God of Lightning Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Beat 3 about 2 years ago. Still working on 2 IS, 4, and Q. I main Yu in Ultimax. Hopefully, I can get 5 at release. And while not Persona, I'm also on my second play through of Nocturne featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series & Knuckles and I'm at the end of Devil Survivor 2. *censored Polaris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden is stated as "best JRPG in history" by a lot and whilst I wouldn't go that very, it's very very good. I'm hyped as hell for 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of Lightning Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Vanilla. Had it on PS2 and got 2/3 of the way through. Watched the rest on youtube because I was away from my PS2 for awhile and got impatient. Now I have it on PS3. I like P4's story, but I will agree that for an SMT game, it's way too light. I get what they were trying to do with last part of the game, but not letting anyone die kinda ruined it. I'm on PS3. I also haven't played in ages. Too many other fighters, plus my laser died...again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Nah I'm reet with that, they went overkill with deaths in 3, so it's a nice balance Also... they're trying to solve a serial murder case, there's like 5 deaths, just not anyone important really. I was happy with Mr Mooraka going though! and I don't really count them as SMT games any more, they branched off on their own and are arguably more popular than SMT now, they've gone the route of dropping SMT completely, so for me they're their own thing.

CROSS-Out Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Bought persona 5, should be done downloading by morning. Loved the playable bit it downloads first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'm onto 11 hours in two days, as expected it's great so far. I'm surprised they've switched to fighting against Persona monsters as it was fighting with them before. Of course you can recruit them to your Persona collection but still, I didn't expect that. I was sent two copies, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of Lightning Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'm broke as hell and I *censored* up my address on Gamefly, so I have no idea how long it'll be before I get to play this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shindol Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 It's good while I'm in a palace and fighting and I love the art style but the dialogue sometimes drags on too long and get's on my nerves. It gives you the information and story to a satisfactory level but then sometimes goes over the same shit again. It just feels like it's dragging along sometimes.

CROSS-Out Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Embittered Blacksmith is some serious bullshit. That *censored*ing sledgehammer attack has enough damage to whipe out the protagonist in one hit if you're not at full health, and he spams the hell out of it.

I wouldn't mind it so much if it weren't an instant game over when the PC is KOd, even if you have the means to wake him back up. I really *censored*ing hate it when JRPGs do that.

Seems equipment makes an even bigger deal here than in previous games though. Still, the amount of RNG one hit kills you can run in to is a bit ridiculous with an instant death game over if the PC gets KOd. Also, wee bit of criticism about the game here, but the mini-maps do a *censored*ing horrible job of helping you find certain things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also this game is a bit nicer, whilst death to random guys is a game over, deaths to bosses just let you redo it. Eg, that first momento, he buffed his attack then his Rampage attack wiped out my entire party. Also in the second dungeon in that small part where you fight on your own, the monster hit my weakness then just did it two more times to kill me lmfao.

Ya looks[/spoiler Absolutely love it. I love how long Persona games are. I'm 40+ house in and not even halfway done. And that's without idling. P3FES took me 180 and even with idling, it was still well over 100 hours. This easily replaces Tales of Berseria as my game of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God of Lightning Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I actually find it a little more lenient compared to other games in the franchise. This one at least gives you the option to retry or start back at the last safe room for bosses. Also ambushing enemies is a major mechanic, so you're intentionally getting yourself caught, you shouldn't be getting screwed over too much. With other games, there's a very good chance you'll lose 5+ hours of progress due to outta nowhere Mudoon or Mahoan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose, but I also find that the difficulty for bosses seems a bit more irratic. Madarame was *censored*ing infuriating, but the boss after whose name escapes me, the mafia shithead, was easy as pie for instance. ---- The more and more I see of Sae, the more and more I dislike her.
