What has not been said about Persona 5? Persona 5 Royal is coming to the US very soon. What makes Royal different from the original? Davies breaks it down in this spoiler-free review.
Atlus wins over gamers yet again.
Same here. Not only is it one of my favourite RPGs, it's also one of my favourite ever games. I keep coming back to it time and time again.
4.8? This game is literally one of the best modern JRPGs. I’d give it the perfect score.
"Newer Persona games dive into the simulation of a high school student at the cost of RPG mechanics compared to Shin Megami Tensei." - Najam from eXputer.
Persona (particularly 3,4 and 5) is the best thing to come out of Atlus, by far. The only way other games get ruined is by paling in comparison.
thats a hot take if ive ever seen one.
atlus aint just persona.
they have plenty of games that are fantastic that are not persona.
maybe in sales sure but not in quality.
I enjoy the SMT core series much more vs the Persona series. I like how it is much darker and more hardcore as an RPG. I've played all of them through and they never disappoint.
That's a bad take.
SMT had a niche following. So did persona. They redid persona starting with three to reach an wider audience. Nothing happened with the original SMT and have stayed the way they were. If they were to revamp that main series you could get what happened with soul hackers lol. You want that?
A spin off is a spin off. Why would they ruin the original? If you like the original then that's great, you can carry on enjoying it. If the spin off is crap it has no impact on the original at all.
I love Persona 5 and P5R but I have zero interest in Strikers or Tactica but even if I played them and didn't like them they wouldn't ruin the original games for me.
Same goes for if you like the SMT games but don't like Persona, why would that suddenly make SMT bad?
Now that Death Stranding has landed on iOS, here are five other PS4-era blockbusters that we'd love to have to play on our iPhones at any time.
Meh. Such an overrated game. The production quality is through the roof which is great but it all comes crashing down with it's tone, delivery of it's story, and horrible pacing. In this aspect P5 has such an identity crisis. It's like it doesn't know if it wants to be an actual serious game about people abusing people or some off the rails wacky story. These two elements clash hard and make for a confusing experience. The themes of abuse are up there and in your face but it's treated so lightly and whimsically that I'm left asking why did you bother with these serious themes if youre not going to make the audience feel anything toward them? And in contrast, the excellent art direction and production is wasted on such a weak story and themes.
I loved GoW, Bloodborne, Spider Man and Doom so far in this gen, but as a JRPG bitch that I am, Persona 5 is still my game of the generation. Shadowbringers and DQ11 were very good, but P5 is perfect in every sense of the word. The worst part about Persona 5 is that it ends eventually
