P4 is good but golden is better. If ps tv's are still able to bought you can play golden on that. Marie isn't in normal so there's that as an advantage.

Golden has a lot of additional content, but tanks its own difficulty balance. You'll have a much more rewarding time doing vanilla P4, which is harder and better.

after watching the Tokimeki episode of Game Center CX I also realized that it's a lot like a dating sim, in that it revolves around time management, hanging out with people, and repeatedly doing menial activities like studying to build up stats in order to better interact with people.

It's not exactly a secret that Persona is a high school dating sim that went in the Fly teleporter with a copy of SMT.

And a horrible monster came out.

yeah, but I hadn't realized that it went down to the mechanics as well. Games like Harvest Moon have dating elements too, but that just amounts to tossing crap at villagers

It's fairly relatable to a lot of people, since despite the major cultural differences that come from the setting, the Persona 4 kids have issues and characters that are recognizable to basically any teenager and young 20-something. Also there's some actual homoerotic imagery in there that is intentional and that imagery is used heavily in one person's character arc. Another character revolves around gender roles and whether she fits into either of them; these are topics that certain groups on the Internet get really stirred up about one way or another, so you got a few elements going there.

that's standard practice for every major game dev at this point. like the division had an entire cgi multiplayer match that they played during shows while people fiddled with controllers that weren't connected to anything

I just thought that it was gameplay cause I thought it was from a trailer that specifically said gameplay only and stuff :\

I wanted to play a cool action rpg where I could play like 3rd person shooter style if I wanted to play as the gunner character...

I was thinking the other way around tbh, esp. if the camera is not adjusted for height differences and cutscenes focus on the top of Lara's head.

This is more an issue with Japan's culture reflected via stereotypes in games and their lack of political correctness in anime than anything else, I think. Plus generic plot holes, re: forgetting an entire arc of character development down the road because :effort:

I'm still real excited for fantasy road tripping with some buds in XV. I'd like a female party member or a less suggestive Sid, but a token RPG female would be worse than none at all. Are there other RPGs with all male parties? I feel like developers always feel the need to add a lady to be a love interest and fill the white mage or archer or thief role in a game (:biotruths:), or they stack the deck with women so it becomes a harem or Atelier game. Just curious, and I can't think of one myself.

If "Spinal Tap" was an exceptional band doing a normal tour, and FFXV is a normal band group of guys on an exceptional tour, then I can have high hopes

Mentioning a strong counterpoint to strawman arguments kind of defeats the purpose of cherry-picking examples, and does the work of opposing arguments for you.

yeah it's really intellectually dishonest to provide examples of sexism in a series about sexism in gaming, in order to prove a thesis one is discussing. i was supposed to write a term paper about italian culture but i wrote it mostly about the mario brothers and i got an F. i just don't get these feminazis
