Already spent 200 hours with DC on the vita. Should I get both Zone of the Enders'?

I have both but only played the first one so I can't really comment on that, but I did enjoy the first game (haven't finished it yet), it works fine performance wise and there were no glitches or anything. Technically it is a good re-master.
 
I bought Freedom Wars and downloaded Catherine (which I've previously bought). Catherine is pretty cool, but I wish it was more of a visual novel because the Dropblox part can get rather annoying.

I'm one click away from buying Suikoden 1, 2 and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. for a total of 10 euro, that's a steal. BUUUT. I have ZERO time to play them at the moment.
Damn it, I hate such sales so much... Some one STAHP me, please...
 
Renewed my PS+ subscription and bought Yakuza 4, Yakuza: Dead Souls and Binary Domain. Considering postponing FFX remaster for another time.

What is the general consensus regarding Max Anarchy/Anarchy Reigns?

I'd definitely get Suikoden 1 & 2 that's under a fiver. A pint in a half decent bar costs about the same price.

Bought Vagrant story and after a couple of hours of really liking everything else I ragequit because i kept missing the timing of my attacks/defenses because of this fucking framerate. What bullshit is this?

Should have bought suikoden...

Don't stop, buy them!
You won't see them on sale very often.
What is this logic of 'having time to play', what happens when you have time to play but the games aren't on sale?!

It's like saving a penny for a rainy day: Buy games for cheap to play them when you are trapped at home with enough supplies to last you a decade, during a snowpocalypse and having enough time to play all your games

Are you on PS3 or Vita? See if you can refund your EU purchase and go grab it off US PSN :p

Add Yakuza 4 aswell. And the Devil May Cry Collection. Also, yes. ZoE aswell. Just remember to patch it before playing it.

Was scrolling through these offers just now and Strider showed up as "Free with PS+", but I'm more than certain it was 5€ the other day when I had in my cart: webstore glitch, maybe?

EDIT: Even DOA5+ on Vita shows up as free for me now: I already own the physical game, but what the hell?!

It happens from time to time. Just one of the seven million bugs the PS store has.

What's up with the store? Half the game of the sale have suddenly disappeared.
The Vita section was 4 pages, now only two and I can't find some of the games even with the normal search function. Dracula X, Symphony of the Night and both Metal Gear Solid HDs for example. Even the direct links from the blog only lead to a page not found error. The games should still be on sale until next week.
I hope Sony fixes this in time.

God Hand is essential at the price it's at if you're into action-packed romps. Unorthodox brawler though, but it feels natural after a while.

Holy shit at that haul. Yeah, you're going to be missing a huge chunk of your free time. :D

You have impeccable tastes, sir. Very solid haul.
 
Accidentaly posted in the other sale thread. I'm wondering this regarding one of the games on sale, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

Is Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 anything worth getting? I'll survive that they removed the gore since they seem to have added a bunch of new gameplay-related things (from what i remember seeing it like 3 years ago).

I played the first game on xbox when i was little and played the demo of the second one and loved that too. I'm just wondering if they altered some stuff in Sigma 2 that made it for the worse? Heard they made the first Sigma alot easier which has put me on hold from buying it until i get an Xbox to play NG: Black instead.

I can confirm weird things going on via the PSN store.

Ni No Kuni is marked as 'Unavailable'. When I click on 'Tell me more' it says 'You don't own this game'.

Revengeance also has no price, and all I can click is 'Try free demo' instead of 'buy'.

There are also a lot of items missing from my list. I can't see God Hand. I can't see Anarchy Reigns.

I also tried to update the store on my actual PS3 and it failed to download.

These deals end tomorrow right? I haven't had time to get anything until now. Fuck you, Sony.

Edit: I see that Sony are aware of it. Good stuff.

EU PSN sales last more than 1 week, so check the store at a later time and it should be fixed.

Picked up Suikoden 1, Suikoden 2 and FFX/X2 HD remaster for Vita.

Only some of the titles in the sale are staying on after tomorrow. Some of them are one week only.

But I jumped the gun a little thinking Sony wouldn't do anything about the bugs - they are, so that's okay. I'll check back in a few horus.

Is Atelier Rorona (Vita) not showing up for anyone else or is it just me? Can anyone in the EU check?

Worse, it's already in my cart, and since it's not showing up I can't remove it! It's just a glowing square that they want me to pay money for. How do you get delisted items out of your cart?

And even worse, I'd only just decided on Rorona and now I'll have to question it again. Atelier fans always give conflicting advice.
