New Genso Suikoden Headed to the PSP

[Hot Like Wasabi]

I know we have a few fans of the series (Timber) and I thought I would never see another title so I was excited to see this announced.

Link Here . I just hope it is a story line that takes place during 1 - 3, not in the past like 4,5 and Tierkreis. Not the biggest fan of it being on the PSP but whatever, atleast isn't on 3DS.

I played through 1,3,and 5.
Started 2 a few times, but never got into it.
Played just about all the way through 4, but couldn't handle it's myriad of technical issues.
Started Tierkreis, but lost interest about ten hours in.
Never played Tactics because everyone seemed to agree it was awful.
I'd give the series another shot. JUST NO PERMA MISSABLE CHARACTERS PLS!!!!
That's really what killed the few I didn't complete.

2 and 3 are by far the best games of the series so far.

[Thief Silver]

I beat 1 and 3, have never been able to stomach playing through 2 and find it to be very overrated.

I started 5 but haven't been able to finish it, it's not that it's bad but it feels like it's on the same level as 2, where there just ends up being too much walking around. The series would do well to let you avoid random battles on the world map when you're significantly stronger than the enemies.

I played the first one, it was cute. If they ever put up the sequel on PSN I might play that one as well.

This could maybe be okay? I guess?

The first one's been up on PSN forever.

Also, who doesn't like 2? It's far and away the best of all of them.

[Thief Silver]

I've tried to play through it twice and haven't been able to. Maybe the next time is the charm!

But really, Suikoden's combat is garbage, slow, and the encounter rates are awful.

When all I want to do is get to the next awesome scene, in which Suikoden is generally comprised of; it's irritating and kills it.

You're insane. If you don't like 2, you don't like JRPGs. Also, you can always "let go" the weaker creatures.

This. Also, I think combat in I, II and V is very fast for a turn based system. You can just hit auto and they'll do the work for you.

I was stuck on 3 for the longest time. Tried 4 but didn't get very far...that's about my entire experience.

Is Suikoden 1 worth the $6 on PSN?
