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

Yeah, the hate definitely died down. But whenever a thread where the OP wants us to recommend what handheld system to buy, the haters sure do come out in droves.

It doesnt even need to be a "what handheld to buy". Did you visit the thread where the dude said he already have a 3DS? People kept saying buy a 3DS, or buy more games for your 3DS instead the Vita.

Have you entered one of the Pinoy 3DS groups in FB? If ever Vita is mentioned all I see is 1.LOL VITA, 2. HAEZ NO GAMEZ, 3. NO MH, 4. RIP VITA. Its sad comparing to the vita groups who actually don't criticize the 3DS to that derogatory extent.

Im 100% sure ive done the right choice buying a Vita. It has been worth every penny. I dont need to discredit any platform to convince myself it was a good purchase. So no reason to start a system war.
 
Am I a terribe Vita owner for having owned P4G for several months, maybe a year, but not playing it yet?

I'm actually in the same case, thinking about starting the game in easy mode to hopefully turn the dungeons into cakewalks since they are insanly boring.

I own P4G day one. Heck I even bought Vita just for this, and yet, it still collecting dust on my shelf.
Blame me for finishing PS2 P4 version 2 months earlier and being screwed up by Max S.Links guide
 
I just traveled through two flights and a long ass layover with my Vita + HORI grip. It's not that bad to travel with, and the HORI makes the Vita actually nice to hold instead of struggling to find room for my hands and getting bad cramps. I'll never play Vita without it.

Tempted to buy it now. I hope it's available in my country. I've been seeing a lot of people selling 2nd hand ones but none of the retailers that I've been to sell them.


the Hori grip is awesome! hasn't left my Vita


I don't understand why one console has to "win" in order to be relevant enough. Not when the Vita has so many good games. They just haven't tried playing a Vita yet.



i think the explanation is that if one "wins," it'll get all the exclusives. That's what it was during the PS2 era.

and yes, that is dumb and they should all feel bad.
 
I'll probably start it after I finish my Killzone: Mercenary platinum (I've just got the alternate contracts left), and after I finish FFXIII-2 (I'm in the last level and the switch labrynth thing annoyed me enough to make me take a break. Seriously, the last game had this and this one has the same thing?). I've thought about just starting it several times, and I did once, but promptly abandoned it because I wanted to commit to finishing the games I was currently playing.

I also preordered Dragon's Crown, and I haven't even touched that yet.

No. I personally hate the game. Don't believe everything you hear. Anime cutscenes were good, but the dungeon crawling was the most tedious and boring thing I've ever encountered in gaming. It's been deleted for a while on my vita.

Try it again on very easy. Watch something to distract yourself while going through dungeons. Just press triangle and keep and listen out for reflected attacks.
 
The 14 for 14 sale was excellent, and I was pretty pissed we didn't get it. The current sale is good though, I'll give you that. Any Vita owner worth their salt should have Tearaway/Spelunky/Hotline Miami/Terraria

Hotline Miami's low price has been staring at me for a long time. It looks like just the arcade game I'd enjoy from a gameplay perspective. But the gore and violence man. I can't stand it when games are explicit about it. It feels bad not playing good games out of principle :(

Are you squeamish or are you against violence in games?

Because if the former, so am I, and HM didn't bother me in the slightest. If anything I found it kind of amusing. It's really over the top silly violence, not wannabe-realistic.

Both. But in Hotline Miami's case it's only the latter.

I agree that it's easier to deal with. It's just the idea that murdering people, blood dropping like rain and that it's presented in an enjoyable way. What does that make me to play and enjoy the idea behind? I just can't wrap my head around it.

The moment games start becoming explicit, sadistic or the violence is presented as a fun thing to do, then I start feeling bad about playing them.
 
I've not looked at the EU sale much yet, but I'm sure I'll spend more on it than I should.

I'm eyeballing Knack even though I heard it's not that great. Seems like something I could enjoy with my son though.

Er... then yeah, maybe not for you. It's a fantastic game, but I'm not going to lie to you; dat shit naaasty.
 
It's been a while since I imported stuff......... hmmm.
Just import Type-0 already.

I'll assume you're flirting with it everyday and just waiting for the ~right moment~ to get to it.
And it better be the case, lad.

This sounds like me with Atelier Totori
"I'll play it today lemme just get on gaf for a few mins" *few hours later* "Well I'm going do x in 2 or 3 hours. No point in playing it now since I won't be able to have a huge session"
 
You can file a refund request. They'll get back to you within a week. I don't know what their policy is on refunds for crap you don't like but my account somehow got charged $59.99 once for GRID 2 when it was supposed to be a PS+ freebie. They gave me back my money within 48 hours thankfully. Not really the best level of customer service but I was just happy to get my cash back.

Called em up, got a refund for Dustforce. Granted, I wasted my one "Goodwill Refund" where they'll do it without any fuss, but hey, I wasn't happy with this game. Then again, I was genuinely unhappy with this game. Instead of farming CS for a free game.

Nah, that's not a good idea. Cause the one time you buy a broken game (like I did), you'll be angry you wasted your token on some other game.

Also, I have good reasons for double posting. Multi-quote on more than one page doesn't work on mobile.
 
Dragons Crown new patch fixes some issues (Camera issues seem to have been fixed!)

Version 1.06 (18mb)


1.06
*The conditions for changing the element of the Elemental Lore ability has been fixed.

*Certain abnormal effects cause by equipment have been corrected.

*Situations in which online players on a higher floor in some dungeons are being matched to players on a lower floor have been corrected.

*The camera behavior has been modified to provide better Views.
Other adjustments and minor improvements(?) to various gameplay elements have been made.
 
Anyone (in the US) have a 4GB memory card they wouldn't mind getting rid of for cheap?

Played Persona 3 when it first came out. I'm debating between FES or P3P for the Vita. I think it's time to jump on Arena with that ultimate pack however.
Save your money; the DLC is just fluff.

Wondering if I can do this for Ys. I bought it like a month ago but it's still probably worth a try to get 40 bucks in my PSN wallet. Free digital Toukiden!

Do you dislike the game that much? I just went over why cheesing the system is bad. Looking at it as a "free game" instead of "getting your money back" is bad business in my opinion. If you ever buy another game like some NIS game and you find out something silly like it's not translated, you'd be much better served getting your money back for that, rather than this.
 
I don't want to spend too much money, i have to buy Daganronpa!

is this known??

Hello again, PlayStation aficionados, Miku fans, and gentlemen and ladies with fine taste in music games. Aaron from SEGA here, and we’re excited to confirm with you all that Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA f will be releasing for your PS Vita this March!

The game will be available on PlayStation Store, and will also feature a completely separate set of Trophies from the PS3 version (go for that double Platinum)! We’re also happy to confirm today that we will be bringing over the DLC that many have asked us about: the Snow Miku 2013 DLC, the Extra Character Modules Pack, and the Extra Songs pack will all be available at launch in March. We’ll be announcing details on pricing for these, as well as the full game, here on the Playstation Blog soon.
 
I bought a Vita on Saturday, I finally decided the OLED screen was more important than an extra hours battery life. Since then I have been enjoying the delights of Persona Golden for the very first time. Marvelled at Uncharted Golden Abyss, pretty impressed by Soul Sacrafice and just started Gravity Rush which is quite unique and interesting. I have had a couple of games of Modnation Racers, nice game just the loading times are a bit sluggish. I still have half a dozen games from PS Plus I haven't even looked at yet! Plus FFVII and FFVIII and Vagrant Story that I had already on my PS3.

With not a lot happening on the PS4 ATM the Vita will get me through just fine. Yes the memory card prices are a joke and the battery life isn't great, but holy smokes this thing is amazing. I bought Persona Golden second hand at EB for $18 the rest were PS Plus freebies, The machine with Plus is simply amazing value.
 
Is this thread worthy? It's an interview about what type of game Persona 5 is going to be.
Iirc, there's a translation of that entries article floating around somewhere. That would be thread worthy but I don't even know if that has been posted already.

That Stick It To The Man sale is what I've been waiting for. But it's not in the US. But it does set the precedent that the developer is willing to go in the $5 territory. And that's good for my wallet.

Terraria, on the other hand... I don't like it on PS3, so I'll wait even longer now.

Congrats. All the games you mentioned are a lot of fun.

As for PS+, it is single handedly the best thing Sony has done all generation. Hyperbole? Sure, why not? But Plus is just excellent value for your money. The fact that it covers PS3/4/Vita makes it superb.
 
How many days is the persona sale?? Im about to buy P4G

It's in the article, but I hesitate to make a thread since it could be considered a magazine scan.
