What is exactly included in the + version that consoles don't have? Trying to decide if I want the game or not.

Got NLKS and Nun Attack. Needed something to distract me from these last couple online nodes in Wipeout. I always seem to win when my objective is "Don't finish last" and I finish last whenever my objective is "Finish 1st". Assholes.

If i hadn't have beaten Flamehead on hard last night, i think i would have deleted the game and never looked back. instead, i took him down... and yea, i'm not looking forward to Javier.

Jaguar Javier fuckin sucks. Easily the hardest part in the game. The final boss seems pretty hard but if you just take your time with it, it's not bad at all.

And you're right, the plat is decently difficult. I hate seeing people say it's a super easy platinum and then you find out they did the glitch to skip hard mode.

I finally got around to playing a little Runner 2 and, boy, it sure brings out the OCD side of me. Very addictive, really enjoying it so far. I remember someone mentioned the brain melt they get after looking at this game for a length of time and after beating the 1st world my vision actually blurred somewhat when trying to focus on all the incoming obstacles... I think that was my cue to put it down for a while.

Is the DLC worth the money? Is it just character skins or is there a noticeable difference in gameplay?

Honestly I don't even know. I skipped the console version to get the Vita version, but now the consoles are getting Ultimate Edition which includes a bunch of DLC, extra character and features from the Vita version...whatever those may be.

Better training mode with combo challenge, added tap tap mode (gimmick), more titles, one extra option to unlock breast bounce to bounce like those of DOA1 (have to unlock via tap tap mode), ability to use DOA4's audio tracks instead of 5. The down sides are, deleted lobby all together, no tag mode except for story mode, no ability to upload videos to social media. With all the pluses and minuses, I'm not sure the title could be considered as +, but it's DOA on the go so there's only this or Dimensions for the 3DS. Also from personal experiences, the Vita version feels it has less input lag compares to PS3 version. It feels more like the Xbox 360 version which has 1 frame advantage over the PS3 version.

I'm a big fan of Team Ninja (though the current TN is kinda meh) so I have all of their games, yes even those DOA Xtreme games. ;) If you are at least a semi-fan of DOA fighting games, I say get it since it's only $10.

Looking forward to Devil's Third from the "real" Team Ninja!

Bought Guacamelee and am really liking it a lot, but my son and I tried the coop and that is sort of broken. The combat is fun coop, but the phase shifting platforming is problematic. Seems like they didn't think that part out. Also it's unclear if you can drop back out - if you can I could help him with the combat parts, then drop out for the platform parts, but the only option is Quit Game. Maybe that is drop out, but it's unclear.

Are the Tales from Space games for Vita and PS3 different enough to warrant purchasing both or are they basically the same game?

Rotating Octopus Character can’t stop spinning, and he sticks to everything, but he can change direction, and he can jump. So, armed with those two moves – Reverse, and Jump – you’re tasked with helping ROC to collect all the baby octopi who have been so unfortunately scattered all over the world. The videogame world is full of hazards for a spinning octopus, too, so it’s not just a case of jump-and-grab. Timing is everything to avoid sending ROC hurtling to his doom.

Anyone here get Jet Rankings on all Jet Set Radio levels and not have the characters unlock? I have no idea why it didn't unlock and checking online showed no one else with the same problem... I must be doing something wrong. To be clear, I got Jet rankings when playing through the story a second time and had to retry some levels because I got a lower ranking 1 or 2 times. I earned the graffiti souls trophy though. I played through the first chapter in a 3rd playthrough on the same save and it didn't unlock any characters.

I'm loving this game. Often I'll pass on trophies that require a lot of grinding, but in this case I don't care. Triple+ in every level? Sure... why not?

Yeah, I took a couple days off from it and think I'm gonna start through hard tonight. It's too bad there's no plat though, would probably be my first one if there was.

 
Looking on the PS Store, they've enhanced the Pre-Orders section of the store to show what you get for pre-ordering each game:

  • Battlefield 4 gets you the China Rising expansion.
  • Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse gets you the original Genesis version and some avatars.
  • Diablo III and Lost Planet 3 include a DLC pack.
  • FIFA 14 and NHL 14 get you 24 Ultimate Team Gold Packs.
  • Madden NFL 25 gets you an Ultimate Team Pass, which I believe gets you a new pack every week of the season.
  • Rain gets you some avatars, a dynamic and static theme, and a musical montage.

After I beat the last level I started attacking going after Triple+ in reverse; starting at the last boss level and going backwards. I figured the last few levels would be the hardest and it would just get easier from then on. So far, so good... I'm at the midway point of the 5th world.

Since you're a trophy hunter...MGS2 is a hard plat, but 3 is super easy. For 2, there are a ton of VR missions, and some are really tough on Vita. I found myself using the transfar feature to switch between PS3 and Vita a lot to take down whichever missions i found easiest on each system.

That being said...MGS2 I absolutely loved, but 3 I was a little bored with. Definitely worth the price, no doubt.

From what I remember, they play basically the same, but are slightly different levels - can't remember if the Vita game had boss fights or not, but the PS3 one does. I got the Vita one free with PS+ and I enjoyed it so much I decided to buy the PS3 game during this weeks sale. Played through it today and enjoyed it - my one complaint it I couldn't play with the D-pad. I couldn't find any option to change the control from the analog stick and I hate playing 2D platformers with the analog stick. Pretty sure you can use the D-pad on the Vita game.

Actually, they're quite different games. Mutant Blobs Attack is the sequel to Tales From Space and is much more of a straightforward platformer compared to the original being more puzzle-focused.

A few of us were hoping for the four pack to be included in the 75% when they announced it, not that it was particularly likely.

I guess I was expecting more of a snarky comment about expecting the new games to be half off or something like that. The specifics being that the discount was for one title probably was an indicator that they wouldn't go that route with the offer.

 
I gotta put out my recommendation for anyone who is a child of the 80's or a fan of 80's action movies to pick-up Far Cry: Blood Dragon.

The original Kyle Reese (from The Terminator) is the voice actor for the main character.

I'm only an hour or so into the game, but have been laughing pretty much any time there is dialogue or the awesome 8 bit stop motion cut scenes.

"Winners don't use drugs" - yes, they worked that into the dialogue.

Best Buy online. I think it's still going on. If you are a gamer reward zone member you get a discount when you add it to your cart.

Damn. $5 off the $50 card, $1.50 off the $20 card. I must be an idiot to not have noticed this on the website before. :dunce:

Thanks for the info, better late than never! ;)

Yeah, it was more of the distant hope variety that they would do something that would actually justify purchasing a $60 game digitally.

Nah because it's been going on for like two months now but you don't see it unless it's in your cart so it's easy to overlook or forget about.

You're welcome! Don't feel bad, I didn't notice it until I decided to buy a $50 card a few weeks ago. I thought it was a glitch until someone told me otherwise.

i didn't ike the floating cloud mini at ALL, but i've heard the vita version is significantly better thanks to the second analog stick. i don't remember rotating octopus well enough to comment.

i think a previous poster just sold me on blood dragon, i tried to resist.

and yes, too much vita goodness. people complaining about a lack of games have no idea what they're talking about. drowning.

OH -- and javier?! he's the devil. i just got him down to final form (well, final shield variant) with zero damage to self... and he still managed to kill me. every time i think i have him in my sights, he figures out a way to demolish me. hard mode javier is most definitely a beast. i do think i've 'figured him out' tho... now it's just a matter of time.

Seriously, I don't even want to go look at my account to see what I've spent the last three months but it's at least $250 which is about five times what I had planned to spend on PSN in that time period and at least 2/3's of it went to the Vita.

 
Javier defeated.   while this may be easy for people used to fighting games and comboing, i don't play fighting games so this was pure hell.

For those that need help on hard mode (which should be most anyone):

 stay calm.  by far the most important.  he is a BEAST.

1) master roll dodge. you need it.  you need to escape almost all of his attacks with it, and you need to get close to him, and rolling is really the only way.  i use the right analog, though i guess you could use left trigger.

2) learn to juggle him.   dash him, roll towards him, punch punch, dash, uppercut, etc.  if you can get him in the air, you get some bonus attacks.  eventually he'll force break your combo which is when you should recharge.

3) wall hang high up left or right to recharge.  wait for him to charge under you, then special down to launch him, and immediately break his shield and start the combo.

4) do #3 a lot.  i've had some good tries keeping it on the ground, but doing the wall hang i could consistently get him to < quarter health.  cheaper, but hey, so is he.

5) while his vertical attack is unavoidable, it's also the easiest to attack after.  dash works best, then combo.

6) his 'final form' is a white attack shield.  by this point he's moving super fast, and you're all stressed out from being so close to beating him, and it's -easy- for him to demolish you if you blink.   keep calm.   stick to the program.  you need to launch him, then combo to break his shield. 

7) when he gets really fast, sometimes the best move is just to keep 'dash attacking' (left/right circle) him.  don't even go for a combo.  5 hits is better than getting hit.

i got him down to his white shield maybe a dozen times before finally closing the deal.

hmm, tempting on Tokyo Jungle, but I've been trying to stop buying any more games since I've actually been working through my backlog and it seems a likely PS+ candidate.

But I say this every week with little success...

 
Boss, gonna pick up dragon fantasy and probably anything else I'm missing there (which isn't much!). That skullgirls price is awesome too, don't forget that the upcoming dlc characters are free for a few months after they come out.
 
I guess it's finally time to buy Journey.  I was sort of kicking myself for not pulling the trigger at $7.50 awhile ago.  I just hope the hype doesn't ruin it for me...

 
I was just looking at dragon fantasy. It looks like a great way to play a dragon warrior/quest game on my Vita.

I'm starting to regret signing up for ps+... I'm spending way too much money each month on games because of it. These sales are just too good to pass up.
