Shorty

I just spotted MMPR on Amazon's Prime streaming thing, and watched Green With Evil ep 1. It's funny how young they suddenly look. I remember when I was a kid, thinking "they look way older than school kids". Now that I'm an adult, they suddenly do seem like kids :p Tommy and Kimberly, especially. Also it's funny to suddenly notice the inconsistency, how much is chopped and used from different sequences. Oh Green ranger's armour has changed from one type to the other between shots, oh now they're in the rocks, now they're on some steps, now they're near a forest

Apparently it was a mistranslation, sorry :/ looks like what Japanese PS+ users are getting, is the chance to transfer their library fee-free.

A "Passport program" lets you transfer ownership of any PSP games to the Vita. But that's not all: Japan is getting the entire 250 game back-catalogue of PSP games on the Vita as part of PS+ Hope that comes over here!

I'm not sure if anyone can answer this but yourself! If it's more convenient, or you think you will definitely want to play those titles and put your PS2 away, then sure. They upscale nicely and work fine, things like saving are generally faster and the system runs (or should run) quieter than the PS2. On the other hand, the PS3 is already last-gen and there's no way to know for sure that those PS2 titles will ever be playable on future systems. Years down the line you will just have some digital games floating around in cyberspace that you will forget about/never be able to play.

I really like changing the background on my PS3/Vita, I hope that's an option in the future for PS4.

Awesome news wish the trailer showed even a hint of gameplay, but still... awesome. When "PS4" rolled on... dayum. I wonder if it's hinting that the it will have densely populated overworld areas, that would be pretty sweet contrast from the last two games' small town feels.

Since you like to do two things at once, I'd recommend a dual monitor setup

I found a legendary pendant in a floor tile yesterday :p And I was starting to think it was pointless breaking them. Ah yeah this is what they added in Loot 2.0 for consoles, I was a bit confused as to why it was happening at first, definitely didn't happen on the 360/PS3 version. It's a bit annoying because you see a legendary only to find out it's not for you. Because of RNG, you can end up resenting your teammates a little if it happens frequently :p

RE: SAO II, You made the right choice, it's awesome, but I wish I hadn't just caught up. Need more!

In a sense I think you're supposed to be figuring it out just as he does. When he says it doesn't work, he's just as surprised as you. That's what I figured, anyway. You could've switched back to smoke before that cutscene, I think, basically after you finish getting all the blast cores for Neon powers. But then you'd have to go back to Neon to get up that wall on the bridge (just to have it taken again).

Auto run kinda makes sense for a touch device. How often do you actually stop running anyway? I'm just glad to hear it's not an infinite runner, that would've not only been a cheap experience but really felt like a sellout from an otherwise great developer.

Unless you're playing local co-op, then it's first-come first-served :p

When you first get a new power type, you're stuck with it for a little bit. After that it changes whenever you absorb that type. There's one point in the game where they want you to be on smoke, so they have Delsin absorb a smoke grenade during a cutscene. There's no reason you wouldn't be able to change back from smoke though, except during that sequence where there's no neon sources til the end.

I wonder how many people will be cancelling Smash Bros branded 3DS XL pre-orders today :p

Agreed ^ I'll be doing the same. Those face plates are the right way up when it's open!!

The hosts actually got back to me today saying that it all looks ok now, and should remain unrestricted. No more front page caching, hopefully. Looks like a bunch of crappy search bots were trying to index the site over and over, which was draining a lot of bandwidth. Might try turning some forum features back on in a bit.

I think it's part of the big bug that's locking people out of their games. Pre-ordering a digital game is pointless anyway, so you're not missing out on anything....

I mean it's easier because I'm flying through Master when I struggled with Hard before. Maybe I've just got a better understanding of weapons/gear now. I have died a few times but I never really worry about that unless I've got one of those XP pool bonuses, the gear punishment is really a joke since repairing can be done any time and costs relatively little.

You might like the One Piece: Pirate Warriors series, same premise :p

Have they made the game easier for PS4? Last time I played all the way through on normal/hard, by the end of the game was only level 32. This time I'm level 38-ish before fighting Azmodan, playing the whole thing on Master difficulty. Probably would've played all day myself if I hadn't had housework to do :p Wizard is so fucking fun. Freeze AOE + Explosive AOE = amazing.

I can't believe it's taking them so long to get services back up and running. Makes me wonder if they had any contingency for DDoS at all. At the very least they could block all incoming connections then reopen certain unrelated IP ranges.

You didn't get any games on disk? You don't have to wait for PSN. If it's any consolation, this is the first time it's gone down for more than a little routine maintenance in quite a while. Just means hitting the server with thousands of requests using bots/proxies etc so that genuine requests can't get through, eventually will bring the server down by using up all the memory, bandwidth, cpu etc

Let's not give them the credit of the term hackers, it's a DDOS. The things some people have to do to get their kicks, honestly....

I don't think it was a reference to that film mate sorry :p

Didn't notice anything like that, care to elaborate?
