Those streaming rules sure make Atlus sound like All The Dicks So I'm like 9 hours into Persona 5 and I feel like the whole map system/exploring Tokyo is a mess and not a fun one. How much "exploring" do I need to do? Can I just always teleport to whoever wants to spend time with me that day and ignore everything else?

isn't there just fast travel? to the general areas people are in?

Yeah you can fast travel to literally anywhere, that's why I'm asking if "exploring" is necessary. All the nested map menu screens make it seem way more confusing than P3 and P4, plus I'm not sure I feel like wasting time checking what every person has to say every day.

It's overwhelming at first but there's not that many places. I also spent like a half hour just visiting every nook and cranny I could find without doing anything just to get my bearings, I love poking around worlds like that

Is P5 the kind of game with serious time pressure? If it's anything more decisive than harvest moon I might have to skip it 'cause of analysis paralysis

It's not pressuring in terms of beating the game, and there's not a running clock, just choosing which activity to spend a time period on. Dungeon dives take up a night, for instance.

If it's anything more decisive than harvest moon I might have to skip it 'cause of analysis paralysis the only real pressure is completing a dungeon before a set date or else You Lose, but you have ample time to explore at your leisure, first dungeon gives you i wanna say three? weeks of in-game time before game over

Take this line from the IGN review:quote:Balancing Persona 5’s many activities with maintaining these social links (each of which can only be advanced on specific days) is a welcome challenge and will require methodical notetaking for anyone who wants to maximize each day of the calendar. I play video games to get away from work, not to do more work! e: and I guess I've been burned from remembering how strictly you had to play P3 and P4 in order to see certain things, I've already seen "If only my STAT were high enough for this dialogue choice" more than once and gently caress thaaaaaaaaat precision fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Apr 5, 2017 |

precision posted:I've already seen "If only my STAT were high enough for this dialogue choice" more than once and gently caress thaaaaaaaaat When that happens early on in a Persona game, it's often a New Game+ bonus thing. I'd bet those dialog choices require more of that stat than you could realistically have at that point on a first playthrough. There were a few of those in Persona 4, too. If the game is anything like Persona 4, you can play pretty casually and still max most of the social links. Maybe not literally all of them, but probably all the ones you actually enjoy and the ones that offer good gameplay bonuses.

I am playing the game, but as I get older my patience for games which gate content behind a second playthrough when a first playthrough takes 90+ hours is to say the least "naff". And having played P3 and P4 I know that the game itself isn't going to tell me what I can miss, or even when there is stuff to miss. So back to my original question "Do I need to comb over all of Tokyo every single day in case there's a Social Link person that only appears in the empty lot behind the movie theater on alternate Tuesdays?"

It's not a big deal at all, you played the older games and you know the scoop already Any minor thing you miss you can always YouTube, nobody expects you to max out all the social links on one play-through (or at all really, I never ever have and still enjoyed the poo poo out of P3 and P4)

I mean the quick travel thing tells you when there's a new social link in an area so just keep an eye on that I guess Plus if you're playing connected to the online thing you can hit the touchpad to see how other people spent the day

If there's a social link available to do it shows on the area select screen as a speech bubble type thing with a blue door. Whether it'll show up for ones you haven't started yet I don't know, but if it's anything like the other games they're almost impossible to miss anyway.

first of all please don't use IGN as a reputable source for literally anything. "use a notebook" uh no you do not need a loving journal to play this game. as others have said there is really not that much minmaxing of anything. you need to pick the activity you do after school on weekdays and there's a set number of weeks before a "failstate" but it is extremely hard to gently caress yourself over if you do even a day or 2 of dungeon activity. also yes it is impossible to max out EVERYTHING in one playthrough but imo that's fine and seems insane to replay a 70 hour or more game multiple times in a short timespan. much like Persona 4 there are some extra things you get access to on a new game + but you're not really missing out on anything mindblowing. just pick the links you want to max out and don't focus on the ones you dislike.

I know about the blue door for existing Links, I was only worried about missing new ones, and just in general if I had to do a lap around town every day. I did that in P4 and it wasn't fun.

I've mostly settled on streaming whatever missing content instead of replaying 80+ hours of a game just to catch a few extra scenes It's a good middle ground that respects my limited time while letting me not feel like I missed out on content I am also addicted to the feeling of starting a fresh, new game (the first few hours of a new game basically) so replaying games is a tough sell when I know there is a better high to be chased elsewhere

It's like destroying me. I'm at 50 hours in Yakuza 0 and not even halfway through the main plot, 30 hours in ME:A and maybe 1/4 through the main game, I've barely started Nier because of this, and I still have the last ~10 hours of Horizon to go Andrast posted:Do people seriously feel the need to see absolutely everything in a game?

Sure it makes me a little sad to think about how I still need to wrap up Witcher 3 or DQ8, but at the same time I've played enough of them to have "experienced them" and following my whims is overall a more satisfying way to enjoy my free time. Plus it's not my fault most games are 80+ hour beasts these days Oh poo poo I do want to go back and beat Hollow Knight though, such a meaty and lovingly-crafted metroidvania
