Just noticed the file size :lol
There's a constant stream of questions regarding "WHEN IS X FREE ON PS+" in here. So much so, that I've started making jokes about it.No, I was serious, I guess I must have missed something? Sorry. It's my first month of plus (from ps4 launch and decided to buy a year's worth). So I don't really keep up on the instant game collection.
What we need is a modbot that comes in and answers everytime someone asks. :lol
PS+ in EU gives the full month's worth of content the wednesday before the 1st of the month (the last store update for the previous month).
PS+ in NA gives 1 game per week. The last 2 weeks of the month are Vita titles. Thus Sonic will be free either 12/24 or 12/31.
Vita retail is pretty much always the last week of the month. Oh and New Years Eve is on Tuesday so that makes me wonder if they'll update the store a day early. Didn't they do that last year?Originally Posted by corrosivefrost

Edit: Nope. They updated on New Years Eve last year which was Monday so they wouldn't have to update on New Years Day which was a Tuesday http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/...re-update-272/
"aduanas" is too slow to process the intl. shipmentsSeems like the mail system in Chile is as fast as the brazilian one when handling international orders, ha!
Amazon have some pretty fast shipping methods (normally sent by DHL). My launch Vita arrived in 4 days iirc.
But I don't think Sony have worldwide warranty, and you seemed concerned about it.
I bought a vita and they tell me after to pay: we don't have stock... wat the hell! i want my money now!... chilean stores.
Yes. You need to get all the blades again. I remember when I just thought you had to beat the game on Fury and I was like, "HAY THIS ISNT SO BAD." Aw, damn. It's tedious grinding through the regular difficulties. Doing it AGAIN for Fury, with one-hit kills... It's not even that hard, it's just an ABSOLUTE GRIND. There's no skill involved in just mashing the circle button. When I finished, I didn't feel proud because I overcame a challenge. I felt proud (and kind pathetic) because I willed myself to persevere through the tedium.Originally Posted by corrosivefrost
Do you really need to collect all the blades again? I guess you do to forge the final sword for the third ending for each person? Damn.
I just remember thinking the bosses would be the worst part, as I normally get hit there at some point, even knowing patterns ...
Just put a couple days aside and commit yourself to it. It's not fun by any stretch, but dem plats.
Any Stick it to the Man or Rainbow Moon impressions? I know very little about either of them.
Just finished playing an hour of Stick It to the man, It's a very unique and very good looking game on the Vita screen. I like that it combines some light platforming with it's interesting puzzle mechanics with the stickers. It's a little difficult making out what parts of the world are interactive at first but once you know what to look for it's easy to decipher.
I'm really enjoying the game alot and I've only been playing for a bit, The touch controls are very responsive and snappy and the it's alot easier than using the control stick to use the hand. The art style however gives me a very strong Psychonauts vibe (which is not a bad thing at all) and it actually helps me enjoy the game more.
It does if you count its endless cheap death tricks :/Originally Posted by corrosivefrost
SPELUNKY IS A STEAL AT THAT PRICE.
THE GAME HAS PRETTY MUCH ENDLESS REPLAY VALUE.
TRY THE DEMO AND IF YOU LIKE IT, BUY IT.
[/end Spelunky love]
I've been playing this for a while and barely made it to the jungle level, the game's on the frustrating side despite the controls being good and the gameplay seems to be fine.
Are there any tips someone should know?
Buy it. It is a wonderful game.Originally Posted by EagleTwin
I'm on the fence with Spelunky :( it's on sale right now on EU for 6€ but I don't know what to do :S
The game is supposed to be difficult and unforgiving. It is not cheap though. The randomness has only gotten me cheap deaths a handful of times. They suck when they happen, but they are so rare that they don't become a problem for me.It does if you count its endless cheap death tricks :/

2 Spelunky icons and "PS4 remote play" one has completely disappeared from my Vita now... LOL
Just one last question...it's the redeem voucher still suspended on PSN ?? I have a 20€ code...
There's a ton of tips... EsotericManiac had put together a guide on some of the more advanced stuff with pictures.It does if you count its endless cheap death tricks :/

I guess it depends on how you play and your play style, but if you learn how to overcome whatever is currently killing you most of the time, you will do better. I was rusty when I first started playing again regularly, now I make it to the temple (or at least the ice caves) most of the time.

Move slowly. Use the "look" feature to scan below or above you for the torch stands, then move to them carefully and light with your torch. If you have a shotgun and are careful, you can use it to make a bit of light upon firing.Originally Posted by I Wanna Be The Guy
I have absolutely no idea what I'm supposed to do when the lights go out in the Jungle in Spelunky. I can't see shit and the torch you carry really isn't all that helpful.
Also want to plug more time into Soul Sacrifice and then the Sonic Kart Racer + Trials clone later this month.
Damn it's nice to be a Vita gamer.
Hmmm is that a gameplay screen? It looks really blurry, even keeping in mind image compression. If it's a video, maybe it's just bad video compression :/

I'm going to buy all the Arc the Lad games next year, unless I get a PSN card for Christmas.Now Arc the Lad 3 and Arc Arena are PSV compatible and on sale on the store.
Happy to see another few games added to PS Vita. Wish Sony would do more sales for first party PSP games. Would like to buy Secret Agent Clank and play it on Vita... would buy R&C: Size Matters too, but the hassle of needing to transfer really kills my impulse to re-buy a game. It'd be less of a hassle to just get the UMD and play on PSP.
Sony need to short that ish out.
thats from my vita screenshot, it's only blurry because of it's been upsized when i uploaded it. The game looks fine on the Vita to me. There is some slight blurry-ness on the main character model for some reason while the rest of the resolution on other characters and the background is very good so that's probably what you're seeing.Originally Posted by VanWinkle

Flying Hamster HDDoes anyone have shmup recommendations? Of course I've played Sine Mora since that was a PSN+ freebie and Velocity too, I've also got the PS1 games Gaia Seed and Sonic Wings on the system but what else is there? I'm no bullet hell fan but it looks like most shmups are bullet hell.
Strikers 1945 Plus (PSP)
The Red Star (PSP) isn't exactly a shmup, but it has sections that are reminiscent of one.
Other PSP titles like Gradius Collection might work for you as well.
Unfortunately SCEA/IREM dropped the ball and none of the R-Type games work.
There doesn't seem to be any atlus games on sale for NA at least according to the blog post.Looks like the ps blog doesn't have the store update post yet. I can't get to my vita right now. What are some of the Atlus games on sale worth looking into? I want to start to build up my jrpg collection on Vita (psp and psone classics included of course).
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/...re-update-322/
Where was it announced that Atlus games would be on sale?
I think it was last week: Odin Sphere, Stella Deus (both PS2) and a bunch of other PS3 and Vita Atlus' games were discounted.There doesn't seem to be any atlus games on sale for NA at least according to the blog post.

Just be patient. It's bound to go on some sale sometime this month since they're going to be doing all these Holidays dealsUgh I want a Spelunky deal for NA so bad, especially since the PSN versions just got daily challenges. So much more suited for Vita than playing it on PC.
Blog post says it's a price change.Originally Posted by The Grim Heaper
CHO ANIKI IS ON SALE
$5.99.
It's a Vita compatible PSP game that seems to be a shmup? I take it you recommend it?
Wrong. :)I dont feel like swapping my PS3/PS4 cables lol...can someone confirm that if I buy Rainbow Moon on the Vita,I will automatically get it on the PS3...? since it supports cross saves I guess yes...?
There's a Vita version, a combo PS3/Vita version, and a "I have the PS3 version, give me the Vita version for cheaper than normal" version.
Rainbow Moon
$11.99 PS+
$14.99
Rainbow Moon Cross-Save Bundle
$17.99 PS+
$22.49
Rainbow Moon PS3 Player Special Offer
$5.99 PS+
$7.49
It depends on which one you buy. There's one in which you get both the PS3 and Vita versions, one for only the Vita version, and a discounted Vita version if you already own the PS3 version.I dont feel like swapping my PS3/PS4 cables lol...can someone confirm that if I buy Rainbow Moon on the Vita,I will automatically get it on the PS3...? since it supports cross saves I guess yes...?
Cho Aniki Zero PSP/Vita is now $5.99. Cool if you want a horizontal shooter and a game with an options menu that has a slider for "man juice"
My direct connect was choppy from my bedroom so I forced the PS4 to not allow direct connections and it's much much better over WiFi now.Direct connect or over wifi?
Killer feature for me.
EDIT: Also took my Vita to my girlfriend's parents house this weekend and played PS4 via Remote Play for a half hour or so. Assassin's Creed 4, zero hiccups at all. Worked as well as it does over my home WiFi. (For reference: I was about 40 miles from home. 50Mbps down & 25Mbps up at home on the PS4 via Ethernet cable, and ~30Mbps down at gf's parents' house over WiFi)
It's NOT cross-buy. Sorry.Picked up Terraria for the holiday sale price in the hopes that it will be cross buy when it eventually comes out. If not I got a great price on a game that I probably won't get around to in the next 6 months.
Do you even have to ask? ;)Direct connect or over wifi?
If it's working flawlessly, it's most likely direct connect. Though based on the post above mine, who knows. Connecting to the PS4 directly means that you're basically making your PS4 an ad-hoc router for your Vita, so maybe that connection was being interfered with in ways that his wifi connection circumvented.
I'm also guessing his PS4 is (properly) hooked up via cat5 ethernet cable.
I don't think those results will be so good, but if they are, let us know. :)Originally Posted by SmokyDave
I think direct connect. I wasn't really paying attention when I fired it up. The PS4 is in the room directly beneath me so it wouldn't surprise me.
Next stop is testing it at work tomorrow.
