too (you'd know it if you found it)
PS Minecraft has a Journey skin? That's cool
Starting next month, Game of the Month will be brought back in the PSN thread. For those who are unfamiliar, GotM was a section in the old VitaGAF threads in which posters voted for a Vita game to be featured in the OP. I'm thinking we should extend the voting to all Vita/PS4/PS3 games for this thread but limit nominees only to new releases from the previous month so that people don't go crazy nominating PS3 games from 2006.
Any suggestions/preferences on how I should handle the voting? We can either do it by PM, or I can make some sort of survey link.

couldn't you ask a mod for a poll on the thread?
There are too many game releases per month for a poll to be practical, and that would involve me having to bother a mod about it every month. >.>"

Thanks a lot. I'll add $100 to my account tomorrow.
Weird is that Shadow Warrior releases tomorrow but I can't find it in the PS Store.
Oh, and I'll get the $15 back right away or only in the end of October?
I look forward to it, Zero! Will have to think about my vote, hmm..
Also, PM is the way to go, imo.

just completed NepReb. and i only noticed on NG+ that you could control the text speed or skip it with the face buttons XD
now onwards to platinum!
only previous month's games? that would limit it a lot if there are only a few releases during the previous month.

You get the code in november
New us psn content get added to psn whenever grace chen feels like it on tuesdays.
I'll figure out a solution if/when the situation ever arises. October and November are absolutely packed though.

They have the typical (and great) VN style text controls, you can also make it all appear at once which is best for quick skipping stuff you've already read/as soon as you've read each line. Visiting options is usually one of the first things I do.
Oh is NomNom coming over? It's interesting but not really my kinda thing. It's sorta like a Terraria...not quite RTS? Lots of time management in a terraria-like world you can dig around in.
PJ Shooter is amazing, and not especially difficult (though the shmup style bonus level took me a while), I'd be sure to give it a shot.
Yep, got it all sorted out with kassatsu.

Is it still Plus Free? Shit, that changes everything.
Just the Vita version is free, or?

The deal expired a long time ago, if you didn't get it then, you're out of luck. Reminder to always, always claim games.

How many Atelier games are there..?
Its like I find out about a new one every week.

Should we get a game of the month for each platform rather than just 1?

I second this motion.
I don't know, the OP might become too bloated if we do that. The GotM section would take up too much space.

There's like 10 of them, I think. That one's PS3 only so far.
I think so.
Make their imprint on the post smaller, write less and/or less pictures or whatever - it's important to give equal standing to the current platforms IMO
