Just purchased and started downloading Carnage Heart EXA. ETA for 491 MB is 4 minutes.

It has the original voicework, which is awesome. Not so awesome is that the default volume for voices is set to zero and you can't turn it up until the option menu is unlocked, which happens roughly a few minutes in, depending on how fast you read. Not clear if you can set the voice volume to non-zero before starting the game.

And there's a full 32GB memory card finally. Time to learn how to juggle. Glad I have a physical copy of Disgaea 3 so I don't have to deal with that next week. Still need to figure out what to remove for HSG DLC and Nunz With Gunz: Electric Boogaloo. Blargh, that officially pushes me over the $100 mark for this month and to about ~30 short of the $150 mark. Need to figure out what else to get for the rest of the month after Nuns, HSG DLC, and Machinarium.

gamestop has a retail preorder up though, it might be a case of they got the digital version up first and a physical version later. or gamestop might just be selling a digital code for it soon :/

I hope it's not digital only, I was likely going to get it day 1 as a physical release, but I won't touch it if it's digital only until it gets at least half off :/

oh well I still need to finish up meruru anyways.

You mean the gamestop link from earlier?
That was for a download though.

Unless you mean the stores have a pre-order available for it?

I edited that like 3 minutes ago >.>;
Either way, I'm likely going to be skipping it. I like the series but I can't bring myself to support a company that is going to charge full retail price for a digital version that they can't even to bother to announce that they are releasing :/

In general this doesn't bode well for me and the atlier series, as koei's handling of it is going to keep me from buying it anymore, as I would rather not get the games at all than support such crappy business practices.

 

[LuchaShaq]

So, someone told me the preliminary release date for Dragon's Crown here in Canada is August 13th. Question is... should I pick it up digital or retail?

If you're like me and have no desire for a giant collection physical so you can sell it when you're done unless there ends up being a crazy price cut on digital.

So the same as any game honestly.

Quick question Vita gaf as I'm still a tad new to PS+.

If I download a videogame that's free to me currently and then delete it, will it still be free to me in a month when it's not free anymore (as long as I'm still subscribed to PS+)?

 

[dallow_bg]

Hot Shots DLC is up on the webstore.

The full bundle is 11.99, or 8.99 for PS+.

Yes, you can even redownload it for free as long as you stay subscribed to PS+.

 

[darkwing]

welp, with Totori I have to juggle games again

 

[filipe]

Yes.

Made an edit but it seems your understood my question, thank you good sir and/or madam.

The answer remains the same anyway.

I've had PS+ since day one, makes searching my download list a PITA because of it, haha.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Totori's almost finished downloading, another 15 minutes or so until it's done.

In other news, some Kaizoku Musou 2 Vita footage. It looks great, fucking Namco. :/ I would have double dipped, now I gotta pay extra to do that.

 

[Number45]

Haha, I think it's an RTS which I'm not really into.

Really? Hype minus 12 million.

EDIT: I watched the trailer at work earlier, but somehow managed to miss all of the gameplay snippets.

 

[wilflare]

not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me..
but P4G is $29.99 on the Vita Store as well...

for all digital vitabros...

 

[Memento_Mori15]

That stealth release from Temco. I have the PS3 version but didn't play it. I do like rpgs better on a handheld thanks to Golden but I would like to read some gaffers impressions first.

DOA and Totori, best week for vita?

 

[Fusebox]

All these new games on my PS store! Atelier, DOA, Nun Attack, what a totally Vita-riffic day it is...

 

[Fusebox]

Are ps1 games 60hz on my PAL Vita?

NO.

If you want to play 60Hz Final Fantasy etc get them from the US store instead.

 

[Azull]

Im considering of purchasing Need for Speed Most Wanted since its on the cheap right now but not sure if I should pick up the PS3 version or the vita, anyone have some opinions on either versions.

the vita one is a visual downgrade, but it is my favourite because of the portability. i have both the ps3 and vita versions. they're both great, so you won't regret it either way!

 

[Figboy79]

Vita has no games. Stop spreading misinformation and FUD that there are actually things to play on it.

Mine is currently a paperweight.

Spoiler

because the damn battery died, now I can't download the PS All Stars characters and patch, or any of the shiny new games until I get home from work! *cries in a corner*

EDIT: Also, Persona 4 or Totori? I've been in a JRPG mood, and my Vita is jonsing for one, so which would be the better investment?

At least with P4 you definitely know it's considered a truly amazing port/game already. I'm considering Totori, just don't know much about the game/series.

persona 4, the atelier series is what I play when I want something that is JRPG like but doesn't feel like a jrpg, if you are in a JRPG mode Persona 4 would be the far better choice to me.

dope. I finally get to play it lol

Both, duh.

 

[Leona Lewis]

DOA5+ is a required purchase.

Looks great, runs great - it's a dream come true with Vita's D-Pad.

Play the demo. Then buy the game.

Persona 4.

Excited here.

It's done!

Japanese voices~!

 

[Figboy79]

Both, duh.

Well, duh, but I just dropped $65 on God of War: Ascension, and I'm not about to drop another $70+ for two more games. I've limited myself to 1 game per month (not including really cheap sales and downloadable titles that are sub $20).

I may be able to squeeze in Persona, but I kind of want the retail version instead of digital, but digital appears to be cheaper. I have such a big backlog of Vita, PSP, and PS1 games, though, that I probably shouldn't add to it, but dammit, new game smell is my weakness!

I recall seeing news about a patch to start adding DLC so I don't think that's "as unexpected".

[Paskil]

Guys, I've never played any MonHon games. Soul Sac was going to be my first experience (I know, I know, not really the same thing). Should I risk Freedom Unite at $9.99? I get sucked into certain games fairly easily. I passed on DJMax out of fear I won't emerge from playing for months.

I am going to scoop up Persona 2 for sure though since it's on sale and never played.

 

[VanWinkle]

Man, the DoA5+ demo is 2.5GB That stinks since I'm not planning on buying the full game. I have to bust out my ol' 4GB card since neither of my 16GB cards have enough space.

 

[dallow_bg]

Man, the DoA5+ demo is 2.5GB

Damn.
Bigger than the actual game... what?

 

[btkadams]

oh man i'm feeling the burn. just bought persona 2 innocent sin last week lol.

 

[WORLDTree]

It's done!



Japanese voices~!

Oh shit, so it is the full game?

And get the DOA5+ demo, I need peeps to pay with.

 

[Takao]

Damn.
Bigger than the actual game... what?

It's the full game that needs an unlock code, no?

 

[VanWinkle]

Bigger than the actual game... what?

The demo and full game are both 2.5GB.

It's the full game that needs an unlock code, no?

I assume so, yeah.

 

[anddo0]

Atelier Totori came out of nowhere.. It turns out getting DOA5 retail was a wise move after all. So much content.

 

[Lifejumper]

The persona 4 discount will also be coming to the EU store?

 

[dallow_bg]

I assume so, yeah.

Whoops, I was going by the Blog post sizes.
They had 2.1GB for the game.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Silent Hill update is as confounding as it is welcome, I guess.

Doesn't it cost like $10,000 to update a game on PSN. Not sure a few new missions and character accessories will make that money back.

 

[RedNumberFive]

Pulled the trigger on the HSG DLC, my game of the forever...

But guys, is Persona 3 Portable, THAT bad? I only made it about half way through Persona 3 proper, but I've been loving the shit out of P4G, and now that it's almost over, I'm going to be going through some serious withdrawal.

 

[HiddenAway]

The persona 4 discount will also be coming to the EU store?

Practically no chance. It's only been out a month in Europe and SCEE tend not to allow discounts on relatively new games or add them to Plus for fear of the backlash from those who've already bought it.
