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

[GeorgeMarx]

It has to be ZHP (Zettai Hero Project).
Its a roguelike dungeon crawler, only it encourages player deaths. You may dismiss it as a jrpg though.

There's also Monster Hunter. Monster hunting action game, reliant entirely on skill. Its actually a complex game involving much frustration, and will not allow the user to grind up in order to pass an obstacle.

 

[Denariax]

Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology is probably one of the longest on the PSP. Create-a-Character feature with all of the previous game protagonists. That's a definite.

A second one is either Megaman Powered Up, or Megaman Maverick Hunter X. Powered Up has a stage creator, and the ability to play as any of the bosses, sans Wily, as well as Roll and Protoman. Maverick Hunter X is a remake of MMX, and has an unlockable 30 minute movie, as well as the ability to play as the Boba-Fett lookalike, Vile.

For a third? I'd wait until Final Fantasy Type-0 comes out. It's an action-RPG, and is probably the only recent PSP game worth buying that has good lastibility.

DnD Tactics (really fun), Battlefront 2, Some form of Harvest Moon.

 

[sunsethorizons]

1-Metal Gear Solideace walker
2-Final Fantasy 7:Crisis Core
3- Kingdom Hearts:Birth by Sleep

I was going to suggest exactly those three. Albeit in a different order, but whatever. Again, if you don't want JRPGs, try Peace Walker, or either of the God of War games. As has been said, if you don't like JRPGs, the PSP might not be the system for you.

 

[Daimon117]

Astonishia Story

 

[jacilon]

Try
Final fantasy dissidia (smash bros in 3d plains) (1v1) (final fantasy characters)(flashy gameplay)

Petapon 3?

Little big planet?

 

[jacobythehedgehog]

I second that of of everyone Saying persona 3 Portable. It is the best handheld game I have ever played :.

Also God of War isn't bad, and Patapon is solid as well

 

[Michael Hirst]

Screw the haters, PSP is a good system, its main letdown is only having the one analogue stick but otherwise I think it's great fun. Also yeah it DOES have games, some pretty decent ones.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy
God of War Chains of Olympus

Extra stuff: Ace Combat Joint Assault, God of War Ghost of Sparta, Castlevania collection, Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, Tekken 6, Silent hill origins, Gran Turismo, Burnout Dominator, Wipeout Pure, GTA Liberty/Vice City Stories, Metal Slug Anthology, Ultimate Ghosts n Goblins.

I haven't mentioned any JRPG's there (Dissidia doesn't really count) even though I'm a massive fan of them, as per your request OP.

 

[teebeeohh]

megaman powered up/something X edit: scratch that, take what the guy under me said instead
resistance retribution
persona 3

the god of war games are quite good, too
also peace walker, the syphon filter games
pretty much every GTA game for the PSP is great
and my buddy keeps poking me with a pen to say monster hunter(if you are into that kinda thing)

 

[Truniron]

- Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. If you like stealth and epic action, then this is the game for you. This is among the best game in the PSP library, and worth all the money.

- Valyrie Profile: Lenneth. In my opinion, the best RPG on the PSP. Epic battles, awesome music and lovable characters, this is a must own for RPG fans.

- Any of the God of War games. Seriously, these games are just fun. Be as bad ass as possible and just pulverize everything in your way. Pure fun and makes money well spent.

 

[nononoiefiewpfoiejofijp]

FF4 remake, and MOTHERFUCKING GTA: VICE CITY STORIES, best PSP game you'll ever get. And I guess get some ps1 games from the PSN store and you're set.

 

[CobraX]

Socom:Fire Team Bravo
Ratchet and Clank:Size Matters
God Of War:Chains Of Olympus

Also Little Big Planet and Daxter!

PS - PSPs are worth the money, a ton of fun if you buy the right games

 

[odanhammer]

what did i do to deserve this , my lord- fun game, you create a dungeon and have to protect the boss. easy to play , hard to master.
Dungeon maker - its a 3d game , build a dungeon , go into it daily to kill stuff , collect stuff , make more levels. I found it fun , almost like Diablo , but you build the dungeon first.
GTA vice city stories- everyone knows what gta games are like , found it to be fun on the psp , although a bit hard to play until you get use to the controls.

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

Persona 3 Portable, not your typical JRPG, defiantly worth a look

Ninjaed.

Anyway, I'll add my support to Persona 3 Portable. One of the best games I've ever played. Get it and discover why you keep hearing good things about the Persona series.

 

[Jake the Snake]

Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade, only game I ever played through on my PSP, fucking awesome little RPG.

 

[Jessta]

Kingdom hearts birth by sleep

Final fantasy 7 crisis core

Star ocean first departure (or really any of square enixs remade psp ports, they really are good!)

 

[xXAsherahXx]

Damn! I just sold mine a few days ago and all the games I own on eBay. You should have bought it!! I had a sandbox shooter, some jrpgs, and silent hill games among others.

 

[omegawyrm]

Peace Walker is probably the best game on the system and has a massive amount of content. It's not as popular but I also really liked MGS: Portable Ops.

I'm going to go off the beaten path and suggest Fate/Extra, it's a lot like the Persona series with a more active combat system. And I would personally love to see this game make a profit because I'm a huge fan of the Fate series and we might get more of them that way.

 

[Virmire]

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Resistance Retribution. Three of the best portable games I have ever played. Out of the three at least get Peace Walker, best portable game I have ever played.
