As someone who basically only plays on controllers I find the default control layouts in most games rather bad tbh, so I always rebind my keys to something I find more smooth (l2 as jump, r2 as crouch/dash/slide or whatever other movement, l1 as aim r1 as shoot are the big ones I rebind) and also gyro aim, that’s a big one that helps for me :3 I know gyro support isn’t optimal on consoles tho
I had a GBA and DS growing up but a used PSP was my very first purchase with my first day cheque. The idea of playing PS1 games on the go still seemed so revolutionary to me. What a fun little device to tinker with.
Yup, I was mostly a Nintendo kid growing up and loved my GBCs, GBAs, and DSs, but the PSP was the perfect handheld. Truly a magnificent piece of hardware. Its value proposition hasn’t been beat until the Steam Deck. It hit at that perfect moment when technology and the Internet intersected into the mainstream and were affordable.
A fantastic gaming machine, but also functional for general computing, not to mention that it was a great media player. I remember browsing the Internet frequently, watching movies, using it as an mp3 player, emulating my favorite classic Nintendo games. The homebrew scene was insanely vibrant. I certainly don’t miss the Memory Stick format though. I’m glad that died.
Love the PSP! Grew up with it and loved the more mature titles available compared to Nintendo’s handheld game library. A couple years ago I purchased a faulty PSP for dirt cheap and replaced the display, shell, and UMD drive. Unfortunately the clear analog stick I purchased is quite rubbish and needs to be replaced, but I haven’t gotten around to it.
But yes, the aftermarket replacement shells are often quite good (or, equally often not good at all - they’re a gamble whether they’ll be a nice one or not!) But the sticks are known to be bad. People tend to stick with original sticks, from what I recall.
Though your effort looks amazing, I love the transparent shell!
Fix it up completely!!! Consider this your reminder to do so
The shell I got was mediocre. It all comes together, but there are definitely some weird gaps and bad tolerances. I had to trim down some plastic to get everything to line up half-decently.
I’m glad you like the transparent shell as well, as I was a bit on the fence about it at first.
The trick was to start at the grave, kill everything on your path, without saving on a bench (as it respawns enemies), and then do the exact reverse route. It is the easier way to do it as you only have to care about the platforming and not needing to dodge foes on top of that.
Stopped playing when they left HOMM6 a buggy ruin. Inferno’s core racial ability didn’t even work at the beginning. And it took a while for them to patch that fix, IIRC. I still get irked seeing the list of bugs left they’ll never fix.
Ubisoft hasn’t gotten a single dime from me since, and likely won’t ever again.
Me personally the franchise peaked at HOMM5 Tribes of the East. Played a lot of that earlier this year again. Still need to give the 5.5 mod a try.
