Modern Video Games / Re: Early opinions & observations of the "New" 3DS XL

Since I got my PSVita 3 years ago, despise all the great games I hear there is on DS systems I just could never cope with the screen resolution and quality, so I never had any. Even retro 2D games look gorgeous on the Vita screen.

Too bad they didn't seem to improve on this revision..

Tried it on PS+ and it's a game where you need to practice a lot, you die REALLY FAST. Kinda cool if you like dexterity/reflexes based games I suppose.

Cleared Lords of the Fallen on PS4 today.



All the trophies that were obtainable before NG++ are done, I'll do the 2 other runs for the 2 remaining endings later. Not sure about the DLC, it looks too expensive for now and not really interesting, I may get it when it gets cheaper for the trophies..

As a big Souls fan I enjoyed the game, the Darksiders-like artstyle was neat and the boss fights were entertaining. It doesn't match the greatness of a real Souls game thought.

Modern Video Games / Atelier series

« on: July 29, 2015, 08:57:21 am »

Hi all,

After hearing so much good about those games I started playing the Atelier series (Arland) with Rorona + on PSVita. I find this game very enjoyable and I'm willing to play the next episodes (Arland and Dusk series).

Though here's my dilemma, I can't decide on which platform I will play the series between the PS3 and the PSVita.

For now the Rorona "+" game is cross save and is identical on both platform so I can play on both, but it won't be the case for Totori, Meruru and so on. I'm talking about EU versions BTW.

I was thinking of doing the series on PS3:

PS3 versions pros:

• Boxes! I like having the game boxes to put on my shelf and there's no Vita physical version of those games in Europe while the PS3 versions exist.
• Games on disc are cheaper than the digital PSVita versions.
• I like playing games on my TV
• Better performance than the PSVita versions? (framerate, texture definition, etc.)

PS3 versions cons:

• The Ayesha episode on PS3 version doesn't have JP voices while the Vita version does, that's kind of a a big deal for me since I really want to play with original audio whenever possible.
• DLC and bonus features from the PSVita + versions not included on PS3
• Can't play them on the go with the PSVita but that's kinda rare, I often play Vita games at home lol

So I'm asking for those of you which may be knowledgeable about those games:

• How much do the PS3 versions improve compared to Vita versions? (framerate, texture resolution, artwork resolution, general aspect)
• How much do the "+" Vita versions improve compared to the PS3 versions? Are the DLC worth it? Are there key gameplay features that were added in the "+" versions?
• I've seen that you can import your saves from one game to another. What does it do?
• I was thinking maybe getting the Vita versions and play them on a PSTV, but how crap does the PSTV rendering look compared to a PS3 native version?

I see three options:

1) Get all PS3 versions but the Ayesha dub thing annoys me and I don't know exactly what i'm missing from the + versions?
2) Get all Vita versions but i don't know how crap this will look on my TV through PSTV? Even if it looks amazing on the Vita I don't like doing long gaming sessions on the Vita, I prefer TV for RPGs.
3) Get all PS3 versions except Ayesha on Vita? But I don't know what's the benefit of importing saves between games?

It's a very long post, thanks for reading if you did and if you have any advice on this please share!

General / Re: If anyone wants new cases for their genesis games.

« on: July 29, 2015, 07:40:49 am »

Luckily enough it seems that sports games are a dime a dozen and usually have cases (at least by me) so you can probably find those second-hand easily.

You're right, i did this as well for US Saturn cases. I should even find some in Europe since there was only one format for EA yellow-tabbed games I believe.

Cool stuff !

Too bad there's no case format for the "yellow tab" EA cartridges, I would have picked one to replace a half-destroyed box.

I can help if you want. 

If you can purchase the statue and use a US shipping address, you could send it to me and I can pass it along to you when it arrives. (usually you can put a different shipping address from the billing address).

I've done a lot of international eBay trades with no problems. In fact I just sent off a figure to Austria this morning.

Awesome !!

Thanks a lot kind sir, sending PM.

Odd. I did what tafk suggested, and then I get this message.

"Hi, I just saw the invoice but it was the same before, can't you offer a shipping discount since both items will be shipped together?"

Am I able to do this? I didn't see any option for "Offer Shipping Discount" anywhere. @_@ eBay is really starting to confuse me.

Yes this is common practice, that's mainly the point of having a "ask for invoice" option. I always try to buy items on the same seller when available precisely to save on shipping costs.

Hi fellow US collectors, I need your help!

I saw this on the news today and I desperately need the glorious Journey collector statue : http://gear.playstation.com/en-us/brands/journey/journey-statue.html

Sadly they don't ship outside of the U.S. 

So i'm looking for someone that lives in the U.S. that would order it for me and send it back to France. Of course I pay all the item costs and transport fees in advance via Paypal.

You can check my eBay profile, i'm a very serious person.

My only concern is the packaging from U.S. to France will need to be very well protected since it's a fragile product...

Your help would be very appreciated, for love and peace !!!

After going to read the manual for the copy of Jeanne d'Arc (PSP) I bought today, I found out that it's the French manual. Whoever had this last just threw out the English one I'm guessing. Canadian problems. Sooo...

That's a sucky situation lol.

Sure is. I was really looking forward to reading the manual before I started the game.

Post some pics! I'll translate it!
