Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | April 2013 | Sacrifice your Independent Soul

But did you platinum it TWICE?

I will when I get home. Internet here is being crappy with that game so I can't get a game, thus I can't get the online trophies.




PS- My girl just went to get me a 32GB card at GS with my credit. I'll be making the switch tonight. :) Does the new update make it so bubbles don't go everywhere when you switch cards?


Redownloaded Grav Rush to do the challenges. I think its finally time I come back and finish up the platinum. P4G just keeps getting delayed. The cart's been waiting to be played for a month now. :P
 
I must be crazy, spending my time on the vita trying to level up Cloud on Final Fantasy Tactics to match the rest of my team
 
So uh, P4G, what difficulty should I play it on?

Hardest RPG difficulty I can deal with is SMT4 (DS).

Is Hard a good choice?

NGS+ is kinda dumb, I unlocked MNM early and played to chap.5 only to realise there're no unlockables on that mode. I wouldn't use the enhancements anyway, but unlocking nothing is just dumb.

I'd go with normal, then NG+ hard or normal if you are trophy hunting. I remember reading some people saying start on easy if you don't want to do any grinding. For me though, gameplay is fun enough that grinding doesn't feel like "grinding".

I don't know how hard is Strange Journey (assuming you're referring to that, SMT4 is on 3DS and not even out yet :P) but I have to say, normal in P4G is somewhat easier than the normal difficulty in Persona 4 for PS2. The PS2 version was the perfect balance of difficulty on normal: it was hard, but it was rewarding as hell. Much like Demon's/Dark Souls. I found battles in P4G to be somewhat bland on normal and that is probably one of the reason I enjoyed it less that I did on PS2 (I never finished it at the time, played about half of the game), so if you like challenging jrpgs I would suggest going for Hard, although I don't really know how much harder than Normal is (or how difficult it's compared to the Normal on PS2). It could be frustrating, so choose carefully.
 
I had a friend come over to hang out yesterday and in the process of watching some game videos I showed him Soul Sacrifice. He was immediately hooked and now has plans to purchase a Vita next month to play SS with me. As good as that game looks Sony really needs to be hyping it up and showing it off more.
 
Finally downloaded the DOA5+ demo. Gotta say, it looks fantastic and plays really well. Surprised by the amount of content packed into the demo. You can even unlock new costumes and use the touch features (which I thought they would reserve for use only for the full game).
 
What the fuck Sony? Every time I check the store and hit to download something it locks up my Vita. LOCKS it up. Can't do SHIT with it. This started to happen right after the new firmware was put in place. Great. Just fucking great. I've had to restore the system settings twice now.
 
I finally got Persona 4 Golden this week, I'm mad at myself now after playing it for a few hours last night that I never picked it up back when it first came out on the PS2, it's one of those games that just instantly clicks and you know you're playing something amazing, addicted already.

Sony owe you money mate, for selling a vita.

An English demo would be a nice start.

Just wanted to show off my trophy basket
add gravity rush too
I feel like I'm the only one that got sold on the idea of "console quality games in the palm of your hands" because I find it weird that people are getting hyped for old indie game ports. Where is GTA for ps vita Sony/Rockstar? Where is GT and Siphon Filter? Where are the big 3D games that the psp got? I hope Sony and third parties do not give up on the idea of console quality games on the vita. I hope the system will not be relegated to some kind of indie dump-where ports of old indie games are disposed because the vita deserves better.
 
Cool, going with hard then.
I meant Strange Journey =]

I think that is what I would recommend too. I started P4G on Hard but ended up getting tired of grinding in the first dungeon and restarted on Normal. After that first dungeon things got a little *too* easy on Normal so now I just wish I would have stuck it out on Hard instead. :P

Oh well - much of the enjoyment of the game comes from the story, characters, and presentation anyway and next time (not IF) I play through this then I'll go with Hard difficulty at least.

Speaking of P4G - everyone make sure they are checking out the extras that are accessible from the main menu! I keep being wowed by just how spectacular (and numerous) the extras are. The reason I bring this up is that because I'm only playing P4G on my Vita it just stays up and running at all times, so I'm not getting in and out of the game. I ended up quitting out to download the new firmware so remembered the "TV Listings" when I got back into P4G. I had several "new programs" that I just had to end up looking at before finally getting back into the game.

Amazing, Atlus.
 
Glad to see I'm not the only one who found Normal a little too easy. The "restart from current floor" is also a VERY big help in its own good, maybe too big. I'm curious, is it there on Hard too?

And yeah, the extras are awesome, you can really see this is not just a port, they really made an effort. Everyone make sure to check out the opening from the PS2 version among the various extras, the opening for Golden is nice but the original was just plain awesome.

We're all trapped in a maze of relationships~~~ <3

Impressive.
Working on Rayman plat myself atm.
 
16GB card arrived -- I'm going to take a screenshot of my menu once everything is installed. I'll also try out the Soul Sacrifice demo.

P4G is so beautiful. I don't want to get too far into it now but if an RPG has my full interest before any battling is going on, I've found gold.

Darn, on the Japanese PSN Store I can totally see MonHanPo3rd for just &#65509;&#65298;&#65305;&#65296;&#65296;. I really shouldn't buy games I already own, but I wish I could buy this without knowing I can't use it without swapping accounts and stuff.

Its not that we are happy that we are not getting more console big budget type games; its more that we are just dealing with what we are getting, and I don't think we should be completely dismissing HIGHLY acclaimed indie games showing up for the first time on a portable device. I think we should welcome them. At the same time, I don't think we can only want one type of those. I want both and I definitely wish we had more big budget IPs come to Vita.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE... I am glad for games like Guacamelee and MBA, but... I want some other AAA publisher support without huge gaps or ports in between new titles.

Kojima and that Fox Engine, where are you?!?!?!?

I would be happy with ports. I was hoping the Vita would be like the early days of the PSP - either getting recent ports PS2 with extra content or same day releases for new titles.

I guess that's been true in a few cases (like Sly Cooper and NFS:MW), but by & large it's been disappointing. I honestly really thought we'd have Borderlands 2 by now.

It seems like the big AAA games are stuck in the vicious catch-22 cycle. I just wish they would take advantage of game-starved vita owners like the indies are doing now. If anything, I hope this indie craze attracts big AAA publishers..

I'm with you on this. I would be more than satisfied if the vita got a version of every game launching on PS3. That's all I wanted the vita to be - a portable PS3; I don't care if it didn't get exclusive games as long as it got games (AAA) that were on the PS3, whether late ports or same day releases like sly cooper and NFS:MW but oh well, like you said its been disappointing. I love video games but work and school means no time to sit in front of a tv to play video games and I also commute 6hrs per day so that's my allotted gaming time and the vita fits perfectly as my ideal gaming machine. I hope the vita succeeds so I can get to play its exclusive (or portable) GTA, MGS, Syphon FIlter, GT, FF, MH etc.

nah, you're not alone. while i appreciate the fact that other people enjoy'm, the whole indie thing just isn't my thing. it's the ps1/psp games that're keeping the system alive for me between the bigger releases...

well, that & the fact i have a 3ds as well :) ...
 
Everything is on one page! So happy!! Now I just need to decide on what wallpaper to use... I might go wallpaper shopping again @_@


I also really need to just got for another platinum, I'm getting jelly at some of you guys racking up all dem platinums.
 
Bought Sonic Transformed, such a fantastic racer.

It really is. Having a lot fun with it right now. Best kart racer this gen, bar none. Only wish I could connect to an online match! And, vitagaf, thank you again for the P4G recommendation. The hype is well deserved. Fantastic game, and justifies the vita purchase all on its own.
 
loving the folders update.
now everything is on one screen, no more incessant scrolling between screens :D

just hope they add the options to
(1) choose own folder icon
(2) choose folder background
(3) increase beyond the 100 bubbles limit
(4) hide unwanted bubbles (so i can hide the things I really... just don't use)

and my 32GB is out.. unless I remove some games grrr
maybe NG:Sigma+ would have to go
so that P4G and P3P can get installed
 
I was a little down on the folder update at first b/c I thought the implementation seemed a little lazy. I am really liking it now though. I think it looks good and it helps organize things so much better.
