Is P4 Golden still good despite this bit of fanservice malarkey

It's not like P3P v FES, where both versions are inferior in major ways to the other, P4 is just a straight up addition of content and huge quality of life improvements in gameplay, it's THE version to play

Outside of new chie, rip in peace old chie voice

But like legit if you have a ps2 you should play p4, it's an incredible, incredible game, in my opinion the greatest jrpg ever made

No, personas 1 and 2 are in a different universe-1 is really bad and 2 is really weird because it's a two-part game, 3 occurs before 4 and is within the same universe (in fact, in one sequence of p4 you visit the high school from p3) but besides that section which works by itself removed from the p3 reference they're completely stand alone stories

Like nothing in p4 that happens is at all related either overtly or subtly to the events of p3 outside of the big reference sequence

There are some minor references to 3 but nothing essential (mainly a bunch of jokes during a short diversion), and the first two games are only tangentially related to 3 or 4.

The Persona series takes place in the same world but all the stories are mostly separate, they share thematic and mechanical links instead. The only risk of starting with P4 is getting hooked on the series and learning to your dismay that all the others aren't as good.

Also Space Dandy is one of the best anime of the last decade (slim competition, I know) and anyone who likes them movin' pictures owes it to themselves to watch it. It's basically what happened after Shinichiro Watanabe (the Cowboy Bebop guy) somehow secured near-unlimited funding and collaborated with all his animation buddies to do whatever the hell they wanted for 26 episodes.

I still meet people who insist P3 is better than P4 and I'm always like "yeah, sure dude, whatever you say" because it makes no sense to me.

They usually argue that p3 is "darker" and the plot is better because it'a more REAL man, it's more HARDCORE

Or they're aigis fans in which case run far and fast away from them

I remember one guy tried to argue that the answer was good and it was all I could do to stop laughing at him forever

I don't know anything about Persona, but I have to assume that it has people capable of saying why it is good considerably better than this comic, which is one of the most irritating and confusing things I have ever looked at.

If someone wanted to argue P3 is better than 4 because it has the best party member in it, they'd be right, since 3 has Shinjiro.

It's absolutely meant to be read if you've played the game, it's just making jokes about the game's story. It's basically the equivalent of that comic someone did a few years ago for the main Who thread. You know the one.

This thread and the Giantbomb thread are reaching some kind of Persona fueled goon singularity and I'm all for it.

I love P4 for similar reasons to why I love Doctor Who. It's goofy fun and serious emotion in the same package with lots of monsters inbetween. It's Twin Peaks mashed up with Scooby Doo mashed up with Pokemon.

Vincent and the Doctor

This, more than any other episode, was expected to be a sure thing. How sure? Eighty Two people though this episode was an A. Only three people thought this was an average episode. Kinda interestingly, the number of A or B guesses is the same as Eleventh hour. It does also mean the Mo0 is denied what I thought would be his first zero, so sorry mo0.

I'm actually kinda worried. It looks kind of like an SMT throwback cuz it's back to fighting demons and having both a gun and a melee weapon. Also it looks like social links might be cut and replaced with something new.

The fun of playing Five Nights at Freddy's (or watching someone play it) is that the game mechanics pits you against your own sense of paranoia. To win, you have to keep calm and do things at a regular interval. If you are sluggish and don't do the things fast enough, or panic and do the things too fast, you lose. In theory, is should be easy. In practice, almost everyone fucks up, which is entertaining to watch. That, and it hit the virtually untapped 'Chuck E Cheese animatronics are creepy because of the uncanny valley' niche.
