ITT: Games better than Persona 5

First post and you're already wrong
Jack Perry
caligula is miles ahead of P5. Not P4 though.
Isaiah Ross
I was eyeing this. 3 questions, is there romance? What's the gameplay like? Is the story actually interesting or a snore fest like Trails of Cold Steel?
James Hill
I'm also interested in the answer to these questions. Is Trails of Cold Steel bad? I was planning on playing them.
Julian Wilson
yes good yes
Cooper Scott
>Trails of Cold Steel bad
fuck no
also better than P5
Owen Anderson
Is it actually good?
Thomas Reyes
>Is Trails of Cold Steel bad?
Yes it's very bad. Avoid.
Zachary Baker
None of the shitty games posted or that are going to be posted are better than Persona 5.
Jonathan Powell
I tried playing this and it was fucking terrible, I couldn't even bring myself to finish the first dungeon section after listening to that same fucking track for over half an hour.
Landon Rogers
It's extremely slow. The combat is neat but it's bogged down by boring story
Hunter Campbell
Digimon Cyber Sleuth is
Josiah Gutierrez
>my weeb high-school themed game is better than your weeb high-school themed game
Michael Long
what version did you play?
cyber sluts is also better than P5
Julian Evans
>Tadashi mad the series took off after he left
Ryan Hall
LE box has pretty hot art. Dude strangling a chick and holding her arm away as she has this erotic look on her face.
Lucas Martin
Imagine playing P3/4/5 except the game is much slower, there's a lot more superfluous dialogue, way more cutscenes, and your social links have even less of a payoff. It's also somehow easier than even P4.
Sebastian Taylor
>Furyu
eh, I've never clicked with any of their games
Joshua Ross
>What's the gameplay like?
Running around a school with about 100 students in it and beating them up or befriending them. Except the befriending thing is that every one of those students has a friendship level which you raise by talking to them and getting one of a handful of generic lines shared by other students, and then the friendship level gets locked at 3 until you do a request for them, like bringing them an item or doing a request for someone else first. And sometimes the students get corrupted so you have to beat them up in battles to make them go back to normal.
The combat gameplay is you starting each battle with full SP and inputting up to three actions in a turn, like kicking an enemy into the air and then shooting them as two actions. Every action costs SP and if you run out before the battle is over you need to spend time tediously recharging it with an action for that. Every single action gives you a preview of how the turn will play out which then requires a confirmation before inputting the next action, for some reason. Then when you initiate the turn it plays out painfully slowly with no speed-up function available.
That's all I can comment on.

>what version did you play?
Overdose. On PC, of course.
Parker Walker
Everyone loved it until the PC release was announced.
Samuel Hill
the vita version is the best unironically
Lincoln Nelson
>A small handful of vitagen posters loved it until the game became widely available for everyone else to play at which point everyone else realised that vitagen was full of shit and it was actually a terrible game
Wow, who could've seen that coming?
Benjamin Davis
Really serious question here.
But what type of person plays Atelier games?
Levi Hill
That sounds just like my school life except I was the one getting beat up and I never got befriended
Gabriel Barnes
>tfw vitagen have memed me into buying shit games on more than one occasion
Ryan Myers
The visuals look at lot better, at least. I get that Overdose tried to mimic the style of the character artwork but it just looks way too severe and removes detail from the models instead, like the guy with the sweater vest having the stitching on that become near impossible to see in Overdose.
Atelier is for the most part a quality series and Nelke isn't bad unlike the last several main entries.
Joshua Flores
I'd blame falcom general more honestly. That place is beyond redemption and constantly defends even the shittiest aspects of every kiseki game.
Lincoln Fisher
>Ok guys we made a 4 disc soundtrack with a lot of great music on it, but how should we implement it in game?
>Just play one song in every dungeon and have lyrics fade in when fighting so you're listening to 5% of the soundtrack for 90% of the game
>Brilliant
Levi Flores
Parker Price
Talking about Caligula here though.
Joseph Evans
I've not played one since Iris 2.
Should I start with Rorona or Ayesha?
Kayden Myers
No romance. The gameplay is a brilliant battle system in theory with hit or miss execution brought down by absolutely terrible everything else. When the battle system works, it's probably the most rewarding and satisfying combat I've experienced recently. Too bad you'll be spending 75% of the time being frustrated with confusing inventory/equipment systems, tedious copy paste fetch quests, nonexistent difficulty balancing, boring dungeon design, etc. If you don't like Persona/Trails story you won't like one. Music is 10/10 though.
Gabriel Johnson
Oh, from the reply chain I thought it was about cold steel. My bad.
Evan Morales
Why is it called Caligula?
Is it like the film starring that guy from Clockwork Orange?
Ryder Ross
Both of those are good entries but Rorona is more slice of life while Ayesha has more story to it. But Rorona's sequels are decent while Ayesha's sequels sucked dick. Rorona has more complex alchemy, Ayesha has more complex battles.
Just remember that you want the Plus versions of both, for Rorona because it's a full remake and for Ayesha because the PS3 release is dub-only.
Jordan Rogers
It actually was, I just went full retard and only realised after I made that post.
Elijah Perez
Aaron Rogers
P4 just ripped off part 4 of Jojo's and did it terribly
Jose Wood
as someone who played Vita, Caligula is mediocre.
I mean the only game in recent memory that I can think that Vita Caligula is superior to would be FF15
Landon Turner
Fuck you Escha and Logy is the best game in the series
Alexander Russell
>Caligula is mediocre
nah it's better than P5
Jonathan Roberts
E&L being so bad was why I never tried Shallie.
Blake Turner
Shit makes me force restart
