Fun is a very very very subjective arbitrator.

eager hamlet
#

Plus

#

Has it even really worked?

#

Far as I can tell, no one plays Byleth

tame veldt
#

i play byleth

#

cause they're fun to me!!

#

i mean, plus fishnets so maybe i can't really talk

bleak coral
eager hamlet
#

In general

#

Of all the fighter pass characters

#

It feels like the anime swordsmen usually fell off really hard past release

tame veldt
#

hoes mad

#

all i have to say

rancid token
#

I'n not thrilled by Yet Another Sword inclusion, but they do look at least interesting

raven dome
rancid token
#

Plus Xenoblade people have been wanting this one for a while so I'm glad for them

raven dome
dire condor
#

Guns in Smash has never not been weird.

raven dome
tame veldt
#

a xc2 character was guaranteed in my eyes. in one of the first smash directs sakurai said "sorry we couldn't fit rex into the game maybe next time"

eager hamlet
#

I mean including swordfighters is fine

rancid token
#

It's more that most of the sword people, at least for a while, had very similar movesets

eager hamlet
#

Its that theyre all anime swordfighters

#

And its pretty much only swordsmen were getting

#

Why Sephiroth over, say

#

Kefka?

raven dome
#

Honestly I’m just happy for more Nintendo characters, I was actually sick of so many crossover characters.

eager hamlet
#

Spell Slingers are underrepresented

#

And yeah, they just play way too similarly

tame veldt
rancid token
#

Sephiroth is more popular by far

raven dome
dire condor
#

You know why we're getting Sephiroth instead of Kefka.

eager hamlet
#

Well

pallid horizon
#

Sephirotg is funny

dire condor
#

But I am definitely behind the sentiment.

eager hamlet
#

I mean, I dont know if thats true

#

As far as I know, when FF players are asked to rank characters

#

Kefka has always beaten Sephiroth

#

But thats within the fan community

rancid token
#

My issue with Byleth has nothing to do with their mechanics, it's that the character is just such flat nothing

pallid horizon
#

Tbh I don’t know FF

dire condor
#

6 is way more popular in Japan than it is in America, but I think Sephiroth is still globally more popular.

rancid token
#

Also the final smash is a static jpeg

pallid horizon
#

I just think sephirotgs iconic enough

tame veldt
rancid token
#

That's who I was referring to

eager hamlet
#

Might be, actually

rancid token
#

But also Sephiroth is too

raven dome
tame veldt
#

sephi also moves

raven dome
#

(Yes I eyerolled my own comment)

eager hamlet
#

But yeah, the problem is they play too similarly

#

And as a result, they dont have sticking power

tame veldt
raven dome
#

Honestly they faked me out big time by not including the smash logo intro thing at the start of the trailer.

eager hamlet
#

Because why play anime swordfighter #147 if you've played and gotten used to anime swordfighter #83 for so long?

rancid token
#

To be fair

#

The ones they started adding in 4 onward have been appreciated departures

tame veldt
#

are you referring to the dlc or chrom, roy, marth, lucina?

rancid token
#

Except for Chrom

raven dome
tame veldt
#

if they're so similar why can't you play them interchangeably

eager hamlet
#

Slight differences in values and muscle memory

tame veldt
#

so they're different

eager hamlet
#

Its the same reason people sticked with one goku instead of the other Goku

#

Barely

raven dome
eager hamlet
#

Its like Lambda 13 and Nu 11 in BlazBlue

rancid token
#

Most of them aren't different enough is a valid point

eager hamlet
#

Currently?

raven dome
#

Yes

eager hamlet
#

The silverback gorilla

dire condor
#

I think UI.

raven dome
#

Ah okay

eager hamlet
#

Yep

#

UI Goku isnt just the best Goku

dire condor
#

Still think the rat shouldn't get to continue comboing after a Spirit Bomb, but that's probably not going anywhere.

eager hamlet
#

He is the best character

#

By a pretty good margin

#

He is busted

#

Ironically he doesnt play like the previous Gokus

raven dome
#

It’s weird because I’ve come to like Super Saiyan Blue after learning the in universe lore behind it but UI still feels meh even after learning what it is

dire condor
#

There's very little about Super's lore I really like.

#

But holy cow, watching Bluku go at it in DBFZ?

raven dome
dire condor
#

I could watch elbow loops all day.

eager hamlet
#

DB lore past original DB is just kinda

#

Dumb

dire condor
#

Oh, no, same, Lapisonic.

raven dome
#

Well yeah

eager hamlet
#

Anyway

#

UI as a form concept is actually prettycool

#

The problem is it ended up being "just bigger numbers"

raven dome
#

I don’t care what anyone says, Buu is the strongest villain

dire condor
#

Yeah, it's just the next "Super Saiyan".

raven dome
eager hamlet
#

Eh that I dont mind

#

But yeah, its the fact that the original concept is just

#

"You can now react without having to think, significantly improving your response time, and making it as if you can predict what the enemy does"

#

But the end result is "yeah he just gets really really strong"

raven dome
#

THATS why I think it’s meh

dire condor
#

UI: Sign did that better.

raven dome
#

The end result

#

And the no ss thing too

#

On the other hand, I think SS4 is stupid

eager hamlet
#

In FighterZ

#

The issue is that UI Goku is too good at everything

#

He has tools for every occasion and his square button is ridiculous

raven dome
eager hamlet
#

Hahahaha

#

No

dire condor
#

No, Hit doesn't really have anything like that.

eager hamlet
#

I mean he has a counter as well, but its nowhere near frame perfect

#

But its also not that important to the character

raven dome
eager hamlet
#

Hit has a counter

dire condor
#

He's got his unique parries on Special, but UI has a billion additional options as well as unique properties elsewhere that make him OP.

eager hamlet
#

Not frame perfect though

#

And he has a stance where he cant be hit

#

Hits main thing to make up for that is his normals moving him along the screen

bleak coral
#

Zagreus taking a smash bros slot would've been unreal

eager hamlet
#

As well as his stances

#

Anyway, UI Goku primarily has a frame 4 invincible DP

#

An unpunishable 2H

bleak coral
#

Not gonna happen but itd be so good

eager hamlet
#

A special wakeup DP

#

And the most busted autocombo in the game

raven dome
tame veldt
raven dome
#

I don’t actually play DBFZ, but I enjoy watching it

dire condor
#

They let the Necrodancer people take Zelda for a spin.

raven dome
#

If it’s anything like Skullgirls, I’d be wrecked by literally everyone.

bleak coral
#

@tame veldt to be fair, hades has done very very well though

#

and they see it

eager hamlet
#

Just pick UI and press the square button

raven dome
#

@bleak coral I feel like only Steve gets a pass as an indie game because it’s the highest selling game of all time

bleak coral
#

I guess?

#

But its Microsoft so

raven dome
#

That’s literally how Sakurai put it

#

Sakurai pretty much said “Nintendo made me”

#

Something like
Nintendo: “Surely you can put in a character from Minecraft, the highest selling game of all time, right?”

rancid token
#

Tbh I don't consider Steve an indie character at the current point in time

tame veldt
#

^

raven dome
#

I just enjoy more Nintendo characters again

wraith cradle
#

Great, now we have Steve in Minecraft we need Franklin too as the GTAV Representative 🙃

raven dome
#

Also I’m like one of the ten people that unironically wants ||Euden|| in the game.

#

So what I want isn’t important.

#

I’d take a Mii Costume tbh

eager hamlet
#

Also no Ace Attorney announcements

#

Makes me very sad

raven dome
#

Speaking of AA, remember my sporadic playing schedule? I still need to play investigations and everything past Apollo

#

(Also Ghost Trick, unfortunately my computer can’t seem to ||emulate|| it well)

toxic cosmos
#

Ooo! New Cross Code DLC!

#

Gonna come out on the 28th!

eager hamlet
#

26th, actually

#

Very excited

#

Slightly worried that its just before an exam though

wraith cradle
#

Welp now Shattered has finally come out I can start a clean save

#

Let's see how good of a souls-like it is

toxic cosmos
#

Oh yea, thanks! I misread that!

#

Debating whether I want to start a fresh save for it

wraith cradle
toxic cosmos
#

I understand, I was talking to UNO, mb

eager hamlet
#

Im just gonna continue the one Ive got

#

I know others that are gonna start fresh

toxic cosmos
#

It is a pretty long game

#

I might stick with my current progress

#

Tho I have pretty much done everything and got everything

#

I hope it won't feel broken

woven breach
#

just watched TL;DR of nintendo direct

#

Neon white looks promising

#

not really keen on everything else

#

but skyward sword is coming, I didn't have a Wii so I'm looking forward to that

winged verge
#

skyward is probably my fav zelda game outside of BOTW
but it also falls into the trope of "whatever zelda game you played when you were 12 is your favorite" so that that with a grain of salt

#

its biggest criticism is that it's very linear, and loops back on already visited locations a lot

woven breach
#

linearity is my fav dusa

#

brain dead

tame veldt
winged verge
#

i was disappointed when like
1/4th of the map was hidden for the longest time and then I didnt get to do much in it once I got access

woven breach
tame veldt
#

i was thinking that but i didn't know the exact quote

#

good meme 1/1

woven breach
#

I hope it's gonna be like No more heroes case for me

#

it's pretty rough adjustment at start but it builds up to something great

#

not no more heroes 2 tho

#

that one can go drink a hot caramel

raven dome
#

I still need to play No More Heroes 2

#

Also Skyward Sword is genuinely one of my favorite Zelda games, and I don’t fall into the category above.

#

Most people didn’t like the motion control centered puzzles but I loved them, kept me on my toes. I never thought killing Skulltulas would be difficult but it was.

#

||I haven’t played BOTW yet because it’s such a huge commitment||

#

||Someday I will, though||

#

(Also, in case you’re wondering, it’s not original, but it’s true, MM is my favorite Zelda)

I just finished it last December, took me a whole year to come back and finish it

Oath in Felghana is pretty good

my to do list currently is Deus Ex, Hades, Celeste
I'm moving Dark souls 1 to the side, and just playing around with cp77 mods

#

my cp77 2nd save (which was nearing 40 hours) is gone due to a bug that doesn't show any main mission for me, I had to kinda New Game+ that with mods

graceful galleon
eager hamlet
#

I prefer "Dark Beasts as Black as Night", the first theme you hear

#

But Valestein castle is also pretty good

graceful galleon
#

Oo the boss theme, i think?

vital glacier
#

play uhhhhhhhh

#

nier automata

woven breach
#

I vouch for nier

#

I just beat Code Vein yest

#

now cause my friend bought me the game I have to grind with him

#

there's this item called Mark Of Honor which drops on multiplayer, to get one of the achievement you need 400 of them

#

and the most you get from a dungeon is... 5

graceful galleon
#

Ouch

woven breach
#

ikr

#

it's not the fastest, there are some faster but harder way

#

this is the one he picked

graceful galleon
#

Its just for achievement?

Good luck with your Achievement-hunting endeavors

Whoa I completely forgot Bravely default 2 is gonna be released at the end of this month

woven breach
#

oh crap I just remembered that game

#

the demo kicked my ass hard

graceful galleon
#

Omw downloading the demo

eager hamlet
#

The one I mean is the one you get when you fight those wolves at the start

#

No wait

#

It might actually be the regular boss theme as well

#

And the strongest foe is the other boss theme you get later

lor let me in give me the evelynn cards

floral warren

AU cards when?

or just skin cards

eager hamlet
#

We might get Evelynn with the next regions expansion

#

Also, I love this trailer

#

I wonder if they use stop motion for the mid-section

stable kindle
floral warren
#

inb4 they put azir or sivir

stable kindle
#

azir's in this set?

#

he's literally on the trailer thumbnail

floral warren

Nasus was building damage only, he got rekkt by renekton ron

floral warren
stable kindle

😭

#

it's not on that image in the tweet but there's a 7 mana card they revealed too with azir on it

#

god i can't wait for all the delicious art in this set

floral warren

they're taking this stuff seriously and I like it

#

stable kindle

that's why i like lor LOL while i never dipped into hearthstone (blessing in disguise apparently) ive always liked mtg and some other digital card games ive dabbled in like shadowverse. i just don't like competitive too much bc i frankly don't have the energy to keep up with meta, so i hope they do more stuff like lab of legends, as much grief as it's given me lmao

floral warren
#

the head

eager hamlet
#

We already have leaks telling us what champs are coming btw

#

The ones the trailer already told us are Azir, Nasus and Renekton

#

We also know of Zilean because of the second expansions name, and Taliyah because of the art used for the bonus expansion

stable kindle
#

yeah i heard taliyah

eager hamlet
#

Its a shame she is probably the last one to be released

#

I really like Taliyahs design

#

But the champ isnt fun to play

polar dragon

Hearthstone lore is basically Warcraft lore. I understand why they don't have anything new lorewise for Hearthstone.

floral warren
stable kindle
#

indeed but that first point is funny as hell, just thinking about konami being like, dang making games is harder than we thought when we keep booting everyone making our games good loool

floral warren
#

they just yeet out the great games to other clueless devs who don't know stuff about the series

#

sigh guess I'll never live to the day I see Solid Snake and Shadow Moses looking clean as Venom Snake from MGS V

#

and I can guarantee there will not be MSX Metal gear 1 and metal gear 2 remakes

#

if that happened, Gerry can post this message to r/agedlikemilk the moment they announce it

tame veldt
#

heheheheheeh

#

don't try me

floral warren
#

nope, can't some anything from konami

#

they legit created best 4 IPs of all time and what they do with it? kick the devs that made it happen

#

Silent hill, contra, castlevania, Metal Gear
these stuff wasn't going to exist and change the world of gaming if they weren't in there

#

Metal Gear proved that you can infact tell an anti-war story without the war part

#

im just venting dont mind me

stable kindle
#

well at least bloodstained is the spiritual successor to castlevania and is good

tame veldt
#

why is my backlog so BIG

steady otter
#

Time.. there’s never enough

tame veldt
#

another game to the list

floral warren
#

maybe cuz the dude who made castlevania is with them

#

well, hopefully kojima can get his stuff together and make "not" metal gear or something, I wasn't impressed when I saw Death Stranding

#

I love his excuse tho, " "different artistic sensibility" than Americans"

stable kindle
#

oh yeah igarashi produced bloodstained, he was the lead producer of the castlevania series from 99 onward til his departure from konami

floral warren
#

I'm waiting for more stealth games, and cyberpunk's stealth system is so stupid

until then , Deus Ex will make me enjoy stealth till it lasts

considering i have such a disposition towards anything AAA def contributes to my distaste of AAA and from what ive seen i just didnt like fenyx @stable kindle

#

like man, greek botw

#

with not so funny comedy over it

#

and why would i waste 60$ on fenyx when i can spend 25 on hades

#

when hades is an arguably better experience

vivid mesa
#

the comedy part is what scares me away from Fenyx

#

which is a shame

dire saffron
#

yeaa

#

and i just find it dumb that indie games with a very small budget and only a handful of people can out preform AAA companies

#

like indie is just better

#

more passion

vivid mesa
#

big companies
more moving parts = more problems

dire saffron
#

very few AAA games would i play over indie

vivid mesa
#

Suda51 experienced that. His work with EA was so muddled that it was unrecognizeable from the original cocept

#

*concept, bloody cold hands -_-

dire saffron
#

i mean but sometimes im like "why are there so many parts"

#

like take pokemon for example

#

literally the models are simple as hell and ported, the entire combat system and dex is ported, and theres almost nothing content wise

#

like wtf happens to the budget

tame veldt
#

you realize gamefreak makes other games

dire saffron
#

yea, like little town hero

#

which didnt do good

#

but still, they have no excuse for bad pokemon titles

#

literally half of the game is ported

#

and the fact that they took steps backwards sucks

tame veldt
#

mmmmm thanthink

stable kindle
#

the comedy part is what made me like the game lmao

tame veldt
#

i don't think so

stable kindle
#

a lot of the charm is in the characterization

dire saffron
#

like in lets go they had shinies show up in the overworld but in s&s you have ot go into the fight

#

thats just a step back

#

its a system they already had but they couldnt be bothered to but it in

stable kindle

i think you guys are being a little cynical with the 'its just greek botw with bad comedy' but aight.

tbh skillup's vid said it best in that the writing is going to make or break the game for people. for me, it was one of the things i enjoyed the most about it, and i got super endeared to the gods, which caught me off guard. exploring their insecurities and how it affects them? bro i eat that up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFCaJj9oAyY

re: Thanatos
I think I just have preconceived ideas of what a death god should be like, and Supergiant Thanatos is far off from my idea of that

dire saffron
#

i mean he is a god of peacful death

#

his sisters are the gods of violent death

zenith mantle

Also he's kinda cliche as a character, I feel - there's really not much that stands out in his interactions with Zag other than the fact he's all tsk tsk Zag don't get the wrong idea about me I don't like you in That Way

I love the mythological figure though

eh yea he is just a tsundere but i love him and no one can change that :3

no ones trying to change your mind lol

he.......

#

love how hes got a helmet

twin yarrow
#

has wings, like myths say

zenith mantle
#

must be on an assignment to clean up whatever mess ares made

stable kindle
#

hes got thighs that could crack watermelons

zenith mantle
#

the torch!!!!!!

#

i dont see enough depictions of him with the upside down torch

stable kindle
#

theres butterflies too

#

and poppies

zenith mantle
dire saffron
stable kindle
#

not necessarily, depends on the media

zenith mantle
#

Hermes tends to be depicted as a skinny little twink

#

see: GOW Hermes (a twink in comparison to the rest of the cast)

twin yarrow
#

but logically, he is the one who supposed to have such thighs

dire saffron
zenith mantle
#

oop i tried to send a pic of GOW Than and it failed to send

#

Anyway it amuses me how much he looks like Supergiant Than

#

hes got the same withering stare and protruding cheekbones

dire saffron
zenith mantle
#

When can we get a Thanatos who is smol and cute

#

I mean

zenith mantle
#

Sleepy soft boy is literally his twin

dire saffron
#

so like

#

whats left

eager hamlet
#

Ah yes, Kai'sa

#

The design that makes no sense and is a waste of a really cool concept

tame veldt
eager hamlet
#

Eh, not really

#

Like thats not a controversial statement

#

Thats generally what people agree on

zenith mantle
#

SMT Thanatos has a real dope design and I adore it

eager hamlet
#

Kai'sa is supposed to be this battle-hardened survivor of the void

#

And she looks like a supermodel in a latex suit

tame veldt
#

i like mara's design 😏

eager hamlet
#

And hell, in the end Riot agreed that they messed up with Kaisa

tame veldt
#

Hey, it's smt time

#

shh

#

no league

eager hamlet
#

Thats Persona Thanatos

#

Not SMT Thanatos

#

This is SMT Thanatos

tame veldt
#

look at the top

#

smt

#

same thing

stable kindle
tame veldt
#

they're all smt demons just different designs

dire saffron
#

hehe lol p3

eager hamlet
#

Yesn't

#

SMT and Persona 3 onwards

#

Are seriously different in just about every regard

tame veldt
eager hamlet
#

Including demon design

eager hamlet
#

Its the best one

tame veldt
#

bruhhhhhh

#

have you played it????

eager hamlet
#

I was just really disappointed by it

#

We should've gotten badass scarred lady

#

Instead we got supermodel whose makeup is somehow flawless despite surviving in the void

#

And yes, I have played Persona 3

#

Twice, as a matter of fact

stable kindle
#

shes not my top fav but honestly im saying that deliberately to be contrary because this channel makes me wish i had the energy to be as negative as it is sometimes lmao

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tame veldt
#

storywise, maybe probably, gameplay wise it is absolute garbage

eager hamlet
#

Gameplay is just one facet

eager hamlet
#

Besides, play the portable version

#

That fixes most of the gameplay issues

tame veldt
#

haven't played p3p

stable kindle
#

im just like hehe funni vidya games

eager hamlet
#

Since it lets you control your characters

tame veldt
eager hamlet
#

I also hate how only Kai'sas first skin actually plays at all into her theme

tame veldt
#

lemme find a portable emulatot

eager hamlet
#

You didnt know?

#

Yeah you control the full party in portable

#

Like, every Kai'sa skin beyond the first forgets the whole adaptive suit and helmet thing

tame veldt
#

you know any psp emulators

eager hamlet
#

Its incredibly disappointing, especially since she is fun to play

#

PPSSPP

#

Works for both android and PC

tame veldt
#

i'll ping you when i finish

#

see if it's good

#

cause i like p3's story but the gameplay is unbearable

eager hamlet
#

Then again, they also ruined Kai'sas gameplay now

#

From having a bunch of different, unique and interesting builds

#

To being part of the crit hivemind

tame veldt
#

alright i'ma stick to my motto

humble dust
#

only enjoyable thing league has ever produced is gorsky's dumb montages

#

and the draven subreddit

#

which is entirely posts of arabic memes and jax's e

fast kiln
tame veldt
#

cause i'm right

fast kiln
#

hi 👍

tame veldt
#

they said play p3p

#

i'ma do that then i'll say my peace

fast kiln
#

i mean

tame veldt
#

but base p3 is garbo

dire basin
#

p3 tartarus bad

zenith mantle
#

y'all raging about League

dire basin
#

go play P1 or smth

zenith mantle
#

I'm here raging about Brawl Stars

dire basin
#

thats a good tartarus

fast kiln
#

the pacing pretty bad in p3

zenith mantle
#

Forever in pain at their complete lack of characterization

eager hamlet
#

You can make a case for P4 being better than P3

#

But P5 is definitely the weakest one

fast kiln
#

idk about that

tame veldt
#

p5r on the other hand

eager hamlet
#

Its story takes an absolute nosedive in the last arc

dire basin
#

p5r is only good cuz of the additional content tbh

#

everything else still pretty bad

eager hamlet
#

Which given that story has always been the main draw of Persona games

#

Is kind of bad

fast kiln
#

i thought p5 was alright

eager hamlet
#

Plus while it has the most well-rounded cast of characters, neither main nor side characters excel

#

Except for Ryuji

#

Ryuji is the best boy

fast kiln
#

sojiro?

#

he was pretty good

dire basin
#

well p5 isnt super bad but the story is kinda meh imo

eager hamlet
#

Yeah ok Sojiro is also fair

eager hamlet
#

He is great

#

But like

#

The story just completely falls apart

#

Because they needed to have a random god out of nowhere

fast kiln
#

i dont like the "adult bad" thing

eager hamlet
#

Because hey, thats the Persona style

#

But they didnt really have anything good to tie in with it

#

Or any reason for there to be a god

dire basin
#

i mean its persona of course theres a god final boss

eager hamlet
#

So you just had a messy final arc

#

That flounders about before trying to somehow concluding

#

And even the final showdown, despite obviously trying to emulate that iconic last scene from Persona 4, falls kinda flat

#

Its just ... empty

dire basin
#

i dont think the final arc is that bad

fast kiln
#

its ok

dire basin
#

sure its sort of lackluster

fast kiln
#

the dungeon was cool

eager hamlet
#

Its plausible that they cut content

#

That made it tie together

dire basin
#

but it doesnt come out of nowhere imo

fast kiln
#

the boss fight was ok i guess

eager hamlet
#

But we only know the version without the cut content

#

So

#

What we get is just a weird mess

#

Ironically its the opposite of my problem with Ys IX

tame veldt
#

and yet guess where your pfp comes from. thanthink

dire basin
#

lmao

#

i mean tbh if you talk about content being cut, p5r fixes that issue no?

tame veldt
fast kiln
#

the amount of dlc is ridiculous

dire basin
#

atlus is bad at handling dlc in general tbh

fast kiln
#

yeah

tame veldt
#

but p5r just gives it to you

#

except for the new dlc

eager hamlet
#

I mean

#

Its a cool icon

fast kiln
#

my biggest problem with the game was how easy it was

eager hamlet
#

And I was playing Persona 5 at the time I got it

#

Without having finished it

#

Idk if P5R fixes it

dire basin
fast kiln
#

i think p4 is the best modern persona game

eager hamlet
#

Ive not played it

dire basin
#

which is why i prefer SMT

eager hamlet
#

Then again

#

From my understanding it doesnt?

fast kiln
eager hamlet
#

It adds another arc beyond that, but it doesnt really fix anything

tame veldt
dire basin
eager hamlet
#

I mean

dire basin
#

the QOL changes are noice

fast kiln
#

i want to try Devil survivor

eager hamlet
#

Turn-based games arent very fun if theyre hard, soooo

dire basin
#

combat is easy but the DLC bosses fix that for me

eager hamlet
#

Then again, turn-based JRPGs arent very fun in general

dire basin
fast kiln
#

im pretty excited for smt v

#

the trailer was cool

dire basin
#

i dont have a switch so i cant get it when it releases 😔

eager hamlet
#

Same

fast kiln
#

damn

eager hamlet
#

Still waiting for AA7

#

So I can pick up a switch

dire basin
#

I'll just watch a playthrough or smth

#

then get it when i can

eager hamlet
#

Just get on it already Capcom

dire basin
#

epic

fast kiln
#

i want to try xenoblade chronicles 1 and 2 before smt v releases

#

i was planning to for a while and the direct kinda motivated me

tame veldt
#

sadge no smt news

fast kiln
#

i wasnt that surprised

tame veldt
#

i want that japanese guy's smooth voice again

tame veldt
#

i just want it

dire basin
#

tbh smt v is probs getting delayed

tame veldt
#

y'know

fast kiln
#

yeah

#

i want it to man

tame veldt
#

why would it do thattttt

fast kiln
#

atlus moment

dire basin
#

and nocturne remastered has a lot of issues from what ive seen 😔

graceful galleon
#

p5 got delayed how many times?

fast kiln
#

like 4 or something

dire basin
#

hope it gets fixed before translated ver comes out

tame veldt
dire basin
#

yea i saw it

tame veldt
#

looks like the update fixes ALOT

dire basin
#

but my friends who have it said not all issues have been fixed

graceful galleon
#

I really dont mind delays if the end product turns out great though

dire basin
#

^

fast kiln
#

i hope it doesnt turn out like apocalypse

dire basin
#

i mean tbh i feel like its better if they make one long delay then make tons of short delays

tame veldt
dire basin
#

i heard 4A is pretty boring

#

still gonna play it tho

fast kiln
#

its just a pretty generic story

dire basin
#

cuz i loved 4

fast kiln
#

like a super shounen story

dire basin
#

ah i see

fast kiln
#

and law, chaos, neutral are not in the game

tame veldt
dire basin
#

bruh

fast kiln
#

its more of a good ending, bad ending, sorta neutral ending

#

the ost is great

dire basin
#

theres a good ending

tame veldt
#

like p5

dire basin
#

bruh

#

i dont like it when SMT has a definite good ending tbh

fast kiln
#

neither do i

dire basin
#

cuz the point of the alignments are that none of them are good

#

there are pros and cons

fast kiln
#

but i will admit that im kinda getting bored of law chaos neutral

dire basin
#

i mean

#

devil survivor does it differently

fast kiln
#

yeah the days right?

dire basin
#

nocturne also does right?

fast kiln
#

i have not played nocturne fully yet

tame veldt
#

it makes you question your beliefs and how there is no right side and you need to weigh what is more right. side with order and god and live the way you were meant to or descend to chaos where there are no rules.

dire basin
fast kiln
#

that is interesting

#

i want to try devil survivor mostly cause its an srpg

dire basin
#

yea out of all the SMT I have played i def liked devil survivor's bosses and ending stuff the most

tame veldt
#

it's really interesting

fast kiln
#

i see heethink

tame veldt
#

it's pretty hard if you don't know what you're doing

dire basin
#

yea theres stuff like area skills and race skills you should consider in a battle too

tame veldt
#

devil speed is op

dire basin
#

so its not just like normal smt where you encounter enemies, buff/debuff and attack

tame veldt
#

and drop yuzu as fast as possible

dire basin
#

yuzu is a good healer and magic dealer imo

tame veldt
#

her health is so low though

dire basin
#

i think what i did for that was put the race skills that allow her to attack from a distance

#

then again

#

mari best

tame veldt
#

i see how she could be good with them

dire basin
#

yea but in day 7 i do just drop her lmao

#

cuz mari is in most of the endings

#

and she is way better

#

helped me beat final boss quite a lot of times actually

tame veldt
#

atsuro is better ryuji

#

i should put a twitter trigger warning shouldn't i?

fast kiln
#

yosuke is better ryuji hi

tame veldt
#

atsuro is better yosuke

fast kiln
#

😳

dire basin
#

atsuro best bro

eager hamlet
#

Thats not hard, Yosuke sucks

dire basin
#

can any of the others hack a bootleg DS? I dont think so

eager hamlet
#

Better Ryuji however?

#

Naaaah

dire basin
#

ok but ryuji cant hack a bootleg DS

eager hamlet
#

The only one who might have a claim to that

tame veldt
#

oh no, bad opinions mcgeee

eager hamlet
#

Is Kanji

fast kiln
#

kanji is good

#

but yosuke is better

dire basin
#

ok if were going with persona

#

eikichi

eager hamlet
#

Objectively wrong

fast kiln
#

i still need to play p2

eager hamlet
#

Kanji is absolute best boy

#

Yosuke is absolute worst boy

fast kiln
#

i like the character designs and the ost

tame veldt
eager hamlet
#

Yosuke is just rude and unpleasant and nasty

fast kiln
tame veldt
#

but the hiimdaisy he is wonderful

dire basin
#

p2 has a great story and the dungeons are better than the rng dungeons of modern persona imo

eager hamlet
#

No one who makes Kanji uncomfortable can be a good person

#

Third place would be

#

Hm

#

Shinjiro I suppose

fast kiln
dire basin
#

yea tbh i hope that persona gets better dungeons

#

like p5 dungeons are a good step

#

but mementos is a thing

tame veldt
fast kiln
#

i dont really want to see sl

dire basin
#

meme and toes makes me wanna puke a bit after a while there

fast kiln
#

hashino left so maybe well get something new

tame veldt
#

in p5r it's good

#

p5 eghhhhhhhh

fast kiln
#

but thats just cause of jose

dire basin
#

yea p5r improved it

eager hamlet
#

Idk, Personas dungeons seem fine to me

dire basin
#

but still i think it couldve been better

wraith cradle
#

How good is the P5 anime?

tame veldt
tame veldt
#

non

#

no

fast kiln
dire basin
tame veldt
#

don't do it

dire basin
#

fast kiln
wraith cradle
#

Is bad?

dire basin
#

p5 anime bad

#

very badd

fast kiln
#

yeah

tame veldt
#

OHH YEAH it's bad

wraith cradle
#

How bad?

fast kiln
#

p4 anime and p3 movies are leagues better

dire basin
#

the other persona anime are good

#

p5 is 🤢

fast kiln
wraith cradle
#

Berserk bad?

tame veldt
#

p4 anime is good

#

not the golden anime

fast kiln
dire basin
dire basin
wraith cradle
#

Animation or writing?

tame veldt
#

if it says A-1 any where on it, bounce

eager hamlet
#

Yeah re:fantasy isnt coming out any time soon

dire basin
#

both tbh

#

animation bad

tame veldt
dire basin
#

writing also bad

tame veldt
#

just watch this

fast kiln
dire basin
#

no

#

even if you wanted that

dire basin
#

dont watch the anime

#

youre better off watching a playthrough

tame veldt
#

they skip frames on ann's

#

it's cringe

#

actual powerpoint presentation

#

but if you want to experience P5, watch shenpai's or johneawesome's lets play

dire basin
#

yea honestly idk how it was that bad honestly

dire basin
#

but honestly i recommend you play it yourself if you can

tame veldt
#

but a ps4/5

#

expensive as frickkkkk

dire basin
#

you can play base p5 in ps3 iirc

fast kiln
#

p5 is free on the ps collection thing for ps5

fast kiln
tame veldt
#

i played P5 on a ps3 emulator before it got dmca'd

mortal siren
#

p4 royal gud on pc?

fast kiln
#

golden?

#

yeah

tame veldt
fast kiln
#

p4 is probably the best out of the modern games

mortal siren
#

idk man never played any persona

fast kiln
#

p4g adds some dumb stuff but its still worth playing if your new

tame veldt
#

get it on sale tho

fast kiln
#

its like 20 bucks tho right?

tame veldt
#

20 is too expensive for a vita game imo

#

15 maybe

#

10 yes

mortal siren
#

does it need big rig or potato is fine?

fast kiln
tame veldt
#

it ran on the vita

#

and before that ps2

eager hamlet
#

3 or 4 are both great choices

#

And it should run fine on a potato PC

tame veldt
#

i'd emulate the ps2 version

fast kiln
#

yeah dont worry about your specs for p4g

#

you will probably be fine

eager hamlet
#

Also eh, its worth 20 bucks for sure

mortal siren
#

imma try to cough criminally cough acquire the game first to see if it run fine on my system

dire basin
#

i mean its a vita game

dire basin
#

and you can check spec requirements on the steam page lmao

#

also benchmarking websites

#

i'm planning on buying P4G too tbh

#

once it goes on sale

mortal siren
#

steam spec requirements are borderline useless, some games u can mod it for low end, some just need to go dx10

dire basin
#

well i guess if you really want to be sure

fast kiln
tame veldt
#

if it's higher than windows 7, it will prolly run

dire basin
#

yea i mean

#

if you can run hades

#

pretty sure you can run a vita game

tame veldt
#

if it can run bastion even

mortal siren
#

i mean i can run yakuza 0

fast kiln
#

your fine

tame veldt
#

you're fine stfu with "my computer is like glados in portal 2"

dire basin
#

lmao

#

oh yea speaking of persona games on pc

#

any of you getting p5s?

fast kiln
#

i will later

tame veldt
#

if it goes on sale

mortal siren
#

i have portal in my back log, never played those

tame veldt
#

knowing atlus though....

dire basin
#

yea...

#

its expensive

#

so i'll wait

fast kiln
#

like i said earlier i want to play xenoblade and im not that interested in p5s anymore

tame veldt
dire basin
#

its short and fun

tame veldt
#

anybody get my reference

dire basin
#

portal 1 is around 3 hours?

tame veldt
#

no...?

dire basin
#

i did

tame veldt
#

got it

tame veldt
mortal siren
#

3h? dats like a death stranding cutscene

dire basin
#

lmao

tame veldt
fast kiln
#

i didn't know they were that short

tame veldt
#

5 minutes per puzzle and you got an hour

#

portal 2 is like 8 hours

dire basin
#

yea it depends on how skilled and how you play tbh

mortal siren
#

so basically portal games is just tech demos

dire basin
#

i tend to explore every nook and cranny of each level

dire basin
tame veldt
#

so as long you're big brain it's whatever

dire basin
#

i mean portal 2 took me around 10 hours to beat

#

and theres also multiplayer

#

i mess around a lot when playing portal tho lmao

tame veldt
#

i still play portal 2 multiplayer with my old texas friends

dire basin
#

which is why i take quite a long time

tame veldt
#

it's really good

dire basin
#

wait they have internet?

tame veldt
#

well...

fast kiln
#

my power came back today

tame veldt
#

not now...

tame veldt
fast kiln
#

so hopefully everybody else can get theirs back

tame veldt
#

i moved out of texas at the right time

mortal siren
tame veldt
#

then again i also had to drive through that massive dust storm in september

fast kiln
mortal siren
#

what i recall seeing is the electricity price goes through the roof somehow

dire basin
#

i feel so bad for my friends who live in texas tbh

#

well at least one of em seems to be having fun

fast kiln
#

some people i know lost their hot water

tame veldt
#

my friend never goes offline on discord because he leaves his comp on overnight and he went offline sooooooooooo

fast kiln
#

hopefully it gets better

tame veldt
#

and he lives in texas sooooo

#

i'll ask him once he goes online

dire basin
tame veldt
#

if you have snow go outside

dire basin
#

hopefully the snowstorm passes soon tbh im kinda worried

tame veldt
#

scoop some into a cup

#

and then pour some pepsi or lemonade

#

soo good

fast kiln
#

i lost hot water yesterday

tame veldt
#

makes me so happy

fast kiln
#

its back now

#

its to cold to go outside

#

i cant believe im saying that

dire basin
#

what is it with america and disasters happening since the start of 2021

tame veldt
#

i lived in texas for 15 years, it never went below 20 in the dallas fort worth area

#

how does it do this

fast kiln
#

a couple days ago its was like single digits

So my save which was 40 hours or so just completely got busted cuz I can’t progress in it , the game said “no” to main missions so what I had to do was to kinda new game+ it on a new save and play to the last place I was in last save
