Since the Ragnarok Odyssey thread is kind of dead (especially compared to this one), I'll ask here. Is anyone willing to near me some endgame boss cards to me? Farming them is basically impossible since everyone leaves the room after I beat the same boss once or twice (even after calling the room "Boss card farming" or something).

I can pretty much solo every other boss card I don't have, except the end game bosses. They're a real pain, and getting them through near would save me some frustration. My PSN is PapasitoPenguin if anyone wants to contact me, or we can PM. Thanks!


edit: Keeping with the theme, top of page recommendation is Ragnarok Odyssey! Fun RPG with online multiplayer that can keep you distracted until Soul Sacrifice, provided you haven't beaten it already.

Hmm the Vita ver. in US is $30 which is close to 20 Pounds...unless you mean the PS3 ver.?

It's cross-buy on the store. So both for £20.

 

[Number45]

Concerning the fact you cannot change your PSN ID

Thanks for the answers.
So know I know you cannot change it. Eventually you could create a new one.

Doing this, I'm going to loose trophies, stats... ok I don't care.
But...

Is there a way to preserve:
- the games I bought in past (PSN, PS Vita,...)
- my recent PSN PLUS account

So I mean if I give up with account A and create account B, can I bring with me games I bought, subscription to Plus,...

Thanks again.

If you keep that account on your PS3 you'll be able to play PS3 games, but you'll be out of luck trying to play Vita games bought on a different account.

^what he said.

Super easy to do on PS3. But the Vita not so much.

I miss ease of having multiple accounts on the PSP

Mentions nothing of Cross-Buy on the webstore.

Thanks.
So it's better to forget about this shit*y idea and leave things as they are.

 

[Number45]

I would. Hopefully they'll give people the option to change when all of the new infrastructure/functionality goes live for the PS4. Considering the possible "real ID" stuff, it makes sense.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Mentions nothing of Cross-Buy on the webstore.

Oh, weird. It says 'bundle' when I search, but it says 'sold separately' on the actual pages.

That's weird, I'm prettysure the PAL version wasn't supposed to come out until later in the month. And yeah, Sony did a bargain RRP for Sly 4, which is great!

Oh yeah, EU release is supposed to be 27th March... Maybe SCEE have balls'd up.

 

[Tsunamo]

Also, Sly 4 is up on EU store. Only £20!?

That's weird, I'm prettysure the PAL version wasn't supposed to come out until later in the month. And yeah, Sony did a bargain RRP for Sly 4, which is great! The PS3 version's priced pretty cheap aswell (which has crossbuy)

 

[bradigor]

Sly 4 is up as a pre-order only from what I can tell.

 

[Number45]

It shows as a pre-order for me.

EDIT: ^^

 

[wilflare]

Looks like there's going to be a Soul Sacrifice stream leading up to the Japanese launch tomorrow

Starts in half an hour> http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv127373709

Sooooru Sakurifaisu!!!

Soul Sacrifice was shown on NHK World just now

 

[Tsunamo]

Same here on the AU Vita and webstores.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Derp, didn't see it listed as pre-order.

Also, Vita sold 62k last week in Japan! Hopefully Soul Sacrifice keeps the numbers up.

Considering the amount of publicity this game gets, that is pretty much guaranteed.

I am hoping with Soul Sacrifice, PSV hardware sales exceed 3DS hardware sales.
(I like the 3DS) but that would make some developers rethink the viability of the Vita

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Considering the amount of publicity this game gets, that is pretty much guaranteed.

I really hope so. I've always been a bit worried that, although the gameplay would appeal to Japan, the tone and art style might be too dark and different from other 'hunting' games to have mass appeal.

I really hope I'm wrong and it sells loads.

i imagine that the soul sacrifice bundle will move at least 15k units.
I also imagine that the Tales of Hearts R game will help sales a bit.
Overall I expect the vita to sell around 50k units next week just like I expected 50k units this week (only 12k off in a good way ) as it continues it trek for around 200k units for the month.

 

[erpg]

Marvelous AQL should just slap XSEED into localizing Senran Kagura. Text only, AO ratings be damned.

Still not enough . Also wish tales would come over... seriously.

Bought dokuro so far and rest of my money went towards steam games.

I guess you are saying that because of all the loli-anime things you happen to know from japan? Lets just say that japanese taste has a darker and more macabre side as well

<3

Haha I know, but I mean it's very different from Monster Hunter in tone, in particular. I don't know if something so different is what the Japanese would want, or if they'd prefer something way more like MH but shinier.

 

[zulux21]

personally I would rather have Ys4 and muramasa. it's a toss up between Valhalla knights 3 and booby warriors though for me so overall I can't complain about xseed.

we won't know for a few weeks. I expect SS will only do 100-125k sales next week, the real question will be if it's a good enough game to be a slow burn seller where people get their friends to play it and get them to go out and get it (and perhaps a vita) as well.

 

[wilflare]

need to spend $8 to bring me to over $100 for that $20. what should I get?
was thinking of picking up two PSM games
Switch Galaxy
Haunted House (?)

Surge if you want a PSM game.

I think that mostly depends on the amount of content. If the game can be 100% within 20-30 hours I dont expect it to have super long legs.

for some reason this came to mind when you asked what you should get.

the famitsu review said the main story took 20-30 hours and that to get through all of the content would take several hundred ;

Haven't they said it's ~25 hours for the SP content alone? I assume they'll support it post release.

 

[erpg]

Aksys is doing Muramasa. Between Valhalla Knights 3 and SR, SR is the clear winner.

 

[Canis lupus]

To Vita sales in Japan

 

[Toma]

Nice! Didnt know that they mentioned it would take several hundreds to 100% it. Sounds like a sure bet then

 

[StarCreator]

Aren't both those getting localized anyway? Muramasa by Aksys though.

All but SK are getting localized.

 

[ZeroAKA]

I have no clue what XSEED was thinking by localizing VK3 over the two Legend of Heroes games and Senran Kagura. Seems like a wasted opportunity to me.

yeah i get aksys and xseed confused all the time, especially on 3 hours of sleep lol.

more so I got rune factory 4 and muramasa confused as to who was releasing it lol.

either way I don't figure SR's chances of localization is completely gone, especially after decent sales, but it also isn't exactly the type of game they would have an easy time getting stocked in stores in NA.

I would imagine VK3 over the legend of heroes games would have something to do with VK3 likely has far less script to translate. I real them saying that the script to legend of heroes is massive and a crap ton of work to localize.

 

[EsotericManiac]

Planned on buying Dokuro before the sale went live. I watched a video on you tube and it convinced me not to get it.

These you tube videos are killing me.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

MLB 13 The Show for Vita will be £23.99/€29.99, out today on EU PSN.

Make it a digital exclusive and charge full price for it. I'm sure a lot of VitaGAF would buy it.

yeah from the review details thread

Soul Sacrifice Famitsu review: 10/9/9/9 37/40

-Over 300 types of magic with a deep crafting system.
-About 25 hours to complete story on single player, multiplayer content expands this to several hundred hours.
-Superb storytelling through the grimoire system and its journal entries.
-Story is quite moving and definitely worth the time to experience.
-Huge variation of spells makes for extremely deep tactical multiplayer experience.
-Team work and role assignment in multiplayer has immense potential.
-Dying and being sacrificed is still fun and does not affect rewards.
-Being able to continue fighting even when dead is extremely welcome feature.
-The dark fantasy theme is well portrayed and written, although it may be too dark for some people's taste.
-Difficulty level is very high, but the high speed action is extremely fun and rewarding to learn.
-Salvation and Sacrifice system adds surprisingly profound and meaningful choice to the game.
-It might be "another hunting game" but it is overflowing with originality.
-Single player is fun in its own right, but multiplayer is where the game really shines. The more the merrier!

Make it a digital exclusive and charge full price for it. I'm sure a lot of VitaGAF would buy it.

perhaps, but we also don't know how much it would cost to license the japanese voices/music for release outside of Asia. It would really be the question if 10-15k sales would be worth the effort and if it would actually turn a profit.

 

[Ran rp]

Okay EDF is thoroughly freaking me out. These ants crawling all over the place and behind me and guaahhh. I don't know why this is bothering me so much.

 

[EsotericManiac]

Is EDF on sale?

 

[wilflare]

for some reason this came to mind when you asked what you should get.

<3 Chrono Cross loved that game when I played it on the PS1

Is EDF on sale?

yes for $30

Makes me wonder how well NLKS did for Konami.

Is EDF on sale?

Yes, it's at $30 instead of $40 right now.

 

[Toma]

yeah from the review details thread

Yeah seriously. This game will sell a shit ton of copies AND Vitas. I'd bet money on it.

Any reveiws on that version?

 

[Ponn]

Id buy SK localized. Im an upscale gamer and need dialogue to go with my big boob ninja games. Kinda like people that buy Playboy for the articles.

 

[CoachKevin]

Quick region question.

Can I play a JP vita cart with a US vita memory card?

 

[erpg]

Quick region question.

Can I play a JP vita cart with a US vita memory card?

Yes. You can't access the JP region's store/JP game's DLC though.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Any reveiws on that version?

No official ones yet I don't think.

Impressions on GAF are it's basically the same as 12 with a more stable framerate and less muddy visuals. Still not native res, still no fancy presentation stuff due to Vita game card size limits.

 

[AranhaHunter]

I just bought a Vita to play Persona 4. What can I look forward to in 2013?

Playing PS4 games on it.
