PlayStation Network Thread (Vita/PS3/PS4) | March 2014

Dynasty Warriors reviews are worthless. Most reviewers don't take the time to notice the changes or additions. Dynasty Warriors 8 is great and is the best installment in the franchise since the PS2 days.

Jim Sterling is the only guy you can trust with Warriors series reviews.
 
Really, people. Is it necessary to be a bunch of passive-aggressive jerks in this thread? I mean, I try to add something and remain a part of the community here, despite my beloved weekly threads being gone. But I don't need this kind of nonsense.

Don't take this the wrong way.
I like that you post the stuff you do. Sometimes it helps me find out about releases I wasn't aware of -- like Blazblue.

But if you don't want to deal with the passive-aggressive shit, why do you feel the need to state whether you are or are not interested in a game?

It's happening.

It's not but at least he acknowledged it.

What's happening?

I thought for /sure/ that Vita TV would fix the one-account issue now that the "handhelds are for one person" thing was out the window. I'd love to have a single account again, please please.

Because I wrote the list. I am pretty up front about what I'm interested in. I'm willing to draw a distinction between making a list of games stating my level of interest and someone else quoting the list and making a sidelong comments about the author. Those are quite different.

And if every interaction I have with someone is of that type, then, frankly, I'm not going to cut them much social slack.

We were a pretty insular group in the weekly PSN threads, but we were also wide open for new folks. In these threads? Not so much.

Don't listen to this guy. Shadowfall is by far the best next-gen shooter. The multiplayer is incredible and the single player is enjoyable.

If multiplayer was that good I'd argue there would be more people playing it... Can't talk about the campaign since a nasty bug (falling off through the world) stopped me from progressing past 2nd chapter. Really left a bad impression overall on the title for me..

Yeah, I know you wrote the list. :p
I'm just saying that if I wrote the list and didn't want to deal with people giving me guff about it in some way, shape, or form, I wouldn't include my opinions. I'd simply write the list to inform people about the releases for the week...

Now if you want to comment on it because you wrote it, that's cool, I'm just trying to point out that it's kind of extraneous to the point of the list and what could be the trigger of people being dicks. That's all. :)

Sure. But I don't think we should be so accommodating of people being jerks for what are fairly standard social practices around here. After all, haven't we all written up lists of games we prefer/don't prefer? And don't the Terms of Service clearly say to address the commentary, not the person? Pretty sure we're dancing around the real problem, which is a lack of comity.

Edit: Moreover, the criticism was that I included Metacritic data, not my own opinions. So it's even more criticism of the person (for how it was written and what sources were included) than the opinion, no?
 
Any hope forResident evil and fallout for vita at E3?

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

Hey man, free country and all that. :)
I just caught that apparently you were taking flack for putting in your opinions and basing your interest on metacritic scores.

I know I don't have a "popular" opinion on a lot of games and when I vocalize it, I'm prepared for the fallout. I'm not saying you should have been targeted for posting your interests, merely stating that it kind of comes with the territory of vocalizing your opinions. :)

Made an agreement with another GAF member, refused to honor it because he was broke, but then had no problem continuing to buy video games.
I kinda sorta want that Conception II game

Only through Remote Play, and PlayStation Now will your dreams come true.

*remembers the past 2 E3 *

Welp Gamescom it is....




That's what you call an unrealistic expectation.

Seriously how can they deprive us of a MMO on a handheld :(

Hopefully Sony Bend will have something dope. Gravity Rush 2 and Uncharted I think.

you guys couldnt be any more wrong, DW7 and 8 are probably some of the best dynasty warriors since dw3, hell just check jim sterling's reviews of the game, also Renbu was 6 and 6 is considered the worst DW. Also for some posts above, using metacritic for dynasty warriors is bad since reviewers go with the "LOL its the same, nothing new," when there are other games that dont change yet get better reviews. and no its not press Square to win as thats only easy mode :/
and here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDbb6OOSh7o this explains the whole issue that people have with reviewers on the dynasty warriors series
and here is a review for dw8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvDF-Hf-G18

I don't disagree. Lol, not sure why you quoted me. I never played DW7 but I agree DW8 is amazing. Grace Chen better not be late with the update on Tuesday or I will rage. Buying DW8XL Complete Edition for PS4 and hoping the save file transfer is easy.

Jim Sterling is the only guy you can trust with Warriors series reviews.

Yup, seems to be one of the few reviewers who know the ins and outs of each game.

Freedom Wars looks really cool, I want it. Hope the 8 player coop makes the whole experience more chaotic and crazy. Don't have high hopes for the PvP but the Vita could need a good new PvP game.


Regarding the thread drama, people will always comment snarky when you say something against stuff they like, that's not something I would hold against this thread.
I would also say that we are pretty welcoming of new posters here, it is just that most of the people here only care about the Vita, so other discussions aren't really a priority. This clearly hurts the other news like the weekly updates but we all know who decided to do it this way.
In fact, the Vitagaf community is my favorite here and the main reason I signed up. With every wave of juniors we have people saying the same, so it can't be that bad.
 
Vita-GAF, Nyko Power Grip or the official portable charger? I do not really care about grips. I only want the power, but the portable charger costs nearly twice more.

You've gotta realize this is a Vita thread, not a PSN thread (regardless of the fraudulent thread title). I don't usually post much in here for pretty much the reasons you pointed out, but usually lurk to see if any new content is coming to PS4/Vita.

It's a shame we can't have weekly PSN threads for those who don't wanna dig through pages to find news. Doesn't make much sense to me but then again I'm not a mod so I don't know the exact reasons for the changes.
 
Vita-GAF, Nyko Power Grip or the official portable charger? Grips are nice but not important. I only want the power, but the portable charger costs nearly twice more. If they add roughly the same power might as well get the grips.

I always switches around between Toto and Takao :(

Anyways............................................... still can't decideee between Luftrausers or Steamworld Digggggggg.

Or maybe I should just keep the 10 bucks.

Currently playing: Danganronpa, FFX/FFX-2 Vita.

See this is why our answer will always be 'both'. Just go grab $20 PSN code and get them both, there problem solved. I'm sure you can go a week without bananas.

It's roughly the same, albeit the travel holds a full charge and a bit more. If you don't intend to travel with it then get the nyko

I would go with Nyko power grip but I don't have it so I can't say anything - it has two things in one and eliminates wire.

And actually portable charger costs less at Amazon.

No go for online shopping right now.

And I forgot about the messy wires. Hmm... still need to decide on the hours they add.
