Thanks. Not a pc gamer at all, so this is my best bet.

Saw this in a manga called Omaera Zenin Mendokusai!
Thought that might be a smile put on someone's face
Maybe someone can help me understand what the hell is going on here.
In the stupid gaming questions thread I asked wether I could rent a PS4 game, install the game data from the disc, then use the 'Buy' button in the overview menu to essentially convert the install to a digital game. Someone posted that they should use the same install data so it was possible. Turns out its not possible and I had to delete the disc install and re-download the game.
So I'm downloading it now, and the game size on the store is 22.8GB (Tomb Raider Definitive), however in my downloads it is showing up as only 4.9GB. I've restarted the download twice, and it starts off at 22GB, then goes to 4GB. WTF is going on?

Maybe the 4Gb is the file needed just to start the game, and the rest of the 23 will download after that. I wouldn't keep stopping it and restarting it, just let it go.

After spending a few hours with the Vita 2000 today I have to say that I'm in love with it. It feels so much better to use compared to the original and the round, non-recessed home/start/select buttons are a blessing. I do feel that it's time to finally graduate from the 8 GB memory stick, though. I've been scraping by for nearly three years with it but I'm so sick of having to micromanage everything.
That said, I'm not entirely committed to paying $80+ for a 32 GB stick. Have any of you had luck in the past buying used sticks on eBay or Amazon? $50-ish seems like the magic amount I'd be willing to pay.

I've seen the 32GB memory card go for $40 new a few times in the past few months, just wait for a sale somewhere.
The 32 GB cards are currently $50 new at Gamestop. You'll need luck to snag one from Amazon or eBay at that price.

I usually vote but, hardly used my Vita this month.. new game releases/sales didn't really interest me.
Ayesha+ should make me pick it up again in January though.

There's still tons of indies exclusive or at least first on playstation. PS+ alone keeps my PS4 in use, thanks to BOI Rebirth it might be my most used console this year. I love my PC in theory but god fucking damn when shit goes wrong on PC it's the worst shit in the world. Tired of having to be super careful about purchases so I haven't really bought much on PC lately.

Played Resogun for the first time (on the Vita, haven't played it on PS4), quite challenging I have to say.
I hope that Pure Chess and TWD S2 for Vita will also be on sale.

Vita and PS3 ver. were up on EU PSN a week before US PSN :V
Anyone getting an error when trying to run the game? I just dled it but it gives me an error that it can't verify license or something.

It's 30fps but runs really well. Visuals have obviously taken a hit too but it looks fine in motion. Bomb and throwing being on face buttons instead of rear touch makes it a better experience than remote play. And yeah it's cross buy.Resogun is out on Vita? Good performance?

You can set the same controls on PS4 so Remote Play is still a far superior experience in good network conditions. I don't think it was in at launch, but there's an optional control scheme clearly designed for Remote Play, it's even remappable.

Top-3 Vita (only counting 2014 releases):
Toukiden: The Age Of Demons
Personally, this is the hunting game I enjoy most other than Monster Hunter. It's nothing fancy, but it's solid throughout with a great deal of potential for expansions and sequels. I just like the designs, which is a great plus when it comes to collecting weapons and armour, as well as the mythology. The battle system could use some tweaks, more depth and better balancing, but is enjoyable and a great starting effort.
Demon Gaze
Great DRPG, especially if you are looking for an entry to the genre. Again, does nothing too fancy, but plays to the genres strengths and focuses on being a good game first and foremost.
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Yeah, I liked the first one more. Less annoying minigames, better atmosphere and a more likeable cast. Of course it has the advantage of going first and being a bigger surprise of despair, but in retrospect I still think that alone does not make it superior to the sequel for me.
Rogue Legacy would probably take the top, but I played that one mostly on the PS3.
Top-10 overall:

You can?! I had no idea you could map the controls in Resogun. Must have been patched in after I stopped playing it.

Do not buy Switch Galaxy Ultra. Big disappointment. Will write more later.
Honestly I watched some footage the day it was released and it didn't impress me at all. :/

Yeah I need to apologize for hyping it here. The PS Mobile version was excellent but they messed it up and are charging a silly $18.

I cant log in to PSN store on the web, I was able to log in this morning but not now. I thougt they had fixed everything?
Same here. Can't log in on Vita or on the webstore
Mmmmm... I don't know what to think, i went to a store that usually has many Vitas and even had the PS4 + Vita bundles and i didn't found a single Vita!
Obviously i would like to think that they sold all the Vitas but i can't stop thinking that not even a single Vita remained is suspicious(some retailers clearly boycotted Vita the first year and half).
Is the psn still down or is it now ok? I bought credit for neptune and natural doctrine!

This is fucking pathetic.
Sony should hire more/better engineers as well as more/better Community/PR managers.
SONY employees ought to be ashamed of their company.

DDOS is really beyond their control... I mean I can't even begin to explain how one would be able to prevent them. Technically, all a DDOS is, is a shit load of requests sent to the server all at once, no hacking involved...

Blame it on the lizard shitheads instead. Not on Sony or MS. I wonder in what state their servers are in. Substituting entire servers is probably what they are gonna do, can't imagine it being fun or cheap for them.
It's usually a good idea to get informed about a subject before you rage about it.

Please direct me to information from Sony regarding what is happening with the PSN.

DDOS attacks have gotten more efficient and effective recently. That's why they're so prevalent at the moment. Soon the server defence tech will catch up and it will be good again, but this is a cycle.
Obviously we should condemn the DDOSers but complaining to/about Sony and MS and whoever else will push them to develop their anti-DDOS measures faster.

Until then, lets all take a chance to bond.

I'm not doing your homework for you. There's plenty of information on what's going on that's easy to find.
Hello Fish!
My turn?
Hello, my name's bob, and I'm a videogameaholic. One of those two statements is not true.
I could stay signed into PSN long enough to download NepNep yesterday. Game's fun so far, just unsure about the voices. English ones are good for some (Neptune) and a bit worse for others (Compa), but it seems that more scenes are voiced in japanese and the cast looks pretty high standard. Are there many cutscenes or battles with major story dialog (since those aren't subbed) and is the voiced ratio really that much lower in english?

We should bond by voting for GotM. Only 4 people have voted so far, and all of them were for different games. I might have to do a coin toss to decide the winner.

Just give the award to Miku again
If not enough people vote and it ends up being a tie, I'm giving the title to Soul Sacrifice Delta.
That's how I'm feeling. All my gaming friends are raging about PSN being down and I'm just sitting here playing Tales of Hearts R while the world is apparently burning down around me lol
