I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Olli Olli 2 has one big downgrade imo, not being able to use the d-pad like the first game(at least in the Vita version). Considering that majority of the moves are just basic motions I do in every fighting game, it kinda sucks being forced to use the analog.
Still a fun game though, alternating between 1 and 2. Going back to the first 1 is weird after playing 2 because 2 feels alot more fluid.

Okay so you're just supposed to do tricks between grinds. Clearer.
Not quite. Ollie is one of many tricks you can do. It's done by pressing Down and releasing. You can do different tricks with inputs other than Down, like Quarter Circle Back, release. You can do this while grinding, even. You set up the trick before jumping, and when you release, it executes both the jump and the trick.
Yup. Then the one thing the tutorial does't explain is that the shoulder buttons rotate you in mid-air.
Between grinds I do manuals to keep the combo going. Only do tricks before and after grinds

I got those yesterday as well since my (previously fine) DS4 started to show the same issue as others after a few Olli Olli 2 sessions.Get these things, they work great.
Looks like Olli Olli 2 is a definite "killer app", for DS4 lifespan that is...
Valiant Hearts is fantastic. Halfway through chapter 3 but I''m loving it so far, feels like a 90s point 'n' click given a 21st century makeover (which includes less obtuse and far easier puzzles).
If I'd known it was this type of game I'd have bought it myself at launch. Normally in this situation I'd feel bad for robbing a dev of a purchase, but since it's Ubisoft, I think I can live with it
They've pumped out so much generic mediocrity in recent years (sans Rayman) I was surprised just how good this is. Probably my favourite title of theirs since PoP: Sands of Time.

It's crazy how much Ubisoft France > Ubisoft Montreal... and I hate to say it because I'm a Montreal residentValiant Hearts is fantastic.

but Rayman, Valiant Hearts, Beyond Good and Evil shits over everything else (probably thanks to Michel Ancel)... well, Ubi Montreal was had PoP Sands of Time and the early Splinter Cell games in the PS2 era, but they turned into an embarrassment real fast.MegaSackman

Nope, France.

Wikipedia says otherwise. Child of Light is Montreal-developed, but I didn't care for it when I tried the demo, to be honest. The art is glorious though. I wish Ubisoft would make their Ubi-art framework public...

Really liking CounterSpy. Great art style and I like the change in viewpoint when behind cover. Seems a pretty cool game I'd never have bought or played otherwise.
OllieOllie isn't a game I enjoy. Just like all other skating/trick based games. I'm just not good at them.
Will check out Iddworld and Valient Hearts soon but CounterSpy is a surprise, I thought it would be getting deleted after a brief play.

My own personal Vietnam. I could NEVER pull that move off.
This warms my heart.
Glad it's not just me. I can see a great game in there but the controls will take some getting used to. X to jump and X before you land would have been a good mechanic.

Managed to play through CounterSpy. It's a pretty awesome game. It did get repetitive in the ending levels because I started going back into places I've already seen before. If it lasted a tad longer, I don't think I could have taken it to be honest. However, the game is short so that helps a lot.
I only played Oddworld for a bit and liked what I saw.
But Olli Olli...I don't think I can get into it. Music is great, but man. Something about it.
Haven't tried any of the other games.

Get these things, they work great.
Yep. I just got those. I didn't have any problems with rubber tearing but the material can turn smooth after awhile. The only thing I don't like about them is that they make the sticks feel loose. I don't understand why. Taken them off it get back the tight feeling.
For good joystick protectors or pads or whatever, I posted this in the OlliOlli2 OT:
Easily the most solid pair of protectors I've used, and I've gone through a few (including some that, like you said, felt loose and inaccurate).Yeah, I'm about the same on both counts. Completed most of what I've done so far on Vita, but the really tough ones I did in a snap on PS4. FWIW I was also using these grips on my controller:
Fit snugly on the sticks, offer great grip. Ebay cheapos, I think I got mine for around $3AU for a pair.
Really cool system they've created, a nice evolution of point and click. I wish we got more games from Ukraine.
Finished Valiant Hearts this morning, really great experience. I'm a huge 'fan' of WWI and II and this game really struck all the right notes about the war...
+ Art style - This one is obvious but the locations, environments and characters are all rendered so brilliantly. Europe at War becomes so immersive for a 2D game.
+ Historical accuracy/Education - The game backs up all its events with real facts supplied by historian networks and informs the player about the events surrounding the gameplay, brilliant.
+ Music - The main theme is sombre and emotive, the only problem it has is it starts on the same bar every time you open the menu. The music in the music themed levels is fun and the music in the puzzles is enjoyable and not too interesting to distract you. Great work.
+ Voice Acting - Though rare, the VA in the game is strong. Especially the last monologue from Emile, you can really hear the emotion.
- Padding - There's some very slight padding at moments but not much. Repeated puzzles etc. Needless running about when a puzzle could've been more streamline.
- Some awkward checkpoints - Somehow a few of the checkpoints manage to place you right before a rare tedious section of gameplay; mortar dodging etc.
Overall, loved it. Still finishing OlliOlli 2 then I'll be moving on to Counter-Spy. This is starting to become on of PS+ strongest months.

I downloaded from the PS4 and it was in the free psn games list.

What's with 'Mandrake Air Command' in Counter Spy, was this a GAF reference or unintentional?

I've already got Oddworld and Valiant hearts (but this one on PS3) and i was looking forward especially for Counterspy (which is great)...and then i downloaded Papo&Yo...Jesus, what an extraordinary game...Not only in its fun and clever gameplay but the story. Damn. This is where real magic lies. This game totally flew under my radar and i'm so happy and grateful that thanks to ps+ i was able to expirenced its greatness...Give it a try if you didn't already...Great month, btw.

The increased height gives you more leverage on the sticks, making them easier to move, which results in a more loose feeling.

Same here. Tried for an hour and couldn't get my brain to stop flipping the controls.

Valiant Hearts is absolutely wonderful. I almost pulled the trigger on this a few times but I didn't think I'd like it but it's such a great game. Beautiful art style, decent puzzles that aren't too tricky to fathom out, good character/s and does a great job of conveying a war theme, plus it's a joy to play.
In fact with this and CountySpy, it's been the best PS+ month for as long as I can remember.

So I saw some random speculation floating around about changes coming to PS+ and IGC. I don't think there's anything credible about potential changes but it did get me thinking...
How much longer would you expect Sony to support the Playstation Vita with the IGC? I love my Vita and lot of the value that I get from IGC is from the Vita games, but Sony is sending some pretty clear signals that they are not interested in supporting the platform any further (at least in the West). So if Sony is looking to Sunset the Vita part of the ecosystem, how much longer would you expect it to be included with the IGC?
I still have a PS3 and PS4 so when it does happen PS+ will still be a decent value for me, I was just wondering what people thought the time frame for ending support might end up being.

5 year life span as a minimum, so late 2015/early16, but I think they'll keep it around till PS5 is released.
I think you're quite mistaken. Sony are still actively signing deals for Vita, in fact their pub funded games are now moving towards PS4/Vita with the PS3 being dropped for the most part. This month's OlliOlli 2 is just one of the many examples of this.
I think 1-2 years after it stops officially selling at retail is reasonable. Mainly because they probably have a backlog of games they could release, and once its no longer on sale, throwing up an old game or two is not a whole lot of effort or cost.
That said, it's not going to stop being for sale for a while unless we see a new Vita. It's a really good companion for PS4, its marketed as such, especially with remote play.

The very worst case scenario would be the PS3 and PSV getting sunsetted together. I'd expect the IGC to reduce to one PS3 game per month late 2015/early 2016 and for the PS3 games to be removed wholesale late 2016/early 2017, and I doubt the PSV would be sunsetted any earlier than that.
Yeah, Papo & Yo is a stunner that doesn't get much love around these parts. The final sequence and ending left my jaw on the floor.
