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

Is it lame that i had to watch a video walkthrough to actually finish dokuro's first boss stage 1 level 10? :(

Well... a little... :D there's a "slow way" and a "fast way" to kill each boss (they have a specific weak spot ) If you want to get the platinum you have to learn how to beat them in the fastest way
 
I've someone on my friends list that was consistently hitting over 120M I really cannot see how people are getting that much extra time constantly. Are you pausing it to assess your next move from the pause screen, I think their longest game was something like 80 minutes!

I use the bonus time (orange) and extra item (purple) totems and then bombs, lightning and timer bonuses.

Am I missing a better combo of extras to try using? Also do you ever bother with switching the direction of the falling blocks? I always felt that added an unneccesary complication to the game.

No, I'm cheating all the time, hitting the ? button to show me the next move. XDDD

But I am aiming for the orange and purple crystals so I get the bonuses and extra time. That's how I get such scores. Sometimes I get a lot of points when the orange and purple crystals show up pretty often, and sometimes I barely get 10M when I just can't get enough crystals for the bonuses.

This is my best:


And these are the totems I use:


So, the secret is: just hit the ? button and focus on the orange and purple crystals. :D
 
The more I play Motorstorm RC, the more I love/hate it. I love, well, everything except the AI and how a lot of things are handled. I was doing a dune buggy race and kept getting side swiped by the AI. I would go spinning out of control and go into a tail-spin, while the AI would just shove right through me. There's a load of examples of this not specific to one car. Thankfully, the game is really good overall.
 
Question related to Everybody's Golf

Here I can find a list of the requirements to obtain crowns in the challenges of the game.

Do the game actually tell me how to obtain them or I should just try and try random stuff untill I unlock them? :/

Just do the stuff in the list you linked and you'll get the crowns.

Well, 'just' is probably the wrong word, most of them are hard as hell for me.
 
I had Lumines 1 and 2 on PSP, but probably will hold off on the vita version. I'd say if you never played it the $13 would be worth it.

I've played it so much that it seems like a $5 game to me.

I've never played any of the games outside of the short demo. They seem kind of neat in theory, but really I just like the box art <:T
 
FedEX tracking is telling me my copy of HSG is out for delivery right now. Couldn't pass it up at free ($10, free with my sony point thingies I've been racking since getting the Playstation credit card). The last HSG game I played was PS1 era if I'm remembering correctly. Any advice right off the bat? Motion controls/touchscreen bad? Turn off immediately if able?

Once you reach platinum level the game lists the requirements. Until then, it's a mystery. Frankly, until you unlock some of the better characters, most of the crowns are difficult to obtain.

I think I might do that... I saw the current sale and considered getting HSG. Didn't even think about the points from my Sony card. Thanks for the reminder! Actually, I don't want HSG as much as simply using the points at the Sony Rewards site to get PSN credit to spend on DOA5+. So doing that instead.

And the Lumines series makes me sad. I feel like I want to buy it for the music aspect, but I just cannot stand playing puzzle games.

Thanks for this info, now it does make sense!
How do I obtain platinum? All strars obtained?

Just keep collecting stars, which will move you up the ranks, and you'll have it in no time. ATM, I'm two stars away from being able to face-off against the last unlockable character. Again, you probably won't have the pro golfers or gear to get many crowns now anyhow, so just forget about them until later in the game.
 
Didn't you guys say Rayman would be on sale today?

Just got off the phone with my son's great grandmother. She purchased the game on 3DS for $30.

See what happens when I'm not around!

Man. HSG on Vita was my first HSG since the PS1 days too and I'm not even really into golf, but the game is a blast.

Yes it is, for $13, and the 3DS version of the game is sooo bad. So that is unfortunate.
 
So I thought I would give TiTs another go.

Load file

Chapter 2 and 20 hours of playtime.

OK lets do this.

1 hour later of slug paced pointless events (text).

This game has to get better at somepoint right?

Im at the point where
the orphanage burns down

Should I expect this kinda pacing and story for the rest of the game or does it pick up into something interesting soonish?

I really want to like this game. I just keeps literally sending me to sleep when I play it in bed.

:) . you've perfectly summed up my entire tits experience. i'm a huge (j)rpg fan, but i will never understand the love/worship this game's managed to generate...
 
So your saying it doesn't get better?



.....Ah nuts.

The orphanage thing clearly WAS a highlight already, you just didn't notice because .... Of the game having a super low highlight bar. But yeah, the game is waaaaay to slow. I hope I manage to finish it eventually.

Okay, I've got to ask. What the hell is TiTs?

I just put the idea in his head last night around 6:00 PM (Rayman)

So then they go out today while I'm work and just buy it for $30?

I can understand him wanting a new game for 3DS, but I really should be involved in the decision process here.

Plus, it would have been way better to just download it on his vita and I wouldn't have to worry about him losing the game
 
Should I get escapeVektor or When Vikings Attack? I was also looking at Knytt Underground vs Big Sky Infinity but I'm pretty sure now that I'm going to get Knytt (liked the demo).

Germinator seemed cute but I think I'm going to buy Lumines instead (I'm interested in listening to the soundtrack more than the actual gameplay though)
 
When a man loves a woman very much,..


Back on topic - help me get better at motorstorm RC gaf!

Learning the tracks helps a ton. Knowing if letting go of the gas is sufficient, or dare I say, actually using the break is necessary for beating some of the lap times.

I like to use outside-inside-outside for hairpins
 
My copy shipped. holy, they ship from HK? No wonder shipping is so expensive.

Shipping from HK isn't expensive unless you order EMS or something. Or Fedex, but I haven't heard of people using Fedex unless what you're importing has lithium batteries.

You don't need to touch the screen or worry about the motion to platinum the game, and you don't need to touch the settings for that either. :)

Want a highly polished, simple MP game? WVA
Want a challenging puzzle game? EV

I don't think you can clearly recommend one over the other.
 
Are there people playing WVA online? No one ever answered that question when I asked in the OT. Thanks.

I fear people might not answer that here either, since I havent heard about anyone playing it lately.

Got 21M in my first try with this, thanks. :)
 
Haven't played Montezuma in a long time, this update'll get me back in, plus I'll use that Orange+Purple tip, I've been using Orange+Green mostly.
 
Has anyone else played or is anyone currently playing Knytt Underground? I bought it after trying the demo and for some reason I find it super addicting. I think it's the OCD in me trying to clear every room. There's an item collecting element, there's quests, there's exploration, a bit of puzzle solving, a bit of storyline and humour. Surprisingly fun.

Minor storyline spoiler:
There's an LGBT character in the game named Cilia which is pretty cool.

I'm actually addicted too and is the only thing I've played for the last two weeks. Had no idea about Cilia being like that.
