Mostly Persona 5 weaboos

Baby baby baby baby baby

I'm going be that guy and say I have never been able to get into persona and do not understand the appeal.

 

[jshackles]

Now imagine how well they would have done if this game wasn't on Microsoft Game Pass

Good for you

It's a game for pre-teen weaboos now.

Persona 4 was the best one.
Some say it's Persona 2, which featured adults in the main cast.

 

[LordCBH]

It's a fucking kick ass remake.

It could have become the fastest selling game in ATLUS history x2

I'm loving this game so well deserved!

I'm going be that guy and say I have never been able to get into persona and do not understand the appeal.

people like the combat, story, characters and stylish artstyle.

 

[LakeOf9]

Deserved

 

[sigmaZ]

But it didn't break the record set by Palworld! Ha! /s
So far Im loving the game. Has a much more enjoyable tone than the other Persona games. Still has some of the dark feel from the first persona and blue is one of my favorite colors lol
I'm having to alternate between in and Like a Dragon so it will be awhile before I complete either though.

 

[consoul]

Alright! Let's get some of those P5 casuals into a darker SMT game. This is a good thing.

[The Wheel of Fortune]

The original + FES is one of my favourite games of all time and IMO it's the best Persona by far. Honestly, well deserved!

 

[Flabagast]

Most probably sold significantly more than Suicide Squad which must have had 20x times its budget. Crazy

 

[Soltype]

Crazy that this and Infinite Wealth launched so close and both sold well, hope Sega can keep this momentum.

 

[Arsic]

Curious how Metaphor will stack up to this.

I do believe you forgot the music! So god tier they made multiple rhythm game spin-offs of 3-5.

 

[Team Andromeda]

SEGA are on fire of late #HappyDays

 

[Bkdk]

Jan and Feb so far are some of the best months in terms of major releases having no ugly major female characters, thanks to asian developers!

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Wow, congrats to Atlus, Japan is absolutely dominating the first few months of 2024.

Doubtful. Suicide Squad likely hit 1M in less than a week.

It's not over yet March it also packed....

And in April....

 

[MagnesD3]

Stories like this make me believe the gaming industry is growing alot

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

And that's P3R. Imagine Persona 6 numbers

 

[Flabagast]

Doubtful. Suicide Squad likely hit 1M in less than a week.

Dont think so. Maximum CCU on steam is several times lower than Persona 3

 

[Sakura]

I imagine PC day one plus global release being a big factor here. Hard to guage whether it's really because it's increased in popularity or not.

 

[Puscifer]

I'm going be that guy and say I have never been able to get into persona and do not understand the appeal.

At least play Persona 2, it's not a 120 hour mega adventure and you get to fight mecha Hitler!

 

[March Climber]

Which part is the most benign to you?

The high school aspect?
The anime-esque writing?
The social links?
The Tartarus Dungeon?
The turn based combat?

 

[Three]

Dont think so. Maximum CCU on steam is several times lower than Persona 3

Conversely Suicide Squad actually topped the sales charts above P3R.

 

[saintjules]

Nice for them! I'm enjoying what I'm playing so far. I will say I think this only happened because people are hungry for Persona 6 and this is the next best thing to play while we're waiting.

 

[saintjules]

I know it's /s but it says in ATLUS history, not Pocket Pair history.

 

[Danjin44]

Personally I'm currently way more excited for Metaphor more than Persona 6.

Hashino is no longer making Persona games and I don't know what new team is gonna do with P6 but Hashino's new games is always exciting, especially the fact I highly enjoyed the new IP he made last time (Catherine).

 

[TGO]

Well, Persona 4 Remake is definitely coming then.

 

[STARSBarry]

I mean its Persona with guns and kids going to school with them, it will appeal to the Americans more than others.

Edit: had to change my original comment about it not doing well on xbox, because it landed at like number 11 on xbox most played today, I have no idea why it took 5 days to show up when suicide squad released the same day and showed up immediately at like number 30.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Well deserved!

 

[Lupin25]

This is how badly people want Persona 6


$100 for a remake I'll wait on that.

 

[Plies]

No thanks, I'll stick to the uncensored version.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

No thanks, I'll stick to the uncensored version.

I don't think it's censored all that much, at least not the girls' sexy costumes.

 

[Dazraell]

Will wait for the complete version with rumored Answer DLC, but I'm glad to hear Persona 3 remake is successful

 

[Barakov]

I don't think it's censored all that much, at least not the girls' sexy costumes.

 

[Astray]

I've personally learned to always wait for the complete/enhanced version with Atlus fare.

Will even skip P6 at launch to get P6R or whatever it's gonna be called.

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

If i just played through Persona 3 Portable within the last year, is it worth playing this one......ie....enough changes, etc.....to make it worth it or no?
