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

I made a Yoshitsune once, after laughing banana mention it...
Not sure about invincible.
If I had made that, I wouldn't be rocking my level 85 Trumpeter as default, I'd wager.

Details, please?



SLink MAX trophy is one playthrough (they don't carry) and sort of a pain, even with a guide -- I'm using one, but I'm already making several deviations and hoping they pay off (the guide was written for someone who hadn't maxed all the traits like courage, so I'm doing some things like skipping the jobs that increase those and trying to do nanako/dojima SLinks in their place... it's funny because I'm in June and nanako's SLink 7 was supposed to occur in October in the guide and I already have it. I've been holding off on reading books until I can get the hyper speed reading book again in August...)

Another side note I forgot to mention above -- since you carry money and Daidara's stock over to NG+, you can buy the same weapons/armor you had from the end of your last run IMMEDIATELY pretty much. I have MC/Chie/Yosuke/Yukiko all running with the top weapons i had and top armor. It's amusing like you wouldn't believe. Pretty much everything dies in 1 hit. ;)

--

This reminds me -- heckmanimation -- if you want to play P4G but don't feel the need to be challenged by the battles and don't like grinding, if you're not very far, start over and put it on easy or very easy. You'll thank me later -- then you too can be level 30 and flying through the dungeons in the blink of an eye.

I recommend playing on easy. Its what I'm doing. Have never had to grind (but I still had to be tactful and fight the monsters I encountered).
 
Should SCE decide on reviving some of their old IPs for the Vita?

Not just some ports or hd remaster... I am talking more of a new title or a reboot (the same kind as the latest Tomb Raider). I was asking myself the question because I've been playing MediEvil lately and I really like the feel and mood of the game. Although, I might have change a few mechanics regarding the gameplay, but all in all the game is still awesome despite its age.

A lot of its aesthetic shares similarities with The Nightmare before Christmas, ParaNorman (as of late) and this specific image of Kingdom Hearts, part of a promotional artwork (which is also the cover art of KH1). This game could have been SCE's Legend of Zelda due to its rich and unique universe and intriguing backstory and lore.

 
Just sold that $30 eShop credit I had to a fellow GAF'er for a $20 PSN card...and I just finished downloading Guacamelee and Hotline Miami! Can't wait to dive into these 2.

Excited for the KZ:M open beta as well! TOO excited, lol.

when does the beta go live? i have a code from the E3 Home thing.
 
If you have anything bad to say about Totori please do. I'm trying to resist buying. I'm supposed to be saving myself for Meruru. Don't want to have an affair with Totori and then try to beg Meruru for forgiveness.

Sorry, haven't started it yet and probably won't for awhile -- working on trying to get NG+/Platinum run done in P4G so I can get the 3.1gb back on my card that P4G is occupying.
 
I just saw the new...Pets game on the Vita. Not sure how I feel about this. Initially, I was like LOL..but then, I recalled that Vita is sorely lacking in games that appeal to the non-hardcore.

However, I'm not certain if the non-hardcore will buy a Vita just for this, since most of them are already using tablets, phablets and/or smartphones.

But as usual, this is Sony....they like diversity in their library. Not just shooters, d00bros, shooters, shooters.
 
How do I move all my content from one Vita memory stick to another? Specifically, my saved data. You just re-download the games on the new one I imagine.

Edit: Herp, just read the data transfer to PC guide.

Honestly? I would buy it under the following conditions:

1. Not just dogs, but cats too please. Cats.
2. Don't make the animals talk for fuck's sake.

2825mb.

<3gb!

Do it!

I could have sworn it's around 3 GB like 3.1, but maybe I am misremembering things. Hmmm, I AM a big RPG sucker so maybe.... hmmm.
 
New question: If I do a backup of my 4 GB Memory card and then perform a restore to my new 32GB, that works right? It isn't going to fuck up?

I should have done that :/
bleh...

I am still sitting on SH: Book of Memories. lol
 
I bought my Vita 8 days before the price cut of the mega pack, I bought Guaccamelee 2 days before the euro sale deal. Nothing matters anymore! Time to buy games before a price cut!
I bought mine a couple of weeks after the stealth pricedrop here in Australia after saving up for my Vita for a couple of months.

Bit of a shame, that extra could have gone towards more Vita stuff. Ah well.
Cat people are the Vitabro community.
I'm more a dog person myself
But not the talking kind
 
I would not compare Dark Souls combat to Monster Hunter in any aspect as far as the combat goes. I bought MHFU for PSP to play on Vita because I thought they looked similar. They don't play/feel anything alike though, IMO.

They both have a slow (compared to many games with.. styrofoam swords) combat system that is very dependent on timing. Yes, of course they feel different, but the type of combat is very similar. Fighting monsters with swords (different classes), hammers, bow. Invincible rolls.

Brief impressions of a few games I picked up this week:

[*]Hotline Miami is awesome. Thinking of going for the platinum now that I've finished it... but struggling to get A+ even on the prologue![/list]

A+ is pretty much a given if you don't use Tony and finish everybody off (punch them to knock them down and then go up and kill them).
 
Can anyone check if they can connect their ps vita to the ps3 using the cable? Getting the unable to connect to ps3 error. PS3 is online. I have signed in also. Its on the same account as the PS Vita.

Been trying since morning. Its not working, Poor Atelier is stuck there, Cable works fine on the PC. Even copied some games back to PC to check!

EDIT: LOL tried the second USB slot on ps3 and its working!! Alteir is copying now! Will try the first slot later to confirm is the slot is busted or not.
 
A+ is pretty much a given if you don't use Tony and finish everybody off (punch them to knock them down and then go up and kill them).

The trick to getting A+ is just getting solid combos and weapon variety.
Using the mask for combo window+ helps you if you got some skill.
You can also use the faster walk speed to help the combo window, but that takes more adjustment and you need decent twitch reflexes.
 
I suck at fighting games, but considered me hyped. Loved the original Arena, but the massive delays PAL regions suffered left a sour taste in my mouth.

This was supposed to be in the Persona 4 Arena thread. LOL
 
Vita is like a 9/10 for me.

Wishlist includes
64gb card
Pick up and play sports games (ssx,skate,nhl,tiger woods)

Also have yet to pick up superstar delta cause i know its going to be a ps+ game.
 
Looking past the perversion, the gameplay screenshots of Criminal Girls actually looks really cool. Wonder if it's another Shinovi.
Reminds me of Corpse Party, actually.

Wow, so similar to Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient.

I need that game on my Vita so bad..
 
This preparing to download bug is so annoying. Does anyone know a way to fix it besides restarting your Vita?

Just bought Soul Sacrifice. I'm glad I waited for a sale.
 
Yeah. The Vita build quality is damn solid. I'd only wished for a HDMI out.


I have a friend who recently bought a Vita, Soul Sacrifice, DoA5+ and Muramasa's Rebirth...like 2 weeks right before the sale...ouch
 
Just a heads up to anyone looking for a case for their beloved Vitas.

Ebay item number: 200797869370

It is the Thurustmaster V.I.P. case. I used to have one but got stolen. It was insanely hard for me to find in my country, and this eBay seller ships worldwide. Just bought one from him.

I can definitely recommend this case. It is sturdy and not bulky at all.
 
Ok seriously holy shit. So i got $60 in psn cards for my sale purchases. My list is

Soul Sacrifice - i dont think i gave the demo a fair shake and have watched gameplay video that looks great

UMvsC3 - been waiting awhile for this to drop cheap digital

NLKS - same as above

Muramasa - utterly insane sale already that is just pure luck i didnt keep my preorder mere weeks ago.

Heres the holy shit part (crazy thats already a shitload of good games) i realized trying to make room on my 32gb card (some perspective, not gloating over you 4 - 8gb peasants really). I already have a crapload of good games backlogged still unbeaten and a few that are recent purchases.

Lego Batman 2 - like less then month ago.
Totori - full price digital like 2 months ago
Strangers Wrath - still havent even freaking clicked on start screen
Star Wars pinball tables

EDF Portable
Ass Creed Lib - STILL FREAKING ON HERE
Dokuro
VLR

That's a good list, and there's plenty more where that came from. Playing Rayman Origins now. Amazing value at $6.75.
 
Just started playing Thomas Was Alone on PC and it's kinda nice. Will double dip for the Vita version eventually. Honestly didn't know what to expect given the mixed feedback here but I think it's a decent puzzle/platformer. A little on the easy side but the presentation more than makes up for it. Love the music too.
 
Just found out that I was being called a "Hardcore Nintendo Guy" because I make a comment that I found the dogs talking in the newly announced Pets game for Vita is silly.

Goddamn I know that I shouldn't find comments like that annoy me so much, but for some reason I am disturbed by it.

Guess maybe I should just rescind my PS+ subscription that I just joined two days ago since I am a "Hardcore Nintendo Guy."

...God I am a bit pissed off right now.

laugh it away.. :P
 
I am somewhat annoyed that some of the games I purchased at full price are now being discounted, hahaha.......... :((

I think thats what irks me most about some of my purchases is i got them full price, still havent beat them and they go on sale. No more, im done with day one or full price purchases for rest of the year except KH HD 1.5 and FFX/X2 HD (ps3 and vita)

Oh and Disgaea D2, i have that preordered. Oh and Guided Fate Paradox.

Oh and Batman Origins Vita.

Oh and Batman Origins collectors, that Joker statue looks freaking awesome.

Other than those im done i tell you.

Oh Lego Marvel for the Iron Patriot fig

Oh I forgot Ys Celceta

but for real thats it.

Got this for my Vita. Was sleeping in my dorm bed about 10 feet off the ground. The case was open, I rolled and they both hit the concrete floor. Vita was unscathed. If you don't already have one, get it!
 
laugh it away.. :P

I am legitimately annoyed by it. Like, "Insert my fist through the monitor to punch the other guy" kind of annoyed.

*Sigh* It's silly, I know.

Yea its gonna happen, just don't think too much about it.

Makes me kind of.... want to evaluate my stance on the overall "wait for the sales to drop" thing for the games I really want, hahaha. I mean, seeing the discounted price for Dead or Alive 5 and Muramasa Rebirth kind of stung :(

I also got DoA5 and Muramasa for full price. But no regrets since I got those day one and I love those games. What annoys me is spending even a pittance on crap. Like paying $2.49 for Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess. I kick myself for that while the $45(?) I could've saved by not buying DoA5 and Muramasa right away doesn't bother me much.

I don't have my Vita right now, but add me at LaughingBanana.

Add me in the 3DS FC too while you're at it: 0688-6236-9566.

Anyways,

If Sony launch a 64 GB MC, how much the price is gonna be I wonder. I bought my 32GB MC for about... 80 bucks, so... double that? @_____@

Now what made you purchase stuff like that in the first place anyways, hahaha.
