So i've been playing the shit out of the Toukaiden Kiwami demo and loving it. I got the missions for the special stuff to transfer to a full game but I haven't decided if I want it physical or digital and also will probably wait for a sale on either. I want to delete the demo though because its like 2GB or something, does the save file delete when you delete the demo? Can it be used with the retail version? Why the hell are the npc's in such a rush to kill everything on the battlefield before I can even get there?

You'll have to keep the bubble if you want the bonus transfer for the full game.

Ahh crap in a hat. Ok thanks, don't want the stuff that bad because i'm not sure when i'm going to buy it and was wanting to install FF X-2 and give it a playthrough.

I love that 64gb dancing card.

And oh snap, my PS+ sub ran out. Is there a deal anywhere?



yeap dallow - not sure if it's exclusive to Singapore or what not, but yes. the LE box is Chinese on the outside but the game inside is English (Japanese with English subs, Asian release)

hey! your copy of Oreshika - is it American or European?

NA/EU retail doens't exist, so I bought the Asian (english subs) version.
Had I known there was an LE version with the english subs copy I would have gone for that. Kinda bummed, haha.

I could help you w the LE if you so desire
btw, when you boot the game - does it say SCEJA or SCEE or SCEA?

As a DRPG fan I have been wondering whether I should or not buy Moe(ro) Chronicles or not... I hate fan service stuff /:

Based on comments here, probably not. I have it preordered but I just ignore that stuff.

Maybe operation abyss instead? that might be more suitable (and on vita) as opposed to etrian suggestions which require a device many here might not have.

Or, if you want something now, perhaps try some psp games like Elminage or Class of Heroes 2? I'm leaving out vita's demon gaze because the fan service, while fairly minimal in quantity, is a bit over the top when it does happen.

Out of curiosity, would I be able to get in on this? And how much is it?

I've been eyeing a copy on drakuli.com for a few days now, but I've never used them before, so I'm hesitant to order from them.

Finished Monsterbag last night. The tone of the game was quite different to what I expected. Loved the art style. The animation was super top class too! Not entirely sure I understood the story, but the little that I did understand was actually really well put together. The ending stages were a bit "samey" though. But all in all a nice little experience (if a bit sad).

Posted an import review of Estival Versus if anyone wants a read. It was supposed to be short...it ended up less short. Still getting used to written reviews I guess.

Anyone know why TV & Video keeps popping back into my Recent Apps list on PS4? Is it because stuff updated? If I uninstall them will it go away?

(amazing gif)

Beautiful.

Since going physical for new purchases my 32GB card feels perfectly fine actually. Feels weird. Of course swapping the cards isn't fun either, it's just a different annoyance.

Sounds like it's a pretty hefty serving of fanservice. There's plenty of other DRPGs on Vita anyway unless you've exhausted all of them. I keep considering getting the LE of Operation Abyss even though I'd probably suck at it...why am I weak for artbooks I read once.

Finally have enough to get a PS4.. Though I'm worried that as soon as I go buy one, it'll get a price drop soon after or something.

Because Sony wants it that way. The PS4 is basically a shove-Sony's-apps-down-your-throat machine. If I could, I'd rip 90% of the installed apps right the fuck out - they just get in the way.

PS3 was always touching on that bullshit too, and the Vita has it in spades.

Super lame.

I'm not sure where you're located, but in North America you can buy things at Best Buy and they give you the length of the in-store warranty to cover your price.

IE; you buy a PS4 on the first, and on the 12th it goes on sale - that's within their 14 days for electronics, so you could take it in and get it price matched to the new price.

Not sure if you have something like this where you are, but it's worth a look before you buy.

I'd wait for a big event, like E3 or Gamescom. If anything, it'll be announced during one of those events, and if it's not, you're good to go, better than doing it at a random date.

Only reasonable times for a price drop would be E3 (I doubt it) or holiday (black friday always has something, a bundle if nothing else). I kinda doubt there will be a straight price drop any time soon, I'd keep an eye out for nice bundles like that "player's bundle" with TLOU, Bloodborne and The Order. Black friday is technically the best time to buy if you get an actual deal in time, but personally I wouldn't consider the <$50 you're likely to save to be worth waiting around for 7 months, but that's me

Simply amazing.
I should probably bite the bullet and buy of these but can't as the price is absurd.
I mean I just bought a 64gb micro SD card under $30 2 days ago.

That's what I'm waiting on also. Knowing my luck I'll buy one and a few months later it's half off

You can get a 128GB micro SD for around the price of a 64. Usually the 128 is a bit more, but sometimes it's a bit less.

I'm sadly going to need one for my New 3DS XL soon. I'm at less than 4GB left.

You're never going to see PSVita Memory Cards as cheap as SD or even close as it's a key part in the Vita's version of DRM. If they had done memory cards different and without the DRM feature, they would have been cheaper.... and games would have been more expensive instead.

The price is only like that because they are the only ones making it and for one device only. The Pro Duo was similar when it launched, but even then you had an entire catalog of Sony products that used the format and 3rd parties did come along eventually.

Anything in bulk is cheaper, I agree - but even in bulk they'd be noticeably more expensive than SD due to the R&D costs and implementation behind them.

Great DRM strategy, bad explanation to customers.

Anyone know anything about Lost Dimension? It came up in my 'you might like' feed on amazon and i just don't know anything about it. i googled it and saw it's by the people that do Etrian and also see references to Valkryia Chronicles.... but then it also says it has Visual Novel stuff going on (if it's a vn like danganronpa i'll skip it).

Anyone know more info on it?

EDIT -- just watched a little bit of the japanese version on youtube. combat looks cool. the VN references in the description are still scaring me away though. anyone know what genre it is, really? Like is the combat pasted onto a VN or are they just calling it a 'vn' to get sales but it's really just got the same amount of plot of, say, demon gaze or mind zero?

It's not a visual novel. It's an RPG.

Yep. You can have 300 apps installed, not including those preloaded on the 3DS system (like Nintendo Zone, eShop, Mii Plaza, Face Raiders, etc). Also folders can only hold a maximum of 60 apps. I'm going to run into problems with both soon.
Please refer to sörine post on why 128GB might not be a good choice for NN3DS

Oh I understand that it's just annoying is all I was getting at.
 
Yup everyone is telling me to not go for it. I already have OA's LE preordered for June anyway, so I'll be getting my full dose of DRPG goodness then. At the pace that I am playing Xenoblade, exploring the world and immersing myself in it, it'll be a while until I feel the need to get another game. This game might look ugly to some, but there is some serious code black magic making these expansive vistas run on my n3DS without it blowing up or dropping frames. I don't think I remember playing a game with this much scale in it, it's ironic how it is running on a handheld system like the n3DS. Makes me wonder what this would have looked like on the Vita...
 
People are really negative against the Vita. I was in this thread about a Vita-3000 revision , I read the OP and I shared his hopefulness so I was going to post support for a Vita-3000 announcement at E3 but I started reading the other responses and Jesus Christ the hate is real, so much ignorance and false claims, even I know some of this stuff are straight up lies and I've never even held a Vita in my hands before!

I feel really demoralize by all this negativity, I was really hopeful for a Vita resurgence by Sony this year because they ignored the Vita last year at E3 but at the PS event they started talking about it again so they had to have something substantial this E3 for the Vita to compensate for ignoring it last year, but now all my hope is down and now am just expecting at least a price drop :(

Sooo...anyone here have any experience dealing with Sony's repair center? Finally shipped my Vita to them last Saturday and they received it the 8th, according to FedEx. I was given a service request number in my email and when I try checking the status of repair here, I'm told my service case can't be found. Has this happened to you, should I be worried? I was planning on talking to chat support about this today but I forgot.

Par for the course when topics like that are brought up. Try not to let it get to you too much.

You don't see shit like that about "the new 3DS successor", though.

NintendoGAF, like any other SystemGAF/ExclusiveGameGAF will always come up with reasons and excuses.

Right now I am getting the N3DS for what Majora's Mask 3D and Xenoblade 3D.
Having 2 3DS to play my games isn't that bad, in fact I'll put all my games into my N3DS XL once I get it next month, but need to figure out how to keep the pre-installed Majora's Mask.

The 3DS XL I have will be back up in case I wanna play my retail games.
 
Little weirded out here...

The SEN page is down, the Playstation Store page is down, I can't log into or out of PSN, and yet I see no mention of this here, on their forums, etc.

Is there some big thing I missed? Whats going on?

...This isn't relevant. Maid's comment was speaking to the fact that the 3DS isn't questioned in the same way the Vita is. Even if there is indication of a positive trend for the Vita, there are those who are very determined to discredit it. Mostly I think it's because being contrary makes people feel somehow superior, but I can't speak for them.

As to that specific thread... There are a lot of shitposts, but I tend to agree that a Vita3000 is very very unlikely. Sony won't invest in to new games with any real budget, so I doubt they'd invest in the R&D for a new console rendition.

small fanbase with mostly niche games vs much bigger fanbase with broadly appealing games.

Not to mention how different Sony and Ninteno treat/support their handhelds.

The problem is I don't understand why would people feel the need to be hostile toward the platform they don't own.
 
It's all working for me (NA, Canada here).

I'm NA as well, but while the fact I can't log into PSN I would just attribute to maintenance or something, not being able to load the Sony Entertainment Network homepage or the Playstation Store homepage is very strange. No luck with different browsers.

You're saying you can load these websites?

*sigh* Guess I'll have to call support about it later. Never have any luck with them.
