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

So MH fans here, can I transfer my save file and progress from freedom 2 to freedom unite?

Seeing as I know I would like the game if it had multiplayer despite my issues with it, I am wondering if the cat helper things you can get in Unite would have a similar effect. That feeling of having a team (distractions to help you basically). Also my file has about 20 hours of progress. Would I be able to get the cat things straight away or is there still ages to get them. If so I wont bother but Im kinda tempted. I really want to like the game.

At £7.99 it might be worth a punt to see if I can get into the game with that addition.

Although I just bought FFIX this morning and have a few more things in RO to do so I might be best just waiting for SS and then maybe trying this later in the year.
 
About Everybody's Golf

Yesterday I beated GOLD level. Now I've PLATINUM level unlocked but I can access only to the VS match. What's wrong? How to unlock the challenges of this level? Do I have to beat them all to "see" the description of the crown trophies?

Thanks.

From what I remember you need a certain amount of stars to access each Vs match and the crown requirements appear once you have completed the game. So yeah you gotta win all those platinum matches.
 
Urgh, I want to buy a 16 GB memory card. Kinda hard to find a used one from where I'm living. Need to search for one thoroughly.

Edit: Is 8GB good enough for PSN games (I don't purchase the retail PSN games)? I'll be reserving my 4GB Memory Card for my PSOne/PSP classics.

Where do you live? When I get my new 32Gb I'll be selling my 16gb for ~$40
 
I got my copy from Shopto on Wednesday so I'd assume it should be up on the store today?

It should be, but it isn't. The Walking Dead (PS3) has hit the store so they're updating, but DOA5+ is AWOL.

Perhaps it'll appear later. If not, I'm tipping over a digital magazine rack.
 
You need all crowns to unlock the
Izzak
alternate costume VS, yeah. No mean feat!

So you mean that the platinum level is made by 2 challenges (both VS.)?
I have one unlocked.
In order to gain more stars I should win the last challenge of each level, but in order to do this i need more crowns.

I post a picture (how do I resize it?)

Now that you've unlocked the platinum tier you'll be able to see the crown requirements for each stage. Completing crowns unlocks the second VS for each tier (which is an alt costume, it's basically the same challenge as the normal VS but with harder conditions and a points match), once you've got all other crowns (44 total I think) then you'll unlock the final challenge.

EDIT: Also, the game has an active OT. :)

One of the community managers RT'd a tweet from Tecmo saying it's now available. I asked them if it was up on the store and he said he didn't think so. Not much help I know, I assume it'll go up at some point today.

Noooo!!! I have to do the crowns?

I have about 9-10. I thought they were there for trophy purposes. This sucks :(

Philippines. Unless you're willing to ship here or go here on vacation by chance. :p
 
Pfft, death mode is the best part of Sound Shapes. Love that game, one of my top five Vita games.

If Sound Shapes had only that one mode it would have been the worst game I played on Vita, and one of the worst games I played ever.

It randomly generates levels that can't be beaten until, by luck, it generates one that can. That's awful game design. :(

What? The death mode levels aren't random.

EDIT: Oh you're talking about the note placement.

Thank you Number45, you're Number1 in my hearth.

Some of those crowns are horrible. I actually completed them all last year but I deleted my bubble (and the save along with it, this was before PS+ was on the Vita), so I started again last week. Just one more to go to unlock that final challenge.

Maaaaan, that's impressive. I can't get past silver tier. My putting game is so weak that the greens on Legacy Links course totally fuck me over. I can't be arsed to practice enough to get past 'em.

Didn't stop me buying the DLC though.

Make me some examples please.

- the last 18 holes (GOLD)
- rought +1 (GOLD)
- Real Golf rule (GOLD)

It's actually a silver challenge (5-3, the La Provence Impossible Pin challenge - keep GIR and win) that I'm stuck on. I can win the challenge with a new character with zero loyalty with my eyes closed, but it only takes one mistake and the crown is gone. :'(

There are four crowns that gave me trouble (i.e. required more than a few attempts). The two VS matches against Grace (one putt all holes) and the silver and gold -3 (keep GIR) challenges. No matter how hard I try I tend to make a single mistake - and I actually find myself making more mistakes when I try to play it safe because I'm much more used to aggressively going for the pin at all times.
 
Don't know what the expect from Tearaway, but so far I'm not really impressed. To be fair none of the Media Molecule do anything for me.

I can't quite figure out what it's supposed to be, exactly. To me, it seems like it's like the original Crash Bandicoot game, only with paper-cut out style graphics and presumably a lot of gimmicky use of touch controls.

I liked Crash Bandicoot, but I really didn't like LBP's platforming (sorry, I know it's a cliche, but I really didn't)
 
It's a third person adventure from what I can gather, built around the paper style (the paper theme isn't just graphical). Crash was a platformer.

Not sure about the save transfer but yeah the cat does sort of act as a distraction sometimes and can be a big help in that way. Its not like having a team but its a big improvement. I am picking up a 3DS and MHTU because I am such a damn sucker for those games. I killed most of the monsters in MHF2 with no help and no team so I don't mind going solo so much.

Thanks. If I can transfer then I might give it a go. I got over how I hate the controls so this is its biggest issue for me. Shame there is no multiplayer online. I just find having the main monster and all the other monsters tageting you 100% of the time frustrating in a game with such slow paced animation priority combat.

The final straw was fighting a monster that keeps going underground in a zone with lots of monsters that also keep going under ground. If that main monster got me once the whole zone just piled on me. In a faster paced game its not so annoying because you can get away but the way MH works it just wasn't fun.

If the cat thing gives you enough breathing room I might actually enjoy the game more.

I read on the net that you can transfer, but that was talking about on PSP when the game first came out. Not sure if it works fine on Vita. I imagine it would.
 
Finally got a 32Gb card. 8Gb was not enough and i was constantly deleting things to get new things on.

Admittedly, i haven't played my Vita for a long time since i'm not that interested in what's currently releasing on Vita. But i'm ready for Velocity Ultra and Tearaway, which are the games i'm most looking forward to. I'm also very interested in the various indie games that are going to be released in the next couple of months (like Thomas was alone).
 
went to check on my order and it seems like Ayase Haruka new movie will be delaying my order for a day or two

*and yeah I love Japanese romantic comedies..you should too.



yeah it's a pain,but they get my new and very old gravure idol dvds fast so I don't mind them.
...They still make VCDs? :O My only knowledge of that format comes from the HK film 'Bio-Zombie', haha.

Oh sweet, I'm about to board a plane for PAX. I'll stop by for sure!
Make sure to pick us up some Tearaway pins!

EDIT: DOA5+ not up on the EU store, but Walking Dead Survival Instinct is for £50? Hahaha. I'll pick up DOA5+ retail.
 
Hey guys, how long does the PSN sales normally last? Thinking about getting the persona series or atelier totori plus and persona 2 ( since its the most expensive one) due to bundle issues :/

Normally only one week, but the Atlus Faithful email says that Persona 4 will be on sale for two.
 
Today I saw this video of Grand Knights History (PSP, same team as Dragon's Crown, Odine Sphere, Muramasa,...) and I was shocked by the graphics.

The US localization for the game was cancelled. That's a pity, really.

P.S.
I've read there's a fanboy translate version but it is incomplete. :(
 
For anyone wondering about the free PSN monies from the Urefer program, I just looked at the TOS on it and noticed this:

The Contest begins on March 29, 2013 (9:00am Eastern Time (“ET”)) and ends on May 10, 2013 (6:00pm ET) (the “Contest Period”). [

Was Sony unprepared for this and are they trying to delay the contest or something?
 
Virtue's Last Reward will be free on PS+ next month in Europe. Hopefully North America gets something as awesome as that. :/

Yay! I would have already bought it but still have to play 999. Finally a game that I didn't buy and want is a PS+ freebie, not like all the other times I wasted money.
But now I feel bad for not supporting the EU publisher for such a niche game.
