Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | November 2013 | Tearaway into a new world

My final 3DS purchase in the foreseeable future is the new Zelda... and I don't buy digital games on my 3DS because of the lack of a proper account system (unless they're free or club Nintendo... I've spent all of $12 on the two Oracle games when they released).

that zelda game ugly.

do your 3DS a favor and give it some life and send it off to a nice hometown ;)

Or wait out for Bravely Default


top page - buy FFX/X-2HD Vita pls

No.
The reason I own a 3DS is for the 1st party titles and the one I wanted the most was LttP 2. I honestly hate playing anything on that console... it just doesn't feel right or look good. Ever. :lol

Maybe.
Maybe when it comes out in NA.
Maybe not, since I don't like the game...
But maybe I will anyway... I do stupid shit sometimes. ;)
 
So I'm playing Persona 2 on my PSP right now but I have P4G already purchased, and a couple of times I just want to say screw it and grab my Vita instead.

But I am already playing it and I dont like leaving RPGs unfinished :/

Don't even start P4G until you finish any other game you are playing, even more so if it is a PSP Persona. Those are great, but once you start P4G, its production values make the PSP games feel quite archaic.

I personally got the 3DS because Squeenix expressed interest in remaking V & VI on it :( oh and potential RSE remakes

3DS is a great handheld by its own right though. But hardware could be a wee bit better

Lucky I don't really care about remakes of V and VI. ;)
I don't even know what RSE is.

I liked my DS and figured the 3ds would be an upgrade and an inexpensive nostalgia machine. I'm really not super thrilled with it. I've played and beaten a few games so far, but the circlepad is just... no. And it's so large and cumbersome. :\

RSE = Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald (originally released on the GBA)
imo, best pokemon games to date. That along with FF remakes (IV, V, VI), FF Tactics, Drill Dozer and Mario & Luigi made the GBA my all time favorite handheld. And I was hoping that the 3DS could recapture that feel.


Circle pad is a abomination though

the worst pokemon games

What model of 3DS do you have? XL seems to have the better circlepad of the two.
 
Definitely going to get a year of PS+ with the Black Friday deal.

Is the #jRPGVita thing for localizations or new games or what? I haven't kept up with what RPGs are out in Japan for Vita that haven't been localized.
 
Only problem I have with the 3DS is the shoddy build quality. I've already gone through three L buttons across an OG, XL, and LL. Otherwise the library has been pretty solid imo
 
Circle pad is a abomination though
It really is, but nobody ever agrees with me when I say so. It's awful.

"You'll get used to it" they said, nope. I won't. Still hurts my thumb after less than 30 minutes at a time and I've had it for a year now. It's shit.

Then again, I think the 3DS in general(I have an XL) is a terribly built system with great software.

Localizations and ports.

It's hard for the public to beg for unannounced games.
 
I am so sick of rolling through Killzone: Mercenary mission 04.
So. sick. of. it.

Can I please have my Ace ranking so I can take a break from this game and start TWD? Please?!
 
I have an XL.
I felt like, if I could've used the the d-pad, I would've had less problems with DKCR3D...

Then there's no improving it anymore unless Nintendo announces another hardware model which it always does.

You're stuck with the terrible build quality but 3DS still has a large library of games nonetheless.

The problem is if you're not interested in its software then it becomes a pile of turd.

Just collect all intels. Playing on easier difficulties also helps. Here's a video of where the 6 intels on mission 4 are http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN575dH311A
 
I had no problems with the AR cards, cardless is more of a struggle though since my apartment only has white walls and a plain wooden floor, and the game requires some colours or pattern

Yeah the AR cards were fine. If you could play the game only using those then I would be more keen to keep on truckin.

Well I finished the first Persona a few months back and enjoyed it, and that is quite archaic. The idea was to play them in order but then the $20 P4G disrupted the plan.

But I get what you are saying, I guess Ill finish it and then see about moving to P4G.


Which P2?

Innocent Sin, got the UMD for like 6 bucks

Oh nice, I like P2 IS. It's personally my favorite after P3.
Hoping Fatlus would add P2 characters in the next Arena game since they where snubbed out of the first one.

If everyone is talking about the 3ds any know of any good 3dsxl grips in the US.

We should have a 3DS monthly thread then

Pretty sure hori has some nice grips for the XL. Check your local best buy or gamestop
 
Anyone know if there's a way to reduce compression artifacts for vita wallpapers? Like saving the original file at a certain quality/size/format or pre-compressing it or something like that?

Yeah, that's about it... it's okay, but I'm hoping we get a classic Metroid or something too, because other than the few games I own, I don't see any on the horizon that make me excited.

Intels won't help me with the 10k kills or the $1million trophies... so I'm grinding them trying to get the ace ranking too.
 
Which one is the best DLC stage for Touch my Katamari? Have few Fan Damacy and don't want to spend any money if possible.

The last one is very interesting. The second to last one is very platformerish.

let me double check

none were bad btw

I'm still missing three so might want to watch videos of them if you can - (downhill race, katamari soccer, katamari fan festival)

platformer - athlete abyss
last level - the great journey

there's also a pacman level, which is neat but after the first time the coolness wears off and it's a bit simple, same with the last one but it's pretty great - get that if you want to zone out

or get the platforming one for a decent challenge:

 
Man I'm really jonesing for a Vita game announcement
I understand holding back 1st party stuff so that people put all their attention (and cash) on Tearaway but I want to see what the future holds!

Let me ameliorate that by saying I'm really, really excited for Tearaway. I have like $54 on the PSN right now and I know I'll be spending that on Tearaway day 1
 
I think I'm almost done with Gravity Rush (the old guy told me I should go back and finish things up). This was a meatier game than I was expecting. Can't be bothered with the challenges though. Can't wait to see how the sequel turns out, hope they add more depth.

If it ends up being as cheap as it is on some of the other storefronts, I will cave and grab it with the money I get back from the Spend $50 promo...

You own CoD yet you haven't bought Soul Sacrifice or Spelunky?
How can this be?!

Also, what is this Spelunky patch supposed to do?

I tried playing Order of Ecclesia on my 3DS and gave up in less than an hour. The D-pad's location for older titles makes it tiring to hold for extended periods of time. I'd rather have the PSP nub 50 times over. Plus the game didn't look great on the 3DS screen.

About CoD - I got it with that amazon bundle for my second vita (which had a yellow screen) ... and got returned recently for full price :) too bad can't undo digital.

Spelunky I'm definitely getting, loved the demo but didn't like the sound of the framerate issues. The patch is supposed to fix the drops in later levels (one of them gold city).
Soul Sacrifice I liked many things about the demo but not really the actual gameplay, maybe I just got distracted with something else...didn't get to try it online and so keeping the demo for sometime later lol

I'll get to Persona 4 of course. But I don't want to sink my life into an rpg yet. Takes a lot out of you, with FFX - I know how things will pan out etc, not so worried :) Oh shit, that should be on the list.
 
I don't like wipeout but wow that setup is cool as heck

Shame I won't be able to fill in the middle ones... unless a psx emulator comes out as an icon. That would be awesome right down the line. I could put it right in the middle, bottom layer.

Got the picture from the wipeout forums a while back, uploaded it here:
http://i.imgur.com/jsoMgRE.jpg
You can tell the guy who made it really really loves his wipeout, especially with the 'pick a year or league to relive the AGR events related to your choice'. Not to mention he's talented too.
 
Phew... finally got that Ace ranking.
Now the only partially restrictive trophy I have left is the 100 matches of multiplayer. I wish there was an easy way to figure out how many more matches I need to play.
 
Nice. Good luck on your trophy hunt.

Thank you!
Some of these contracts seem to have hard requirements... I haven't done a lot of those yet... my main focus this week with the time I've been playing Mercenary was to (1) finish the game (2) get all intel and (3) clean up any trophies not related to grinding or the fulfillment of the rest of the contracts.

If I can grind out the rest of my multi rounds, I'll probably shelf the game and move on to TWD or LIMBO or something. :)

EDIT: HAHAHA, just had a "draw/win" match where it was over in 30 seconds because it was 2v0. Never seen that before. I hope the lobby stays like that... quick easy rounds.

You're welcome.

TWD and LIMBO are very short games and you can finish them both on the same day if you're free for the whole day. Getting the platinum trophy on both is also pretty easy.

How do you guys clean your PS Vitas? What cleaning tools do you use? There's some dust between the buttons on my unit and I would like to know what's the best tool to use to prevent damage.
