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

I never said it was bad, I'm talking about things overall.

(Rise is still annoying as fuck in Japanese though)

Crap. I
just finished Kanji
she's coming up next. I was looking forward to finally meeting her. Guess I'll stick with Chie then.

Depends how much you like kugirie, although I don't like laura bailey's rise either so it's a loss-loss. Completely worth it to swap out new chie though.

I haven't played the original, so I can't compare but the new(?) Chie does a great job. She adds so many little nuances to Chie's pronunciation that she really comes off a believable character. She's still slightly edged out by Kanji and Amagi, but I felt it was a solid performance.

To each their own, I guess. ;D (I can't imagine FemShep as a high school student. Weird.)
 
*grins*

feel my pain

I just want to play the other stages on hard mode already ;'(

stuck in a nightmare atm :P

Well, if I could beat the twins, I'd comisserate with you. I had them down to a sliver, they somehow didn't die, then hit me like a sack of bricks and I couldn't repair.
 
So weird that SCEA never promotes games like this.

Oh I had that happen as well the first time! Should have said "lots of dashing, and then flying the fuck out of there to heal" my bad! Hope you are enjoying it overall at least, really happy with the game generally myself.
 
So has anyone here downloaded the Project Diva f 2nd demo yet?

I'm about to factory reset to my Japanese account to check it out. Haven't done it in a while, only doing it when there's a demo I reaaaaally want to try, because going through the whole procedure is such a PITA.

By the way does anyone know if it's possible to transfer a game save between accounts? I'd like to have my original PDf save while I'll be on my Japanese account so I can play with the DLC.
 
That Neptunia screencap, is it from that Idolmaster parody game or is it some standalone thing? (looks like a clock app or something)

Yes.

I did but I'm not a fan of these games.

That 共闘学園 thing is really the quirky Japanese kind of advertising that wouldn't be very receptive to western users.

The live nico broadcast is pretty standard for advertising but idk if westerners have that same kind of internet culture. Would people go watch a stream on twitch tv at an appointed time for a couple of gameplay videos?

It's interesting that there hasn't been anything like a vita heaven for the west though. Maybe SCEA just doesn't think it's worth the effort for the number of viewers they'd get.

Nintendo Direct?
 
Yeah, I couldn't get that method to work on NeoGAF mobile either.
Thought that might be why.


I can say the Killzone Mercenary patch fixed the issue with not being able to connect and having to close the game and restart for it to work. I suspended the game and went back in and it worked and i also suspended then put it in standby and it still worked. Glad to see them fix that, does anyone know if that was why everyone was having trouble or did some people it not matter and they couldnt get on regardless?
 
Glad it worked for you...

I suspended a Killzone session last night and picked it up this morning - got an internal server error when I tried to connect to a new game.

Sorta.
It has so much potential.
But they need to fire their QA team. Should've never made it out the door without 30fps lock. And if it had been 60fps locked? Could've been LEGENDARY... such wasted potential.
 
Something new? then yes.

I have a feeling SCEA still has a stigma about westerners only caring about western games and that streaming most of the japanese stuff wouldn't garner an audience (and they'd be right). The last jp vita heaven had toukiden, vk3, ge2, sen no kiseki, gundam breaker, and a dangan ronpa teaser. Even if those all got localizations none of those type of games would appeal to mainstream western viewers they way they do to mainstream japanese viewers.

If this is their philosophy then it makes sense that there's very little to show.

Since they already show off the few big (western) titles they have during big events like E3 and gamescom and then leave the incremental update trailers to the development studios/publishers, it makes sense they don't want to make the effort to get House or someone to host extra "direct" style broadcasts.

That wasn't a Vita heaven, it was just mistranslated but most people thought it was. Honestly they could probably do a indie based one.

What's up Vitabros

Anybody getting Batman Blackgate?

Waiting for reviews.
 
Just ordered a OG Vita and Killzone Merc online. Gotta get that OLED before they're all gone. Any "must play" games I should also get?

I know it wasn't but most people wouldn't know what I was referring to otherwise. Either way it's the same kind of stream I'm talking about.

The main point is that they showed gameplay/trailers for new, unreleased games at the time. Most of the indies on vita are ports and even then they already showed most of the upcoming ones at gamescom.

There's just simply nothing left to stream.
 
It's not like the Vita game is a port of the PS3 version. They'd get in trouble for false advertising if it said "get Arkham Origins for PSVita".

Yeah, but they still could have said "And try out Arkham Origins Blackgate, coming to the Vita" with a few seconds of footage. Not that I would have expected that.
 
I bought Ys: Seven a few hours ago and I am so glad that I did. This game is right up my alley. Loving everything about it so far. Does Ys:OoF play the same? Pretty similar? This has gotten me even more excited for the upcoming Vita Ys.
 
It's sad that despite having all the previous bosses have some pretty nifty battles, the last boss for Sly 4 is a QTE fest. Uncharted all over again.

Might switch back to ps3 to do the clean-up.

In terms of action it's almost the same. But the structure is more about dungeons and less about equipment/items and story.
 
Injustice Ultimate Edition has been available for pre-order on Amazon for 360 and PS3 for a few days, though not under a unified listing with selectable platforms... not Vita, though. Nov 12th isn't too far away, seems like it would be cutting it really close to see a listing for a physical release pop up.
 
Sega teasing a new Vita game??

http://gematsu.com/2013/10/sega-launches-mysterious-new-teaser-site

The title of the page reads “Action x Simulation x Card Battle.” The center of the page contains the Japanese character for “violent” or “rage.” Below that, the text, “The new story will begin.” And finally, it promises an update on October 28.

The source code of the page mentions “PS Vita” and “PlayStation Vita” in its meta tags, suggesting it’s a PS Vita game, as well as the number “4936.”
 
My goodness, I just realized I haven't bought a Vita game over a month and a half! That's by far the longest period of not buying Vita games. Kind of makes me sad but there just hasn't been anything interesting to me since KZ Mercenary, Rayman Legends, and Kickbeat, all of which came out on the same day, and all of which I've bought.
 
It's a card game from what i hear.

well nothing wrong with card games, I'll pay gold if Marvelous decided to give us GTmaster.

yup, horrible store update and overpriced games.

I'll get Batman Blackgate, which will be my first buy for Vita since Atelier Meruru Plus, but yeah Vita need work on the quality of the game and the pricing on the store.
 

I was one of them. And I regret nothing. My sons enjoyed the hell out of it this weekend. I'd pay $100.00 for any game that does that; more if I had to.

While I understand where you guys are coming from, the experiences I've had in the last few weeks have taught me one thing: not to let anything hold me back from something I'll enjoy.

If there's anyone who wants impressions (I know Shinriji wanted some) I'd be happy to oblige... going to get some sleep. Goodnight, Vitafam!
 
So I've spent a few hours on God Eater Burst that I got for free on PS+, and it turns out to be awesome.
Never have been a fan of Monster Hunter series or other "hunting" genre games, but somehow GEB has won my heart. I don't know why.
Using the right analog stick to move the camera works beautifully.

All of a sudden, I'm interested in purchasing GE2. There's going to be an US release, right?

I definitely think the price for this game on Vita is high, but I also see various scenarios in which it is completely understandable to buy it.

For example. My parents love the game but we don't have a tablet. And I know they would enjoy Angry Birds a lot more in the Vita's bigger screen than on their phones. For me, that's makes it more than worth it.

Of course, these are more special cases than the norm, and I agree that for the average vita owner the game is neither interesting nor reasonably priced.

I'm with you. I just rented Valhalla Knights 3, which is awful but eventually kinda ok, But in general I feel like Im the least into my vita as ive been since launch which is weird being that it's fall...
 
Ya know what Card game I'd like to play on the Vita?
Digimon Card Battle, I enjoyed it on the PSX, even made a strong Yellow Deck.

A Yu-Gi-Oh game T.T. It's been years since I played one of those games, but lately I want it soo bad. It's a shame that the PSP games aren't in PSN.

Is out there a iOS / Android Yu-Gi-Oh F2P TCG, at least? I think it could be pretty popular worldwide. And it would work flawlessly in tablets. Still, is so obvious that probably Konami haven't even tried xD.

Exactly. I feel like there should be this cavalcade of games out that I want to be playing but its an incredibly barren fall so far.
 
Ok.

If there's a thing you think I know that you want to know... what is it?


Also, I'm fucking poor but want a new game and am somewhat drunk... Malicious rebirth? $15 seems like alot even drunk.
