I finally started looking at the EU store on my computer as realised it'd be easier to get sale price Vita games. I cannot find Ps1 games. At all. I know they started disappearing on the consoles but figured they'd be on the PC store. What the fuck.

If you search by title, I can see games, at least the Crash games.
But searching for PS One nets only one hit, Warhawk, and there is no easy option to see them all.

This is in PSN Sweden

Sony really should do some efforts on their digital store front, making ALL of the content visible in a easy and pedagogical way. They would increase their income immensely .
Themes and Avatars have a disgusting way of taking over the store at the moment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Edit: this seems to be a slow thread at the moment.
Four hours since I posted this. Instead of double posting I'm edithing this post.


So I decided to check what I bought on PSN during the summer months, from May 31st and up to today.
Since I've been away from my PS4 this will be a hefty addition to my library. 10 sek (Swedish kronor) is about $1.16
So to summarize, the summer sales has been pretty good.


Volume (Cross-buy) 39 sek
Unravel (PS4) 71.10 sek
Dead Space 3 Awakened DLC (PS3) 23 sek
Hyperdimension Neptunia ReBirth 2 (Vita) 28.10 sek
Resident Evil: Deluxe Origings Bundle (PS4) 139 sek
Mega Man Legacy Collection (PS4) 69 sek
Soma (PS4) 43.10 sek
Shadow Of the Beast (PS4) 65.10 sek
MotorStorm Arctic Edge (PSP) 29 sek
Corpse Party: Book of Shadows (PSP) 33 sek
Shadow Complex Remastered (PS4) 58.15 sek
Day of the Tentacle Remastered (Cross-buy) 58.15 sek

Sum 655,7 sek (about $76.35)

Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault (PS3) $2.99 (Including Deadlocked HD)
God of War III Remastered (PS4) $7.99
Borderlands: The Handsome Collection (PS4) $14.99
Mad Max (PS4) $15.99
PaRappa The Rapper 2 (PS4) $4.99
Sum: $46,95 (about 403 sek)

So to summarize, the summer sales has been pretty good.
All of the games above for about $100, in reality about $85-90, since I've bought 400 sek and 200 sek PSN cards for about 50 sek discount than their value.

Time, however, is priceless...

Do PS4s still come with a $10 PSN credit, 14 days of PS+ and a 20% off code? A buddy of mine is buying one and I know that's what launch units had in the box, just wasn't sure if it's still the case.

Started playing Demon Gaze again, from my playthrough from last summer. Just beat Chronos, feel like I have a way better grasp on the systems now after a year removed from last playing it, which is weird. Really enjoying it.

Dunno if you guys saw this, Vlambeer are patching Luftrausers on PS3/Vita and Nuclear Throne (eventually) on PS4/Vita.
Click to expand...

I played a ton of Luftrausers on Vita, such a fun time. Nuclear Throne is also a great game, but needs a patch way more. Random crashes and weird problems after you die in-game, at least on the PS4 version, made me shelve the game till it got fixed up some more.

Damn, Inside or Read Only Memories? They're both 19.99 but what's more worth it?

Damn the game crashes during or after perpell's fight against final trillion :\
Click to expand...

Trillion has a lot of crashing issues when you fight the final form with anyone, something that Compile Heart never went back and fixed and thus IFI couldn't either. You can also get the same issue earlier on during fights with Mokujin, although I've only seen a handful of people mention it happening to them. Don't know if the issue has to do with the engine they used or the game just didn't get much QA at all (going with that), because it really would have been a hard thing for them to miss if they paid any attention during QA. This is something that I would hope IFI is able to fix for the Steam version, although it doesn't help with the Vita version already out.

Never had problems with mokujin or anything else before, when i first fought final trillion with mammon nothing happened... i guess i'll try to do even better next time lol, if it wasn't for the limited amount of turns of the fight i would have killed it, instead perpell was killed by the fatal miasma, during the sealing the game crashed, then i tried again and it crashed during the fight.
I think both times happened when i put vita in standby or pressed the ps button.

I crashed every single time I brought DLC demons into that fight, so if you're using them get rid of them. Once I did I had no more glitches.

Final trillion is easier than what it may look at the beginning(well it's true even for trillion in general), the biggest trick imo is
to leave a square only when it becomes red, usually trillion follows you with its attacks, so if you don't move until the very end all the attacks will land in the same area, this way you don't have to move too much, saving turns and mana

Ah. There were a few that were free when the game launched. Some Neptunia characters, a Monster Monpiece attack, and a handful of palette-swap demons. Dunno if they're still free.

I'd heard of it being glitchy around Perpell, but only experienced it myself due to the DLC.

So... I'm trying to use remote play to play my PS4 a couple of states away. It was working great initially! Played it a ton earlier with only occasional slowdown.

But then this evening happened... It kicked me out and every time I try to start it up again, it's a black screen before it says that the connection was lost. I'm worried that my PS4 is now just on a few states away with nobody able to turn it off. Should I be concerned??

Ok i beat trillion with ashmedia, are all endings just character endings or there's a true ending? If so how to get it?

- Get 100% affection with every character. They must be at 100% when they die.
- Get either 1 billion or 1.5 billion total affection points across all characters. I'm going for 1.5 billion just to be safe.
- Win Ruche's fight with the Agent in chp 5.
- Let
Elma
die during her first battle. I'm assuming this means her first fight with Trillion.
- Choose not to revive anyone in chp 9.
- Beat Trillion with the final character.
(Zeabolos)
- Beat Trillion with the final character using their Final Strike death skill

That should be about it for the true ending, each character has their own ending as well. I would also really suggest looking up an affection point guide so you're giving people their best gifts, as you're most likely not hitting the ap without heavy gifting.

Wow that's a lot of things to do! Thank you very much! :D
I have to say that i don't like when true endings requirements aren't explicit, especially when they are so many.

Ya, this was a game that could have used some kind of hint when it came to figuring out the true ending requirements. You'd assume the affection heart would be part of it, but the high amount of points is another matter that most would likely miss.

VLR graph is really the best way to handle multiple endings.

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask, but can anyone help me with a Vita issue I'm having:

How do I get my PS1 classic games to recognise my PS1 save data on Vita?

I plugged my Vita into my PS3, clicked on content manager, and copied the save data for Alundra onto my Vita.

When I look at my Vita's content manager I can see my Alundra save data is there, but when I fire up the game on Vita and press continue, the game says there is no saved data on the system, and puts me back to the new game screen

What did I do wrong?

So i bought child of light months ago, its of those games i was interested to play but I was playing other games at the time. There was a day I try to get in the game but idk why maybe I wasn't in the mood, got bored really fast. Last weekend I was eager to play something you can say " emotional" , something that could make me feel I wasn't playing just a game.
It might sound stupid coming from a 31 year old guy but there is some times a game that can produce sensations and feelings I cannot even describe. I know it is a game with many faults but gravity rush did that to me in the Vita and was awesome. I cannot believe how much I needed to feel this again , until I played child of light , haven't finished the game and this is the most biased and subjective comment ever. Who cares what this guy feels right? I just want to highly recommend you this game . One thing though, play it in hard, the game is too easy on the normal mode and I have a theory on why.

Man Lemmings Touch sure is rough...
Mario vs Donkey Kong has probably spoiled me about how a modern Lemmings should be done, but the level design and some of the mechanics feel so archaic and it doesn't help that the controls are so dang bad

I've made it through the second tier of levels (Normal) but I'm thinking about stopping playing it.
Hopefully Mousecraft is better...

Ordered Seven Pirates since it will very likely never be localized, hopefully I can get through it with my meager kanji abilities. I managed to platinum Exstetra and Bullet Girls so hopefully it'll be okay.

Any chance someone can help me with the Rocket League Platinum? I just need the play with a friend trophy, but can't find anyone to help me!

If you're able, just add me on PSN quote for ID

They mentioned not long ago after I asked that Root Double is being worked on and any updates will be shared through the Kickstarter page.

Grow Up isn't listed in the OP for release on the 16th. Has it been delayed?

Not that I know of.

On a different note; I'm not sure if I've shown you guys before. but I'm doing a weekly news update for Vita - recapping the important bits like release dates and delays. It's meant to be quick, and usually clocks in under 10 minutes.

Here's the latest (just went live, but covers up to yesterday); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok4B6_e4HZo
