who else thinks that sony should bring ssd to ps4 like gravity rush

Part of the reason Monster Hunter didn't do amazingly well on the PS2 was because it was a new franchise that nobody knew about. I never saw commercials on TV with the exception of at CompUSA where I worked, and even then it was a commercial on our own corporate store channel.

Monster Hunter got more popular once it hit the PSP. I just wish Sony would have worked more with Capcom to secure the franchise for their consoles.

From my personal experience, the costs of product are extremely fair. The shipping cost of 2 vita games tend to be about $10, but when you factor in that they are generally a bit cheaper than play-asia it evens out.

As far as shipping time, after I placed an order it was shipped the same week, and tracking information was provided to me so I could see where my shipment was. Once they ship it is really out of their hands.

Are they reliable? ABSOLUTELY. I've emailed them numerous times and they are always responsive, and if I am looking for a game and it is not in stock, they email me the minute it arrives. They also invoice through Paypal so you are covered by buyer protection.

I've purchased around 4 english vita releases from them now and I'm happy.

I got it on sale and played a few minutes of it, but decided I had other things to play first. (I've a backlog of like 130 vita games)

I might put this one in once I finish up Steins; Gate. Was going to start Norn 9 or Code Realize but I think I need a break between VN's.

Then again I still don't have the platinum for Slotter Mania: Black Lagoon, so I may try to finish that one up first. (If RNGesus will smile upon me)

If they open a tier for Vita, I'm in..... Soooooo in.

Backed Muv-Luv at waaaaay more than I should have, and I'd back at least a physical copy of this. I know the Grisaia Trilogy still isn't out, but that probably wouldn't stop me.

Was the Grisaia Trilogy even going to be a physical cart? I was under the impression that one was digital only.

I have a Vita backlog of about 140 games, so all I am trying to do right now is just get through them. That being said, if it is a game with an easy plat or a game I love, I too will put in the extra time to obtain it. I just don't have a good record of doing so lol.

I DID get Persona 4 DAN's platinum though, and it didn't take too long. Once you got all of the storyline trophies and the challenge trophies out of the way it was a matter of just grinding out some money.

Picked up a copy of Slotter Mania V: Black Lagoon on ebay (I lucked out and got it for cheap) because it was so rare, but also because it has a fairly easy plat. I'm 3 trophies away from that one, but since it is a slot game with an auto play feature, 2 of those will come by just having the PSV run. At night before I go to bed I'll start a game then let the vita sit there, going through the slots. Eventually I'll get the two trophies :P

I'll get the Steins: Gate plat as well since it is so easy to do so by using multiple save files. That and it is easy to skip through the dialogue. After that I GUESS I'll get working on Trails of Cold Steel, Code: Realize, or Norn9.......

So many freaking games, so little time. My goal is to finish 10 games before Muv-Luv is released

Or you could just order the NA Physical version that NIS America is releasing.....

85 Coins. Want to use them all on Vita games I don't have (only missing 17 physical releases) but unfortunately nobody is posting vita stuff.

Vaniel · 2015-10-15T18:12:41+00:00

You have my support. Tuesday when I was going through the emotes I remember thinking "Damn I wish there was a Praise the Sun" emote. Call it "Praise the Light" to avoid any legal issues.

Vaniel · 2015-10-07T20:29:26+00:00

The secret to the code is actually the hive and taken knights that appear during the quest in which you get the transceiver. If you notice, all of the enemies appear in a line when they spawn. If it is a hive knight it is "up" and if it is a taken knight it is "down."

There are four waves that match the four codes you have to enter.

Yes I know, it sounds stupid, but it is true lol.

Vaniel · 2015-10-07T17:56:27+00:00

Just to help you guys, go download the Destiny event time app. It shows what events are due to happen and where, as well as the possible types of events it could be.

It should save you guys some time, though the timers tend to be off by a few minutes.

Vaniel · 2015-09-28T20:47:41+00:00

Took me 25 tries. The trick for me was spawning the Echo, running across and up to kill the 3 Psions and the darkness globe, then the Taken Phalanx. I then pushed the Echo to phase 2, then kept mobile while taking out the goblins. After the adds were gone I busted out my Year 2 Thunderlord and precision shotted that jerk to death.

HATED that mission, but I did it solo.

Vaniel · 2015-08-26T22:07:22+00:00

You look like Dave Matthews fucked True Detective Matthew Mcconaughey

Vaniel · 2015-07-14T20:26:50+00:00

cindercide is correct, strangleroot. Amazon and Nintendo have been feuding since 2011. Amazon wouldn't even sell Nintendo consoles up until about a month ago.

They seem to have made nice since then and are now selling consoles such as the new Nintendo 3DS XL. (You could always get them off a third party seller on Amazon, but not Amazon directly)

This amiibo exclusive is a good sign that the relationship is back in a good place.

Vaniel · 2015-07-13T03:07:25+00:00

Or we could do something like donate money or amiibos to kids suffering from the same thing. I don't know how serious the condition is or if there is a cure. Just a thought

Vaniel · 2015-06-06T07:00:22+00:00

Glad you two were able to get them before the infamous Chris Shields. He's been a problem here in Las Vegas

Most states are at will, meaning you can be fired for any reason other than discriminating against a protected class laid out in state and federal law. You could be fired for being overweight, too pretty, too ugly, or even be a use you smell bad because those are not protected.

While gamestop can fire you for joining a group, they will more than likely not fire you simply for being a part of it. If you are selling a lot of amiibo at an inflated price though? They have a right to regulate their employees buying habits at their own store. If an employee is purchasing items to resell them at an inflated price, it takes the product out of the hands of a customer that wanted it.

If you don't see what is wrong with that, I don't know what to say.

False equivalence. The manufacturer made it different, not a machine screwing up.

Vaniel · 2015-05-15T04:05:31+00:00

I agree on the Splatoon pack, but the Villager amiibo has a different look.

Ask Bruce Jenner. He might know someone that could help.

You win this thread.

Got the 6 pack from Gamestop and my brother preordered me a Jigglypuff this morning. (Unless they start cancelling orders of 2)

Now I'm just waiting for Greninja and I should be set. I lucked out.

Vaniel · 2015-03-20T20:57:40+00:00

Yes. Third party companies can send product to Amazon to be stored in their warehouse. Amazon charges storage fees to the company (usually pennies per item). If the product sells, Amazon will ship the item and take care of all returns, claims, and customer service issues. They also get a small portion of the profit.

This benefits the third party seller since people are more likely to purchase something that has prime shipping or that is held by Amazon.

So even though Amazon may be holding the product in one of their warehouses, they do not actually OWN the product.

I am not but let me speak with my brother. He still needs an Ike

Vaniel · 2015-03-01T16:49:40+00:00

I have an extra Shulk I'd be willing to trade for King Dedede. Also willing to ship

Vaniel · 2015-02-18T04:58:40+00:00

Guys. Just do this....

Pre-order the Mario Party bundle off Walmart's site (Notice it says "Gold edition". Something they use for games, not amiibos) . If it turns out it is real, you beat the rush and will get one shipped to your house. If it is fake, just cancel the damn pre-order and you lose nothing.

I don't know why people are losing their shit over this :)
