I have a big 32GB card. I'm finally part of the 32gb master race!

Yeah no. there is nothing like that,thing is(without exaggeration) 32GB is not big and is not enough.

I went from 8Gb to 16GB to 32GB since May 2012 when I got my PSvita, filled them so fast it's not even funny,32GB will not be good for anyone actually buy games in 2013,and multi cards are annoying, Sony's content manager assistant it trash and slow and don't have decent or any useful or advanced options,Vita's memory card situation is a pure ugly disaster.

 

[Shoyz]

Backing up a (retail) save is more convenient with content manager than it was on PSP. /shrug

 

[Live Free or Die]

Holy crap! Just checked the vita referral site and they updated the leaderboard again:

Travis 45 referrals 1st Place
John 27 referrals 2nd Place
Jacob 18 referrals 3rd Place

lol

wow someone my referrals are being updated. I made 10 referrals 2 say Unsuccessful now, 4 say Accepted and 4 say Success - Pending.

 

[MoxManiac]

That sounds like cheating to me. Why would there be officially-sanctioned cheating?

In his defense, TO's crafting system is bullshit. But I guess you can still save and reload a save to do the same thing, just more time consuming.

1st place 45

the program was a failure then.

Sony need to bring a price drop and good marketing with super effective ads asap.

Seems like many of mine were unsuccessful. Only 2 of my friends, StarCreator, and Noi worked.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Seems like many of mine were unsuccessful. Seems like only 2 of my friends, StarCreator, and... gah, I don't know the names of users here so I dunno, but I think DigitalOp.

Do yours still say Success - Pending?

 

[wilflare]

hmm how do I know if mine is successful.. or not. lol. can't remember who referred me

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Do yours still say Success - Pending?

Some do, the four I mentioned above say "Success - Closed" and almost all the others say "Unsuccessful".

 

[Live Free or Die]

Some do, the four I said above say "Success - Closed" and almost all the others say "Unsuccessful".

Oh ok, cool. I was wondering what it would say if the referral was successful. Did you get the PSN credit yet?

I think you should be able to check the referral site for the status.

 

[StarCreator]

So I'm a success? But I don't have money yet T_T

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Negatory on the credit.

So I'm a success? But I don't have money yet T_T

Yeah, yours went through. As for the credit, maybe it'll come after this month when it's over?

 

[dsigns1]

Success - closed means it was successful. im trying to figure out what accepted means.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Success - closed means it was successful. im trying to figure out what accepted means.

I think that means someone used your referral, but didn't input their serial # and ID.

 

[kiyomi]

No idea what I'm gonna spend my $20 on when it comes through - if it comes through.

agreed, and honestly i've never been one for trophies - i really dont like them, but for some reason i find myself going after them only recently on vita... wierd.

Hey, either approach is cool, you enjoy it for trophies or whatever reason you want! Unit 13 is a pretty fun game though, happy I took advantage of the sale.

 

[Sidewinder]

1 accepted 2 success pending and the rest is now Unseccessfull ;( well it was too good to be true.

 

[kiyomi]

Semi-related : My serial number sticker fell off the other day, is that number in any of the documentation that comes with the system? I still have everything in the box, and I've actually kept the sticker. Wondering if I should glue it back on or something..

It should be written on your box somewhere.

Just keep it inside a game case or something.

Mine peeled off months ago and disappeared. I dunno what a serial # looks like for a Vita, but there's a serial on the box it came in. Try that?

 

[corrosivefrost]

I'll be 26 this year so I'm not too far from you, I feel the same way. I remember the days of Faxanadu and Megaman 1-3, etc. I just have a soft spot for awesome pixel art and or chiptune music. I think the main thing people got let down by was how it's really focused on hitting that nostalgia string, which I personally love.

To add contrast, I'm in my 30s and the references were not enjoyable to me from what I played, and because of this, I had no reason to excuse what I felt to be boring/unenjoyable gameplay.

 

[kiyomi]

Didn't think it would be on the outside, haha. I'll go check later, thanks.

this about RCR?

yeah, the problem really lack of the actual game play, outside the boring and unfunny references the core gameplay itself is almost not there and is not fun at all,game is just freaking boring,what a waste.

it should've been like a 2D GTA but with Saints Row craziness(someone need to make this).

 

[wilflare]

can't seem to login.. UserID invalid or something geez

I am completely clueless why it ISNT like this.

 

[Noi]

lol, that referral thing was a total crapshoot. I'm glad enough that I'm getting $80 out of it

 

[tamaster92]

Zeroaka, any news on the referrals?

 

[Dunan]

But the risk of failure is part of the game. That's why I wish more games had the Dark Souls save system. Autosaves every few seconds to prevent "retries"

"Rewinding" when things don't go your wya is very much in the spirit of how the Tactics Ogre remake is designed. If Demon's Souls-like autosaving were in the game, the extremely monotonous and tedious crafting system would never have made it past basic quality control.

Yeah, it's about RCR.
And although I'm not a fan of Saint's Row (though 3 is decent), I would've liked that 802104983x more than I liked RCR.

I think back to my playing around in GTA2 and remember I loved finding the flamethrower and setting a pack of Elvis impersonators ablaze.

 

[dglavimans]

F*ck those memory cards.. Got the maximum of 16gb on launch for 50 euro(!) and it fills up so quick.. At the same time i refuse to pay for the 32gb, those mem cards are so tiny i wouldn"t want it anywhere else as in my vita..

Wipeout looks excellent btw, loading times are quite long but the game is ok

 

[Bl4ckSunsh1n3]

I saw that MLB 13 The Show has network saves so you can share saves and play the same game on Vita and PS3. I was already buying it for PS3 because I'm a Pirates fan but, now I'm debating the Amazon bundle of both.

They really REALLY need to do cross buy for The Show.

 

[Schobeleth]

It really is, I didn't realize how bad it was until I just tried to switch to a new card with the same account - I've seen/read the horror stories about people switching to JP accounts and stuff but just having to re-load/re-sync every trophy list is really, really stupid.

I still can't believe this is acceptable. Sure I didn't lose my progress but I've been going through all my games.. problem is several of them I got %100 on a lot and the deleted them.

Also yeah I can already see how 32GB isn't enough, I'm already down to like 22GB :\

To add contrast, I'm in my 30s and the references were not enjoyable to me from what I played, and because of this, I had no reason to excuse what I felt to be boring/unenjoyable gameplay.

Idk, I thought they were great. It seems people either loved or hated the game for it /shrug. Also, I didn't know there was a patch for RCR - you can finally blow the map up and see all the shops and stuff ... SO MUCH BETTER. Cars are faster but for some reason now fire hydrants make your car lose control a bit, which makes getting that "run over 25 pedestrians without stopping" trophy harder to get.

I am four hours in UC:GA it's a fun game. I completed UC 1/2/3 so it definitely works for me.

It starts off slow but gets better as it goes on. I really like chase as a character too.

Doesn't 12 have this as well? I don't have it on PS3, but my copy on Vita has an option for cloud saving. Either way, I think I'm going all in on the bundle this year. I'm very behind on my baseball, but recently I've been more into sports than I used to be, and baseball and hockey take the cake for me. Anyway, I'm excited for 13.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

whats the next game people are looking forward to playing on vita?

considering i am in the middle of 2 rpgs, i plan to play something like Unit 13/Resistance, sonic racing, or sly.

also, shouldnt the OP get updated with new feb releases etc.?

 

[EsotericManiac]

SS, by far

until, probably just a bunch of SF x T and maybe some sales on PSN +

So i finally platinum'd Assassin's Creed Liberation the other day. Actually really loved the single player - felt really fresh, the story was pretty good, and Aveline is a fantastic characyer. Sure it has tech issues, but nothing enough to distract from how good the game is.

Also, hi. I'll try not to get banned within a week this time.

oh well, at least it was better then the awful Uncharted 3.

 

[Schobeleth]

Oh and also I've been fooling around with Ecolibrium, here are my thoughts so far:

Awesome concept, shame it's a pay to unlock stuff type model. The gyrometer camera control was cool at first and then I realized it was pissing me off when I was trying to place stuff so I quickly switched to the analog stick.

I feel like they could have easily expanded upon this type of game, it's like the foundation for what could have been a cool sim/RTS game, I dunno, I've just been craving a sim or RTS type game on the Vita is all.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

welcome back carl - glad to see you return to form with your avatar.

don't get banned - not enough futureLab talk without you here...

on a related note - Surge?... meh. lasted two nights on my vita.

Huzzah! Carl's back! His positive attitude will help offset Totobeni!

[winjet81]

Today marks the first anniversary of the NA release of my 2012 Vita Game of the Year --> Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational.

As translated DLC seems dead in the water, I'm looking to buy imported version of the game and play on the Japanese server where the online community is still huge... and no, the language barrier isn't much of a concern.

Does anyone know of a tutorial how to get on this server using Vita? Do I need a Japanese PSN account to play? Are multiple save cards needed? Do I have to 'format' my system every time I change regions?

Any help is appreciated.
