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

I find the post release support for DC to be bizarre. It's not like the game has had great legs, they aren't selling any DLC for the game and as much as I enjoyed it, it doesn't have the greatest word of mouth going for it.

Personally I wish Vanillaware would stop supporting it and get to work on whatever is next but I say this as somebody who has already platinumed the game :lol

Vanillaware still owes people the Muramasa Rebirth DLC, and that game came out like 8 months ago in Japan, lol.
 
Finally got around to playing Killzone a bit more ( single player)
Damnit...I'm so impressed by everything in this game. The gameplay is fantastic, the weapon/gear system is great and the missions are amazing. Everything is so well presented..the briefings..the sound...everything is stellar.
My only complain is the dodgy framerate....other than that, HUGE props to guerrilla.

Do we know if the team behind it is gonna develop another title for Vita?

Awh... It only came out last Wednesday down here...

I'm enjoying it though :)

Guerrilla CAMBRIDGE made the game.

And yes, most likely they'll make another Vita game as they've been working on portables for some time now.

Same with BEND, who made U:GA
 
Wait valhalla knights 3 is releasing in NA in 3 days!
Who plans to buy it? I would like to import it but it got many free dlcs, i have to wait for the EU release... :(
Is there an OT?

Based on what I've played so far of VK1, Im buying VK3. I really like the real time combat and being able to avoid enemies. Seeing as as VK3 continues that, Ill gladly buy a copy.

honestly - i was really interested and was going to buy it... but the VK that was released for free recently turned me off to the series :/

Opposite for me, already put 6hrs+ into the game. Really is grindy but fun in a way. My only problem is the AI partners, Im stuck trying to level a mage I made.

I'm getting it probably, but don't plan on playing it anytime soon. :\
 
It's great they are improving DC! stick your platinum ... :p complaining when a vita game actually gets patches :p

Exactly. It's not like they're wasting huge amounts of resources with these patches either. And from my experience, other than Toto, most people rave about Dragon's Crown. It's at least in my top 10 of 2013, if not my top 5. It's good to see it get support.

I forget that sometimes.

For good reason, I think. It's forgettable content, by all accounts. Even Vanillaware has forgotten about it. :lol
 
By the way frost, baekshi, and agent your soul sacrifice saves aren't going to load apparently the update mess them up but we'll see a patch soon. The strange thing is that the patch has been available in japan for a while but for some reason SCEA didn't include it.

I really really gotta get back to playing that.

I've been so lazy lately though.

Wait, what?

Load where? They loaded last night when we played?
 
I just checked its not. I knew this was going to happen since we didn't go straight to 1.31

check it out here:
http://www.jp.playstation.com/scej/online/vcjs15004.html

If Google translated this correctly it seems like the patch is going to hit 19 days later....

Thats from Aug 20...in Japan. They received the 1.30 at the start of august and 1.31 on Aug 20 so thats like 19 days right? . I believe the US patch has it all fixed.

Yeah.

We already patched to 1.30 and were able to load and play the new quests.
I just checked, my save loads fine.

The only issue I've noticed is that sometimes the network stability seems to have taken a hit...

Mines doesn't load at all. I tweet some of those PSN guys and ask for about the 1.31 patch....

That's so weird , they should have patched it all in

Its working fine for me though, just loaded it.

edit:
maybe this would explain network errors and people having different versions?

All of the Soul Sacrifice stuff is making me want it, but I really didn't like the demo at all. :(

You're not the only one. I played the demo and really enjoyed the setting and presentation, but found the gameplay completely uninteresting. I tried really hard to like the game, but eventually gave up before even finishing the demo.

And I'm a big fan of Inafune so this was particularly hard to stomach.
 
How long it will take to see the fruits of that localization team that Sony created?

SCEA/SCEE localized/localised Malicious Rebirth (probably Malicious as well). To me that was a bit of a stealth job...But with that and Soul Sacrifice, I'd say they are more than capable and I hope they do more!

Considering what (I think) I know of your opinion on Monster Hunter, I remember you saying this and it doesn't surprise me. Don't force yourself.

What? I think he was asking about the new team headed by Gio Corsi.
So if that's what you're talking about, then you're telling me that the Gio Corsi team that was announced all of a month or two ago not only is responsible for Malicious Rebirth coming to NA/EU (I could sort of buy this) but that they were responsible for Soul Sacrifice coming west as well?

I somehow doubt Gio Corsi's team had anything to do with Soul Sacrifice.

I'm a big "hunting genre" fan and I bought it at release and couldn't enjoy it. Also liked the setting and presentation but wasn't having fun with the gameplay. Super weird but true :/
 
should I risk getting everybody's golf and littlebigplanet? how big's the chance of it becoming the yearly titles which replace uc and gravityrush?
otherwise you guys got any recommendations for psn titles around ~$15?

Nobody knows.
Your guess is as good as mine.
The real answer here is: If you're interested in a game and see it at a price you're willing to pay, buy it -- and if it comes to PS+ later? Oh well. Unless you paid full price today and it's free on PS+ tomorrow, don't worry about it.
 
fair enough, ps+ has sorta made me scared to buy games haha :P

Oh, I know the feeling.

It doesn't help for me that I buy the games I want if they're reasonably priced and then have them come to PS+... so my value add for the service is really minimal in terms of free titles.
However, in the case of this month, I'm more than glad I purchased Hotline Miami and Sine Mora to support developers and games I care about. Same with Rayman Origins. Sure, it sucks I could've gotten them free, but I take solace in the fact that I supported good games, I own them forever regardless of my PS+ status, and I got to play them MONTHS earlier.
 
I have no problem with paying for games I like or want to support. If it ends up on ps+, cool for anybody that hasn't played it.

But PS+ games I want to show up are games I'm on the fence about and couldn't either find the right time or reason to purchase it.


Anyway, I finally started unlocking VLR endings. 5 unlocked so far. So things are back to being interesting. I'm surprised at the amount of passwords you will need to write down. It's a good thing vita has a screenshot so I can easily access them later. But my battery just drains playing this game. I have to wait now til I can continue. ;_;


On a side note about battery life, the vita travel battery pack was of good use to me going back home and traveling across the pacific. I had charged it a couple weeks before and I thought about charging it again before I left but I didnt need to. It held it's charge, which was good. And once my vita was at low levels it only took maybe 90min to 2 hours before it got charged back to full battery status icon. So it made my 10+ hour flight to and from that much more manageable. And helped me get through jetlag that much easier.
 
bahh what the hell is with the australian psn store, I thought it mirrored europe's one? but quite a few titles seem unavailable for australia :(

Since there's a "Vanillaware is shitty" thread with a weird reason for the cancellation of the Grand Knights History, I went and searched back about a post Kamitani made on why it didn't get released.

Along the way, I found a comment of him saying that they already started working on their new game but that there's nothing to present to the public. Which kinda makes sense, since they probably just started.

I still wish they do release the Muramasa DLCs, but I wouldn't be sad if they don't. Mainly because the Vita version would be the first time I'd be playing the game.

In Amazon (at least .es) you can buy Everybody's / Hot Shots Golf with a 16gb memory card. So think about that too.

I somehow doubt Gio Corsi's team had anything to do with Soul Sacrifice.

Sorry, I figured the comment I quoted had to do with a SCEA team formed to localize Japanese games. I thought such a team was talked about before Gio Corsi's team popped up with the reveal of Borderlands 2. If a "Japanese game localizing team" was never a thing, sorry to add confusion. Maybe it was all in my head @_@

The Corsi team, I assumed, focused on Western games/games not needing extensive localizing that fans pitched. Basically people's "dream games" they wanted to see on Vita...your Borderlands 2 and your...Borderlands...2? ;D

Awesome, can't wait to see what they came up with next!

I really really gotta get back to playing that.

I've been so lazy lately though.

Do it buddy you won't regret it!
The missions are so well crafted, and the awesome weapons and gadgets really add variety. I'm still not finished with the campaign and I already want to replay it with different playstyles!
 
Ok, so I've just reach lvl 9 in Chie's Social Link and make the obvious choice (cause she is awesome and miles better than Yukiko ). I imagine every girl in the game lets you choose between waifu / friend, right?

Is there really any difference if you choose one or another? Did the last SL event change in any way? Has any real consequence cheating? I remember in P3P there was a awkward scene in the infirmary where the girls came to see you at the same time, but nothing happened after that.

And last question. Is there anything to do with Maxed Social Links? In P3 once you maxed it hanging out with them felt like a waste of time.

I still haven't seen Rise. So the fight was between Chie, Yukiko and the Cultural Club. I've just finished the second dungeon
and I'm still wondering if Kanji is gay or simply confused xD. Still, everything around him being kidnapped was pretty fun to see, games normally don't do usually talk about that kind of stuff
.

Still, it's quickly becoming my fav JRPG ever (maybe even my favorite game), so I'll probably start other playthough, especially if there is a NG+ feature. So i'll probably try to act differently every time and see what happens.

US push back? They still list it for November.
 
Loving persona 4 golden so far. In the middle of may. I like the way its split up in to days, makes decent hand held material.

Tried VLR and did the first escape. Im not sure I'll bother playing this, its not really my cup of tea. I hoped it was something more like Hotel Dusk and Last Window but its not, oh well.
 
Also, Ragnarok Odyssey Ace would be launched this fall, no? We have no news too.

Koei Tecmo: Let's not advertise Atelier on Vita and just release it. I bet that would make everyone talk about it.

Others: Goddamn. Everybody's talking about Atelier and they didn't do advertisement! Let's surprise-release, too!!

j/k
 
Looking to take advantage of the $50 get $10 back deal. Was going to get Wolf Among Us season. Thinking of getting Walking Dead vita, especially in honor of premiere tonight. Over/under on it being on sale in some Halloween sale this soon?

Didn't it sell crazy amounts in Japan? It sold something like 350k combined (?) and I remember reading it was their most successful game in Japan or something.
