Persona 3 THREE WEEKS OMG aka FUCK ATLUS USA

[hyp]

time for a dds marathon this weekend

[Glescoes]

did he just put a gun to his head, and pull the trigger to cast fire?

[Himu]

Yeah.

[Glescoes]

whoaz

[Himu]

So Double Jump shipped out the guides. Any stores get the guide in yet? I need to snag it asap, because DJ guides get rare as fuck. Even more rare than the GAMES.

But they're worth it. I usually don't buy guides, but Double Jump guides are so DELICIOUSLY awesome that they cannot be passed up.

[hyp]

the guides alone are going for $60 for the older SMT games.  i've preordered mine from amazon

APPRECIATE

I saw the Persona 3 Double Jump guide yesterday.

The Double Jump guides are the closest thing we get to the really cool guide books they make over in Japan. I don't buy guides, but it's nice to see a company go the extra mile.

A Game Crazy in Seattle.

[Himu]

Going to my Game Crazy TODAY.

[Mr. Gundam]

No wait! It was Wal-Mart, or was it Fred Meyer? No! I think it was Target. Nope, it was definitely Borders.

Yep, Barnes and Noble.

Why don't you just call around and ask?

[Himu]

Double Jump books pretty much only go to Game Crazy and Gamestop, dude. At least, where I live. So I have to snag them up right when they get on shelves because typically, they only ship 1 to 2 guides.

[Mr. Gundam]

Double Jump books pretty much only go to Game Crazy and Gamestop, dude.

I was joking, dude.

Call the store before you head over there and then have a heart attack when they didn't get it in.

[Himu]

I like to go there myself in this case, because pronouncing the name Shin Megam Tensei: Persona blah blah blah japapapapapa on the phone is just plain awkward.

Plus, Gamestop especially, has the tendancy to have boxes they haven't fucking opened. Usually they will have what you want in that very box. So it helps to come to the actual store rather than calling.

[Himu]

Alright folks, I told you I hopefully had something very nice to share, and I do... for the first time anywhere, I've got for you not only the first sample pages from the artbook that'll be included with the U.S. release of Persona 3, as well as a few details on the included soundtrack, but also the very first look at the actual game cover, not just the cover for the overall special edition packaging.

[Mr. Gundam]

I don't see why Atlus bothered to create a new cover for the North American version, but I like it!

[ananus]

[Himu]

Why weren't the artbooks and packaging done weeks ago

[y2kev]

Why weren't the artbooks and packaging done weeks ago

Atlus USA probably lives paycheck to paycheck, or whatever the corporate equivalent is.

[Himu]

I kinda refuse to believe they delayed this 3 weeks for the artbook.

[Madrun Badrun]

in three weeks I will have money, and this bioshock and metroid!  then no money again 

[Van Cruncheon]

NICE TITS

[Himu]

NOM NOM NOM

[hyp]

finally, himu is in a state of acceptance.  'bout time you changed the thread title.

[Ichirou]

Persona 3: CANCELLED, so that they can translate a version that includes FES.  New version comes out October of 2008.  Wait for it.

Violet room? Oh Gamespot. lol

As I said before I got the Double Jump guide. As per usual, Double Jump seems to have done a great STRATEGY gudie and not one full of fluff a la Brady Games. Also, as per usual, Double Jump has gone out of their way to explain the setting and give historical and culture information to make playing the game experience smoother. Since the setting is pretty foreign - what being a Japanese High School and all - and because the game is so knee deep with Japanese culture, including holidays and hang out places, and not to mention horrifics, I decided to be nice and scan the guide's introduction section that goes over the subject. I suggest anyone who gets the game to read over it. It's pretty interesting, and I'm pretty sure that majority of the game will be lost on you if you don't look a bit into it.

I haven't really looked through the guide all that much, because I am not fond of using guides, especially on the first play through, but it's nice to see that the SMT3:Nocturne guide's demon fusion chart has returned.

[TVC15]

How bout you stop transcribin stupid shit and let me put my strip-mining shovel into your natural resource stores of hot movha?

[BlackMage]

The persona series just sucks all kinds of mud butt.

[Himu]

The persona series just sucks all kinds of mud butt.

I won't dispute this, because they have aged horribly. The battle system in all three psx Persona's sucks, the whole get certain number of cards for blah blah sucks. The gameplay in general isn't that fun, especially after playing through Nocturne and DDS. Still, they're interesting because of their settings and plot.

[bork]

What happens if.....





























....it gets DELAYED FURTHER??? 

[Error2k4]

As long as this doesnt turn into another Growlancer Generations set of delays im ok.

[Himu]
