If you jump into a door in any Megaman game the screenscroll carries you into the next room while you're still in midair. Now he just stops dead in his tracks. Tragedy.

I played the WiiU Mario Party at PAX to kill an hour with my friends at the end of one of the days and the fact that games are down to half an hour instead of being three hour slogs is amazing. If the price of that is the car then so be it.

If a Mario party doesn’t last at least two hours and result in everybody in the room hating each other, that Mario Party failed in its goal

Someone earlier did say it was the King, not his son, so you're reading is still all good and stuff.

Been playing Dragon Quest XI all day and this game is incredibly long. When you think you're nearing the end, a 180 happens on the story and DQXI's story goes super weird and part 2 is just as long. Hoping to finish this weekend so I can start on Shadow of the Tomb Raider when that releases next week.

the new fortnite mode is kinda cool, its like battle royale CTF. there's 4 jewels that spawn on the outside of the circle and 4 vans near the inside, and to win you just have to bring one to the other, but its still battle royale so there's 96 other players watching you do this and setting up ambushes and stuff

I'm really enjoying Persona 5, but I've been checking a couple of guides for what I should do day-to-day and I'm worried that I'm behind where I should be. How strict is the game about maxing out your social links and your 5 stats (guts, knowledge, etc) before the end of the game? I don't wanna miss any cool story bits, I'm really liking the characters a lot.

I'm actually wondering this as well. I kinda want to start a new playthrough of Persona 5 because my first playthrough I didn't bother with the social links really.

I found it easier to max all the S. Links than previous titles (getting far in the Fortune link goes a long way), but maxing all of the social stats was a huge pain in the rear end and took far longer than I remember in other games.

I did not follow a guide and maxed out all but one stat and two confidants. The only thing that got in the way was not knowing the stat gates for some of the later characters, otherwise I probably could have gotten them all.

This did require maximizing the Fortune confidant's booster abilities every single available time though

Without a strict guide you'll probably miss out maxing one or two but not even by much. I couldn't finish the gun guy or Haru but was like level 7 in both.

Ah, cool! Thanks for all the tips guys. There's a couple characters I just don't give a single poo poo about (Ryuiji, Mishima) so I won't focus on them as much, but I just don't wanna feel like I'm under the gun.

You want to put some focus on Ryuiji due to a certain late rank only activating on certain days. Out of curiosity how far are you into the game and what are your social stats?

Don't brush off Mishima because his support ability keeps your entire party evenly leveled.

Maxing the fortune teller and your teacher is the easiest way to ensure you can max out everyone else. Their abilities are good.

When I meant social stats I meant things like courage.
Anyway as a general advice for anyone in the thread,
Make sure to have as much high quality fertilizer as possible and keep your plant healthy for a boost to kindness.
Go to the baths on Mondays and Thursdays for charisma.
Only go to Mementos when you have three or four missions at minimum.
Don't worry about getting Platinum in one run as it is literally impossible.

Mishima is the fansite guy, Yusuke is the artist.
