Does anyone like Persona 5 more than 3 or 4?
The tepid response is making me anxious about starting.

I probably sound really negative but I'm actually still really enjoying it. Most people who like P3/P4 will probably still really enjoy P5.
And the improvements to the gameplay side of things can't be stated enough. The dungeons are actually fun to go through this time around, instead of something you just wanted to be over so you can get back to the social simulator like the previous games.

Awesome. That's good.
Too bad he never got the funding nor time to do more. It's actually a lot of hard work to do what he did.

It's free on PS+ I've heard.
What you don't remember the annoying fat kid who was in a cult, the douchebag who wants to fuck his teacher, the boring guy who likes art and has doctor parents, the robot ~struggling~ with being a real girl, the monster of the month moon bosses who are dramatically weaker than anything in Tartarus or, perhaps most irrelevant of them all, Strega???

This joke expires in a day but it's a good one.
No joke, Abzu can be pretty freaky. I remember a couple of jump scares in there.
I don't think any of the creatures themselves were freaky though, they just pop out with some creepy music cues sometimes.

PUBG and maybe hockey jersey new hire day.
thats a dunk
Good on you, Jeff.
It looks phenomenal on the Switch screen. I played the Wii U version for 100h but seeing this and all those great tracks again is great!
I get Jeff's criticism of the game 100%. Sometimes it's just bullshit. But man, I don't care. It's fun.

Austin was pretty down on it. He also didn't like The Witness though so... Yeah.

Someone should inform them the EU server is smoother than the NA server, at least in my experience.

Well Jeff is right, I like Rick and Morty but that dude just shows that Rick and Morty "fans" suck.
How long does it take to finish? 3-4 hours? I'm kind of burned out on Yakuza 0 at the moment and might need a palate cleanser.

Like any "fan" really.
Would be nice to not have people acting like dicks for things they like but alas.

One of us. One of us.
Scary is such a subjective term though but for me I found it to be creepy at times but never scary. Overall it's quite a beautiful and relaxing game, I really enjoyed it.
These guys are like dads to me.
I think I like it more than 4 but less than 3.

your Dad doesn't have to like the same things you do.

Does anyone actually have dads that share a majority of your interests/hobnies?
I feel like the opposite is true more often than not.

Yeah that would be nice, but who are we kidding haha.
Finished the Tender Love Care videos and man, what a fun ride. Not the game, that was bad but the dudes reaction to the videos and the questions produced some amazing moments.
Shame the end of the game didn't went all bonkers, it was pretty tepid.
It wasn't Contradiction but it was pretty good.

Rorie should do all VR content from now on. Jeff has become boring to watch play VR.
The opposite lol, I'm going 4 > 5 > 3.
That's only because I think 3 is boring as fuck for like 4-5 months
Turning the gun on yourself was almost funny the first time doe!!
It's not supposed to be funny.

It was cute when Rorie fully went into space and felt like he was gonna fall
oh shit what if it's just the hockey jerseys
just had an amazing PUBG duo game. Final circle was a super good hilly area with lots of room to maneuver around. My partner died early on in the final 10 but I managed to strafe around and kill a bunch and ended with 8 kills

I like Strega. They made all the shit with Ken and Shinjiro go down, then there's the Junpei/Chidori stuff that elevates Ace Defective to a level Ryuji and especially Yosuke could only dream of. Then they just become all-around desperate fuckers clearly out of their league with what they're trying to accomplish.
P3 isn't so much character-driven as mood driven - it's a game about sorrow and calamity, themes which operate better on a societal level than an individual one - and the characters often come across as somewhat uptight and unbreakable to better sell the moment when all hope of a happy ending is basically fucked. P4 and especially 5 have far stronger characters buuuut I don't think P3 is bad on that front by any means.
I do. It's 5 > 4 > 3 for me. Fairly close between 5 and 4 but with a comfortable lead to 3. I like some of the themes and story beats in 3 but there were also stretches of absolute nothingness and a lot of annoying shit that 4 and especially 5 fixed.

Motherfucker, we got tanaka, akinari, an alcoholic monk, shinjiro and a dog carrying a fucking knife in his mouth.

I like 3 more than 4 almost entirely for that ending, and the way its Sad Boy tone resonates with me more than what 4 does.
But 5 is unarguably better than both. The plot lives up to the standard those games set, and everything else besides that (except the localisation) is ONE THOUSAND times improved. The way they evolved how S. Links hook into the battle system is just brilliance.

I mean i kinda agree.
But.
Like c'mon atlus.
Come up with something else.

You're yet another will of the few fighting off the manifestation of the negative will of the many.

That's what is stopping me from going back to play P4G/P3FESP, the dungeons/battles will probably feel like such a step back from p5 that I don't think its really worth it for me
That was the most pointless shit ever though. Tanaka and shinjiro were okay. I'll give you akinari and the knife carrying dog.
nitpicking about your choice of words aside, i'd argue this particular theme is actually way more specifically important and relevant to the story p5 tells than it was to p3 or especially p4
