[Venfayth]

This is awesome :3

My Vita was basically a Persona machine for the longest time. The only game I played on launch was P3P which clocked somewhere around 300 hours. Then I played a bit of Gravity Rush with the occasional SotN speedrun. Then P4G came out There are a lot of games on it now though,for which I am thankful.

lol

Funny story about that. I saw the comic a few months ago, and didn't get it. I immediately typed in Marin Karin into google / searchboxes of every forum I could think of to fully immerse myself. It's another reason why I regret not getting into Persona sooner!

In other news, I ordered Persona 4: Arena off ebay!

Aww this Arena talk is really making me want to get it. But I'm a poor EUer and I'm not sure if I want to give Zen my money after the whole debacle. :/

The game is good, get it.

 

[Joqu]

I really suck at fighting games though.

 

[cjkeats]

So do I, but it's a pretty easy one to get into. I still have a lot of fun with it.

 

[Venfayth]

Atlus hates Europeans. If you ever give them money again you are literally cancer.

Personally, I'm just renting it. The whole release has been a complete farce.

I have no idea why anybody would want to support it at this point.

 

[Joqu]

I'd rent it if game rentals weren't outlawed in Belgium. >_>

funny story

I wanted to rent a slew of games (Tomb Raider, Injustice, etc) but my local rogers stopped renting out games. Apparently Rogers stores don't rent out movies or games anymore?

Awesome mains. I think I should pick an extra character (Chie?) so we can have an even amount of mains.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU DO THOSE EYES DANTIS

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT

Kaneko lashes!


Also, that's totally going to be P5's summon method.

 

[buddha0991]

You plank to summon in P5, as Igor is demonstrating:

Not bitter.

Not bitter.

Everything about the game makes me mad, haha!

Kaneko lashes!

This is a large part of it. To a large extent they're just normal eyes but bigger and rounder.

 

[Omikaru]

Can sympathise with Dantis. Only reason I still have my pre-order open is because it's a cheap pre-order, and I'm not 100% on whether I want the game or not. Will decide a week or so before release.

Not happy at being treated like shit by all parties involved.

 

[Joqu]

I must say that this and the Devil Survivor Overclocked bugs have made me feel pretty bitter about Atlus as of late. Hopefully the agreement with NISA will change the situation here.

I shouldn't be kidding myself though, I'll probably still buy Persona 4 Arena anyway. >>

Quick question- I really liked P3 and P4, and really didn't like what I played of P1 and IS. Am I going to like either of the SMT games coming out on 3DS this year?

What didn't you like? I'm in the same boat, but what I didn't like was just the slow gameplay.

SMT IV should be better and not stuck in the 90's. I hope anyways.
I'm assuming the other is Soul Hackers. We will get next week. Looks like they sped it up, but it's very much still a 90's-ass grindy JRPG, because it's a port.

P1 and IS don't really play like Soul Hackers/SMT IV, mercifully.

Soul Hackers isn't all that grindy.

The 90s-ness of them was the turnoff. I don't have as much time to play games anymore, so stuff like grinding (which I never had to do in P3 or P4 to finish the game), obtuse battle mechanics (talking to monsters), and the first person exploration of P1 just scream out at me to put my time elsewhere.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Yukari got Sick Status one day before the fight with Nyx.
;_______; this game hates me.

As a general rule, DON'T use Persona 1 as a barometer for the other classic SMT games. Persona 1 is not that great of a game, where as Soul Hackers is arguably the best of the classic SMT games.

Soul Hackers isn't very grindy, and the first person exploration is much better. Strange Journey is the best comparison, if you ask me.

Yukari got Sick Status one day before the fight with Nyx.

Sick status is automatically removed on story event days, including the final battle.

Have you tried Nocturne of Digital Devil Saga? Those would probably be better comparisons.

Also, first person dungeon crawling is the same as third person. You're still just running around a maze.

Every game you guys like sucks. Every game I like is baller as hell.

Maybe I will watch My Big Bro Can't Be This Fly so that I can make you dislike things you like because I like them, just because.

lol. Remember that thread? At one point I thought to myself "This must be what buddha feels like when people shit on the Persona games he likes".

No joke: I just started an episode of King of the Hill I had on my DVR when I loaded this page.

Amazing.

They got their evokers ready and everything


And no CJ, if people hate on the older games, (Particularly the 2 duology) I just accept it and think its a shame they are missing out on the best story of the series, but its their call.
