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

No internet at home currently; browsing GAF at work lol. I got $8.86 that burning a hole in my PSN wallet. I'll either buy this or Spelunky. Btw, how much will that game cost?

I would definitely go with Spelunky then. It will cost $11.99 for Plus subscribers, 14.99 is the regular price.
 
Alright, I am gonna add Spelunky to my-buy list.

I have no idea what the game is, totally buying this one because you folks seem so gleeful about it.

Hopefully you guys do not lead me astray on this one :P

Doubt you will regret Spelunky

but gah lol Vita sure makes me do a lot of impulse purchases
 
There's going to be heaps of Johnny Come latelies... Buying their vitas at their cheaper prices, with their discounted memory, with their flood of new games...

I better go and buy a Shield ;)

On a rather more serious point: As someone pointed out waaay earlier; LBP Vita is heavily discounted atm and I really want the game.

I've a sneaking suspicion that Sony are doing that 'discount the game they're about to add to their Instant Game Collection' thing again...

Should I buy it or take a gamble on scooping it up for free?

I would say there is an 80% chance of LBP Vita going free on IGC before the end of the year.

Hmmmmmm........... is there a strong precedent for this?
 
You can disable the gyro stuff in DW Next and have it controlled with buttons instead. Touch screen stuff is always on though.
 
Welcome Calder!
Buy P4G >=0

I'm such an idiot, I didn't even look at the games when I was in the store.

I'll pick up something tomorrow. Likely P4G, it's a major reason I got a Vita, but I also really want Dragons Crown. Tonight I'm still just downloading all the Plus free games and random cross buy PSN purchases I made in the past. I know everyone says this but...HOLY SHIT at having a Vita and PS+. This almost seems unfair lol.


One oddity, my Walking Dead download code doesn't work.
 
Do any of my Vitabros have an extra Killzone code for a fella? Don't have plus yet. Waiting for a special between now and November.
 
I was wondering, does anyone actually hold the Vita by the little hand grip indentions while playing?

P.S. my index fingers rest right behind the triggers. My middle and ring fingers rest across the rear touch pad and my thumbs are on the sticks. My pinkys rest underneath it, kinda holding it up.
 
I bought Final Fantasy Tactics from the Euro sale. Looks a wee bit fuzzy though on the Vita. FMV's, some of the text and the sprites don't look too sharp.

Can't complain too much for £4, but it's dented my nostalgia filled memories. lol.
 
I need some Vita bros :)

My PSN tag is ScareGoat. Playing a lot of Divekick, Rayman Origins and trying to get into the Killzone beta -- having trouble getting used to the Vitas sticks for shooters right now.

Edit: I'm having my Vita glued to my hands when Spelunky comes out.
 
Is it possible to earn trophies on a JPN game on an NA account? I got a used physical copy of Dokuro a few months ago and can't get trophies on it. Says it's not eligible in the game information... is it because it's used or because it's JPN?
 
Managed to get two matches going in UMvC3. Got my ass handed to me. The match started and I literally could not do a single move until all of my characters were dead. #neveragain.

Used game. Remove the bubble and install the game again.

Format the Vita game card. Nothing to do with it being a JPN game, only that it's Used.

You could just ask people to play here. I bought the game this week but I'm total garbage at Marvel.
 
Wait what's this used thing? Does this affect other games/carts?

Yes. It affects every physical copies of games.

It is just that the carts save a little bit of the previous user's info on them, so when you buy a used game, if a message pops up, just delete the game bubble and reinsert it to remove the previous user's info.
 
Everyone, please feel free to add my PSN username! I'll be happy to help you boost for online trophies, if I have the game and you need assistance. I'm just sitting in bed, recovering from abdominal surgery, so I'm available practically all day. I haven't started Dragon's Crown, yet, but I'd also be willing to kick it with some people on there. I'm second on the spreadsheet, my PSN ID is same as my GAF username.

I just started re-playing P4G in earnest. Picked up my previous game on May 7th. I love the game, I don't know why it's such a grind to get me to play it. I love the aesthetic, the music, the ideas, the battle system. I think the dungeons scare me away a bit, I'm trying to do so much social link stuff and quests, build up my characteristics, and I don't really level in dungeons at all. I also don't buy any items from shops or anything, because I feel like my money is limited and I don't want to miss out on books or beef bowl opportunities. Am I not playing correctly? The last time I was in a dungeon
saving Yukiko
, I really struggled to finish because I didn't have any way to recover my MP.

And I really don't even know where to begin, as far as registering skill cards or making new Persona. I'm afraid to do it with guys I've been using and leveling. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated. I really don't like missing stuff, I'm trying to do everything I can and I'm paranoid I'm going to screw up at some point of no return.

I swear I did every time 'cause I was just deleting it and then reinstalling it immediately. I just put the card in now and it's eligible. I dunno.

Thanks anyway, guys. At least I know now.

Well, maybe you removed the cart before the bubble has finished deleting. iirc, the cart has to be in the system until the bubble deletion is finished.

As you get intimate with people the Slink rise, and fusing more personas becomes the clear option. You don't want to stick to just one persona unless you want a special skill that they get at a later level. Don't be afraid to fuse because you get to choose which skills transfer to a new persona, making the new one a bit better than the two you used to fuse it. Also be weary of weaknesses and repels. Getting something such as dark jack (or evil jack, wavered) gives you a persona without any weaknesses and with great fire/ice attacks.

As for getting MP, buy stuff from the soda machine in the shopping market. The soda restores small amounts of MP. As you continue there will be more ways to restore MP. Also, don't forget that by drawing a card with a blue cup you get some MP back after a match.
