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

Finally platinumed Killzone, Hotline Miami and Strangers Wrath over the weekend! Hard mode on Strangers Wrath wasn't that bad tbh, but maybe that was because I saved before every major encounter. Even managed to bounty about half of the bosses alive! The cheapest part for me was the
timed segment with snipers near the end. I eventually just killed them before running up there with 30 seconds left, but it was the one segment that struck me as "unfair" due to the accuracy and power of the snipers
.

That stupid bounty related trophy sucked. The one for getting enough moolah, thus requiring you to bounty just about everything you can.
Congrats on Killzone -- I'm working on that... just have to go do all the secondary contracts... but some of those objectives seem ridiculous.

I haven't tested Remote Play yet... it requires internet or can local connection between PS3/Vita do the job...?



(1) Just click on the numbers besides the thread under the column replies.
(2) The speed of your gaming plays is incredible! Maybe we should call you Frost The Speedy Prophet!
(3) Eh, not interested still... but we'll see. I will not buy PS4 at launch though, I prefer to be cautious.

(1) Ahhh, you have to do it from the thread list, not from within the thread. Ok, gotcha!
(2) Thanks, I think?
(3) Remote play works best between PS3 and Vita when they're both on the same local network.

How long did the 10,000 kills take you?

Shouldn't take *that* long -- then again, I was grinding money/kills on mission 4 to get my Ace ranking done. I think I have over 5k kills, and I still have to do a majority of the secondary contracts.
 
Will any of you import the PS Vita TV from Japan?
I'm tempted to if I have the spare cash. Digital versions of games like Soul Sacrifice Delta (assuming that comes to the West eventually) would allow me to play co-op with my friends that don't have a Vita and I'd enjoy replaying a couple of my games on my Plasma.
 
What the...?

How could the man who toppled corrosivefrost's from the top of VitaGAF's throne only has one Vita game?

I mean whaaaat?

Although this proves the theory that many in GAF are more busy posting than playing games, ahahahaha.
Well, I did download all the demos, F2P,free PSM and played each of them. I just own one full game. Besides I love the Vita and any information about a game I might like or any news concerning it including hardware stuff is always interesting to me.

Though I am quite slow in progressing at Soul Sacrifice because I play too much DoTA. You know, Volvo's Diretide and all.

Buy it and support a quality developer. Yeah, it sucks to get LB'ed, but it happens to us all. If you live in EU, it should be free on PS+ soon. But with SCEA at the helm? Take it at the discounted price and enjoy the hell out of it.

This never fails to make me laugh.
(2) The speed of your gaming plays is incredible! Maybe we should call you Frost The Speedy Prophet!
This concerned me as well. In one moment corrosive was just at the 1st puzzle then by the next few pages he already finished it and even read the 999 story. I idolize him. I'm talking about VLR BTW.

corrosive, do you do speed runs on some of your games?
 
Perhaps you'll get more use from the Gaikai service they were talking about, should replace PS3 to Vita remote play for the most part but may take quite a while.

Gravity Rush is 1460MB

Thank you, sir. Yes, Gaikai should be interesting, but right now I'm not ready to take the plunge even with PS+. Paying for games as a service and de/re-owning things already purchased at some point is weird enough as it is right now. Will have to see how things fare once the entire ecosystem is up and running.

With that said, if something should happen at some stage that enables me to play my entire PS3 backlog on my Vita... I can see myself forking out a subscription for that. But it would have to be all-inclusive (digital purchases, PS2 Classics, physical game redeeming solution, etc.)
 
We should give Prophet nicknames to members of VitaGAF like this.
Are you really sure you want to be given a nickname?

Not even a Plus subscriber? You should look into getting some of the indie games, assuming you haven't already played them on PC
 
In P4, they may conform to stereotypes but, at least they felt like people that I could actually be friends with. I liked reading the text and hearing them talk. It felt like the perfect version of HS. Which is the point of these things. At least for the Japanese.

Well, I think most of the jokes that happens are universal. When Yosuke's bike is destroyed, the times when he is so worked up about random stuff (usually because she thinks something = girls) or even the awkward aura between
Kanji and Naoto, because he doesn't know if he likes *him* or her.

Most are jokes, are funny, and didn't need you to have spent 200+ watching anime. Their attitude most of the time feels pretty natural.

If anything, it's the MC of P3 that I have a problem with. Everyone falls over him and they are pointless if his boring ass isn't in the room. Except for Mitsuru. Sometimes. She's the only strong one out of the bunch. People don't like you just because you're quiet and reserved. They just ignore you and you sit in the corner of the room being an introvert. P3 MC was just some guy that was along for the ride. Not like anyone else did anything either though. The only memorable plots was
Yukari's Dad being a scientist,
Mitsurus Dad dying. And that guy betraying them out of nowhere.
FeMC had a personality !! She had multiple ones of them. She's outgoing if you want her to be and not so much if you don't. Like I said. She has a personality. The exact same thing goes for Yu in P4. People may fall over him even more than P3 MC but, at least he's cool enough and has a personality for it.

Okay, now I understand what you are saying. It's true that in P4 I somewhat feel that the option I have to talk were more "for me". I don't know if you get it. There where quite some times when I had 3 options, I didn't like any of them. In P4 my only problem is that sometimes I want to talk more!!!

Chie is the personification of butter. You can take that as far as you want to and I don't think you can prove me wrong.

Ok, I don't get it. You like butter, you think butter is awesome? I don't get that comparision at all. I'd like you to explain my this.

Remember that you are in Chie's Fan Club. Behave properly lol
 
... д・´) some kind of masochist huh

Look, I didn't play FF13, Catherine, and Saints Row The 3rd because I wanted to play the games. I played them because Laura Bailey had a main role in all of them. And not only is Rise the best girl. She has the best VA. So... those are my opinions. I hope I stirred someone up ;)
┐('~`;)┌ Like I said, I think she's fantastic as Lucina, Kaine, and Helena. I can perfectly understand why people like her higher pitched voice but I've heard it so much to the point where it starts breaking immersion. You are free to love her to death because I'm not the type to judge ( ・ ー・ )

All the leaked BF ads this year so far have been pretty disappointing. Only thing I'm in for 100% right now are the $30 PS+ subscriptions
 
How long did the 10,000 kills take you?

That was the last trophy I got. It took me at least a week of grinding out kills on and off starting from about 4,000 after beating all contracts on veteran. I bet if I had focused just on Killzone and grinded for longer each day, it'd take much less.

I just did the bounty one on easy. It was fairly tedious, but easy mode allowed me to mix up my approach somewhat. Most of the secondary contracts for Killzone actually have relatively straightforward objectives imo with the exception of the precision contract for the last stage. That one was very annoying on veteran.
 
Canceled my Ps4 order and ordered it again, to get it later (lol). I decided to concentrate an my Vita. The only Game on ps4 i want at the moment is Knack and infamous.

With Tearaway coming and Eu ps + i should be fine.

But early 2014 Ys and Danganronpa going to release in Europe. Maybe i need to press the cancel button again.

Maybe next years gonna be good vita years. Even Sonys first party couldnt handle 3 Platforms

Maybe when the time comes when PS3 gets minimal support, the vita will prosper?

Lol. Where is your preordercanceled.gif?

I'm also interested in Knack and Infamous. Killzone looks kinda cool, but I don't usually like FPSs. But any of those two are in impulse buy territory. My favorite PS4 game so far is The Order... I just love steampunk and it makes me sad how underutilized it is.

Still, I don't have 400+€ to spend. And I won't in a while. I could have sold my PS3 + Games and get the PS4 for 200€ or a little less (500gb model was 180€ if you trade it for a PS4) but as long as there isn't backwards compatibility I'll keep my PS3 (along with my PS1 and 2).
 
Excited for Injustice, but I want to hear port quality impressions first. :|

Same here. I loved MK9, but if the graphics of Injustice take as much of a hit I'll be passing. I already have it on the PS3 and preordered on PC, so it's not like I need Injsutice Vita. I'd just like to have another fighting game to carry around with me.

Every year is a good year if you have a Vita.

I'll most likely get a PS4 sometime early next year, I can't not play Infamous asap

I thought Ys was only confirmed for the US, not Europe? Or are you importing?
 
Sad that not much is happening for the Vita on Black Friday. After last year getting the bundle from Amazon and getting my 16gb memory card 50% off from meijer, I'm a little bummed that all I see is 12 months of PS+ for $30. Gamestop does have a few games on sale but it's disappointing that other stores don't at least try to give a general 10-15% off whatever they have in Vita games.

Also think I'll get Injustice eventually. I'm not worried about the graphics hit for coming to Vita.
 
playstation store on amazon... thoughts?

I'm hype as fuck, assuming it comes to EU. Price match, events, price drops etc..

It's megaton but it needs an official NA billing address which I don't have.

What happens when I live in Asia but use NA servers? whelp.

For amazon digital codes (pc and the old psn wallet cards at least) I've been able to use my overseas credit card, just filled in a random us address (choose a state without tax) and select that instead of your actual overseas billing address at checkout

Cool! MEGATON!

Edit: I forgot to say thanks. Thank you!
 
I'm jonesing hard for a Zelda type game. Yes, I know we're a couple weeks away from one on That Other System That Shan't Be Named, but I have some funds in my Vita wallet I'd like to use on anything approaching a playable "climb the mountain to defeat the eagle to get the key to open the dungeon" type game.

Any suggestions, Vitabros?
 
Hi guys, just a quick question.

So with the news of Amazon PSNetwork, I'm going to buy some US games that didn't arrive here in Europe (like Castlevania Chronicles and others).

Can I transfer US PSOne Classics or PSP games to my Vita which has an Euro account? Thanks

Nope. You need to use a US account, and the memory card needs to be formatted to set it up.

Gurumin and Tokobot come to mind, well they're more closer to Megaman Legends' playstyle actually, but they're decent action adventure games.

Ys seven and Ys: Oath of Felghana.

Not sure if it's close to Zelda though.

Did you try Alundra yet?
 
No holiday bundles, no push from SCEA at all, and seemingly no noticeable Black Friday sales.
As I recall, the really popular Amazon Black Friday deal appeared with fairly short notice. That said, SCEA is obviously 100% focused on the PS4 launch right now, expecting any noticeable push for the Vita would be unrealistic.
 
still don't know what i'm doing with AT2, game is really not import friendly.

I guess I'll stop trying to play for now and wait till someone make a translated walkthrough or something.
 
That VitaGAF Secret Santa idea that people were talking about a few pages ago could actually work now that the Amazon PSN Store exists.

sadly Vita games codes in the Amazon store is lacking (from what I saw only 20 game or so available so far).

Alundra for sure
