3rd Birthday is a fun action/shooter RPG, it's well worth playing. Not for the story, though.

Yep, it's not a terrible game like a lot of people want you to believe. It's got some really great mechanics, just ignore the story. Playing it on Vita, I imagine, is probably better. The control on the PSP was awful.

I'll play it after I switch over to my US account. I suddenly feel like playing Parasite Eve 1 and 2 first. Wanted to buy them on EU, but since PE1 wasn't available in EU, I'll need to but it from the US store at some point.

Look quite good for a PSP game

If she bothers you that much, just block ha. Otherwise, stop adding more fuel to this hostile meta-discussion about her posting style.

Immature brats all around.

Thanks for reminding me to block you too.

Now people just need to stop quoting both of you.

WRONG.

Story is ass. Square shitting on their one good female character is bullshit. DNA board is useless outside of upgrading and since the DNA board items are randomized half the time you're fucking yourself over with the three DNA boards. Leveling up has no point so I dunno why they included it.

A bunch of really really questionable design decisions but
them killing Aya
is the shot that killed my love for Square. Fuck them, never again will I ask for a sequel to a series I love.

Technically it's not a sequel.

:lol

I desperately need at least a 64GB card. This is getting...worrisome.

(All games are digital except for P4G, and this doesn't include deleted trash like BlazBlue which had no right to be over 3GB. P3Poopable is next...)


A micromanagement nightmare.

Bonus P4G shots! The game is very nice to look at despite the basic geometry and plain, low-res textures. Tons of charm (which would've been totally sapped away if all the environments and characters were replaced with static 2D images like another game I know).

^ yay more screenshots, very nice collection!

Based on that video, it looks and sounds outdated. None of what that shows appeals to me whatsoever, and redoing stages over and over to get a 'perfect run' is not something I will remotely enjoy. I might not even bother downloading it.

If a big fan of it describes it as frustrating but rewarding, then I can safely assume it's not a game for me. Not to mention the negative opinions it's gotten in this topic.

That's fair, not everyone is up for a platforming challenge. Doesn't make it a bad game at all though. A lot of gamers appreciate that sort of a physical/timing challenge. Just like I don't like point-to-click or most RPGs anymore, I'm more open minded in realising that others like them and it is a (very) good game in the genre (not really one for JSR so just for what it does). It's similar to this imo: "Lol, chess sucks, where's the slingshot and the birds."

I didn't like uncharted 1 or 2 either... I really don't see much reason to give it another go. The series and me just don't click... In general I am not a fan of third person shooters though.

Ah okay, understandable then - If you try it again it might be worth possibly lowering the difficulty and tweaking the controls to your liking (aiming and shooting) as it's really well done.

Ya it really sucks. I wanted to start another Uncharted playthrough but that essentially means deleting every other game except a 200-300mber.

I'm on 32 and I want to play uncharted again as well but can't for the same reason lol. Too many good titles available. FWP.

Nice screens, Monosukoi.

heckmanimation - If framerate bugs you, don't touch modnation (especially if you want to try out the cool community levels). S&S is the better game but isn't perfect with its framerate either. - just saw OmegaTreeFish's post about MN:RT, I'd agree.

Grats, WiiRevolution1! - Lyphen knows what he's talking about about tweaking controls and using the gyro.

Oh that was rather smart actually. The sentence still sounded a bit mean though in context of talking about a person ;)

Yeah I didn't get it until I re-read it either hah, nice Carl. SW is awesome - just about to get back to it finally.

Maxwood - LBP is gameception. Must have imo - check out Plastic White

Nice about the free soundshapes instruments... I really want offline saving so that the game is complete and we can access the community levels whenever - it would be perfect then. :( Been saying it for months I know..

Technically, yes. But the way they characterized Aya for the sake of
Eve being cool like her "sister!"
is just ugh.

The one good thing it has going for it is the shooting mechanics are solid as is the "Overdive" system. If they made the game all about that (and made it logical instead of "time-machine that allows it!") it would've been okay, but that can't save the game alone for me.
 
That whole opinions saying really works up in here sometimes, doesn't it?
Really makes me wish Chrome would let me update and reuse my "Monkey List". :\

Liking Dokuro, mostly.
LBP has been good from what I played.

Curious as to why EU PS+ people think they're getting 4 new games in January. I'd be surprised to see more than 2.

16. Januar – Jet Set Radio (PS Vita)
23. Januar – Pinball Arcade (PS Vita)

that's the PS+ Vita stuff for Germany in January (should be whole Europe)

I wonder how much more well recieved Square would have been this gen if they had not let Toriyama near their projects? I anticipate not liking it that much, but I've already bought it so I have to play it

Yeah, looks right.
For once, I'm not jealous of EU.
We already have JSR on Vita (and I have no nostalgia for it, so I'm not really enjoying it), and I have Zen Pinball 2 and some tables, so I don't think I'd care about Pinball Arcade either.
Looking at the PS3 content, US already has Bioshock 2 (which I already owned) and I already own Mortal Kombat. What would be really bad is if the PS3 download of MK isn't GOTY with all the DLC... anyway, hope you EU people like it, but it's nice to not be jealous for a month.

Dumbass question time.

Is there a way to refresh the store without having to turn the Vita off?

If I go back into the store after being in it, I don't get the updates. I have to turn the unit off the go back to the store before I see the Wednesday updates.

too bad that we in Germany and Austria don't get MK9 on PS3, instead we get "Gotham City Imposters"

Go to the live area page and close the store fully (drag the page from top right to bottom left) then relaunch.

Did someone say random screenshots?
They really don't do the games justice, but oh well.

I was a huge fan of PE1 and somewhat of 2 and the harm that they did to Aya's character was lessened by the fact that the story started out complete shite and seemed like FanFiction.

The actual playing of the game was great fun for me and on the Vita I imagine it would be even better.

Sheesh, how many games do you guys all need at one time on your device?

I have 30 games actually installed on my Vita, and I still have 13GB free of my 32GB card. I don't actually have enough time to play all of them, and usually just stick to playing 2 or 3 of the 30 at any given time.

Once I complete some of them, they are going to be deleted, to make room for the other games. I basically prioritized which games are favorites (ie, never leaving my system; ie, PlayStation All Stars, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Monster Hunter FU, etc), and the other 25 titles are completely expendable as far as cycling out goes.

Overall, 32GB is more than enough for me at the moment.

Hasn't been a change in content for about 2 hours, so i'd say it's done updating :p



Awesome, i've been blocked :D

Actually, I've blocked Toto and Leona... when I posted I was thinking about Toto... but oh well... now that I've read it, it wasn't very clear.

This is what plus does to people, or atleast to me; looking forward to a game I probably dont even like! :D

Same here. Lots of PSP and PS one games are taking up almost all of the space. I'd be pretty likely to buy a 64 if/when one is released.
