SS really did an interesting twist on it. Trashmobs are fuel for your spells and killing them properly gives you a good performance rating. You WANT them to be around for bossfights.

Well, I won't go as far as saying "i WANT them to be around for bossfights" sometimes I've died because a fucking spider throw my a web from a camera dead angle in the worst posible moment.

But yep, they're a necesary annoyance.

Freedom Wars is almost guaranteed. Not sure about Natural Doctrine though.

It's on PS4. Sony needs to feel those voids, so I think it has a fairly good chance of getting localized.

Why does he do this to us? :\ At least we know it wasn't Mind Zero. Do we have any events coming in a month that it could be announced at?

I've learned to just ignore his tweets. He can tease everything he wants, but last time I've believed in him I got fucking Football Manager. And he isn't going to say anything, it doesn't matter if we make a fuss. He has probably signed a NDA.

Any Vitagaffers want to play payday 2 when it's on plus?

I think it was already released on EU PS+ a while ago, I may give the game a try if I have some people to play with :)

Hell yea!! I put quite a good bit of time into PD2 when it was released, but I stopped playing when GTAV came out. I was tired of lack of support to the console version, and then an update made it worse. Cash payouts were weak as hell, some of the levels felt very lacking, in creativity,and in design. The heists themselves were mediocre compared to what PD1 was. Actually, I dislike several things PD2 does that PD1 does so well, but the game is still reaalllllllllly fun, especially with people you "know" at least. The guns tho...my lord those guns in PD2 sound so glorious...

Despite my problems I have with PD2, I still really like the game, and am glad I gave them my monies when it was released. So yea, I would be down for some heists when PD2 is released to the masses!! Heck, I may even jump back in sooner than later to see if any of my issues have been resolved...

Oh yes, those trashmobs could be the reason for a wipe in SS. If not stunned by a spider some fat cats could do some damage to your plans when they start to vacuum the whole place like mad :)


Regarding Shahid, I feel like I am the only one who still likes him. People expect to see the results from his hype tweets to early.
I think he does an awesome job getting content on the Vita considering how bad the Vita sells.

Hope Football Manager hits soon. Have already been waiting months for it and we don't even have a release date ir any other info :(
 
The Vita 2k reveal was really disappointing. 180£ is ridiculous for an inferior device

It's not inferior. Screen aside it's a huge upgrade, and there are people that actually prefer the more natural colors of the LCD.

Also the price is the same as the old model.

He does a good job, I won't ever deny that, but he seems like a really pasionate guy, and teasing things the way he does + gamers tendency to get excited over the tiniest clue / sign / rumor is not a good combination.

The problem is exactly that. He often tweets too early. I don't want him to say: "look! I have something awesome but i'm not giving the tiniest clue in 3 months!". I'm okay if he has signed a game, i'll love him if he gives me some awesome JRPGs, but there is a limit in the amount of awesome / incredible / amazing / I fainted you can use before people get over the roof and start predicting ridiculous stuff.

I want to be a 90 years old healthy grand pa which will pass his time on a house in the countryside, sitting in a chair and looking at a beatiful dawn. Overhyping things won't help me reaching that purpose lol

I like that you only allow vitagaffers to play a ps3 game with you
Between the better form factor and at least +50% battery life increase. Since the screen the the only negative, I don't think most people will classify it as inferior.

I assume he saw my post about Payday needing tons of communication. And I assume he meant to use the Vitas party chat system from the beginning. Which would certainly limit the scope of people he's able to play with to GAF members with Vitas. There still some sort of problem?
 
Damn Fifa 14 is too realistic. The whole evening I have smooth matches until I play an Italian. It's lagging like hell out of nowhere after the first 30 minutes are over and suddenly there is a disconnect at 1:1. What happens? Fucking game gives me a 0:3 default loss. >:|
After a unlucky 2:2 draw against one of the Ibrakadabra kiddies a really bad start into the new division I just relegated into.

loving me some fifa 14, but got damn I swear I get 2 headers a game scored on me...
 
Was all setup to get a new 2000 slim Vita, until the announcement. Pricing is a joke, picked up an extra 1000 from shopto for £140 instead; with 16GB card, starter pack and 10 game download. That should keep me going to get through my back log.

Quick Q if both Vitas are on and linked to same account can I ad hoc multiplayer on games without purchasing second copy of said game?
 
Some news from the dustloop forums translation of patch notes and news for Blazblue

- No cross play with PS3 and Vita versions Online Lobbies ...But Ranked/Player Matches do work
- DLC characters available on Vita version from the start
All chars will be available in arcade, but Terumi and Kokonoe will still be DLC for Vita (and for PS3 after patch). DLC is shared between Vita and PS3 versions.
-The game will be available for play at the Japan Amusement Expo (2/15/2014).
All DLC colors are also being added to arcade with the patch.
 
I'm down for some PAYDAY 2 as well!

I'd like to know this too. Might be the only way I'll ever get the orgarhythm plat because my IRL friends either don't have the game or don't care about the Vita.

Like you said, he is a really passionate guy and hyped himself when he can sign a title so he kind of wants to shout it from the roof but isn't allowed. I can totally understand why he keeps on teasing like that, I couldn't keep my mouth shut myself.
I think people should just be more realistic about the timeframe in which things happen.

loving me some fifa 14, but got damn I swear I get 2 headers a game scored on me...

Yes, headers are totally overpowered, especially in combination with the high through ball to the wingers. I score most of my goals with headers too and right now I don't even play with a good striker for that strategy.

The game is fun like each year but once again they have a cookie cutter playstyle which is kind of boring. I get that the headers got stronger because they were too bad before but this is just too much.
Scoring outside of the box also got too good, 1on1 against keepers on the other hand got nerfed too much.


Just got promoted to division 7, missed the title because of that stupid unfair disconnect default loss :/
The games are really getting intense now with better contrahents.

Awesome news. Crossplay was the only thing that I really wanted. I hope at least Terumi is given with preorders just like the PS3 version.
 
Poster this in another thread, but I figured I could get some help here

Don't have my PS3 with me currently, but if I don't do anything with the PS Plus games while their free do they leave my IGC?

if so,

What can I do to redeem them if I don't have my console with me?

I should know this by now, but I'm confused because Urban Trials Freestyle recently left my IGC list for Vita.

Also, I can't seem to sign in on Sony Entertainment Network website, I click the Sign In button and the log in window flashes and goes away immediately. When the log in window does work, I enter my email and password, but it doesn't log me in.
 
I have Payday2 on the PC and it's a blast to play. It's a very tactical L4D type game.

PS3 controls are bad and the graphics are TURRIBLE on consoles. :( I'm generally not a graphics whore, but good god the doorknob textures after the PC version!

"Buy" the free games through the web store so they stay tied to your account even after they leave the monthly lineup.
 
This game is supposed to be terrible though.

Why on earth is crap like this being localised and we still don't have any word on stuff like God Eater 2 or Freedom Wars? Crazy.

Because Aksys can't localize those games.

I completely forgot about God Eater 2 in relation to that Bandai Namco release list. I guess it isn't being localized on Vita.

Never said they could :p

It's just odd to see these really low budget and frankly poorly performing or incredibly niche Vita games like Mind Zero and Conception localised when games like God Eater 2 aren't being localised even after performing really well in Japan.

Avoid anything above division 3/4, mechanics get exploited to hell and back.
 
Praying i forgot to pack my vita on this trip... The airline lost my bag...

Luckily a. Im 100% digital, b. the airline said i can make a claim. ( here i come 64gb and then some!)

I wanted to love PD 2 so bad, but that terribly repetitive music and the ps2 textures (as well as the stealth mechanics) just turned me off to the whole thing unfortunately.
