PS Vita Deals & Discussions Thread

[lastemp3ror]

Since I thought the cheap 3DS games thread was a good idea. I thought I would start one for the PS Vita. I will maintain this site a few times a day going forward. Post links up to new deals and I will add them to the OP. Anyhow, here we go:

Not a single GS in 100 miles has a copy of Shiren.

;___;

Same in my town. I'd say if anyone is interested in this title, they better buy it online while they can.

 

[Josef]

I had a feeling the Shiren CE would sell out quickly at the Aksys Store once it was confirmed to come housed in a Collector's Box.   Glad I got my order in as soon as the pictures were posted.

Same for me. As soon as I saw that it came in a box, I ordered one. VGP is still offering it for preorder, but I bet that won't last long. At least BB still has the vanilla version available, and with GCU it's only $32.

 

[vegenigma]

Bought Grand Kingdom complete today for $20 with PRO 20% and $5 off coupon. Anyone have any thoughts on the game? Love SRPGs and this looks different and I'm very intrigued.

Wish I could answer, but I haven't opened mine yet. I've noticed people don't actually talk about how good games are in this thread. They buy them just to have them, it seems.

 

[chimpmeister]

Here's a great review of Shiren:

http://www.usgamer.net/articles/shiren-the-wanderer-vita-review-rogue-leader

This reviewer really understands the game well. His preface to the review: "Let's get this out of the way right up front: Shiren the Wanderer is not a game for everyone. You may, in fact, hate it. And that's OK."

Many people are not going to like this game. I played a number of the original roguelike games like Rogue, Hack, and Moria, so I really love this type of game.

I can't remember the last time a review made me want to simultaneously pass on/buy a game.

haha, I like this

I find that titles that garner widely varied, polarizing opinions are often some of the most interesting and rewarding gaming experiences.  Dark Souls, MMORPGs, Destiny, and now Shiren.  I gravitate towards these types of games.

 

[nitrosmob]

Just have to know Shiren is about as old school as it gets when playing. Heck for a bit there I was flashing back to playing Shiren on the SNES.

I like srpgs but the gameplay vids were a turn off. I think it had a demo but that was on ps4? Thats weird though as I didn't know it was getting a psvita version let alone physical. I thought it was ps4 only.

[Squarehard]

Still waiting on game only of Trillion to drop to $10. :*(

 

[reaperztoll]

Thanks tweeg, grabbed trillion finally.

 

[TooPoor]

Stupid question: Gal Gun will be on the PSN store right? Might wait for a digital sale since funds are tight, but if not, will get in with the 20% Prime discount now.

 

[n64ra]

Cant you get all the games you own and then filter by category - vita, ps3 or ps4?

There's a chrome plugin that works on the store - PSDLE
(https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/psdle/jdjhhapoddhnimgdemnpbfagndcnmhii?hl=en)

Thanks. I will try that plugin. Worried that it won't be able to tell if its 'purchased' from PS+ or not. Not sure what you mean by the first part. I think filtering by category would still list DLC and PS1/minis.

Can someone please post the UPC from their Shiren the Wanderer vita hard case found inside the Eternal Wanderer LE?  I want to know if it's the same as the standard edition UPC.

 

[Josef]

What the heck happened to the Criminal Girls 2 Limited Edition preorders on the NIS America website?  They appear to be completely gone. The pages aren't even there anymore.  I don't think its a stock issue because I checked earlier in the week and the $74.99 one still had 50 - 75% stock left.

http://store.nisamerica.com/preorders/criminal-girls-2#platform=playstation-r-vita-system&gan_data=true

I know the game is going through some kind of censorship thing right now, but the standard edition is still available to preorder.  Only the LEs are missing.

Got my order in last night.

 

[Josef]

Got my order in last night.

Do you remember what the stock counter said for available stock at the time of your order?

 

[jedex]

No

 

[Josef]

No

OK, thanks. I'm just thinking they took the listings down then since even when they sell out they usually leave the listing up. Odd.

 

[Aleth]

Do you remember what the stock counter said for available stock at the time of your order?

I can still find them on the main page: http://store.nisamerica.com/

 

[Josef]

Thanks! Need to get my order in for the new Harvest Moon and was going to use this for the free shipping. I spent literally almost a half hour trying to find the listing on the website and it was on the front page all along. Haha...sigh.

No problem, just put in a pre-order for it myself and with Touhou standard to get the free shipping

https://store.na.square-enix.com/product/281409/army-corps-of-hell-ps-vita

That would be a good price, if the $8 shipping fee didnt kill it

 

[Tweeg]

That would be a good price, if the $8 shipping fee didnt kill it

Like RiceDigital worse, just saying.

 

[mcdull]

Then again, I rarely buy LE/CE games unless there is IN GAME content included.. The art books and such get thumbed through once and get tossed in a drawer to be looked at 15 years from now when I clean the drawer out.
99% of the time I turn the in game music off anyway, so soundtracks are a waste to me.

Give me the game, for cheap.

I'm about the same and will only buy LE/CE if it's only a few bucks more than regular. Especially I won't buy those will figure, those extra are simply occupying previous storage space, the older I get the less I'm interested in those CE. The only thing I will be interested if comes with a PS4 controller, at least that's something useful and I need one for PSTV.

 

[moopher]

Surprised I haven't seen any news about this here-

"Gal*Gun: Double Peace rated E for Sexual Content"

http://trib.al/BTXU4lJ

Basically it has the correct rating on the front, but the rear rating shows E for Sexual Content.

 

[Squarehard]

E for Exotic.

E for Exotic.

Good One^

 

[Lord Chabelo]

"Gal*Gun: Double Peace rated E for Sexual Content"

http://trib.al/BTXU4lJ

Basically it has the correct rating on the front, but the rear rating shows E for Sexual Content.

So who sells the physical copy of the game in the US? They will have to deal with this mess and this will probably add another nail in the coffin of physical games.

"Gal*Gun: Double Peace rated E for Sexual Content"

http://trib.al/BTXU4lJ

I don't see the problem. Everyone has sex.

 

[WingsDJY]

E for Exotic.

Or is it E for Erotic?

 

[nightc1]

I don't see the problem. Everyone has sex.

If that were true people wouldn't have any interest in buying these kinds of games.

 

[Squarehard]

Or is it E for Erotic?

Too obvious, needed more nuance. ;D

 

[Squarehard]

If that were true people wouldn't have any interest in buying these kinds of games.

If that were true, Japan would be out of business.

 

[chrislaustin]

I saw a few pages back that Shiren LE sold out on Askys site, but it appears to be in stock currently. I don't know if it shows out of stock at some point during check out, but it can be added to your cart currently.

 

[Squarehard]

Appears it's been restocked.

Still was cheaper getting it from VGP though for me, so no regrets.

Heads up on the deals posted on the last page...

The Amazon listing for EDF 2 is from a 3rd party seller for $12.79 with a shipping cost of $3.99.  It's a minimum of $18.89 for a copy from a seller shipping from Amazon's warehouses (for free shipping options).

I just got done grabbing Gravity Rush (Vita) $18.99 & Gravity Rush Remastered (PS4) $19.55 (doing the micro price drop  thing) and rounded my order out with something else since EDF2 wasn't going to help get the free shipping.   I have GR (Vita) in digital format anyway, but love the game enough to own a physical copy.
