speaking of FF7, Patapon is a really good game for PSP. there are different 4 beat patterns you must follow in order to advance in the game. for example, O,O,X,O will make your army attack anything it its way. O,[],O,[] will make you run away, /\,/\,[],O will make you defend, etc. There are different classes for your patapons such as archer, spearer, knight, horseman (they have random names ending in -pon, kibapon for example). and they each get different upgrades such as shields, weapons, armor. Ive been playing this game nonstop for a long time now. very fun indeed.

i always wanted DDR on the psp but thought it was impossible. UNTIL.....PSP:Revolution. www.pspr.us its pretty much a stepmania port for the PSP. runs great just the only problem i see with it is that songs do not load the videos corresponding to them. also it crashes the PSP sometimes depending on your version

It's called being a rotten piece of shit and stealing things.

EDIT: Man I really want to torrent this but my code of ethics is struggling to convince me otherwise guys I need help

Wait.... so you actually bought all those versions of RPGmaker?

Wait.... so you actually bought all those versions of RPGmaker?

Yes, I have bought the most recent two.  But I guess you've got me I didn't buy RPG Maker 2000 when I was like 16 and didn't care about these things and it sort of wasn't for sale in America anyway.

Has anyone tried out Wild Arms XF?

Yeah I bought it.  It's the sort of game that you really want to like because it's technically good and the maps always have clever hooks and you have lots of classes and everything.  However, it really just isn't any fun.  I keep going back to it because I keep remembering that its features describe an interesting game, but then when I'm playing it I realize that I am just getting bored and frustrated.  I can't really recommend it.

good thing you paid for it!  seriously, do you really feel good about buying a game only to try it and realize it's boring and terrible?

I don't know man pirating games just makes me feel rotten.  If I buy a game and then end up not liking it then whatever it's just a video game!  Anyway I'm going to stop preaching because it's actually pretty obnoxious so.

if you feel so strongly about this, how is it you can't trust yourself to download it, and delete it/buy it if you like it

From personal experience I cannot trust myself to buy it later!

Anyway Wild Arms XF isn't very good so you shouldn't play it.

I think I'll just download the soundtrack. The Wild Arms series has very very good music(IMO).

I just want to warn you guys I got some huge Virus's from PSPISO last month, just virus checked and traced them all back to the site, apparently when the site got hacked they just went through peoples accounts and I was one of them, so yeah.

Ok, so I finished Crisis Core, and I gotta say. MOST DEPRESSING ENDING EVER. I won't lie, I teared up. And the thing that got me the most was that the last thing on Zacks mind was Aeris. Right up  to the bitter end....

Final Fantasy 7 PSP has sucky mechanics

The slot machine is pretty stupid I agree.  However it isn't completely random and is actually scaled in a number of ways to try and be as similar to a straight experience system as possible.  Since you gained two levels in one battle through dumb luck, it would be a long time before you gained another one.  The longer you go without gaining a level, though, the more likely you are to gain one.  My problem with this system is that it is carefully designed to be just as much like a normal experience-based system as possible but with a ton of extra fluff to make it more mysterious.  Also about magic: Blizzard often misses mobile enemies but will always hit stationary ones.  Incidentally, it does a lot of damage.  So when an enemy is slow or not moving, you use blizzard, and if they are moving, you use thunder or fire.  I don't think elemental properties are very important in this game (if they exist at all) and rather your decision on which spell to use is based more on how the enemy behaves.

Personally I really like Crisis Core.  Action RPG battle systems usually suck compared to action games and this is no exception, but the story is serviceable as fanservice and it provides me with novel avenues to make my numbers go up so as far as games I play on the toilet go this is one of the best I've had in awhile.  I will never understand why games that have this much money thrown at them aren't refined to have tighter play mechanics like Devil May Cry or something like that.  They are content with very awkward systems that only work because the enemies are programmed to be nonreactive.  They could always make my character a little more agile and thereby make the game a lot more engaging, but they only want to go halfway.

I think crisis core is really boring since it's completely mash x. I'm pretty impressed with the graphics though.

I just wish the missions had been a bit more spread out (more chapters or story pieces, maybe?) so I don't feel obligated to do all 400 as soon as I get them in fear of missing something later.

Have the slowdown issues with emulating Persona 2 ever been sorted out? I've been considering buying a PSP just to replay Persona 2 (as I've never had the patience to unlock the EX dungeon) on the go.

From what I've read, no. That's an issue Sony is going to have to tackle, since it has nothing to do with custom firmware. Eventually it will get fixed, but it could be awhile.
I'd still buy a PSP by the way. I would even say that it's probably the best handheld ever made. Custom firmware just expands it even more.
