shane was the 8.5
Andrew Fitch and some other dude were the 9.5s
goty, R&D1>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SE confirmed.
I've never played a SMT or Persona game in my life. Where should I start?
That is one thing I disliked about Nocturne, but I'm coming from an FF background. Something like Kuwabara to lower opponents' agility is difficult to get used to at first. :(
scored higher than DQ8 and FF12 in egm, no money hats involved just pure :heartbeat

Haha. That's one of my favorite things about SMT: the spell names. They're just so awesome. One of the longest running MegaTen fan questions has been "what is the greatest SMT spell name?"
It's obviously Mudoon.
you do more ropleplaying in p3 than in all of the FFs/DQs combined.
you dont do quests at daytime. you have 3 categories Academic, Courage, Charm, depending on how well your rank is on those categories you open up new commu/social links. commus is the way for you to gain access to more powerful personae in the game. of course you can fuck up in a commu and not gain any persona.
the role playing aspect of p3 comes from the fact that the game offers freedom on how to make you own decisions. say for example you hit night and you have a text the next day at school, so you have a choice either say 'fuck off' to school and go kill some demons or be a good boy and study for the exam you have next week... or another example can be some of your friends (in the game) invited you to the dance club but that day you also you have practice with the track and field team.
:-\
Sounds more like an anime, not a rolepaying game.
I can't wait to read all of the newcomers surprise at the spell names when this game comes out.
"Why doesn't this game have more simpler spell names?! Bufularaham? Mudoon? Terakaja? What the shit is all this gibberish?!"
It'll be so awesome.

I'm sure it's a great game, but how can you still be playing PS2 games in the middle of 2007?

Not just this year...PS2 has easily the most, and best games of any console out there...none of the next-gen consoles even begin to compare. I feel no need to upgrade to PS3 or 360 (though I'm slightly tempted by the latter) for at least the next three or four years.
open that game up and put in the fuckin disc
PS2 graphics are ok but Wii graphics are shit - that's the argument I don't get.for me it's because i just spent $250 on the damn thing. it seems lame to spend $250 on the damn thing and get something you already have and have had for years and years, technologically.
I'm sure it's a great game, but how can you still be playing PS2 games in the middle of 2007?
Because the PS2 has had FAR AND AWAY the best lineup of 2007 thus far?
Sorry if there aren't enough PIXELS for you. (not sorry)
[It's not a good game unless it's on a Playstation, right? :lol
Seriously, your bias is crazy. Forza 2 has been the only universally recognized AAA game on the 360 so far this year but the 360 has had far more B+ games than all the other systems combined. You almost piss me off enough to make a joke about curry. >:(
I tend to have more fun with "B+" games than "AAA" games for some reason. Well, people have a pretty warped definition of "AAA" sometimes... Like the Tony Hawk and GTA games frequently get 95+ rankings on gamerankings, but I think they are both really shite. But on the other hand, I'll play something like Baten Kaitos, Digital Devil Saga, Gurumin, or Crush to completion.
2 weeks!
I hate how people keep talking about LAIR. the game fucking sucks people move along.
gotm for P3 :hyper :hyper :hyper

I'm a busy guy, B+ games don't exist.
I also don't count:
First-person shooters
Sports games
Racing games
Games with army men
Any game in those genres suck. A game like Halo 3, an army man FPS with vehicles, is like -2.5 games in one.
I also said "so far this year" because Bioshock, Mass Effect, Rock Band, Blue Dragon/Lost Odyssey, are going to tip the scales back in 360's favor. But I can't be bothered to pretend there's been anything interesting on 360 this year besides Crackdown.
persona 3 >>> overlord
I can see how there haven't been that many 360 games that would interest you this year. But if you haven't got a 360 yet, you can still catch up on games like Dead Rising, Condemned, Viva Pinata, etc. There really hasn't been anything that's AAA on the PS2 this year other than God of War. Everything else is just stuff from B-level teams. Even Persona 3 is arguably from a 2nd tier developer. Also, all 3 of my last gen consoles have rarely been turned on since I've beaten RE4 (GC), God of War, and Ninja Gaiden. But that's just because I get sick of old tech really quickly. I can't wait for the next mega videocard upgrade.
Fes is not a real version, it's a 30 hour expansion disc. It's like have a cherry on top of a cake. The cherry ain't necessary, but it's certainly awesome! Me and Error have been waiting for this game a shy year and a fucking half (and an entire year waiting for the game to come out in NA, since it came out in Japan last July) and we won't be un-hyped at this point. It's going nowhere but up at this point, and even without Fes we're just glad to get the damn game.
Plus, we're going to import Fes and get a translation if it doesn't come out anyways.
Shin Megami games upscaled on ps3 = omg
4) I'm not a tech whore.
5) I'm not biased. :P
dude, i fucked up and started playing nocturne a bit (omg @ the story & setting, so fucking cool)... so i'm still only halfway into DDS2 =\. but i ended up deciding not to play nocturne until i finished DDS2, so i'm back to DDS2. i just completed all the EGG installation parts.
i'll take some pics tonight for you w/ an 8 megapixel camera. :D any specific screens you want to see?
Good for you. I kinda feel ashamed for being one though. :( As much as I laughed at Lair fans, I can't really tolerate playing games with older graphics even if they have great gameplay. Which is why I don't know why I have a WII. Waggling is kinda fun on some games but it can't really make up for last gen graphics. I think WII would be better if they stick with more cartoony graphics like Mario Strikers or Paper Mario. Those games tend to look better with older tech. I'm fine also with old 2d games like Baldur's Gate on the PC but 3d games just age terribly. Even Half-Life 2 looks kinda outdated when I was playing it last week. It sure would be a lot easier on my wallet if I weren't compelled to buy the highest performing videocard everytime. lol

Shin Megami games upscaled on ps3 = omg
PS3 = BEST PS2 EVER
SMT in pseudo HIDEF :heartbeat :heartbeat
Are you guys sure? PS3's upscaling seems to make PS2 games look worse unless the PS2 games don't support progressive scan. A guy on GAf and an IGN feature had pics that clearly showed that PS2 games looked better on a PS2 than on a PS3 with upscaling. Saving games are way more convenient on the PS3 though. I think I still only have 1 8meg PS2 card despite having around 70-80 PS2 games.
I feel that hidden mantras are really valuable. I say scope em out.

PS2 games that look better upscaled are older games or games that utilize geometry over textures. The shin megami games look omg upscaled. A lot of the newest PS2 games afaik pull off a lot of tricks to make things look as good as they do on sdtvs. IMO VP2 doesnt look as good upscaled, but widescreen support IS nice. Cept the 2D obviously isn't supported as everything is stretched lol.

Also, I haven't tried 360's BC either despite having owned a 360 for more than a year. I don't have a wireless adapter and I'm too lazy to hook it to my router upstairs to download the emulating software. Does 360's BC look better than the PS3's since games are truely rendered in HD instead of just being upscaled?
But haven't you been suggesting that the PS3 is a better system than the 360? No one who's played both systems should possibly think that at this moment.

hahaha i love the music on the first one. reminds me of korean drama.
the second one on the other hand was a big WTF to me. i seriously wanted to beat the shit outta heat. it pissed me off that serph pussied out. during the one dialogue sequence where you have a choice to be cool w/ heat again (in the lab), i chose the other option, fuck that guy. i've been tweaking out gale to be my manbeater.
they really should have added more blood during devours in battle, it's a shame that all the bloody parts are in CG sequences.
another gotm for P3 in the newest PSM. really didnt expect the game to get such high scores.
could you guys please put spoilers in spoiler tags -______-
i was gettin' shivers reading about the type of shit you could do in that game. they're really lookin' out for the SMT fans
speaking of PS3 BC, are they removing the hardware BC from US units or was this decided against? Im not a big supporter of software BC after 360

well, the game sounds like it will have a lot of replay value. considering that once a day passes, any action you decided not to do that day will not be accessible again (which means you'll have to replay the game and try different scenarios). the idea that your interactions during the day will shape your abilities and powers is crazy.
i'm sure you've read most of it. i'm not usually keen on social aspects of rpgs, but the direct influence of it all sounds fascinating to me. i'm not even bummed that the other players cannot be controlled manually, like the atlus interview in the back of the book said: it gives you a sense of camaraderie and dependence on all members of your party, while putting all your effort into your primary character. sounds like there's going to be less micromanagement. then again, it could turn all the "control freaks" off.
fuck these feggits rpg leads that talk more than fucking C3PO.

i don't like silent protagonists most of the time. i always see people saying it's supposed to help with immersion or whatever by making it easier to represent you in the game, but i don't care about that. i'd rather have a character i might like than one that serves no purpose.
it's nice having options, but most of the time they don't really change anything anyway. and even when they do, it's not like it makes a big difference, so i don't really care. at best i get a different ending, but it's not like i'll be replaying a game just for a different 5 min cutscene after 30-40 hours.
it's stupid to have silent characters and have input go as far as changing a few dialogs or just the 5 min cutscene in the ending. it's as good as no choice at all, since it's definitely not enough to warrant a replay on its own.still prefer that over say.... Tidus :x
besides, you can still have multiple paths with an actual main character, so add another -1 for silent protagonists.
well uh, it's stupid to have a silent character and not letting the player have any input whatsoever in the story. the reason why I like silent leads more than a lead that talks is because when Im given choices I can decide and pick the one I like most instead of having the story decide that for me, it's more fun to me seeing how my decisions affect the game than having everything be scripted from the beginning.

Missing some titles, but that's ok, we know you are uninformed : )
ps. go take back your 360, wii's last-gen graphics should suit you more since you are stuck in the past
:lol reilly's really got it in for DDS.
i got a taste of about an hour of nocturne though... i think i'm just about ready for demon fusion. on meguro -- yes, i absolutely love the piano tracks. he did the nocturne stuff as well right? i fell in love with nocturne's music right off the bat. in fact, i think all SMT music is really good... some of the guitar stuff is a little too glam rock for me though, i really dig the subtle atmospheric soundtracks in addition to the electronic stuff.

Even in 2008, 360 won't be better than ps2. I will be playing my ps2 for years on end. I'm not living in the past at all.
