Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | April 2013 | Sacrifice your Independent Soul

Hey Kassatsu -- question on two Guacamelee trophies:

(1) I Swat You -- what the hell is a "slam" attack? is it just down+[]? I know the chupacabras are the flying dragon monsters... but I don't know how to defeat one using only "slam".
(2) Catch the Rainbow -- location and general strategy to hit all 6 special moves without touching the ground? I'm assuming the wall run and rocket moves count too, so this seems like a pain in the ass.

If I can add one. The trophy that requires you to head butt an enemy, what enemy is it?
 
Apologies if this was answered before but you can set that option in the Playstation store. The way I did this on the Vita was:
1) I got into the Playstation store
2) Open the "..." icon in the bottom right corner
3) Select "Transition Management"
4) Select "Security"
5) Enter password
6) Select option "Require password at checkout".

Thank you. Should stop the boy emptying my bank account.
 
how bout that...giantbomb actually said something good about the vita game, guacamelee.....

you could tell some of them were really fighting it though. haha. so lame.

Uh, what? The only bad thing they said about it is that they hate that the game is filled with memes. Which is completely valid. Who's "really fighting it" just because it's a vita game?

I think your tinfoil hat is on a little too tight on that one bud.
 
Do people turn of their Vita's? I only do it when I there's a system update. Only because I'm forced to do so.

Serious question.



Does anyone if Sony has an E-reader app in the pipeline?
 
So I had to delete Mega Man Maverick X after downloading it yesterday, because of its ATROCIOUS icon..

What? You're just gonna put what looks like a screenshot for the game's icon? Seriously?

Take note developers, this shit MATTERS - Stop making ugly icons

I turn mine off every time, but i'm not really sure why I do it. I guess I just want to guarantee high battery if I don't come back to it for a few days.

I think there's a manga e-reader app in Japan? I doubt that will ever come here, I'm not sure if it's for anything but manga though.

hahahaha I did the exact same thing. But I re-downloaded it the next day because I really like that game and didn't want to be without it.

One thing I've noticed recently with requiring a password at checkout is that it asks for the password even for free items. Before, it would only ask for the password when funds were going to be deducted from your wallet.

I always thought it strange that the require password option didn't ask for a password when putting funds into the wallet. I mean if you have your card linked to your account, there is nothing keeping someone from using your system to add $50 or $100 to your wallet that you'd be charged for. They may have fixed this when they made the change to always require the password as I don't link my credit card to my account any longer. I add to my PSN wallet using prepaid PSN cards.

It was animated on the PSP so it made sense back then. You would see an animated image of various stages, over a MM background with some kickass music playing.
 
That small cart icon on the top is really cool though,the image is the same as the one on the bubble for the game.
 
ITS ALIVE!!!!


ITS ALLLIIIIIIVVVVVVVEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, too bad. I'd love it to be able to read e-books. Don't get why they don't add it. Shouldn't cost too much to develop, while it adds another checkmark to the Vita feature list.

Hopefully a third party jumps in. I would even pay (a small price) for it!

Yea I think it is down and square.

Caverna del pollo, those big guys. Get him close to the wall. Start with wall run, then wall fly... then do the 4 other moves.

the little tiny dudes with the masks.
i swat you is kill a chupacabra (flying enemy dragon thing) with only frog slams (down+circle). I just did it after killing two with only down+square which is apparently called "downcutter".

still not sure on the best method for catch the rainbow, but ready to murder someone at Drinkbox for the bullshit i just went through.

PSA: IF YOU DO THE SUPER ANNOYING PLATFORMING FOUND IN THE SIERRA MOUNTAINS (disappearing platforms) DO NOT GO THROUGH THE SMALL DOOR FIRST.

Thanks Kass -- I'll keep that in mind. :)
 
I need to rant a bit.

Seriously fuck Sony and their required system updates. If they want to pull that bullshit they can upgrade their shitty arsed network first. What the fuck incompetence is it that they'd put a roadblock in front of people actually wanting to spend money on their store. I am now 40 minutes into attempting to update, after my seventh time out (fake edit: make that eigth) and I'm getting further and further away from actually getting to play Guacamelee tonight.

...Not sure I understand what the issue is (and normally, I'd agree that their network management is piss poor). This update takes all of 3 minutes.


Anyway, I just reached Kanji in P4G. Oh my, is this game interesting.
 
If High Voltage could bring The Conduit 1 or 2 to Vita with the multiplayer intact (unlike the Android version I think?), that'd be great.

Uh, no thanks ...

Can't you download the update on your PC and transfer it to Vita?

That sucks. I have never had any problems updating my Vita. In fact, I have almost zero complaints about the system and I was a day one NA adopter. It isn't just Vita blinders either, I have and had plenty of complaints about PSX/2/3 PSP.
 
Kass -- more Guacamelee questions:

Forest area cleanup:
What's the skull switch that you have to be a chicken to get to do?
It's timed so it must open something somewhere, but I don't know what...
 
@Takao

I just saw the Invizimals game/announcement (Kinda disappointed to be honest)

noticed thatyou said the PS3 version is pointless,but I think that it actually made the Vita version and the entire thing pointless,and Sony is doing it completely wrong because this type of games belong to handheld and they made a console adventure game instead of handheld RPG.

what your thoughts on it?
 
Are the Invizimals games any good? My impression, from briefly looking at the PSP games back when they were released, was that the battling/development was too shallow.
 
Man, Virtue's Last Reward is one weird adventure game.
Intriguing though.

I agree with this completely. I would absolutely devour a Sony take on Pokemon, Invizimals is an existing IP and they make the actual Invizimals RPG on the PS3?! Wtf?? It would be PERFECT on a handheld, hence why Pokemon has predominantly been on handhelds. I just scratch my head sometimes with these announcements/development decisions.
