Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | March 2013 | Carving an Independent niche

Guys i have an important question
i bought some stuff from the store at 27/2 , is it count for the "10$ back offer?" cuz i want to buy some more items now and reach the 50$ ! or its only for march transitions ?
 
So uhhh, I've been playing PSASBR on the Vita for a while and I can't seem to ever win online. Does the Vita have a disadvantage at all or am I just that less experienced than other people? I only have the Vita version so I can't go on the PS3 and see.

I've been able to win quite a few times with my Vita, don't have the PS3 version. What character are you using?

Kratos is pretty beginner friendly.

That picture is so cool. Reminds me of the picture of the guy that had all those Final Fantasy games on his PSV.(the ones available on PSN at least)

I'm guessing it's you. Sorry.

I've got both and I have no problem winning on either. In fact, I've even managed that "Win a match without dying" trophy on both. O_o

Alright. I will :)
This game is way more fun than people have made it seem.

Yeah, keep trying. Practice makes you better.
Pick someone who "feels" right for you... then find the best way to generate AP with them.
The last step is figuring out how to best exploit your supers. Can you keep cleaning up with level 1? Should you save til level 3? Or a mix of 1 and 2. (Example, I pretty much store to level 3 with Kratos, use level 2 exclusively with Spike, while Raiden and Dante I stick with mostly level 1).

Once you get better, you'll want to start working in throws and dodges. Throws work to drain XP from opponents, so it's useful against people who are storing to get to level 3.

I think the promo started 2/26 and runs through 3/31.
 
Only Pure Chess and Switch Galaxy for me. I was thinking of picking up Big Sky Infinity, but then played the PS3 demo and decided it wasn't for me.

Only games I haven't bought that I want are Persona 4(in no rush since I beat the PS2 version) and maybe EscapeVektor.(not sold on this game)
 
My Vita hanged during Patchwork Heroes installation, so I ran rebuild database as that's what some people suggested on the web. However, half of my Vita game bubbles are gone after that! :(

Anybody encountered this before? Is there a way to restore my save games? Thankfully all the PSP/PSOne stuff are still intact.

This also made me consider subscribing to PS Plus as it has cloud save function. Does PS Plus support PSP saves too?

Your Vita saves are safe.
It removed the game bubbles for any games that have their data stored on the retail card, and not the memory card.
Once you put one of those games back in, you'll see that nothing was lost.

But you should join PS+ anyway.
 
obviously it's persona 4 golden as it's the only one that can't be played on the psp.

I was thinking it was P2 for PS1, since that was the only one that he had to use a PS3 to transfer to the Vita.

Well it seems it was either P1, 2, or 4. Definitely not 3 though, nope.
 
Welp, I think I'm finally done with Hot Shots Golf. I'm just not skilled enough to do any better.

Wow, my first time playing SFxT.

Imagine thinking you're about to have loads of fun doing something, and then you nearly fall asleep within the first half hour of performing said activity. You have just imagined SFxT.

This week in fighting game sales:

PASBR = Fun gameplay, terrible roster
SFxT = Unfun gameplay, roster of the forever

Come save us DOA5+ :-\
 
Yay, Internet is back up. Now I can download free stuff.



I hope this doesn't turn into a situation where those two people have accidents - Eiger Sanction style.



Your image is showing PS+ price for Spec Ops, but not for Sine Mora (and maybe some other stuff).



I thought that promotion ended Jan 31.

It did. I just bought HSG earlier today when I saw the link and saw that some of the prices are honored online as well as at the Sony stores. I had a little over a thousand points accumulating slowly from using the card to make PSN only purchases for maximum point return.

Yes he should.
But to further answer his question, PS+ only supports PS Vita saves on Vita (and PS3/PSN games on PS3). PSP and PSOne saves are not able to be stored on either cloud.

I'd take both of those over a DoA game, but that's just my opinion. ;)
And I'd expand to say that Sony Smash, just like regular Smash, is only truly fun when you play against friends.
 
Definitely won't be free this month, I doubt it will be free soon. I think they are making an effort not to discount the free game soon before it's made free because people get really mad about that. My money is on Lumines as our free game next month.


Ok I'm gonna buy it now then, thanks ...... but if it does go free this month, I want a public apology from everyone .... lol

And Disagea 3 for free, that is great cos that's a game I would never have bought but would like to give it a try, I'm shit at these kind of games :(
 
no one even responded to my rant

oh noes

You've gone off the deep end with this Vita in Japan stuff, lol. I think it's turning you mad :( We can only enjoy the games we get. I know it stinks about the state of Vita with Capcom, Square Enix, etc. There's just nothing we can do about it :(

if you need any help with disgaea 3 just ask, I likely won't be able to resist replaying it and making a beginners guide when it goes free lol.

Yeah that would be great ....

So from the sales I got

Unit 13 (last week)
Dokuro
Sine Mora
Life of Pixel
Oddworld : Strangers Wrath

God the ZX81 levels brought back some bad memories of trying to play games on that thing .... Spectrum 48k was such a big advance from the ZX81

Sadly you are correct. :-(

I bought the Vita version digitally upon release. I made myself play it a decent number of times, but never came to love it. It's just not much fun.

MK on Vita IS fun. And I'm considering picking up UMvC3 for 50% off this week.
 
Got Oddworld : Strangers Wrath & wild arms, and cant stop myself but to buy YS seven even its not on sale, so i get the 10$ bonus!
 
Vita gaf. Should I get SFxT since it's on sale or not? Is it actually good this time with that 2013 patch(the patch is available for vita right?)
 
imagine with me a psn store that allows gifting
a store that allows publishers to obtain codes from sony to offer them up to other sites for sale.
imagine the humble indie PSN bundle...

that will be the day :P

Sony should be happy when such a day happens!
haha gifting would really encourage people to spend much more!

think
- new Vitabro joins
- GAF thinks Vitabro should play Game A
- GAF gifts Vitabro Game A

and we would all gift sunshine games to anyone who's negative

Toto would end up with around 30 gifts of the best PSP game ever made (Persona 3 Portable)

I'm not sure you spent much time with it. I initially didn't like SFxT when it came out because I was playing it like street fighter 4. I didn't understand the juggle system and I was whiffing and getting punished horribly which led to a lot of frustration. After revisiting the game thanks to Vita, the combo system is very deep and theres a ton that hasn't been explored yet.
 
Just bought Stranger's wrath. Never played the original. Looking forward to playing it!

Also bought Unit 13 in last week's sales. It is a pretty amazing handheld game, and it was totally worth it at the price.
 
I get that the current sale is for the US anniversary, but is UK likely to get any deals? I want Stranger's Wrath, but a tenner is still more than I paid for the Xbox version like 7 years ago.

Yup that's the problem with some players, they were playing it like SSF4, but SFxT is more lenient with combos than SSF4, and can be much more fast paced
I recommend watching SFxT match vids from ssf4evo's channel on YT to see how well the game can be played. It's also one of the few games where meter consumption is different. To giev an example how meter would be used in SFxT is different to how it would be in XIII...at least that's the way I see it ^_^;

Europe got their sale on Vita games a few weeks ago didn't they? Along with their Christmas sale last year.
 
I really have to wonder what in the world Sony's doing with this platform. Did Nintendo buy a huge chunk of Capcom while we were all sleeping? Why is their support so abysmal?
Is this piece of plastic really worth getting depressed over?just enjoy the games which come out.

Yup, it was 2-3 weeks ago. It surprises me how some people are unaware of the EU ro US Blogs and the weekly offers they have...
 
awesome... thanks to webchat they introduced on steam I can chat on steam on my vita lol

only problem is i couldn't figure out how to scroll my friends list down >.> so I kind of need to make sure my friends are in game lol (i could scroll down in general and see more friends but i couldn't seem to interact with that bar on the left to scroll down to the last few)
