I think that's an unrelated "reticulating splines" type message
Aye, everyone complains about that part lol. But soon after that you unlock (purchase the right to) fast travel, and then everything is bliss.
Here's the OT, btw.

Killer, thanks. Was meaning to search for it, but am lazy, and somewhat busy at work. I have fast travel available, but I am electing to not buy it. I like running around the place, that wasn't really a concern, but I guess if I *have* to do something that requires, I might as well have the option available. I just don't have to use it

Yea, I think that's just a goofy load screen message like 'creating enemy robots' or 'planting the grass'... it just was randomly put with the vita message.
Oh right. Not really enraged now then. If it was deliberate though, my god.
No, in a LBP loading screen the top caption and the bottom text are two separate things, it's just a coincidence here.
EDIT: beaten

So how do I find out who's making the OT for Guilty Gear Xrd and when it will go live?

PS TV has been annoying to set up, with bubble arrangement losing it's shit, cross checking stuff to see what works and doesn't, having to use wifi-only for content manager (worse, since my new place dampens wifi down to 10-30mbps from 50+) to make sure I get my current saves and DLC configuration (if only saves were separate).
I see things in the sidebar recommendations that aren't listed as compatible or listed in the actual game section I'm looking at... stuff I don't even feel like wasting time experiment with, and can't be sure if it will get confused by region (New Little King's Story etc) or version (physical copies vs HD 2packs vs standalone copies ala MGS2&3).
Saw Motorstorm RC was compatible on the store and the online list... but I try to load it and it's incompatible. It's fully patched. So I go to search the store again, and see that Motorstorm RC "Complete Edition" is on the store, but not vanilla... even though they're the same thing, since I own all the DLC from it (got hooked on the game early in the Vita lifecycle). I also don't own the CE, even though I own everything in it... probably because I got Motorstorm RC free, when it was free for all early adopters. Likely the same reason all the DLC is crossbuy/platformer with PS3, but the base game isn't.
I'm always a very confused Vita owner with a lot of 1st world probs.

Compatibility sure is needlessly confusing, but make sure to click the "refresh live area" thing, that's what's needed to make Shinovi Versus work even though it's compatible out of the box. The whitelist is an absolutely terrible idea. Require compatibility to be listed on the PSTV store, throw a warning for blacklisted games but let people play at their own risk, everyone's happy.

I subbed last year in september, when they did a 12 months+3 promotion. I don't seem to recall any other promotions after that (maybe early 2014?), but the last months there have been none.
My current sub is running out this friday, so I'm hoping on a promotion this wednesday (a fool's hope). Otherwise I'm doubting between resubbing for this month or immediately a one year subscription. Resubbing each month becomes too costly in the long run.
Same. Also, it'd put me over $100 for the promo.

Yeah, that was the first thing I did, to make sure it was patched. Game hasn't been patched since 2012, probably, and there's not a new one available for it.
I think my Motorstorm RC is just a different version. Same way Retro City Rampage has all sorts of weird versions, depending on which system you're looking at DL history on, from being an early cross-buy/platform title and a PS+ title later on.
...and yes, whitelist the store all you want. Let me throw in my 64GB card from my Vita, and see for myself what works and what doesn't without shit going haywire, disassembling all the bubble folders, and making a lot of bubbles go invisible whether they're compatible or not.

I think the bubble thing is retail games--swapping cards is not nice with that. I don't have much issue swapping cards (I still don't do it) but I think it's because I have few retail games. In fact I've bought more this year than I have since I got it by about double

Just saw JP Ps+, and my god their selection is amazing.
Well they barely have any indie games, so...
Not on the dot but nowhere as bad as GCT. Usually early afternoon on Thursdays around 1PM Japan time give or take a few hours.
The rolling PS1 archives access makes up for any lack of indies though
I don't think they give away PS1 games on JP PS+
Can't you just put it up whenever it's midnight there?
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Um...but they do? Like peorist said, they have a "rolling archive" of PS1 games on J-PS+.
http://www.jp.playstation.com/psn/plus/123titlelineup.html
Oh they do, there's currently 90 PS1 games available for access. http://www.jp.playstation.com/psn/plus/123titlelineup.html

All my digital games do the shuffle too. I know the tricks of the trade for swapping Vita cards and keeping things 99% in place, but it seems wildly unpredictable on here. Weirdly enough, when I put a card back in the Vita, it's relatively intact, and retail games don't budge. This 32GB card is staying in there and never coming out.
On what I said in my other post... I'm soooo used to playing Vita games on Vita (and dat OLED), that it looks and feels weird to me on a TV, but PSOne and PSP seems more at home. Maybe I'll just make it a backwards-compatibility box.
Depeends on if I'd be awake then lol (been sick this week). And I like to be aware of any quick to fix errors or such.
Oh wow and only after 2 weeks that they got the game in stock.

I'd play every game made on this glorious device if I could! But yea, anything PSOne and older just looks so great on it. I'd love to see how PS2 games look, if it were ever possible..

This makes me want to have SCEA start adding PS1 games every now and then.

If I tell myself there won't be any Vita sales this week, I won't be as disappointed, right?

They're saving up for the mega Playstation Experience sale next week, believe.
edit: more Freedom Wars DLCs this week, and Costume Pack A is still MIA

US PSN holiday sale 1
Can't beat Flow for that price, Raiden 4 Overkill is a good pickup too if you like oldschool shmups (though I don't specifically enjoy the overkill mechanic all that much). Contrast is an interesting artsy game that doesn't....really go anywhere, unfortunately. Feels like a good start then stops. Alright puzzles aside from some bugs that I Think they fixed. I played on PS4 not PS3 though. Tales of Symphonia is a classic. You can skip Dawn of the New World. It's almost FFX-2 levels of "what did you do to the story" without the FFX-2 combat system

Sweet. I was waiting for a deal on Raiden 4: Overkill. I'm definitely getting that. And that's pretty much it for me for this week's sale.

Everyone who hasn't, get on this, it isn't my contender for vita GOTY for no reason aha
$24 seems about right for a good game with a crappy localization job. Will buy.

Finally, some Vita sales, sheesh.
Runner2 and Dustforce are mine. Need to check the budget before getting SAO.

Guess I'm going to have to wait next for next weeks sale. I don't see anything of interest on sale.

Local multiplayer only isn't exactly the best fit for Vita, surely?

Though Vita TV enables it (not sure how many games take advantage of that. I think Skullgirls?)

Also Nidhogg and Spelunky.
Posters on the PS Blog will port beg absolutely every single indie game.
