Simply modding it to have expanded storage is fantastic. I have a PSTV hooked up to my hanging room TV (basically like a firestick/chromecast) since it doesn’t need to sit on anything.
It kinda serves the same purpose as that PS1 Classic, except better in almost every way.

Maybe it’s that you can still download stuff on the PSP store, but you have to buy it from somewhere else like the PS3 or Vita stores. I’ll have to check and get back.
Yeah, I had a lot of PSP games saved on my PS3. That sucked when they got rid of transfers. If I remember right, it blocked save transfers for PS1 games too, which was a huge bonus from back in the day. Play on the road, then continue your game on the PS3.

The digital store might still open. I know you can buy games off the Vita’s store still (but you have to use an older style WIFI that is sometimes relegated to guest WIFI and you have to preload the money from another source).

My only problem with Crisis Core is that there’s so much easily accessible side content, I had to force myself to just stop and finish the story.
But I loved that game, and I wasn’t even a big fan of the original FF7.

The original game collection (1, 2, 3D, and… Fractured Furry Tales?) is coming out this year too.
Also, I guess their other two games, Paws on Fire and Woolies Strike Back are being kinda ignored here.

- Comment on HELLDIVERS 2 x HALO: ODST Legendary Warbond 4 weeks ago:
5 was fun. The gameplay was way better than 4. The biggest issues, imo, were making 2/3 of the game “follow MC due to being vaguely suspicious” and bringing back Cortana, even though it was a rampant version of the original.
The positives were Evil Cortana was the best best villain 343 has had, the Guardians were a great replacement for the Halo rings, and the gunplay was fun again. Also, Warzone was awesome.
- Comment on Anyone else guilty of this? 4 weeks ago:
My favorite part of the PSP/PS3 era was that they made so many direct ports of PS1 games on the digital store. So I got to experience a lot of old games I wouldn’t have been able to otherwise for dirt cheap.
Plus I could take them on the go and swap my save files easily with my PSP.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 5 weeks ago:
XIII isn’t in my top 5 FF games. But the interpersonal dynamic is the absolute best in the series. The scene where Sahz discovers why his son was branded is one of the most impactful moments in gaming. Two of the most cheerful characters in the franchise, suddenly broken.
I don’t love how restricted the game is at the beginning. But each of their personal stories are magnificent, usualy leading to their Eidolon awakening.

Morrowind is top tier. Every time I play a bit differently or go somewhere new, it feels new again. I’ve never had that from another game. Compare to Skyrim (which I also liked), I kinda felt like I experienced everything my first go-round.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 5 weeks ago:
Morrowind
Final Fantasy X
The Last of UsThe first two are interchangeable first and second.
Next two are Final Fantasy VIII and inFamous 2, again interchangeable.

I didn’t expect FFXIII to get a mention in here. Respect.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 1 month ago:
I don’t think 5 ruined 4. By the end of 5 it’s established that this Cortana is not the same Cortana. For all intents and purposes, the old Cortana is gone.
Infinite however, gave her a sympathetic send-off which undid that.

If I remember right, that was there for plot purposes, but had no impact on the game.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 1 month ago:
CE, Reach, and ODST are my top 3 games in the franchise. I think i have a special appreciation for the self-contained stories.
Actually, I had REALLY hoped Infinite would use ODST as a template for their open world. Because IMO, Infinite implemented it terribly in just about every way they could.

How much baggage do you have to address? Evil Cortana, Guardians, and Prometheans. The rest can be managed around.
If Infinite didn’t have to wrap up the previous games, it wouldn’t have that stink on it. But then it would have had even less substance. And the shitty open world wouldn’t have been any better.
It would have been better if they just used Cortana and the Guardians to wrap up the Promethean saga. But then they’d still have to write a decent story, which apparently they are incapable of.

I actually loved Fable 3, along with the rest of the series. It wasn’t as good as the other 2, but I still thought it was great.
I wasn’t part of the zeitgeist at the time. But I was surprised to find out much later that so many people hated it.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 1 month ago:
4 and 5 didn’t ruin anything for me. There’s stuff I genuinely like about them that got me excited for the next game. Plenty I didn’t like about them too.
Then there’s Infinite… it feels like the DLC or post-game content to a game we never got. And the multiplayer was unplayable last I saw. It made me no longer excited for the next game.
I still do Halo game nights a couple times a year though.

Even Halo 5 had redeeming qualities. I legit wish Infinite would be treated like a fan made game and ignored so they can make a Halo 6 that concludes the Promethean saga.

Im not sure if I missed it somewhere in your writeup. But there’s also Castlevania: Symphony of Despair, the multiplayer co-op game.
- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 2 months ago:
I know Portal isn’t a shooter. But Portal made me think of them. I feel like a lot of FPSs would fit OP’s question. Half-Life 2 and most of the Halo games come to mind.
- Comment on Square Enix acknowledges Expedition 33 success as inspiration for next Final Fantasy as turn-based is still beloved by gamers 2 months ago:
XIII and XIII-2 were both standard turn based. It just had stacked ATB gauges. But it was still standard menu battling.
I’d argue XII was turn based too, it just let you move while the ATB gauge filled.
Final Fantasy Dimensions and World of Final Fantasy exist too. But people forget those.

I’ve loved most of the Final Fantasy games. But the PS1 games (the golden era) were the worst about this.
Pre-PS1 typically required more thought. You had to balance magic use, item use, and of course melee. But even then you had to debate whether to spend a turn reviving your healer or try to get the victory before a team wipe.
Post PS1 you had X’s rock paper scissors battle. You had to figure out who could attack who. It wasn’t too complicated but it forced variety.
XII streamlined the auto attacking and allowed you to focus on the exceptions (enemy weak against fire, use silence, cure). That could be automated too, but I liked to handle that myself.
XIII & XIII-2 forced you to balance your jobs/classes constantly in battle.
Lightning Returna, XV, and XVI were real time.
Tactics was PS1, but it definitely required more than just attack.
The PS1 games, for the most part, could be dominated with “press X”. Most of the strategy took place outside of battle.

Jaws on the NES. I absolutely loved that game, but I found out many years later that it was hated.

I loved FO3. And coming from Bethesda, I was expecting a sandbox.
Actually, do people hate FO3? I thought it was well liked, even amongst New Vegas fanatics.

XII remake is my third favorite after X and VIII.
