Alright i fucking had it. Playing MGS2. Everytime i go into 1st person mode (R-Trigger) it'll pop in pop out. I find I need to press the trigger closer to the inside of the console and hold it with a little pressure (not a real lot but enough where its unnatural). Is this common or should I call sony and get another replacement repair.

You wouldn't happen to be touching the rear touch are you? Holding the right side of the back touch leans right, left is left, both is standing on tip toes.

shake (press square and square again with nothing equipped in right slot) em out of bosses/big enemies

[JakkuFurosu]

If it means anything I don't even know how to get dog tags.

sneak up from behind....point gun. freeze.
walk to front and point gun at him (this where 1st person fucks me up) if you drop in and out of first person, dick around too long hell pull his gun and set off alarm


for bosses like that1dude24 said....just bounce them about a bit

oh jeez, are there are dog tags for regular enemies? how do you know which ones have em?

[JakkuFurosu]

oh jeez, are there are dog tags for regular enemies? how do you know which ones have em?

lol yeah theres hundreds with the different gameplay levels.

if you look at enemies where the dogtag would naturally lie (below neckline) youll see a glint of light if they have one.


some guys wont drop tags right away (the smartasses) what you gotta do to them is actually shoot their arm/leg and then point gun back at face. Its gotta be a real gun the tranq wont get these dicks to drop the goods

[that1dude24]

thanks for the info. definitely not going after 100% dog tags this run, lol.

That's not the only way, you can just fire a shot past their ear.

Or put a stinger in their face. I guess no one's going to argue with a rocket to the face.

Man sometimes I can't believe how dumb these publishers are.
Even a game from Sony...

They should know that VLR will launch on this date and now they launch it on the same f'ing day. Vita's lineup isn't even so big that there're big releases every week/month, so it shouldn't be too hard to manage them a bit better.

Also even when P4 and AC: L are different genres, there'll be enough people who would buy both but now buy only 1 of them and wait for a price drop for the other one...

[JakkuFurosu]

whaddya gonna do???shoot me?
damn right im shooting your arm talking slick like that.

im not as forgiving as you :( but yeah you can use these methods as well

[blurrygil]

Heh heh, I like the Pinball Arcade game too. Was able to set top score in a few games, but I haven't gone back yet. Was asking about 5000 pages back who else like the pinball game. No one replied, but someone said Zen Pinball is coming too.

Yea, totally love this game. SO much better than Zen in the physics dept. I collect and play real pins, so physics have to be spot on. TPA nails it about 98% down. Some hiccups, but it's damn near perfect. :)

Cirqus Voltaire + Funhouse expansion is out now. Both are SO good. Farscape to put out Monster Bash and Gorgar add-on soon! And then are working on Creature from the Black Lagoon, Twilight Zone and are currently taking kickstarter money for Star Trek: TNG!!!

So hype for the new boards!

Come to Europe already Pinball Arcade!!!! I tried the Android version, but it is a bit choppy and touch controls don't do it for me. Also OLED.

smh, why does these publishers do this? I own other systems and a gaming PC and I already want Dishonored,XCOM,Forza Horizon and Doom 3 BFG with AC3L and P4G(if not region locked) and VLR in that freaking month.

spread your shit on the entire year you stupid publishers.

[smr00]

So i was taking some in-game shots of Rayman and Uncharted to show my friend how good these games look, and the screens look great on the vita but man do they look like complete shit when you copy them to the PC.

Also had no idea you could even take in-game shots till earlier today and it blew my fucking mind. Any Vita game suggestions? gonna take advantage of that B2G1 sale at BB that's coming up this sunday.

Right now i have Rayman, Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Virtua Tennis and Unit 13.

[sajj316]

Yup, the OS level screenshots are crap. Might as well take a decent digital camera and snap the screen ...

Thinking Virtue's Last Reward is going to be the other one. Both US imports. Europe's definitely getting the short end of the stick here. :(

MGS HD, FIFA, Wipeout, Mortal Kombat, MvC are decent games that you might be interested in depending on taste.

[sajj316]

I've been taking screens of my PSP games on the Vita to contribute to the Vita/PSP screenshot thread. Even the iPhone 4+ will do it justice.

Need For Speed Most Wanted is also October 30th

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

Finally finished Tactics Ogre after a little more than 50 hours. Honestly, I wasn't sure that I was going to be able to complete the game. The end boss is...ugh. In the SMT games, it's okay that the bosses are ludicrously difficult because you're equipped to deal with that level of bullshit. In Tactics Ogre, on the other hand, everything is a cakewalk up until that final boss. Then, suddenly, it's the old Japanese "man vs. MASSIVE DEMON GOD THING WITH INSTAKILLS." In the end, however, it's worth it. After being deprived of substantial story advancement for something like 12 battles, the ending is awesome. They really knocked it out of the park and restored my desire to return to the game after the end boss threatened to leave me with a bad impression.

I've been eyeing this title for a while, but have been incredibly wary in buying it off of PSN becuase the (short) time I spent with Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions left a bad taste in my mouth. I only really have one question: Is there an option for you to control your party members manually? I know that some sections of the game require you to either protect/escort characters controlled by AI, and heard that the AI is incredibly dense. I then watched some gameplay footage and saw that you only controlled Denam, but also read you can switch the AI to manual control.

[GraveHorizon]

I had this problem last night. I was trying to upload 16 video files for an international flight, however the Vita just kept clocking while searching for a connection. I restarted the Vita. Nothing. So I went to bed. This morning I restarted again, reconnected, and it worked. I don't think I did anything other than hit the "connect to PC" button, which previously froze the fucker. I guess my (shitty) advise is, keep restarting and you may get lucky. Hopefully Sony is aware...or cares.

Didn't work. A new thing I just noticed is that the Albums listed aren't current. I deleted a few from the Music folder earlier, but they still show up when the Vita is looking for content. Also, changing the folder with the Content Manager Assistant doesn't help anything. And the still issue applies for videos and photos. I hope I don't have to reformat my Vita just to be able to put any music, pictures, or videos on it.

On the subject of awareness, the few other people replying to any questions about the issue don't seem to understand it at all. It's all "Uh, use the Content Manager, duh" or "You have to use mp3 format, try converting them." As if the people they're talking to are complete morons.

Don't worry, you control (most of) your party manually by default. There can be / will be guests in your party which can't be controlled but I never had a problem with their ai.

The game feels much more modern than FFT, despite being a remake of an older game. It's very apparent that a lot of love went into revamping the game.

You manually control your party members (anywhere from 0 to 11, excluding Denam) by default. The only units you can't control are guests, but you don't have to worry about them dying permanently unless you choose to recruit them. The escort missions can be a nuisance, but there are very few beyond the early portion of the game, and moreover, they can typically be completed handily using Canopus.

The game is very good and I highly recommend it. If it wasn't great, then I wouldn't have bothered to finish it :)

Edit: Also, having finished TO, I find it much easier to appreciate and enjoy FFT. While TO is far and away the better port/remake, it's also a fair bit easier than FFT. Moreover, FFT is essentially the spiritual successor to TO.

*Mental note to save a small fortune for October

Excellent that we are getting some concrete dates, any word on Jet Set Radio/Sonic and Sega Allstars?

Need For Speed Most Wanted is also October 30th

Is this likely to be like the version on other platforms where it is similar to burnout paradise? If that's the case....that would be incredible.

FUCK YEAH EDIT:

The rest of the game, however, appears to be fairly similar to the home console versions, with open-world racing/chasing, "non-stop multiplayer" and the integration of Autolog 2, the next version of Criterion's fantastic social networking feature. Earlier today, Criterion told us that Most Wanted will feature "all the best shit" from Burnout.

I really hope this doesn't fall through...this would be a groundbreaker for social portable racing.

[Famassu]

Need For Speed Most Wanted is also October 30th

NFS MW is coming to Vita? :O I hope it's not just an afterthought, but some real effort is put into it.

Forgot Mortal Kombat is $19.99 at Gamestop today only.

It's been $20 all week due to a misprint in the ad I believe. Picked it up on Wednesday myself.

[test_account]

Very late to the party on this, but i'd didnt notice until recently that trophies now sync in the background. It also appears that it sync it faster than before.

[Hinzel]

Man, I would impulse buy a lot more digital content if the prices were more reasonable, or if we got any of the sales that EU is getting......

VT4, unit 13 and MvC will be mine some day when they are cheaper

[Skyzard]

VT4 tomorrow or sunday sometime and somehow for us in EU...still waiting on that. I trust it, just a bit confused about timing or lack of announcements etc. It seemed quite secretive, with all Jawad's ;) after the VT4 sale posts in the EU blog comment section.

[Mammoth Jones]

Is Virtual Tennis 4 on sale in the US? I would buy that game in a heartbeat if I could...

I think you still have to properly synch your trophies for them to actually appear in your profile. But it's true that they somehow synch in the background and trophy tracking sites can already grab them from your account, even when you have not manually synched them.

[Skyzard]

dafuq. Probably pass then..I didn't get any actual Vita games in the sale, bought most of them at full price. Oh except everybody's golf when it dropped the first time. good buy. Still, a bit too much for 3d pong with a tennis themed graphics...or is that not accurate?

[Delusibeta]

Problem is P4G might be region locked. I'll pre order/import AC3L and VLR but will wait to see what the fuck the Atlus is doing with their region locking bullshit.

They've denied locking Gold.

Looks like my post claiming that the Arena situation would cause confusion and FUD with regards to Gold was spot on.
