Atlus got your money though, so I guess it's no skin off their nose! :b
£13 was a steal and I really wanted the CD.
£13 is less than Zen will have sold it to Zavvi for. Nobody made money from the transaction, Zavvi just lost less.

My biggest fear is that you'll just hate on the score for not being Meguro. I love Soul Hackers' music.
That said, use headphones. The audio coding on SH sucks.

isnt just under half the music actually Meguro? Also, I think he already doesn't like it THAT much. He doesnt like P2's ost and once told me the original Revelations: Persona ost is "just noise" compared to Shin Megami Tensei: Persona PSP lol
I used to do that on weekends. Got a shit load of gaming in.
I'm full time M-F now and I'm lucky if I can sit down for more than 10 minutes at a time. Luckily I have my phone so as I go inbetween jobs, I can look for a minute or two.

More like under a quarter. Most of it was Tsukasa Masuko(I think, I keep getting the old school composers mixed up).
No talk of would-be gangsters is complete without the scraftmeister.
I would do more but I have a test to study for.

Oh, the wasted opportunities for him to hear random tracks and say they suck without knowing Meguro did them.
Whatever helps you sleep at night. You despise it and decided you did long ago, but you bought it anyway.
That's kind of the dumbest thing ever, no matter the price. £13 could've been a meal, but I guess the fan fever's got you bad.

I can actually relate to this. I still own Revelations Persona, and we all know how bad that is.
Then again, it's a collector's item to say the least.
My favorite tracks are Amami Airport, Spookies, and the overworld BGM.
Such a good OST. I truly hope Dantis enjoys it.
(And, uh, plays it. HI EP)
Yeah, I mean it's fine. Not for me though. I can't imagine being that into something. If I don't like it I won't buy it. Period. "But it was only (_)$!" is an idiotic excuse.
But I'm sure you don't "despise" Revelations.

You must have liked revelations at one point, Dantis has done nothing but hate P4A since...well....for a long ass while!

Haha nice job
I actually did the same (with a few exceptions)
I can provide a reason for each of the pokemon on mah pictas that cites their personality or story traits. For example:
Kanji:
Primape: Easily angered, yet docile and playful when not angry
Pangoro: While we don't have dex info on Pangoro yet everything from its design fits Kanji, right down to the furry cape
Granbull: "It is timid in spite of its looks. If it becomes enraged, however, it will strike with its huge fangs." nuff said
Electivire: Big and Strong, prone to get into fights, and zaps foes with electricity.
Wigglytuff: We all know Kanji would NEED a Wigglytuff in his team
Ampharos: I can imagine young Kanji when his team only consisted of a Snubbull and Pamcham, seeing a wild Mareep in the fields of Inaba and immediately falling in love with its fluffy wool. He catches it and continues to love and care for it and use its wool in many knitting projects until it gradually falls down as it evolves into Flaafy and later Ampharos.

It was my first SMT game. I'll always treasure it. At the time it was like nothing else.
To an extent it still is.
NO WAY. Play IS first. You have the chance those of us in 99 never did.
And it has lots of random battles and isometric dungeons. If you can handle that, you're fine.
(People love EO, why is EP so obtuse?)

Tarot grinding, persona level grinding, IS PSP's complete lack of difficulty almost to the point where you have to purposely try to die, and the encounter rate, really. I am in the opinion that IS PSP is a botched port.
No it isn't. You're silly.
I wanted the game because it's Persona (And I wanted the CD). If it was £40 I wouldn't buy it. But it was £13 so I thought, "Hey, why not? The CD along is £6 on Ebay so I might as well go the whole hog!"
Always so quick to attack me, Ron!
I think I'll enjoy the game. No idea about the OST. Keep in mind I enjoyed P1 and P2.

To be fair, IS was always an easy game. It's actually rebalanced. The final boss is on par with the rest of the game on the PSP version. In the PS1 version he is NUTS.

So you need to go finish P2.

Soul Hackers is the priority because it's a rental. Apparently it's sub-30 hours, so that's good.

Speaking of EP the rumourmongers don't have nearly as many rumours as in IS. Where am I supposed to get armour from? I spread one for Clair de Lune but that's nowhere to be found.

Fuuka should have gotten more useless pokemon.
She's still my second favorite P3 girl.

Shame there are no ice/fighting types for Chie. Why'd you pick Walrein?
Lord Scrambles
Member
Because although its prevolutions are cuddly and playful Walrein is tough, and fiercely protective of it's heard.
TBH that spot was originally filled by Vanilluxe, but I thought that it was a better fit for a rounder, topsicle loving member of the investigation team.

I want to see pictures of Pokemon Trainers with demons. That's the fun stuff.
Though are they up to the challenge of devil summoning?
Though are they up to the challenge of devil summoning?
Should have added a Taruos or Milktank for good measure.
I finished my first one. I focused mostly on making sure they fit the personality as well as they could as opposed to making sure their types matched. i naturally chose my favorite character. (The one I chose is physically oriented anyway)
Left to right:
Aggron: Rough, irritable, but takes care of what it has.
Gardevoir: More feminine aspect, devoted to protecting the people that care for them.
Tyranitar: Intimidating, temperamental and mostly violent, but capable of being nurturing.
Scrafty: Thug that can be tamed and made a force for good.
Wigglytuff: Hits Kanji'sheart for supereffective damage.and my
Dunsparce:Odd, reclusive, poorly understood but ultimately very loveable.
Nice team composition, but where are the electric-types?
His element is an important aspect of his character, imo.
If you ask me, the one Pokemon that embodies Kanji the most is Electivire, mostly because of it's design & gameplay stats. (Big Electric guy with a physical oriented moveset)
According to the pokedex, it fights without a regard for it's own safety which is kind of what Kanji does.

I rather doubt they would be safe around Chie
Until you discover it's pretty meh.
What'd you think of GTA V? (No spoilers plz, I'm not done.)

Heh, good call. Though it would be cool if you used legends. I mean, Trial of the Dragon
Also Moltres, Trismegistus, fire type bird things.

For some reason I started picking through my Wii games and found I had a copy of Trauma Center New Blood from before I realized it was an Altus game and more than just "that doctor game on wii and DS". I think I might have got it for the missus back then because she wanted to play it and never thought much of it.
Some may remember when we mentioned the series a while back, I started and played the entirety of the DS version of the first one a day or two, but quit at the last boss because it was ridiculously frustrating. Anyways I'm planning on tracking the rest of the Wii games and Under the Knife 2 down and playing the whole thing, especially Team because I hear it's awesome. I dig the story too from what I saw in the first.
But the Atlus voice pool is showing again, as so far this is Dr. Kanji assisted by Nurse Aigis.

It plagues games in general, and more often than not, the voice actors are delivering the exact same performance. I guess it boils down to the practicality of such things, particularly with a company that is all about working within relatively small margins. I just wish that every once in a while, the directors would demand a varied delivery.
Pedantic in the extreme, but it's "missus".
That's cool, you mentioned a storm was coming. Still shoulda let me know what happened.
I'm more interested in Aigis in a nurse uniform.
Possible if you consider his new look in that new Golden epilogue lol
So my friend liked Angel Beats and heard that Persona 4 the Animation had the same director so he's going to watch it. What are the chances that he'll end up playing P4(G)?
It's a toss up. The adaptation is mediocre but the story foundation is solid. It depends on what leaves more of an impression.
Hard to say. If he watches the anime, he'll have the whole story spoiled in a less than ideal way.
But then again, he likes Angel Beats, so his standards are pretty low! He'll probably dig it a lot.

Peace Walker has characters named Hot Coldman and Pacifica Ocean.
MGS4 has two stupid scenes and several awesome ones.
Plus MGS4 is best MGS :T
Is there any way to get him
The anime isn't bad, but it's a supplement to the game, and not a substitution. Watching it before playing paints a very different picture.
