I should watch Kung Pow again.
I played more of Darksides II and man I feel bad for not playing this sooner; really love what Vigil Games did with this one 
.
The new transversal ablities Death has are awesome and it reminds me a lot of how Prince controlled in the 3D Prince of Persia's. The expanded exploration ablities really helps make the level design open up, leading to lots of extra tombs and dungeons for collecting loot and gear.
The combat is a nice upgrade too, with the secondary weapons being different per type. Do you want the super-fast but not that strong gauntlets or the slow but very powerful hammer to join your swift blade attacks? That alongside some great foes to fight and an awesome dodge move really make the combat fun for me .
The story isn't really grabbing me here but the original Darksiders didn't grab me either; it was the Zelda mixed with God of War gameplay that made me love that game. Here, that DNA is the same but Diablo and Skyrim seem to be added into that DNA too; the world is a lot more open compared to the first game and I love how you have all these extra locations to explore alongside the main dungeons. It helps make the game feel 'large', making things really fun.
How the game runs in PS Now is impressive; the frame-rate rarely dipped on me and the image quality and input lag was a lot better for this compared to Sonic Generations and Sonic 4 Ep. 2.
Overall, I love what I am playing so far and it is amazing to be doing this on the Vita. To think, playing this and Sonic Generations on my favorite gaming platform, that is great :'). I might considering getting the full PS Now subscription down the line, as the service is great so far.
....Or, I might just get Darksiders II as a retail copy for my PS3 in the next week or so.

Has anyone in the States ordered videogames off Amazon uk? They have a few Vita releases I would like to pick up but figured I would ask here for feedback before attempting an order.
Lots of PSP games have gone on sale on the EU shop. Hasn't gotten a PS blog update or store shortcut yet though. Should get a full list later today.
For example:
https://store.playstation.com/#!/nl...-psp/cid=EP0102-ULES00193_00-PPCBREATHO000001
For example:

It wouldn't be the first time a PS3 game shows up on the Vita storefront.
Oh, the irony!

I would have bought that had they localized the vita version too. Sadly those were the times when Bamco was still hesitant to localize their games. Pass on the extended play sale, golden week + flash sale killed my monthly gaming budget.
Three weeks, you mean? June 9th.

I am now in Korea without my consoles. Would love to have ps Now, but alas.
I want to say that's been on the store since the game's launch, but only viewable by search. Now it's featured in the sales section on the Vita store ...

The truth hurts, my friend.Don't ruin my night by adding an extra week!
Which banned game? There's like, 3 or 4 on the GAF now.

VitaGAF. The movie has sold me on Mad Max. That was fucking incredible, just came out of the theatre
Some of the games on sale (games I don't have):
LocoRoco
Daxter
Riviera
Patapon
Patapon 3
Motorstorm arctic edge
Tomb Raider Legend
Darkstalkers Chronicles
Wipeout Pulse
Capcom Puzzle World
Tomb Raider Anniversary
Syphon Filter Dark Mirror
Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
Shin Megami Tensei Persona
I just revisited Sonic Transformed and after being enamored with it when it first came out I realized after playing it again how bad the Vita port is--great IQ but unstable framerate. Wipeout was once my favorite PS franchise but lately I've felt that the combat takes away from the racing experience, especially given how fast 2048 is. And of course there's NFS Most Wanted which is a well-designed game but oh god that framerate...
So I'm looking elsewhere on PSN:
Ridge Racer R4 - Already finished this game on my Vita but it was great so I'm going to install it again.
Gran Turismo PSP - How is this game? I loved GT on PSone but I never played this version.
MotorStorm RC - This is on sale now. I have the free Scion-branded version and it was okay. Is the full game any good?
Any games I'm missing?

Is Patapon 3 good? Played 1 and 2 ages ago but never touched 3

IIRC GT PSP isn't compatible in NA, so if that's where you are (or the store you're using) that's out.
Ridge Racer Vita is actually a decent arcade drift racer - but it's a bit of a pain that the game's broken into DLC bits and not a complete package anywhere.
Table Top Racing is a good Sonic-like game to play with some friends, but doesn't offer a ton of variety. It's cheap though, and good for a quick round by yourself as well.
Thanks for the input. GT PSP shows up in the NA PSN store on my Vita. It's a recent change I think--it was mentioned in another thread somewhere.
I ruled out RR Vita because I heard the framerate was 30. For racing and fighting games it's 60FPS for me or bust.
I'll look for footage of Table Top Racing. It's tempting at $3.
It's going be winning a lot awards this year.
Have you tried Ridge Racer PSP? It's 60fps and plays like a dream.
Oooh thanks. Gonna add that to my list.

The Order is 31,99 for Plus members on EU PSN.
Still waiting for 18,86 though

I want to get Trails in the Sky, but there's a remaster of it coming to Vita. No western localization confirmed though.
Perhaps it's too far away to care too much about that.
By the way, does anyone know if the Persona 2 + Trails in the Sky bundle has a separate download for each game, or if it forces you do download both?

I don't think the remaster will come here. I mean, the translation is done (barring new scenes) but I still doubt that the work would pay off. I'd rather they focus completely on the unlocalized ones.
I doubt we'll get the remaster, but the translation on PSP is fucked anyway so you should grab it on Steam
Is the PSP translation of Trails really that bad? I liked it.
important story elements are translated backwards, the translator actually said he felt guilty for getting paid for doing such a terrible job, it's really bad, xseed completely retranslated it for the steam release and there's no way they would've put so many resources into that if the PSP translation was serviceable
I'll have to read up on this some more, but you might have saved me 9 euros so my wallet is grateful! Though I'd prefer it on a handheld, I'm down for playing it on PC too.
Well shit. The PSP version is all I have it on and I really am not equipped to play an RPG on PC. Guess I'm shit out of luck.

I'm going to see Fury Road on Friday, so excited. That last gameplay trailer got me interested, dat weather/sandstorm.
Oddly enough, I've just started this on Wii U. I've finished the first mission and the semi-open world has opened up, allowing me my choice of side- and main-quests. I'm enjoying it so far.
It's not?
Sigh.
Oh yeah, does Operation Abyss have any DLC?

Only character portraits afaik.
Parakeetman
No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
The JP version only had Character Portraits and items. Nothing that was story related.
Chaos Head Noah CP DLC
Limited Edition Swimsuit CP DLC
Famitsu CP DLC
The items were stuff like power recorders and some monster lv up item. (increases game difficulty)
Okay, thanks for that. I'll have a look at them and then see if I need to get an American copy for my Vita or if it's fine sticking to a European copy.
Does the game only have one difficulty setting then?
H.Protagonist
[-_-]/
Nonsense. It wasn't retranslated. There were a handful of translation errors here and there, especially near the end, but none of them drastically affect the storyline. It wasn't a perfect translation job, to be sure, but one we've had the chance to amend in the PC version where needed. Other changes have just been a few tweaks here and there while we're doing SC and Hatsuu going nuts and redoing the army ranks. Because she's crazy.

Dont think it has a difficulty setting at least I dont remember any. All the item did was like raise all enemy levels by 5. I didnt look to see if its in the US version too. Yeah the US version does have the items too.

Augh, Neptunia U has free DLC swimsuits and (OP) weapons. Would be nice if PSN let me actually see the DLC when reviewing a game. Wouldn't have changed my opinion but it's nice. Though like I always say, why is free DLC not just patched into the game, I'm pretty sure these were all 100kb unlock codes too so space isn't a valid concern.
You all should be getting them Patapons and LocoRoco. I'm unsure why the best Patapon (2) is missing, but 3 is a good starting point I guess. 1 is pretty brutal and unrefined.
Well, Death Mode has the brutal difficulty anyway, but yeah there's definitely too much RNG. I always interpreted "death mode" as something more like those "kill you a billion times" platformers than something hard but fair like Mega Man. It's a poor inclusion either way. It doesn't really matter especially at $4 since the main content is great, but it's annoying that like 50% of the trophies are death mode. I'm still missing 4 of them and I swear they ones I'm stuck on are entirely RNG.
I remember this if only because it was the first time I got a press release about female characters in swim suits

You'll learn to be patient. I'm super used to Amazon 2 day shipping, but I've ordered a couple dozen things from Japan in the last 6 months and almost all of them took over 2 weeks to arrive. I think I'm only waiting on one order now though, progress. I'm just glad that only one was damaged, and I got a full refund (and didn't even have to send it back)

2 weeks doesn't seem like a bad turnaround time. I'm expecting a month so 2 weeks would be awesome lol. So have you imported anything you would recommend for Vita/PS4?
SerTapTap
Member
Most of my imports are on 360 since there's a ton of stuff that's just never going to get localized. Only PS4 imports are Neptunia VII and Estival Versus, both are certain to get localized and Neptunia VII isn't here yet. Estival is totally playable and quite enjoyable but if you can wait I would, I only imported so I could get the figures from the limited editions. My only Vita imports aren't here yet. And I guess I have estival versus imported for Vita but I have never/will never open it.
And wait depends on the shipping method. If you get EMS it can take less than a week, SAL is 2 weeks if you're lucky, a month to two if you're not, but I've been lucky more often than not lately. But to balance it out I was waiting on that Neptune figure for 3 months. The seller was away and shipped late, upgraded shipping for free, but then had to re-ship it, then it finally actually arrived.

Yeah I enjoyed DS II. Overall I did like the first one better, but the second one was great fun too.
I'm thinking of subbing to PS Now as well. I really want to go back and play Uncharted 2 (and I never did play Uncharted 3).
Anyone play UC 2 through PS Now? Is there any lag or performance issues? I know it's highly dependent on your connection but was wondering about any other issues before I spend the money.
