Finally started up TerRover and I'm getting a Trials vibe from it in with the way it handles with regards to the necessity to shift weight to get through or past some obstacles. It's not adhering to that style of realistic physics or anything like that, so the controls are a lot more twitchy here and it takes a bit to get used to that. It's easy to flip your little robot tank around like crazy if you're not careful.

Ok, I will be getting a vita soon from a trade with another cag. I read the faq about playstation+ so uncharted golden abyss is still able to download if you're a member of PS+? I may only be a member for 3 months so can I digital copy at a discounted rate right before my subscription expires? I'm a total sony noob and this will be my first sony console since the ps1 (it wasn't really my brothers, but I played it like it was mine).

Any idea how long the Growlanser sale is for? I was gonna buy it, then remembered the Hyperdimension Neptunia MK2 DLC was on sale too.

We could argue that but the reason I responded was because he said "this generation." In my post and his post we didn't mention anything pertaining to the year it came out.

P.S. Naughty Bear came out that year

Sequel falls flat because too much time was spent on those new features and not enough concentration on polishing what people loved. One series that seemed to avoid this trap was Uncharted. First game was great, but the second outperformed it in terms of reception and sales.

But Uncharted 1 and 2 were both developed by Naughty Dog (Uncharted 1 had an extra developer, Cerny Games). Bioshock 1 was developed by 2K Boston (now known as Irrational Games) and Bioshock 2 was developed by 2K Marin and 2K China with Digital Extremes producing the multiplayer.

Wow that's funny, I played it for about an hour tonight and Trials is the first thing I thought of as well, both in regards to having to correctly shift the weight and the frustration of not doing something correctly and flipping over.

It's definitely an interesting game, for $2.50 I won't have any regrets, but I'm not sure if I'll see it all the way through. I think someone would need to be a little bit of a masochist to thoroughly enjoy TerRover.

Sony confirmed via Twitter that there'll be a Vita firmware update 2.01 coming soon that'll fix the issues with automatic synching of PS Plus game saves.

i'd love to play a vita port of under defeat, but if i bought it on ps3 it would probably just go straight to the backlog since i'm rarely home.

Uncharted will probably be there for another 5 months, so no worries on that front. However, you won't be able to get Uncharted at a discounted rate after, but you should be able to finish it in 3 months. There is no online, so it's not like it has endless replayablity.

Ninja Gaiden 3 also got super low review scores, poor sales and tons of hate, but I still enjoyed it (it wasn't true to the series though) on the Wii U and suspect the hate is a big part to it. Finally I am tossing you on my ignore list, so if you reply to me, you won't get a reply.

You're an Admiral, he's a captain, just pull rank on him.

It's been confirmed that the first PlayStation All-Stars DLC stage will be a Heavenly Sword/WipEout mash-up. It will be free and part of the Kat/Emmett Graves DLC pack. And as previously mentioned, it will only be free for the first 2 weeks upon release.

Are PS+ users unable to get any future discounts to work on any PS+ games they got for free? What if you did not (free purchase) one of the free PS+ games?

I've not tried to re-buy a free game so I have no idea. And if you bought a game that later became free it doesn't matter. It has a record on your account of where you bought a full version (not one with an expiration).

Now this might sound confusing, but basically...

With plus + free = Listed as free.
With plus + obtained while free (no longer free) = it SHOULD prompt you to download it.
With plus + missed it while it was free = You're able to buy it and might get a plus discount.
Without plus + obtained with plus = You're free to buy at whatever the market value is.
Reactivated plus + things you got for free prior = Free again.

I love me some cheap pinball tables.

Hmm, kind of wish that idea of crossing Wipewout with Gravity Rush was used, but I'm still interested in seeing the stage & glad to hear that it's included with the two characters. Hopefully, they'll go this route for future DLC.

I was forced to update last night, so it's already out there.
