Let me show you through these halls, my friend, where treasures of indie gaming await...
Btw, I think my Vita new years resolution is going to be 1 classic game (PS1 or PSP) per month, and doing a corresponding lets play thread. I think many people still have some work to do to play the older classics and otherwise people will never play or even finish them :p

Anyone with me? First titles will be Alundra and Wild Arms, rest is up for discussion.
 
Somewhere there is a rule that if you dont participate anything meaningful to a discussion, dont post. I think they reinforced that a while ago in one of the "LISTEN!" threads about how gaf is being run.

Fun fact, talking about this could get us banned too, since talking about bans is now bannable as well. Yay.

Yeah I can totally see why that got him in trouble, I never post like that. I didn't know talking about it can get you banned too though, damn.

Also that AKB1 game has trophies, and a platinum! So wish I could understand Japanese more so I could go after it haha, although I think the concept is kind of creepy. There was another game that just came out there with a platinum:

Sengoku Hime 3

I want to play both, am currently playing Alundra, so. :) After that I'll finally get into Wild Arms, although I really want to play through Arc the Lad as well.

If you're buying it today and today only Best Buy has the wifi version with a $50 gift card. The Bestbuy website has the COD bundle with the $50 gift card as well, pretty sure it doesn't ring up in stores but you can just have them match their own website.

And Amazon is still running all the Vitas with a free copy of Zero's Escape VLR. Or you can go with that warehouse Vita that was mentioned a couple posts above.

Oh wait. This sounds great. But is the Wifi version in storey $199 or $249? Because then it would be a no brainer to get the call of duty version, even though i dont want call of duty.

Nice :) Never played Arc the Lad either, so if we vote for another title to be played among those who like to participate (or here in the thread), that might come up as well. Looking forward to the Alundra lets play thread! Havent played that game in 12 years or something.

I've seen extremely mixed reviews on AC:L, but with it being on sale on PSN this weekend, I'm intrigued.

What's GAF's opinion?
I wouldn't support Ubisoft Sofia. I gathered too many 'collectibles' and it ruined my saved game. Even after a patch it wouldn't work.

Hmmm. Not bad. Thanks for the reply.

Course. I wish I could tell you what kind of condition to expect it to come in, but I actually haven't seen mine yet :S (had it sent to parents house so it wouldn't distract me during finals...yet to go home for xmas)

If anything, they should be supported BECAUSE they fixed the bug so it doesnt happen anymore.

If it wasn't for my already bulging backlog that at this rate will last me well into the new year I'd join you as they are both on my radar.

Yeah, I am actually doing this because of the backlog. So that I have a bit of motivation to get something done together with some others. If you plan on playing them anyway, join us! The chance of actually completing it is higher when talking about and experiencing it with others. The monthly structure should be a bit of a motivational boost too to play it more than just 5 minutes.

A pretty average game that doesn't really do anything great. It's a competent AC game and nothing really more than that.

ok a really dumb question but I have to know due to memoryspace.

I got Uncharted for free on PSNplus, but if I remove it can I download it again later, even if it;s not on PSplus anymore? I'll keep my subscription ofcourse.

Yes once you tag something you can always redownload it later.

Of course that is if you can actually find it. Never going to get sorted download lists -_-

I want sortable download lists (date, alphabetical, category) and the option to remove things like demos from the list to tidy it up a bit.
 
So I'm finishing up Uncharted.

Even tho I got AssCreed w/ the bundle, I'm going to hold off for a while since ACIII burnt me out a bit. I'm thinking my next game will be Persona 4(I've never played a Persona game before).

BUT, what are some good PSP(NOT PS1) RPGs on PSN I can download? I never owned a PSP.

Thought I read when PSN was updated a few months back that sorted download lists were on the agenda in a future update.

Now the worlds not ended perhaps Sony will get on it.

This list is a good start. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=464557
 
I'll do some classic games

I need to play to finish all three Spyro games

Edit: also all three resi games
Final fantasy V and VII
And some other misc ps1 ganes

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Finished Arc The Lad half a year ago, had a lot of fun with it. Starts out kinda grindy though, and it's really straightforward. No side-quests or exploring, it's more of a short intro to Arc The Lad 2. Well, I say short, but it still takes 15-20 hours.
Liked it though.
And that 50-layer dungeon was one heck of an experience, when you finally make it....
...
you have to go all the way back to be able to save. In other word, it's a 100lvl dungeon :lol:

Still need to finish James Pond 2, RE3, FFV, Crash 3 and uh.. That's it, for what I know. I'm sure i'm forgetting another game though :p

You guys already played Alundra and Wild Arms? Still looking for more people for my upcoming lets play ;)

Wait, the Lemmings version that is on the PS mobile is the same as the PSP one? I still have a copy of that unopened, hah.

Without the level editor and instead purchaseable level packs.

Yes, please! I've been wanting this forever. My download list is over 1000 items I think. :\ Makes it a bitch to find anything, especially when PS+ content moves every time you add time to your subscription.

You guys already played Alundra and Wild Arms? Still looking for more people for my upcoming lets play ;)

I'm probably in. :p
Can't promise work won't get in the way and make me lose the ability to keep up or that I won't wander off and play with something shiny, but I can try at least.

I'm quite intrested in Wild Arms, can't promise anything though. :)

I hope they add sortable download lists :(

All those theme's, DLC, Avatars, Wallpapers and video's...

ARGH.

If it was Wild Arms 2, I'd pospone Nocturne next month to do it. I already played and beat Wild Arms. Fun game, but I dunno if I'd rego through it.

yes,a good port to a good game.

I'd pay gold for a Folklore Vita port if SCE do it,just sayin.
Is this a thing or are you just wishful thinking? Because I want this thing, Folklore is amazing.

I bought Stranger, NFS, P4 and Sonic Transformed all within like 2 days, backlog be damned. Probably going to get Knytt over Xmas break too. Vita haz gaems.

We'll see what we'll do after Alundra and Wild Arms. Wild Arms 2 unfortunately wasnt as good as the first one though. But anyway, there are still quite a few other interesting PS1/PSP games to choose from. I think I'll make a list and let people of the Lets play thread vote on it to see which other games people might have an interest in playing for the "12 classics in 2013" Lets play threads.

I like the idea Toma, good excuse to start playing some old gems!

Finished Knytt Underground's first chapter. Enjoyed it very much, although i've still got the feeling I missed something. Lot's of places I haven't been and have no idea how to get there either.
Certainly a game best played calm, some nice visuals to. Platforming needs some getting used to but becomes quite fun, not very fond of the extreme sensetivity though.
In the second chapter you play as a ball and in the short time I played it, I didn't really like it. :(

Anyhow, screenshots!

How's the Vitabro community when it comes to Persona 4? I'm about to start it and might need to do that whole Near Rescue Call thing.

Its not near/friends list dependent. It will give a shout to everyone playing P4 atm. Dont worry, there are always a few who'll respond :)

I'm getting a 16GB card today. I have 2 backups: 1 was from prior to getting the digital P4G (I have a 4GB until today), and the 2nd one has the digital P4G. How can I get both data into my 16GB card without losing my P4G save?

Is copying P4G itself to PC, restoring the 1st backup into my 16GB, then copying P4G again from PC to Vita a good way?

I'm mostly worried about my 55 hour save file on P4G and I'm not done playing it. I also plan on using my 4GB for JP store demos.

Back up your apps that your want from each card *INDIVIDUALLY* (to PS3 or PC) then restore them one by one once your new card is in the Vita.

Or buy a PS+ sub and push your saves to the cloud, then you really don't have to worry about it.

I love it too, luckily the second chapter is shorter(i hate ball physics based games), first and second chapter are more like introductions to the third one that i consider the "real" game.

Normally I'm not an JRPG kind of guy, but I'm always willing to try something critically acclaimed.

So I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying Persona 4. Just an all-round really well made game. And the dub surprised me by how good it is. Great stuff.

I started playing Persona 4 at 9 last night and kept playing till I passed out asleep at like 2.

Luckily I didn't crush my Vita or knock it off the bed x_x

That SOS alarm is so damn annoying, I just quit using it because of that sound.
