Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, which is a nice 3D remake of one of the better classic vanias, Rondo of Blood. An updated version of Symphony of the Night is an unlockable in the game (as well as the original Rondo) so this is a great way to experience both games if you haven’t already.

god of war (2 games)

sleepybisexual OP ,

How do I get into the series, I’m a Nintendo kid but wanna try the series

ReeferPirate ,

Assention is the first game chronologically in the story followed by chains of Olympus. Those are the PSP entries. Get em and go.

sleepybisexual OP ,

K. So you aren’t meant to start with god of war for ps2?

Oki

toxicbubble420 ,

you’ll miss some references but the prequels have a separate story from the trilogy

sleepybisexual OP ,

So I’m good, now to figure out how to do that quick time event

Patapon

The soundtrack to that game got burned in my head forever…

Pata pata pata pon. Dunka dunka dunka don. Pon pon pata pon.

kratoz29 ,

Same for me, I have only beaten the first title, and I struggled a lot, I think the latter titles are even harder… Oh boy.

Final fantasy 1-4 (the qol changes are great and the music was gorgeous). You can’t go wrong with the GTA games. God of war games were also super fun.

Maybe check out a walkthrough or guide? Been a long time since I played gow1. But iirc you have to climb up the boxes near their head (after they’ve been knocked out) and jump on the platform that has an anchor attached to it.

sleepybisexual OP ,

Oh ok

AceFuzzLord ,

This series ain’t for everyone, but I personally like the Hatsune Miku Project Diva rhythm games and recommend them since I like the variety of songs they have.

TheOakTree ,

My personal must-play PSP titles:

  • Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
  • Patapon 2/3
  • Lumines
  • Wipeout Pure
  • Gran Turismo
  • MGS: Peace Walker
  • Tekken 6

METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER

@all-knight-party@kbin.run avatar

Seconding. It's rather easy since the levels have to be so small for the PSP, but goddamn it it's a fun game.

Throwing in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (has an English patch), Rengoku 2 (sort of action looter dungeon crawler where youre a robot and the loot replaces your arms and head and shit with weapons).

SOCOM tactical strike is one I rather enjoy, the Armored Core games as well.

sleepybisexual OP ,

I wanna get into metal gear, where do I start?

gamermanh ,

Big metal gear fan here, prepare for what might be a bit much:

There are a couple of good startig points depending on what you as a gamer want, and I’ll try to explain them without spoiling things because figuring out MGS is part of the fun (I’m quite proud that I have an encyclopedic level knowledge of this stupid series)

Metal Gear 1 (MSX) - Either grab an emulator or a copy of MGS3 remake and you can play the very first game in the series. It’d get reconned massively but playing it still gives you the info you need to understand basically all the background story. But, tbh, it’s not a very fun game and if you don’t want to play it having someone like me explain the story to you would work just as well

Metal Gear Solid (PSX) - The first 3D game in the series (solid) and where a lot of us started. Probably the most common starting point and I would likely recommend it as the best. Won’t say too much cuz it’s better to go in blind.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - The earliest game in the timeline, so starting here with Naked Snake (big boss) would let you see the series unfold chronologically, but you’ll also have plot points from later games spoiled and explained before you get to them, ruining the effect somewhat I’d say.

MGS1 is likely the best bet. MG1 is good if you can handle what it is, worth giving it a shot at least. MGS3 is good, too, if you’re more concerned than the one 5about understanding the series without needing to replay the games after beating them all so you can see how shit connected.

As for which games you need to play, some aren’t canon, so just avoid: MG1&2 on the NES, Twin Snakes remake on GC, the GBA game, and Acid! The details of Portable Ops aren’t canon, but the general story is, that one is up to you if you wanna play it, I think peace walker is so much better that it’s a skip, personally.

Always down to answer questions or discuss MGS if you need it, shits amazing

sleepybisexual OP ,

Which platform is the first one, the only mg game I played is the GBC one, and well, its either very hard or I suck at it

gamermanh ,

I listed the consoles next to the games (forgot MGS3, which is PS2 originally)

MSX is an old Japanese computer, and why I recommended emulation or the copy that comes with MGS3s remakes

PSX is the original PlayStation

If you found the GBC one hard then the very first Metal Gear on MSX will be even worse. MGS1 shouldn’t be too bad, though.

sleepybisexual OP ,

Yea, prolly wind bother with msx

ProdigalFrog , (edited )

You’re not missing much. I would honestly just stick with the order in which they were released, starting with Metal Gear Solid 1 on the ps1. It holds up well.

I personally disliked mgs2 a lot, but found 3 to be fantastic. 4 I also disliked for story which just draaaags, and 5 has the most fluid gameplay, which I did find fun, but the story was pretty meh on that one, and it ends pretty jarringly since they fired the creator mid production.

If you want just the highlights, play 1, 3, and 5.

The two PSP games are chronologically after mgs3, so I’d recommend playing that first to get the most out of them.

Mgs5 is basically a direct sequel to peacewalker on the PSP.

knokelmaat ,

I also recommend Metal Gear Solid 1, it’s a fantastic game and it works well on PSP!

DoucheBagMcSwag , (edited )

Syphon Filter Dark Mirror and *Logan’s Shadow… …*if you don’t mind unfulfilled endings and enjoy the gameplay

God Eater

Ghost in the Shell: The standalone Complex (play with vita or emulation for dual stick controls)

Coded Arms (play on vita or emulation to have dual controls)

Super Stardust Portable

Pursuit Force and it’s sequel Extreme Justice

Elkenders ,

I have a vita and I’m intrigued about the dual controls. Remapping to the second analogue stick?

DoucheBagMcSwag , (edited )

Yes exactly. You need the app adrenaline though…and of course to hack it. With the Vita being EOL, there’s no legal downside or moral area

Elkenders ,

I have a retroid pocket 3+ which I prefer for PSP emulation but I do have Adrenaline on my Vita.

zagaberoo ,

Work Time Fun is a sort of strung-out Wario Ware that I really enjoyed back in the day. If you like minigames, trinkets, and grinding, then check it out.

Ketram ,

If you like ARPGs, I remember enjoying Untold Legends a lot as a kid. Was a PSP launch title, and had a very dark themeing. I don’t know if my kid memory can be trusted on the quality but I’ve seen a few other people recommend it on here so I doubt it’s bad.

gamermanh ,

Weird that nobody mentioned the GTA games on PSP

Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories are absolutely awesome GTA games somehow squeezed onto the PSP

sleepybisexual OP ,

Downloaded vice stories, is there an order to play them

NecroMemories ,

they’re just prequels really, I can’t remember anything groundbreaking. It’d /maybe/ be better to play 3 and vice city first, but it’s mostly just callbacks. Liberty city stories protag is just a quest giver. Neither super spoils the other but I might be wrong.

sleepybisexual OP ,

K

NecroMemories ,

They have a crisp cubish feel which was fun, I remember playing around with mods

t3rmit3 , (edited )
  • Mana Khemia: Student Alliance (really one of my highest recommendations, not just even on PSP. The best “magic school” game out there, imho)
  • Metal Gear AC!D
  • Patapon
  • Pixel Junk: Monsters
  • Neverland Card Battles
  • Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
  • Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
  • Aegis Eclipse: Generation of Chaos
  • PoPoLoCrois
  • Dynasty Warriors 2
  • Lunar: Silver Star Story

Honestly, I could do an entire separate comment of just RPGs, there were SO many good ones for PSP.

Are action RPGs okay? If so, Ys: Oath in Felghana. It’s a remake of Ys III, which is also available on other platforms. However! The PSP version has features that other platforms do not, the main two being voice acting (other ports just have beeps when text is displayed) and a whole new mechanic, which is reminiscent of Final Fantasy’s Limit Breaks.

One potential caveat, though: this is probably the hardest entry in the series. Fights are hard, but never cheap. If you’re okay with that, you should have a good time.

sleepybisexual OP ,

Sounds fun :3

Aaaa choice paralysis
