PlayStation Network Thread (Vita/PS3/PS4/PSP) | February 2014

Ok. I've just finished Infamous 2 (good ending
, you use the RFI and kill all the conduits... well, not really, since there is Second Son coming next month
).

Overall I thought the game was neat. The story is decent, a little bit better than the original but not stellar. I didn't liked at all the last plot twist,
when Kuo acts selfishly and decides to stop you from activating the RFI. It completely broke the character they had built during the game and felt weird. There isn't a single moment, a single clue that points she could act that way. I didn't mind Nyx being "good" at the end. She is always driven by revenge, it was logical.

Gameplay wise it's a lot more polished, there are more powers and the Fire / Ice choice was neat. It was stupid that I needed to manually change from Ice Jump to Lightning Chain. Since I need to L1 + R2 to activate it, it didn't make sense. I think I probably wanted a little more platforming (Infamous 1 had more platforming missions). The best probably was wandering around the city, from roof to roof using your powers. You really feel like a super hero, they really nailed that aspect imo.

In Spanish that RFI is called ICR, so I had to google what was the name in English. Thanks Wikipedia lol
 
Nice find!
I was a bit worried we wouldn't be getting it anytime close to the US release with no mention of it minus that tweet so it's nice to have it confirmed.

How big is your PS3 game collection you guys?
My biggest platform software collection ever.

I also have DragonBall Raging Blast and Dantes Inferno which aren't pictured.

I see that you're a fan of Ratchet and Clank. You have good tastes. Those are the games that I had fun with when I was but a teenager. I even played it in Japanese and had no guides and 100% the first three games. Then after finishing those, the glory that was English PS2 was gifted to me. Glory to region free. ( I meant the PS2 games here but the PS3 ones were good too.)
 
Assault Horizon (console) was not a Ace Combat game. It's a Call of Duty disguised through planes.

It was nothing but Call of Duty: Combat in The Sky. But to be fair, the gameplay element they introduce (what was it name I forget) is quite, but the rest of the game outweigh it and one eventually undo it (yuck regenerating plane yuck).

God, how I miss original Ace Combat and its universe.
 
I have like €2.79 lol.

To be honest, i don't think i will buy it even with a ps+ discount. I'll wait and buy TxK instead.

PS: I have
69
ps3 retail games.

Just bought a €50 code on ebay for €41 and already loaded it onto my account :)
Won't be enough for february though with Dustforce, TxK, Danganronpa and Ys.
 
I guess you are right, but when i read things like that for some people certain games running at 30fps are unplayable(just an example, there are many others) i can only wonder what's the reason why they play videogames, it doesn't look to me that they buy games to have fun with them.

The problem is that many games "running at 30 fps" don't actually maintain that framerate. Dragon's Dogma or Red Dead Redemption constantly dip into the low 20s. It makes the games really hard to get into.
 
Just beat Tearaway.
Wow that game was amazingly charming. Had a tear in my eye as I finally read the message. Really hope we can get more original games like this from MediaMolecule. Since we all know that LBP can be handled by another team if LBP Vita is any indication.

LOL, it's a rock paper scissors battle. Is that enough for you and your "you don't know how to play the game" argument?

I should go and tell people they suck real hard at SRW coz I play at no-upgrades, no-pilot points, no-BS, no guide, and still get almost all skill points (and would have gotten all if I were willing to repeat stages).

Edit: Have you ever tried the game at highest difficulty?

If you really understood the mechanism then you should do the duels really easily. :P
I'm not joking, if you understand how they work you can easily do a perfect(=no hit, sorry for my obsolete fighting game terms usage lol) most of the times, no skills are involved, just look at the enemy and swipe(a very short one is enough) when it's time, nothing more, nothing less. I'm not super skilled and i didn't train for it.

I really don't see how it's possible how to hate the game for duels.

I understand what you say but that's not the case i was considering, for example reading the announcement of a game running at 30fps i saw many times people saying that that game would be unplayable without even trying it and knowing if it had any framerate drops.
 
Ehm, does vita have an activity log like on 3DS?

I wonder how many hours I've put in SPELUNKY, though I'm a bit scared of the answer :p

I thought it was mostly about games that are "targeting 30fps", which is marketing speak for "it will struggle to hit 30fps at most times" :p

Welp there is our Monster Hunter Vita in the West lol.

Surprised to say the least

haha. Posted a thread earlier regarding that. Didn't know a mod already made a thread earlier. It was quickly lost in the annals of failed threads. Not to mention my thread title had quite a few errors too.

I wonder how much they'd charge monthly for that. I think I'll stick to SS, Toukiden, GE2 and MH4U for my hunting needs if they charge a lot.
 
Tried remote play with my PS3 today for the first time and it works nicely, will probably use it to play through some PS1 games I own physically.

I was talking about 30fps games, not sub-30fps, anyway that was not the core point of my post, it was only an example.
 
Metro or Outlast?


Stopped reading at "subscription-based".

I stoped at "Frontier" but I know that needed a suscription. I don't know why they'd bother localizing that game instead of the Monster Hunter Online game (which looks better and it's F2P, not subscription + microtransactions).

Wow thanks, I thought it was only available in a very few games, not for psx games.
 
Can't wait for Ace Combat Infinity tomorrow, did not get my fill of the Japanese beta. Really wondering what was changed since they said some stuff about playability was reworked (not in game but the free to play/pay to play suff)

Then I come back to reality and remember its just a beta. :(

Yeah this is basically the mmo black sheep of the series.

I would much rather them revive the feedom series or at least give us a no effort port of portable 3rd

Seriously
 
After rebuying Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions (I had this on iPad) and Final Fantasy IX US (I had the German version) I'm tempted to rebuy Final Fantasy II as well, which I already have on my iPhone. I'm such a tool but the d-pad and buttons really make a difference.
 
TBF if MH Frontier didn't have notorious micro-transactions it is just a Monster Hunter with huge content. As a matter of fact original MH required subscription fee too, at least in Japan. It didn't have much micro transaction fees back then.
However to make investors happy Capcom have no choice but keep micro transaction fee high, in order to make it look profitable :(
