It rawks. Why did I buy a DS

demi · « **Reply #1 on:** February 11, 2007, 02:47:33 PM »

Yeah, I wish I had a bigger memory stick. For now it's either 2-3 smaller games, or one big game. I want 2-3 BIG GAMES

Denial is the first step to accepting death. And PSP is definitely dead

Didn't Willco just get a PSP? Give him 2-3 months, he'll come back around.

Himu · « **Reply #4 on:** February 11, 2007, 03:49:36 PM »

Are you fucking stupid, Willco? DS kicks ass, psp or not. I remember him a week ago: "convince me to buy a psp!" why should anyone have to convince you if you've already flip flopped this fast, Willco?

Come the fuck on, chief.

Beezy · « **Reply #5 on:** February 11, 2007, 03:54:58 PM »

Like I said give him 2-3 months. Right now he's like a kid with a new toy.

There's games on the PSP?

It's a great media player!

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #8 on:** February 11, 2007, 04:32:24 PM »

Actually, I'm not so sure the DS has a better library anymore $:-\$

Saint Cornelius · « **Reply #9 on:** February 11, 2007, 04:56:41 PM »

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #10 on:** February 11, 2007, 04:57:17 PM »

i have thirty-something PSP games in my permanent library, and have additionally sold back about that many after enjoying them. The DS? I have 10 games I haven't traded in, although I'm gonna go snag Children of Mana again.

different strokies for different folkies i guess

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #13 on:** February 11, 2007, 05:05:31 PM »

why can't you have both? Clubhouse Games rocks and I still hold you in sexy regard for that recommendation

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #14 on:** February 11, 2007, 05:06:17 PM »

I do love me some Clubhouse Games.

demi · « **Reply #16 on:** February 11, 2007, 05:11:35 PM »

Good list so far--

Lumines
Killzone Liberation
Mega Man Powered Up (Robby sends me custom levels :wub)
Burnout Legends
SNES Emulator
NES Emulator
Genesis Emulator

Stank list so far--

Pirates
Astonishia Story
Blade Dancer
Dead to Rights Reckoning

Undecided so far--

Metal Gear Ac!d (only did 1 mission, got kinda overwhelmed with the system, I should have the hang of it)
Tokobot (veering towards stank)
Exit (meh, its only a 69MB file, but its pretty boring)

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #17 on:** February 11, 2007, 05:14:11 PM »

what makes Killzone Liberation good? gimme the dope, dope. Everyone tells me it's fun, but, y'know, Killzone $:-\$

demi · « **Reply #18 on:** February 11, 2007, 05:16:31 PM »

It reminds me a lot like Future Cop LAPD. I like(d) that game.

It even has these little challenges you do, and earn medals, if you earn enough points you get upgrades like more grenades, healing, faster disarming of bombs. Kinda like achievements. It has online too, but I beat it and I think that's good enough for me.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #19 on:** February 11, 2007, 05:18:22 PM »

does it have really satisfying explosions and lots of cool weapons?

demi · « **Reply #20 on:** February 11, 2007, 05:19:37 PM »

Hm, not really. You can choose what weapon you want to start the level with depending on the scenario, but I usually go with the Shotgun because you can run up and blast them up front, then melee them into submission.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #21 on:** February 11, 2007, 05:20:35 PM »

pass. achievements don't do it for me. graphics first; THEN a sense of accomplishment.

Drinky you bought Lego Star Wars II for PSP.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #24 on:** February 11, 2007, 05:53:51 PM »

oh yeah, that was really good if really easy.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #25 on:** February 11, 2007, 06:05:02 PM »

Drinky, you can grab the Killzone PSP demo right off of the Killzone or PSP site now. It's a pretty good measure of the game.

Willco get Maverick Hunter X. Shit, all the Capcom games on PSP seem great.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #28 on:** February 11, 2007, 09:43:58 PM »

Yeah, I'll eventually get them. I'm not made of money, especially right now. I just used gift cards and birthday funny money to get the PSP along with a 1GB stick, Pirates! and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops.

Vizzys · « **Reply #29 on:** February 11, 2007, 10:39:38 PM »

Only get maverick hunter x if you hate classic gaming.

Hey guys I got a new toy so it's now the best thing ever for a couple more months until I no longer feel the need to justify my purchase.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #33 on:** February 12, 2007, 09:09:30 PM »

Hey Drinky, I saw Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth on sale at eb games for less than $20. Worth a flyer? I've never played the original.

y2kev · « **Reply #34 on:** February 12, 2007, 09:52:45 PM »

Demi, KZ: Liberation has great explosions. And you have your standard affair of machine guns, sniper rifles, missile launchers, etc. Grenades...

there's lots of explosions! It's a great game.

Has an old-school top down vibe kinda. Great game. Great graphics. Fun.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #35 on:** February 12, 2007, 10:34:23 PM »

Yeah, Killzone: Liberation was a fun demo. The visual seemed a little grainy, though. And I think I should check out multiplayer.

can you share games with other PSP owners like you can with the DS? or does everyone who wants to play a local game of whatever need to have their own copy of the game?

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #45 on:** February 15, 2007, 01:51:47 PM »

Corny, yeah, the PSP supports game sharing. A lot of the classics collections support it, too.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #46 on:** February 15, 2007, 02:13:13 PM »

I decided to play Yoshi's Island DS bonus levels (they are fucking hard) last night. It was the first time I played DS since getting the PSP, and - holy crap! - does the DS screen seem so small after a good dose of PSP usage. The real estate feels like two of the DS screens put together.

I like my DS for Clubhouse Games, Tetris, Mario mascot hijinks, Mega Man (there are no good ones on PSP), Caslevania and Final Fantasy III. Nobody can take that away

Himu · « **Reply #47 on:** February 15, 2007, 02:14:53 PM »

On the max setting it is easily brighter than my PSP.

Edit: I see you meant size, that never really was a problem to me. The clarity and brightness of PSP compared to DS fatty made DS painful to play till DS Lite came out though.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #52 on:** February 23, 2007, 12:13:08 PM »

The PSP is still better. The contrast is better and the resolution is way higher, and that's not even mentioning the size!

I kind of want Super Paper Mario though.

I found the GCN and N64 ones boring but 2d platformers are nice. I fear it will end up being more rpgy than a platformer when reviews come out.
