persona 4/5 announce incoming?

[magus]

i actualy didn't realize who is the murder but that's because it makes no sense! it's like the game goes "the murder is this guy! bet you didn't except that uh?" like pick 999,it has another murder mystery plot but you can actualy guess who's the murderer,the game drops huge hints about it but you are not really sure if it's him because you don't know what his motive and you want to know that! but in P4 "it's me! i did it for no reason!"

and everything surrounding the lackluster plot equals

1) a lackluster dungeon crawler which operates under bullshit atlus rule where "enemy that explodes in your face = insta game over = HARD GAME = BEST GAME EVER!" and the lamest battle system ever

2) tons and tons of boring s.link dialogue where you pretend to bone everything

so yea sometimes you have fun in the dungeon crawler segments (usualy when stuff isn't exploding on your face) and sometimes the s.link aren't boring (probably when they aren't saying "demi-kun") but over-rated doesn't even begin to explain it

[Himu]

Sounds like someone doesn't know what plot is. While P3/4's plot are both thin, the elements surrounding it: characters, theme, symbolism are all great, making it a great story.

That said, P4's s links are way worse than P3's. In P3, you play as a crafty devil who dons multiple personas to make people do your bidding. Convince a little girl to run away? Easy! Make your homeroom teacher fall in love with you? No problem! Convince your fellow student to keep going to kendo practice despite risking not being able to play sports ever again due to a leg injury? Where do I sign?! Raid bathroom stalls and bully students to find a perp who did drugs on campus?! Fuck yes!!!

P4's are more boring in comparison, and this is without mentioning the wonderful Sun slink in P3 where you help a dying young man come to terms with his life coming to an end.

[iconoclast]

yeah but Persona 3 has Ken, Fuuka, and that stupid dog. P4 wins by default.

Teddie is awesome.

[Himu]

Ken is cool. He's one of the few kid characters i actually like. the dog is a waste, and...yeah, fuuka.

it's nowhere near as exciting as you make it sound, it's more like

BORINGTEXTSKIPBORINGTEXTSKIPBORINGTEXTSKIPBORINGTEXTSKIPBORINGTEXTSKIP

apart from that, it's a boring dungeon crawl game, pokeyman for the ostentatious

[demi]

Sounds about right.

[magus]

symbolism? are you fuckin kidding me? evangelion kids talk about symbolism when somebody tells them their anime suck

and ken spends his whole on screen time whining about his parents death,he's like hope prototype
and the less i think about the uber forced incredibly lame love drama that happens later the better

lmao typical himuro



seriously just watch the endurance run vids for persona 4 on giantbomb. It's embarrassing to watch. Here, it starts on page 8:

http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/5/

The script is so hilariously awful, and the shitty voice acting cements the shittiness. I like how they GET SUCKED INTO A TELEVISION AND ENTER ANOTHER DIMENSION then casually remark the event the next day by questions like "remember what happened yesterday?"  No, fucking really? Is this a game for 6 year olds or what? And they bring the mindfucking issue up after they're done catching up with the latest highschool gossips
The game keeps repeating random facts and stuff in the form of integrating it in the terrible script by having the characters say it over and over again, in a manner as if they're trying to explain things to a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow, which I guess is the intended audience for this franchise
good fucking game rofl

[Himu]

Who said it was exciting? It happens. You use people to get new powers. It owns.

All this from a man who puts FF7 on a pedastal.

No, I'm not. It just seems to me you are only able to understand stories when looked at face value. The entire SMT franchise is steeped with symbolism. Are you new to this series?

[Bebpo]

Persona 2 IS psp got a 29/40 in famitsu which is the score they give really shitty games.

Sounds like it'll be about the same quality as Persona 1 psp & Devil Summoner psp.  Atlus R&D1 are great at making new games, but it seems like they suck at cheap ports and their old games don't hold up anymore.

[demi]

Not enough underage children for Famitsu

[choco parfait]

If that was the criteria, Idolm@ster should have gotten 40/40 all over the place.

[demi]

That is an Xbox game... prosecution rests

[Diunx]

Ken is cool. He's one of the few kid characters i actually like. the dog is a waste, and...yeah, fuuka.

Ken fucking sucks, terrible character.

[iconoclast]

Yeah I hate Ken. He's just another entry in a long, long, LONG list of children shitting up RPGs. And The Answer made me hate him even more.

I think The Answer as a whole soured me on P3's story. It's so fucking bad it drags the rest of the game down with it.

P4 for lyfe
