[kiyomi]

The problem I'm having is that its still showing my US account on my vita even with no card inserted. I can't deactivate the system because of the error message. It won't let me sign in under my Japanese account due to this.

Have you tried rebooting the whole system (hold down the power button)?

TOTP ; buy Persona 4 Golden if you haven't already, buy Senran Kagura for Grim's sake, take part in March's 12 Classic Games thread by buying Wild Arms, and be nice to everyone okay :3

It won't give the option to format or restore the datbase for some reason (like recovery mode)

 

[nampad]

Thanks everyone for the nice welcome.

Welcome to GAF! You've made a wise choice with Persona 4, good to see people still enjoying it.

As an european, I just got it 5 days ago and already got 28 hours clocked
Hope it stays that way, I also really liked P3P until the last third when it got very monotonous with the Tartarus.

Great,what games are you looking forward to?

Sonys three big games (Soul Sacrifice, Killzone, Tearaway) for sure. Hope we get a good Fifa 14 with most of the important gameplay features (Tactical Defending, Impact Engine) and a PAL release of Muramasa.
The only relatively unknown game I am looking forward to is a PSM title named Passing Time from Honey Slug and that is only because I liked Frobisher Says.

[Ljwinter]

PSABR worth $17?

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Maybe Unit 13 for me

 

[Toma]

PSABR worth $17?

I consider $20 the perfect price point (lowest price at which I'd recommend it) for it if you plan on MP battling. SP only isnt really worth the money though.

 

[Totobeni]

Because you were saying that like 2 weeks after it launched beta

nah,VitaGAF kept defending PSM even till few weeks ago.

I guess I see the truth as it is and you guys are blinded by hate and awful judgments

buy Senran Kagura for Grim's sake,

if Grimy stop changing avatars every day I might think about it.

 

[RedNumberFive]

Are either Reality Fighters or Little Deviants worth a download at those prices?

Will definitely pick up Motorstorm, Unit 13, an Super Stardust.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

if Grimy stop changing avatars every day I might think about it.

I'm keeping this Hikage one for a little while! Or at least switching to another Hikage one after a week or two.

[kiyomi]

As an european, I just got it 5 days ago and already got 28 hours clocked

Yeah, I was the same way. I must've put about 30 hours in during the first week I owned it. Still haven't finished it ; I have 68 hours on the clock. Irony is, I imported it here to the UK just so I could play it sooner and I bet half of the European owners are gonna finish it before I do!

And all of you who happen to own the DVDs of good anime like Monster, WATCH IT.

I wanted to but I can never commit to a show that's longer than around 40 episodes.

 

[Ljwinter]

Unit 13 for $13 is a steal.

 

[zulux21]

mlb the show for $8.81 is tempting...
also plants vs zombies isn't a horrible add, but at the same time I own it so many times already :/

 

[Ponn]

Games that have already been on sale. Will by something when they give MvsC3, Lumines, NLKS or EDF a proper discount.

Deactivating your system isn't sufficient to let you enter another PSN account anyway. The only way to enter another PSN account is to reset the system memory. You should be able to do this without deactivating first. It'll ask you to, but you can skip it, and leaving it activated actually speeds up the process of switching back later.

The switch process has been wonky for me ever since firmware 2.00 but I can usually get the ball rolling from the recovery menu.

 

[btkadams]

i think i will get smart as and hustle kings. any owners recommend them? smart as seemed interesting, but i wonder if the full game is lacking? hustle kings is cross buy isnt it?

 

[Takao]

Toro? What the fuck, why advertise him when you guys keep removing him from games, and don't allow his already English translated games onto NA/EU PSN?

Because they want to break our spirits with the hope of a new Heroes game.

He's referring to the Google Translated PSP trilogy Bandai put out. It's likely not on PSN because Scamco's license to release the games either expired, or never had digital rights.

 

[anddo0]

Games that have already been on sale. Will by something when they give MvsC3, Lumines, NLKS or EDF a proper discount.

Yep.

I own 9 of those titles (got PvsZ for $7.99 sale). The others don’t interest me.

 

[mauaus]

Games that have already been on sale. Will by something when they give MvsC3, Lumines, NLKS or EDF a proper discount.

NLKS sale would have been nice!

 

[Kerub]

You guys should really buy Super Stardust on this sale, if you don't have it yet. It's really good value for that price.

 

[Toma]

i think i will get smart as and hustle kings. any owners recommend them? smart as seemed interesting, but i wonder if the full game is lacking? hustle kings is cross buy isnt it?

Both games worth it apparently. Havent yet written full impressions on Hustle Kings, but all Smart as owners like the game. It just wasnt worth the amount of money being asked for this kind of game.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Glad I held out for PvZ all this time. Also will probably get Smart As...

Salty that Lumines is not on that sale list though. The US plus members have been getting trolled by that game hard.

[SmokyDave]

You think the Vita is a brick? It is like the same size and weight as a 3DS? I do wish I could find a nice sleeve case for it though.

Aye, it's a brick. I don't have any pockets that it fits in comfortably, even on my jackets. I don't really mind because I predominantly use it at home anyway. I never carry my 3DS anywhere either

Spoiler

because it's shit.

Toro? What the fuck, why advertise him when you guys keep removing him from games, and don't allow his already English translated games onto NA/EU PSN?

My sentiments exactly. The guy's awesome and they treat him in the most erratic manner. Kuro gets an even rougher deal.

I was able to sign in on my 16 GB card after NOT deactivating and restoring. When it asked if I had a PSN account I said no, then entered the information for my Japanese account. I'm worried at this point when I switch back to my US account later tonight if it will ask me to format my 32GB card.

REALLLLLY don't want to do that.


I'll definitely be buying MLB at that price. Considering Escape plan. If i didn't already have PSABR and UNIT 13 those would be a no-brainer. Might get Sound Shapes but I really didn't think the demo was that great unless you got into building your own levels.

 

[VanWinkle]

Some really nice sales, and free Plants vs Zombies is cool. There was no way I was going to puck it up at $15 but I do like the game. I'll probably pick up Escape Plan and Smart As.

And Tito, there's no way you have played Hustle Kings if you think it should be $.99. That game was way more content than any iOS fame I've played, whether 99 cents or 5 dollars.

Wow, ok then. Thanks for the input. I mean that in the nicest way.. Needless to say I disagree on almost all fronts with the exception of Reality Fighters.

Unit 13 PSP graphics? I strongly disagree there.

 

[Dec]

I think I'm going to pick up Stranger's Wrath (I know it's not on sale I just haven't got it yet).

Anyone have any more opinions of Unit 13? I know Toto is down on things a lot (but I appreciate the short warning) so I am interested in some contrasting opinions.

Waiting for something to happen with Lumines, NLKS, and EDF.

The AI isn't the best, but the controls are good, the levels are conducive to a handheld (finished in less than 10 minutes) and it's difficult enough to find it enjoyable.

Let's see

Escape Plan $14.99 $10.49 $7.34 Not that good. More or less just a show off for Vita functionality with an interesting artstyle.
Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational $35.99 $25.19 $17.63 Fantastic game, must buy.
Hustle Kings PS Vita $9.99 $6.99 $4.89 Lots of content, definitely worth $5 if you like Pool Billard.
Little Deviants $17.99 $12.59 $8.81 Horrible tech demo and not fun to play, dont buy.
MLB The Show 12 PS Vita $17.99 $12.59 $8.81 I havent played it yet, but from what other people said, best game of that sport.
ModNation Racers: Road Trip $17.99 $13.99 $9.79 Not the best Karting game, shoddy framerate and loading time sometimes, go and buy Sonic Racing instead if possible. Still worth it for Karting enthusiasts that like the idea of creating and sharing their tracks at $10 though.
MotorStorm RC Complete Edition $11.99 $8.39 $5.87 Fantastic game, one of the best games on the store. Endless replayability, tight controls and the best integration of leaderboards and friend scores to date.
PlayStation All Stars: Battle Royale $35.99 $25.19 $17.63 It wasnt really worth the full price since its a bit low on content, but below $20 is fair if you are into MP battling.
Reality Fighters $17.99 $12.59 $8.81 Why this thing is not free? Do not buy
Smart As $26.99 $18.89 $13.22 For PS+ users $14 is kinda an ok price for it. Others seem to like it.
Sound Shapes $14.99 $10.49 $7.34 Buy, buy, buy.
Super Stardust Delta $9.99 $6.99 $4.89 Buy./B]
Unit 13 $26.99 $18.89 $13.22 Graphics are okay, but not what the Vita is capable of. $13 for Unit 13 is a decent deal.



even that SCEA and SCEE ignore Toro, he is still the only "official" PlayStation mascot.

 

[Kerub]

Uhm, I doubt that Unit 13 could be made on the PSP without very noticeable downgrades.

 

[jwk94]

I think I'm going to pick up Stranger's Wrath (I know it's not on sale I just haven't got it yet).

Anyone have any more opinions of Unit 13? I know Toto is down on things a lot (but I appreciate the short warning) so I am interested in some contrasting opinions.

I bought Unit 13 last Christmas and love it. There are a ton of missions (40 I think) and when you're done with each, you can do it again but on a Dynamic setting which changes the objective some and makes it a tad bit harder.

You'll also gain stars depending on your performance (time, accuracy, etc) in each level which are used to unlock contracted kills or something like that. Basically those are jobs where you have to progress through a level fighting waves of baddies, and get to the final guy you have to kill. I generally found this to be kinda difficult because if you died, you started at the beginning. I'm spent quite a few hours here and there and am about halfway done with the game.

Anyone have any more opinions of Unit 13? I know Toto is down on things a lot (but I appreciate the short warning) so I am interested in some contrasting opinions.

Overall, I like it. It's very arcadey and a pretty good fit if you have just a few minutes to play a game. So it's not quite a sitting down, more immersive experience like U:GA, but it's certainly not a bite-sized iOS thing, either. I guess it strikes a slightly awkward middle area. There's quite a lot of room for improving your score and quite a few of the levels you can tackle in differing ways ; some you can even do without killing a single guy, which is cool. Graphically it's nothing special, but it runs smoothly and plays fine, although you might find the aiming a little fiddly if you've played Uncharted and had the wonderful gyro aiming from that. It's a solid TPS for the price.

 

[RoKKeR]

I think I'll bite on Hot Shots and Sound Shapes. Pretty solid sale. Might save the $17 on Unit 13 for something a bit less...polarizing.

 

[callous]

Unit 13 PSP graphics? I strongly disagree there.

That's a polite way of saying it. I'll follow suit. I also strongly disagree. I'll follow it up with recommending Unit 13 heartily. It's probably my most played Vita game and it looks fantastic. It's also not short. At all.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

So we all agree that PSM is a failure right now.

Question is, why people were attacking me like crazy every single time I talked about PSM before?

Failure or no failure. It´s bringing games for the Vita. Isn´t that the most important? Besides Sony would benefit greatly if Mobile were including more countries.

Stranger's Wrath is going on sale like next week I believe in North America.

 

[Figboy79]

I love all these people showing Unit 13 some love! I've been pimping that game since it released, but many folks were dismissing it because, "Hur, hur, Zipper."

Unit 13 is a great 3rd person shooter for the Vita. It's missions are fun and challenging, and it feels great. Glad to see more people finally giving it a shot. I don't own it anymore, but I'm tempted to use my $10 PSN credit to snag it tomorrow...

but like Takao says, Stranger's Wrath goes on sale soon, and I've never played that one.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

I thought this said 'Toto' :lol

Everyone ignores Toto :lol

[Allforce]

Hot Shots finally for me, that's a game I DEMAND on the memory card for quick burst of play, but the 35.99 price is fucking ridiculous when you can get a sealed copy on eBay for 15 bucks.

Stardust is bought for 5 bucks

Hustle Kings for 5 bucks, why not, I like billiards.

Sound Shapes I only have heard good things but have no idea what gameplay is like

Unit 13 is like SOCOM no? Seems redundant.
