They just announced a Persona skiing event, which is partly promoting P4G. There's always time for Persona hawking.

[Ludger Kresnik]

Sega are a gracious bunch, they're okay with just getting ©SEGA on the back cover.

No Persona Party? Shame, Atlus.

Yosuke as Peach
Yukiko as Luigi

I see what they did there

 

[Modest Mauser]

Atlus is in the business of selling Persona, not Playstations.

I know, it's just a joke

man, now i wish this was a thing

along with persona party and persona kart

So Soul-chan sent me a copy of Persona Q which means I now own every major Persona game. Which is the better story path p3 or p4 or does it not really matter?

It comes down to which game did you prefer, which cast would you like to see more of, and which protagonist would you rather see talk - (on the P3 path the Persona 4 protagonist talks and vice versa)

I personally prefer the P4 route since it gives P3MC the chance to be his own man.
That and Yu isn't weak to darkness.

No idea how the story differs tho (probably just conversations in the dungeon and a few strolls).

There's actually a lot of changes, but they're mostly small after the first couple of hours

Just pick the team you'd rather spend a slightly longer time with I'd say

 

[Ganzlinger]

I'm loving Persona Q. I'm at the third dungeon, P3 side. I'll play with P4 side after finishing.

 

[MudoSkills]

You get different event scenes on both paths. I preferred the ones on the P4 route.

 

[A Dead Diehard]

A word of warning, a fair bit of the cast are horrible caricatures early on (including the new characters). Most of them get better further in.

I'm on the third dungeon, too.

Spoiler

Just like I've been the past six months because this game is boring as sin.

I prefer the P4 cast to the P3 cast, but it'd be weird to see Minato talking where as Yu talking is something I'm used to. That and we get so many P4 games where as the full P3 cast kinda gets the shaft. Guess I'll try P3 first

I remember the P3 cast getting their time to shine in my P4 run, but I understand.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Ugh. I wanted to get Q from Amazon's Black Fridsy sale, but noooooooo. They had to just screw up one of the only items I cared about.

Not even going to lie. I'd play the shit out of this.

 

[atlusprime]

Serious question: In 2016 when the game releases, would you read P5 reviews or avoid them like the plague? Assume the reviews go live before the game hits the streets.

 

[Zolo]

Probably avoid them. I already know I'm getting the game brand new no matter what the reception is. I also have confidence in the team that at worst, it'll still be decent.

 

[KenjiGlove]

Serious question: In 2016 when the game releases, would you read P5 reviews or avoid them like the plague? Assume the reviews go live before the game hits the streets.

I'm probably going to check if the game is working properly on launch but I'll try to avoid everything related to the story/features.

 

[CrimsonFist]

I'll open and grow a gaming website so that by the point Persona 5 comes out, I qualify for a review copy anyway.

Serious answer: probably avoid, I don't tend to bother with reviews for stuff anyway, and we'll probably have a decent idea as to how it was received in Japan by that point anyway.

Also, I like how far the graphics have come since TGS:

obsessively read them. I'll probably be dying of hype by that point.

 

[Lunar15]

Serious question: In 2016 when the game releases, would you read P5 reviews or avoid them like the plague? Assume the reviews go live before the game hits the streets.

I'm going to avoid them like crazy. I don't even think I want to know what the scores are. I'd like to be as unbiased as possible. I don't want to overhype or also go in knowing about a bunch of negatives that I'll constantly be looking for.

 

[arue]

Serious question: In 2016 when the game releases, would you read P5 reviews or avoid them like the plague? Assume the reviews go live before the game hits the streets.

I'd avoid them because reviews can deflate my excitement. Why read reviews when I'll get the game in <1 week anyway? (Hopefully the street date won't get broken by that far).

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Serious question: In 2016 when the game releases, would you read P5 reviews or avoid them like the plague? Assume the reviews go live before the game hits the streets.

I'm going to read the reviews from the critics I like. I won't go full ham and read everything until I play it myself.

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

Serious question: In 2016 when the game releases, would you read P5 reviews or avoid them like the plague? Assume the reviews go live before the game hits the streets.

The only parts I might read would be snippets posted on GAF. I definitely won't be seeking reviews out, and I don't see myself participating in any potential review thread.

 

[atlusprime]

I'm going to fight some bitches if street date breaks.

 

[Ganzlinger]

Serious question: In 2016 when the game releases, would you read P5 reviews or avoid them like the plague? Assume the reviews go live before the game hits the streets.

I'm gonna just check the scores so I won't get spoiled and, at the same time, have my expectations adjusted. I'll play regardless of the result since Persona is a dear franchise to me.

 

[Kozmos]

Serious question: In 2016 when the game releases, would you read P5 reviews or avoid them like the plague? Assume the reviews go live before the game hits the streets.

I'll be avoiding them. Part of what was so great about playing P3 and 4 was not knowing anything going in.

 

[CrimsonFist]

I hear there's this country where the street date could be broken up to months in advance.

Spoiler

When you live in Europe, it's called America.

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

Serious question: In 2016 when the game releases, would you read P5 reviews or avoid them like the plague? Assume the reviews go live before the game hits the streets.

I'd be looking up import impressions and Japanese reviews at the very least. My hype may not be off the charts, but I'm still a young man with needs...........

 

[Modest Mauser]

Serious question: In 2016 when the game releases, would you read P5 reviews or avoid them like the plague? Assume the reviews go live before the game hits the streets.

I played Persona 3 and 4 without knowing anything about them beforehand, and they ended being such great rides. I want to do the same thing with Persona 5.

Especially in a game so focused on its story and characters I really want to know as little as possible beforehand.

 

[Cannon_Fodder]

Serious question: In 2016 when the game releases, would you read P5 reviews or avoid them like the plague? Assume the reviews go live before the game hits the streets.

All I want to know is how well it runs on PS3 and PS4, and how the two versions compare technically.

 

[Modest Mauser]

Ohh... I forgot, this too. If impressions on technical performance are out pretty early it might be the push I need to finally get a PS4 if P5 is markedly better on the current-gen system.

i'll most likely end up reading them, even though i shouldn't. i ended up spoiling pretty much all of MGSV for myself before it came out, even though i told myself over and over i wouldn't look at spoilers

spoilers are just so tempting, man

 

[Nimby]

I won't be reading but I'll be watching for scores because I'm a hypocrite.

 

[Stronginthearm]

I'll avoid the reviews before I play it. I'll read them after I beat it just to see what people thought of it.

 

[somotodsyo]

As much as I'd like to avoid reviews, I know I can't once they're out so I'll read a few. I generally think they don't spoil too much anyway.

 

[Lusankya]

As much as I'd like to avoid reviews, I know I can't once they're out so I'll read a few. I generally think they don't spoil too much anyway.

Exactly, so I will watch all videos provided by Atlus and most of the preview/review videos. As long as they don't reveal critical story sectons, I don't feel spoiled.

I'm going to be 24 years old and playing a game about trying to date high school girls to make better Satans.

Well, I will be 32 by then and don't see a problem. The character I play can be any age honestly.

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

oh yeah that's a thing

I'm still a last-gen ho who'll have to get a PS4 for Nier anyway so if P5 is totally busted on PS3 I might have to speed up my plans

 

[JCX]

You all were right, the live version of The Battle for Everyone's Souls is fantastic, wish that were in the game instead of the boring in-game version.
