I just realized that I paid $50 for a nearly 4 year old PSP game and a demo instead of Bloodborne. :l

Look at it this way Flandy, at least you will be playing FFXV before it comes out in 2018 :D!

Bad joke, sorry guys X(
. But I've heard good things from FF Typo-0 so at the very least, you will be getting a great game alongside a demo of a promising one :).

I'm buying FF, by then I will have finished The Order. I will trade that in, and use that value towards Bloodborne. I think both games are must buys.

Then the week before FF there is Tokyo Ghost Hunters which looks interesting too... Fuck.

Ordered the Order.... just 'cause I saw someone say it was coming out Friday.

Reviews are out tomorrow, I'm waiting for that at least. Looks great but I'm sure I can wait to buy if reviews aren't glowing

I actually like reading those funny dialogues. It's just funny.
Can't see why it would offend anyone, though.

Not sure what you're referring to here--monster monpiece? The game probably has less than 10 lines I would consider funny. There are a couple self-aware lines that are great from the random generic monsters but it's mostly terrible. If it were actually really funny like Neptunia it'd be much better for it though. I guess I partially take back what I said--writing a "good story" for a card game is pretty pointless. Writing a funny/charming one would be great.

Only bought it because of GCU and the limited edition. Mostly because of the Amano art steelbook. Hope one of either the game or the demo aren't terrible but you never know with Squeen

Thanks for the Giveaway!


On another note...

Folks - I've just come off of finishing P4G & P3P for a combined play time of ~150 hours. I'm ashamed to admit that because of my limited attention span, and despite my love for the genre the only other JRPG I've ever finished was Ar Tonelico which clocked in at around 60 hours, iirc.

Now I have a fear of commitment. Are these lengths typical for JRPGs or are these outliers? Can I actually play other games in the genre without tying myself up for weeks
months
?

Persona 3 and 4 are both quite long, so that's not really too unusual. I don't remember how long Ar Tonelico took me, but I remember it being of a decent length, too. There are plenty of shorter games, though, as well as others that are ridiculously long like Xenoblade and Dragon Quest VIII (just mentioning ones that I remember playing for huge amounts off time).

That is nothing man; my four-back to back playthroughs of Persona 4 Golden compounded into 200+ hours XD! I don't play JRPG's that often, so I can't give you a exact time-frame for completion, but my guess is that games of that type normally last from 40-80 hours depending on your skill and experience level.

The Persona games in your case sucked so much of your time due to how, well, engrossing their worlds are. One can't help being invested in a game world with such human-like characters :), so being invested in what happens next and pushing yourself to keep on playing is more then likely.

I guess the answer to your question is what you want out of the games; if you want to fully absorb the worlds....your in for quite a long while. But if you are just playing the game to beat the story? Most likely quite a bit shorter (30-40 hours). Hope this helps you deadfolk :).

I've started playing FF X HD on Vita.
How do I see what weapons and armor are better than what I have equipped?
Is Tidus an annoying douche the whole game?
He has the kind of personality that aggravates me...

Weapons are not like normal FF weapons. They have the skills listed and no other properties--no stats. Buy/equip them based on their skills.

Tidus is just kind of an idiot, IMO he gets somewhat better as it goes on, but it's really more like he goes in and out of being an idiot. I don't mind him as much as some people seem to though. Also as more characters come in Tidus talks slightly less in relative terms. To me, one Auron is worth a Tidus

Why are you reading my tag instead of the title of my post?
Poor The Order. It's pre launch week has been filled with crap. Maybe reviews will help it out. I'm buying it because of GCU. Then probably trading it in getting the FF15 demo then trading that in for Bloodborne.

Kick & Fennick killed my Vita. It's been over a year since I had to restart my system by pressing the on/off button for so long.

Yah, the bottles sounds are a big part of the Sly series and they are always so fun to find :D (odd they cut them from Sly 3 though :l).

That happened with Sonic Racing for me a while back (let me guess, the screen went completely black, with white text telling you to reset your system?), but nothing bad happened to the Vita after that; it still works great and all. It is a data issue I think; the Memory card got to busy or something, messing up the games data and causing it to get an error.

Not quite on the level of KZ mercenary, but Wipeout 2048, Uncharted and Freedom Wars all look great. Gravity Rush too if not for all the fog. Plenty of Vita games have been lookers--it's a shame there hasn't been more effort on it, but it's not like it's totally unused either. I'm honestly not sure what could have been done about it because "no games" is patently false, if anything there's more "console like" exclusives on Vita than PSP

PS4 is such a POS hardware. Was playing GGXRD and it turn it off by itself, and when I turn it one again, it stucked in the safe mode death loop. I was afraid that it bricked, but it eventually restored itself. As a punishment, it wiped out all my HD.

I had to download everything again and the plus saves was some days ago, and I lost a lot of GG progress (fuck the MOM mode and the 1mil World Dollars trophy).

Still trying to decide whether to preorder. Can't even trade it, as I'll have to get it digitally.

Well that's truth, I only meant it because of budget for a game like this. Freedom Wars looked great, but not as great and is a 2014 game, while KZ is a 2013 game. So I wonder if they would have been able to push the hardware some more. Not because of "no games", since I've got lots of games fot the Vita and I love it.

Never had that happen, is that an Xrd cash issue or something? I think I can wait to play it if so. Only issues I've had on PS4 are LBP3 pre-patch and Binding of Isaac which is just classic Nicalis programming

Yeah, them trying to push it more would be nice. We're sort of past the point where I can blame them though, sales probably aren't worth it. The lack of marketing and poorly managed store/compatibility, now that's pretty egregious regardless. On the plus side I don't think they'll end support for years since indies and small/mid size Japanese studios seem plenty happy to support Vita regardless of Sony's marketing/first party support.

Been playing Soul Sacrifice Delta and doing the "Age of..." pacts to grind for offerings and get some of the trophies. Is there a guide that shows the unlock requirements for pacts? In "Age of Intrigue" I have one blacked out pact and in "Age of Escape" there's a few that won't unlock. Any help would be much appreciated!

No. If you search safe mode death loop, you will find several reports with different game and firmware combos with this problem. In fact, my friend told me the solution for this (unplug the energy cable), because it already happened with him, so it is not a singular ocurrence. The thing is that it wiped out my HD, and not from him.

I never actually started Kick & Fennick thanks to Dangan Ronpa and Neptunia, is it good?

BTW, found a used collector's edition of Demon Gaze, outside box is a bit warped, but it's complete in box--$55, worth it? I can't really find the game for less than $40 anyway, the artbook/OST good?
