The Vita offerings have reached new levels of barrel scraping, apart from Grim Fandango. The rest aren't much better.

History Legends of Patton is a remarkable new low for that service.

Yeah, but also you can just get whatever you wanna get on your JP account and then switch over to your other account and play it and steam that way.

Oh cool. There's a dragon quest builders demo coming out for JP next week and I wanna try it out and maybe record it for the hell of it. Thanks.

I'd say it's slow in general. P4 would have been twice as good if it were half the length.

I like long meandering games if they're done well, it's a rare tone to shoot for. It's why im currently really liking Trails in the Sky (approx. 9 hours in and there hasn't been a major development outside of one part early on where you drop your dad off at the airport).

These PS2 games need to be $10 or under.

It's like a 50 hour JRPG. That seems like a completely reasonable price

But if I just want to play it on PS3 is it fine? I really don't care about costume DLC.

I played it on PS3 and didn't have a problem. Sure it's got some framerate issues but outside of one particular enemy encounter it's totally playable

Thanks - I went ahead and got it. I liked Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 despite their flaws and I figured Lightning Returns will probably have the worst story and the best gameplay.

Nice! I like the whole XIII trilogy, although LR is a pretty dramatic departure in gameplay from XIII/XIII-2.

So... can they get me more HL on Disgaea? :v:

I was surprised by a random online level 1000 dude and gained like 400 levels in 5 minutes and wanted to know what happened and apparently you can just copy the save to a USB stick and edit it to your hearts content on PC. There's basically 0 protection against it.

Goddamn

Really though SF5 is a dissapointment. The actual versus mode fighting stuff is fun when it works but right now the servers are dead (Expected I guess) and there is practically nothing to do offline

Well, specifically, and insanely, you can do the single player stuff while the servers are down but you won't unlock anything by doing it because all that information is stored server side. Anything you do offline you will have to redo online later when the servers are working.

Yes, though you apparently need to beat the story mode with every character to get enough currency to unlock one character.

Clearing all of story mode with every character is about 160,000 FM, 100,000 gets you one character for free, and you can get 100,000s more doing the extremely boring survival mode. I have the feeling nobody will actually pay for a single character in this first season.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:

It's also incredibly boring

But yeah if you do Survival on easy with everyone and story mode with everyone you should easily be above 200k. Characters cost 100k each and will be coming out monthly so you have a good time frame to get them for free.

The problem is that earning fight money after you do all that is REALLY slow. Like 2000 random matches for another 100k slow (Battle Lounge doesn't count and is the majority of what I play). You need 500k to unlock every character and that's assuming you don't buy any alternate costumes or whatever else they are gonna be selling, so eventually you will have to resort to spending real money.

Maybe the new patches will add more methods to get it, I bet when they patch in challenges finishing those will get you fight money but the last challenge is always some obtuse bullshit that will take you an hour to get

One of the things they're adding in March is daily challenges (like Use 10 Fireballs in a Ranked Match) which will apparently give FM at a steady clip. Also I imagine by downloading a new character, you get their Story and Survival mode as an additional source of FM so it's a little boost at least.
