Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | August 2013 | Divekicks & Dragons

Hey guys, a little LTTP with Guacamelee here. So I bought the game on Vita and then went to DL on PS3 since it is Cross-buy. All is well and good but I have this PS3 Vita version sitting on my PS3 which I didn't intend on DLing. Does this need to be there? If so, what is it for? If I click on the bubble for it it says to connect the Vita to the PS3 and use Content Manager. Thx.

It's for installing Guacamelee on your PSVita if you didn't have your Vita download it already.

If you already have Guacamelee on your Vita, you can delete it.

you must have downloaded the vita game to your ps3. it asks to connect the vita because it thinks you want to put it on your vita.
 
No they don't.

They don't?

Valkyria Chronicles II is just under £5 on sale, so I grabbed it. Final Fantasy Tactics is just under £4 too, not sure if I should pick it up or not...
 
They don't in Europe. How long has this been a thing in the US? Is this a recent update or something? If you've had this for any decent amount of time I'm calling so much bullshit. This isn't even remotely fair.

Yeah I was just going to say I don't remember it ever not being there.
Some region exclusive stuff is so strange with them
 
Sony needs to make their store like Microsoft in the next Gen. One font for all stores, no differences depending on the region you life in. Same Sales world wide. Things like that really annoys me on my PS3 and Vita.

Wait, really? How does Sony expect you to know if you have enough space to download the game on your Vita then? Can you post a screenshot of what the EU store looks like?
 
You can find the download size on the web store at the bottom of the details pane on the left.

Yep, I use the web store all the time because the Vita sore is so un-intuitive. It really would be nice if the Vita was at least presentable enough to be my go to rather than the web store.
 
I can't stop playing Sonic All stars racing. It's a shame that the online is completely dead, really hoping it goes up on plus soon. Maybe that will boost the online community.

It's been like that since release. I think you guys had screenshots before us though.
 
What the hell, I checked the Vita store earlier and there was no new games. Just checked again and there's Die!Die!Die!, Ms Germinator, Floating Cloud God Saves the Pilgrims in HD!, BreakQuest and Deathmatch Village.

wtf is that first one btw

Let me know how it is - loved VC1.
Will do! Haven't played much yet. There seems to be more... visual novel-y stuff, so far.

Yep, it's kind of wierd that it's still that way. You have to google or ask an american if you want to know if you have enough space for a game.
 
Muramasa or Dragons Crown..decisions, decisions.

Havent played Muramasa, but can't go wrong with DC. In fact, from what I have heard you can't go wrong with either :P

I think DC would be better if you are looking for a more rpg/loot fix.

Yeah, I'd prefer a more RPG style game. But Muramasa is so beautiful. ;_;
 
I'd totally get Rayman Origins at it's current price if I didn't suspect that it'll go free on PS+ soon. Hm..


That reminds me, I have to replay Gravity Rush. Kat is such a cool character.

I still haven't finished it. I started getting bored after the part in the hole w/ the
village of children.

I really doubt it will go for free so soon after a sale. I don't recall that happening before. Perhaps at the end of the year or early 2014.

Also, which was the last Ubisoft game for go for free on PS Plus? I don't recall them supporting Plus that much, if at all.
 
Dragon's Crown, getting my head around the various mechanics, got to play for about an hour or so but I am enjoying it a lot, excited to carry on with the game but don't want to make sure I'm not just playing on auto and actually doing things properly. Surprisingly good combat.

Buy sly on ps3 for £9.99 get vita version free

Good tip! I already bought it a while back for £20 for both versions digitally and I thought that was a steal. Was just shocked it was so slow, it's a great game.
 
Guys, obvious but I really recommend you include these recent games in your library:

Killzone Mercenary
- jawdrapping graphics, excellent gameplay, likely to be Vita's best title for now.

Dragon's Crown
- amazing what they can do with a sidescroller - diverse and fluid combat system, rpg type world with fantastic designs in both levels and things like map transitions, and lots of neat things [surprise animated story stuff, things to do with items and upgrades] and I've only played like an hour. The game world feels complete and lively with the music and narration too. You'll love returning to the genre if you haven't for a while!

oh sorry, the tits are nice too, nice little bonus while walking around

Pixel Junk Monsters HD
- brilliant tower defence game with a lot packed in including a random level generator! But the game is great for a change of pace. You won't be able to just coast through it but the game sets up challenges for you as you progress (nice world maps with fractured paths) so you learn the mechanics. First TD that made me feel like I was really learning strategies with each map.

All quality titles and highly enjoyable. Back to DC...not to rub it in guys, but at least you have some games to get :P
 
Gave myself a birthday present today:


Downloading Gravity Rush and Uncharted thanks to PS+.

All that's missing is a Killzone: Mercenary beta code lol.

I have that $30 eShop credit (that I haven't redeemed yet since nothing on the 3DS eShop interests me) so I may try to trade that with someone for $30 PSN credit and buy Hotline Miami and Gucamelee.

I also will be picking up a copy of DJ Max Technika. Need some rhythm game in my life!

So excited for KZ:M's multiplayer. Ahhhhhhh!

Haha don't worry you'll be busy and having a lot of fun till it comes out, easily! Should be able to get a code for the bigger beta in a little while as well, have fun and welcome! And of course happy birthday!
 
It seems I've been away for some time from the Vita threads lately fellow GAFfers, I hope you are all having fun.

I decided to try Unit 13 and it seems I'm bad at those missions with the Timers, the rest are okay (the High Value Target ones can be a bit harsh too). At the same time I've been doing one level here and there on Rayman Origins only to find out I'm terrible at these kind of games. Still, the gameplay on the Vita Screen is so mesmerizing...

I guess I need game to relax so I can't wait for the HD Versions of the Final Fantasy games. I want to get them in Physical form since my card is getting full quite fast lately. I wonder if we are getting a PS Vita Case and how it's going to be: One case with 2 games or Two cases with one game in each. Either way I need those two games for nostalgia and relaxing purposes (Loved the clean menus, need more of that soundtrack).

I've been lurking the Killzone Beta thread, since I do not have a Code (Europe here) and the game looks great, however it seems that the screen is pretty "full" with all that HUD. Hope I'm wrong.

Dragon's Crown was released but not in here, however a local store manage to import a couple of copies for 41€ and it took them one day to be all sold out... Guess I'll wait then.

Getting Killzone, both FF HD and Dragon's Crown this year would be amazing. Let's see how the poor wallet handles this.

I will try to report in here more often since my fellow Vita-Bros have always been so kind to me. Thanks for reading!
