The best laid plans....

Apparently the rubber banding trick for LBP didnt work after all.  I did not do a long enough test.  It stopped counting after a few minutes apparently.

I can report that the banana trick does work quite well though :)

Anyone have anything to say for the Vita version of Borderlands 2? I'm wondering if I should redeem the code I got from my bundle or try to get $15 for it on eBay.

Some body else (pete/not pete?) was selling his code I think for $5 here. Buy his code and sell yours? Profit?????

I bought a $10 code from someone here a few months ago but really haven't played it much. I already had the plat on PS3 and it is the same trophy list. You only get two of the DLCs (there are 4 main ones). I had an issue pushing a save from my Vita to my PS4 (picked up the handsome collection a couple weeks ago on PSN). I couldn't fast travel to the two DLCs that the Vita didn't have. It thought I didn't have them.

The other night Kilik and I played one of the raid bosses on PS3 and it was horrible. Lag city. Looked pretty bad too. Maybe not fair since I have been playing the PS4 version for a couple of weeks. Can't imagine how that would play on Vita.

Not sure I would want my only exposure to the game to be the Vita version but for $10 or so I would probably keep the code. For $15 maybe sell it.

Does the code include all the DLC that the cart does? Getting a physical copy might be better if not, plus if you ahve the cart saves some space from having to install the game AND the DLC, dlc is like 3gb+ by itself.

The vita version is not bad, little laggy but very playable. Controls ok on the vita, cross save with ps3 and ps4 is pretty dope. Ps3 and vita share trophy list, ps4 is seperate.

Only issue I know of on the vita with it, is there is a trophy for the Pirates DLC for going to all the areas in that DLC, its apparently unobtainable on the Vita.

It also plays on the vita tv, I think, but if you have the ps3 version from plus, might as well play it on there. You can get all the DLC from the GOTY edition from gamestop, buy the used copy, load the dlc from the disc and then return it.

It's odd that the trophies for BL2 don't all auto-pop. Somebody made a list of the ones that do and do not:

story missions mainly dont auto pop, quite a bit of the others do unless they require something specific to be done.

Also that only matters for ps3/vita and ps4, vita ps3 share a list.

The hardest trophy to get, the level 1 challenges deal, does auto pop, so theres that.

I find it hilarious that they backpedaled about the original statement of 100 included premade courses on disc and changed it to dozens. Whilst that allows possibility for the count to still reach near 100, I'm inclined to believe it will be significantly less since they aren't eager to attach another number on it. Otherwise they could simply say 80+ courses, 60+ courses. I'm guessing it will likely be around 40.

I said it once and I'll say it again: I could watch/play Mario Maker all day.

Now I hope Nintendo releases the Mario Maker Wii U Bundle that Europe is getting so I can actually play it.

If you had a good amount of bombs you should have just lured Olmec to one side then gone to the other side and bombed a pit for him to fall down into.

Olmec is a huge fucking pain in the ass because of those enemy spawns and you should always try to have 12 or so bombs with you so you can just bomb a pit for him rather than actually have to fight him for real.

Now I feel like a dope, I had somewhere around 17 bombs, maybe more when I actually went into the room. I started on the pit for him to fall into but while he was on my side. I forgot he stays put...forehead slapper for sure. Well at least the next time I'll be ready.

 
First in-battle screenshot of Dragon Quest XI on PS4 (spoilered because it's kind of big):

There are a few other screenshots (including for the 3DS version) here.

I never played 8 and have regretted it. I may have to get this one on PS4. The 3DS version actually looks pretty good considering how god awful Xenoblade looked on the "NEW" 3DS. Honestly though I keep wondering why they are trying to shoehorn these games on such an inferior system when the Vita is SO much better. fuck sales data and common sense. Bring them to the Vita and the system will sell as well as the game because it would be better.

 
goddamn centaur.

got 3.1m on my first ball. Proceeded to tank the next ball and then lose two more on launch without even getting to hit them.

at least I finally got the standard goals trophy which, as we know, is the point of the psnot tourney.

also, cireone bringing the heat!

I think Pancakes did? And Derek too.

But I would say for $5 its worth it. Lots of content. Shitty small game trophy list for a not small game.

fucking Sony and trophies. Citizens of Earth is a great example of trophy lists implimented poorly.

Noticed today that not only does Goat Simulator have a plat, it has separate lists on PS3 and PS4. Gator said it takes about 6 hours to complete. And yet 6 separate mega man games weren't enough to earn a single plat.

The thing about Citizens of Earth is there is a long list of like 40 something in-game achievements. And if I remember correctly, all of the trophies share one of these in-game achievements. So they easily could have just taken that list and had a great set with grinding and total completion and a plat. Instead you get 13 "fuck you not indie game that seems like an indie game game" trophies.

I'm not sure why this thing irks me so much, but it does. Its so wildly inconsistent.

 
HEY PETE!

Two blind monkeys could have picked better pinball tables then the two garbage ones you picked for the tourney!

I'm sure it's pointless to hope for, but I'd love to see the rationale behind giving "less deserving" games plats while depriving "more deserving" games of them if someone asked the relevant Sony employee in an AMA or something.

It doesnt bother me in the sense that I dont think about it until I read you or someone else complain. But it IS STUPID. Of course it irks you because it makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. There really arent that many games that are released that they couldnt standardize this more and have literally a handful of people assign trophy numbers/values to games and make it consistent.

Oh wait, this is the same company that has NO SORT FUNCTION ON ANY OF THEIR GAME SITES.

It'll get better I think.

centaur isn't actually as bad as I thought initially, it's kind of fun once you get the multiball going. firepower is still a bucket of shit though.

next week will be champion pub and something nutty like star trek because there's nothing else I need standard goals trophies on. maybe terminator 2, that one's awesome.

There would be no rationale. As much as anyone might find it hard to believe, Sony doesn't really give a shit about trophies. While it may be a majority of us in this particular thread that care, we are definitely in the minority of gamers who do. That is even more reason why Sony likely never will care. They try to act like they do and end up with these seemingly arbitrary trophy decisions.

The more I think about it, I am starting to agree with Tyler that they should just pull a MS and let everything have a plat. As someone who is a little bit higher than the top 7000 of the world on the leader boards, I stand to lose more than most if that was adopted. It still makes a hell of a lot more sense than what we have now.

To be fair, MM1 takes <23m.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmLgkDlIxfU

MM 2 is <30m, MM 3 < 33m, MM 4 < 44m, MM 5 < 38m, and MM 6 < 37m. Altogether that's only 3 hours of expert-level gameplay. Be reasonable.
