I figure you could make a vague estimate by simply comparing the number of ratings that a PS3 game has versus a Vita game, if they happen to be released in the same time frame.

Like looking at the Web Store, Assassin's Creed 3 has 2913 ratings, while Assassin's Creed Vita has 1681 ratings.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted is pretty close: 1295 PS3, 1112 Vita.

I wish Puppeteer was on Vita. I'm SO excited for that game.

If trends follow, it'll be free sooner or later (probably later) on PS+.
We've pretty much gotten all the games EU has that were better than our offerings, save maybe Arkham City at this point?

True. I hope.

Quick question for my P4G Vitabros...

I just romanced Chie, but now Yukiko wants some action. Will I screw things up by trying to romance too many of the ladies? I'm not trying to sound like "Studman69", but I tried this tactic once in high school and once in college, with disastrous results. It did not turn out well.

Nothing major, although

Spoiler

you might feel a bit of guilt in February.

Awww man... give me a bit more context. I'll allow this one spoiler to pass through. I'd like to see things through with a couple of the girls, especially the drama chick, but I could never break Chie's heart.

Also, where the hell does Kanji hang out after school? I want to work on that social link, but I'm not sure where he's hiding.

If you're really not concerned about spoilers...

Spoiler

You can only choose one girl to take on a Valentine's day date. Each of the other girls who you are in a relationship with and rejected will have a unique "sad" scene, and some of them are really heartbreaking. :/

Kanji is usually in Shopping District North, near his mother's textile shop.

I'm a cold-hearted bastard. I'll deal with it.

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to avoid FAQs as much as possible until the end game where I can evidently miss extra dungeons.

Edit: On the previous note, where does Rise hang out? FYI, I just finished the finals/midterms/whatever. Thanks again for your help.

She's on floor 1 of the Classroom Building at school (staring at a red button on the wall, lol) and the right side of Shopping District South outside of school.

Awesome, that makes sense as she's a year younger. Thanks again, as I said I've been trying to avoid spoilerific FAQs.

 

[Noi]

Kanji is at Practice Building 1F on School days and at Shopping District North on holidays/Sunday. If you haven't started his Slink yet, you need to talk to a girl in Classroom Building 2F first.

 

[crinale]

Wait, I thought Kanji will be at Tatsumi Textiles only at nights and Sundays.
He'll be at 1st floor of Practice of Practice Building at high school during weekdays, IIRC.

Oops, he is. I interpreted the question as "where does Kanji hang out outside of school."

You both helped, so thanks. I've been ignoring Kanji completely.

 

[Ran rp]

I'm seeing P4 posts and I'm afraid to read the thread again.

 

[RedNumberFive]

I'm seeing P4 posts and I'm afraid to read the thread again.

It's cyclical I suppose. I'm already thinking about a new game +, and I haven't done one of those since Chrono Trigger in the SNES days. Everyone was right, the game is THAT good, and I'm one of those people who generally shy away from anime-ish sort of games.

 

[Trent Strong]

I thought that if you deleted a digital game from your Vita, it wouldn't delete the game's saves, and you could download the game again and still have your same save data. Boy, was I wrong.

 

[crinale]

Isn't over my body PSP developed by a third party studio(Alfa?)? is the new one by SCE Japan Studio?

but well.. just to be fair here -if Japan Studio is behind it this time- SCE Japan Studio already working on The Last Guardian,Puppeteer,Rain,and now Knack (Toyama Team most likely working on something) so I guess they are busy"for real" this time.

He said he'll be doing sequel for Gravity Rush. I'm not sure if that's what he is doing now, though.

 

[RedNumberFive]

I thought that if you deleted a digital game from your Vita, it wouldn't delete the game's saves, and you could download the game again and still have your same save data. Boy, was I wrong.

I've made that mistake as well. The Live Screen / save system is needlessly complicated.

 

[RedNumberFive]

Ok, I've changed my mind. Yumi is now my P4G main squeeze. I've always been attracted to the broken girls. I'm not sure why I can't break away from my natural instincts in an RPG.

 

[Vodh]

Well, as you said, they're your natural instincts... Or more precisely, preferences. If it's a characteristic that can be simulated in an imaginary character, no reason you'd find it any less attractive in the game.

 

[Takao]

Jeez... no reason people think SCEJ is incompetent. I bet they're not even doing a Boku no Natsuyasumi for the Vita.

My Summer Vacation is a casual game series. Why would that be on Vita now anyways?

 

[Number45]

If I'm Shu "Shooter" Yoshida I'll go for early PSN games ,Toy Home, Dark Mist, Snakeball,Super Rub-a-Dub ect, duct tape trophies on them and throw them for $5 each.

I'd take a Vita Dark Mist with trophies. In fact I'd take it without trophies! Did it ever actually get released in the EU?

BTW, when do they usually announce the next month of EU PS+?

We seem to get it towards the end of the week prior to the first store update, so I'd guess at next Thursday/Friday.

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

Well I got Ragnarok and im glad I did. Only put an hour and a bit in so far but im really liking it.

Its basically as I thought from the demo that its a cross between God Eater and Phantasy Star Online.

The combat is closer to GE but with classes and more combos to do.

The mission structure is closer to PSO as its not all boss fights (although there are plenty of those)

No levels, again this is like GE so its all gear based. The card and armour system adds possitive and negative effects just like GE does as well.

My internets been really screwy lately (which should be getting fixed tonight) so I havn't tried the online yet. Still if you like these kinds of games I currently recommend it. I would say its really nothing like MH. If you love that then it doesnt mean you will like this. I my self dont like MH much but love PSO and GE so if you are like me then this might be your thing.

Will help keep me going till Soul Sacrifice or PSO2 if it actually comes out here (please let it come out here)

Also playing P4G still. Made Chie my GF a while back and I cant cheat on her lol. Its to harsh a thing to do.

 

[Number45]

Is GEB passable as a single player title?

 

[BomberMouse]

It was pretty meh and barebones, the DLC added a lot of content though.

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

Is GEB passable as a single player title?

Well i completed al the main game and the burst expansion single player. So yes.... easily passable single player.

Got 75 hours out of it on my first character

Played another 20 with a new character at one point as well.

Also it has an amazing intro. Possibly the only one I have watched multiple times.

Game Republic is dead.

It's the first birthday of the vita guys!!!

oh yeah. 1 year since I got my vita as well.

Been a good year.

 

[tamaster92]

I agree. Vita has many many problems but man it's a good machine.

Good hardware, good games. Been a great year as a owner

yeah. All I know for sure is I have got more games on this system in a year than any other system I have ever owned. So while its not appealing to a lot of people (for what ever reason), it appeals perfectly to me.

Been loving PS+ so much that I added a full year. Just for the cloud saving and auto updating alone its worth it (although that should be a standard feature). Never have to worry about loosing save files. Free games just make it amazing.

 

[Number45]

Game Republic is dead.

Sony published didn't they? At least in some regions... :'(

 

[Tomodachi]

Kenji Eno's death made me realize that I'd really love to play D's PSOne version on Vita... no chance it will ever get on PSN, right?

 

[tamaster92]

Psplus update in 20 minutes!

@PlayStationEU: Heads-up #PSPlus members, we'll be revealing your March content at 1pm GMT on PS Blog. Any guesses? http://t.co/JQLVdWRBes

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

Psplus update in 20 minutes!

Ohhh

I would like dynasty warriors please.

 

[TheSeks]

Hey, that elephant bridge building game wasn't bad! I'd take it with trophies on the go, maybe!

It's the first birthday of the vita guys!!!

How can it have a birthday, if it was stillborn? *trollface*

 

[sajj316]

Spam Yoshida to get remote play added to it.

and get blocked on twitter .. Make the point once. Hopefully it'll spur a retweet. You do and I'm pretty sure Vitabros will retweet

 

[hurzelein]

I guess Katamari or Unit 13 for this month PS Plus. Your thoughts guys?

 

[michaelius]

Is GEB passable as a single player title?

Passable ? It's perfectly fine single player game They even programmed specific quirks into AI controlling non playing characters.


Also
http://www.rainbow-skies.com/

Probably comming to PS3/PSV or PS4/PSV as they are now porting PS3 version of Rainbow Moon to PSV.

 

[tamaster92]

I'm still hoping for ninja gaiden

Pls

 

[Number45]

MGS HD Collection and Puddle. Fuck yes.

 

[hurzelein]

MGS HD FOR VITA

OMFG, SONY IS KILLING IT.



Would have been my first choice but I didnt even want to think of it.

 

[Cha]

It's the first birthday of the vita guys!!!

Hey, you're right!
I shall celebrate by trying to complete the first game that I got for it (Wipeout 2048).

Psplus update in 20 minutes!

All I ask for, is something that I don't already own.

 

[DemonNite]

look up

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Yeah nice plus update although I won't be getting rid of my cartridge based MGS due to the massive files sizes. I will add to my list and hopefully should 64+ cards come out then maybe I will consider blowing 8gb on it.

In summary
Leaving PS Plus in March:

13th March: Wipeout 2048
20th March: Lumines Electronic Symphony

Entering PS Plus in March:

13th March: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
20th March: Puddle

 

[Twinduct]

March is looking awesome though. MGS HD for Vita and ME3, DOA5, Joe Danger 2 for PS3 ... might be the first month I didn't own almost all of the items!

 

[Sintoid]

Probably I'm one of the three Vitabros in the world that bought both the March PS+ games
