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

Welp. Borderlands 2 is freaking awesome on Vita.

Please support a genuine 3rd party effort and buy this game. I've had a blast so far.

Yup! Absolutely agree. I keep on picking up my Vita thinking I'll play something else (like finish Gravity Rush) and then I find Borderlands 2 already opened up and waiting for me...
 
If we always went by what reviews told us, we wouldn't buy any games

If there's one thing that Japan did well, it's the existence of the "gamecatalog" wiki. Which, weirdly enough, is actually a spinoff of the Kusoge wiki before they got merged.

I have yet to hear an english equivalent, so I guess that the west likes their "controllable" rating and shit.
 
yes. if you have a digital copy and throw in the game card, it will ask you if you want overwrite it, and it will handle the save accordingly. vice versa to go from physical to digital. if you pull down your cloud save, it'll recognize it, no problems.

and yes, BL2 is great... i like it more now than i ever did before
 
Said screw it and started P3P today instead of tomorrow as planned. Studying can wait. Not too far in, but I already really like the story and characters, but that was to be expected. I actually think the dub is a bit better than P4G, but that could also be because there are less voiced lines, which I actually appreciate. Though I am wary of playing P3P after P4G, as I've heard there are some things they definitely improved going forward. Oh also, from what I've played so far, I only have one thing to say.
Yukari >>> Chie
 
I've picked Persona 4 back up after not touching it for a couple of months. I'm not that far in, but it's starting to click. I just had midterms and I'm excited to see where the story is heading.

I wish I'd be able to play it again for the first time.

Yukari looks weird on P3 game character portrait. She looks hotter in the film XD.

Both are really good characters once you've discovered more about them. You'll need Charm (Yukari) and Inteligence (Mitsuru) at max if you want to start their Social Links.
 
Has anyone noticed any changes other than the new TV section on PSN?

Tidux has said there's better stabillity, on friends and party.
 
Giving the Conception 2 demo a try and Jesus Christ, it's so Japan.

But I think I like it. I hate that there is no Japanese audio though. Should I buy? I'm pretty sure I'll be hooked on MonMon come this weeks drop. Atlus games seem to go on sale only rarely in the PAL region.
 
Hey I have a question,

does the free 20 hour battlefield 4 trial allow you to earn and keep trophies? If not, I'm not even going to bother. And does the time start from when you put it in your cart or from when you download it? Thanks.
 
yes. if you have a digital copy and throw in the game card, it will ask you if you want overwrite it, and it will handle the save accordingly. vice versa to go from physical to digital. if you pull down your cloud save, it'll recognize it, no problems.

Maybe I missed it, is the dlc from the ps3 BL2 cross buy for the vita version? I can't make myself buy it without Tina's dlc carrying over.

The vita version comes with all the DLC that is currently available for that version. I'm not sure if Tina's is one of them, but if it is you get it with BL2 vita. I actually am pretty sure it isn't one of the ones included, unfortunately.
 
I have another question, and this time it's regarding a little problem with my new PS3. I plugged everything in and set up the internet connection, logged in with my new account (which I had created yesterday on the website, using my PC) and downloaded the firmware update and store application. But when I try to launch the PS store (US region), it shows the following message: "An error has occurred with PlayStation Store. Close and restart the application. Press the PS button to quit the application."

Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? I thought it could be my router, because it's pretty crappy, but I plugged the modem right into the PS3 Ethernet port and it still kept failing. I could access the web browser and it loaded the pages I tried, and even accepted a few friend requests, so the only problem seems to be the store. I don't know if I got a faulty unit, but I'm inclined to think so.


Here's a picture of the error (sorry for the terrible quality):

The only reason I'd play Golden is to get a platinum on P4 just because I really liked the game. To play a remake of a game that long isn't' something I'd like to do since I have quite the backlog. I was looking at how long it might take, and I see that the estimated time to platinum is approximately 80-140 hours.

I just can't put 100 hours into the game again. Once my backlog has been hammered, I'll take it on.

The store was under maintenance earlier today. When did you last try to enter?

I've been trying constantly during the period between 3 hours and 40 minutes ago. Could that be the reason? I asked two friends to check it themselves on their consoles and they could get in just fine.
 
Costume Quest 2 is coming to every console except the vita. Hopefully this changes seeing as some folks on the tweets also asked for a vita version.
 
Rainbow Moon less than $5 on Vita. Or $7 for both !! Yes please. I've been waiting on this discount. And also, I need a new Vita. Too many scratches. I'll go 2K first then 1K later. Also, Pixlejunk Shooter Cross-Buy. And War Thunder US !! AND E3 !! AAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

There's no exception because the Vita isn't a "console," but a handheld console. If you bunch them up, you'd still have to also mention that the 3DS isn't receiving it either.

what 5$? Since when?
 
What are the chances of a PSN sale next week during E3? Want To buy transistor, but not sure if I should wait a couple days. Not sure what sony usually does around E3 time. Kinda a newbie
cant wait for war thunder to hit PSN!
Anyone know what time this hits? Or when Ps+ games go up? Sorry if this has been answered

Maintenance has been over with for more than 40 minutes. Googling your error message brings up this thread. That should mean it's an issue on Sony's side. I'd follow the instructions listed. Outside of that, I don't know what to suggest.

Yeah, I saw that thread and tried again just now, with no luck. It could be a problem on Sony's servers, though that doesn't explain why some friends could access while I couldn't. Either way, I'm going to ask tomorrow at the store where I bought the console, just because I can't think of anything else to do in the meantime. I also don't want to start Heavy Rain yet (one of the physical games I got with it) for fear of losing my save if I have to give it back and get a new PS3 (if mine turns out to be faulty, that is).

Im just considering the facts that there are some folks who want a vita version of CQ2. If they're able to run CQ2 on the 3DS, then more the merrier, I suppose.
 
borderlands 2 deserves better reviews and more attention is a great game , and a good port with some frame issues when you have lots of enemies on the screen.

GoW Collection is a perfect example how can journalism exagerate something to the point of harming a game it doesnt deserve so bad reviews.

Yes it has frame drops, yes fmv secuences dont look too good.But man inside that little catridge there are 2 massive large games on Ps2. The reviewers said it was unplayable but is far from that . If you enjoyed the PSP titles but never play the originals just buy it, and do it now!.
 
It seems that Sony has ceased PSP shipments in Japan.

-snip-

Looks like they're talking about some sort of trade in program - trade in your PSP and get either 3000 or 4000 yen for towards a Vita depending on conditions.

They also mention the UMD transfer program, though I'm not really sure what's up there.

I really need to dig further into some Japanese.
 
So I just turned on my Vita and my friends list is totally empty. I thought maintenance already finished? Is anyone else having this issue?

Edit: Never mind it fixed itself!
