Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | August 2013 | Divekicks & Dragons

:(



I don't have paypal. In fact, and this may come as a surprise, I don't even know how to set it up *shamed*



This may also come as a surprise, but I don't even have a credit card :P So Amazon is a no-no for me. Besides, I don't even think they can deliver stuff here.... I think.



It's for ZP2 DLCs.



Hmmmmmm.

Yep. Just try to get a debit card with the MC logo and you will be able to buy PSN credit from Amazon pretty easily and with no markup. There are also sites that sell PSN codes and accept Paypal, just in case you can pay that way.

Edit: Ayayay, top of the page.

Well, Spelunky's not my thing but you should definitely get it if only for all the praise it gets. Then, get EDF and save for Lone Survivor and Rayman Legends this month.

Edit 2: Is "Being part of VitaGaf" a valid reason to file for bankruptcy? 'cause man, all these games..

Amazon sells PSN cards and it's Digital Delivery!

So it's ok but you gotta work out your cards (debit cards work too!)
 
Anyone willing to offer some P4G strategies for
Hardcore Risette Fan
? I
just beat Shadow Teddie, I'm at Level 37 on Normal difficulty. I used the L-trigger and got eight different quotes from her during the battle. This is what I need to do, right? I know you cannot over-level because you'll never heard the "strong shadow" messages, but I don't know if I'm actually too strong for this point in the game, and I don't know if the scanning messages actually count toward the trophy.
 
You can adjust the jiggle settings in DOA5+.

Need I say more?

Are up-and-down jiggle and side-to-side jiggle separate settings? Somehow this is important to me.

Actually, it would take a lot for me to bite on an action game. I'm even wary of Tokyo Jungle because it's listed as action.

Scanning counts. Teammates dying counts, weakness phrases counts. I'm pretty sure that anything that has dialogue whilst in battle mode counts.

Only messages with the speech bubble in the upper left count, I believe.
Just switch up your party a lot, don't level her SLink too fast, and go back and do the optional dungeons. I got it before I even finished the November dungeon, I think.

Not so much.

Not on the first part.

Internet says "Navigation lines look like this:" (party member spoilers)

You don't get that on an L-scan.
That said, I did L-scan everything.
But I also caused every ailment to every party member I could, let bosses do special attacks, caused each character to hit 1-2-3-4-5 with weakness/each character to kill 1-2-3-4, etc.
 
So... I've been hearing about framerate problems in Spelunky? Anyone buying this can corroborate?

I got it on some undead jungle level. The framerate was definitely taking a hit but it was not as bad as I expected after hearing other people complain about it. Hopefully it gets sorted out. In 3+ hours of playing today, I only saw it in that one level.
 
Let's see....

Dead or Alive 5+, Muramasa Rebirth, NFS Most Wanted, Soul Sacrifice, Persona 4 Golden.........

That's it. I am not gonna buy another game unless it is in discount/in sale.

Maybe you should apply for the #yolovita spokesman position? ;D



That radar is just crazy! but never played an EDF game before so i dont know what to expect, guess I need to check some reviews...
 
Also, just want to say all of you folks living in the US is so goddamn lucky. For instance, I have no way to buy PSN games digitally in my Vita without purchasing PSN pre-paid cards, and lately the economy is getting kind of rough with price increases everywhere that in order to get a 50 bucks worth of PSN code I need to pay around 57 bucks :(

This is the reason why my purchase on Guaccamelee and Mutant at Blob Attack should worth it since I bough $10 pre-paid card $15. Good things Mutant Blob Attack already give $10 worth of entertainment so the butthurt don't hurt as much. This situation is particulary bad for me since we have crazy game sales (dat Tokyo Jungle price), and my PS+ subcription expires on this month :(
Man, I hope the dollar rate become normal before the sales i sover but that is impossible.
 
One more quick P4G question:

Is there any S-Link you MUST have maxed to get the true ending?

Thanks for the help, everyone.

IIRC,
no. It depends on whether you visit the Velvet Room or the tv on the very last day. Marie's is completely optional if you want to get extra scenes and a dungeon.

Oh, and hello, there! Newbie here!

Welcome to GAF! Hope you enjoy your stay here among VitaBros.
 
I was seriously considering getting a vita, since I just subscrived a ps+ account and the recent price drop, but I have some doubts I need to clarify first, hope someone here can help me!

First, should I get a 3g version or the wi-fi version is fine? Also, if I decide to buy the 3g version on the uk amazon could there be any issue using it in another country?

3g is useless, I believe.
Well, most people think it tis.

Vita is region free. You can buy any Vita you want and use whatever region PSN account you want. The only gating factor is that you cannot have more than 1 PSN account active on a Vita at one time and the account is tied to your memory card.

3G adds GPS and obviously 3g modem only - but it can't be used to play games only for browsing net, shop, social stuff, sunchronizing trophies etc..

So wi-fi is fine.

Japan or USA has sim-lock for 3G modem. EU i'm 99% sure doesn't have restriction.

Yeah, seems like only the undead variants of the jungle levels (ie: not common) take a bit of a hit. Everything else seems totally fine. It's far from gamebreaking or anything.

I'm sure they'll throw a patch out for it sometime soon.

Ok perfect thanks, I guess I'll treat myself to a good wi-fi vita and some p4 golden.
 
The hell is wrong with whoever did the touch interface with Machinarium? It isn't touch where you want but rather I have to drag a cursor with my finger. like what da fuck.

At least the button controls work well.

You said before that you don't have anyone in your Friend List playing this game? Well considering that I am planning to buy this, at least you now have one :)

It's good that the framerate issues are not as severe as people say it is. I mean, I hear the game is difficult enough without framerate issues make it even harder.

Maybe you should apply for the #yolovita spokesman position? ;D

It's painful man :((

But I am intending to be strong and don't buy anything anymore that don't have sliced prices... though in all probability my will to resist will collapse in face of games like Ys or FFX remake... God I am hopeless :(((

I plan to add another 50 to my wallet tonight, bringing a total to around 58. For this amount I *need* to be veeeery picky since I don't plan of buying anything again soon.

Soooo............ hopefully Spelunky is something that I will not regret buying. I am counting on the truthiness of VitaGAF here! Hahahaha.

I actually enjoy that touch interface :P I think they went that way for two reasons:

- They wanted to have something consistent across input methods (touchscreen, back touch panel and analog sticks).
- Targets are sometimes very small and the cursor actually allows you to better explore and search for what you can interact with instead of using touch to guess.

I'm really having a great time with Machinarium. So much that I feel bad for having gotten the game via PS Plus. I wish the devs had some way to accept donations to give them the amount it costs on Vita.
 
I can understand why they felt they had to do it that way considering the MC's field of interaction but it just makes certain things like using items cumbersome.


Also let me disable back touch. Goddamn

I want to buy Sweet Fuse for my little sister but at the current price, I'm not buying pre-paid card below $50 value.
 
Someone's underestimating potential Square-Enix tax.

I'm thinking this as well. The games are just too cheap for the sheer amount of work they are putting into them.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of DLC for the PS3 version, with some of it already included in the Vita versions to justify the higher price (I expect they will cost more than the PS3 for the cartridge costs alone).
 
Hi folks!

I'll be joining the VitaGAF family soon (next week hopefully). So this is kinda like the Stream thread? General talk about Vita, its games and services? Cool. Hope to have a good time here. ;)

Cheers!

Welcome to the Brotherhood! Now go buy Patapon 1 and 2 and show it some love.
 
Why ? It is fair - those were super long masterpieces of PS1 era. They deserve to be sold for more money than average ps1 games.

The market has spoken that it's willing to pay the price considering how they routinely stay atop the psn ps1 charts

Maybe. To each their own though, considering even real classics like Grandia is priced at 5 dollars IIRC.

Ah well, just me musing around though.
 
Guys, I've played the Spelunky demo with much anticipation today, and I totally failed to see what the hype was about. Before trying the demo I was about to purchase the game solely based on the recommendations I've seen at GAF, but afterrwards, I ended up saving myself the $12 (I bought Limbo for $6 instead). Thank heavens for the demo!

I liked the visuals on the Vita screen, the tight controls, and randomly generating dungeons, but the idea of constant permadeath turns me off, I guess. I'm one of the few who simply couldn't enjoy Demon's Souls/Dark Souls, probably for the same reason.

Sorry Spelunky, you're just not my cup of tea. I might give the demo a whirl from time to time if I feel like going through 4 mini stages, but that's about it. Does this make me a bad person? :P
 
Btw Spelunky is up on the italian psn store via search...dunno about other eu stores.
Argh seems a corrupted file DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

I don't want to buy Spelunky because I don't like the way any of the player characters look.

I got to the end of your first paragraph and I was about to kill you.

Then I read down to the bolded, and I realised you're not a bad person. We're just different. So very, very different.
