[LostInTranslation]

Well so far, might be GTA Liberty City Stories

 

[Skeetos]

Kurohyou 1+2, GTA Chinatown Wars, MGS Peace Walker, Black Rock Shooter, Daxter, and God of War: Ghost of Sparta. I'd put Birth By Sleep on here but I still haven't got to that one yet.

 

[RetroLaw]

This thing is I don't remember which one I played. Maybe I should replay it someday.

This means you must now play both to remember which was it was

 

[MegaApple18]

To this day, nothing blows away my mind more than God Of War Ghost Of Sparta. Technical marvel.

 

[DaeZun]

1- KUROHYOU DUOLOGY
(Two of the best yakuza games that never left japan)
2- Project Diva Extend
(I like vocaloid)
3- Trails in the sky
(One of the best RPGs i've played)
4- Guilty Gear XX ACORE PLUS
(It's not the more optimal way to play it, but it works for a quick game)
5- Portable Ops & Peace walker
(Not my favorites in the metal gear franchise, but it has one of the best CQC combats)

Digimon World Re: Digitize ♥ It's my favorite psp game!

 

[retronerdgamer]

Tales of the World Radiant Mythology. I did almost everything you could in that game. I wish I didn't lose my save but hey...
It was so fun and I'm glad to have owned it though.

 

[Yousef]

Kurohyou 1+2, GTA Chinatown Wars, MGS Peace Walker, Black Rock Shooter, Daxter, and God of War: Ghost of Sparta. I'd put Birth By Sleep on here but I still haven't got to that one yet.

Oh heck yeah lots of based picks I’d agree with here. Kuro, GTA CW and GoW: GoS are all excellent. MGS PW and Daxter are cool mentions too.

 

[mousebites]

There are so many great JRPGs on the system; Final Fantasy Tactics: the War of the Lions, Valkyie Profile: Lenneth, all the Persona titles, etc. are all awesome

 

[Leon]

Call me a fanboy, but the legend of heroes gagharv trilogy, legend of heroes trails in the sky fc and sc and ys 7 were my favorite psp games.

Doesn't you character and stats carry from each of the PS2 games to the others?

Yes, though there are hard caps in each part you can't jump over if i remember right.

 

[SaebaSan86]

I'm a huge fan of the portable. On my favorites list there must be Kingdom Hearts Birth Of Sleep. Danganronpa and Persona series are also essential. I still need to play the most popular games like Jeanne D'Arc and the Ys franchise (I tried playing some games from the franchise but I wasn't engaged by it). In your opinion, which games peaked during the PSP era?

Phantasy Star Portable 2: Infinity
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
Fate Extra
Fate Extra CCC
Riviera: The Promised Land

 

[mandrakes]

Hexyz Force. The only jrpg I finished on psp and I had a lot of fun with it.

don't forget about generation of chaos series

 

[Atururuu]

Tales of Radiant Myhtology 3 & Kamen Rider Chou Climax Heroes, is the best all of time for me of course, so many playable char, with high replayability

 

[RageBurner]

The PSP is amazing, no two ways about it. The library was so extensive and had such high quality on average that can be difficult to pin down a handful of games.

That said, as a huge MH fan, I need to cite all its PSP outings. I always hated the localized names, they should have stuck with the Japanese naming convention and just call it MH Portable 1st, 2nd and 3rd, though.

It was also a portable RPG heaven, and I love it for that, too.

Phantasy Star Portable 2∞ and Jeanne D'Arc might be some of the coolest RPG's I've played.

PS 2 Portable Infinity is probably one of the largest, most all encompassing PSP translations ever, the team behind it deserves infinite kudos. I haven't played it much, but it seems to be equivalent to a G rank expansion in a Monster Hunter game - huge content additions.

Yep, they did a fantastic job, even the DLCs are translated.

 

[Ikagura]

I was more of a DS fan but I really enjoyed playing Peace Walker (which was a home console game fit inside a handheld) and PS Portable 2 among other games like the two GTA.

Bless the translation team for Infinity (shame Sega, shame).

Sega being tone deaf and anti-consumer is so Sega. How I miss the golden days.

Sega being tone deaf and anti-consumer is so Sega. How I miss the golden days.

It's weird how usually it's Nintendo who are being anti-consumer (with "Sega does what Nintendon't" for fangames and romhacks) but let's remember that they don't care as long as it's only Sonic.

They shut down SoR Remake and they're not delisting their older games on online stores.

The Phantasy Star franchise during the 2010's had a rough time for westerners as we didn't get anything until Microsoft put money to release PSO2 in the west (yet the latest actually single playable game is still only in Japan on a dead console for 10 years).

Sure we got Phantasy Star 1 on the Switch with QoL improvements but I'm talking about newer games.

 

[Gorse]

let's remember that they don't care as long as it's only Sonic.

Modern SEGA's IP roster is Yakuza, Sonic, Persona, and all those weird PC game franchises that Europeans like. The company couldn't give less of a shit about any of their other 40+ years of beloved game franchises if they tried, aside from selling them back to us again and again with the latest edition of Sonic's Mega-Special Genesis Roundup #124 (which still doesn't contain Sonic 3 or Ecco the Dolphin, of course). As a longtime fan, it's very sad.

 

[RageBurner]

Sega of the 90s was a very different beast, I guess. SoRR may have been ostensibly shut down to there are still new versions/support, just more low key; very much a AM2R situation there.

As for Phantasy Star... wow don't even get me started. The Switch re-release of 1 is something, sure, but it's a drop on the ocean compared to what the series deserves.

Sonic 3 lives in a sort of terrible limbo because of musical rights. At best you get the game with crappy pre-release music or not at all, and I doubt this will change. All I'll say is that Sonic 3 A.I.R and Sonic 3 Complete exist. Frankly nothing else is needed, since Sega clearly doesn't care about its fans.

Total War?

I find it baffling honestly but what prevents them from having indie devs who truly loved the games from making sequels? SoR 4 was legitimately a good sequel (but not as great as the 25 years of waiting) and Sonic Mania is a great homage to the Genesis games.

Fantasy Zone, Golden Axe, Comix Zone, etc...

At least we got the trailer for 5 big comebacks but I'm worried about their quality.

Why Ecco isn't there btw?

Perhaps SoR R has every stages from all 3 games so it may have brushed Sega the wrong way that someone could play all games without paying.

Pre-Dreamcast discontinuation Sega was something else yeah...

I love the QoL improvements from PSI but I would've preferred to see it on Steam as we got 2 3 4 but not the first. The lack of any GG/SMS compilations is already an issue imo (I can more easily excuse the lack of Saturn and DC as emulation isn't easy for these).

Honestly the pre-release musics are not crappy in the actual prototype because the ones we hear on the PC version and Origins are just badly remixed/sampled. An actual Genesis soundboard remix from several fans had proven they could sound good. Still trash how music copyright prevented something from getting a proper re-release, there's a serious issue regarding those laws.

And yeah, AIR and Complete for the win.

Idk if you guys saw. But Sega is doing a couple new games for certain franchises. Golden Axe, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, and a few others. Sega can be quite shitty these days but the difference between them and a lot of others is that there are some on their teams that do care about the products. I feel it's more of an issue with higher ups than anything when it comes to them. Not trying to excuse anything. Just thought this tied in to the conversation.

oh you mentioned this. oh well.

 

[Ikagura]

I've only played the demo but I love the feeling of Locoroco in the demo.

I miss that Sony.
