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

As a Junior this terrifies me

Rule of thumb: if the thread specifies platform X, just don't mention anything other than X in your post in that thread.

Some got away, some don't, depending on the mood of the mod I guess. GAF's moderation can be weird sometimes, hahaha.

Anyways! Thinking of adding 70 bucks to my wallet. Now Tales of Xillia and Ys are doing battle for my attention in my mind for the 1st purchase.... urghhhhhhhhhh.

I lurked this forum for over a year before making my account so I have a general feel of what I should and shouldn't do lol. I already knew most of you VItacats here since I've been lurking this thread since about March. Totos constant negativity got annoying but I did find myself agreeing with him at times when everyone else didn't lol.

Tales of Xillia will be on sale at gamestop for $20 on Black Fiday

*Scratches head*

Meh. If only I can participate in Black Fridays....
 
How do the prices in your country compare? They as bad as they are in Australia? If they are that bad is importing cheaper than buying local?

Well... for comparison, if I want to buy 50 bucks worth of PSN code I need to fork around... hmmm, 57-58 bucks, more or less.

Yeesh, go grab them from amazon or Play asia.
PA discount coupons can be found from the respective thread, I must've used over half a dozen of those by now.

Hmm that's not too bad I suppose. Anyway, it's 2 in the morning here so I'm going to sleep. Night night everyone.

Side note: Just noticed that tag. Did you get that from importing all those games that get localized and or games that go on sale soon after? lol

Yeah, I guess I should. I don't have a credit card though, hahaha.

Now you guys can understand how painful it can be when I bought something only for it to be sold in sales later on right? ;_________________; Hey Aytrial, you can understand my pain, right? Right? Right?

Play asia accept debit cards.

I think port begging is usually banned when there is a big chance of an upcoming shitstorm... But I don't get what's the difference between Takao saying "no Vita lol" and people saying "yo, I want P5 on WiiU/X1 because I'm a jerk and I enjoy other people tears". Whatever... we'll miss you bro.

Tales of Xillia is pretty good and solid even if it has (imo) some broken boss battles... but is a big downgrade battle wise after Graces. I even preferred Tales of Vesperia, but that's because I found kinda messy how roles were done in Xillia (I'm not a fan of Magic Knights, and I don't especially like how healing artes were distributed, but that's 100% subjective and either way it didn't give any problems).

Read the paragraf adove. I think for 20$ Tales of Xillia is a must have.

I personally think Toto's negativity is good for the thread. The are some people here too optimistic (like myself xD) so it's good to have someone that keeps balance and gives different opinions. The only one that hates Toto is his wallet. I think he has bought and sold 2 or 3 Vitas.

Just bought a retail copy of P4G on amazon for $19.99 because I need that physical cart.

Yes. I know that feeling. I like to look at a shelf and see the cases of my favorite games. That's the reason I've bought Tearaway and P4 at retail, and why I'll probably buy Gravity Rush too. I don't care about DD with games that I don't love (I liked Uncharted, but not that much for example, so I have the whole saga in digital).
 
If only I can buy Wii U for $350 or less, not $470 ;__;
Hey, are you buying Tearaway? If yes, is it digital or physical copy?

People sing to it like it is a very beautiful angel that will save them from rapture but... I don't know..., truthfully, I don't really dig platformers. I'll get it eventually... maybe... perhaps...

I am a BIG RPG guy, hahaha.

Hmmmmmmm. Well, I can also buy Graces F actually...

Hmmm. If I value story/characters over gameplay, which one would be better for me to snag?
 
Guys, not sure if this is mentioned yet, but both Passing Time and Rymdkapsel are free on the PSM store in the UK, as a festive giveaway. Grab them while you can!

Edit:

I see it's already mentioned 2 pages ago.
 
^ Thanks for the heads up!

Not played it myself but I've heard Xillia's story is somewhat better than Graces', so if you're sure you prioritize story and characters, that might be the one for you. I can definitely say that Graces has fantastic combat though. It might be the best combat in a JRPG I've ever played, honestly.

Get both..

Story and Character wise, Xillia is miles better. Tales of Graces characters are awful, and the story is really cheesy and boring. And half of the game you have a really bad Naruto-Sasuke (Shippuden) kind of relationship pushing forward the plot. And the epilogue feels like a fanfic lol.

IMO it's not at SO4 level (ToGf a little high) but the only saving grace in the game is that it has the most awesome 3D battle system in the whole series... and Pascal, which is the only "good" character in the game... and it's the typical funny carefree character you see in anime.

Thanks. I am highly resistant to cliches though, hahaha, even animesque cliche, so hmmm. I'd better do a little bit of research first....

Say..... the buy 60 get 10 deal has already begun right? I live in a place with 12 hours day difference from the US... so just want to make sure.

Yes it has
Put simply you have (maybe) until 23:59 PM EST on 3rd December.
Anything you buy atm before 3rd December that totals at $60 will get you $10 back.

I already post this before =V
 
How many earth gigs is Sonic Racing? Need to free up some space, also any news on this Eu sale?

E: just read the posts above me... Hopefully something tasty in the pipeline.
 
fffff just hit the 101 app limit for first time. barely have any psm games - sorry kickbeat demo, maybe another time.


--flower is really relaxing, especially for a busy mind. really enjoying it, welcome addition to my library.
 
As a new Vita owner, I'd just like to say a big Thank you! to Aytrial for this thread! So very informative!
 
Thanks for the prompt replies. Suppose there is an incentive to not letting your Vita backlog build up, that precious space!!!

Fairly new to PS+, if a game goes free but I don't download it that month, when the new games cycle, do I still have access to the old game? That makes more sense in my head than typed out but I think you know what I mean...
 
Picked up Ys: Oath in Felghana this morning; wow, it's a lot of fun! Very fluid combat and reasonably difficult already. The VA is hilarious, but at this point it just feels charming.

No you don't. You need to download the game or at least add it to your account when it's free. Then after the month that it was free it'll still be available to you to play because it's on your account.

You can use the SEN website to add free games to your playstation account during the month they are free, even PS3 games. Which is useful if you're like me and don't own a PS3 yet. I've added tons of free PS3 games to my account so if I do eventually buy one I'll have stacks of games to play.
