When would the Golden Week Sale land? end of month or sooner? or nobody has a good idea?

 

[Man God]

The reason Shard is saying there is a Golden Week Sale with some authority is that he interviewed someone from Natsume and they said to expect a bunch of Natsume products to go on sale during the upcoming Golden Week Sale.

Bought the RCR cart, suggested to Tom Happ that Axiom Verge would be awesome to have too, he seemed interested at least. Sony seems to make it possible, at least, so I'd suggest the idea to indie devs of games you'd like to see physical. Not sure how much trouble it is these days, but it's clearly possible which is more than I would have guessed last gen.

The DS4 speaker jack. So good. Got a new pair of headphones last night and was using them in bed via the DS4 speaker. Crystal clear even over bluetooth, in another room, through my crazy thick old house walls.

What's "golden week" anyway?

 

[Carm]

I have a question, I'm hoping someone can answer. I'm in the process of thinking up a Online ID for my PSN account. My question is, if the name is say, 15 spaces longer, in games will that name be cut off when it's displayed or will the whole thing show?

What's "golden week" anyway?

It's basically a week that has a number of holidays and thus makes it the longest vacation period for japanese people.

Amazon US are out of some denominations of PSN credit. Wtf?

That digital game thirst? IT seems weird, but they only stock so many codes so it is possible to run out. They'll just have to get a new set of codes from Sony. Never seen it happen for that but I've heard of other game stores running out briefly.

Well I hope they hurry up and restock. I bought P4A Ultimax, and now can't play it until I get the P4A story DLC!

I get that they only have so many codes on hand, but you'd think that there would be an automated system to top up when they get below a certain threshold.

 

[names2hard4you]

Titan Souls on the Vita sounds like a plan to me on the 14th... And here I was saying I wasn't buying anything this month aha. I never learn!

 

[autoduelist]

And elsewhere, means (at least for last year, and hopefully ongoing) we get a lot of Japanese games on sale in NA (and maybe EU?).

 

[Delusibeta]

It's basically a week that has a number of holidays and thus makes it the longest vacation period for japanese people.

Essentially, yeah. Japan has public holidays on April 29th and May 3-5. If any of them falls on a Sunday, a bonus day is declared to compensate (in the case of this year, that means May 6th is also a public holiday). Unsurprisingly, taking April 30th and May 1st & 2nd off is incredibly common.

So there is a fire sale on Playstation TV (this thing doesn't sell at all here) and I might bite, but have a question.

Not every PSP game is compatible, right? Is there a comprehensive list somewhere?

List is the same as PS Vita best I'm aware

Try playing Dracula X Chronicles in the US on a PSTV then.

 

[deadfolk]

Guys, is LBP Vita worth getting?

 

[Chuy]

Yes it is

 

[Nudull]

How quickly does it eat up memory?

 

[Vylash]

standard usb to mini usb

bought one and it didn't fit :/

 

[Man God]

You bought a Micro instead. The poster said mini. It's about three times wider.

fuck, back to wal mart

I really don't pay much attention to when DLC comes out normally, so me buying the season pass for DriveClub was unusual, and me missing the releases of content as they piled up was predictable. That said, it's kind of cool that every few times I load up DriveClub I've got something new I didn't have before to play with. That's a great way to keep people coming back to your game, and it's certainly enhancing my experience.

In other news, if you've missed my April PSVita preview video you should give it a view

Luckily i stopped myself from buying anything this week.

 

[teflontactics]

Isn't golden week the end of April and the beginning of May? That'll be a bit of a wait.

Driveclub's pass is great. Whole lot more content on a monthly basis. Feels like a proper "season pass" instead of a 4 for the price of 3 DLC bundle

 

[ipukespiders]

Should the season pass content be downloading automatically? I've had to go and download each piece from the store.
It might be because I'm on my "secondary" ps4 as my "primary" is in my son's room, or it might be normal behavior.

 

[Chuy]

Depends really on what you download to it but it's not too much space dedicated to it really. Only 1.4GB on my memory card

Nope, they all just pop up as "Free" for me.

Okay, thanks.

I can't think of a single DD-only Vita game I don't already have that might go on sale during Golden Week.

Awesome! Thank you for the update!
Did Natsume make anything of note other than Harvest Moon?

Maybe if Natsume put their recent Vita fish game ($30) on sale for $5, I'd get it. That's how much I'm willing to pay for fishing games I'll never get to play.

 

[Nudull]

Speaking of Natsume, did anyone here actually play Innocent Life? I've always been curious about that one. A sci-fi Harvest Moon sounds like it might have been a decent idea.

Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny (So awful)

Really, now? I almost blind-bought it several times, but could never pull the trigger for one reason or another.

 

[BlowoverKing]

Retro City Rampage DX vita retail release is availible. Don't waffle, PS4 was gone before too long and now goes for >$200 on ebay.

Thanks for the heads up! Was worried I'd miss it if it sold out quick.

Why would you buy it in the first place.

Innocent Life is also pretty piss poor but it still has it's fans. It's a shame too as the concept was excellent.

The main problems with Tides is that they improved the combat in the RF series but literally everything else is below series standard. Music, characters, the farming is almost pointless, the amount of activities in minimal. Extremely disappointing compared to RF 3 which came out around the same time.

 

[Shizuka]

Why would you buy it in the first place.

Because five bucks and platinum trophies.

 

[Nudull]

I admit, that's why I bought some of the games I did during the last flash sale.

don't listen to him, Tides of Destiny is awesome, second best Rune Factory game behind 3

 

[incpdo]

Idk if i can wait for vita's versión of revelations 2. I want to support vita's third party big titles but its a shame it wasnt released yet. Muy little patience is killing me and for some reason i think this game will be great on the system. Hurry up Sony!

Something's amiss...

Hell no. It's the worst in the series by far.

 

[Maid]

I want to know the method of getting platinum by not playing the game.

 

[bobawesome]

Sometimes a man wants to fish without all the commitment.

I see that there are sellers on eBay with 10+ copies for sale already.

Is Demon Gaze worth buying? It's on sale and I'm tossing up between getting that or Freedom Wars.
