Board 8 > looking for ps3/psp game recommendations

(+) Yeah! (+)

because buying consoles toward the end of the generation and playing catchup is the only way to game

my ps2 collection should give you a decent idea of what kind of taste i have - http://www.backloggery.com/games.php?user=Embok&console=PS2 but in general i'm an rpg guy with the occasional action game thrown in

there are a bunch of things i vaguely remember being interested in like valkyria chronicles, 3d dot game heroes, etc. but it would take too long to list them all and the list would be incomplete anyway. just throw titles at me (and a brief description if you're feeling generous) and i'll check them out

thanks

I had fun with Metal Gear Acid for the PSP. Mainly because the story was a mindscrew

Fate/Extra is also good

--
We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable

i am enjoying trails in the sky: legend of heroes on the PSP. it's a little slow to start, but it draws you in.

and yeah, valkyria chronicles. maybe check out nier and folklore, as well.

huh i didn't realize vesperia ps3 came out in north america. not that it would be a problem if it hadn't.

what does the 'f' mean - is there another tales of graces game before or it or something?

ToGf is an enhanced port.

Persona 3 Portable. Worth it even if you've played P3/FES.

Vesperia isn't out in North America on the PS3. Graces f is an enhanced PS3 port since it was originally on the Wii. I think the f stands for future since it has another story arc after the main game ends.

Also, I was gonna say Persona 3 Portable because I just started that, but you've already played those. So... Prinny! Dissidia!

ah. what is your region? it just seems weird that someone would recommend a game that's only out in japan (and korea apparently)

also are you an alt or someone new from the last two years? i can't say i remember you

MZero11 posted...


i can't remember. i think it's just something i was playing a bit at a time and eventually never went back to

keep in mind i haven't really finished many games in the past couple years at all so it's not something about katamari specifically.

neat. i can (mostly) read japanese and anything i can't read will be good practice, so yeah feel free to completely disregard region issues

are you familiar with shining hearts at all by the way?

Yeah the anime is what has me interested in it, but it doesn't exactly give a good indication of what to expect in terms of gameplay. I assume it's supposed to be an RPG, not a bread baking simulator.

Asura's Wrath is a must play for any anime enthusiast being the first ever interactive anime

Little Big Planet (maybe)

PSP:
KH: BBS
P3P

oh right you were watching macross frontier weren't you? a 9 huh. i'll take it

why aren't you watching rock lee and saint seiya omega

Rock Lee I'm going to wait until its over to watch. I just didn't feel like picking it up to replace Bleach.

the other I can add that to my recommendation list if you'd like. Everything I watch that isn't a weekly show that I'm already watching is determined by randomly picking from that list

I'm not sure what to think about the Atelier games. Iris and Mana Khemia were good but the impression I get is that they're hardly traditional. I did buy one for the DS, Annie IIRC? I should probably actually play it before buying any more from the franchise.

fate/extra is pretty good

It's an RPG that has an FFX-ish battle system with some light strategy elements mixed in and it's all ~ and stuff.

You know, stuff that you're into.

It's kinda slow paced, though.

Atelier Rorona/Totori/Meruru are definitely not traditional RPGs and focus more on item crafting than exploration or battles. That being said, Totori is one of the best jRPGs for the PS3, and Rorona isn't that bad either.

You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

For the PSP, you should check out Yggdra Union. It's a great little tactics game that's an honest challenge in this day and age, plus it's unique as far as I'm aware. The PSP version is quite a bit better than the GBA one. Do note that the GBA's difficulty is what hard mode in the PSP version is more or less.

Kinda weak generation for RPGs honestly.

PS3
Valkyria Chronicles as a dozen have said-- I wouldn't recommend VC2 for the PSP though unless you really love the gameplay-- in which case go for it.
Bayonetta is probably the second best DMC styled action game out there, behind DMC3
Mass Effect 2/3 would probably appeal to you if you could get access to ME1 somehow (since it's not on PS3)-- they're shooter style games with RPG elements and a decent story/neat setting.
Dragon Age Origins is an action RPG. It's uhh "western styled" so it may not appeal to you but I thought it was pretty enjoyable. I guess the same is true for Mass Effect games.
Disgaea 4 "maybe" if you liked earlier games in the series. It's basically more of the same, though.

PSP
Tactics Ogre Let Us Cling Together is kinda like FFT with a darker/more political story but a less good battle system.
Fate/Extra as half a dozen have said

That's all I can really recommend with your tastes in mind.

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

well fft's battle system wasn't very fun so!

Wasn't sure what your problem with FFT was! So just figured I'd throw that out there if the plot was the problem and not the gameplay!

the plot couldn't be the problem i didn't even get past the first chapter
