I saw a few choice panels of her spin-off manga and knew I chose right to never pay attention to the P4 spin-off stuff. She was real good in the game, though. Great VO too.

I don't hate Naoto, but her showing up marks the point where the game turns into The Naoto Show featuring The Investigation Team where she becomes an exposition robot who figures out every detail of the plot for the other characters.

So let's say hypothetically that I somehow recieved the copy today since I live in a country where 'Release date' is more of a suggestion then law.

Could I, purely hypothetically log into the dlc shoppe and download the original voiceover patch?

Or would I be heavily risking just getting my system banned, account burned down and my wife and I being arrested by IP protection police?

i would wait just to be safe because they can feasibly track what your account has downloaded and be REALLY upset about it

Yeah, I agree with you. Cameos are never a good things, especially when the cast of P4 is involve since that's like the Final Fantasy 7 of the Persona franchise. Too beloved for that sort of thing.

Most games journalists have been to jail hundreds of times for downloading patches early for review copies. It's no laughing matter. Just a hazard of the job I suppose.

I was laughing at/reading the NeoGAF review thread and the poster of that thread refused to put digital trends review into their big listing at the front page because they didn't want people to focus on it


because they gave it a very well reasoned out and explained

SEVEN out of ten


and then he sheepishly added it in when people said he was cherry picking because he wanted to defend this game's honour

Does the online stuff also include what people did on certain days? Even with a guide and maxed stats I still managed to gently caress up my S-Link schedule in Persona 4. I'm bad at time management, which is no surprise because I'm a nerd who plays video games too much.

Neogaf is real loving strange about review scores. Like some of those dudes take anything less than 9 as an attack on a game.

"People claimed a 7 for Breath of the Wild(9.7 average score) is a good score, so here on NeoGAF nearly everything is a "good" score.

While I do agree, an 8.5 is fine I guess, below the 8 is where it's starting to feel bad and that's also the reason why reviews below a 7.5 are colored yellow on MC."

it's pretty much just about validating their own opinions. they see something less than a 9 not as an attack on the game, but as an attack on them.

The most I was willing to stretch was £5 so I don't have to put the disk in my console when ever I wanna play it despite the fact that whenever I play a PS4 game, the console is always within arms reach.

It seems like the same sort of narcissism bred in fandoms like Zelda where they need review scores to validate their own thoughts on the game and when someone simply thinks it's above average instead of the best thing ever made they get real insecure about it and begin to personally attack the people involved

My favourite recent examples were when all the previews for Mass Effect 4 came out and almost everyone was dunking on it and you'd get people cherrypicking the one remotely positive comment in the mountain and they'd bring this one example up as a "see, it can't be bad, this person likes it and is saying what I want to hear about it, literally everyone else is dumb as gently caress unlike me and this poster!"
