Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | June 2013 | Late Ports and Late Threads

Hello gaffers,

Just bought a vita and put a PS+ 1 year with it.

Hey, you are that guy from the other thread. Welcome, you made the right choice ;)

Just got a Vita!!!

Downloading a bunch of PS+ goodies

Any suggestions on what else I should get?

You are also welcome. If you didn't get Wipeout 2048 with PS+, you should buy it. LBP, Guacamelee and Persona 4: Golden are also must haves.
 
Whats the GAF consensus on Jak Collection?
Is the slowdown in Jak 1 really that bad? Are we talking consistent 15-20 FPS or occasional dips?

Somebody pointed out that the frame rate is only "crap" in the beginning and posted videos of it being more stable yesterday.
 
You can't hate toto you can only like him a little more each day.

not sure if oled can save the game from bad artstyle and super short draw distance.

But you know you are in the extreme minority with thinking the artstyle is bad. You know this. It would be ridiculous to cater their artstyle to you and the handful of other people that don't like it. This is not to even mention that you aren't saying you don't like the artstyle - you are outright saying it's "bad" which is absolutely insane. I've seen areas where the draw distance is completely fine. Some of the pictures we see clearly use fog as an atmospheric effect. Now they may, in some instances, use it to render less, but I wouldn't say all of it is for this reason.
 
You're not the first person I read complaining about that but it seemed easy to me. Just stay in the middle of the garbage?
Yeah, it's easy enough to work out what to do... but there are moments where movement of the garbage is erratic and that makes it a pain.

Come on VanWinkle, you have discussed this issue with him like a thousand times already. He won't stop ramming his "opinions" down our throats on every single page.

Yes i am that guy :P

Played some LBP,Rayman and Wipeout. I saw all the footage from the PS3 in all those years. And it is pretty fun how well it works on vita! :D
 
that sounds nice but is it really 2gb+ for a small PSN game like that?

crazy

largest DL game i own is about a gig tops

its the one reason i wont ever buy Atelier Totori either

Yep, the update patches are a beast. Game is originally ~800MB, and they take it to a little over 2GB, lol. Was quite the surprise.

I buy pretty much every game that appeals to me because I love using the hardware. Hotline Miami is my 54th Vita game, but I'll probably buy Epic Mickey before the end of the evening.

54? Not bad. I have 75. Not counting PS Mobile. I think we have a problem.
Too many good games

What the hell, lol? No wonder some of you go so hard for vita.

Oh man, the lock bit on top of my Hori grip broke. It fits back on but it just flys off if you move it. It was just in a bag with my laptop. :/ Tempted to pick up the trigger grip now.

Also OMG HD Zombies is really fun but... those loading times are all over the place. Sometimes it just loads quickly, other times it can take 30-50 seconds to load the upgrades screen or something. It gets kind of annoying having to put my Vita down while it loads.

Hey I even have about 20 on 3DS, and WELL over 150 on PS3 (combining retail and digital of course).
 
I may be getting a Vita tomorrow!!!

Guy on craigslist is selling cheap.

Any tips on how to not get murdered over a craigslist trade?

Bought mine from craiglist, just make sure its a public place and if its his house that someone is waiting in your car in case anything happens.
 
Besides being a nifty port with some free DLC, SFxT also has some other stuff that works well on the platform. Messing around with character palettes and gem setups can help kill time, and four-player scramble matches scratch the same itch SFA3 Max's Dramatic/Reverse Dramatic battles did for me on PSP.

Is it free if you purchase the game via cart?
 
Awesome thanks for the information.

No problem. We try to be free with the information here, even if sometimes you get some random opinionated text with it. ;)

There was a huge fiasco with the DLC originally... I was there day one and it was total bullshit. But on the Vita cart/download, it's bundled with the extra fighters for sure... if you buy retail, you should get a voucher for the 12-characters on PS3. It may even come with one of the costume packs, but don't quote me on that.

I just remember I did the math originally and it was around $35 in DLC that was included ($20 for characters, $12 for costumes maybe?)... I ended up buying it because I wanted the DLC characters and costumes and figured "Hey, even if I sell the game later, I only paid $5 out of pocket for all this DLC instead of $30+."

Ya I wish I didn't sell my Vita last fall. I missed this thread. Everyone is actually nice. Thats a shit ton for DLC.

we met up at a starbucks and it went very smooth. Had a coffee and chatted for a few.


TL:DR

I didn't get murdered!
 
Gonna chime in to say that I'm really liking Jacob Jones. It's really cute and the 3D animations are surpsisingly well done. I expected a lot less from a $3 game, but it's actually one of the better puzzle/Layton-esque games I've played.
 
I got goosebumps guys.

Finished persona 4 for reals this time. I wish it wasn't over :( I miss the gang already.

I can quite safely say that is the best portable game I've ever played and in the top 10 games I've played in my life overall.

Thank you to the people who pushed me to get it instead of soul sacrifice. I'm so glad I did. It is a reason to own a vita and a true system seller for me.

Now then....

Persona 5 pls?

Question: Did you actually finish it? True ending and all. Either way if you miss the gang there's Persona 4 Arena which continues the story. Kind of dissapointing IMO, but not bad by any means.

well I saved Marie, and had valentines day then said my goodbyes. Is that the right ending?

I've had it on the backburner since... March, maybe? I just can't get myself to complete the dungeons. If Persona 5 ever does happen, I hope they mix up the combat system a little - or reduce the amount of encounters and floor per dungeon. Something. Anything to reduce the amount of time I have to spend doing junk that isn't story/social link/character related.
 
Eugh...

I don't know if I want to tbh. I feel like... I dunno I don't wanna ruin the experience I had.

Reminds me, where sells the soundtrack?

Well that's your call, but you didn't find out what was really going on. You're missing a key part of the puzzle. Again it's up to you, but you're missing the true ending.

Hmm. Well I want to do a second playthrough soon for trophies so ill probably follow a guide and make sure to get that ending then :)

What exactly carries over to new game plus?

Your Persona Compedium, your money, the items that Daidara sells remain and the items you got from the max social links (which in turn allow you to summon new personas) all carry over. In NG+ you also have an additional optional boss just before the true ending as well as the ability to shift the difficultly of the game whenever you want.
Edit: Oh also your social stats
 
just got my PDP grips in the mail

the grips themselves feel excellent, really make the system way more comfortable to hold

the triggers... i'm not sold on. it's a shame, because i want triggers instead of the l/r buttons but they don't feel 100% for some reason. gonna try em on a few more games and see how they fel.

on an unrelated note, i wish i started P4G on easy. i've had to use a few goho-m's to make my way through yukiko's castle and i'm only playing on normal :/

hmm the PDP trigger grips... be careful. the grip surfacing can be scratched off :/
 
Jak 3 almost plat! For the second time

I assume you've gone through 1 and 2 as well? How were the vita versions over all? How's the framerate hold up in 2 and 3?

I caved and bought the collection along side Hotline Miami and Muramasa, so I'm hoping the port issues aren't too damning.

Top of the page: Buy Ys: The Oath in Felghana or else you're a disappointment to all gaming kind.

I'm just about finished with Jak 1 and I have to say it was pretty jarring at first since I'm a framerate freak. However, I got used to it and Ive almost beaten the game so take that as you will. I've heard jak 2 and 3 are ok on framerate except in the city where it really tanks.


Also ive been playing that new Cytus game on Playstation Mobile and its so awesome!
I just got a perfect score on the song DRG (which is a 7 in the game on hard mode)
