I was just thinking how entertaining it'd be to watch Dan play through Persona 3, 4 or maybe even 5. It won't happen because I don't think they'll ever do another ER for a Persona game but man that'd be awesome.
As opposed to the original Endurance Run, the VJ DP ER and even something like BioForge, it would just be constant mockery at the game's expense instead of slowly acclimatizing to it and genuinely enjoying it. Guess it'd be entertaining in its own right for that.
The Persona 3/4 story is so strange. To get the full thing, you have to own 3 different consoles and play two 100+ hour JRPGs, two hardcore fighting games, a dungeon crawler, and a rhythm game. I have respect for anyone that's actually keeping up with it.
Well, the P4A series has been pretty successful in several ways, so a fighting game spin-off was obviously a good idea. Atlus seems to like studio collabs as of late as well as experimenting, so what you want could very well happen eventually. It's a good strategy to expand the brand into several kinds of different IP, attracting potentially new fans to the main series as a result.
Getting through and experiencing what the recent Persona games have brought forth does in my opinion, take whole lot of love for the franchise but enough reason to not turn apathetic at every little inconsistency and flaw the spin offs have brought in your opinion. I have considered watching the anime but held off on it and since the golden anime i don't really want to.
The folly of being to much of a fan will make you waaaaay more sensitive to the "product line" that comes of your favorite thing. I understand why the crew didn't like the ending to Catherine, it was too crazy/dumb for their expectations they got of persona 4. I sorta knew that atlus likes to make gods and geometric figures with and without faces on them, that are also gods, final bosses in their games and the fact that the Persona team made catherine did not stand in the way of this tradition. If you had told me that it didn't involve supernatural bs to the max then i would have called you a fraught. Your love for the franchise, and your individual expectations can make you blind to the reality of things.
ASW is the best company to have handled a Persona fighting game. What, would you have rathered NetherRealm?

I totally would have preferred P4 Arena made by Netherrealm. At least the story mode wouldn't have been 95% reading text if they made it. Maybe I actually would have finished the story mode then.

I can't fault you for not liking those games. They are made for people that are already invested into that sort of anime and VN thing. Hating on it being an anime fighter is rather pointless if it was going to cater to this anime fighting audience in the first place.It's what popular in japan where the marketing and developers are. They target young age groups that love the Persona games and spend their money on it. Doing a western approach isn't an idea that would be on their mind.
My only issue is that you know they're going to do something funny with the spelling of the name. they'll probably rotate the W 360 degrees so that it looks like a W, for example.
Man, if only I was good at fighting games and was willing to put the time in to learn all the crazy amounts of systems in that Persona 4 Arena game. At least its cool to watch people play? I don't know. The amount of fan service is right up my alley being a P4 super fan.
Reallly tempted to eventually get a vita and finally play golden. P4 on the go sounds amazing.
Surprised there hasn't been any vitriol over Dan saying Episode 1 was better than any Lord of the Rings movie. I've never seen anything from either franchise, but both sets of fans seem like a defensive bunch.

Rewatching the Jeff Sick Day video from 2012, and I realized that Jeff needs to stream a bunch of those lesseer known/shitty original xbox games. Like those two Scooby Doo games.

it's kind of a shame that he seems to have dismissed P3 so easily, even though I admit it's not as good of a game in either mechanics or story (and the story is decidedly more anime than even P4).
But still, there's a lot of that old familiar character interaction/social link stuff that is handled really well.
Watching the Alien: Isolation QL and did Dan just drop a spoiler unprompted in the middle of it? (potential character identity spoiler)
During the Samuels transmission cutscene he mentions Samuels is an Android. I'm sure that wasn't mentioned up to that point. I'm a bit further than Brad at that point and don't remember it being mentioned either subtle or explicitly.
I might be wrong and it might've been said earlier on in the game but either it passed me by (like Brad thinks it did him) or it was a spoiler from later on in the game (Dan being further along than Brad).
I mean, I suspected it and expected it to happen but I wasn't certain. If it was announced or hinted at earlier then obviously this is a non thing but it caught me off guard.
complaining about save spots and checkpointing kinda falls flat when you just walk past places to save, and this is from someone who did get frustrated with the same sequences brad and dan did

Probably was a spoiler since it wasn't mentioned in the game up to that point (or the point that I'm at now) but it's Alien, so
OF COURSE someone has to be a secret android and I had that dude pegged from the beginning, confirmed it by shooting him in the head as soon as I met up with him on the station.

that's why the game allowed you to go to the next previous save or in an absolute pinch the start of the mission. the design is fine for the game it is, even in the first alien encounter there are a whole three save points in the environment to be used

He claimed that that was mentioned very early in the game in a more cryptic way IIRC. Dan had just got up to the point where Brad finished the QL IIRC, so either he was mistaken or you missed the stuff Dan talked about very early in the game. I wouldn't worry about spoilers in that instance.

I think only Dan mentioned that he had missed a save point that one time, and after having played the game 4 hours today I think that's something I will do too in the game at some point because the game is so tense that I sometimes forget to look for save points. If anything will stop me from playing this game it will be the save system. I fucking hate manual only save system, especially in games like this one where it's so easy to die and die to bullshit if you're not careful. Having a system like that to create tension is just a crutch imo, I would've preferred a more frequent auto save system or (this would be my choice) a more normal quick save system. Make the game scary and filled with tension by designing the game that way, not by making the player lose 30 minutes if he fucks up.

Yep, you're meant to infer it from the introductory sequence. It's dropped like it's no big deal explicitly later in the game during some incidental in-game dialogue. Not a spoiler at all.
You can also discover this if you try shooting him in the head. Lol video games
Yeah, I don't think Dan ever said that he was stuck like that at any point, just that he fucked up by missing a save point so he had to go back to where Brad started the QL after the alien killed him.
Going through more of the old videos for nostalgia/boredom's sake. And you want to talk about something weird? Way weirder than X-com being their GOTY?
Asura's Wrath being on several top 10 lists. Still SO weird
