What's Missing with the PSP?

CouchMercenaries.com - "The day I sold my PSP I vowed I would never buy one again. Bad games, bad load times, bad UMDs… the handheld was… well you get the idea. After it sat on my desk picking up dust for a few months, I found a poor sucker on EBay, made a quick profit and did what most gamers do, I bought myself a DS.

Well things seem to be changing."

Well I agree with the Play TV and Downloads items. I think that just makes sense. I am not sure I agree on the game types. I think the PSP is actually heading in the right direction now. the control setup of the PSP doesn't lend itself to the more mature FPS type games. The controls are ideal for platformers. Sony should continue to play to that strength and bring out more games that play well given the control scheme instead of trying to push games that don't work for the control scheme.

Just my two cents.

To regret ever buying a wii. I feel the same way about the wii as I did my PSP. NOTHING to play on that system but waggle games and ubiquitous mario IPs. I mean its ALL the same on Nintendo. My DS sees more action than the wii right now.

@ Wii60Fan
Have you played Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbarossa's treasure? It looks kiddy (and it kinda is) but the puzzles are amazing. it's so much fun. It's my most well spent money on a Wii game so far (not including SSBB). I still haven't beaten it though. I'm stuck on the last level and I don't want to cheat.

Sold my PSP a few weeks ago. Nothin to play: I am a huge MGS fan and not even the PSP ones could make me wanna keep it. :[

The PSP has some decent RPGs like Disgaea and Final Fantasy Tactics.Thats about the only thing I play on it

snakebite366438d ago

but there are still 2 final fantasy games and 2 kingdom hearts games coming out for psp.

I'd have to disagree on the whole download part. The games can be fairly large, over a GB, and the author argues that he's downloaded game demos bigger than that. Well that's great for him, but the PS3 and 360 have high capacity hard drives in them. The only optional memory solution on PSP? Flash memory sticks. To download multiple games onto these things you'd need a stick in excess of 8GB and those are still fairly expensive. I love my PSPs. That's right, I have two of them; one for homebrew and one for up to date, legal games. I have no problem carrying around a few UMDs, it's not like the things are all that big anyways. And the system has plenty of games to keep people interested. Quality RPGs routinely show up and MGS: Portable Ops is a great game unto itself.

Hack it, you can do so much more with it, including putting your UMD's onto the flash drive.
