Welcome to PSN man :D!

Hope you love your Vita and if you want any recommendations, feel free to ask :).

You likely spent a lot already but if you have a NA PSN account and are willing to spend 20+ bucks, check out Ar No Surge Plus.

It is a great game with a lot of strong elements; a story that is very strong, combat system that is really fun and I wish more JRPG's use, and a lot of content to suck yourself into. You will need to read this to understand everything but otherwise, check the game out :D.

Top of the Page: Wow, got to the top of the page for the first time in a while :D.

Everyone get Ar No Surge Plus and read this to catch up with the games story :).

Congrats on your new acquisition! As stated, you're missing SUPERBEAT: XONiC if you're into rhythm games for sure...

and I don't see Hot Shots Golf: World invitational anywhere.... you'll have to remedy that*

That's frickin' blasphemy.

There really are a lot of gems in the Vita's library though, if we listed them all you'd be in debt up to your ears.

I don't know the specifics of German and UK power systems, but there's always a way to get it to work.

  • If the voltage is different you'd need a voltage converting plug adapter, and I assume the plug socket itself is different so it'd have to have that as well (more expensive option).
  • If the voltage is the same however, it'd be a straight plug socket adapter - no voltage conversion (these are cheaper).

Shit stuff like this always makes me nervous.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DMCQ3R2/

Can I just buy a uk power lead like the one above? Seems like a simplier solution.

Man that is one sexy Vita! Sometime next year I'd love to pick up that blue Vita or the Slime Vita that came out in Japan.

P4G was the first Vita game I played but I never actually finished it. I'd definitely recommend a game with a bit more action when you're finished with P4G. Muramasa Rebirth is a gorgeous side scrolling game that has surprisingly fun combat. Definitely give that a try.

You certainly don't need any more games right now lol but Toukiden Kiwami is currently on sale. Its one of the best looking Vita games and imo, one of the most fun Vita games to play. It's sort of a more casual monster hunter. Fight gigantic monsters, destroy body parts, use those body parts to build better weapon/armors, rinse and repeat. I found the story pretty good for a hunting game as well.

Part of being a Vita owner is amassing a large backlog of games that you'll never have time to actually play and it seems like you've already begun. No reason to stop now lol

After finishing Soul Sacrifice 2 years ago, I stared Delta recently. What an amazing improvement over the first one. Much more content, better graphics and tons of new stories. I don't know if you guys agree but Soul Sacrifice has one hell of a lore and I think it's one of the best stories out there.

It's disappointing that we will never get Soul Sacrifice 2 on Vita. Maybe they will consider it for PS4 but this game just feels right on the handheld.

I love SSD! It's a shame we'll probably never see SS2 come out :(. I enjoyed the story focus, grim (ha!) aesthetics and the amount of builds you could have.

Saw the footage of the game in the link and it really looks like its blending real-time combat systems from Lost Song but with the in-depth skill systems from Hollow Fragment. Having a party of four (one playable) is great and hopefully the story will be strong as Lost Song showed me they can do a solid job with storytelling with proper translation.

Now we have a clear idea on Bamco's release line up and I can expected Bamco's releases to be like this:
-Digimon Cyber Sleuth: Feb. 2016
-God Eater Resurrection: March/April 2016
-Naruto Ninja Storm PS4: May 2016
-Ray Giant: June 2016
-Gundam Vs.: July 2016
-One Piece Burning Blood: June/July 2016
-God Eater 2: Rage Burst: July/August 2016
-Sword Art Online Hollow Realization: Sept./Oct. 2016
-Tales PS4: November 2016
Click to expand...

There are also Project X Zone 2, Dark Souls 3, Ace Combat 8 and Tekken 7 if you're counting for all platforms. And yes, Namco is the most awesome publisher of 2016.

Hi guys. I have a question and if this is the wrong place, please let me know. I don't own any current PS system, just the PSP. And I'm running into some troubles. I just want to be able to purchase and dl onto my psp Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. However, my PSP is unable to recognize my wpa-2 router so I can't connect online. I've tried numerous solutions that people claim make the psp be able to connect to wpa-2 and none have worked, including manual entry of my dns's, ip addresses, etc. etc. I don't want to compromise my connection by switching to WPA so. : / Unless I'm somehow entering the wrong information I'm out of luck in being able to get my psp to connect at all to the internet.

If I were to purchase it from the Playstation Store on my pc, can I transfer it to my memory stick via my PC and be good to go?

I don't think you can ever download from psn to your pc

You have to assign a current PS platform for it to download to

Okay. I really have never used the Playstation Network much before, never liked my initial experiences with it so (I'm aware that's not a good judgment of the Network and it's probably more of a hardware thing with the PSP than anything else)....just trying to get a single game. < _ >
So I'm basically SOL unless I spend loads of money buying a PS TV (Really, I just want P2:EP. I have been tempted by a PS TV before for that and other games but I really don't want to be spending loads of money when I just want the one thing for now) or somehow get my PSP to connect to the internet?

Unfortunately yes, and Sony discontinued PSN support for the PSP so you have to make your purchase on your pc first before you can download it to your PSP since PSP can only redownload purchased content

If anyone's looking for something to do this holiday, I've got a recently released Vita-compatible PSP RPG that needs a guest reviewer (might be going in the magazine). PM me if you're interested, with a couple words on why I should pick you. ^_^

Also, I'm leaning further towards making a 5th video after today. Who knew there'd be so much announced this week? Crazy shit.

Sent you a PM about the review and would be happy to help :).

And this week is crazy for Vita announcements XD! Bamco is really pulling through for the console and I can't wait for the God Eater games, Gundam Vs., One Piece and SAO: HR to release :D.

Is there a reason you can't change your security settings, download the game, then change them back? Your security would be compromised for, what, an hour or two? It's not like the PSP has to be continuously connected to play the game.

I've been having issues like that for the past two days; got downloads to work but it too many tries to get the download started.

I'm assuming their is a lot of traffic on PSN (in all regions) for the holidays and that is causing the issues.

Late but what a shitty TOTPR. "Help us!". A few posts later: "I don't care about preserving games". Yeah, right.

On topic, I really want to know how people are saying that the PS4 version of Arkham Knight is "the best one". Beautiful, sure, but shitty framerate when I ram the Batmobile into a pile of cars/debris/stuff.

Yes, you need to be very careful (I mean VERY) because the punch outs of the screen protector are for OG only and you basically have to apply the actual protector based on your measurement by eye.

My current protecter is actually a phablet protector with the top part chopped off. It actually protects the whole screen

So does Amazon usually do this around the holidays with select games, where they keep dropping them several cents an hour for days or weeks on end? Keep checking on the Vita games and noticing the price won't stay still for many of them.

Thanks for the recommendations guys! So now I also have a PS4 through my brother, Christmas came early!

I'm looking into buying Bloodborne The Old Hunters Edtion from PlayAsia but I have lots of questions that I can't find answers to online, does anybody have this version?
Does it come with English Dub and English item description (English Subs basically)? And does this version have the DLC included on the disc, in other words, not a download code?

I wouldn't think changing your connection to WPA for amount of time it takes to download a single game is particularly risky. Just change it back afterwords.

I expected it (AK) to be much better, rock solid 30fps and great graphics, to justify the hype that I heard about Rocksteady being "amazing", "wizards" if I recall one Digital Foundry article.

Still, one of the prettiest games available on consoles, just not what I expected.

I wasn't impressed with the graphics either, and it didn't help that the game itself is pretty bad.

Steins;Gate 15&#8364;
Corpse Party BD 28,50&#8364;
Norn9 25&#8364;
Code Realize 25&#8364;

PS4:
Astebreed 7&#8364;

Shovel Knight is worth any and all of your money. I was only waiting for a drop because I already own it on Steam. It's one of the few indies that got a retail release and I think that will at least delay the PS+ inclusion a bit, but you never know of course.

On the contrary, I'd hardly see either of those end up on PS+ anytime soon. I'd like to be disproven though :p

Lack of AC4 in the sale (while most of the others eligible PS+ retail games are) is worrying. I've just got it despite not having a PS4 yet, it was in a great 3 games for 19€ sale. I seriously hope it's not coming this month...


Oh, Bioshock is 3€ again. I own 2 and Infinite through plus and I haven't played them yet so I'm not sure that getting another game would be a good idea, considering that I don't even know if I'm gonna like it. Can I start with 2 or Infinite?

I can't find a post to back this up but apparently the Axiom Verge dev said he won't discount the game in the first 6 months of release and will never put the game up as a free Plus game. Of course he can always change his mind I guess.
