I did the boost for AC:B and even I don't know if I'll do this.....:/
What was your time for the challenge you sent me for 'On The Edge' It's not on the list...
OMG, time to cfw for my psp!
Sounds like a good use of a day.
13.406 I believe it was.
I'd have gone insane if not for playing Football Manager next to doing it. On the plus side, I finally promoted to the 3rd english league.

Economics, friend.
Supply. Demand.
You can blame PS+, since it increased the demand, allowing the price to creep back up.
Yeah, they really should've given me 4vs4 Manhunt on the go, but alas...
I'll still do it since it's an easy thing just a timesink. You don't need to win so it's simply grind the levels out which isn't too bad.
Who are CreatStudios?
No problem.
They've made some quality PSN games. Most are polished clones of other games.
I welcome any news from them.
Welcome back.
So not only the art style and character design, but they are also using a similar idea to Demon's Souls Phantoms for the co-op.
Very nice.
I'd still say the art style/character design reminds me more of Berserk than anything else.
Coded arms 2.
That's really stretching it. Careful, might snap.

They had a good amount of attention from their Labrinth Legends thing last week. Probably announcing it for Vita.
Oooooooooooooh, THOSE guys. YES please.
Would be great to see.
They had lots of people asking for it on EU/US blogs, and their tweet about it had 82 retweets which is pretty good. I'd put money on it being that
New Youtube looks/sounds awesome. When is it coming to US? I don't see a patch ready for it. Also, the Creat Studios announcement could be Labryinth Legends since so many people asked them about it on the Blog. Which would be cool. It looks like a fun game.
Edit: beaten by Carl. Don't care.
Also I'm mad that the Fry's sale on Rayman Origins is in store only. THAT's the one I wanted!

I was able to get a good deal on BLOPS: Declassified a few days ago -- $2, thanks to a $10 off coupon and some shockingly high trade values -- so I decided to take the plunge, figuring no game could be quite as horrible as it's been made out to be. And you know what? It's not awful. I've only played the first few missions, and it seems extremely light on content -- no way it's worth $50 -- but it's far from being the worst game ever made.
All that said, it mainly left me wishing Gameloft was a little more active in developing for the Vita. I'm sure they have their reasons for staying away, but I can't help but feel that something like the Modern Combat series would do fairly well on the platform. It's about as derivative as you'd expect from a Gameloft game, but I played MC3 on my Xperia Play, and it turned out pretty well...I can't imagine it would be that hard to port it over to the Vita and add in some trophy support. They could even get away with charging a slightly higher price point than they can on smartphones.

Yeah, you should check out the OT for it. Everyone had pretty much the same opinion as you. It's the best terrible game you'll ever play! Should have been a download only title at half the price, or a free pack in with the PS3 version, or pretty much sold in any way except the way it was.
Repost: Anyone know whether its possible to get rid of the "Friend is online" messages? You can only deactivate the button light, on screen prompt etc but I dont want them to turn up in the upper right corner notification bar, or at least not have them an "active" notification where it gives me a number on that notification bar if a friend comes online.
Also: Is it just me or does the Vita battery run out faster if more apps are open in the background? It might be just me, but I had my browser open all the time during the past week and it seemed like the battery would run low a bit faster.

Cuboid was my fave.
The tweet seemed to reference 2 announcements. I assumed that was 1 of them. Curious what the other is going to be.
Edit: Cuboid, Mushroom Wars & Magic Ball were all good games.
Yup. Creat make some good games.

I fucking hate SCEA.
Tomorrow's PS+ update:
BioShock 2 (free)
Rockstar Games Collection Vol. 1 10% off (53.99)
Puddle 50% off for PlayStation Plus members (PS3 Plus Price: $3.50; PS Vita Plus Price: $2.80)

Except it looks nothing like Demon/Dark Souls so... :/
also people in Wipeout should stop picking Race. I'm trying to Elite pass these events and the objectives are more toward Eliminator/Combat mode than Race. SMH.

there are still 3 more updates in dec one meh week doesn't mean it will be a bad month, and it's not like bioshock 2 is a horrible game

Assassin's Creed Liberation...
Just got to say, I have gotten the save glitch twice and really hope Ubi releases this patch soon. Want to platinum this baby. Great game, but this bug is killing me.

No, but I already own it and have no desire to have it take up my HDD space -- it's no Vanquish or Arkham City.
And I shouldn't even have to mention EU is getting 2 full retail games and a full PSN game this week while NA is getting 1 full retail game and some discounts.
I wouldn't get my hopes up that SCEA will do anything remotely worthwhile this month. It was a miracle that they did something right with the instant game collection for Vita; expecting anything more was stupid on our part.
We've also not seen anything regarding anything comprable to the 12 days of Christmas sale either. Ugh. This is the stuff that makes me hate SCEA.
Surprised you have the patience to start a 3rd time after having that bug twice. But yeah, quite a few people wait for that patch atm before continuing to play.
I bet that we receive either Knytt or Big Sky for free as well.
I thought the patch was already out, or is that for something else?
My AC hasnt updated in the last 7-10 days. Yours did?
We will likely just get a christmas update in one go instead of them trying to stretch it out over 12 days. hopefully some PS1 games go on sale for cheap.

I wish I shared your optimism.
I'd love for them to give us Vanquish and Arkham City though... I could probably sell those for a decent amount and I'm dying to have all my fighters on Vita as digital, so if MK is given to us for free, that's a bit of salvation in an otherwise once again dreadful month. :lol
as I said earlier vanquish and AC do nothing for me, they are just as exciting as reading bioshock 2 for me.
And while it is a bit of optimism it's also the fact that it's just one of four weeks of updates we are looking at for NA. I mean if they had announced AC for NA this week people would likely be complaining that we didn't get vanquish as well and vice versa... Heck I wouldn't be surprised if the released games like LBP karting or playstation all stars people would be complaining they weren't getting the year old batman AC instead. I much prefer to just sit back and see what the full picture is before I get upset over the offerings. It just seems far more logical of a way to do instead of trying to compare one week to a month.
Of course I have also gone on the record in the past saying I prefer NA's offerings over EU's (based on my personal tastes, wants, and what I already own) thus a more positive outlook on things is only natural then someone who has been repeatedly disappointed by them.
Either way I hope that the vita offerings on plus this month are solid. I wouldn't mind getting MK but at the same time it's one of the cheapest vita games to buy at retail and I have heard it's one of the larger games, thus given the price of memory cards I would rather be getting games that are small but fun, or more expensive at retail. Despite my love of plus I still hands down prefer physical copies to my games, thus in general I prefer PSN games from plus instead of games that have physical releases. Don't get me wrong I am happy we got uncharted and gravity rush on plus, but I will still be buying gravity rush physically sometime next year lol.
anyways more on topic for this thread I assume we will get something like the holiday collection again this year
which took place during the second week of dec last year so I would expect to hear about it soon this year and take place around then again. If I recall right last year it wasn't anything all that special but there is at least hope that vita stuff will be included this year.

See, I'm the opposite. I prefer digital if it's something I planned on keeping forever. Like MK for Vita. And then I get the satisfaction of (1) selling my physical copy and streamlining my media collection and (2) being able to play any game at any time. My Steam collection is absolutely fucking ridiculous and I can't play half the games because I don't even have a competent gaming PC.
Using your examples from the Vita IGC, I had already bought and sold Uncharted GA and was in the middle of playing GR. When GR came to the instant game collection, I sold my copy of GR for $15 and happily downloaded it to my 32gb card.
Hell, if they gave me enough games for free that I own and cared about replacing physical with digital, I'm sure I'd make enough off the sales/trades to buy another 32gb card if I wanted one.
IMO, EU PS+ has almost always made the NA version look like garbage. The only real games I can think of that were "wins" for NA was getting WipEout 2048 and JSR for free (and I don't even like JSR, I find the controls to be infuriating).
Otherwise, EU has pretty much gotten all the good content from NA plus previously and then topped it with other games that are excellent. If I didn't have like 2+ years on my PS+ subscription and all this content (and 60+ platinums) tied to my NA account, I'd have switched in a heartbeat. Knowing what I do now, I'd have made an EU account as my main PSN if I knew what PS+ and the Vita held in store.
far more on topic... is there any way to alter the screen shot stuff. Like change the buttons your press to activate it, or keep it from playing sounds?
I find myself wanting to take screenshots of the persona 4 cutscenes for wallpapers but it's annoying how it cuts the sound for a second or two

I do not think so, unfortunately.
