If I were to buy a psp, what three games would you reccomend?

[cainx10a]

Too many to list. I will just mention some that I can still remember.

1. Killzone Liberation
2. Siphon Filter Series
3. Jeanne D'arc
4. Disgaea 1/2
5. Dissidia 012 ( Get this instead of the first - it actually contains the first game too )
6. Monster Hunter Series ( Wait for #3 to be released in english ... unless you can read japanese, go for it)
7. Metal Gear Solid ( A lot of them, get Peace Walker)
8. Phantasy Star Portable 1/2
9. Patapon ( One of the most unique games to have ever graced a video game console )
10. Valkyria Chronicles
11. God of War series

If you like Gundam or Macross and don't care about playing a japanese game (a.k.a import)
1. Gundam vs Gundam next plus
2. Macross Triangle Frontier
3. Gundam Assault Survive

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite/3

Patapon 1/2/3

And, to go off-board a bit, Sid Meier's Pirates! (if you can find it)

Tekken Resurrection, only reason to have a psp.

There are games for the PSP?

There are games for the PSP?

Really?

Really. The only one I can think of is Battlefront 2 and Little Big Planet.

This is about all I can expect from someone with a Pony-Hatsune Miku avatar.

Get out there and look around, games a' plenty !

YOur right. I forgot to mention VIrtual Diva 1 and 2 (If you live in japan... luck bastards!)

 

[TelHybrid]

Burnout Legends, Gitaroo Man Lives, Tekken Dark Resurrection... only ones I can remember off the top of my head.

Also check out the homebrew scene for it. Some fun stuff.

 

[Memor-X]

Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core, Dissida 012 Duodecim Final Fantasy (it also included a remade version of the first one so there's really no point in getting the first one) and Metal Gear AC!D 2 (because you fight 2 different Metal Gears, one of them isn't at the end)

ofcause you did say you wasn't a fan of JRPGs so insted of the 2 Final Fantasys i would suggest LittleBigPlanet and God of War

 

[Ickorus]

Metal Slug Anthology is a must, one of the best run and gun game series ever created and you get them all in one.


Another would be Lumines and I can't really think of a third since I don't really use my psp much at the moment.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is an amazing game, it's a game that rewards skill over button mashing. I don't know what genre to place it in, I think it's generally called the hunting genre for which it's pretty much the founder of. Look up some gameplay of it and see if you like it, I find it hard to describe.

Gods Eater Burst is another one I would tell you to get, it's pretty much Monster Hunter goes to anime, it's faster paced and a bit more forgiving but just as fun to me, it'd different enough from Monster Hunter to warrant getting it.

And the last is Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy, It's an amazing 3D fighter with a lot of RPG elements. It's based off Final Fantasy but it's not really a JRPG, as I said, 3D fighter.

I wanted to keep this post short so I didn't gush on about how the games are, look up some gameplay footage if you are interested in any of them.

Edit: as people have said, PS1 classics are an amazing thing as well, sure you can get them on the PS3 or PS1 but it's really cool to play like, Parasite Eve on the go. (on that note I also recommend 3rd Birthday!)

I second all of these. I haven't played Gods Eater Burst, but I've heard it's pretty fun. Monster Hunter has to be one of my favorite games of all time, so I'm a little biased... but it's just... awesome. If you're up for a challenge that will more than likely suck 200+ hours of your life away. I have around 200 hours where I am in Freedom Unite, and I'm only rank 4. Out of 9. >.>

Patapon!
or Patapon 2
.... that's really all i can remember woning, though I have like 5... OH! Rachet and Clank isn't too bad if you're a fan of platformers.

 

[DeltaEdge]

I almost cried when you specifically singles out that you don;t like the tales of series. Um, I don't think Monster Hunter is a JRPG but then again I'm not that great with genres.

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

Psps are dirt cheap right now so what games would suggest?

Edit: not a big fan of jrpgs excluding the Tales Of series

Ocarina of time 3D, MGS3DS (when it comes out), and animal crossing

You may notice, those are all DS games. THat's because you should buy a ds instead of a psp, because everything on the psp is either shit or much better on a real platform.

I used to play psp games, but then i took....it to gamestop to pay for bf3.

Before this though, i really enjoyed the gran turismo title, battlefront 2 is dated but still an amazing multiplayer shooter with a few players online at anytime. gta titles are also worth their weight in gold.

also... PATA PATA PATAPONNNN!!!

 

[Lord RPGs]

I'd say "Monster Hunter Freedom 2" (it's the one I have, alright), "Valkyria Chronicles" (be it 1 or 2), and "Final Fantasy Tactics: War Of The Lions". MHF2 is worryingly deep and intricate and quite amazing, VC has fantastic tactics, and FFT:WotL has (pretty much) everything that's good about Final Fantasy, converted into a not-JRPG format so you can actually enjoy it. Seriously, the Tactics series I like better than the main FF games.

Really. The only one I can think of is Battlefront 2 and Little Big Planet.

I've got one but the only game I can think of, that is good, is the loco roco series

Well I know I'm not OP, but I'm totally going to get a PSP before the year is out, all these games sound awesome

thanks Escapist!
