Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | October 2013 | Ver 2000, Batman and some Angry Birds

How bad is Airmail? I bought P4G from shop4.es.com and I want to play it noooow! But they ship from UK and use that company...

I don't know how airmail is for other countries, but it can take anywhere from 10 days to 3 weeks for things to get here to Australia.
 
DC suffers from many issues beyond it's highly awful repetitive nature which -to be honest-is normal for this sort of games, first the story is shit they didn't even try, this is Vanillaware and story should be something even if small but no they dropped the ball here and made the entire thing less interesting, now the core gameplay , while there are tons of attacks and skills and powers fighting enemies is just not that fun, it's like playing shooter with badass shootguns versus bland cardboard Nazis, and it's very highly unbalanced since for all the class early skills make you overpowered as fuck (I guess because they want you to replay forever with hard mode or whatever but for first play-through this is a huge mistake), continue to the level design, I don't like Murumasa but those level were beautiful..now here? generic crap level that bored me to tears same with the music in this big turd, I mean what the hell just happened to Vanillaware? it's like they focused too much on the fighting system and forget absolutely everything else.

it's just sad that Vanillaware who made fantastic games like Grim Grimoire and the amazing Odin Sphere now made awful games like Muramasa and Dragon's Crown, the studio clearly have problems and need to learn from fans feedback or get a new director on board.

but funny enough, it's one of the Vita games I have that my coworker didn't want to "try for few days" after seeing it in the office.

Seems like an overly harsh critique. I have to respectfully disagree entirely.

I do appreciate you going into detail about your opinion on the game. I know you are known for being scathing and critical but man I really hope there continue to be games that you can enjoy without feeling the need to rip them apart.
 
I enjoyed Killzone Mercenary way too late into the morning today on my shiny new Vita, thanks to the recommendation in this (and the other threads) so cheers guys.

I'm pretty god awful at it, but it really is pretty to look at and its probably the best experience I've had with touch controls to date. Hacking is needlessly annoying though.

Anyway its changed my sitting on the fence about getting its big brother on PS4 from a "maybe" to a "definite", happily just as the bundles go live on amazon.

Well, Spain was near to Uk than Australia last time I saw a map, and it says 7-10 days..So I'll just feel desperate while waiting.

Ok, and I've just finished U2. Great Indiana Jones film, too much shooting. For me the game gets really good after the train chapters, when you awake in that mountain village. Most of the first half seemed like a 4 hours filler to me.

Now I'll wait 40 hours while U3 is downloaded and instaled and play it. And then a LTTP post with my feelings about the whole saga.

When Gaikai launches, do you think we could get a control scheme like the one in GA? I don't think we'll get auto aiming (though I'd play the hell out of Uncharted if they add it, but I don't want L2 and R2 to be mapped in the rear touchpad. I'd die lots of times throwing granades directly to my face.
 
Dear vitabros and vitagals,

My Vita was stolen by a mover while they were unpacking my stuff on Wednesday. I realized this when they bought NFS:MW (I had 30 bucks of credit because I use PS cards instead of my credit card). What are my options? I doubt I can get it back although I'm pretty sure I can prove one of the movers stole it. I guess calling in to Sony and having it deactivated?

You can do it over the SEN Web-Interface, in the same menu, as you can add PSN Money and stuff like this.
 
Sorry to hear that. Any idea how they knew your password to buy nfsmw?

Goodluck, and yeah I'd call sony. Might need to file a police report, not had experience with it myself.
 
You should probably contact the moving company as well, if you used one. It doesn't seem right that he could just up and take your stuff.

Just report it. Even if you can pay another, that guy should be fired / told off for what he has done. If you can get you Vita, nice. If you can't at least he will be punished.

Is not as if he stole something valuable because of necesity. He is a jerk that just stole a handheld and is playing it.

If you can use the account as a proof, you shouldn't deactivate it. If you can prove that it was stolen without that, just do it. Maybe it's a good time for buying your back-up OLED Vita xD

You would think ignoring the hack would make you stop reading his stupid diatribe, but no... people keep quoting his ignorant ass...
 
Decided to scale down my Vita 2000 Import craziness.

3x PS Vita 2000 (White, light blue, khaki)@18995 each: 56 985
1x Black Hard case: 1050
3x Soft cases (White, light blue, khaki)@1282 each: 3846
1x 64GB memory card: 85 550
2x Screen film @645 each: 1935

Should get to my door with 2-4 day air shipping for $800ish.

Anyone really dig the Lime Green one? I figure we will at least get the Black/Black model here in the US.

3 vitas but 1 memory card

what the heck?
 
Sony just deactivated and refunded the purchase at least. They can't give out any info unfortunately. So now on to the movers! I'm so salty about it too man, I don't have internet until Sunday and I was getting ready to finish Golden.
 
a question re KZM:

I've heard it's quite short. I'm really not an online player, is it worth the money for SP only?

I haven't played any online and I found it well worth it. And it has great replay value with the different objectives you can undertake for the same mission. Its very addictive.

cool thank you.

I've liked the last two on ps3 and am enjoying this shiny new vita so it sounds like I ought to get it.

thanks for the help.

Anyway its changed my sitting on the fence about getting its big brother on PS4 from a "maybe" to a "definite", happily just as the bundles go live on amazon.

are the bundles up? I can't see them on search at the mo.
 
Did you complete hell (special ending) or just Olmec in 4-4?

Only normal thats for sure! It's my first time actually clearing the game.

I only did it using shortcuts. Though I'm proud that I managed to unlock the Temple shortcut because carrying that key was a pain in the butt!

Now I need to learn to play the game all the way through from the beginning before thinking about the special ending!

Not sure how the technology works, but can the Vita be found via IP trace? If that's the case, tell that to the moving company and let them know that unless the Vita is returned, you can easily track it down.

This is probably a decent topic for the off-topic board... I'm sure legal/tech GAF can give some good advice.

Call them and tell them that anyway!

Say you expect the Vita returned to you and if it doesn't you're going to give the location details to the police and the company details for enabling them.
 
Can't wait for Batman. I just need that and Rayman Legends and I'm set for the rest of 2013 with my Vita.

It's still FIFA that gets 90% of my playtime, though. Even with EA treating the platform like a joke. At least we got a FIFA, though.
 
Thank you, will do.

Roundly beaten there, but yep clumsy and not particularly easy to spot but completed it easy enough once found. With thanks to StuBurns in the other thread.

I hadn't had the email confirming this since my pre-order was from 11th June, but they took the order number nevertheless and hope that I'll be early enough to grab one.

Went for the KZ+DS4+Camera bundle, even though its not the £429 we'd hoped its still a pretty good saving. High hopes for KZ based on the fun I've had with Mercenaries and the general sentiment among the forum regarding the previous games (especially online).
 
Guys, quick question: Crash, Spyro or Ridge Racer Type-4?

I've only played Crash 2 and one Spyro game I don't remember but was cool. Didn't play any RR.
 
Page 4?

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Midterms week will be finally over after today (except for one more easy exam on Monday). I think I might actually be able to play my Vita for the first time in a while today. How bad is that Valhalla Knights game that went free on US PSN?
 
You cats shouldn't be allowed to talk about Dragon's Crown before the 11th. The wait is killing me.

Oh, really?
Well then... I'll just leave this here.

Taking a long flight tomorrow. Thank god I have a vita. I intend to finish up killzone on the flight, and maybe a little of sly4. Life's good.

RR Type 4 was one of the ps1's best racers. Game still holds up on the Vita. Sweet soundtrack too.
