Someone at GF hates autolocking on MPO+ big time...

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=942155&topic=45859137

Big deal about it. It was Kojima and company who allowed auto-locking to be a feature in the game anyway. If they don't want to autolock, don't use it. That was one of the reasons I left the online scene over there. I rest my case.

yeah auto locking in anything is cheap

But in some games, they're necessary, especially in single-player games like Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (though that has different gameplay). When I used to play MPO+ online, I autolocked a fair deal, but after a while I stopped doing so... online anyway.

i don't think i ever use auto lock outside of where a game forces me

Then you're ahead of me there in terms of tactics.

probably not i'm just that stubborn
also majority of games you benefit in the long run manual aiming

I don't mind manual aiming at all, I just wish the people online didn't have to force feed the idea down people's throats all the time, that's all and calling them "0" or "noob".

seriously if they can get bested by auto aim they're the newb

Autolocking is perfectly fair.

Manual aiming is more difficult, but it gets you more headshots, and therefore, more kills.

If you practice it long enough, I'd say that be true. I did get a few more headshots than usual by manually aiming. However, wouldn't that just wear out the PSP analog stick/directional pad much faster than just playing normally?

not unless your rough with it

Well, I try not to be. Although a few months ago, my directional pad was going bonkers, and the only way I could fix it was to blow air into it. Because of that, it's been working good since then.

sony stuff is fine if your not rough with it
obviously you treat your stuff bad it breaks

Couldn't have said it better myself, yet I unintentionally dropped it twice since I had it. And yet again, it still plays in excellent condition. Luck of the draw, I guess.

they used to have a competition about how much damage PSPs could survive
they have survived drops of a couple of floors apparently

Then it looks like that PSPs have at least three lives before being totally ruined, like Rockstar's did.

>.<

But atleast the new black one works now. Although there is a wee tiny green blot on the screen that will not go away. It works so I'm not complaining...much. XD

Good to hear that. I take it you're playing new stuff now in that case.

The newest ones I have that I'm playing are MGS:POP & SvR 2008.

And they're both worthy games, believe you me. I think SvR 2008 was the reason why my directional pad went bad for a month until I fixed it.

is trhe PSP version good i heard the PS2 version was the worst of the lot

XD Well, I could've done worse and got a Naruto game. That would've been killer on the Ol' Stick. XD But it'd be awesome to see Itachi's specials.

I think you know more about Naruto than I do, except I love the Abridged Series by members of Team Four Star.

naruto games are too pricey here for me to gamble on a purchase

Haven't played too many Naruto games except for that board game that was based on the series. It was on the PSX, and was only available in Japan. I got bored rather quick.
