Digital Chumps: Persona 4 Review

Digital Chumps: "Think of Persona 4 as a streamlined, alternate universe version of Persona 3. It shares enough mechanics for casual idiots to lament its alleged lack of innovation, but it contains a narrative so unique and characters so fully realized to instantly render those complaints as pointless. For a genre many have abandoned on a system most have already left behind, Persona 4 may unfortunately be the most overlooked game this holiday season. It's quite a shame, because it stands on the same pantheon as some of the best titles ever released on Playstation 2."

Isn't this the highest rated rpg right now?

Danja5646d ago

YUP it is...and it's also the best RPG of the year.....

only a few more days...been waiting forever for this game...

rucky5646d ago

I know it's crazy. Persona 4 could possibly become the highest rated RPG of all time if this keeps up.

Danja5646d ago

well it deserves to be...hopefully more ppl will know about these games...it's one of the best RPG Franchise ever IMO..

meepmoopmeep5646d ago

i'm worried that i won't have as much time to play this once i get it.
i still haven't finished FES yet, lol.

gaaah, why do i like rpg's so much, dammit.
no tiiiiiiiime :(

kwicksandz5646d ago

I picked up P3 FES today. Didnt know it had a PAL release, so i saw it and took a chance.never played any past personas so im going in with a fresh pallete but ive read nothing but good things about it. God damm it was a bad move for sony to ditch backwards compatibility, really dont wanna have to dust off the ps2 >.>

callahan095646d ago

I'm worried about time as well. I still haven't finished Fallout 3, Fable 2, Valkyria Chronicles, Infinite Undiscovery, or Tales of Vesperia! And now this!

mpmaley5646d ago

Good, Atlus deserves more attention. Their games are fantastic.

Atlus’ Domain Registrations: Persona Games/Spin-offs The Future Holds

"Atlus, the publisher of the ever-growing Persona franchise had registered a bunch of domains related to the Persona series. Keep in mind, companies register domains and trademarks all the time that they never actually act on. (Example: Sony’s glove controller for PS4) However, the series is continuing to grow with its fifth main installment shipping 1.5 units on PS4 — that’s a huge number for this once-niche RPG series. The series quickly gained traction after the release of Persona 3 on the PS2 — ever since then we’ve gotten a handful of remakes and spin-offs. Because I’m such a fanboy of Persona, I want to go through the list of domains and give my thoughts on what each domain Atlus has registered could be." -- PlayStation Enthusiast

Better hope you have a backwards compatible PS3

?

These are sales for the digital versions of those games in fact I have a backwards compatible PlayStation 3 and I still opted to purchase the digital version of some of these games simply because they ran faster and the actual PlayStation 2 versions cost a fortune.

Ironically I'm actually currently playing Persona 4 right now on my PlayStation 3

RhymeNorReason2623d ago

Persona 4 on eBay is only $15... that's not a fortune. Though I did purchase this digitally to save a few $$$.

_-EDMIX-_2623d ago

@Rhyme- thats a good deal for that version. Its normally always $10 on PSN though.....

Mind you, I couldn't find it on Amazon for that price years ago when I was looking for it lol.

I found it on PSN simply by googling and finding out Atlus put a lot of their games on PSN and I ended up getting it on sale for like 5 bucks.

Tross2623d ago (Edited 2623d ago )

$4.50 for the Mass Effect Trilogy?! I would jump on that if I didn't already have the game. I also own all of these Atlus titles physically, and I think I did get the digital version of Persona 4 just to support the digital release/have it on my PS3, even though I think my PS2 is still the most authentic way to play it. Granted, Golden is the definitive version IMHO with maybe one minor point in favour of the original. Perhaps I should open up a Tracy Rooney vs. Erin Fitzgerald discussion right here for my own amusement, but derailing the Internet can't be that easy, can it?
