You do the weekly roundup a on reddit don't you?
Top of page: buy all futurlab games and also dungeon hunter!
D:
Add my video to top of page!
Also yes, it started for Reddit but a lot of my viewerbase is here
Dunno. Maybe?
By your logic all PC games should be $60 to make all pricing equal.
iOS and smartphone app stores have ruined people. I really don't want to see the PSM store turn into the clusterf*ck that iOS is, so hopefully the more controlled pricing structure will help stave that off.
If it wasn't released elsewhere for less/free on PC I would be fine paying 3-5 for it.
There are already way too many great games out today to support price increases on an old game just because it's a new platform. It's not about the money, I'd rather lose 5$ that falls out of my pocket and also buy SBC for the ios price than pay the vita price and not lose the other 5 bucks.
Also even though I'm not broke, there are plenty of people who are and what may be literal pocket change for us may be a hard decision for them so unless you want to cut those people a check, chuck the attitude.
Don't buy SCB then? Buy one of the $.50 ones.
I would buy one of the 50 cent or 10 dollar ones if I actually found them interesting but that has completely zero to do with what I was talking about.
Go make a turkey sandwich?
Man, update already! I want some Tomba!! Great that it's only 4 bucks too!
Thanks, that would be nice
Persona is still coming and since you're including next year stuff too Most Wanted is still coming too. But it does look like a pretty solid fall for Vita. Hopefully Sony can keep the momentum going instead of relying on these garbage ios ports.
Playing SCB on the touch-only iOS sounds dreadful, I don't think I'd use it in your price-per-value argument.
I'd gladly take the $5 you're "willing" to lose and spend it on some PSM games b/c, at the end of the day, I'm having lots of fun instead of making concessions due to Applie's stubbornness to release a device with actual sticks and buttons.
EDIT: anyone else freaking loving "Rebel'? I'm totally addicted to it!

Wait a darn minute... the only way to get Ragnarok on the 16th is to pay for the Mercenary edition? Amazon says the standard one isn't hitting until the 30th...

Nope.
There's not even a date set in stone yet, as most retailers have a different date. It's a clusterfuck.

I'm glad I have SO many other games to play and it paid off at Newegg. I'll just wait until it magically pops up at my door.
screenshots dont look that bad but I really hope they up it a little bit. Im not familiar with the lingo but AA, lighting etc. I want GA graphics, that would be awesome. Keeping my fingers crossed on this one.

Sounds terrible.
I also heard on a recent Rebel FM (I think) that the game looks and plays like a reskinned Resistance Burning Skies; the enemies even animate the same as the chimera, down to their stance.

He sounded fairly positive, about the MP at least

Yeah, the pricing is a bit of a turn off. If SCB or AK were 1.99 or less, I'd buy them just because... at $3.50 a piece? I'll buy DLC for games I own first, like Gwabbity Squeeze. :lol
Thanks for posting this.
The impressions don't seem too unfavorable, just kinda "meh". Wouldn't expect anything different from a Nihilistic game.

I don't mind if it's a little bit meh. Just fix that bug where I don't move on the host's game and get meeled in the back repetitively and I'll happily have a good online go of your shooter as long as it's playable.
And the controls sounded good too. Nihilistic is good at getting control sets down. The rest, not so much.
Better than expected. Keeping my preorder.

LBP is really a fantastic game. You should definitely buy that. You could do that and some PS1 RPGs and decide if you want PS+ later?
Or wait for Black Friday deals and get one of those PS+ codes on the cheap like last year. I still have one sitting around waiting to be used when my first one from last year expires.
I'm definitely resubbing. Its what to do with the left over that has me in this great dilemma. I have both LBP 1&2 on PS3 so I'm not too sure if I should triple dip. Is it worth it if I played the previous two on PS3?
Just an FYI: the PlayStation Blog recently posted a new deal for a PlayStation Credit Card through Capital One. Approved cards come with a free year of PSN Plus and a $50 PSN card after you make any one purchase using the card. I can't link to it at work, so Google it. The promo was limited time only, so don't screw around too long.
Didn't Burning Skies' MP also have broken MP out of the gate? I remember not being able to connect to other players on day one, and the dev. had to drop a patch to fix the issue shortly after launch. Nihilistic better have all the connection kinks worked out before this game hits retail...
Its a shame that a COD game bears so much resembelance to Resistance Burning Skies, they are two totally different games with different feels. I hope this game does not feel and play like a reskinned Resistance cuz if so im gonna be pissed. Nihilistic how do you fuck that up? I got my pitchfork and torch ready to set Nihilistics asses ablaze. Damn Zipper should have been on this one right after unit 13 was finished.

I've been trying to figure out what to spend on too. Apparently my Tokyo Jungle purchase didn't count, so I'm left with $88 to spend after picking up the Gwabbity Squeeze DLC last night.
For you, I'd say sub to plus, especially if you'll lapse before you manage to find a deal on a resub card or whatever. As much as I bitch about the quality of the freebies lately, the cloud storage, automatic updates, and access to the existing 'rentals' is still worth the money (although it's more like being held hostage than wanting to pay for the service these days). The fact that Vita is getting it in a month too... you don't want to lapse.
After that, buy what you feel like playing dude.
I wish I hadn't bought all those PSOne games a month ago and had waited til now, as I'd have that much more already spent towards the total.
Currently, I'm looking at the following as possibilities for myself as ways to spend the $88 before 11/1:
SunFlowers
UMvC3 (digital) [then sell my physical card]
UMvC3 complete costume pack
Lumines (digital)
MvC:Origins
I'd buy Sine Mora instantly if it came out this month; but I don't think we have a release date on that...

Anyone see that ps3 footage of most wanted?
Judging by what we've heard the vita version is a slightly worse looking version of that, if so then GOD DAMN. I am so fucking hyped.

While HSG is cuter and more punishing, IMHO, VT has more and more varied content. Lot's of minigames, a replayable world tour and tons of customizations parts. Great game. The online implementation is not async though (because it's a tennis match!), so a good connection is required. Also, it's native res so it looks great on dat oled.

Just saw Duckroll's thread about the ZHP successor and it made me realize I don't have ZHP. I can't remember if ZHP is on the vita store or has to be transferred from the PS3 and I am at work so I can't check. I need to fix this not owning ZHP situation I think.

Ah forgot to mention NA here. I thought it was on there.
I'm using a US account, so I checked the store from mine. It is listed, and is $29.99.

OK I'm starting to panic: Amazon, Best Buy, PC Game Supply, etc. are out of US PSN codes. Gamestop doesn't let me buy without a valid US address. What's happening? Did the stores stop selling them? I was going to buy a bunch of PSN/Vita stuff for the $100 promotion.
you aren't alone. except i can go to actual store ;P

Thank you so much.
It's $29.99 on the North American Vita store.

The main complaint is that Super Crate Box is $1.99 on iOS. If the price on iOS was $3.49 those complaints wouldn't be valid, as is though I have to agree with LucasShaq, prices are a bit on the high side.
PSM is supposed to appeal to smartphone users, so cheaper price would be necessary there as well.
I can't help but feel that the higher prices on psm is because of the devs putting it higher on there due to a much, much smaller userbase. The certification process seems to be on par, apple takes 30%, sony takes 30%, dev kit price is similar. The only thing is I think psm games get rated by the esrb but iOS games get rated by apple and maybe apple has a lower fee on that? Not sure. Playing with buttons do not command a 50+% premium on the price, especially since the games must also be designed to work with touchscreen only devices and I might be buying it to play exclusively on my tablet or phone, for example.
It's not about the money, it's about the point. I get that.
Yup. This just went from "wait and see" to "lol nope" for me.

Quoting for new page
Congrats, getting all the crowns in HSG is a huge accomplishment
VT4 has tons of content. I've played through world tour mode three times and I still have lots of clothing to unlock. As for challenges, there's two secret characters that are tough to beat, and there's mini-games where you can set high scores. The game mainly encourages you to keep playing and improve your skills through the steady stream of awards and unlockables. So there aren't specific challenges, you just keep grinding towards those unlockables. Online is a bit flakey in my experience, but it's amazing when it's running lag-free.
I enjoyed HSG a lot, and I enjoyed VT4 almost as much, so I'd definitely recommend it. Amazing gameplay and lots of stuff to do.
