S.C.G Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Rumour is it'll be free on Plus next year, not sure if I should risk it or grab it now. The thing is though, with a game like this I'd prefer to buy it because what happens on the day when PS+ becomes unavailable? I know it's unlikely and definitely a long time off yet but at least if you've downloaded and paid for it then you don't have to worry about it expiring.
Shorty Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Well I just did a quick check online and it seems to be near impossible to get the physical game for much less than £30 so digital it is! Cheers for the heads up, I'll make sure to get that, £13.50 on PS+ is a steal. You can import it from the US for about £20 if you want a physical copy. Sometimes it drops below that on play-asia.

Ah but then, don't you need to have a separate memory card owing to you needing a US region account or something similar? In any case I'm downloading it now but thanks anyway, certainly sounds like a better option than shelling out £30 for the Pal version in physical format.

I've got an imported copy of P4G and it runs fine.
Sheikah Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 No that's just for digital US titles. I've got an imported copy of P4G and it runs fine. Same, I got an imported copy. VGPlus have been selling P4G sometimes for around £15. I've never seen a Persona game actually free and not just reduced on Plus. Really though this is the best game on the system, Cube and co. wouldn't have any regrets buying it at this price if they did. I wouldn't bet on a Plus giveaway!
Cube Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I detest JRPGs. I'll give it a chance if was on Plus due to what has been said about it, but I personally don't think it's worth me spending money on.

Jimbob Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 It is indeed a good bargain, but i've got plenty to keep me going on the Vita at present. I'm currently hooked on Wipeout and Little Big Planet, and i've got Lemmings, Liberations, MotoGP, Uncharted and Sonic All Stars to play through.

I'm gonna level with you here and say this isn't a game to be missed. It's the top game on the system by a long shot and I can't imagine it coming round at any price like this again soon. Even if you just buy it now and play it in several months, that'd be worth it. It's easily one of the best games ever made.
Ike Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 The thing is though, with a game like this I'd prefer to buy it because what happens on the day when PS+ becomes unavailable? I know it's unlikely and definitely a long time off yet but at least if you've downloaded and paid for it then you don't have to worry about it expiring. Yeah, I had considered that. Funnily the reverse happened with Okami, it went on sale after it was made free via Plus and I wanted to actually buy it, but you can't if you have it with Plus. I bought it anyways. Just need to wait until some free time goes on sale now.
Shorty Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) I spent about 140 hours on P4 and it's definitely something I'd want to go back to in the future, maybe even when PS+ no longer exists, so yeah, I'd want a proper digital copy/physical copy. There's something about Persona, I don't know if it will really appeal to everyone, yet I agree that it is an outstanding series, wonderfully unique take on the genre and something you shouldn't miss out on... if there's a chance you'll enjoy it. It became one of my all time favourites. @Cubemas, it doesn't follow many JRPG standards, so you can't really dismiss it on those grounds. There's no map, no towns, no inns, no fantasy setting. However, I do enjoy a good anime, and that must be integral to my opinion (Happ' and Sheikah do, too). It's 33% social interaction/friend maker/dating sim/visual novel kinda thing, parts of it feel just like watching a highschool comedy anime, which must put a lot of people off straight away. But the characters are great, 90% well voiced (Nanako lets it down a bit IMO...). Then you get 33% story-driven whodunit (a pretty great one). When the story's being smart or cool, it's great and draws you in; when it's funny, it's hilarious. That leaves you with 33% turn-based RPG (and 1% pixie dust). But the RPG mechanics themselves are approached in a quite unique manner, where you essentially only fight when you want to (but risk making things difficult if you wait too long). So actually yeah... for many people PS+ would be the perfect way to try this game. Edited December 24, 2013 by Shorty
-Dem0- Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Just wanted to share my homescreen layout with you lot.
Sheikah Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 I really wish I had the Vita decal to go with the Persona backgrounds. Damn me for not knowing Persona was worthy of buying the special edition before I properly played it. :p
Magnus Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Just wanted to share my homescreen layout with you lot. Did you skip Persona 2 because it would mess up your layout?
ReZourceman Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Started playing Gravity Rush. I have only seen Raven once but I have fallen in love with her. I'm such a nerd.
Shorty Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 That looks great, not had a fun skateboarding handheld since the GBA THPS2. Also, I love seeing a trailer for a game for the first time just a couple of weeks before release
dazzybee Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 How did I not know you can put games in folders? That'll clean everything up no end. Also didn't know you could change the background for each screen... But then I don't think I played the vita for more than an hour total in the whole of 2013... But hoping to get back on it this year, so many games I own I need to play! And that skateboarding game looks great. Digital release I presume?
Shorty Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Since it's an indie developer's first console game, I would very much imagine yes. British company, too A blog on the PlayStation site suggests it will get a nice reasonable price.
Daft Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Dive Kick is amazing, if anyone hasn't tried it. Not played it single player but playing it 2-player on one Vita is hilarious. It's like playing on an arcade machine.
drahkon Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Dive Kick is amazing, if anyone hasn't tried it. It is so fucking great, but none of my friends like it So I haven't played it much
flameboy Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Yeah I play Divekick but struggle to find online games.
