I fucking abhor all JRPGs but I could not stop playing P4. I absolutely loved it and felt guilty for loving it

There is no uguu in it, really

DCharlieJP · « **Reply #4021 on:** March 10, 2013, 11:26:38 PM »

Still playing P4 - I loved P3 because basically nothing particularly good happened to anyone in the entire story - especially if you go through getting all the social links. It's just one shitty ending after the other

bork · « **Reply #4022 on:** March 11, 2013, 11:51:58 AM »

The Persona games are pretty much the only JRPGs I've ever been able to stand playing. Played a lot of P3P but need to play more of P4G. Got sidetracked by some other titles.

I got my Vita dudes, ordered Persona 4 from GameStop - or at least ordered it in-store to be shipped to my house

demi, how much for the vita?

demi · « **Reply #4026 on:** March 11, 2013, 01:23:17 PM »

I traded a guy on CL my other 3DS XL for it. It's a WiFi model and came with a 16GB card.

archnemesis · « **Reply #4027 on:** March 11, 2013, 01:26:32 PM »

That's a great deal. Do you play non-RPGs? You should check out Hot Shots Golf, WipEout 2048, and Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack.

hampster · « **Reply #4028 on:** March 11, 2013, 01:27:07 PM »

I heard on a podcast that new Sound Shapes DLC will be out this week. I hope its an actual album and not more creator stuff $:-\$

demi · « **Reply #4029 on:** March 11, 2013, 01:27:10 PM »

I'm at work so I cant set it up.

I want to play Uncharted, at least. I havent thought about what else lol.

demi · « **Reply #4030 on:** March 11, 2013, 01:28:56 PM »

I also have Motorstorm RC from when they gave it out for free, along with those freebies from this month (wild arms, patapon, patchwork heroes).

cool breeze · « **Reply #4031 on:** March 11, 2013, 01:36:11 PM »

are you on playstation plus? uncharted, wipeout, and gravity daze are all "free" and pretty much three of the games worth playing.

unless you care about owning the games, it's a good way to check them out. I think 3 months is the minimum, though.

demi · « **Reply #4032 on:** March 11, 2013, 01:45:47 PM »

I'm not too particularly interested in owning Vita games. Does PS+ require a credit card?

I might just use GameFly since they can send you Vita games.

Does that workaround for formatting the card work for earning trophies on them?

cool breeze · « **Reply #4033 on:** March 11, 2013, 01:50:56 PM »

iirc the playstation store recently allowed paypal as a payment method. amazon might sell PSN bucks, too. they did a long time ago, then stopped, then did again, and I'm not sure right now.

what's the workaround for formatting cards?

demi · « **Reply #4034 on:** March 11, 2013, 01:53:43 PM »

I guess my question is - will a game from gamefly let me earn trophies on it? Do Vita games have some form of "online pass"?

I know Vita is pretty much anti-Piracy PSP, so I'm not too familiar on how strict it is.

tiesto · « **Reply #4035 on:** March 11, 2013, 01:55:11 PM »

I honestly can't think of why someone who hates RPGs would only like the Persona series. Unless the dating/simulation mechanics are just that compelling to them that they can put up with the dungeon/combat slog (and yeah it can be a slog, and this is from a hardcore RPG player).

And I do think both P3 and 4 have plenty of

elements.

Huff · « **Reply #4036 on:** March 11, 2013, 02:29:25 PM »

with games that store saved games on the card, you just have to "format" or delete the data on it before you can earn trophies on your psn name.

demi · « **Reply #4037 on:** March 11, 2013, 02:38:09 PM »

By card you mean the physical game itself?

archnemesis · « **Reply #4039 on:** March 11, 2013, 03:35:15 PM »

There are three free augmented reality games that are cool tech demos even though they're not that fun after a few minutes:
• Cliff Diving
• Fireworks
• Table Football

These should be free too:
• Frobisher Says! - Pretty great mini game collection.
• t@g - free (?) augmented reality graffiti app.
• The Treasures of Montezuma Blitz - a free match three puzzle game.

No trophies in these as far as I remember, but I believe you can get some from the Welcome Park app.

hampster · « **Reply #4040 on:** March 11, 2013, 03:39:31 PM »

Jetpack Joyride, Treasures of Montezuma Blitz and Frobisher Says are all free and have trophies

Yep.

Every game installs some data on the vita homescreen and you get the bubble as a result.

For games that save to the cart it will realize that the PSN accounts are not the same and then spits out the message of not being able to achieves trophies for the account.

To get around that just delete the bubble for that game then re-insert the card, it will recreate the bubble but now with your info and you can gain trophies.

Money well spent, I finished the game but still need to take the 10-part class about Jungian psychology that's included in the TV programming

demi · « **Reply #4045 on:** March 11, 2013, 04:17:24 PM »

Is there any way that I can let a friend play on the Vita but not have him earn any trophies for me?

ESPECIALLY Persona 4 -- if I want to loan it to someone to play (the Vita itself).

archnemesis · « **Reply #4046 on:** March 11, 2013, 04:18:44 PM »

Sure, have him log in with a different account. You might want to backup all your stuff first.

demi · « **Reply #4047 on:** March 11, 2013, 04:21:04 PM »

So I can "backup" my info on to the PC, then format it and make some dummy account for guests? I understand you can only have one account tied to the card (another distinguished mentally-challenged idea from Sony).

archnemesis · « **Reply #4048 on:** March 11, 2013, 04:23:28 PM »

There is some kind of workaround for changing regions without having to format the card. Look it up on GAF.
The Content Manager is handy if you want to backup your saves. Otherwise you can just download the games from the PSN again.

IIRC there was a GAF thread saying they blocked the workaround with a firmware update.

Not sure if it remained though.

archnemesis · « **Reply #4050 on:** March 11, 2013, 05:08:14 PM »

That wouldn't surprise me. It might be easier to just get a second memory card.

demi · « **Reply #4051 on:** March 11, 2013, 05:45:15 PM »

True, I might just get a cheap 8GB.

demi · « **Reply #4052 on:** March 11, 2013, 06:37:56 PM »

why the fuck is resistance demo 3GB? lol.

mjemirzian · « **Reply #4053 on:** March 11, 2013, 07:15:33 PM »

This is probably impractical, but if you never take your Vita online and don't register an account to the memory card, you can save any region to the card.

bork · « **Reply #4054 on:** March 11, 2013, 09:14:14 PM »

You need a memory card for each account now. Keep in mind that when you account switch, you have to do a factory reset, so all your icon placements and settings are lost. You have to watch the intro video too. Not that big a deal, but just annoying enough that I stick with one account.

It's a locked version of the full game.

switching vita accounts also deletes all locally stored trophies. sync those to the server if you plan on doing it.

I haven't bothered since Sony made the process more complicated. Too much of a hassle just to try soul sacrifice or w/e. Don't get why it doesn't support multiple accounts like on the PS3.

Quote

A majority of the Sony stores across the US have dropped the price of the 3G-compatible PlayStation Vita, down to $199.97. The base 3G bundle includes the handheld, an 8GB memory card and a voucher for a free PlayStation Network game – if you sign up for data coverage, that is.

The image above comes from a Century City store in LA. Save for a couple of stores on the East Coast that had closed once we started hitting the phones, we called each and every Sony store location to confirm. An employee at the Denver location surmised this was a permanent price drop due to a discontinuation of the model and said there was no time frame on the sale in his system, which means Sony can end the sale whenever.

The New Jersey and Las Vegas locations also told me the 3G model was being discontinued, while an employee in Seattle said the sale would only last until Sunday.

Both The Pinball Arcade and Zen Pinball 2 are really solid pinball games. I can't choose between them. Flip a coin to decide, then pick up the other in a few months.
