IGN gave a 9.7 and scores looking good.


Hype building

 

[Phloxy]

For our site, https://youtu.be/jgPuyTQ9ouI As a first time Persona player, this game is fantastic and makes other jrpg's feel lifeless in comparison. 5/5

 

[SomTervo]

What a time to be alive.

 

[MTC100]

LETS DO THIS BOYZZZ
94 Meta

94? Seriously? That's what I bet on... is this real life?!

 

[Dark_castle]

Take my heart Atlus!

 

[NESpowerhouse]

I'm so glad I got into the Persona series at just the right time. The first Persona game I played was P4 back in late 2015 and P3 in early 2016. I really only had to wait around a year or so for this game. I feel so bad for those who played P3 and P4 when they came out. That wait must have been unbearable.

 

[oti]

100 hours to complete?

yeeeeeeeeahhh, I'm worried about that too

 

[Servbot24]

Only a 93 on Metacritic? I thought that the critics were going to like this game more, too bad.

Edit: 94 now which seems better given the insanely positive coverage this game was getting

You should reflect on how silly this post is

 

[TheKastorian]

Day -freakin'- 1.

 

[molnizzle]

Hot diggity damn.

One week left to finish Horizon before this consumes my soul. D:

I'm in the same boat. Might need to stop fucking around with side quests and just mainline through.

 

[DrunkShogun]

So 2017 is now one of the best gaming years confirmed. Persona 5, Nier and zelda to name a few just cements this year as being exceptional. Only concern seems to be the ending is a bit rushed but it's about the journey and apparently persona 5 delivers in that area really well.

 

[Lunar15]

It's real hard to follow up on a cult classic and retain the same magic. It sounds like P5 pulls it off for the most part.

 

[ch298807]

Now the real question is do I go for everything using a guide on I do two playthrough... I don't really look forward to puting 200+ hours on it but on the other hand going in blind... -_-

We need PenguinKnight to step up again. That dudes max social link guides are incredible.

 

[Guess Who]

You realize that we have been spoiled by so many great games this year when people write "only 93"

Yeah, a 93 would only make it the tied for the third best PS4 game ever.

 

[Astral]

Supernatural Teen Dating Sim? Lmao.

 

[brainslug]

Grear reviews and scores, as expected. Can't wait to finally play this on Tuesday!

 

[Asd202]

lol

 

[MegaSackman]

Don't forget that Edge gave it an 8, that probably will take it down a little.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

4players.de 91/100

 

[RPGCrazied]

This game won't have a world map right? Just like the other persona's I'm sure, but I wish they would change that aspect sometime. Its basically a point and click map to destinations.

 

[unrealist]

It seems kinda silly Laura (Jim) seemed to have knock points off - for not being on the Vita? Really?

 

[SprachBrooks]

100 hours? Fuuuuuuck that. Easy mode here I come lol.

 

[cws]

Reviews, pretty much in line with the expectations...cant wait to play this one.

 

[xeroborn55]

From the EGM review:



This sounds extremely disappointing. Maybe even thread-worthy

its a different culture. imposing American cultural norms on them is not going to work.

Whether or not this issue should have come up when translating the game for American audience's is a whole other issue.

 

[PancakeBurglar]

Breath of the Wild and Persona 5 a month from each other, what is this year? My wallet has never been so afraid of videogames before.

 

[Memento]

I predicted 94 MC. Still holding!

 

[Totakeke]

This game won't have a world map right? Just like the other persona's I'm sure, but I wish they would change that aspect sometime. Its basically a point and click map to destinations.

It's a point and click map to destinations, and this time almost every point of interest (i.e. a single shop) has a fast travel option.

 

[Can Crusher]

So many amazing games, hard to keep up. I wonder if you can just jump on this having never played the previous ones.

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

JRPGs don't review so well.

In what world is a 93 or 94 defined as not reviewing well?

 

[HStallion]

Damn another incredible game coming out in such a packed time period. I'm just digging into Nier Automata and haven't even really gotten into Yakuza 0 or Nioh. Hopefully I can beat Nier pretty quickly and jump into Persona 5 as I already own both Yakuza 0 and Nioh so job done on supporting the developers. Now just need to play all these games!

 

[Jawbreaker]

It seems kinda silly Laura (Jim) seemed to have knock points off - for not being on the Vita? Really?

Is that really the sole reason points were knocked off? I haven't had the chance to read it yet.

2017 is lit!

 

[Tamanon]

Guys, I'm not making a stand here, but I'm starting to think this is a good game.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Predicted a 94 now I want a 95.

 

[SgtCobra]

I think it may end up at 91-92.

 

[unrealist]

It's not just great games coming out .. it's lengthy great games .. like BOTW, Horizon, Persona 5 .. list just goes on..

 

[Captain Smirk]

Boom shaka a laka, the harem train of love is about to set off choo choo!

 

[XandBosch]

yeeeeeeeeahhh, I'm worried about that too

If only it was coming out on Switch That amount of time has breezed by on Zelda due to being able to bring it around with me.

 

[NathanDiego]

Yep, I'm picking this up. My first Persona game ever.

Same here bro

 

[Tubie]

This is the only game that has a chance of knocking Nier from the top spot on my GOTY list. I can't wait.

Same for me.

The fact that this is possible, and so soon after Nier came out...

This fucking year man lol.

 

[hatchx]

This year won't stop.

They translated the game and are releasing it here so our cultural norms are absolutely applicable.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Rated it a Buy for ACG

Absolutely fantastic gameplay with a couple issues technically but for me. The best in the series,

Great review as always man. Can't wait til my copy arrives.

 

[Memento]

Predicted a 94 now I want a 95.

Me too LMAO

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I'm not disagreeing with those put off by the very long length, I am quite too, but this shouldn't be coming as a surprise.

 

[Vinc]

yeeeeeeeeahhh, I'm worried about that too

P3 and 4 take around 80 hours to complete. I just finished 4 Golden on vita last month and it felt like 20 hours. These games tend to be served by their extreme length, and they fly by super quickly. I understand your reluctance, I've been there myself, but I wouldn't deny myself a Persona game because of its length. The vast majority of the game has no difficulty since it's about managing your time and picking social activities, so it's more like a book or a season of TV than anything.

 

[Primethius]

It's even better than Yakuza 0.

..just.. a week to go...

 

[cws]

It seems kinda silly Laura (Jim) seemed to have knock points off - for not being on the Vita? Really?

P4 Golden was the first time for many to get into that series...100h in front of a big screen for such a massive JRPG def. an easier pill to swallow as a handheld title...for me and many others,

 

[Sn4ke_911]

4players.de 91/100

Oh wow.
