Got MGS for vita at there on friday with the money i got for gravity rush

Was never the biggest fan of MGS but i said for €1 euro i can't go wrong

Ok still not used the controls yet but i will say i am enjoying MGS 2 so much more on the VITA then i did on the PS2 maybe because i am nearly 10 years older playing it.

One thing for a game of its age it still looks as good as ever.

One thing i will add MGS so so hard i keep on dieing so many times LoL

Hi there!

I'm thinking of picking up a Vita for summer as I'm bored to tears here. There's just one thing that has been worrying me.

First and most important is the linking of PSN accounts to the Vita. I live in Europe and I made a few accounts on the PS3, with one being a US account so I could access that store. But as things panned out, I started using the US account as my primary. All my purchases however, have been on the EU account. This normally poses problems for games that I have to get DLC for as it involves a lot of switching back and forth. I've heard that you can only have one account on the vita per memory card.

My question, basically, is: Will I have issues trying to play on a NA account, when all the content (like psp/ps1 games) will be bought from the EU store? Will having to switch memory cards to switch accounts prevent me from playing the content on my NA account?

Would it be possible to switch memory cards back and forth to change accounts or does the system somehow prevent that?

Sorry if that was confusing >_>


Thanks for any help!

As far as I know, yes you can have multiple accounts with different memory cards.

I think you have to system reset the vita every time you switch cards/accounts, but it's only a small process. I plan on trying it soon with my JP account, but waiting for the PsOne classics port.

I might be in same boat. I think big part of it is that we got used to different control pattern and it's hard to get to old one once more.

I will sound like a fanboy now, but damn mgs collection is some value over 3ds snake eater... Visually, content, frame rate, price...

Nah I agree the games look brilliant. Ain't has this much fun in a game in a while. Even though I know what the ending is in the games, it doesn't make them any less enjoyable.

Is it me or sneaking on someone fr behind and using CQC is impossible?

I feel like this playing MGS4 after peace walker. I think I was spoiled in peace walker because there was a sneaking suit which means there were no footstep sounds and you could sneak up behind enemies easier.

I end up just tranquilising from afar

Back to where you started. Head to Strut A and then to its roof. Tale the elevator there, down to the room where you came out of the water in the beginning.

Is it me or does the battery on the vita seem to go alot more while playing MGS:HD? So far i've just killed Fatman and while in flight mode all the time i've had to charge for the 3rd time. about 5 and a half hours playtime on the game save.

Sony has said today that PS Classics support will be added to Vita via the system’s version 1.8 firmware update. Although this was previously announced, this is the first time that Sony has mentioned the firmware by number.

Firmware version 1.8 firmware update was mentioned during Sony’s announcement of the PlayStation 2 Game Archives service for PlayStation 3 which hits Japan soon – the latter is already available in the US and Europe.

There is currently no date for PS Vita Firmware V1.8 other than ‘Summer’.

Get FFIX too if you don't already have it. The best FF IMO.

more than likely I will. No point passing it up at that price. Having finished 7 before 9 will have a tough time beating it to the best of the series for me but I'll enjoy it regardless

Been waiting for a price drop on the PSP version of IV. Finally get to play the epilogue.

funky penguin

GET THEM ALL!

FFs, I am trying to enjoy snake eater, but I can't!
The controls are just freaking horrible! . I feel like Dara O'briain playing mgs4!!!
Imposible to sneak on anything! The just hear you from a mile! Sensitivity is super high on thumb sticks. Is very hard to just walk slowly/sneak . Aiming with right trigger is just pain in a hole . No ability to remap buttons too.
I still can't get used to any camera. Was that top overview original camera?

For the last hour I am trying to fight 8 soldiers after you meet foxy lady. I can't even kill single one, witout setting of alarms on all of them. . They notice you and hear you from freaking 5 miles! I for remember it being so hard and shot when I first played mgs3 on ps2

Crouch-walking is usually quieter isn't it? Just tranquilise from afar!

Use the D-Pad to sneak. Much easier.

I find the games to be the exact same, very easy to hold up the guards and avoid detection. Loving them so far, was very surprised to find myself enjoying them after playing them to death years ago.

D pad? It swaps cemera amd do other **** random stuff... Thought if I hold left trigger it does sneak!!!

Though. I am still on same place after 20th death today I almost threw ps vita out of the window.
Sure I can just go and kill everything with me taking **** loads of damage. I will just run in to all of them and spam "O" button, but it will be just a fail of mgs. I want to do it at least semi stealthy, but I can't. Camera and controls just makes want to punch kittens . I am really getting old FFs... Back then I would have cleared whole game...

In the same boot myself the amount of times i died because of the controls is countless. MY biggest problem is shooting someone i have to enter FP every time to make sure i get there head
