Okay, okay.
I actually missed that and googled it after I finished the episode. Fun scene.
It's worth playing! I probably will just watch a comprehensive run of it on YouTube, but it's absolutely worth trying.
It has a very strong sense of self and personality, which I find myself appreciating in AAA games more and more as they've unfortunately become more homogenized.
I'm really excited to see what they're doing with Quantum Break. If they're taking the gameplay from Max Payne and every other element from Alan Wake, then they really do have something incredible on their hands.
Sure is.
Fatal Frame is another. :3
And yeah, I feel like there are definitely influences from Lynch's stuff, but it takes a lot more from King, like you say.

The first half is charming, but the second half's story gets phenomenally legit good.
I know all sbout it, but DP just looks like shit and not the kind I'd enjoy at all. I need competency. Personality can carry you pretty far, but you've got to deliver as a game in some respect.
See also: Nier. Game is fucking trash.
Really need this Chie when it's released.
Yep, got this bad-boy pre-ordered in March, and apparently good as in good luck finding her now. So keeping her in the summer outfit as every other figure is her normal one.
Great Junpei outfit too.

Did you even complete it?
I've heard people call Nier many things but never "fucking trash".
I thought it was a pretty bland (almost terrible) game. Nier is only saved by it's crazy narrative IMO.

Can you call this bland?:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDPbiTVX1iE
I could literally go at it for hours.
Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Vol. 1 that launches today comes with a limited edition card for use in Persona 4: The Card Battle.
Once you saw the first minutes of AW you pretty much saw it all, the game had a couple of nice moments gameplay-wise that try to shake things a little, but overall all the game play in the same manner, over an over.

I really never understood people's gripes with Nier's gameplay. The questing is repetitive, but they're almost entirely optional. It's a fun action RPG with some crazy bullet hell boss fights.
Yep.
People were talking about Bioshock Infinite after it came out, saying it would be a game greatly helped by not being just a shootbang game. Alan Wake falls into this category moreso I feel. There's some happy medium between what this is, and what the other side of the spectrum for this type of game could be(Amnesia) I think.
Just becomes wave after wave after wave. I enjoyed it enough to be one of like 3 I 100% on Xbox, but have a hard time getting through the PC one, even now.
I just didn't find the combat varied enough for my tastes.

Try playing a game with truly bad gameplay, like Magna Carta: Tears of Bloooooooooooood.
Gaf got me to play Nier due to hype.
I actually liked the gameplay, the quest system almost killed it for my OCD, but still go through it. Then I found out I had to get through it 3 more times. Yeah, that kind of killed it for me, even if I saw it's direction near the beginning of the second playthrough.

Oh god, I'm not a masochist.
Just because some things are more shitty doesn't mean that less shitty things aren't shitty.
One of these things isn't shitty however, it's just flawed, and the flawed one aint Magna Carta.

Because every franchise needs a card game, right?
Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh/Dragon Ball Z/Yu Yu Hakusho/Naruto/Bleach/Mortal Kombat/Dragon Ball Z again/Star Wars/Power Rangers/Aliens vs Predator/Austin Powers/Avatar: The Last Airbender/Kingdom Hearts/Neopets/Pez/Lord of the Rings, let's add Persona to this list now
I do play Pokemon tho
Hahaha oh my god so insane anime fan is extremely upset about the "Anime is for Jerks" episode of the podcast:
"Bullshit, dumb fucks. The lot of you(save for Keats) are clearly NOTHING but dumb fucking pieces of shit; ignorant little bitchasses incapable of doing ANYTHING but spouting utterly inane bullshit. "
Rest here.

Didn't they say there are like 400+ in IV?
I think it's someone trolling.
At least I hope so.
Mostly considering this
Especially when there is so much crap anime out there.
It's gotta be a farce.
He probably read the title, saw the gif, listened to 1-2 minutes (at most) and immediately started typing a vapid, hate filled response.
It's ironic, because you guys were barely criticizing anime and actually recommended that people watch certain anime to get into the medium. Barring Persona 4: Animation of course, which was generally liked, but admonished for its flaws, but I think you guys were entitled to that because Persona 4: Animation is our goddamn anime. It's practically our right talk shit about it!

You could at least have fun running around the fields in Nier slashing up Shades.
There is no way anyone of relative sanity could find Magna Carta's gameplay fun.
TurnipFritters pls
Yup. There's a fine difference between "flawed" and "actually shit." Nier is firmly in the flawed camp.
Methinks you'll need some moderation for those comments soon. XD

what is the persona anime like? can I watch it while playing p4g or will it ruin everything?
The anime is a more or less accurate adaptation of the game, so it will ruin every important plot point from the game. I advise that you wait until after finishing the game.
If you haven't played Persona 4 it will spoil everything.

I got bored and decided to chime in on the subject matter of that post very briefly on the page
Beat the game first then watch it.

ah cheers for the heads up. I started watching it and it seems to be exactly the same as the anime during the game. I guess I'll finish it first.
I know! No idea why all interested just faded from me.
I'll see to it eventually. I have a friend who it's pretty insane about it.

You guys want to talk about bad gameplay? I 100%'d Devil May Cry 2 three separate times
Why did you do that?

Has anyone watched the Persona 4 movie (factor of hope)? How is it? Apparently its been out for almost a year and still hasn't been subbed in English.

Well it's not like Devil May Cry 2 is an outright bad game... just mostly bad
Yep, got us the Nocturne version of Dante.
