Not really. The rites sort of are (there's a term for it that's not isometric but I can't remember it) but the rest of it is basically a gorgeous visual novel
EDIT: Pyre is my favorite Supergiant game

Absolutely. One of the few studios where I'll purchase a game of theirs sight unseen day 1.

I completely understand most the criticism surrounding it and even agree with a good chunk of it. But sometimes a game just hits right place, right time. Persona 5 did that for me even better than Persona 4 Golden. I wouldn't say it's what I'd pick as my "objective" (Read: Game I'd refer to as what all people should consider the GOTY) GOTY, but as far as my favorite game of 2017 goes so far, Persona 5 is it.
It's weird to think that not that long ago, the Beastcast had Austin on it and the level of discourse was much more thought-provoking
Now we have Abby and Dan and the level of discourse is hilarious

If you played the True Ending to Persona 4, it's very much that style of thing with more SMT references.
I liked it, but I'm a sucker for that shit.
So many awesome games this year and there is still some heavy hitters to come for me. I mean some of the games I've loved this year are: Gravity Rush 2, yakuza 0, Resident Evil 7, Nioh, Horizon Zero Dawn, Breath of the Wild, NieR Automata, Persona 5, Tekken 7, Splatoon 2, Hellblade, Mario + Rabbids, Everybody's Golf, Yakuza Kiwami, Destiny 2, Metroid Samus returns, Cuphead

So, does anyone know what Dan's omitted testicle story was?
(There's a sentence I wasn't expecting to type today)
(There's a sentence I wasn't expecting to type today)
I get why everyone says this but really if you look at what came out 2014 was pretty good imo: Bayonetta 2, Dark Souls II, South Park Stick of Truth, Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Destiny, Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition, Super Smash Bros. Wii-U
Are the kids playing while daddy's away?
some kid in little league got hit in the testicles with a baseball and his cup clamped down on his balls basically cutting them off...
I'm sad that I'm going to miss this live. Fucking responsibilities.
In my experience, spicy novelty food items like these are never as hot as they're purported to be.
So you guys are pretty positive on "Persona 5" huh? I played until I finished the first dungeon, and then I put it down for a break to play other games, and I haven't gone back to it yet. It just felt so bleak, lifeless and morose compared to P4. None of the characters really grabbed me so far either. So you're saying I should pick it up again and give it another shot?
what was streamed yesterday

Oh my god. I'm glad they left that out. Holy shit.
Yeah give it another shot, it definitely picks up for sure. Especially as characters become more likable. It's never going to get as good as Persona 4 though. Still a great game and personally my game of the year.
Jeff and Ben playing random PC games I think. I only got to watch the first 20 minutes,

The characters for me never lived up to P4's, but the improved dungeons, overall plot arc, and the way it oozed style was enough for me to see it through to the end.
At the the end of P4 it felt like I was saying goodbye to the closest of friends. P5's ending never gave me that feeling.
Of course you should finish it. It's a slow buildup to greatness.

My persona 5 strategy is now its basically what I play in between everything else.
I am averaging maybe 10 hours a month now.

Ironically I didn't love the story or even the narration of Bastion but I super got into the gameplay

Nah it's pretty bad
...and when I restarted and finished it near Transistor�s release I did enjoy it but I wasn�t exactly blown away.
I did finish it!
so youre saying its also a good game
Its a slow buildup to greatness and then it careens off a cliff into nothingness.

Alexis had a couples dinner date with Danny over facetime 😊
Which ending did you get.
Nah. It was pretty satisfying.
TMS is fun and much more light-hearted.
Jeff?

I just had to admit to myself I'd be totally okay with doing this to a game I hate. But it's okay because it's not like Persona 5 was good for the first half either

Well he beat the game, so that wouldn't quite have the same effect.
The circle is now complete. It would be extra good if Vinny did that.
(Bastion)
Potential time loop or whatever end; I saved him? I think? I forget. It didnt really do anything for me.
(Persona 5) Satisfying is not what I think of
when instead of actually doing anything interesting with Akechi after they finally execute the incredibly obvious twist (during the buildup of which I was spoiled for it anyway) they immediately... kill him off (at least till spinoffs, of course) in the most laughably bad attempt at redeeming a villain Ive seen in a while, such that I fully expected him to still be alive till someone in the OT told me that was it. And with the cast spending a fucking group texts length of time thinking about it before its dropped ENTIRELY from the game barring a few offhand comments near the end that he was supposedly the bad version of Joker. You couldnt at least have him sacrifice himself during the fight with Shido, really? Or have the cast actually say ANYTHING to each other about it? Someone they knew (and spent the past few months trying to deal with!) just fucking DIED in front of them, sacrificing himself for them even, and theyre gonna move on like nothing happened? Not even gonna meet up to be there for each other and work through it, just drop some texts? Seriously? It was completely unsatisfying after waiting the entire game for them to actually get to the point with his part of the plot.
Then the final villain reveal comes out of nowhere (despite me also being spoiled for Igor and trying to see indications of it beforehand). The first 2/3 of the game has no resolution and the last 1/3 has barely any setup. I can hardly call that satisfying.
And the combat devolved into just constant phys crits because lol what are weaknesses and strategy, and yes Ive already been told other SMT games are like this and no that doesnt excuse it.

TMS has way better combat than P5 and I strongly recommend it if youre looking for something fun, yeah
