Lunchmeat Larry posted:I came to it from Nocturne and it felt like most of what I liked about that one had been neutured and/or supplemented with anime nonsense that was way too heavy on a plot/characters I didn't give a poo poo about. Maybe my fault for expecting a more similar game, I dunno The SMT series runs on two distinct tracks with some similarities in theming and gameplay but different styles overall. The mainline Shin Megami Tensei games are more on the dungeon-crawly bits, Persona is heavier on plotting and character interaction. Digital Devil Saga was sort of a mix of the two, but that series is long over. If you want a similar experience to Nocturne then you should check out the DDS games, SMTIV, or Strange Journey.

This happened to me with Devil Summoner 2. I never knew how rough a megaten game could be early on so having this one demon constantly pursuing me was putting more on edge than I had expected to be when I started.

Morpheus posted:It doesn't matter what you answer because every demon is different, and an answer that pleases one will piss off another, even if they're the exact same type of demon. They have like three personalities and the game tells you what type likes what answers 30-40% of the answers are still nonsensical, insane esoteric bullshit that barely corresponds to each answer type but they at least throw you a bone with the personalities

Persona is one of those games where they don't have to give a poo poo about platform because people will just buy the system for it. They released a game on the Vita and it still sold well.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:my favourite stupid Fallout retcon (was it from 3 or 2/Fallout Bible? Could be either) is that super mutants stopped being sterile at some point because it turned out to just be a temporary issue Nah, they still are sterile. Marcus made a joke in 2 that he was worried his sleeping with a hooker was going to get her pregnant and that it takes a few years to get around the initial sterility, but Avellone said that he was just joking. Given that Super Mutants are iconic and vital to the series, and you can't have a decent Fallout game without them as a regular enemy, there's nothing stopping Bethesda from quietly pivoting from that outdated plot point. The bulk of Fallout fans wouldn't know who Vree ever was, much less her being right or wrong about Super Mutant reproduction.

It's cool that demon negotiating is back, but it's kind of poo poo that it sounds like it's straight out of Persona 2 which wasn't the most intuitive or fun system. I sure loved having to talk to a million demons just to get enough cards for a thing.

I sure loved having to talk to a million demons just to get enough cards for a thing. P3 and P4 were my first exposure to the series. I've really wanted to try out the earlier games but I never got a psp. I liked the split between dungeon crawling and social sims. They're disparate systems that loop back into each other in an interesting way. And the way P4 expanded it by giving party members extra commands when you build your friendship up with them was cool.

Persona 2 always seemed really interesting but I never felt like playing through Innocent Sin on PSP then following it up with Eternal Punishment on PSOne, it would just be jarring stepping back like that. I've tried to play Persona 1 a few times but god that game is an awful slog early on.

Imagine being a teenager and just blindly playing Eternal Punishment because Innocent Sin didn't exist in North America! Sure was a confusing romp of a game, but I sort of loved it for it's aesthetic and weird (uncredited) voice acting. It's whoop-rear end time!

I will forever hate the mapmaker in Eternal Punishment. Innocent Sin was definitely the better of the two. EP got bogged down in too many supplementary systems compared to IS's straightforward "fuse monsters, fight monsters, pay shopkeepers extra money for bonuses" gameplay.

The "Ryder is autistic" meme from Mass Effect Andromeda aggravates me far more than it should - seeing a ton of fan art with her surrounded by Sonic toys and so on, and I get annoyed. Something about it just feels much more mean spirited than simply making GBS threads on the game's facial animation.

I can follow the thread from where it starts with bad animation to a person that can't behave properly in social situations but going full Chris chan with it is tasteless.

I didn't think Andromedas facial animation isn't any worse than any other Bioware game, which is pretty bad on principle.
