You can always sign up using media go, but there really isn't much reason not to update any more. If an official sony update bricks your PSP then that's a fun case for their support that will probably end with you getting a new PSP.

Yay posted:I just purchased a PSP (3004), and it's got firmware 6.39 on it, which was the last one I was even aware of, in a peripheral sense. Turns out I can't sign up for PSN, or open the store because it's not running the newest, 6.60 version. There is really little to no chance of it bricking, outside of it losing power or something during the upgrade. Just make sure the battery is sufficiently charged and it's also plugged into a power outlet. You can even run custom firmware on 6.60 if you choose.

Plus, the game focuses on that a solid chapter out of five. PLUS: Right in the very first chapter you find the bucket she will eventually end up having used right next to the starting point of the game, have it highlighted in the second chapter and in the third one then you have her exclaiming she has to go right next to the bucket; which then leads to you walking AWAY to find a toilet. So it's not even a question of "Where the hell do i find a working toilet?" but more of a "How many more unusable toilets will i have to discover unusable before resolving this retarded situation?" The little fact that in ingame time this takes at least 2-3 hours and still isn't resolved doesn't help either. It's just extremely loving mindbending, even more so than the gruesome deaths.

She never uses the bucket. I guess you could consider it a red herring? I'm not really sure why they put such a focus on finding a toilet, though. I guess it gives you a short-term goal to focus on while you slowly work on your long-term goals of finding your friends and escaping. (Both of which the game constantly hammers into you as being impossible) They could have come up with something less ridiculous to fulfill that purpose, though.

Can anybody recommend me some of the better PSP games? I don't like anything that heavily uses the analog stick though (like Jak and Daxter, etc). I've played Patapon (the original) but not much of 2 or 3. I've also beaten Jeanne D'Arc (AMAZING GAME) as well as Final Fantasy Tactics (for the Nth time). I was thinking about Half Minute Hero and Persona 3 Portable but a 30 hour RPG is long for me so I'm not sure about an 80+ hour one, heh.

Half Minute Hero is excellent and good if you can only play in short bursts. P3P is excellent as well, but you can save a lot in the game... I've been playing Driver 76 on the PSP. Good fun, I think. Can't think of any other one right off the top of my head.

Without an analog stick, I've loved: Pixeljunk Monsters Deluxe BlazBlue Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles Gran Turismo PSP (yeah, I like the dpad better. I use a wheel for GT5.) Hot Shots Tennis Field Commander Monsters is a great version of the PS3 game. 20+ hours of content. BlazBlue is a well-made Arc System Works fighting game. Sounds are a little lo-fi on PSP but an otherwise great port. Dracula X: play the remake a bit to unlock Symphony of the Night. I played the poo poo out of SOTN (again) and then discovered the Dracula X remake is pretty drat good in its own old-school way. The secrets are different from the original Dracula X I believe (which is also hidden in the game). Gran Turismo PSP: basically a choose-your-own-adventure racing game. No career mode, just licenses and design your own races. Graphics are gorgeous. Only three opponents in each race which pissed a lot of people off. Hot Shots Tennis: silly rpg mode, but control is great. You can just play regular exhibition matches too. I've oddly played this more than anything probably. I severely dislike the doll-dressing feature, but the gameplay is solid. Field Commander: like Advance Wars or Military Madness or UniWar or whatever. Turn-based tactical game. High production values, well-balanced.

I'll vouch for Half Minute Hero, definitely one of the best RPGs the system has, and since you seem to be into SRPG's, I'll add Yggdra Union. The game system is just so much fun, definitely different from turned based SRPG's but still good. edit: and do yourself a favour and grab Front Mission 3 from the PSN store.

If you liked Final Fantasy Tactics you should play Tactics Ogre. It is a very long game, though.

Persona 3 Portable is easily the best title I've played on my PSP, it's hard to overrecommend it. I picked up Valkyria Chronicles II last week for a road trip and have been really enjoying it, the $22.49 bundle with a truckload of DLC is a pretty good deal. If you don't mind a little more SRPG goodness, it's worth a look.

Half-Minute Hero should be an instant buy for anyone with a PSP. It's excellent. P3P is the only JRPG that's managed to keep me interested for more than a handful of hours. This is coming from the guy who got burnt out on Chrono Trigger.

If you want a lighter JRPG I'd recommend PoPoLoCrois. It's really cheap on UMD nowadays. I got it for $5 and it's easily one of my favourite PSP titles.

The Badman series (ending with No Heroes Allowed) is a pretty good pick-up-and-play game but it can be loving frustrating at times and at times a little bad luck can make you want to hurl your PSP at the closest hard surface.

They're based on random chance enough that there is no way in hell I'll ever be able to play decently. gently caress, I barely passed the tutorial in the demo for the first one.

I feel like the only person on earth who has completed every mission in every Badman title. I love those games and will most likely be picking up a Vita to play the next installment. The aptitude tests in Badman 3 are a great way to learn about the more advanced game mechanics, but if you're having difficulties with the various tutorials it's probably safe to just not bother with the games at all. They definitely aren't for everyone. #1 Tip: Obese Lizardmen will pretty much make a joke out of any set of heroes and are the easiest mutation to force to occur. e: The first game is also a lot harder than necessary almost entirely because you face the full set of heroes in a single dungeon that you have to work very hard at not completely emptying by the home stretch. I found Badman 1 a lot easier after having gone back to it when I had played through Badman 2 some. Emalde fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Dec 14, 2011 |

Mithaldu posted:If you'd feel like it, i'd love to see an LP of it, or at least some walkthroughs of levels that try to explain how to play it. An LP would be great since I really want to show off the series, but my computer isn't good enough to record PSP footage. All of the tutorials for the first game that I linked to in the thread (before it died, rip) are still on youtube, but the later games do much better jobs of walking you through the basic and advanced techniques in their relevant tutorials. The one thing I've never been able to do properly in regular levels in Badman 2-3 is summon a Mara. Mana is really quite finicky and to somehow spawn a rune that has 0 nutrients and 15+ mana and then get a hero to walk directly over it 2+ times is just something that doesn't happen very much at all. Mara are ridiculous juggernauts but summoning them is extremely difficult and Obese Lizardmen usually get the job done just as well (if not faster).

When the next title is released, it might be a good opportunity to create a Badman thread with tutorials about how not to suck at Badman. I'd certainly be interested myself, as to date, by biggest achievement is beating the first set of missions in Badman 3. The games really do make you feel retarded.

I'll have to look into the Badman games... they LOOK very interesting but also confusing. Also, how long are some of the better PSP RPGs? For example, how long is PoPoLoCrois, Trails in the Sky, and Persona 3 Portable? I'd really like to play P3P but I've heard it's 80+ hours and it sometimes takes me weeks even to finish a 10 hour game (due to family, kids, work, etc) so I would like that P3P would take me darn near a year and that's if I didn't even play anything else! (I used to really love RPGs though so that makes it even more difficult now that I don't have the time to really play them...)Half Minute Hero seems to fit my game length criteria pretty good though, heh.

Persona 3 Portable is likely to take you around 90-110 hours your first time if you don't know what you're doing. You can whittle down a New Game+ playthrough to about 70 hours if you fast forward through cutscenes, but it's a very hefty game.

Just dug out my PSP to check, my final save game of my first playthrough clocked in at 73 hours and 1 minute. I went in blind never having played a Persona game before and didn't use any FAQs/etc aside from messing around with fusion combinations at the end. A good 20 hours of that was just trying to fuse crazy unnecessary stuff towards the end. Best game I've played in years on any system. P3P alone justified the PSP purchase.

I had never played a SMT game before, and my first Persona 3 Portable save was between 70 and 80 hours. I even did nearly every one of Elizabeth's requests, and leveled to 90 and fused Messiah. I also didn't use a guide beyond a little bit of fusion stuff at the end. It's a long game, but if you don't care too much about doing requests or leveling enough to fuse the best Personas, you can easily beat it in under 70 hours your first time.

Yeah, 90-110 hours is an insane overshoot for P3's playtime. I'm sure that's what they printed on the box, but I don't know of anyone who took that long to beat the game unless they loved setting the game down to do other stuff and let the game clock keep going.
