Anyone else have games show up in their Trophy List without actually playing the games? This is going to bother me forever.

Knack (which I have and is backlogged so not too worried) and Call of Duty: Ghosts both showed up in my trophy list despite never have loaded the games up.

Did you SharePlay either of these games? Or did you log onto your account on a friends' PS4 and play either game? That's the only reason I could see for them showing up.

Nope. Wonder if it is a bug with the Playstation app - they first appeared there and then I checked my PS4 to confirm.

Maybe I stumbled across the secret December PS+ offerings.
 
Just noticed that my vita has a small but prominent rainbow scartch. Oh wait there are two.

Damn it

Mine has a single (ONE!) tiny cat hair under the screen protector. I have gone through 9 screen protectors trying to get it perfect and this is my last one. Drives me fucking mental.

It looks horrible in Freedom Wars since I'm in the higher ranked cell and the interior is bright white blue, they are also driving me mental.

I seriously don't recall seeing it until today, I would have noticed these scratches long ago if they were there

My Vita also has a very prominent mura spot that would even show up in a well lit condition. :/ took me a long while to get use to that and now this.
 
I am so happy this is supposed to be good. I want it now. I wonder if there's any chance of a BF sale on it. Doubtful, I guess.

The game is quite excellent, I put quite some time into it today, since this was my last day before I go into full on study mode for the next 3 weeks. I liked what I played, game is pretty as hell and the story so far is pretty interesting. Can't wait to be done my exams to delve in fully.

My perfectly placed screen protector came off by accident two weeks ago.

I grabbed a spare and almost got it perfect, but there was one speck under the film... trying to get that out got a cat hair under it, trying to get that out got 5 specks, etc.

3 more spares later, i gave up. My wife is going to do it for me when she gets around to it.

Try to do it in your bathroom, the humidity is higher so it's less likely for dust to fall onto the screen during the application.

KZ Mercs is a pretty, first person evolution of Unit 13.

Unit 13 is a speed/score run TPS along the lines of John Woo's Stranglehold or The Club. It plays like a standard action TPS with tunnels/corridors and headshotting/backstabbing thugs and avoiding security cameras.

Freedom Wars is a hunting game where you have big open arenas like and you mount robots and cut their limbs off.

I'd recommend Unit 13 to people who loved KZ Mercs, The Club, Stranglehold, or any modern TPS shooter.

I'd recommend FW to people who want a new take on hunting games.

They're wildly different to me -- not even remotely the same genre. I mean, sure, both are tps and have guns but that's where the similarities start and end.

I was not comparing the gameplay, as you say they are different genres, but their structure, as i have already said typical fps/tps/action structure is a not so big sequence of unique big levels that the player crosses from a start to an end while both FW and Unit 13 have lots of missions made of a combination of an arena + enemies + objective.

Unit 13 is a good game, but it feels(is?) barebones, if it had more features like FW(especially a story, even a dumb one) it would have been received really differently and its developers would have had a different destiny.

Not the best deal but GS is having a discount on the 16gb card for the Vita at $20 if anybody is interested in maybe a cheap secondary? Black Friday deal btw.

http://www.ign.com/wikis/black-friday-cyber-monday/Gamestop_2014 probably a better link out there but it also has a decent price on Tales of Xillia 2 :D

Buy it. Tales of Xillia 2, I mean. It's an awesome game if you haven't finished the original like 3 weeks ago lol.

Yep. The game is not bad per se, but it definitely feels barebones. Some kind of story would have been nice, some gyro aiming (playing it after U:GA which has an awesome aiming didn't help) and other features would have been needed.

In the end it felt like the game was put together in like 4-6 months or something.
 
I have decided to join the Vita side and will be getting my Vita with 16 GB memory card in the mail tomorrow.

Funny how my first order of business will be to get caught up on old PSP RPG games I missed. Also picking up Senran Kagura and P4G to start.
 
Been wanting to save the money I have on my PSN account towards something that I could maybe play on my Playstation TV, or something newer in general, but man...some of these deals on EA games for $2.99 are too tempting to pass up.

How were SSX and Kingdoms of Amalur after all?

I don't remember seeing that message when I started up the game. Besides, the one person who was playing it last night was on the Vita version.
Glad that they apparently made it work with F 2nd. I'm not that happy when games do that, but I understand it's a necessary evil to get better performance.

The website for PSN kinda sucks.

I have been playing binding of isaac on my vita and it seems to only show my PS3 which I played liek two weeks ago....
 
Wish Fate/Extra had Fate/Zero characters instead of Fate/Stay Night characters, would've bought it in a heartbeat then.

Planning on getting:
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy IX
Vagrant Story
Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Impact

Unsure:
Dissidia Final Fantasy (Don't really know if the dissidia games are good, I haven't played many FF games though)
SMT: Digital Devil Saga & SMT: Digital Devil Saga 2 (Don't have a ps3, but I'm assuming they'll be playable on PS4 at some point)
 
Does it play well on RP?

I'm planning to do this, but I have Origins and 2 to play through first.

And the game to release in EU.

And then to get paid, so I can buy it.

It works amazingly well. My only gripe would maybe be the lack of L2/R2 buttons. You see to attack you hold the R2. It isn't so bad, I mean all you do is hold your finger on the right corner of the touchscreen, it's not like you need to keep on tapping it. Visuals are amazing (aside from the beards LOL) and the game is massive.

There's something like 10 open world areas, I put 8 hours into the first one and only discovered around 30% of that area's map. Also did not advance in the story at all. This one is definitely a time sinker.
