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

2. Im looking at a fighting game, I've never been a fan of the doa series, so how is umvc3, and is street fighter x tekken really that much better after the update? Any opinions are appreciated.

There is also BB game for Vita and this one will be closest to P4A (same devs) and also have crazy fun story mode (tons of rediculus humour)

Anybody playing Urban trial? I'm enjoying it a lot.
I have played it a bit, a cool game indeed :)

Wow congrats! I've been really complacent on what 100% or platinum I want to go after next. I've been knee deep in my Suikoden 1 replay, really adore that game. I just keep getting sucked into these classic games and keep neglecting my massive current gen backlog.

Also PSABR is still dead to me - tried playing it again last night with a friend and just got so bored. We were close to putting SSBB up but I didn't feel like finding my Wiimote :\
 
I know some people on here don't care for it but I picked up Life of Pixel the other day for the Vita (PlayStation Mobile). Wow, what a great portable platforming game! Digging the retro graphics, sounds ect... I'd recommend it for only $1.99
 
Sweet. I'll finally pick up P4G to see what all the hyyyyyyyyype is about. Thanks for sharing. And, ashamedly, I may be picking up a 3ds this week, too. Would my place in teh vita brotherhood be revoked?

EDIT: I never finished P3P, so I hope I can start P4G.
 
Is PSN Store having issues for anyone else? I can't get into it on my Vita or PS3.

Keep getting messages "That service is down for maintenance." or "An error has occured."

My friend's list works fine and my systems are connected to the internet, I'm not aware of any recent store maintenance and it's been happening all weekend.

Thanks :) Took me quite a while to get the Earth Defence Force 2017 Portable platinum. It took me about 255 hours. It has a trophy where you need to collect every weapon, but the problem is that the weapon drops (you get those when killing enemies) are random, so you might get rare weapons on first try, or it can take 100+ tries. Treasures of Montezuma Blitz also has a trophy where you need to play 100 hours in total. Not really hard, but it takes quite a while.


I havent seen SIM LOCKED on Vita - how did you do that please
Just don't input the pin code when the system asks you to. I don't remember when I last put the 3G on.
Yep, just dont input the pin code at system startup indeed :) I kinda wish that it was possible to disable this. Not really a problem though, but since i use the 3G so rarely, i wouldnt mind to have an option to disable the pin code input at start up.
 
Just finished MGS2 (for the first time). It was great despite the janky controls. I thought the touchscreen inventory stuff worked pretty well, too.

I was actually eyeing up the MGS HD Collection a couple months ago since it was £15, but decided against it because I don't usually enjoy 'stealth' games. Glad I got the chance to play it thanks to PS+!

Yeah, that ToMB is one of the 2 I have outstanding.
The other is the max all powerups. That nuclear blast one was a bit of a pain in the ass.
 
whoooooaaaa that avatar

He's getting ready for doa5

Every thread he posts in needs now a NSFW tag. :p

Bwahahaha, thanks guy :) I feel so loved~ I'm actually not sure what this avatar is from, someone from 'gaf had fan art that this guy did and I saw this in some of his work so - I just love his style. I really do want DoA+ btw.

I wasn't sure how the game worked exactly outside of the whole third person bug shooter thing. I really want to get it now - it's still a little steep at $30 but I'll probably cave soon and get a few PSN cards.

If you haven't finished P3P, don't worry about starting P4G. The references between the two are almost minimal and there's no necessary background that you need to have.

Yeah, the Nuclear Blast trophy can suck since it depends on some luck.

The basic concept is that you collect weapons and shoot bugs. The higher levels and the higher difficulty level you play on, the bigger chance is it for the more rare and powerful weapon drops. There is a total of 405 weapons in the game divided on two different characters. Although several of weapons feel identical, just that some are more powerful than the others. There are also some support weapon (like stunning the enemies) and tools (healing and shield) that also counts as weapons.

This was my first Earth Defence Force and i'm really looking forward to Earth Defence Force 2025 now :) Going for platinum trophy can be frustrating though, because you most likely have to do a lot of grinding to get all the weapons.

Yeesh, I could use some help on some Inferno stages in EDF if you haven't deleted it already!

Also to answer from before, I'm pretty sure there's no official Sony method to check trophy rarity, only via stuff like psnprofiles or yourgamercards.
 
What's the chance of sony launching a revised vita with the same screen as the xperia Z?
Zero chance, I hope. Vita's screen (resolution aside, and we'll have to wait until PSP5 for 1080p gameplay anyway) has much better viewing angles and color reproduction than the mediocre garbage that Sony's put on its Xperia phones lately.

HTC and Apple have the right idea, though. IPS LCD >>> *

I can't tell you the # of times I had 1-3 blocks left. >_<
I must've wasted like 80,000+ gems on trying to get it. Was so happy I got it one night... I forgot that I had and woke up the next day and saw the trophy on my raptr card in my signature on another forum and thought "did I really get that last night? holy shit!" :D

Bwahahaha, thanks guy :) I feel so loved~ I'm actually not sure what this avatar is from, someone from 'gaf had fan art that this guy did and I saw this in some of his work so - I just love his style. I really do want DoA+ btw.

I'd like to see more of his work. I also like his style. I don't know what the character is, but it already interests me more than DoA5+ ever will. ;)

Any site that scans/scrubs sony's site for trophy statistics should be able to tell you how many other gamers have earned it. It's not official, but it might as well be, as the rarity is most likely computed from data taken straight from Sony's site. The only catch is you probably have to have an account on their site for them to scrub your trophy list... I just checked with a friend who doesn't really care about trophies and I can't find him on a site like psnprofiles.

However, in the case of rarity, if a trophy is fucking hard to get? I'm sure that person cares enough about their trophy list to have a raptr/exophase/whatever profile and their data is getting pulled in for inclusion in the stats.
 
They added a tutorial mode that helps players understand the mechanics. It's the best tutorial since VF4:EVO.
