On another note:
Has anybody who lives in Japan ever ordered from amazon.com and can tell me whether I'll have to pay import taxes when importing games from the US? Thinking about importing P4G...

Fuck for I was wrong then D:
When will I have the chance to legitemately play Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga and other PS2 era Atlus goodness ;__;

Top of the page, I guess every VitaGaf should buy and play:
Patapon 1+2
Jean D'Arc
Abe's Oddysey

Ys oath is awesome old school gameplay. I am incredibly hooked on the game now. Everybody buy it while it is on sale!

Gun Commando looked terrible, but I'll take it for free.

In the Vita/PS3 version?!
Or in the PC version? PS3/Vita had a ton of characters just kind of there... I've gotten most of them, except for the one in the 5th world, I think.

Call and ask about your Soul Sacrifice patch.

The exit to the level should be on one of the pieces of land floating on the water.

I platinumed the main game but wouldn't mind going back to it during the holidays if the DLC's worth it.

Hey, thanks for the tip! I hate open water in games - especially when there are huge beasties lurking in it - so I never ventured down there. Gonna have to be brave!

So, as a surprise to myself I just purchased a Vita on a lark. I got it used at a good price, and its the 3G model. I actually wish I'd just gotten a wifi one, but I didn't even know until I got home and turned it on. Is there a way to disable the "no sim" message in the upper left?

Downloading persona4 and some demos.
I want to get the vita native ridge racer, but the psp one and RR4 are both on psn for much much cheaper.

(1) Yes, it's the DLC. Taken just outside the CEO's office. ;)
It's challenge areas, but they're actually really good. I think it was worth the $3.

(2) I don't think the Vita/PS3 versions have coffins down there. I just tried it twice. There's a ton of chests/crates, but there's no coffin. Research sugggests The Viking which I've had unlocked since day 1, I think.

So I just got to the Crash Site of Tearaway. Game is becoming MUCH more fun. That derpy dog thing that follows you around is A+

frogg609 · (Yesterday, 04:44 AM)

So I own the Persona games (UMD) for my PSP. This sale is tempting though. Will I notice a visual difference in buying the PSN versions for my Vita?

Beyond getting away from whatever junk you have caught beneath your PSP screen protector and the bigger screen the vita has, not really.

Just got Ys Memories of Celceta and Sly Cooper for the Vita today. Got Tearaway during that 30 dollar promotion at best buy.

My girlfriend plays all the damn platformers. I haven't even touched Tearaway yet and she already beat the game.

Good thing Ys bores her. Can't wait to play that in the crapper.

Dual Blade · (Yesterday, 05:02 AM)

I've always been curious about how the online status amongst friends work with the vita. If I leave my vita in sleep mode with wifi on and a game on (or suspended in another tab) would my friends see me as 'online' and playing that game?

Or does it auto sign out after a set time in sleep mode? Or am I only 'online' if I have the friends tab open?

I think it goes in "away" mode (yellow icon)

One thing to note, for that DLC, is the entrance to the new area is a bit hard to find. If you leave the town of the dead by the upper right exit and drop straight down into the desert, head left into the chicken passage. Follow that for a room or two and you should find a guy to talk to.

Here's a link to an example challenge (#4):

Ah man. :( Well, I think Guacamelee might not be native either and it still looks great on the Vita screen (one of those few that look great despite being sub-native). Would you say the game looks nice and crisp even if it isn't native res?

Laughing Banana · (Yesterday, 05:40 AM)

I honestly can't really compare whether stuff is native or not... all the differences that my eyes can make is just "look good" or "look bad."

o_O

But I guess there is virtue in having such an untrained eyes like mine as well, huh, since I am pretty well easily pleased.

Wolf Akela · (Yesterday, 05:41 AM)

Uh, Killzone: Mercenary didn't save for me? The game told me it saves when the icon shows up. I exited the first shop and saw the icon. Quit the game. No load game.

Most probably check-point save, not a hard save.

I think the game only actually saves your progress after completely finishing the level.

Guess you really busy with Dark Arisen huh? I need to catch with it, so let me borrow your pawn to breeze through the main game that I already did with original DD :)

Have you try Soul Sacrifice yet? I really need some buddy to play with. Just bored with both Magusar and Carnatux as walking attack magnet.

Yeah, I have, just a little bit. I have this nasty habit of buying games only to neglect them, and the Vita suffers the worst from this stupid habit of mine, hahaha.

I haven't even gotten past the 1st chapter yet :P

Well... it's not that I dislike the game from the little that I have tried... maybe I should try to play it more seriously.

Although yes, currently Dark Arisen consumes my soul.

There is no "mid-mission" save.
If you bail on a mission before you complete it, you lose all your progress.
However, you can use the "shop" to create a checkpoint at will. That will replace your current checkpoint until you hit another auto-checkpoint, finish the mission, or turn off the system. If you turn off the system, all progress is lost.

It's funny -- it's got a bit of a blur at times, but it sort of seems to be a result of the "artstyle"... I don't know how to explain it. Where's bluemaxima with a direct capture video?

I guess that's a habit of mine. Its getting harder to play all of this game as you get older. I hope I could plow through most of the backlogs this holiday instead of wasting my time on GAF or other internet forum like last time :p

That's the reverse for me, Soul Sacrifice sucks my soul in. I barely arrived in Gran Soren, but I forget what should I do next. Don't have a clue to trigger the next main questline >__>

I'm enjoying Gun Commando, but the translation for Monoke Slashdown is not very good. And neither is the rest of the game.

Random but has the vita in the past had Xmas bundles or specials?

Parakeetman · (Yesterday, 06:34 AM)

Seeing the word gun commando thrown around reminded me of the game Rocketbirds which I saw on the PSN for Vita. Anyone bought that? The trailers looked pretty good.

Plus wanted to use Keets lol

I looked up Cho Aniki Zero. Man, that game looks nuts! I like it.
And thanks for the reminder about the PSM games, I almost forgot.

Today was a dark day. My girlfriend spilled coffee all over my Vita earlier. I'm pretty sure it's dead as no lights will come on. I have it sitting in a bowl of rice so hopefully it comes back to life.

That is really unlucky. My vita has met ice milk some months ago and it still worked though it was luckily not drenched as yours seems to be.

Rocketbirds was a simple but fun game imho. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It has this mind jacking mechanic which is rather enjoyable. Looking forward to the sequel

Awesome thanks for the reply! Yeah wanted to have at least one mind kill type of game that you can just play and not have to think about anything. I dug the art style when I saw it initially announced.

Riviera is on sale on US PSN, I played this on the GBA and liked it. Keep in mind it has date sim elements, but the music is pretty kickass.

So what do you guys think of Stick it to the man so far?

Oh I bought Ys from the US store before the promo ended along with Parasite Eve 2.
Once my 64 GB arrives I'm gonna weep from realizing I won't have enough space for all these PSX games =V

And this is why I always keep mine in a case when not in use. Which also includes when I put it down for a little while to type something out. Dont zip the case up but at least something is covering the face for a JIC situation.
