Support NeoGAF

[Omikaru]

once again, the persona series consists of more than just persona 3 and persona 4 (and persona 3 FES and persona 3 portable and persona 4 golden and persona 4 arena and persona 4 the tv series and persona 3 the movies)

There are Persona games I don't like either. Well, just the one: Persona 1. I don't come into this thread and make snide remarks about it and the people who do like it, or incessantly moan about the fact that the first Persona just hasn't aged gracefully.

With that in mind, what makes you think you can constantly bang the drum about how much you pretend to hate P3 and P4 and all the spinoff media so much without adding anything to the discussion? Because that's pretty much all you do in this thread.

 

[Sophia]

Nobody believes that you actually think this.

He disproved his own argument (AND ADMITTED IT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE) when he streamed Revelations: Persona for us in the Steam chat. Nobody should have to suffer that PS1 world map man.... ;_;

Bu bu bu bu but Omi you're on NeoGAF you're supposed to hate on everything.

i don't do that though?

*shrug*

I disagree. Atlus generally make solid games, and P1 and P2 are no exception. They're much more standard in terms of design relative to P3 and P4, but they're still well built and have a kind of retro charm to them.

You just said a rational statement. Dantis is the voice of reason, we have truly reached on odd time.

No I don't actually like Persona 1 at all. Nope. It was all a lie. I am all a lie. I am Ghost Dad.

Ok, super cereal question:


Want to play persona 4 arena, don't have a fighting stick. Is there any cheap ways to go with this?

P4A is perfectly playable on the Dualshock 3. It's timing for specials is very lenient. Only issue you might have is your thumb hurting after awhile.

 

[Meia]

Then I just have to train myself out of not mashing? Ok then.

Fight sticks do not make someone better at a fighting game. In fact, if one is not used to them, it will be significantly harder to play with a fight stick as you take time to get used to it. A lot of people play with them because that's the control method they are used to, but there are plenty of competitive players who play with a pad.

There are entire pages where me, buddha, and Dantis go at discussing the series. When we get into it, no detail is spared.

Probably helps that I'm a robot, Dantis is insane, and buddha is a ghost tho.

You need to make more non-Persona related posts and also never sleep.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I suppose this means I've established dominance.

You are not a robot, Dantis is not craycray and buddha is a living person.

I'm trying sempai.

 

[SloaneRisette]

I need to play this game actually.

You have significantly more posts than I do.

Indeed, that seems to be the secret.

i'm gonna start rewatching mighty max. i don't really remember much about it except like one episode with brain-eating slugs and one that involved Kali, and the final episode which was all kinds of messed up. i mean obvs it won't hold up to my childhood memories, because it is a cartoon based on merchandise, but you know, whatever.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Hold up there, I was actually being serious with that one. Dantis is nuts. In a good way mind you.

For what it's worth. I try to stay on topic as much as possible. However I'm an obsessive-compulsive know it all and other people go off topic often... D:

This is kind of lame. I beat P3P last week on my Vita. I recently found out P3 FES is on PSN right after I finished P3P. I check out the price on my PS3 and the game is $5... That's 3x how much I paid for P3P. Downloading it now. Maybe I'll get around to playing it in a couple of years if I allow myself to forget some of the finer details of the game over time.

that's not very nice. sure he's got some funny ideas about japanimes, but the kid's gonna be alright.

you could just try loading up The Answer and playing that.

Well, the PSN version does have a number of issues, so you may have dodged a bullet there.

 

[buddha0991]

Oh yea, I also had a better time with The Answer than The Journey. Not kidding there. My opinion is more correct and truthful than all of yours is the name of the game some play here anyways

 

[Risette]

Did Dantis ever watch Little Witch Academia

What kind of issues?

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Little Witch Academia

What is this?

 

[Omikaru]

What kind of issues?

Save issues seems to be the major one. It wasn't a killer if you're aware of it (and save in multiple slots), but a number of players got burned when 20-30 hours got lost...

 

[Sophia]

What kind of issues?

Emulation glitches, color issues on some monitors, and the game sometimes deciding to corrupt your saves at the most inconvenient times.

 

[Risette]

What is this?

a good thing which is an animé

Does PS+ back up the save if it gets lost/corrupted?

 

[Risette]

No

It's an issue with the virtual memory card stuff afaik, it happens on BC PS3s and retail copies too.

Speaking of non-Persona related posts, I just watched the trailer for The Great Gatsby (I have like fifteen pages left to read of the book) and it seems... off? Everything seems so bright and grand, but I felt like in the book it's just Gatsby who has this extravagance.

I kind of feel compelled to see the film now though. DiCaprio seems like perfect casting for Gatsby at least, though I'm not sure how I feel about everyone else.

they're likening the jazz age to modern hip hop culture, which is why gatsby's parties look like a hip hop music video. whether or not they were successful is up for debate (i haven't seen it yet). a lot of folks have pointed out that all the flash in the movie is sort of missing the point of the book so.

You're far from the only one to feel this way. The movie was awful for other reasons though.

does it really portray daisy and gatsby's relationship as an epic love story
because the director said people would see it as an epic love story
and that
uh
well.

that's like...the opposite...of what Great...Gatsby...is...supposed....oh Hollywood.

My mom/sister said it was great.

I generally don't trust their opinions on most media.

Yeah, but fortunately it wasn't Twilight levels of "epic love story".

Did they read the book.....?

like i was thinking that maybe it was intentional misdirection on his part, but like, who would he be misdirecting? children under the age of sixteen who haven't read the book yet? could he have really missed the point that badly? (but then i remembered romeo and juliet is generally viewed by folks as ~epic romance of true love~ and not "holy shit teenagers are dumb as hell")
