Merry Christmas!

Japanese Vita owners, I am one of us. Add me to your friends list: CheesemeisterJP. My US account is Cheesemeister, but I'm not in a big hurry to factory reset.
Are you sure there's no typo in there? Tried entering it 2 times and got "ID not found" error. Anyway add me - Niiro-Matsuki
 
Ok so...
Hot Shots Golf. I want to play online. I clicked "Online"...
Game: You need an online ticket, homie.
Me: This thing that says "Online Ticket" in my box insert? Gotcha.
Game: K, enter it at the PSN Store.
Me: Will do.
*Opens PSN Store*
*Hits Ellipses, which brings up the menu "Enter Online Play Ticket Code*
*Does*
PSN: So you wanna play Hot Shots Golf 6 Online?
Me: Yep :D
PSN: Cool, here.
Me: *Opens game again, selects Online Play*
Game: You need an online ticket, homie.
Me: I went to the store and I...I did that though?
Game: You need an online ticket, homie.
Me: >:(
*Back to the PSN store, enters in same code*
PSN: Code's been used, buddy. Wanna buy one for 900 yen?
Me: Ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

So what just happened? I punched in my code at what seemed like the right place. Game is cockblocking me, PSN is pretending nothing ever happened.

What I am noticing is that before, I didn't even see the option to BUY a new code. So was my code (brand new copy mind you) just like...a code to buy a new code? That surely can't be a thing.

You downloaded the pass? If not, it should be in your download history or something. Only thing I can think of.
 
Damn the OLED screen is really vibrant. Only the Samsung Galaxy S 2 screen comes close to it.

Hmm every time i start up uncharted, there a messge saying that network features are disabled? Is there anyway to get the wifi to be on while I play uncharted?

Don't think so - it's the same when playing Lord of Apocalypse.
Wasn't Lord of Apocalypse released on PSP too? What are the differences between the two versions?
The only difference is the graphics and the touch features. Touching your teammates heals all the negative statues (this came out bad) and you can pick items this way.
 
Whee, first post from the Vita...

So this thing about resetting the cartridge to earn trophies on another account, is that true for every game or just the ones that save to the cartridge? Where is the reset option? I just took a quick look with Uncharted, but didn't see it...

Exit game. Close it. Restart.
 
Yes definitely, the exact same thing. Luckily my black blotches are to the side of the screen and not in the center... Does indeed seem to be an issue with OLED screens. While it's a bummer, its really not noticeable unless you are sitting in a pitch black room and quite a large portion of the screen goes all black for a little while (so your eyes can adapt to the darkness)

It's kinda annoying to know it's there though, so I hope it's not a very widespread issue...

Holy shit I have the same problem too. I thought it was just me being an idiot and not putting my screen protector on properly thus generating air bubbles.
 
Yeah I have big black blots when the screen goes dark in a dim room, it doesn't bother me though because it doesn't seem to affect normal display at all

I just tried to add some of you, feel free to add 'gaspode_t' but none of the games I am playing now seem to have interesting leader boards...minna no golf is fun to run around the lobby, it is like a game within a game

I am getting like five random friend requests per day...maybe it is from Near, which tells me there are 244 people playing Vita in my neighborhood right now
 
Been playing

MvC - fantastic love it
Ridge racer - its ridge racer..It's fun, and i knew i was getting ridge racer lite.. But where is my damn career mode?
Power smash 4 - again loving it much more than expected, great game

And the real system seller - Uncharted, just WOW, haters gonna hate, but get real, this is the best looking/playing handheld game ever, and the aiming is intuitive and easy, was getting headshots after a few minutes

Just a heads-up that I went ahead and added all your PSN names. =) If anyone has Blazblue, we should definitely play sometime!

The two times I tried to play Blazblue on a ranked match I lost so badly I am nearly traumatized from that game now...I mean, I am not a great fighting game player but I'm not bad either, there is some sort of techniques being used that are on a totally different level on those ranked matches

Would definitely love to play you if you are on same skill level as I am!

I tried to play through arcade mode for second time as well and got a little frustrated with Hazama guy, I want to blame things on the small d-pad but I think the game is just generally a little complicated at first. If anyone has a recommendation for what character you should start out in this game I would love to hear it, the characters where you put down poles seem to be more advanced?
 
Also I finally got to Pro stages in Minna no Golf 6, damn this game is haaaard, I've never played one of these before so I'm kind of overwhelmed by all these shot options and hitting styles, I am still not sure WTF the rear touch drawing is doing (it seems to be drawing a spin line but then it never spins that much)

There have been a few super frustrating situations, like hitting ball at max and not being able to climb out of a bad spot (having the ball rolling down back at me), the Pro levels are brutal too...the default shot of the first course goes straight into water unless you adjust things.

At first I thought the game would be all about matching up the flag on the swing meter with the shot you take, but it almost never seems to be the case...you have to count for wind and hit it harder or softer depending on which direction the wind is blowing.

Thanks for that, Keiician.

Also, Cheese, my ID is kylecities, add me too :D

Shamelessly adding people to friendslist. cheese doesnt work like said. check your typing.

Really? Sorry 'bout that. It must be different from what I remember it being. I'll try adding you guys.

EDIT: Just checked. It's Cheesemeister3k.

I'll add all the new people to my list. What do you say if we asked Takao to add that contact information to the OP?
 
I have added most of the above that I could find the username of, feel free to add me too, ID: MoFo2com

On a side note, anyone played Katamari Damacy No-Vita? I don't know any Japanese so I feel like I miss something - there must be more than 13 levels right? Online play available? :-/
 
Lord of Arcana was crap - are you saying Lord of Apocalypse is an improvement?

More importantly: Is there no Mingol 6 official thread? Wondering if anyone here knows if crown conditions are the same on each regular challenge level, or if they differ for each? I just got one for finishing with a -3 score, but is that the deal for every one, or are they all different?

Mingol hasn't changed much at all, but it's still crack.
 
A few more Good People Die screens from the demo. Now that I've actually played most of it I could get some new ones. That last puzzle is hard. =(

I definitely like the idea of keeping PSN info that people are freely sharing on the front page or something. Make it easy.

Kinda like TEH POKEMANZ!

Good People May Die looks sharp. Not uber detail but actual AA and native res visuals will pop on that OLED.
 
Quick question! Did you get a digital copy or a physical? If physical, did it come with an instruction manual? Just curious. I really dug that Disgaea 3 Return had a full color one bundled in.
Physical. The manual is literally 5 pages long (the digital one is 60+). Still better than no manual at all (UMvC3, I'm looking at you).
 
UMvC3 owners, are you guys using Japanese or U.S. PSN accounts? Online via an American account is a wasteland. People don't want to do matches from outside their region, it seems. I switched to my Japanese account and it has really helped in finding opponents, although it's still not as many people as I would have expected. Most matches play great, too-- there's no way the online would be this smooth against a Japanese player on the console versions.
 
My Vita appears to have bricked itself. Bought it at launch and only used it to play Uncharted for an hour before leaving it. It's been laying on my desk since and now when I had time to play it, it just won't boot. I figured it was the battery so I put the cable in, but it doesn't even receive any power.

Just before I tried to turn it on I could see the PS button flash blue, like it's done before. So maybe I put it in some kind of recovery mode? I have tried holding the power button down for a long time, but still nothing. Would be grateful for any suggestions.

Have you tried taking out the battery?

Try plugging it to the ac adapter and then using a combination of short/long power button holds. Similar thing happened to me a few hours ago and I panicked a bit. Have been able to run it though.

No, I haven't. I guess I need a screwdriver for that, right? I don't have one, so I'll have to buy one tomorrow if the problem doesn't fix itself.

Okay, that's pretty much what I have been doing. But I will try it some more.


Thanks!
 
After holding the power button down for 2 minutes the PS button finally turned orange. I guess I'll just leave it alone for a while and let it charge.

Yeah, Lord of Apocalypse is actually a good game! The more I play, the more addicted I get.
 
Anyone knows that if the 3G sim lock for Japan Vita set is permanent? Cause from what i know the 3G sim lock for the HK Vita set is unlocked
