I did like most of the characters (Ann and Morgana were awful and Ryuji became annoying), the art was sexy and the music was mostly great, Igor and the Twins were cool. But this 100 hour game could have easily been a 30 hour one. I wish I'd just seen a playthru on Youtube instead of wasting my time and money
Persona 5...sucks
What's your IQ?

Fuck off Ryan.
Did you play it on easy?
Not him, he did highlight its flaws tho
Normal
How the fuck is Mementos grindy? Were you that garbage that you actually wasted free time to grind in anything that isnt the palaces on your first/second visit?
Playing it hard isn't really going to change all the shit he pointed... maybe make the slog 140 hours instead...
You don't need to grind at all for hard mode either, even if you do need to grind, reaper is extremely easy to kill in this game and killing him once or twice is more than enough to push the endgame section of the game.
did we really need another P5 thread? At least make it a PQ2 thread, nobody's talking about it.
Dilate, Ryan. Quit pushing your "P5 is shit" rhetoric
You didn't address a single point, memenigger
>[x] gameplay is 100x more shallow than Pokemon's
Already wrong, stopped reading
>more shallow than pokem-
i've seen enough
Pokemon has dual types, stats matter, held items, Mega Evos, Z Moves, terrain, weather, STAB, moves like Destiny Bond, Protect, Copycat
Pokemon is way fucking deeper

Fuck it. I'm going to wait for the switch version, and replay this shit from the start.
Combat on harder difficulty was very fun, but what is the point if it's not available for half of your play time?
And just as OP said, the story was fairly bad anyway. Generic anime shits.
should have been a VN
Well you are OP so your retardation isn’t surprising
>more shallow than pokemon's
woah there friend you might need to slow down
see
lmao whats p2q
>stats matter
Gameplay that revolves around "which team's numbers are bigger?" is not engaging. People play SMT games because there's more to them than that.
>pokemon being deep
When was the last time you had to think in a Pokémon game?
>in b4 comp fags
Also the fusion systems blows Pokémon out of the water
Pretty much this family. Combat is fucking horrible in Persona games.
>Pokefag doesn't know what SMT is
And none of those matter because it’s a children’s game
Good thing he's talking about Persona and not SMT then.
i was the only person in my town that even bought it lol
SMT fags are delusional as shit
Not only is the combat trivialized JRPG combat
But it just as equally boils down to "Abuse weaknesses and gain extra turns!"
It gets so bad that enemies can't even get attack turns
Literally trash. Cope Personafags. Cope SMTfags.
SEETHING
>But it just as equally boils down to "Abuse weaknesses and gain extra turns!"
Alright if you're OP I was agreeing with you until this post. The majority of MegaTen games don't even use Press T.urn
I don't have a console but I bought a physical copy to support physical copies
I agree, and most of those points are reasons I keep avoiding finishing the game. Does the game actually get better later on?
>It gets so bad that enemies can't even get attack turns
they can
also only Nocturne, DDS1, DDS2, IV, and IVA use press turn in the entire franchise
>Nocturne
>DDS
>IV duology
These are the only fucking games that matter, and they all boil down to that trashy ass combat. I'm sick of SMTfags running through this board acting superior over their trash games. No wonder this series is so damn dead. Persona is shit as well, but at least it manages to embrace the fact that it's a visual novel.
If you don’t enjoy the early game I can’t recommend the later parts of the game but hey maybe you’ll like it
>These are the only fucking games that matter
Okay yeah you're just a fucking faggot
youre forgetting buffs, status effects, items, and support skills are all actually varied and viable just like in any good rpg including pokemon
name another rpg with a character knockdown/assist status mechanic that works like persona
the combat itself if affected by things like social links/confidants
demon and persona fusion is also varied and highly customizable build-wise, far beyond anything pokefag was talking about
just because theres no weather in combat or 1000 shallow and boring monsters and the press turn/one more system is exploitable doesnt change that the combat and mechanics affecting it are much more complex than you are trying to argue
fuck yourself and play a real shin megoomi tensay game you casual pleb
nocturne would tear you a new asshole
Keep on coping OP
We know your working hard on sword and shield
Look at all these fucking hurt ass replies. I told you to cope Ryan. I'm going to keep tearing apart any form of Megaten thread, so long as you pretentious clowns run rampant on the board. You want a real JRPG? Play Xenoblade kiddo. Again, you need to fucking cope with how shitty the gameplay in these games truly are.
>I/II/If..
Outdated SNES games that are in no way relevant.
>Nocturne/IV Duology
Utilize this Press Turn garbage. If V does it, it for sure won't be getting my money.
>Spinoffs
Raidou gameplay is ass and everyone knows it. The only reason people hype those games up is because of its story and setting. Otherwise, it's ass. I can't even be assed to play Devil Survivor. It looks like a knock off TWEWY with Persona elements.
>knockdown
To be fair, knockdown is becoming less like being knocked down in each game.
In P3 you had to use a turn getting up
In P4 getting critted while down would make you dizzy, so there's at least still a way to lose turns
By P5 however, being "down" does not affect you in the way that being knocked down actually would. It's only meaningful in the context of All Out Attacks, and in slightly increasing damage taken.
Xenoblade is my favorite game, actually. You're still a faggot. You're great at baiting though, it's difficult to resist replying.
Name your top 5 JRPGs, user.
Knockdown should come back in p3 it made a random encounter intense but that’s a mix of AI party and the fact you had to wait to get back up
>Xenoblade 2
>Tales of Vesperia
>Pokemon Soul Silver
>Xenogears
>SaGa
Everything else is based except pokemon
Fuck off, Anthony Burch!
I liked how social links affected knockdown and status ailments worked with your own party in Persona. I don't remember exactly knockdown/status ailments relationships with confidants worked in 5, to be fair, but the way it worked in 4 was unique when I first tried it. With SMT there is always the RNG aspect, too, where you can get afflicted or completely knocked down and beaten in turn 1, but thats part of the fun for Megaten fags. Really, it's a matter of taste. Some people like pressturn/onemore and exploiting weaknesses and some people don't, but it's not the only thing that affects the flow of combat in Megaten.
Cope, Ryan
Finished Persona 3 a few days ago, overall good game except those weeks when literally nothing happened, be it advancing the main story or some sidequest stuff, do P4 and 5 have the same problem?
>calls MegaTen a series with shallow gameplay that people only like for the story and setting
>Likes Tales of
Pretty good taste, but I'd argue Tales incredibly shallow combat across the board. You're a faggot for trying to shit on Megaten with a Tales game that high on your list.
>I'd just seen a playthru on Youtube instead of wasting my time and money
Zoomer detected opinion discarded
P4G has the opposite problem. You get so many options that it's hard to choose.
P5 has a lot more dead time than it has any right to, but it's less than P3.
Crank up the difficulty friend.
Also, the first enemies you fight are easy and predictable, that's the point. By the end game it gets a little more interesting. Ultimately it's still a JRPG, but unlike most JRPGs, it actually has a good story.
>Any persona after 3
>Good story
I like the games too but nah
it was good, but definitely not worth waiting 10 years for between that and p4
I've just been shitposting, honestly. You Megaten bros are pretty cool, with the exception of mouth breathing Personafags who don't discuss the games.
Good, thanks, too bad golden is not an option for a pc incel but i'll manage
3's story is trash compared to 4 or 5.
Why the FUCK aren’t Persona 3 FES or P4G on PS4
Can someone help me, I'm playing pq2 and the third maze boss is driving me nuts, the fight is just too long and gimmicky and he restores all of his fucking health everytime
He’s right though, it’s made for edgy weeb teens. Imagine being an adult that enjoyed the game lmao
Yeah, that's cool, dude.
It's been fun flinging shit.
Persona games are good and have their merits, but waifufags who barely play the games if at all and post in Persona general are cancer.
Also, if you like Xenogears, you're good by me.
NEVER EVER
So many smashfag posers posting about this game recently just shut the fuck up about it and be yourself.
oh my fucking god I fucking hate you
>ryanfag screaming at anything persona 5-critical
can we just call him or them that now
Yooo cope lmao
>Momentos existing, fuck that grindy boring torture
Nothing about Mementos was grindy though. Its entire purpose was to give a place for side quests and to find personas you may have missed in the last palace. It you were going there to grind levels, you were doing something wrong because at no point in the game was grinding necessary. If you had to repeatedly go back in to do side quests, then you weren't optimizing your time and should have been building up a backlog so you could complete several at a time
When it comes time to go to the final dungeon, if you haven't already made it down far enough to just walk in, you were also doing something wrong. I never had to spend more than an hour there at a time and every time I was accomplishing quite a bit. Also, as far as it being boring same looking shit, you can't complain about Mementos without also complaining about Persona 3, which is something P3 fanboys are often quick to forget that their precious game's primary dungeon was effectively the same fucking thing.
Now he's larping as a xenoblade fan
Who the fuck is Ryan anyway
Fictional, or probably just the name of this discord tranny himself
>Fuck it. I'm going to wait for the switch version
But that's not coming. It was already confirmed that P5S was a musou game. If your waiting for another release, then your only option is going to be P5R.
Now imagine OP made both threads.
>implying you're not Ryan
Fuck off Ryan. I'm so sick of you fucking up P5 threads with your bullshit? You think your a big man? Cope.
>Xenoblade 2
worst in the franchise, awful game
>Tales of Vesperia
whatever
>Pokemon Soul Silver
It's one of the worst in the franchise, horribly imbalanced game
>Xenogears
the game was released unfinished
>SaGa
which one?
pretty much, ghe edgy teenager version of pokemon
3 is not good in so many aspects whether it's your party, the combat, the confidants, etc.
As someone who loves Devil Survivor and TWEWY, the two only have superficial similarities. They’re actually pretty different in tone and gameplay style. Quit talking shit about games you know nothing about.
SMT came out before Pokémon, dumbass.
>Tfw you speak about shit you're unaware of
So yea, try again
Dumb Pokéfag.
Don't bully Pokefags, guys. They're stuck with Sword and Shield.
I’ll bully them for sticking with Pokémon regardless.
None of the fucking depth matters if you can win every fucking game with 1 pokemon you dumb fucking nigger
>Pokemon is way deeper
You forgot to add shittier to the list, too.
>But this 100 hour game could have easily been a 30 hour one.
This is how every Persona after 2 is. They're all stretched out way too long to fit the calendar system. They're kind meh as is since I'm not into the social aspect, but they could be better if they weren't stretched out so long.
Why is this thread still up?
Cope, Ryan
Criticism of your favourite game is not against the rules
?????
You didn't criticize anything though.
>"LALALA I CANT HEAR YOU, EVERY CRITICISM I SEE DOESNT APPLY"
Slash your wrists with a spoon, Ryan
>Can't spell
>Can't grammar
>Can't format
>Attention span of a goldfish and blames the story for it
>No criticisms beyond fill-in-the-blank "I totally played it I promise" format
>"Muh Morgana" meme
>"I-I have normal person IQ I swear guys!!"
I thought Ryan was the one who hates the game, why does he suddenly love the game now.
Is Ryan just a catch-all term for "person whose opinions are different from mine" in Persona 5 threads
You’re 100% right... it’s a very shallow game through and through. I have to believe it (and the series) only has the praise that it does is because the waifus and that the link system is cool conceptually, because there is no other way to defend it.
You finally get it
Ryan loves P5, though. Did you miss the hundreds of threads where he claimed P3 fags were shitting on P5 for being a "soulful" game, and had an utter meltdown?
take your meds
>I wish I'd just seen a playthru on Youtube instead of wasting my time and money
I don't understand people like this.
Cope, Ryan
Don't care.
Got to bang a hottie teacher in a maid outfit.
I literally just told you to cope.
Cope with this cock in your mouth faggot
>Ryan: persona 5 is shit
>Also Ryan: persona 5 is great
ignore all ryanfags
Pokemon...sucks
Did anyone find the game shitty and overrated?
>gameplay is 100x more shallow than Personas

>story is not that great, felt like a forgettable seasonal anime

>Professor Oak not letting you do anything (why not just send me back to bed?)
Yeah exactly the game is really overhyped and overrated
it doesn't help that the fans can't defend it and resort to calling everyone "Ryan"
