US PSN Holiday Sale (Week 2): Spelunky, Dragon's Crown and More

so in spelunky for the princess and idol. do you just hit the left trigger at the exit? I had no idea what the tutorial was trying to tell me to do when i reach the exit with them.


Just hold them with your character ... the damsel/idol will just go through the exit on their own ... then you can either continue more with the level or leave ... you can also sacrifice the damsel/idol at the alter for goodies ... keep in mind, rescue damsel at exit to get an extra heart ...
 
Do I have to purchase Spelunky on PS3 to get it on Vita for the cross buy to work? Or can I purchase it on the Vita first?
Nope, I bought it on Vita and it showed up on my PS3.
 
Sooooooo close to buying NHL 14 at several retail outlets the last few days. Couldn't bring myself to pay $60 for it. Glad I waited.
 
Got NHL 14. I got last year's at a discount too and played it damn near all year. I promised I would wait for the first next gen NHL game, but at 15$, couldn't resist.
 
Pulled the trigger on Marvel Origins and PW2. Was going to get D&D too, but after getting my current fill of side scrolling beat-em-ups with Dragon's Crown, I decided to pass on this for now. I bought Spelunky at full price and don't regret it. At $3.75? Damn highway robbery lol.
 
Why isn't games like D&D: Mystera playable on Vita? I am sure it is not hardware limitations? ;/
It would be wonderful if I can have this and DC on Vita, oh well...
 
Hey guys how is Dynasty Warriors 6 empires? I'm getting 8 later on this month as I know that one is a lot of fun/best one. But 6 for $5 is tempting.

Let me know of some of its problems and stuff.

I played all the way from DW 3 to DW 5 on PS2.
 
Just bought spelunky on my vita and am now downloading it on my PS3, so exciting!

Also when will we learn about week 3 sales? Will it be the day week 2 sales go down or will we have a 1 day notice?

I'm tempted to use whats left of my $20 psn credit (after spelunky) towards Tomb Raider (it comes with Quantum Conundrum doesn't it?) but I want to be on the lookout for any week 3 sales.

When does this week sales end anyways? I'll probably just wait till the last day.

EDIT: Spelunky isn't cross buy?
 
Bought Spelunky, it's a bit janky on PSN, even after the patch. Definitely the worst of the three (/four) versions but still essential if you can't get it on Steam or XBLA.

It certainly is!
 
Bought MvC2 and Spelunky. Haven't tried them out yet though, trying to buy everything from Ducktails first (not that I haven't played MvC2 before).
 
It certainly is!

I think I have the full game now. My PS3 downloaded the vita version and the demo so I thought I didn't get the PS3 version, I think I had to activate the demo and now I have the full game (it's not asking me to unlock full game like a demo would so yeah I believe I do).

Very messy that you had to just play the demo and it would immediately just activate the full game.

MvC2 is OK but the control scheme is design for arcade sticks @_@
My brothers and I play it from time to time along with MvC1, MSH and UMvC3 when we have get togethers.

The week 3 sales will probably be listed a day before the next store update. They've been included in the playstation plus blog posts the last two times and those are almost always posted on mondays
 
Well I got all the 3.75 suff

Dungeons and Dragons
MvC3
MvC Origins
Spelunky (no idea how good it is)

Gotta hook up my PS3 again this weekend and try them out. Gonna play Spelunky on Vita though.
 
care to elaborate on "janky"?

The game itself seems okay, but the menus are very buggy, like when you choose a character, even if you have one controller connected there are still four "press X" prompts on the other three doors. In other versions, those doors are boarded up until you connect a controller. When you complete the Daily Challenge, the option on the menu doesn't turn red as it does on Steam. Not really major things.

The loading is more of an issue though, it takes about twice as long to get to the start menu as it does on 360 and Steam. Every time you complete a run, it takes ages to save it, so whereas on 360 and Steam you can restart instantly, you have to sit around on PS3. It just appears to be very poorly built, is all.

Like I say, it doesn't effect the actual gameplay so you'd definitely be fine with it if it's the only option available to you, but the Steam version is superior, and the 360 version would be too if it weren't for Daily Challenge. (I forgot 360 didn't have DC when I said PSN was the worst version, it is the worst technically.)

Thanks for the run down, my worries are at ease. Will get it for the Cross Buy :D
 
Hey people.

So I bought a Vita like a year ago, when Amazon US had an instant deal or something, and since then I've had a US PSN account which I created to get the 3 free months of PS+ that came with the Vita...

Life was good, and recently I bought the 1-year card that sold for $30 iirc and reactivated my PS+ subscription since I wanted Soul Sacrifice, and I also intended to buy Spelunky while it's cheap - however for some reason now the SEN won't accept any transaction from my credit card...
...well, by 'for some reason' I mean 'there's certainly a reason but it's annoying': I'm in France currently and I used a fake address in New York to create the account initially, so maybe since my account's creation some measures have been added to limit transactions from cards with an invalid address? I can't use my Paypal account either since it's linked to my real French address.

Anyone know a way to go around this?


edit: buying a gift card on Amazon and using the code to add wallet funds worked! :)
 
hey GAF just bought GT6 and it has a 7 day trial psn plus card in it...can i activate the trial...buy some of these games at a discount and then cancel the psn plus membership?

will that work?

I'd like to know this as well. Samurai Warriors 2 Empires is my favorite Empires game of all time. How does it stack up to that?

Anyone? I'd hate to make a thread over one game.
