Unrealistic? You realize this is GAF, right? I bet if you did a poll, you'd find that people who support one company forever are few and far between.

You don't see people in the Nintendo Downloads thread getting all up their own asses when someone says to buy the PSN version of Zen Pinball instead of the 3DS version. That's special for this thread. This conversation really shouldn't be happening.

Does everything from you have to be some sort of insult?
 
Question 1: did you know there's a $2 chip that you can use so an AT&T-locked 3G Vita works with any SIM card? My mind was blown!

Question 2: can you play Spelunky and Rayman Legends online with 3G? Talking about simple stuff, leaderboards and online daily challenges.

Serious? Tell us where to find this!
 
I'm pretty certain they'll announce the Vita 2k coming to the west tomorrow but some naive part of my brain keeps hoping it's something way more exciting.
 
Turn off notifications. Seems to fix crashing issues. Worked for me and I haven't had it crash once since I did it.

Thanks, I'll try this... I tried the usual recommendation of "turn your vita to flight mode" and it didn't work.

I'll report back in case there's anyone else experiencing these issues.
 
Argh, they removed Gunslugs? Wanted to buy it but waited if they have forgot about a possible PS+ discount like they often do (yes, I am a cheap bastard).

Was set to play it NOW and it is gone. Has Sony commented on why it got removed? I just hate it when they keep quiet. Say it was bugged or released to early and I'll understand, just give me a reason.
 
Totally the wrong thread, but does anyone else have an issue of pressing the "share" button and the last 15 minutes of gameplay don't include the most recent 5/10 minutes, even though it shows it in the thumbnail ?

It's not the wrong thread. This is for all PlayStation hardware. With a slight extremely heavy slant in the Vita direction.

That's a known issue that will be patched. There's no known fix.
 
I played it too. A lot. It is not remotely as bad as people say. $40 is an ok price for it, though for a "flash sale" it really ought to have been $30.

It's not really amazing as well, it's a game to fill in the gap of the launch line-up. I doubt many will be singing it's praises from a year on from now.

I would have just waited until it was free on PS+

First-party or not, I can't imagine Knack getting the the PS+ treatment given its average Metacritic score. I think it'd be a shame, since while I agree it isn't amazing, it's definitely worth playing through (esp. on Hard if you enjoy a challenge) and shows a lot of promise on certain mechanics if Sony decides to greenlight a sequel down the road.

I suppose there's an argument to be made that Knack will get "plussed" simply because of the small PS4 library and the expectation that Plus offerings include some representation from AAA titles, but I actually think that PS+ for the PS4 from launch and through 2014 will be dominated by quality indies, something I am totally fine with.
 
Nearly finished all amateur challenges on OlliOlli, progressing well in DBZ and just downloading the toukiden demo now. Should be able to hold off more until Dustforce and TxK.

Roto is mad that the vita is turning him, dark.
 
Thanks to 3rdamention...

Turning notifications off seems to have solved the crashing issue in Olliolli. I might try turning the wifi connection back on and leave the notifications off to see if that works.

Just played this game for a good half an hour and progressed through a number of levels. Previously, I couldn't get past the level I was on without getting the error.

Very happy :)
 
He suggested that VitaGAF gets mad when people recommend non-vita versions of games when there are issues with the vita ports :S (and that you're a crazy fanboy if you don't have multiple consoles each gen).

Maybe they accidentally released it early? Giant Bomb doesn't have it out in North America until the 11th, so maybe they put up the page a little early. I think Basement Crawl had the same thing happen (though in Europe's case, that really was supposed to come out).
 
Just realized that they have added Dissidia and Dissidia 012 to (almost?) all EU regions. I guess it was with the Final Fantasy deals, as it wasn't on the Bulgarian store last time I checked.
Now, from what I remember, in one of the blog posts' comments, they've said that Dissidia/012 wont be available as a Plus freebie, because it's not available in all countries. Question is, how safe is to double dip on Duodecim, as I already have the UMD for my PSP? What's the chance of a Dissidia game being a EU freebie in the coming months?

Expecting people in a thread for PSP/Vita/PS3/PS4 to own a Wii or WiiU is also kind of crazy. When someone asks about a game in here, it's probably in reference to one of those platforms, right? Especially when there's an imminent sale on said game. So taking all that into account, when someone asks "how is this version of <game>?" replying with "buy it on a console not relevant to this thread." is not a helpful answer. Even more so when that type of post is a reply to someone being helpful and answering the question.

It's all in how it's worded and the attitude conveyed.

As an alternative example, Suppa conveyed a similar sentiment as a note in a helpful answer explaining that the ports of Square SNES games do no perform well on PSX and in emulation and it would be best to avoid those, seeking out another platform if you truly wished to play them.

Context, people. It's important!
 
I think the 1.7 gb limit on the UMD is the one at fault.

Tecmo Koei is actually one of the few publishers that made multi-UMD PSP games.

where's gunslugs vita on the ps store? I swear it was up a few hours ago. Or maybe I'm going crazy.

Here's a video in Portuguese. Search "Universal No Cut Cell Phone Mobilephone Sim Unlock Card" on eBay for the actual product.

It's slightly surprising that no one found out about this before now.
 
Another game cleared out of my backlog. If DMC is supposed to be a bad Devil May Cry game, I really need to play one of the older ones at some point.
 
Dynasty Warriors Next is brilliant. Just played through a couple of the campaign missions and it's left a big smile on my face.
 
How is the player base for the PS4 version of Injustice? I was thinking about getting it while it was on sale, but I was thinking it might not be that active just because it's a smaller community.

I was sorta considering getting it on PS3 while it's on sale, and just doing the $10 upgrade so I have both just in case PS4 is not as active.

People still think that this is something Sony will honor?

PS4 playerbase is VERY tiny. Netcode is better than it was on ps3/360 but it's still not great.
 
If anyone has taken advantage of the Amazon extra $20 psn digital credit trade in promo they just pricematched Injustice Vita digital download for $20.99. I just picked it up for 99 cents and downloading now.
 
Anyone feeling a little tinge of bliss with FF1 to FF9 and Tactics, all on your Vita? My FF life will be complete with FF X in March!

my vita is nothing but a ff (and MGS) machine at this point

I understand that at the end of the day it's only really a positive talking point for their marketing of Plus and not some sort of ironclad position on the service, but it certainly hurts the narrative that they've cultivated if they either abandon that stance or show that the bar that they've set doesn't necessarily apply to their own in-house titles. It would also be hailed by critics of Sony's paywalling of MP behind Plus that they were right in forecasting a significant dithering of quality from future PS+ titles now that PS4 owners are essentially "forced" to subscribe to the service to get the most out of the system and its games. I don't really buy into that last point as I feel the service has been excellent given that we're technically still in the launch window of the system, but I still think that it would be odd for Sony to offer Knack as a PS+ title this year. Maybe during the holidays when you once again have parents thinking about getting a PS4 for their kids, but before then? I doubt it.
 
Can't believe we've gone over a month since the last PS4 firmware update. They must be really confident in the stability of the OS.

I hope the next update is something substantial with such the long wait.
 
Did you ever get Type-0 on your Vita from your UMD passport?

Also whats for lunch?

I did, but it's locked to my JP account. I really wish Sony would let you have two accounts at the same time on this thing.

I had coffee and a chocolate chip muffin for "lunch" earlier

Well, I forgot what, but I am positive some of the games they released for PS+ have betrayed that Metacritic standard already.
