I haven't played the Hustle Kings demo so I'm not sure. Sorry :/ I'm sure the gameplay is representative though.
FFVII & VIII have both aged a lot better than IX. IX is SOOOOOOOO SSSSSSLLLLLLOOOOOOOOWWWWWW it's almost unplayable. And the story is a copy of FFVII, but VII does most of it better, so not sure where you get the "FFVII story is dated" either. IX looks better, of course, but VIII has the best OST of the three while IX's is the worst.
in short, that not how pool work,rubbish phsyics.
Yes.
Also Shadow do you know the best setting for Duodecim on Vita?
I'm not used this tbh used to play everything on PSP
Like Bi linear filter on? Etc idek WTF that even is SMH. Don't want it to look so damn GRAINY.
To each of their own but I'd go with default no filtering. No more clawing the camera!

When does your PS+ subscription end?
From you, it makes me feel better knowing that they're probably perfectly accurate.

They are pretty accurate, actually. A damn fine billiards game.
Okay Vita GAF, pick what I play next.
Just finished Valkyria Chronicles 2 and wondering what to move onto next. While I've got loads of other games also, I've narrowed it down to 3. Parasite Eve 1, Legend of Mana or Breath of Fire IV? I've also got Parasite Eve 2 and the 3rd Birthday, so if I play the first game, should I play all three back to back or mix it up with the other two mentioned games?

FF8 is a great game. I liked it when I originally played it as I did FF7 and FF9.
You're right, FF4: Complete should also be amazing as FF4 is the best 16-bit FF ever made.
FF6 was great when I was 13 or so. But there's just something off about it. It's a good game, but I don't feel it deserves anywhere near the level of praise people heap upon it. And the load times for the random battles in the PSX port? No thank you.
BREATH OF FIRE 4!!!
How big is the full game? im thinking of getting it after p4g
Around 1.4-1.6 GB for the NA version. If a decent number of you EU Vitabros are getting it, I'll try to get into the game again.

RO was fun but I don't think I'll buy it, too repetitive and just bland
It's the same the whole game :/ yeah don't buy lol they should port the new Ragnarok MMO on Vita instead tbh

I hate it that BoF IV isn't available in Europe
3rd Birthday is a good game, anyone who thinks they might like fun shooter RPG-lites should definitely give it a go. At least if they can stomach Toriyama's storytelling.
About to try my copy of Monster Monpiece that just arrived (2 day transit from Hong Kong to California, 6 day transit to my state).
While I didn't really get a discount for buying the Asian version, I can confirm that you do in fact get a code for Neptune on the inside of the box, which is why I took the risk on it Although fyi, to my surprise the code is region-locked to Hong Kong/Malaysia/Singapore/Taiwan/Indonesian PSN accounts, incompatible with JP accounts. I was going to go JP but I suppose this makes the decision for me! Hope there are Asian versions of other games I decide to preorder later.
Edit: Switch already paying off, English Samurai & Dragons
Edit2: While I wasn't planning on playing it a second time, Jetpack Joyride oddly costs HK$32 ($4).

Work internet is shit today, but I finally managed to download Knytt Underground, and Aqua Kitty.
Aqua Kitty: Charming and fun. Really enjoying it.
Knytt: Underground Vita: Visually beautiful, and the non-linear, almost Metroid (and Metroidvania) style game design is intriguing. Not too far into it, but I'm enjoying it as well. I wouldn't have paid $14.99 for it, but $8.99 was good ($10 and under is my sweet spot for PSN titles). I took a few screens, but I'll have to post them when I have time, since my break is over.

I bought the ultimate edition that is supposed to have the gold and sliver pass. I'm supposed to have extra tracks, courses and music but they're not in the game or on my DL history in the store. Did I understand things wrong?

3RD BIRTHDAY IS NOT A GOOD GAME.
No let me rephrase that.
The gameplay isn't terrible. Its repetitive and completely filled with arena rooms but it isn't terrible. The story however...the story isn't just stomach thrashing...IT'S THE GOD DAMN WORST PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT THAT HAS EVER BEEN PUT ON A DISC AND SOLD. IT KILLED WHAT IS PERHAPS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SERIES *...ok that isn't true. I didn't like PS2. PS1 is without a doubt one of my favorite games of all times.
This isn't hyperbole people. You thought Other M was bad? You thought that killed a character? NO. AYA BREA IS DEAD TO ME NOW. FUCK THAT GAME.
*right behind FFXIII
March 4, and yes, the subscription stacks.

No you should have them, try looking at the dlc in the store, perhaps it's now free for you
Oh, had no idea there was such a thing...
If it's not in your download history.... uh oh Sony.
Sorry man.
Check the PSN store and go the the DLC section for Ridge Racer. See if the Gold and Silver passes have prices or whether they show as free for you.
Still better than KH, COME AT ME BRO

Oh, wait a sec. You have to go to the DLC section of the game and suddenly all courses, music and cars are free. What a weird way of handling this. Off to hoarding all that junk
Damn that is weird, glad you got it sorted though, with all the extras it is a pretty good game
Looks great too

Yep, it felt like a Gameloft version of Monster Hunter to me.
I'll wait for Soul Sacrifice and PSO2.

Phew, false alarm. That's exactly where they were, I've never seen this way of offering DLC before. Thanks for your help!

I don't agree with you. 3rd Birthday is an excellent shooter, with an epic scope and great setting. Story is crazy but drives the narrative along. Graphics are stunning, and the gameplay is much improved on Vita with the second analog stick.
My man.
I'm glad someone was here to hold the fort on protecting "my waifu" from people seeing Square's character assassination attempt.
No, it's an awful piece of shit that shat on my waiting 10 years for a sequel to PE2 face with no answers to the main plot device (why was Aya killed on her wedding day!?) nor answers the cliff-hanger to PE2.
Fuck Square and double fuck Toriyama. Way to pay back my loyality, asshats.
Isn't that process about the same as the Wipeout HD/Fury add-on? If you already owned Wipeout HD/Fury for PS3, the DLC showed up as free in the store.Damn that is weird, glad you got it sorted though, with all the extras it is a pretty good game
Looks great too

Well, lucky for you it's not really a Parasite Eve game so if they ever decided to get back the license and do a Parasite Eve 3 that acts like 3rd Birthday never happened(and Toriyama didn't have anything to do with it), they very easily could. It's not even semi-official canon to the Parasite Eve story, unlike Metroid: Other M is to Metroid, it's more of a Toriyama fan fic that could (& should) be ignored, as far as story goes.
Can't really see why you'd care so much about the story, though, it's not like Parasite Eve 1 is God tier in that respect. It's dark yet somewhat goofy C grade shit like Resident Evil. Enjoyable, but not something I personally go apeshit over when sequels don't "do it justice." 3rd Birthday just adds Toriyama's unneeded time travel fetish & stupid twists into the mix.
I have more fun actually playing 3rd Birthday than the first game, which is all that matters to me (the PE1 combat system has a neat-o concept, but it never really evolves into anything truly great, whereas 3rd Birthday is exciting and gets you really involved into the battles)
