let's see, looking back at PS+ games:

jeez almost all the family friendly PS+ games are for vita only or you've already played them.

Castle of Illusion

Thomas was Alone

Costume Quest is awesome. I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel. Day one.
It's a good game, but it's far from being in the awesome category The combat is pretty boring with just timed button presses, and the random encounters were pretty frequent.

I think I gave up somewhere midway through the mall part..

 
Looked at your psnprofile page, how do you find time to play and get so many trophies? I feel like I have played a good amount this year and you have doubled the amount of trophies I have gotten this year, lol.
To be fair, part of this year I was in a trophy competition and I was playing a ton of shitty games that have very quick trophies. Right now I have been playing a lot of stuff that takes longer so the numbers have slowed down dramatically.

My kids are 10 and 13 (actually soon to be 11 and 14) so they prefer to play games themselves now in their rooms except when the latest Lego game comes out. So I spend pretty much all my free time gaming.

He's...a little nuts when it comes to earning trophies. (No offense, Gator.)

Rogue Legacy hits ps3/ps4/vita on 7/29. Cross-buy, cross-save, and has a plat. No price and whether there are separate trophy lists announced so far.
YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEES

None taken. You are absolutely right, but it is what I like to do.
I had a PS3 from launch that died and i did not replace it for a few years and once I got back on the Sony wagon I have tried to go back to finish up some games and stuff, but the backlog is crazy. Sucks that some of the games have multiplayer trophies that cannot be earned now. i am not as hardcore as you, but do like to 100% the games I play.

Separate trophy lists would be so awesome. This game looks awesome. I know I've bitched about rogue-lites before but I think this game lets you carry over upgrades a little bit when you die. I think I'll like this game.

 
Gearbox is "scared" to make Borderlands 3.
They should be scared since it's the only thing they've ever put out worth playing.

They better be. Borderlands is pretty much the only relevant series they've made.
But, then again...it's a definite failure if they never try at all.

Are we talking about Hayward? Please take him. No way the Jazz should match, no way anybody should be paying that much for him.

He's a pretty good role player, but the Jazz don't need that right now. He's not ever going to be a star and needs to be a #2 or #3 man, and if the Jazz keep holding on to him they're going to try and develop him into the star he'll never be.
Yeah Heyward. He's decent, but not worth that kinda money by far. But he may be to the Jazz, looking at that roster. He's basically a star player for Utaw right now looking at their lineup. To bring him to Charlotte reminds me of Adam Morrison, only Heyward can do more than shoot.

Haha went to ask those questions on the PS blog and ran into this in the comments:

What’s the price? Also is it a single trophy list, or one per platform?

Therm is just on top of things today.

I was surprised at how lively the KZ:M online community was. For being an exclusive Vita game almost a year old, it's doing a lot better there than I expected. I haven't actually played a single PS3 or Vita game online otherwise, so I've no idea if the game dying is a general problem or specific to more niche games.

It does. So does ZHP if you want another rogue-lite playable on Vita. Guided Fate Paradox (PS3) does as well.

 
Others were making Guided Fate Paradox sound really tough. Also I usually can't get into most Japanese games like that.
I've played the first chapter. I need to go back and go through the rest of it. It's quite playable, but the way the screen is so zoomed-in really bothers me. I understand why it's zoomed in, which is to show how constrained the viewable area is, but I'd rather it be zoomed further out and everything a bit smaller but with dark areas where you can't see as is more traditional for a roguelike.

Part of the issue is that I use my computer monitor to play PS3 games, though, so I'm not that far away. If I were 6-8 feet from it rather than 2-3 it'd probably be fine.

Here's a picture of the gameplay. It feels really large on a 22" monitor at normal computer monitor distance:

The first chapter is really dialogue-heavy, which kind of turned me off, but supposedly gets a lot better about that.

 
CellarDoorGames is taking questions about Rogue Legacy over on Reddit.

http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/2a8zbb/a_year_ago_our_first_commercial_game_ever_hit/
In r/gaming, yuck! Dozens of better communities they could have posted in. But oh well, hopefully they have answers to your questions.

I enjoyed playing that briefly on iPhone, but quit pretty early on because touch screen controls for platformers can eat some mayo. Pumped to play it with real buttons and sticks.
Yeah touch screen controls for platformers are just awful.

Very excited! I would have picked it up ages ago if it weren't coming to Vita, but it's such a great fit there that I decided to wait.

Any decision on price yet? Also, just to confirm, is there only one trophy list or are there separate lists for PS3/PS4/Vita?
Rete1 3 minutes ago

We've got a price point set, but I don't think we can announce it yet (Sony PR stuff).

The trophy list is the same across all platforms, but I don't think the trophies are linked together so you might be able to get 3 platinums?

First week we don't get a new PS+ game (since they switched to monthly) and people already crying about how yesterday's update is "one of the worst ever" and "the beginning of the downfall of PS+" and they're "phasing out the PS3 while adding almost nothing to the PS4"

http://www.reddit.com/r/PlayStationPlus/comments/2a6g6j/na_playstation_store_update_78/

I'll admit that the sales recently haven't been super great for the majority of gamers who (stupidly) don't give a shit about OlliOlli or Steamworld Dig, but people are just the fuck ing worst when it comes to complaining.

Does anyone play, or have, Need for Speed Most Wanted? I'm going to go back to it and try to plat. I need the 'takedown someone from your friendslist' and 'play a custom speedlist' multiplayer trophies, and one more security gate. I'll likely ask on PS3t but I figured I'd ask here first.

I plan to eventual get it for Vita, but it might be a while since it would be a rental. You playing it on Vita or PS3?

I haven't looked at reddit but the blog is full of it...so much of it I got tired of reading it this week. People get off on complaining, and feel so entitled. I almost wish Sony would stop doing stuff altogether so that people would appreciate what they were getting finally. Then make a big blog post stating "We've been reading your comments and taking them to heart. No more ps+ or sales, since that's what you guys wanted."

Cool. Any estimate of how much time to get the plat? Curious about the amount of gameplay time you added via trophies. I'm not a huge trophy person, but I know that a fun but challenging trophy list is a huge appeal for a lot of people.
Rete1 a minute ago

Hmmm... It depends on how good you are at the game. There's 1 major trophy we added to the game which I absolutely love. It completely refreshes how you play, and it's pretty difficult to get.

I won't spoil it just yet, but it really emphasizes the roguelike elements of the game.

I think I have it. I know I bought one of those NFS games back when they were $5. Never even started it.

 
Google says no :(
Oh well, thanks anyways. Maybe someone will have it, if not I'll go elsewhere and find someone. I didn't realize how close I was until I was about to play Rivals and looked at the NFS's I had played. That one security gate is likely to be a bitch since I haven't played in so long. But if it's the only thing I need I'll use a guide and go one by one for it.

 
Laundry, I had Most Wanted a while ago but no longer, otherwise I would help you out.  I loved that game.  Almost as good as Burnout Paradise.

 
Just thought I'd share this from the NBA thread. Looks like Hugo is saying that as well...awesome.

@wren, yeah I'm slow on that one, I should have done it a long ass time ago but didn't really care about trophies then, I was just playing for fun. But it was probably my favorite Need for Speed game so far. (the original most wanted was pretty good too though)

And also @breakfuss has a pretty good comment recently posted in the old thread

I have it on Vita, though I can't remember if I paid for it or got it for free through PS+. It's unfortunate that it isn't cross-play with the PS3 version.

However, I'm taking a break from racers after I finish up S&ASRT. That game wore me out. :joystick:

I think all the NFS games were on sale for $5 a while back, probably where you got it. I know I got Most Wanted, HPS, and The Run, but didn't get Most Wanted on Vita (no Vita at the time). It's all good, hopefully eldergamer or someone else can help.

Yeah they were all on sale then because I got The Run and was pissed I didnt wait, like a year to buy Most Wanted. $5 for that game is a steal.

The Run is the only one I haven't played yet. I've heard it's not necessarily terrible, but very different and a different approach than most NFS games. I typically love NFS games, and have Rivals I'm looking to get into next. Haven't looked at it's trophies but if you have that, I'll be playing it soon.

I'm in, gotta clear space for it but I can do that tonight.
