ok

[Shaka Khan]

You know what, lemme check VLR's Flowchart one last time to determine the reqs for the true ending, just to make sure I'm not pulling anything out of my arse. I'll post some stats too.

Please note, however, that the game is really enjoyable overall. So unlocking everything wasn't technically a torture.

[Shaka Khan]

This is much easier -- a flowchart courtesy of GameFaqs. It goes without saying that it spoils the basic structure of the pathways, but it's doesn't show everything or give too much details. View at your own risk...

Phi's path leads to the true ending...

[bork]

Which one of those would be considered the true ending?   

[Shaka Khan]

Phi's ending.

[close]

Has 5 story locks, each lock requiring playing through 1-3 puzzle rooms. To be honest, looking back at it, it may not be as tedious as I first thought (you can jump to any unlocked point at any time), but it definitely takes longer to unlock than 999's.

[originalz]

You literally need to beat every story tree (at least the good ones) in order to unlock the true ending, I think my final save was around 30 hours or so.

You really should play 999 first, the good story twists won't have the impact if you haven't.

[Purple Filth]

So bork really became Stalin? 

Need to finish Golden Abyss finally.

New SRPG* from Compile Hearts coming to the Vita.

[tiesto]

So IIRC Compile Heart is a rebirth of Compile, the company behind Puyo-Puyo and tons of fantastic 16 bit shooters (like Blazing Lazers, the Aleste series, Zanac)? Shame that they are now stuck working for Idea Fukt.

Would it kill a hacker to fine an exploit around not having folders on the vita so I can finally get some

Not even a second of gameplay? Is it actually a SRPG or another dungeon crawler.

It's a rougelike dungeon-crawler. So far they've only released screenshots, no actual gameplay, but it's from the makers of Hyperdimension Neptunia, so you know it's good.

If you have PS Plus, Foosball 2012 is free on Vita

Carry on

[hampster]

I grabbed the two free PS mobile games yesterday, Samurai Beatdown and Beats Sliders

Samurai Beatdown is just plain dumb. I think it would be easier to play on mute because the music has nothing to do with when you should attack. Beats Sliders seems fine but its a sliding block puzzle game and I must have missed the day in elementary school where they tell you how to figure those out because I've never solved one in under like 10 minutes. I couldn't get past the first puzzle after 15 minutes  :'(

[bork]

I thought I saw Jetpack Joyride listed as free, too?

Doesn't seem to be mandatory.  I was able to get on the Store without updating and was playing online last night.

[Don Flamenco]

nice...I just need time to beat BBS with a character or two.  hopefully Stranger's Wrath vita is on sale next week before any mandatory fw comes out.

Jetpack was free when i got it, not sure if that has changed.

Also the update wasn't up when i checked the vita last night and i could go in the ps store anyways.

the link now longer says 2.05 anymore (just 2.02 like before) and i guess that explains why i still saw 2.02 as the latest version last night.

I guess someone fucked up and pushed the info early or just trolling? 

[thisismyusername]

Doesn't matter if they patch it, there's already another exploit. Just shows that Sony should stop bothering since 1) it's PSP emulator and 2) not bothering them. Might as well make dosh on people that want to play Birth By Sleep on a handheld that can't do it due to license issues.

And Jetpack will ALWAYS be free AFAIK. There's no time limit on that.

the latest game has already been patched so unless they have another game ready you will have to wait.

but yea this tug of war is gonna go for a while until all the games with this type of exploiting is blocked or they find another way.

2.05 is up now and mandatory (PS store,etc)

You mean Uno? Yes, that was what 2.05 blocked. Unless you mean the newly found one (posted at the "usual site") that was posted yesterday, in which case: No, unless Sony mysteriously blocked all exploits this patch.

But again: It isn't hurting their bottom line in anything but PSN PSP sales, which really isn't making them money (I don't think) with the overpriced-ness of the PSN store titles. Might as well let people use the exploit since it's only in the PSP sandbox and as soon as they start cracking the non-emulator area, crack that shit down hard and fast with a mandatory PSN update for Playstation Plus users.

Ratchet and Clank Full Frontal Assault was supposed to come out this month for vita but now it isn't :'( Hopefully it drops in early February. I'm excited to play it

Also GAF is prepping its 4th or so Vita |OT|

Vita's community We'll stay on this sinking ship until the end

[Joe Molotov]

I downloaded the update and Jetpack Joyride last night. It was quite an exciting day for the ol' Vita!

[Huff]

Is taco the head hancho?

[Joe Molotov]

Taco-chan, we still love yuuu~!

[Tasty]

probably not.  most of them hate him.

Not poor Taco kun. :'(

I'll be there, holding a candle for it in its darkest moment, knowing that its better to have peace in death than torment in life...

Gaf's Vita community is becoming more like bronies by the day.  They seriously refer to each other as 'vitabros'.

...but if you call me "vitabro," I'll punch ya front teeth in.

IIRC Sony will usually patch the game first (taking it down and the new version that goes up can't do it) , then patch the particular exploit itself after.

 Sounds like they found another game to move the exploit to i guess?

Is taco the head hancho?

i think its more likely that poster called Carl.

dude will defend vita to his grave apparently (thinks UC:GA is the best game of the series and defended Black OPs IIRC  )

[Joe Molotov]

and defended Black OPs IIRC  )

You don't have to go to GAF to get that.

[Don Flamenco]

i have played all the calls of duty and black ops declassified is the best of all of them

[bork]

Best portable multiplayer FPS out there!  I stand by that!

And yes I know that means next to nothing when you look at what's available!   

[thisismyusername]

Yes, exactly.

And there's rumors/rumblings of a native hack that the person doesn't want to release just yet until he's sure Sony can't fix it. Which means it'll probably never be released unless leaked or the system is dead within the year. heh.

Gaf's Vita community is becoming more like bronies by the day.  They seriously refer to each other as 'vitabros'.

Their wordplay is annoying, but it hasn't eached the level of "everypony"/adding "neigh/pony/whatever" to words like the My Little Pony community, so I wouldn't put them on that level.

But whatever, it isn't harming anyone besides being an annoyance. So whatever.

[thisismyusername]

awww, are you a vitabro?  how cute.

Naw, I just wouldn't put them on the Pony's level. Until they start making fanart I don't think they're that embarrassing yet.

[Huff]

Oscar will you be my vitabro? 👬👬👬

[thisismyusername]

I will admit that Carl is insufferable with his defense of the system, though. Taco-kun at least admitted the system is a failure.

[thisismyusername]

  Vita-tan has to use the Move controller for their weapon? System is truly doomed in that case.

I caught your post before that edit, Oscar. You should've left it as it was.

Which probably means last November

i (takao) have a vita. my friend andrex does not. but he wants one this year for valentine's day.

so we started clowning with sum not-so-subtle hints to a's parents that a vita would be teh perfect gift. we created this site to spread the luv to those like a who want a vita!

consider us your own personal vita hype machine, here to help you wage a valentine assault on ur parents, girl, granny, boss – whoever – so they know what you really want.

we'll let you know how it works for us. pls return the favor.

more to come,
t&a.

[thisismyusername]

  And people wonder why the system is failing: Sony is pulling the same mistakes they made with the PSP after they basically said "no, we aren't going to do that with this system!"

I could totally see them doing the "I want a PSP for Christmas" site again if they had a smarter ad agency this time around.

Which probably means last November

DOA5 comes out in March, dude. That's the swan song of the system. You can be a pervert on the go!

[Sho Nuff]

Oh snap that's right. Okay, March then!

[maxy]

Interested people should read the fine print.

Must note they're being paid to shill for Sony on Facebook, Twitter, or by e-mail...

Gamefaqs seems to have fun with this

I'm sure you all have seen this already, but here's an attempt at consolidating the information and starting a thread that benefits everyone.

I'm also sure many of you have already received this email, but I'll briefly explain. This is a promotion by Sony in which you are supposed to refer your friends to buy a PS Vita. Both you and your friend will be awarded with $20 in PSN credit and 1000 Sony Rewards Points. All you have to do is have them use your referral code and input their name, email, serial code, and PSN ID. At this point, I do not believe that the Vita has to be brand new as I was able to do this with my Vita which was purchased on Black Friday.

So let's get this ball rolling:

Go the link below, use any referral code (I've provided mine for starters), and follow the instructions. It's that simple. You should be in for $20 PSN and 1000 Sony Rewards Points when they send the codes out!

http://psvita.amplifinity.com/offer
My referral code: 14036475

Note that if your serial number comes back invalid, it seems that all you have to do is insert an extra 0 or letter at the beginning of your code (right after the two letters). Both 0 and H worked for me.

ALSO NOTE that after 10 referrals, the person who referred you will not receive any more PSN or Sony Rewards Points. So spread the wealth. Leave your own codes and quote the codes you use so we can maximize this for everyone!

redeemed my vita

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Back in the day I was an evangelist for the Dreamcast.  It was pretty fucking embarrassing in hindsight and I don't think I sold a single one.

I don't doubt that there are some Vitards out there who will do this but I hope for the sake of their social lives that they sit this failure of a strategy out.

I can confirm the 0 thing works. I wonder if they'll follow the money and not give me the $40 PSN card I want so I can get DOA5+ free. >:|

This sounds awesome

This also sounds like it might be fraud
