make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I always think the protags in these SMT games are women, but then I look closer and I'm like... "Oh."

I can see someone mistaking the SMTV protagonist as a female at a glance since he has a strong bishounen appearance, but the others, nah. Especially the SMT: Strange Journey protagonist, he's peak alpha material.

In fairness I haven't played them all. I remember years ago I thought Nocturne protag was like an Audrey Tautou with tattoos but then I looked closer lol.

Btw... I thought maybe you just taught me some new vocab, which was surprising, but then google explained it's actually weeb language.

You're essentially saying that the actress from Amelie, good movie by the way, looks like a dude. lol

That's one of my all time favorite films. Yeah, I'll admit that was my first thought (maybe I was projecting) but upon closer look noticed he wasn't wearing a shirt lol and was disappointed. Game was still awesome though.

It's all good. I just found the notion of someone seeing the demi-fiend and immediately thinking of a French actress to be pretty humorous. lol
Lol. Resolutions on YouTube weren't as good back then.

The carryover bonuses for switch are a little underwhelming, wish you could just carry over your whole compendium. But I’ll probably buy it again on switch regardless. Absolutely loved this game and all the new additions make it seem worth sinking in to again. I’ll deal with the inferior graphics cuz I’m not about to buy a more powerful system for one game, was totally fine to me the first time!
 
Q2 2024 has been painfully dry. I hope this game makes up for it. I really hope the story will deliver something heavy this time.

Some of the bigger games this year were released towards the end of Q1 (Dragon's Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin and Princess Peach Showtime comes to mind), so I can understand why Q2 might feel a bit barren.

Tbh, this period of the year has been like that for quite a while since most big hitters tend to release in Q1 and Q4 (with some exceptions of course).

Does anyone know if our save files for the original Switch game will carry over? Just trying to prepare myself mentally from starting over from scratch if not.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
When if first finished SMTV (Switch) I immediately started 2nd playthrough….SMT’s gameplay loop is crazy addictive to me…..I can spend unhealthy hours just fusing demons to make my perfect party.
Battle, fuse, explore, repeat. And suddenly, 8 hours went by.

Nothing about hour long cinematics getting in the way of gameplay nor anything slowing down the pacing, it's so good. Plus I think they nailed the exploration and movement in V. III and IV could be kinda slow to traverse, but not only they fixed that for V but they also made the traversal soooo good. Naruto-running through a wasted Tokyo never got old for me.

Jsisto Jsisto while I still think IV's music is better, I have to agree that V's is amazing too.









All this shit is available on Spotify btw, I sometimes listen to it while working since it makes for some cool background music. :messenger_sunglasses:

I hate Atlus so much, they always do this and the extended version of the SMT games are fucking bangers. I regret playing this on Switch
Yeah I think I won't get Metaphor on release because of this, might just wait for the definitive edition.

Does going law or chaos significantly change the game? Do people typically play these games multiple times?
Depends on the game. In SMT V it didn't change much aside from the ending, as far as I remember.

And yeah, since the game is 95% gameplay, it's quite replayable.
