I have them on my PS2 and they're cheaper and better.

Maybe you should buy a handheld with a future.
 
wrong twisted metal and wipeout are easily the best in the series on psp

socom completely different game

hot shots, much better than fore or 3


but you know mario 64 was cool......back when the 64 released and it had good controls

why would you want outdated hardware. a poorly implemented online structure. horribly designed system whos best games are 2d games that couldve been done on the DS

Do you buy games that arent sequells or don't get really hyped here in the forums?


BTW get Castlevania DoS and Pheonix Wright. Everything else is crap until the likes of uncharted waters, jagged alliance and disciples come out for the ds.
 
dude, its an internet gaming forum, every decent game gets hyped. even shitty ones like advent rising. i get the good games, do i go out and get coded arms no, owning every system forces me to be selective. so when asked if there are must own games on the DS right now, id say no not really i only have 4

i did get castlevania and phoenix wright :lol wario ware and mario kart are the otehrs, im just dissapointed in the ds right now. nothing truly to get excited about on it until the new mario bros.

Yeah, the PSP does suck.

wow you really are clueless if you think those apply to the PSP

just keep throwing your money away. and while youre at buy 21321431439208 revisions of the same console
 
I've been playing a lot of Sonic Rush lately and it's pretty rad if you're into Sonic at all. The mid-run boost really helps the speed keep going.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish in this thread other than making yourself look like a complete moron/idiot/jackass/troll? Because that's all you're doing. This thread started off fine until your stupid ass showed up in here to derail it.

Are you out of movies to watch on your system?

I look forward to your reaction when Sony releases a revision. I'm sure things will be different then.

You know, mentioning braindead games like twisted metal is not exactly helping your argument.

Jesus christ one more whining about people trolling PSP threads and I'll start smashing my head against a wall.

The point is, how can you recommend a system with one original game and a bunch of "game 1.5's"? While i would agree with you about the DS, the PSP is in the same position..

I don't understand this, if the DS doesn't excite you then the PSP excites you, I want to know how? because apart from Loco Roco or Roco Loco I don't see any cool game coming for PSP down the line, while the DS has Pokemon Pearl/Diamond, New Super Mario Bros., Tetris DS, Metroid Hunters, Children of Mana, Tales of...(the one for the DS), Brain Age (and yes I'm actually looking forward to it) and I know I'm missing a few.

im not saying there isnt a lull on the psp right now, but at least the multimedia functionality is there to tide me over. all im trying to get across is that IMO there really isnt must own games for the DS right now.

as i said i own a ds so its not like im partial to one system which is different than 95% of the posters in this thread who bash the psp.

eventually all your favorite games are gonna be game 1.5's
look at all the great games this year RE4,MGS3,DMC3 ets. most were sequals to blockbusters save SOTC or GOW

And so we live in a time where PSP should never be mentioned in a DS thread, and vice-versa. And even in threads where multiple consoles are mentioned, it eventually leads to PSP vs. DS.

Already mentioned i'm sure, but it bears repeating...

Um RE4 was a dramatic turn around of the series that really gave life back to it. MGS3 and DMC3 aren't games i would tell someone to buy a system over. Nor are RE4, Gow and SoTC.

There were very few games that gave you that "new experience" feeling that you should get every gen. I felt that this gen was very dissapointing in giving that experience but i would be able to reccomend a system based on those games.

Notice how his PSP comrads have not come into the topic to help him counter argue. This is what I like to call a Kamikazee run. They know it's fake but for some reason you guys debate with him as if there is some sort of authenticity to his hijinks. He isn't trying to make sense or sound logical he is simply using the DS as spring-board to get a reaction out of DS supporters and in their eyes for very good reason. A lot of people on here feel that the DS community is becoming a little too cocky because it's world-wide success especially in Japan. So they feel the need to find any opportunity to f*ck with the DS crowd by not acknowledging how great of a hand-held it is becoming and argue the exact opposite even if the argument is paper thin or just plain nonsensical. It doesn't bother me because their arguments lack any merit whatsoever so I wouldn't even wast my time if I were you guys. It is probably very entertaining for his anti-ds buddies who presumably ghost the topic using it to self-justify how "ridiculous N-tards are" because they passionately defend their beloved DS and its library as if they aren't guilty of the same sin from time to time.

It all sounds completely ridiculous doesn't it? I mean why would people play this sort of retarded psychology over something as frivolous as videogames? There are tons of absurd reasons unfortunately.

Excuse my disability to overlook being :lol at and called a brainwashed dumbass for liking certain games.

The cocky behavior is only in peoples heads. Every "psp has no games" argument in the last 6 months was started by psp owners or supporters.

Jackass, the PS2 has 12 revisions, so shut up.

That's really fucking nice that you feel that way. But, why the fuck would you come into a thread where the OP is asking for a DS game recommendation and spread your shit? Isn't there enough sales threads where you could do this? Oh, wait...

The ironic thing is that in the last 2 generations of consoles, Sony is the only console manufacturer that released a revised console (PSone, PStwo)

Hey, I'm a fan of both systems. But, I think that the Nintendo fans have a right to feel proud, I guess. They took alot of shit when the PSP was announced and that takeover in sales early last year. Yet they took it. Now, it's the Sony fans feeling the heat, and some of them just can't take it.

As I've said all along, both systems can coexist because they are both very different. Sales attest to that fact. While the DS is very far ahead, the PSP is no slouch, especially with the really good titles starting to release. There is something for everyone. Deal with it haters.

And when the newcomer PS1 owned the N64.
And when the PS2 dominated the GC.
And when another newcomer named Xbox got ahead of the GC.

Just stating the facts.

Why didn't you read my whole point and reply to this one sentence. If you read everything I stated it becomes obvious that I don't support the belief that DS fans are too Cocky and need deflating from these inane counter-measures of trolling. I was just stating how you guys are unknowingly taking part in a song and dance that will later be used to further ridicule the DS fanbase. This is how they get their jollies.
 
Dodging insultful trolling trip mines left and right is not always easy. Not sure why it keeps slipping past moderation like that in regards to this topic.
 
i have a psp and a ds, i'm happy.

psp -> anime, mp3, lumines, ridge racers, wrc... that is all

ds -> ouendan, phoenix, advance wars, mario kart, animal crossing, sonic rush, castlevania, puzzle boble


and guess what? i'm mexican, my salary is half of what you guys earn flipping burguers/cleaning restrooms.

Don't come here with the "omg too expensive shit", cuz if i can have both, then you can too. Troll wars are just too stupid, play games, not consoles.

My DS is by far my favorite system since the SNES, and probably even moreso, but I don't think I'd say any games are "must-own" yet except for Advance Wars and Animal Crossing. Games like Mario Kart, Castlevania, Meteos, etc. approach "must-own" territory, but aren't there.

But then, I'm harsh. I'd say there are only two must-own games in the entire GBA library, three in the GC library ("quality, not quantity" should have been the motto for the GC, not the N64), one in the PSX library, one on the GB, none on the GBC, none on the NES, two on the N64, two on the SNES, none on the PS2, and none on the X-Box. So it's not like the DS is in any kind of bad shape for my standards. Actually, it's way ahead of the game considering how early it is in its lifespan.

I think this is what is making the DS so strong. The past few Nintendo systems have been characterized by one or two "must own" games a year, and a lot of filler crap in between. The DS is the first Nintendo system since the SNES that is getting a constant flood of quality software as opposed to one or two high profile releases. It's a welcome change. I think some of the DS games would feel more like "must own" software in the absence of the other games, but with such a large pool of entirely different quality titles available, it's hard to single out a best. People with varying tastes are finding completely different titles in the DS line up to latch on to, and Nintendo systems haven't recently had that kind of pull.

In the end though, I would indeed consider Ouendan to be the DS must have. The only reason someone should avoid it is if they absolutely hate rhythm games. Otherwise the game is on top of its genre, and worth the extra cash it costs to import.

To the topic starter, I also highly recommend Pheonix Wirght.

Agreed. It seems we get at least one good title a month, sometimes 2-3. Nothing is the OMG the DS title of the year. GCN and N64 were like that. 1-2 titles that defined the systrem that year. DS is defined by a stream of 10 or so excellent titles.

Nah, no need, she's around 180 pounds, i'm around 160. We're a "heavy" couple, and not one of us is cute, but we both are into anime/gaming/leather stuff.

I now have both so I'm the unbiased. Outside of playing Mega Man (which I have played 426178461259 times and just purchased Mega Man X Collection) and Exit, the PSP doesn't impress me one fucking bit. Hell I purchased the white one so I could at least have a system that looks cool and I can tell all my fucking customers that ask me questions while playing it I can't watch shitty UMDs on it.

PSP will have its day much like the DS we need to wait for developers to develop portable games for a portable console, not the other way around.

I read your post, and I understood it fully. Sometimes I forget that I'm on Sony-Age. If this situation was reversed and it was an N-fan trolling a PSP topic, that fan would be banned.

But, why should we dissapoint them, really? They have so little else to ridicule the N-fans about these days...
