PlayStation Network Thread (Vita/PS3/PS4) | August 2014

Your impressions from the day 1 article says it has frame rate issues? Does that mean it has trouble maintaining 30FPS or is it over 30FPS but fluctuating a lot?

It was Tyler who played it (I'm nowhere near PAX).

If he says framerate issues though, he's talking choppyness - so below 30fps.

Edit; Asked him to clarify, and he said it was mostly as he was moving around and things were being drawn in frame as they came into view. He also said the issues were short lived when they were present.

Great haul! :)

I love this. I think I might order a card myself sometime soon.
 
Wait, ToH has random battles? I thought it was a "See enemy on the map to fight" kind of thing?
Nope, Innocence R and Hearts R both have random encounters. I'm honestly kind of looking forward to it, with how common the other type has become over the years.
 
speaking of memory cards..how big is DR2? i've already ran out of space on my 64gb and just deleted rorona and unit 13. i haven't even used up my borderlands 2 code and im planning to download that as well.

The first one was around 1.3 GB so the second one is probably around that size as well
 
Is it me, or the people that actually are trying to kill off the Vita are those PS4 user themselves? I believe I have seen a lot of people who wish all Vita exclusive to appear on the PS4, and refuse to buy the Vita because "it has no games I have interest in". The fuck is that?

It's the message that Sony's sending right now. "PS Vita: The ultimate Remote Play/indie device." With with such a lacking proposition for prospect buyers, they'll not treat it as the standalone portable gaming system it is.

I have both and I really like my Vita. I don't want to kill it off and whenever I have (or if I do) wish for an exclusive to appear on the PS4 it is usually because I am afraid it wont come out at all.

Alright, I decided to start my Sept Giveaway a couple days early! This is my first time using modbot, so I honestly have no idea how this will work. I set the rules for a 24 hour raffle. Meaning, it should select a winner within 24 hours. I decided to make it 24 hours, so people have a chance to see this (since I'm posting it late at night). Plus it would suck if it was only open for 3 hours and people missed out on entering.

I apologize to everyone that I could only make this United States only. You can apply if you are in a different region, but you will need a US account in order to use the PSN serial as the serial code will NOT work for your region (this includes Canada). There are FIVE PSN codes. In order to enter, randomly choose one of the PSN codes you want to try for (Copy PSN $10 Code #3 -- MB-C33A71D0B4BA5B21 - Taken by ieptbarakat. 8 entrants total. for example, and paste that into body of the message of your PM to Modbot). Or see the GIF in the instructions if that doesn't make sense).

You can ONLY enter ONCE. Only your first entry will be counted.

As this is a raffle, just randomly pick a code you want to go for and enter. As such, try to pick at random so it's not like 100 + people all picking PSN Code #1 for instance. There is no way of telling which PSN code will have the most people choosing. Each unique code has it's own raffle between the people that applied for that code (the code you sent to mod bot). So 5 raffles will be done separately but you may only apply for one of the 5 raffles. Which one you choose is up to you.

10 minutes to go

you can thanks me for this
i'm not joki ng either
i emailed all of the publishers w/ missing games
none of them were told by scea that their games had been dropped from the vita store
none of them requested their removal
 
Look at your original post that you posted the giveaway in.

Awesome! Didn't know the original post updated. Really cool. I'm really glad I went with modbot. My first time using it wasn't 100% smooth, but that was mostly because I was a little unsure of certain things. But I'll definitely keep using it. Thanks for the reply.

You could've entered for all 5 :V

According to the admin, modbot only accepted the first entry from each user and discarded any entry after that. I linked him to my contest, and gave him the rules I put in it. He said you need MULTIENTRY in the rules in order for people to be able to apply for all 5. According to stump, you were only able to apply for 1 out of the 5. Applying for more than 1 would discard each entry after the first.

See below:

Stumpokapow said:
Each code is drawn separately. People are only included for those codes that they specifically entered for. They can only enter for one code unless you used MULTIENTRY, which you didn't use.

Even if you had done MULTIENTRY, people would still only be able to win one. You would not have needed to use NOWINNERSDAILY.

If someone enters for multiple codes, only the first entry will be counted

At least, that is my understanding of it. But fuck, maybe I just don't get it. *shrugs* Either way I'm going to avoid this next time by making some changes to the rules (ie. MULTIENTRY)...and tell people in the instructions to apply for all 5. I'm also going to open it up to more regions.
 
Sorry for the tardiness.
Congrats to the winners and thanks Azula for holding this raffle!

Well, I'm glad Gurumin is back on the store. It's IMO the 2nd best game they've ever published (
Pump It Up Exceed
being #1)
 
Azula doin great work! I just know all those vouchers will be going towards awesome Vita games too :)

So what's the word on HN Producing Perfection at the current sales price? I have zero experience with the series and want to jump in at a low price point initially. $22 here in Australia is pretty cheap considering our usual SonyAU high price.

$7 more and you could pick it up from JB retail if that makes any difference to you.

Alright guys, I really appreciate all the positive feedback. Because this went so well, I'm going to give away 2 more $10 cards right now (the raffle will be only for 3 hours). So if you are up, get on it! I've made it so no one that has already won can win again. You can only apply for ONE code (same as before). Modbot will discard any entry after that. You only have two options this time, so just pick one. These are still US only codes, but in the October giveaway I'll open it up to more regions. Thanks for your patience.

ModBot said:
I am giving away 2 Bonus $10 PSN serial codes. To enter this giveaway, send a PM to ModBot with any subject line. In the body, copy and paste the entire line from the message below that corresponds to the PSN code you want to try to win. (if you include more than one PSN code, you will be blocked from entering). Confused? Watch this GIF tutorial or ask for help.

ModBot Basics:
- This is a giveaway for the thread url: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=865991.
- I really appreciate thank you messages, but please send them to me (Azula, not ModBot!) via PM instead of in thread.


Rules for this Giveaway:
- If you are a lurker--if you have both fewer than five posts in this thread--you are not eligible for this giveaway.
- This giveaway is a raffle. The winners will be selected by random draw 3 hours after the draw was created.
- Only one entry per person. Once you enter one of the 2 raffles Mod Bot will no longer accept any entry after the first.
- Each code has it's own raffle between those that applied for it. It's up to you which code you want to try for, but you can only apply for one!

Neptune PP is NOT a good entry point to they series.

It is an "idol production" game. Note that they are NOT rhythm games. They may look similar, but they are NOT the same.

Get Re;birth, or Noir, or U.

Ohhh this was fun. Thank you Azula. I say do the same thing again, but see if you can blacklist previous winners. Winning twice would be a spirit killer. The wide spread was especially fun especially Azula screwing with the Code #'s and their placing in reference to the order they were listed. Basically, y'all submitted just like I thought y'all would. With the middle and first options being the least submitted ones. That's why I went with Code #3.
It's happening again !! Thanks :)

Well I learned something at least, will use Multi entry in my own future giveaways. Good luck to all who enter~

I'll make sure to make it so previous winners can't enter. But would you guys want that to be forever? Or just for the previous month? I guess that's the tricky question. I plan on doing these monthly for the foreseeable future. I guess I could manage a blacklist that blocks out previous winners, and keep growing that list.

It's really what you guys want though. Initially, I just considered making it so previous winners couldn't enter the following month raffle (but would be eligible again after that month of being blocked from it). So winners of the September giveaway can't enter the October one. But could enter in the December giveaway. But I could make it so people that win can't enter again. I guess ultimately, I just want everyone to have a fair shot (and for everyone to get a chance to win).

Changes for October's giveaway will include: The ability to enter up to 5 times (but you can only win for one of them). I will open it up to more regions, so winners will have to PM me and then I'll buy them their code based on their region (but it has to be one of the approved regions listed in the instructions. ie. one of the regions I can buy digital codes online from. I'll decide which regions those are in the coming month, depending on if I can find a reasonable way to legally buy digital codes in those regions through websites).
 
I thought people are being dramatic saying that a 16GB card isn't enough for the Vita.

Well it turns out they are right, especially with plus.

Really hope the 64GB card would come overseas and hoping another price cut for the 32GB one.

Yeah, I actually hit my limit with my 32gb card. If you plan to go all digital, that adds up quite fast. I guess since your games are technically saved on your PSN account, you can rotate out games you aren't currently playing. But yeah.
