You arent alone. Same problem, have no idea whats up.
We need to get some answers man, my google fu can't find anything on this. :(
But everything works with my internet, its just the MK+Vita combo that doesn't. But the Vita+Mk combo works with some other really really crappy router (Nat type 3 btw) that isn't mine.

How does everyone feel about the Montezuma Blitz update? I like that the scores are higher, and everything else...but the screen is too hectic now and it's harder for me to maintain to main score frenzy. I used to be able to just lie in bed and keep it going the whole time. Now my eyes hurt and I'm a bit bewildered.

Got a fairly decent score this week though:

Are there any original RPGs for Vita yet? Even if they are Japan only, I want to see how they look graphically

Does Ciel no Surge count as an RPG?

Just ordered a 32 GB memory card from amazon - 8 GB is not enough for me : (
Also bought FF Complete Collection - I hope it´s as good as everyone here says.

I think Gravity Rush brokeded my mind

Fucking Gravity, "How does it work?"

I would be zooming along and then I miss a roof, total anarchy ensues. Up is now left, down is southwest, north is cat, south is dog, my mind was like Holy Fuck where is she going, how do we stop this!

Still a fucking blast, gonna continue later on, don't want to finish it too quickly, taking my time with it

What all free games can I get for the Vita? Store is a little weird on the system so it's hard to check prices for me.

Think Motorstorm RC & Treasure of Montezuma Blitz so far

Wake Up club is next, but it's only been JP region released so far

That seems to happen to me only when I'm trying to do a challenge. You get used to it. It's really frustrating at first...especially before I figured out what the L button did.
 
Hi guys and gals. I also just got approved a couple of weeks ago. 
I've had the vita since day one and it amazing. I've bought so many games that I haven't even started some of them (Mutant Blobs included, don't shoot me). 
I hardly play on my PS3 anymore. My girlfriend moved into my flat about a month ago and it's just a great console experience without taking over the tv.
Anyway I was wondering which Patapon game you think I should get. I don't have enough time to play more than one. They are all the same price. So which would you suggest? Thanks

My PSN ID is Les_and_Nomi feel free to add me

  • Cliff Diving
  • Fireworks
  • Frobisher Says
  • MotorStorm RC (was (is?) free for a limited time because of a promotion by Scion in North America)
  • Table Football
  • Treasures of Montezuma Blitz

there's ALWAYS ONE
I just spent $17 on Treasures of Montezuma Blitz, which is awful because the upgrades didn't do much and I don't even find the game very fun. Popcap needs to port their games over so I can stop playing awful Bejeweled clones and just play awful Bejeweled.

I thought about buying the most expensive jewel pack because I found it frustrating to skimp on using the bonuses all the time. Then I came to my senses and continued to play without any bonuses and I'm still having fun with it. I'm hoping I'll get lucky with the scratch cards some day.
 
second reposting, regarding dokuro:

is the japanese version in english? or is it the asian version that's in english? or is it both? or neither?...

I'm ashamed to admit that i bought the £15.99 (I think?) DLC item. I instantly punched myself in the face.

I love 2048, it's my second most played game on the Vita (Golden Abyss is first, but not by much). Although I've barely played the MP, I love how they designed it to be like a campaign mode, but with real competitors.

I love 2048, but my God am I terrible at it. I'm trying to Elite Pass everything, and it's taken me since launch to get to the 2050 campaign...

Why would you do that? There isn't much need for the boosts. Just got over 12 million without.

Eeee... was considering getting Montezuma Blitz after all this talk but then it seems like people have a hard time not buying incredibly expensive DLC - makes me scared.

Well it is free! Lol. You get scratch offs daily that give you crystals and you get crystals when you level up, and a small amount when you play. Plus you can get some crazy high scores not using any crystals.

Did I mention all this can be done for free?

Incase you didn't know or had missed someone else saying it, if you press up on the d-pad it will reorient kat to the ground incase being crazy upside down side ways wrong way round confuses you, lol.

Oh, I completely forgot about Motorstorm RC! *downloads*

Also I remember the GB dudes talking about Wake Up Club, sounded amazing/hilarious.

I've been looking around on the Internet and I have trouble finding out what is coming next for the Vita.

I mean, will we really have no new major releases until Assasin's Creed in October?

Free up until the parasite consumes me and forces me to pay £16!

Pretty much yes, this period is generally very slow for all consoles.

I really wish Vita had a Burnout game. I remember when I first got a PSP, Burnout Legends was one of my most played games. I wonder how the Need for Speed Vita game will be, there is no media at all for the Vita version.

Do any platforms get major release until October?

Well August is getting packed in the end of the month with titles

September was Far Cry 3 + Borderlands 2, but FC3 bowed out and went to DOA in December

So September is like Borderlands 2 month

Don't forget Ragnorak Odyssey and Sound Shapes are in August as well.

And whenever Microsoft will allow it Jet Set Radio and Retro City Rampage can come out literally at any time.
 
If there's ever a multiplatform digital release that's being held up, 99% of the time it's Microsoft's fault. Their policies are awful, and from what I've heard, are terrible to work with.

I'd happily take an extended period in certification if it means games come out with fewer bugs, glitches, etc.

It's not like MS just sit on releases, they have a somewhat decent certification process and it's something I greatly appreciate. my only concern is that they have recently started to allow games that are broken to be released, they need to clamp down on that shit.

Not sure about the terrible to work for, for every dev that complains, there's one or more claiming MS are great to work with.

But that extended period in certification is only for the 360 platform and based on your own comment and some of the recent releases this has not helped.

I also doubt MS is actually taking 3 months to intensively test RCR. It has passed cert on the other platforms for many weeks now.
The theory that they dislike that Sony is promoting RCR for their get both versions for one price stuff seems more and more likely.

Just received theatrhythm for 3ds
Kingdom hearts 3d in a few weeks
Followed by new super mario 2 few weeks after that

Nintendo seem to be smashing the vita when it comes to top titles over the summer

To be honest I have more than enough backlog on my vita (gravity rush and Mgs hd in particular)
But compared to the competition... Vita isn't looking too great.. But 3ds wasn't either this time last summer...

well, I've only come across one so far - TWD Episode 2 and from what I gather, it's much worse on the PS3.

Anyway, I don't see why that would upset or annoy MS. it's not like they have their own handheld to promote RCR on. The idea that they dislike Sony promoting something on their handheld and is rather silly especially when you realize that the game comes with exclusive content (characters, etc) for the 360.

It's a shame the dev can't come straight out and tell everyone what the actual problem is beyond dropping a few hints here and there.

It's perceived value. You get more on PSN for the same price. Lots of people describe this deal as B1G2.
And Sony and MS are trying all the time to increase the perceived value of their games either by adding features or getting locked content, so to call this might be too dismissive.

2 cases of game breaking bugs on 360 this year that I remember of the top of my head:
Fez (which took over a month from sending the patch into MS until it was live)
ME3 with the black screen of death

i played it, needed a minute to figure out it only wants my money and instantly deinstalled it.

The problem there is that to benefit from that have to have a vita, which a helluva lot of people don't. So promoting that aspect is a non issue to be honest.

Objectively, MS is the one that appears to benefit in the value department with exclusive characters, etc. While Sony's is obviously the better of the two, a lot of people won't actually benefit from having a free copy on a handheld they'll likely never buy.

I didn't buy FEZ, but I didn't encounter that bug in ME3, but then I did only play it through once.

I enjoy Motorstorm RC, difficulty in getting 3 medals per event really spikes when you unlock the Supercar though. Going to take some time to get used to that bitch.

But yeah, would love a Burnout on Vita.
