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

Does anybody know if the Muramasa Collector's Edition will be available at retail or if it's Amazon only? (top of page, pre-order Muramasa etc)
 
PlayStation Blog post about Soul Sacrifice just went live. Nothing we don't already know. Still no details about a possible discount.

My first time to see those particular pieces of concept art. Pretty good.

They should focus on fixing my standby first =/

Ok that's definitely another thing for the list. And the store download issue.



I just never minded jumping through their DRM media transferring hoop until now. It used to be relatively painless (though still worse than being able to just copy things over like the PSP). Now it's a huge pain in the ass.
 
My first time playing that chapter I actually saved her. Then to no one's surprise she resumed her attack and I quickly died. :p

lol I did the same

i feel like a broken record (though Eurogamer's review feels the same way), but the poor english VA pretty much ruined the impact of that whole thing. So bad.

Yeah. What's wrong with you content manager? And what exactly are you using it for?

What's wrong with the English VAs? I like them.

Completely uninspired performances with limp direction and delivery. It sounds like the voice actors basically made up what they thought the tone should be. The book (librum?) is very unfunny and quite annoying actually, never creepy or omnious (like the Japanese counterpart). Magusar sounds like he's he couldn't be anymore disinterested in the lines he's delivering.
I compared it to the super hammy VA of say Xenoblade's localization.

I like the English VAs too. Kinda hammy and sometimes off but I think it fits the mood of the game. Librom is the foil to all the earnest drama going on. He/she/it saves the game from taking itself too seriously.

That said, I look forward to hearing the Japanese voices.
 
goddamn tomorrow is may

Either Monosukoi or I are going to do it. Not like there's much to do...

I don't exactly post here, either.

Pretty much the only thing I really don't like about the game so far, based on the demo. I'll be using the Japanese voices straight away. It makes it worse being English, too. So awkward to hear.

Looks like my copy will arrive on Thursday, with any luck, so hopefully I feel up to really sinking my teeth into it.
 
Man guys, we really waited until the last minute for deciding who does the May thread, lol. I can't really think of Vita challenges and games of the month and all that jazz so maybe somebody else should do it.

Edit: ^Cool, thanks grim.

It should be $35.99.
Whenever Grace Chen decides to "grace" us with the update... :lol
Anyone want to bet on when that will be?

Thursday @ 7pm?

I like the English VAs for some of the partners, but I hate the narrator. HATE HATE HATE. I have a female character and it isn't androgynous or anything... it just sounds male to me... So when I hear a male talking about his time with Sortiara and my character is female, it irks me a bit.
 
Challenge: beat some designated boss the fastest in soul sacrifice.

Game of the month: Hotline Miami. (they're shooting for end of may)
 
griiiiim shuuuut uuuup

Hey, now that's a cool idea. The only problem is that how do you regulate it a bit? Not everyone is going to want to play online, and that's the quickest way of defeating a boss, right?

That's a really neat suggestion because the game is so new and it'd get way more people doing it than Rayman ever did (
ZERO
), plus it'd get people playing together and stuff. If anyone smarter than me can come up with it, make sure you tell Heaps about it. Otherwise - Sonic Racing looks like a good way to go with it.

II was thinking it could be a solo challenge to add some extra difficulty to it.

Defeat a boss in any way possible, and highest score would work as a tie-breaker.

I know some people can take down Cerberus in a minute and a half solo, and parties actually slow them down.

There's no real way to prove if the boss was taken down solo or with a party.
 
I am not a huge fan of challenges linked to new releases. Maybe they should aim at rediscovering a game that's been abandoned or something?

Did that work for rayman?

This right here is perfect. What's a good way to take down cereberus? Trying to do that before the store updates.

EDIT:
hmm yeah you're right, so how would we do group challenges?

Look how that turned out for Rayman, though.

Sounds good. Can anyone think of any problems with this?
 
Quick question: I'm by Little Big Planet later on today and I was wondering if I download the demo right now and then proceed to purchased the game When the store updates will that give me an unlock code or would tell me to re download the full game?

Yeah I know (don't have the game, just got the vita).
I'm new to the thread so I won't say no more. :p
nah you're good, at least we have people contributing.
 
A bit late, but nobody did the Rayman challenge? Then I nominate Hatsune Miku Project Diva f as Game of the Month for May.

i definitely forgot about the challenge. sorry guys! i only read the op once, so i guess it gets forgotten if people don't mention it.
