/vr/ - Retro Games

Only useful for when the remote and console is too far or when I travel for long periods of time, like a flight or a boat ride.

I think they were marketed for children. Don't quote me on that, though.

I still have it, but the UMD drive failed 2 years ago. Feels bad man. I bought a 3,000 to replace it, but it doesn't feel as good in the hand and doesn't have the spring loaded disc drive.

>>8432483
I've never used the drive, I only bought it after I learned you could hack it and get all the games for free. Literally never paid for a single game for it.
>purchased 17 years ago

>>8432493
I bought one specifically to hack it and I just ended up playing classic SNES, NES, GBA, and even N64 games on it lol

there were like 2 games worth playing on PSP anyway. Such a trash console.

>>8432515
>Hating on the PSP
Gay nigger.

>>8432519
Oh don't get me wrong I absolutely loved the hardware (besides no dual thumbsticks)
I mean playing Quake on PSP was the coolest fucking thing at the time. It's the console that got me into homebrew.

However, the only games worth playing consist of Peace Walker and Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix

>>8432483
Did your UMD drive sound like it was screaming all the time before it died out? My PSP-2000 still reads UMDs but it sounds like it's being murdered so I started playing games from memory instead.

>>8432515
>>8432528
There's tons of games for it including all the ps1 library not to mention the other consoles, saying those are the only two games worth playing ranks you as a pleb

>>8432451
>why don't childern do things the way an adult would?
I should ask you the same thing, underage shitposting on an 18+ board.

>>8432541
>including all of the ps1 library
You're not helping your point retard.

List off some PSP exclusives and then we can talk

>>8432567
Ridge Racer 1 & 2, Wipeout Pure & Pulse, MGS Peace Walker, Ace Combat X & X2, Burnout Legends & Dominator, TM Head-On.

>>8432537
It definitely was seeking louder than normal and taking longer, though I don't know about screaming.

>>8432575
>Ridge Racer 1 & 2
Just a compilation of the PSX games, does not count
>Wipeout Pure & Pulse
Pretty good/5
>MGS Peace Walker
I already listed that, agreed
>Ace Combat X & X2
Games were short and shitty
>Burnout Legends & Dominator
Pretty good/5
>TM Head-On
Cars control horribly, gameplay is repetitive and uninteresting (as with all TM games) also IIRC this is a PS2 game as well so NO

I'd add Lumines and LCS/VCS/China Town Wars to the list but DESU absolutely none of the games discussed so far are so good they make the console worth buying

I never liked handhelds very much, always wished I could play them on a TV even as a kid. I begged my parents to get me the Super Game Boy when it came out and used it a ton.

handhelds are more comfy because I can play them while tucked in my bed.

>>8432451
Why are people on this board of all places talking about "being like an adult"?

The only 'adults' that play videogames are complete fucking manchild losers, like me.

>>8432451
Why do anons like to make shitty threads with one-sided, projecting opinionated threads so much? Why not just make good threads like someone who actually enjoys video games would?

because I don't have a television near my toilet

>>8432596
>shitty
You're a double gay nigger for that.

>>8433036
Sadly on modern nuchan the only threads that get any traction are bait/shitflinging threads, especially on slow boards where you’re lucky to even get one reply. And it gives the OP instant gratification too, as expected of the tiktok generation

>>8432451
My parents bought these so my brother and sister and I would stop fighting with each other and asking "are we there yet?" on long car trips.

They're for the occasional porch or backyard gaming. And nostalgia, obviously.

>>8432451
The GBA SP model was my fave handheld console of all time. The main selling point for me was that it was a portable SNES. That's how I thought about it. I didn't play very many games. I owned a PS2 that I only used to watch DVD rentals. It was hooked up to a small CRT. I did not want to have to buy a new television and a console to play kids games. There is no way I could have rationalized spending that much money. To this day I regret getting rid of mine with the games I owned. I do not like any of the handheld devices that followed. To summarize, nostalgia and price.

>>8432451
Adults don’t commute? Adults don’t entertain themselves before going to sleep?

Portables can be convenient.

>>8432451
Adults don't play video games anon.

>>8433036
discordies are raiding /vr/ on a regular basis, just wave and smile.

>>8432451
they had cheaper games designed to pick up and play, and were the last refuge of nice things like high-quality professional pixel art that we once took for granted and now don't have anymore.
handheld gaming was a different and complementary experience to regular gaming until mobilefags ruined it and nintendo shoveled the last dirt on its grave with the switch.

This. I have a desk job where for 80% of the time I’m just sitting there. It really helps to have a game to play rather than always watching YouTube and shit.

why are you on a boat for that long

Are all tv and handheld players gay nigger faggot kykes?

>>8432472
Salaryman were playing on ye old Game & Watch

>>8432581
Did they scratch ans destroy the disks?

There's a notably different feel to portable system games compared to home consoles and computers. Even the ports feel strangely different(probably because it was always inferior and they had to take creative liberties as a result.) It was especially prevalent with the DS, with its whole touch screen deal.

>>8432575
The Armored Core PSP ports were dope too (AC3, Silent Line, Last Raven) if you can get over the less-than-ideal controls. Formula Front was a great game too where you program your AC (mech)'s AI instead of controlling it directly.

I just think it's comfy laying on the couch playing pokeymans or whatever while I have the TV on in the background.

>zoomies don't know boats go slow
Not your fault I guess. You're 12 and spent 20% of your self aware life in lockdown. fyi, they go slow. In fact, the slower they go the more enjoyable the ride is.

>>8434404
Video games are for children, deal with it.

You are posting this on a video game board.

>>8432451
Finally, somebody gets it

>>8434665
Yes, laughing at you all the way

>>8434602
Not him but, firstly I love fast boat rides, secondly hydrofoils are incredibly smooth at high speeds(but I prefer bumpy rides.) Thirdly, the least important but the entire reason why I made this post, gen alpha is the one that has to spend 20% of their self-aware life in lock down.

>>8434703
>Spending any time in lockdown
Third worlders sure have it rough

>>8434709
Yeah I know, Europe's a bitch ain't it? Glad that my North American country that shan't be named doesn't enforce lockdowns.

>>8432451
I can't curl up in bed with my TV; I mean I probably can but setting it up would be a nightmare and I wouldn't be able to change sides every 4 minutes.

>>8434494
>The Armored Core PSP ports were dope too (AC3, Silent Line, Last Raven) if you can get over the less-than-ideal controls.
I clawed my way through AC3 and SL without a hitch. You could also play them on a Vita.

>videogames are for children
videogames were literally created inside universities by teachers.checkmate fags

>>8434703
>hydrofoils are incredibly smooth at high speeds
No they're not. You've either never been on a fast one or have no experience to compare it with other than maybe an overgrown jetski.
I'd like to say that with those math skills you must be gen alpha but it's a well known fact that even millennials can't do simple arithmetic.

>>8436143
Ah, cool, you're just destroying all generations. Glad to see that you're probably someone who hates because he has no other hobbies.
In any case, my uncle owns one. I've been on it a few times. I was drawing from that experience, however it's a very expensive hydrofoil so it might also have been doing other things as well. I prefer the bumpier ride my other uncle has even if I seem to be alone.

>>8432451
>Why do people like handhelds so much?
They're the only games consoles with a selling point that PC can't match
>Why not just play these games on a TV like an adult would?
I laughed irl when I read it

>>8432451
>toys for kids are the ones you can carry around
>toys for adults are the ones you get to play at home

you are 22 years old bro

>>8436257
That's hardly all generations and facts aren't hate. Despite what you've been programmed to believe. Anyway, if you've never been on anything other than your uncles boat you you don't prefer it. It's just the only thing you know. It's also probably not very fast. But it has one truly amazing capability. It can magically go from being smooth at high speeds to being bumpy at high speeds depending on what point of view you want to be contrarian to. Truly a literally unbelievable vessel!

8436640
You know what you lack? Reading comprehension. It's almost like I denoted there being TWO uncles with two SEPARATE sea worthy vessels.
>I prefer the bumpier ride my other uncle has even if I seem to be alone [in that sentiment.]

>That's hardly all generations
Ja, you think I care? You criticized 3 different generations, out of the 5 that are alive right this moment. Given the trend, you're going to insult the other 2 in no time flat, meaning that you'll have criticized 100% of the generations that are alive right now.
>Facts aren't hate
>Despite what you've been programmed to believe
Oh great, one of you fucks. Just because I disagree with you doesn't make a liberal, you fucking cunt. I probably vote more conservatively than you do, in fact.
>If you've never been on anything other than your uncle's boat, you don't prefer it.
Too bad for you, I've been on plenty of boats. It's just that I've only been on one hydrofoil, and that would be my first uncle's.

Go. Kill. Yourself. Fucking faggot.

It's exactly like you just said some random words about your uncle and his bumpy ride and never mentioned another "sea worthy" vessel. But hey, my bad. I should have known that all your uncles own very expensive fast hydrofoils. Let me guess. Both your uncles work for Hydrofoil?

This boat derail is no joke one of the funniest things I've read on this website in a hot minute

>>8432451
The only reason get handle exclusive games on it

>>8435114
Yeah, on a Vita you can map camera controls to the analog sticks which is nice, but I managed to configure a control setup on the PSP that ended up being quite satisfactory. AC is all about customization anyway, which extends to the controls also.

I'm so glad 6th gen was allowed, average thread-quality improved significantly.

>>8433810
He doesn't care, he will just stick to his original 'opinion' because he wants that to be his opinion.

>>8432451
I thought the game boy was cool back then, but I never actually got a handheld.

The whole concept is weird, like, do I really need to play games at home AND outside? like really? 1st world problems

and then we got emulators to play the exclusives at home anyway, check mate

i really dont want playing games to be ubiquitous, there's more to life than that

>>8432464
Why do you travel?
Do you play in private or in public?
