I don't want to do my TAFE work so let's hear about a frustrating chapter of my recent life.
Ever since I'd sold my Gameboy Colour several years ago, I had not had any real desire to get any kind of portable console. My Ipod was enough in most circumstances and there were rarely games that caught my eye anyway.
Last year though I became aware of Dissidia: Final Fantasy, a fighting game which pitted the mian hero and villain of the first 10 games in the series against one another. It had the two thing I like in my fighting games: recognisable characters and unconventional gameplay.
But alas Dissida was PSP only and there was no real chance of it being ported (games only get ported from consoles I own, not to). As any person with basic comprehension will have figured out, I bought a PSP.
Realising I just spent several hundred dollars for a single game, I looked for others in an attmept to justify my purchase (although Dissidia did get me through Brisbane with my family so it has been fairly worthwhile).
On the suggestion of internet personalities I like, I bought Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles. The downside with this is that it is a remake of game from era when games were still at ridiculous arcade difficultly, and so I'll probably never finish this. It did come with Symphony of the Night which was decent.
So it was around this point I decided I should actually do some research on the console I bought several months earlier cause I'm all about careful planning. Turns out that the PSP is the loser by far in comparison to the DS. It has a weaker battery life and game library. Just like with the N64 I made my choice and it was the wrong one.
Only recently a lot of my friends have been getting into mod chips for their DS's. Why don't I do the same I thought. Well I can't because my PSP is a 3000 with version 5.5 on it, and no one can hack that. Oh boy, things just keep going my way (irony).
And that's basically where I am now. Really the only good thing about the PSP is that it is region free so I can get games from the US and Japan. If only there was something particularly worth while.
PS I apoligise for all the dryness between the few interesting parts.

You won't believe this but I was coming home form the city the other day and on the train I found a PSP, just lying on the seat. So I fiddled with it during the train ride to Parramatta and watched some Family Guy. But then it occured to me that I didn't WANT a PSP so I dumped it in one of the cubicles at Parramatta train station. This actually happened.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't you keep it to sell to a friend for like fifty bucks or something. I'm sure there's got to be someone you know who buy it.
ReplyDeleteAlso I was working on the GitS post about a week or two ago until various tests and assignments distracted me. If I can find the time and motivatation I might get around to finishing it.
I couldn't be bothered selling it. What if it was password protected or something? Forget it.
