PlayStation Network Thread (Vita/PS4/PS3) | November 2014

Amazon.co.uk shows Teslagard releasing as early as Jan 2015 (prob. placeholders) and it would have a retail ver. going for 35 pounds @_@
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OZAR1FI/

It was just slated for Early 2015, so that's likely a placeholder.

I SOLD MY FIRST VITA TODAY! I'M SO HAPPY!

Nice! Keep spreading the Vita love!

I don't know how people are still able to complain about PS+ games...It's like whatever Sony does, they'll never be happy.

I never complain about PS+, but are you seriously trying to tell me we get great PS+ titles? Speaking only about Vita, I haven't actually cared to download a plus title since September, and that was a game that sits near the end of my backlog and unplayed - just like the game I got the month before.

Speaking in regards to titles across all systems, it gets even worse - the last PS+ title I downloaded and played for PS4 was Contrast (was on PS+ Nov 15 2013, to Jan 7th 2014) and the last one for PS3 was Dead Space 3 (July 2014's offering).

I've certainly got my money's worth out of plus - but it's been via deals, not games. The games for the most part are "meh" or I already bought it, 'cause why would I have waited? Life's short, I play shit when I get the chance - I don't wait for it unless I have to.

TOTP; Buy everything Senran Kagura.

Pretty sure that Ubisoft is 100% finished with the Vita, or else they would have ported Valiant Hearts, which was kind of expected after Child of Light, but never happened.

Ubisoft needs to focus on Xbox One and PS4 so they can deliver highly polished technically sound titles such as Assassin's Creed Unity

Hrm, I've played games with this sort of system (Magus Sisters immediately comes to mind) not the biggest fan of it. Feels too indirect/RNG based. I'm fine with RNG for almost anything but what actions I can take, then it feels like I'm losing control.

It's not RNG based. I never said anything about RNG.

Streetpassed someone a little bit ago on a relay. They were from Sweden and their message was to buy a Vita.

Instantly thought of this thread and people doing that before
 
I was getting ready to buy a Vita today, coz Phantasy Star Nova.

But then, I remembered I ordered a physical copy and my friend won't be here until the end of December.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD8

Been awhile but I think the game will show you what you need to know.

One thing to keep in mind: You play as two characters, Ellen and Keats. You will want to alternate between them each chapter instead of playing as far as you can with one before having to switch to the other; eg Ellen ch 1, Keats ch 1, Ellen ch 2, Keats ch 2,...

Hope you enjoy it.

bad gameplay lol
Hope we get a leak of what to expect from the practically-guaranteed-at-this-point US Black Friday flash sale from South America's PS Blog tomorrow like we have the last couple of flash sales.

Well I guess that's a net positive for me. I'm kind of in limbo with games at this point. Every time there's a big deficit in game releases that I'm interested in I end up investing into retro games and expanding my library. Mixed feelings when I realized that there are only like 3 vita games currently announced that I have any intention of getting atm.

**Btw did you get my response to your PM a while back?

Yes I did, but I forgot to reply to it lol. I wanted to say thanks for the tip, but figured it'd be weird to say after I forgot to reply lol.


Ehhhhhhhh. No games I'm interested in off that list.

RE: vita touch screen...things. I wouldn't mind it if it were fun in any way at all. It's just a super boring super repetitive minigame in Monster Monpiece though, I've no idea why it continues to be used. I'm not offended by it, it's just boring and tiresome and I fail to see why it would be interesting regardless.

That's king of my feeling at this point (well, Criminal Girls aside - which I don't find offensive I just find gratuitous). I like fanservice when it's funny or clever (Neptunia, Senran Kagura), but sometimes it feels like developers throw it in there just to check off some box. It's basically the equivalent of online multiplayer for Western devs.

Trust me, you DO want the touch stuff in Criminal Girls.

The PSP ver. punishments is on 無理ゲー levels. Not to mention you have to do it for each girl AND (real spoilers)
once more when you gain their power up.

I did a lot of touching with Monster Monpiece and I'm gay. Just take it as a gameplay feature, if it doesn't strike your fancy.

What's funny is when no PS4 game goes on sale, people complain.
Now when no Vita games go on sale, people complain :V

Lol, you might need to explain that to me. (Or not, if it's one those things you can get in trouble for in this thread.)

Diablo 3 is great. It's easily my most played PS4 game so far.

Yeah, D3 is probably the only one I'd pick up (already have TEW and Destiny, not interested in Mordor or the sports games). But I feel like it's one of those games I'll be able to pick up really cheap within a couple of months - or at least by Boxing Day.

But as Shizuka said, there are probably more games on sale than just those six.

As in it is actually useful or it is actually FUN, because it is useful (but not universally good/improving) in Monpiece but good lord is it boring

I think the one Vita game that could benefit the most being part of this flash sale would be Sword Art Online. Only noteworthy DD-only game that haven't gone on sale yet.
 
Lol, you might need to explain that to me. (Or not, if it's one those things you can get in trouble for in this thread.)

It's right there. The original, non-touch version of the punishment (or at least a few of them) can get really really hard and frustrating at high levels.

These punishments aren't mini-games, as they are pretty much essential to unlock skills, stat enhancements, field skills.

Edit: IIRC, leveling doesn't get you anything aside from stats, LOL.

That is very true actually. I can't think of any other games for them to put on there (other than indie stuff).

Relax, no one said this was the complete list.


..and I just realized this thread is in Gaming Community. So that's where you've all been hiding now.

Finally killed one of the bosses in Rogue Legacy and you can't loot the money after opening the chest? BULLSHIT :/
I see the door has the symbol activated now so that means every boss only needs to be (and can be) killed once?
