After sleeping on it, I decided to exchange my Vita for the third time at Best Buy (first time was due to a small dent on the screen, no idea how that happened). Even though they allow up to four exchanges, I felt bad swapping systems due to my anal impulsion with "perfect" screens. But it seems to have paid off, as I fired up Corpse Party in a fully dark room, and didn't notice any blotches. Maybe they need time to surface, but as long as they aren't taking up a visible portion (such as the top left, which would be very visible in a game like that), then I'll be satisfied. It seems the "rule of three" continues to plague me with every new piece of technology. Had to replace my LCD, my PSP, and my iPad a total of three times. Incidentally, my 3DS came out perfect out of the box, but it's also gathering a good feet of dust at my table, so... Anyway, I would also like to give my recommendation for Half Minute Hero. It's cheap, only 101MB, and probably has the fastest gameplay that human development can allow. Plus if you map the right analog stick to the four face buttons, the Princess Mode basically becomes a twin stick shooter.

Is there a Hot Shots manual? There's not one in my case, so I'm thinking there's one hidden in the game menus somewhere. I just feel like there's tons of stuff I'm missing out on. I discovered the back touchscreen shot planner totally by accident. And it took me a dozen challenges before I even realized that you put spin on the ball by using the directional pad during your shot. Then someone mentioned a few pages back that you can add extra distance to power shots by tilting the Vita at impact. None of those things are noted on the controls display, and I didn't skip any tutorials as far as I know. If it weren't for dumb luck, I would be missing out on so many crucial features, and I'm wondering if there's more I've yet to discover.

I'm -2 on the second hole of today's 18-hole tournament. I'm currently ranked 580/580. Please tell me the rating system is wrong. The current average score for the course is -11. -3 on third hole, still 580/580. -5 on seventh hole, still worst golfer in the world.

Zero Escape (999 Sequel) confirmed for both Vita and 3DS release in the West. Aside from the visuals, is there any particular reason to get one version of the game over the other?

Favorabilis Solitud posted:I was doing a VS. Match in Hotshots and the comp hit a tree and it fell about 10 yards in front of a motel. The motel was in between the player and the hole. I think I have also noticed some rubberbanding on Vs. matches. Even on the second boss, he sucked at the start of the game, but as the holes went by and I was destroying him on a few of the holes he hit some impossible shots and even did some ridiculously far chip-in. But prior to this he was barely landing on the green within his first few strokes.  Primoman posted:Zero Escape (999 Sequel) confirmed for both Vita and 3DS release in the West. SHWING.

Just finished my 18 hole daily tournament. I put the ball in the water on the last hole. I finished -4. Rank: 580/580. I am the worst golfer in the world. Strange, because I felt like I was doing well, until that last hole.

Oh man, e-stalking on Near is way too addictive. I can't help but keep tapping around and seeing what kinda people I live near. Apparently I live next door to a Juggalo  Can anyone tell me how to add Game and Player discoveries to Near? I know that Game Goods get added as people send them to you and the Distance is just the distance between connection points, but I want to add stuff to Game and player discoveries.

Could you add me to the goon vita list please Policenaut. PSN: Klaoth Especially looking for other Uncharted people for these black market trades. Primoman posted:Zero Escape (999 Sequel) confirmed for both Vita and 3DS release in the West. About time, always need more good visual novels.

So can we now recommend people play 999 here so they'll be ready for Vita sequel? This is gonna sound kinda weird coming from the OP but please, play this game. Please play 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors for the DS. It is an incredible game, and you will be all set for Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward when it comes out. Help prove to Sony America that visual novels are real video games!

I never inquired further as I've yet to finish 999 (only got one ending so far). I also wonder if it's a visual novel, as it appears to have 3D cutscenes. Is there still a persistent narrative? These are all moot points anyway, as I'm looking forward to it all the same. Also Policenaut, you ever going to accept my friend invite?

edit: Friend invite? I'm sorry but I have like 20 of them right now and I have to sort through all of them. What was your PSN again? I'll add it now.Primoman posted:Is it an actual sequel to 999, or a successor? I never inquired further as I've yet to finish 999 (only got one ending so far). From what I've read, Virtue's Last Reward is a sequel to 999. It has characters from the previous game and supposedly builds off it. It's got visual novel dialog segments just like 999 did too, but instead of being static sprites on a background they have 3D cutscenes for everything. It also has some bizarro Corpse Party style Bad End deal going for it. If you've only got the one ending, you should really go back and finish the rest. There's a great spoiler-free walkthrough on GameFAQs that'll get you to them. It's really a wonderful game.

Welp, pay day is tomorrow, probably going to pick one of these up. I'm leaning towards the 3G/Wifi bundle, understanding all the "You don't get the free month til after the first, same with SSD" junk. Am I correct though that I read somewhere you can just pay month by month instead of locking in a contract? Or was there never a contract and you pay month by month anyway?

Heads up, North America goons! The PSN has updated with some new content! Get'choself some demos up in here with Dynasty Warriors Next, ModNation Racers: Road Trip, Reality Fighters, and Touch My Katamari. If you're a fan of GPS stuff, the "foursquare" app is now available for free. You can also grab yourself some DLC for Army Corps of Hell, BlazBlue, and Marvel vs Capcom 3.

I'm about 40 pages behind but I'm still catching up! Sorry if this has been answered already... I'm an Aussie but I have created a US account as well to browse the store. I see that the US PSN on Vita has Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. I ended up buying it, knowing that it was tied to that account as I thought it was the only way I could play it (it doesn't show in the Aussie PSN on Vita). Anyway, I happened to be looking through PSP games on my PS3 last night and what do we have here... Monster Hunter Freedom Unite DOES exist on the Aussie store, it just doesn't show on the Vita! I assume this is because it's not flagged as compatible, but has anyone tried it? I can't imagine why the US version would be okay but not the PAL version.

Strange, because I felt like I was doing well, until that last hole. From what I've been noticing, my best guess is that the better players skip the 9 hole dailies and go straight to the 18 hole tournaments. Also I wouldn't be surprised if most people are too afraid to play 18 holes.

So I didn't really have any interest in the Vita when it was first announced. I felt really burned buying the 3DS at launch. But after reading this thread I decided to pick a Vita up. I am way happy with it! Playing through Lumines and sucking at it. Gonna try Uncharted out next. I love this thing. PSN name is charche http://www.klaver.co.uk/ps3goons/index.php?u=307

^^^^^ When I tether my Vita to my phone I "travel" to fun places miles away from where I actually live. Almost Smart posted:My launch PSP had about 10 dead pixels that always irritated me, but I think I lucked out with the Vita. Even with pitch black loading screens, I have no blotchiness to report. Are these screens made one by one or are they cut from a giant OLED screen? It's not just pitch black loading screens, it's pitch black loading screens while in dark rooms. If you have any sort of light in the room you're playing, you won't see or notice it. But as said before, it's not a problem.

I submitted my information on the 20th and just got Near working today. Mileage may vary. I forget who, but someone posted a link to a site called Skyhook which does all that kind of GPS stuff, someone could probably talk about it more eloquently though. I just put in my exact address into it and hoped for the best really.
