I only have a PS4 but been thinking of getting a Vita. Looks like the every persona except 4 is for older systems only.

All of the Persona games can technically be played on a Vita. The only Persona you can't play on Vita is Persona 3 FES, but Persona 3 Portable is the better version, it's just missing the Answer expansion. A lot of people hated the Answer, I don't understand why. It retains the strong storyline that Persona 3 is known for, but with a very heavy focus on dungeon crawling and no deadlines. It gives a lot of fans what they were asking for; the ability to dungeon crawl without worrying about a timeline or the social features, but they still hated it anyways.Skeezy posted:They were on sale for $60 a couple days ago.

Not in a game where you fail if the main character dies Edit: I'm kind of surprised that two key Sony franchises are MIA: Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank, especially with the movies releasing in the near future. blackguy32 fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Feb 6, 2015 |

Apparently it's not so much a remake as it is a new game that reboots the story to match the plot of the movie, so no more rear end in a top hat Ratchet.

Yo Persona 3 is boring as poo poo (at least the first month or so, I couldn't really stomach any more past that) but Persona 4 is really amazing from the getgo so play that. If you have a Vita, P4 Golden is basically the best game on the system.

After getting most of the way through it I'd say it's one of the most enjoyable games I've played in the genre. It's pretty flawed but the middle of the road reviews are BS. It's a lot of fun and there's a ton of content.

Thank god for that, I had to skip about half of R&C1 because Ratchet was such an incredible dick, and just went straight to 2. I understand the 90s were big on edgy characters, but he was just a jerk.

The real problem with Persona 3 is that for about 80% of that game there just isn't a plot.

Agreed, but it's something of a necessary evil. By the time it dumps you out on your own, it's explained how to fuse persona, what's going on, and how to do well in combat (press-turns, etc). Though showing where the item shop actually is would really have helped. Didn't find the drat place til I stumbled upon it by accident in June on my first playthrough.

Transistor is loving awesome. I love the battle system a lot. It's just challenging enough, I feel like I have to work hard to win fights, or at least think up a smart strategy, and if I wing it too much I'll be punished, and death is handled brilliantly in the "lose a health bar, lose an attack option" it makes death both punishing but also not like "ah, reload a checkpoint" unless you do VERY poorly. The addition of bosses has been interesting so far. The story is great, I love that you unlock the plot by experimenting with different attack options. It's not quite as organic as how they handled it in Bastion, but I enjoy plot being a reward for learning to play the game as a concept and in execution. The soundtrack is also very nice, and I really like the main characters.

Has anyone else's download of Rogue Legacy caused huge system issues? Twice I've tried booting it only for the system to hardlock and restart the OS from scratch, or just crash outright from the loading screen from dash.

MrAristocrates posted:The real problem with Persona 3 is that for about 80% of that game there just isn't a plot. Well the plot suffers from the first major aspect of the plot taking the majority of game time and gameplay, but there is a plot there. It's just that until you beat the big shadows then you don't really get any major answers to the game's questions, and that takes a long time. It's a slow burn with a pretty great pay-off. P3's plot is basically character-focused anyway, the major events of the game are important, but not as important as the little events in the lives of the main cast as they learn and grow as a team. P4 did this much better, but both games have been very personal tales focused on the cast, rather than broader and more event-driven stories. It's why characters like Shinjiro are still important, especially once he's given the proper treatment in P3P and you learn more about his character, but even in the original, he exists for the growth and development of the cast, one character in particular.

I understand the 90s were big on edgy characters, but he was just a jerk. You also should have skipped it because the first game is pretty mediocre/bad overall. I'm glad I gave the second one a chance, but I'm not honestly sure why I did after the first one.

I haven't picked up my vita in a while and I left off where I had just beaten the bathhouse and gotten the kanji dude. How many dungeons are left?

My favorite part of Apotheon is either the part where the game crashes when I complete an objective or when I get thrown by the wolf guys and I get stuck inside of a wall and die. The satyr enemies that teleport you out of the dungeon in one hit so you have to waste a minute or two running back to the fight are also good. Boss names covering a third of their health bars too.

I played P3P and P4G because people on the Internet made it sound like I was supposed to. It took me more than a year to beat P3P and probably less than a month to beat P4G. Still hate anime bs, so some stuff was obnoxious, but I was able to look past a lot of it and the games are fun. I'm looking forward to P5, but I hope that cat is nothing like the robot chick or the annoying bear. Edit: for people who have no experience with the series, the combat is Persona games is turn based, but there are some cool elemental/summon things (the personas) and combined attacks which make it feel fresh and fast paced. There is no shame in playing on easy mode, either. It significantly reduces grinding. Edit2: P4G is kind of like Scooby Doo with some generic social commentary of varying quality that is optional and unlocked by spending time with designated friends. If you develop better friendships, then you can create more powerful personas. the truth fucked around with this message at 05:22 on Feb 6, 2015 |

MUSCULAR BEAVER posted:But people say this about final fantasy It's way more interesting than Final Fantasy and does a lot of sweet freaky poo poo with the art style and the way game progression works and how you learn skills and level up and the combat and everything. I think it's the best JRPG. 3 and 4 are representative of how the series currently plays (although the trailer makes it look like they switched some things up in 5) -- 1 and 2 are cool for their time but really old and you can skip them, but everyone should play Persona 3 or 4

There is no shame in playing on easy mode, either. It significantly reduces grinding. You really are best off playing on Easy Mode the first time through. It still throws a challenge in the boss fights, and gives you a much larger degree of free time to use for Social Links or stat grinding due to not having to pull out of a dungeon every second floor to go heal up (that said; using a Goho-M to leave a dungeon lets you come back right to the floor you left on another day). It's also possible to utterly break the Main Character's leveling over your knee in one of the last few dungeons of Persona 4 to make it far easier to get into the 90's for all those sweet, sweet top-tier Personae. One of the last dungeons has an early enemy called the Contrarian King, and he generally appears in pairs on their own. Their only moveset is to spawn cherubs that have only a basic physical attack. Go into the dungeon on your own, equip a weak weapon and a Persona with Phys.Null. Let them start laying down Cherubs, then just turn on Auto-Attack. The MC will slaughter the cherubs, but at a slower rate than they're spawned and nothing can harm him. Go do something else for an hour or two, come back and murder everything with some proper moves to finish the fight, and both the MC and Rise will jump like 10-20 levels easily.
