Anything else I should grab?
Anything I should drop?
Strike Zero and Frutridium aren't that good. Get Don't Die Mr. Robot, Hustle Kings, Olli Olli, or Rollers of the Realm instead.

Spent about an hour with DJ Max Technica Tune on the Vita today and I'm incredibly disappointed. It's garbage for me for two reasons. The music does absolutely nothing for me - it's just terrible. And I feel like I'm playing a $1.99 phone game with the touch screen mechanics. Except I spent $45 on this one, lol. It's about 1% of the game Elite Beat Agents is IMO. I loved the songs in EBA and the stylus interface allowed the very precise timing. I'm just tilting the Vita every which way trying to reach all the spots with my thumbs. I might think you're supposed to lay the Vita down and use your fingertips, except there's a rear touch mechanic, too.
At least I bought a physical copy - off to the BST thread ....

Not sure I'll ever get any actual stars in the Driveclub events in the Season Pass but hey, new cars and excuses to drive on the new tracks. I like the game but it's a good reminder of why I rarely buy racing games.
Except wipeout. Give wipeout, Sony
BTW I recommend Legend of Mana (it is three whole dollars right now), great amount of depth for an JRPG of it's time. Crazy amount of optional (and occasionally missable) events, dungeons, tons of recruitable monsters, craftable weapons, you make your own world map, action combat system too. Blew my mind at the time, still enjoy it though I have to start over. RIP PS1 memory card
Also, since a lot is missable, if you want a perfect playthrough use a guide. I had 3 playthroughs as a kid that were imperfect so I decided I'd use a guide this time.
Futuridium has pretty sweet music. Gameplay is basically git gud or die, I enjoyed it (got a review copy) but it's not for everyone. A potential morpheus version is on the table but I'm not sure if morpheus versions will be cross buy/patches/whatever.
Just keep your eyes low and consider it part of the difficulty.

Haven't really seen anyone say good things about strike suit zero but everyone seems to be getting it.

I never joke around when it comes to Miku.
Which is why I bought f and F 2nd; I didn't need ZeroAKA busting my kneecaps.

As someone who has played both thoroughly, I'd pick Ys any day.

Man, I am seriously contemplating 3rd Birthday. I have no attachment to the franchise so don't care if they changed things... gameplay looks quite interesting, I hear vita analog fixes some issues... hrm. It's hard to know what those reviews would say if PE wasn't attached to the game.
and... my interest in the game just plummeted. I hate gaming with a guide, and I hate missing stuff. Is the stuff important? Like S tier weapons?

You should most definitely play inFamous 2, a great leap from inFamous 1, in terms of powers, variety and side missions. Best story too.
Ys is suposed to be better

The missing Ac!d games always strikes me as odd. All other PSP Metal Gear titles are available digital, even the Digital Graphic Novel. Maybe it'll happen one day, MGS4 received a trophy patch years later, and was made available digital only recently.
That irritated me a lot, luckily Danganronpa doesn't have that. I would much rather stare at loading screen.

I got Suikoden, Suikoden II, Legend of Mana, Parasite Eve, Xenogears, Grandia, Alundra, Jeanne d'Arc and Brandish: The Dark Revenant for $73.71
I was planning to "complete" (not entirely there yet) my PSOne classic collection at some point anyway and got tired of waiting for sales (Legend of Mana was a welcome coincidence). Played most of them before except for Parasite Eve and Legend of Mana, but I'm planning to replay Grandia and Alundra soonish. Just started Brandish and can recommend it so far if you like slow and methodical dungeon exploration.
Also got both Senran Kagura games from EU because why not. No DLC though.

Forgot to buy Brandish with my discount code :/
Only played 5 hours of Tales so far while I was hooked on Ys so I recommend the latter.

Children of Morta stretch goals are up. PS4 version is 80k, Vita is 90k, and after less than a week they're at 37k so it's definitely possible to get there.
After reading about Toki Tori devs dismissing Vita as it wouldn't be commercially viable for a TT2 port, it's reliving to see another indie dev prioritizing Vita over basically every other system except PS4.

Many Kickstarters have had a Vita stretch goal in the past months.
You'd only be saving two bucks anyway, just get it when you can.

I bought $150 in 20% off PSN cards on eBay on black friday thinking I'd be good for most of the year. I'm at $40 now. Well crap.
Random thought, but I tried Legend of Mana remoteplay from PS3 and man, I want PS4 to have PS1 games just so I can get proper remoteplay of them. Also, cloud saves for PS1 games please.
None of it is necessary to finish the game. I think you actually need to craft to do S Tier weapons, though certain things like a full mana orchard and best weapon/material shops require somewhat careful planning. You can miss out on some side quests by siding with the wrong people, being a dick to sidequest givers etc. It's way worth the $3 even if you manage to lock yourself out of everything possible though, not many locations are missable, most side things aren't super huge.
I think if you just place the locations on the map in the positions the guide I linked showed, everything will be perfect except events (I believe but am not 100% sure that order/choices do matter there). I hate missables as much as you, but the game works perfectly fine without them. I do wish devs would design pretty much all non-roguelike games to not have missables though.
I know tons of people on GAF did, but it won't be in anyone's 10% off cart because the 10% doesn't work on preorders

I just mean, why would you buy it along with your discounted games--I bought it when the preorder went up because we already knew the discount wouldn't apply.

Planning on buying it on Tuesday, but I'm a bit disappointed that it runs in 4:3 still.

I bought Driveclub and OlliOlli
clicked to download Driveclub to my PS4, the page freezed and when I reloaded it I came to PSN main page. When I go to my download list there is a lot of PS3 titles on top with date 19/1 this year even though I bought them much earlier and my PS4 content is nowhere to be seen. I have 1440 objects in the download list and do not want to search through this absolute travesty of user design......
what has happened?

Looks like Sony updated your PS Plus, assuming you have Plus. It bumps all Plus content to the top whenever you resubscribe.

I played some WipEout for the first time in more than 15 years (maybe more) last night after picking it up in the recent sale. I only played a few tracks, but it really holds up! Felt great on the PS3 even though I'm usually pretty sensitive to input lag, especially with racing games.
And best of all - I pulled up the options menu, choose 'upload save data' and there it was: my old file from the 1990s. I imported all of my PS1 saves to my PS3 when I got the console years ago. Didn't have to think about anything. It was just there. I even set a new lap time record last night. It was almost like picking back up right where I left off.
I love having such an accessible legacy on the PS3. Sony really needs to more closely tie the PS4 into the rest of the PlayStation ecosystem.

I'm game for this. Anything to put more games out there right? As somebody that didn't have a PSP; I'd love to have more games on my Vita!
Don't know whether we could influence anything but I would definitely support such an effort. I never played Valkyrie Profile Lenneth for example and would love to play it on my Vita instead of using my old PSP for it.
Yesterday I played some REmaster on remote play using the PSV. Was nigh perfect. Pretty pleased with that purchase!
Correct answer!Delete all of it, Guacamelee is enough.
It's Grim Fandango, for crying out loud. We're lucky to get it at all!

$40 1 year PS+ cards via Buy. Cheapest they usually are until Black Friday...also they were still only $40 on blackfriday this year. Multiplayer paygate may have robbed us of $30 PS+ for a while
Yes, it's annoying. But on PS4 just go to your Library to find games that you own.

I believe you can order from anywhere but they won't ship to anywhere but US. If you need to do that you'll have to get someone else to pick it up and ship it to you

Go to DriveClub in the system's store and click download, or use the webstore to add it to your PS4
The download list isn't the end all to be all, and is pretty useless. If you know what you want, just go to the page and click download instead.

I "forgot" to wait to buy Brandish and RE:make HD (and the digital copy of LBP3 I bought for convenience) with my 10% discount. By forget, I mean I didn't know I'd have it and bought them day 1 like an idiot.
NA sales are pretty good as usual, I wish EU sales were on par
edit: I wanted to get a portable Monkey Ball. I have the iOS game but tilt controls are shit.
I was torn between either the 3DS game or Banana Splitz, and Adventure, which I was excited to play since when I first saw a preview on a PS magazine(I loved the look of the locations), but never got around to play it, mainly because it was trashed by the reviews(back when I still cared about reviews). Does it have classic levels too?
Are there major differences between the 3DS game and Banana Splitz?
Yeah but it's kinda scaring when someone says that the system isn't viable, but luckily it was just an exception.

I wanted to use that 10% code but the sales in EU are so weak that it's not worth using.
I'll wait longer for proper price on SK games.

An ex Sony Bend artist says that Sony wanted a new Uncharted for Vita but Naughty Dog opposed to avoid a "franchise burnout", also they wanted to make an Infamous and 2 new ips(one steampunk) but as we know well none of them were finished.
