I wish mailbag was still going. Remember when AngryCanadian sent them a horse dildo? Those were the days.

I feel like P4 was a jrpg for people who don't tend to play those games and I'm that demographic so I ended up loving it.

I guess I lucked out with the Secret Santa gifts he sent me....

Earthbound.
Uggggggghhhhhhhh it's the worst fucking thing to do to Doom. He should be a goddamn badass.
Persona combat is fine, easy, but fine.
The biggest complaint is their usual idea for Dungeons not being very fun, but Tartarus seems better than the drawn out absurdity that is everyone's personal dungeon in P4.
Play Chrono Trigger, it's the JRPG that people who hate JRPGs like.

Maybe I got other shit I need to play. Like I still need to finish witcher 2 and I got burnt out after my save got deleted.
And I have been feeling to play human revoultion again.

CT isn't as dialogue heavy and a hell of a lot more fun.

I've seen the intro to that game like 5 times now and I don't even want to play it anymore.
Maybe if the world is ending.
Chrono Trigger is an all time classic, I would recommend it for everyone. Heck I'm replaying it now

I just can't get into Witcher 2. I tried twice, and I just started playing other games instead both times. What's special about this series that I'm missing?

Yeah its new to me. I've lived here my whole life and never had earthquakes until last year. People are blaming fracking for the earthquakes.
Good thing they are really small ones tho.

You wish. Drakengard 1 - PS2
Nier and Drakengard 3 - PS3
IF remote play finally worked on ps3, it would be.
Nope. PS2 and 3

It's mostly the dialog and story. Like I said I've seen the intro like 5 times now and everytime I love the dialog. I just really don't like the gameplay.
I'm still wondering how people can say SMT IV combat system is anything above passable. There is no defense stat. Someone looked at the game and said that they needed to remove a stat that has been in every other RPG ever.
There is a reason why it was there!
Every single fight turns into the same thing. Normal fights you just kill everyone an boss fights you debuff them twice and hit their weakness until dead.

That's what he said. Maybe he was lying. What a fraud.

SMT4 has amazing combat. Who cares about the defense stat. You know what defend is? Kill the demon before it kills you and use buffs.
JRPG turn based combat 99% of the time is boring from how repetitive it gets. Make the battles go faster and/or make them extremely high tension to allieviate this, which SMT4 does in spades.

Have you not played any other MegaTen game besides that one? Besides the lack of a defense stat, everything else about its gameplay is why I give a shit about it compared to other JRPGs. Nocturne and both DDS games kick ass because of the Press Turn system.
Yeah I personally liked it more than Mass Effect, and I like Mass Effect.

Maybe it is because I'm biased

I just remebered I bought mass effect 1 like a year ago and never played it.
Why do you need a defense stat? Really it only pads out fights.
What are the odds!
You know, it's almost like every landmass on the planet is on top of these plates that move and cause the shakes from time to time.
But I'm just thinking crazy things.

HYPE.
I've got some seriously high hopes for this show. If The Flash can be super awesome on TV then Daredevil is perfect for it.
I have never experienced an earthquake in my life. Ireland is alright
No, it's just faster with doing the same thing that every other JRPG does. At the Start of the game anything destroys you and by the end of the game you are walking though everything.
There is no real curve in SMT IV. The game gets either easy or hard, no moderate challenge.
I legit, think the gameplay in Persona Q is probably more balanced even if it I easier. Same with the EO series.
You rarely have to change your strategy depending on the boss. Making most of the bosses feel samey.

In terms of strictly turn-based JRPGs (meaning no ATB, no hybrids like Valkyrie Profile, no active time component like those Mario & Luigi games), Bravely Default has an amazing combat system. Maybe FF10 as well, but I never devoted as much time in to that game as I intended to.
No, now the lurkers can get them!

SMT games don't have much depth to their actual combat. Most battles its kill before being killed, but it fits in the tone of the games so well, that I honestly wouldn't have it any other way.
And its a thing all SMT games does, but I feel its almost intentionally made that way. You start off with shitty demons with everything wiping you off the face of the map, when you start fusing these kick ass demons and start running train on EVERYTHING, it makes you feel like a God. Its gameplay and narrative fit so well with each other that I can't fault it for not being the deepest combat system on the planet, but passable? Smh. Just because everything isn't etrian odyssey, doesn't make it passable. Would that make something like Final Fantasy 4/6/7/9/10/12/etc just the most complete garbage thing you've ever seen? Becuase those games have average combat in comparison to SMT 4. Or is a defend option really the difference between being good and bad, which is an extremely one sighted opinion to have about the genre that wasn't designed to be like that.
SMT isn't all about strategy, that's not how the games are designed. And even then, there is still some strategy to the boss fights. You can't compare this game to EO because they're nothing alike except for the first person combat style.
