[quote name='Brak']If PSP Go downloads are $30 - $40 a title, they can Go fuck themselves.[/QUOTE]
You'll be lucky if they are $5 cheaper. Any cheaper and retailers will start bitching again.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']Any Wipeout HD players: So to restore your shields you just have to pick up a weapon and not fire it?[/QUOTE]

Basically, you also have to press something to get it to restore your shield. I think it's down on the d-pad, but its been a while since I've played.

This.

This x2

I'm playing Battlefield: Bad Company. I played most of the first mission awhile ago, and I'm getting back to it now.
It seems pretty darn short, considering I only have 3 missions to go...
 
Super reply time!

[quote name='pete5883']Doesn't the 3000 have something wrong with its screen?[/QUOTE]Some game show slight scanlines, but for the most part, the 3000 has the best screen until the Go is released.

[quote name='jer7583']There's zero reason to get a PSP go if you already know how to use your current PSP's full potential. You never have to have the UMDs with you anyway.[/QUOTE]How do I make my current PSP as compact as the Go?
For me, that's the only reason I'd consider getting one.

[quote name='Chibi_Kaji']You'll be lucky if they are $5 cheaper. Any cheaper and retailers will start bitching again.[/QUOTE]Yeah, I can't see them being that much cheaper than the UMD version of the game.
They'd have to go DD only for some kind of discount.

Look at the new NIS game "Holy Invasion...etc" which was $29.99, but they've since dropped the UMD version ala Patapon 2 and it's now $19.99.

[quote name='seanr1221']If games are 15.00 - 20.00 I'd pick one up on the cheap.[/QUOTE]That's about how much the current older titles are on the store.
 
Even $20 seems too much when it's really easy to buy most 1-2 year old PSP UMD games for $10-15, and they're doing nothing but delivering you data.

It would at least help justify the high price of the hardware if most of the back catalog was $10-15 and new games were $30.
 
:cool: I'm just hoping Sony will send me a PSP GO. I definitely want one, but don't want to pony up the cash for it.

Agreed. Good point.

[quote name='depascal22']Ehhh, looks like I'll be done with the PSP once they stop making UMDs. It's a damn shame too.[/QUOTE]

They wont. They are going to have an easy way to transfer UMD's to your PSP.
 
It was just the wrong time to release a new PSP. The regular PSP was starting to pick up steam, all the new games they announced at E3 were pushing the hype for the system the first time since launch, then BAM! $250 for a new system that is not much of an improvement at all. Not to mention that this first foray into a pure digital download system will be slow to start.

Maybe Sony's current craziness will pay off in the future. The leading company always changes hands and good ol' conservative Nintendo will probably drop the ball next gen.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']Any Wipeout HD players: So to restore your shields you just have to pick up a weapon and not fire it?[/QUOTE]


Circle.

Looking forward to the Fury pack.

Demon Souls really sounds like the type of game I want... coming from a guy who thoroughly loves the abuse from Monster Hunter and Valhalla Knights, it's a game right up my alley.
 
I was all SHIT! LET'S KILL SOME DRAGONS!

And the game was all LOADING SCREEN LOADING SCREEN THE DRAGON KNOCKED YOU OVER

And I was all I DONT THINK I SHOULD HAVE PAID FULL PRICE FOR THIS WITHOUT DOING MORE RESEARCH!
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']I tried so hard to like Monster Hunter but I couldn't find the fun. :([/QUOTE]
Yea, I thought the idea was cool. But the execution was too Japanese which results in dull moments...

There's pretty much no loading int he new version... hot stuff!


also, fuck yeah! (skip the first few mins)

Yeah, I tried the demo and wasn't a fan of chasing a dragon all across the map through the separate areas. I'd rather play Phantasy Star Portable than Monster Hunter FU.
 
I loved MH on the PS2. I put over 300 hours into it. The main reason I haven't gotten it on the PSP is all the hurdles that need to be jumped through to get it online. Online play is where this game shines. Why is it not there out of the box like it was on the PS2?

Do you know if the Phantasy Star demo has coop available?
 
[quote name='dallow']Damn, can't wait.
Looks like Atlus will spoil the game too with goodies.

Pretty informative interview here, details the 3 player co-op and such.
Slight spoiler about the very first tutorial in the game, but eh, it's ok.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/52089.html[/QUOTE]

If atlus brings it over with goodies I would be completely pumped. The atlus spoils are part of what push me to buy games that I am undecided about.
 
Played one more of MadWorld just now. I ran across these Orbs I have to get for a Challenge for the first time, but I don't know how to don't know how to do those challenges or where to find them.

Each level isn't taking me particularly long to complete either. 10-12 minutes at most for each level, which is pretty disappointing considering how many levels there are. I kinda wish the game had a true fixed camera instead of just putting it behind you all the time. It gets pretty annoying, especially when you want to lock-on to a boss.

Am I enjoying it? Sure. But I wish the camera wasn't where it was.
 
Phantasy Star Portable is good, but my main complaint is that it treads some bad ground that MHFU stays away from somehow in terms of repetitiveness.

For some reason I think the equipment setup has a longer value and lifespan than leveling up primarily in Phantasy Star.

I'm not bashing PhantasySP, but it's no where as balanced or has as long of legs as MHF does.

I will say though that I do think Capcom is still stupid for at least not having online integrated for the US version. It's doable, it's just that ... well, no excuse to be honest.
 
So...If I absolutely despise Far Cry Instincts, is there any chance I'll like Far Cry 2?
I ask because it only cost me $15 in the first place (FC2) and I can trade it in along with End War for a full cover of Prototype.
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']Okay, Three Leaf Clover, here we go.[/QUOTE]

Done! And after over thirteen months I have all islands unlocked.

I think some yard sales have popped up along my jogging route this weekend so hopefully I can hit them up tomorrow to see if they have any games/DVDs.

FC2 is alright... a little dull. I have it on PC and it looks gorgeous but it is way to console-ee. Eh, not worth it.

What game should I play next?
-Get last two trophies in inFamous
-Get last trophy (beat it on Very Hard) in Uncharted 1
-Uncharted 2 Beta
-Resistance 2
-Dead Space
-Fable 2
-COD:WAW
-GUN (360)
-King Kong (360)

*shrug*
 
[quote name='VipFREAK']Red Faction is surprisingly refreshing, love it.[/QUOTE]


after I played the demo a month ago I really wanted to play it... been waiting for GF to send it to me though... I'm in no hurry.

the co-op show did a nice overview of it alongside Prototype and inFamous

Play Dead Space. If by any chance you looked at that TOP 10 360 Games thread, you'll notice I put it as my #3.
It's fucking awesome.
Then play GUN. It's short and dumb, but good western fun. Fable 2 is good as well, but a little repetitive.
 
[quote name='VipFREAK']There's Co op?[/QUOTE]

I think he's talking about some sort of podcast type show thing. I have no idea what they're called, lol.
 
lol, oh... right. Still bummed about it not having co-op... come on, it's 2009. Or at least something like RSV T-hunt. I guess it's because it's thrid person.

Ok, you win. Haha. My goal is to finish Dead Space by tomorrow!

:applause::applause:
Have you already started? The whole game took me around 9.5 hours, if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, Dead Space for sure.
Then Fable. I've heard good things about Uncharted 2, so give that a whirl. CoD: WaW is solid, but not as good as MW.

Ditch Resistance 2 and KK (unless you want easy achievement pts), GUN is okay.
