Dan, I just want you to know that you can grab/throw people when they are on the ground when you are in Beast style and it is fun as shit.

If Dan had a persona, what would it be?

Also I dunno, I like the characters in Persona 5 more than 4. Chie was awesome, Yosuke sucked, Yukiko sucked, Rise sucked, Teddie is alright but Morgana is better, and Kanji was cool. Ryuuji is a punk but he isn't a piece of shit like Yosuke, and I'm still early on but Makoto is a badass

If Dan had a persona, what would it be?

Dan's hatred of Drawn to Death is both hilarious and strange at the same time. The game doesn't really do anything for me personally, but at the same time, it seems like the humor would be right up Dan's alley. Also, his aversion towards anime is weird as hell. Like, I'm not an anime guy at all, but I can still enjoy stuff that's anime. I get the feeling that it's just some deep seeded thing that he picked up from Metal Gear that all people who like Anime are losers like Otacon. I'm starting to think that close-mindedness and ignorance just run in the Ryckert family.
they are also hilarious and genuine, so not all bad

This is like that episode of SpongeBob where Squidward wont try a Crabby Patty. One day Dan is going to try and anime and just get hooked. He's just afraid that he'll end up liking it lol

Edit: Oh shit, I just realized that this is just Dan not being able to come to terms with his True Self just like in Persona!! I wonder what Carl Jung would say about Dan.

I'm not convinced P5 will even be on any of the guys top 10 at this point.
And hey, if Destiny 2 is GOTY material I'd totally be okay with it winning.
It would mean that they made the game Destiny 1 could've been.

I'm not convinced people actually like P5 more than P4.

I need to go back to Persona 2 at some point.

From P3 onward it's much like Mario Kart -- there's a good chance your first will be your favorite.

Golden was my entry point and Persona 3 is better is pretty much every way except it lacks direct control in combat. Persona 5 might end up being my favorite after this.
 
Dan knows it's a dumb defense. He's not taking that seriously at all and I'm not sure why some of you are. It's just something to laugh at.

I like Dan but I also get tired of his shtick.

In this specific case I feel like I've heard this lame argument 9 times. I know what he's going to say before he's gonna say it and I know it makes no sense. Like I said, I'm fine with him not having an interest, I'd just rather they leave it at that than press him to do the song and dance over again.

And I'm not trying to rag on Dan, because he doesn't volunteer to go into that shtick, he listens politely, and when asked says it doesn't appeal to him. That's totally cool.

I want to hurry up and finish Zelda so I can play Persona 5 but I don't want to rush such a great game. Ugh, hate this feeling. Feels like having a paper due.

P2 is ROUGH in the gameplay department but the story goes places.
It's actually really depressing and dark at times, way moreso than modern Persona games.
Worth seeing at least, if not playing.
 
The Persona 5 Defense Force showing up is making the thread feel like we are on the Gaming side again.

It's a good thing Giant Bomb isn't reviewing Persona 5 because they would probably give it a 4 which by my calculations would bring the MetaCritic average from 94.2133 to 93.897 and we can't have that

There, now we're like the review thread

Yeah, the gameplay of the early games doesn't hold up well, but they are fascinating to see. They all have a unique, eerie atmosphere to them.

I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but can someone edit Dan's reasoning for not playing Persona back to back with Paul Ryckert's reasoning for not watching Westworld when Dan recommended it to him in a holiday podcast?

P2EP>P3P>P2IS>P4AU2.0 patch>P3 the answer>P4


I'm not done with p5 but it's prolly right before IS



If you really want that p4 follow up, pay someone to compliment you over the phone while you're jacking off to a mirror
 
I'm not into turn based JRPGs. The only one I loved and enjoyed playing was Pokemon. To me, giving a command to a Pokemon to do what is necessary when it is your turn makes sense but when it comes to other games I'm always like "Why the fuck would you just stand there with your enemy right infront of you?" obviously, it's like chess and while I like chess, I don't like it being made into gameplay. If that makes any sense.

I always love when it when Dan talks about Metal Gear Solid. I know exactly where he's coming from on the Beastcast, I'd put it in this way. The more serious and grounded stuff in the MGS world I feel, overshadow the unrealistic things in the long run. However, for me I can't get into Persona not because of its tone but because it's turn based. Really enjoyed the discussion!

Stopped the quick look as soon as that bass dropped and bought the game. I'm all about the rhythm games which reminds me, I wish they'd bring Rock Band Blitz on Xbox one. I adore that game.
you can't change dan's opinions and genuine likes/dislikes, but man, he's never going to accept he likes anime bullshit is he

Well, he thought Akira is alright and he likes/loves Cowboy Bebop.
Let's stop speculating about who was or wasn't a pornstar and find out if This is The Run

Vinny got this, from episode 1 he knows what Dan's weakness is. He just needs to be more patient and now with him knowing there's no chip damage, it should be alot more smoother for him. Good stuff.

Giant Bomb the 28th OTl Remember that time they did that thing with Persona 4 almost a decade ago and no one will ever let them forget it?
