Persona 5 Review Thread

Looks like Edge (80), Digital Trends (70) and Games Master UK (95) are still missing from Metacritic.

Score's probably down to a 93 now for those who care lol.

Regardless, with Persona 5 adding onto the pile of well reviewed turn based games I hope this gives off onto other companies such as Square-Enix. Turn based isn't dead and it never was.

Sorry, that's not valid criticism or critique at all. You can literally say that about ANY game or series. "It sure would be swell if I could play this on the go and pause/pick up whenever I felt like it." It's just dumb.

See I guess her opinion is colored by Golden and the fact that all Persona titles have portable renditions. I'm assuming because it's been damn near a decade since we've gotten a new numbered Persona, that she's forgotten that those always start on console and the re-release is portable.

Happens all the time everyone keeps talking about the lowest given score and give those sites the most clicks how about ignore them and talk about the rest of the reviews not only the lowest scoring ones and if you really hate them temporarily put on a adblock check it out then leave and remove it done

World of Final Fantasy was turn-based and it was criminally overlooked. It was such a great, charming little game.

[quote="XiaNaphryz, post: 232991197"]Guys, let's not derail on some stupid platform warz bullshit please. This is a review thread for a specific game.[/QUOTE]

Let's stop with spamming these images, this has nothing to do with Persona 5 reviews. Enough platform stanning garbage nonsense.
 
I don't have time for a 100 hour game. :'(

Giantbomb pls....

I understand this sentiment.
However, the game is better designed to be digested in 1hour chunks than P4/P4G was, since you can save anywhere at any time outside of dungeons, and there are more breaks in the dungeon that let you save.
Combine this with the PS4's suspend/resume feature and the experience can get pretty pick up and go. If you go this route, however, I strongly recommend a pad of paper and a pen so you don't completely lose track of what you were doing.

If persona doesnt sell remarkably well, its going to give them the opposite impression.
rushed 81 mc game sells 6m and possibly more
fantastic 94 mc game drags it feet to 2mn?

we need to keep in mind p5 wont have the advantage of being the lone good game on a console like it was with golden

Man I would kind of love to get this (and I could, if I boot up my PS3 again), but bleh, I don't think I would get that far in, and I have other games to look forward to anyway, including a couple RPGs already, like eventually checking out Nier.

Still, keep rocking Persona, and this year continues to be quite amazing.

Not that interested in the reviews themselves outside of a handful (RPGSite's was very insightful), but seeing a turn based JRPG made by Atlus review this well in 2017 is fantastic news.

Hopefully all this will affect sales positively and the franchise (and genre) can truly flourish in the west.

Best PS4 game so far. And we're talking about 2017, the best year in modern gaming.

GTAV (97) and Last of Us Remastered (95) are rated higher.


All 3 are PS3 games funnily enough.

GET IT! I also ordered the PS3 version myself, the PS3 was the lead platform anyway and if you're fine with 720p then there is nothing to fear.

That shit took 10 years

doesnt matter how long it took or what it was called back when it was a cg cutscene ,
the actual ffxv is clearly rushed, be it because of the 3 years development cycle or the in development engine, i dunno. anyone not purposely pushing bait-y narratives can see that.
