Well like, God of War and Yakuza 6 exist. Honorable mentions to PC Monster Hunter, Hitman 2, and DBFZ. Sure some of these are niche but like, there are some solid gems. Even RDR2 is a ymmv thing that people like.

fluffyDeathbringer posted:So after all this thread reading, I think my feelings on Persona 5 can be summed up as "I love Persona 5! Shame about all the Persona 5 in it, though." I played through Persona 5 and really enjoy it and when I look back there are so many parts of it that have issues. The thread has mostly focused on story issues, but the balance of all of the parts of the game is also pretty bad. Like, for gaining social stats, there are so many things you can do - some stuff has minigames, some takes multiple days, some has limited use, etc, but really if you want stats the best options are trivial and repeatable. Diner on a rainy day is just better. And as we’ve seen at the end of the game you just... run out of things to do. Cap all social stats and confidants and the rest of your days are gonna be trophy hunting or the gym. And then there’s sp adhesive 3 breaking the game, and the fact that the game would clearly be more fun if you did social stuff between palace visits but instead the game incentivizes you to binge the whole palace in one go and then do social stuff until the next palace unlocks (and Mementos is also roughly a once per new palace thing, since that’s when new missions unlock in it and it’s otherwise pointless). Confidant benefits are also just... all over the place. Chihiya offers some of the best benefits and some of the worst. Ohya does nothing (and could be actively bad if you wanted to farm treasure demons in palaces, but why bother?). Rank 10 strength straight up breaks the game - I went into the endgame with multiple level 90ish personas. The cost is really goofy, it’s a ton for a persona 1 level over you and not actually that much more for a persona 40 levels over you. Basically Persona 5 is a bunch of poorly thought out parts that somehow form an entertaining whole. It’s beautifully stylized and has some awesome music and somehow despite itself it’s fun. Speaking of music, Last surprise is a really great track but over the course of the game you’ll hear the first 10 seconds of it, I dunno, hundreds of times. Normal enemy fights could have used some music variety. Qrr fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Dec 7, 2018 |

You can go a long way on a really, really strong core idea (stylish magic thieves steal the hearts of criminals and lawless assholes, forcing them to confess) even with all the rough bits.

Haifisch posted:And to be fair, it's easier to overlook the bad stuff when you're playing it instead of reading it(or being the poor bastard who has to LP it). Yeah. Like, what I remember for P5 off the top of my head are the big moments - like I still think Makoto's Awakening is amazing - but that also means I don't remember endless team meetings and odd, clunky translation patches. cdyoung posted:The only problem I have with this AU is that Ann and Shiho didn't have to be a lesbian couple, like at all. A lot of fan stuff seems to pair Ann and Ryuji together, which is interesting as I don't think that's the case for the other games' equivalents.

(Spend all of your SP in exchange for enough damage to one shot anything* sounds almost like a fair trade, except that one of the required persona learns Victory Cry. Which restores your HP and SP to full after every battle. Funny enough, the bonus boss in Persona 2: Eternal Punishment *NULLS* this and only this fusion spell and then casts it back at you.

It's an unnecessary complication that has no point or relevance to either character. Ann cared about Shiho because they were friends and that was it. They could have been Hetro room mates, Hetro life partners or anything that doesn't have to be a forced same sex couple.

I can definitely see why people ship them and not because it's 'making them lesbians for the sake of having lesbians in my AU'. They have a nice dynamic and if the artist wishes to interpret it as romantic or ships them because they like it, then who cares?

having a lesbian couple just to have a lesbian couple is an unambiguously Good Thing. normalizing queer relationships is a Good Thing. saying they should be straight because you think it would be 'forced' otherwise is your homophobia showing

Their comment also kind of reminds me of this one civ-like game where gamers were complaining that there were too many woman generals in it and that they weren't sexist, but they didn't like that being shoved in their faces.

It was implied a lot through the series but they couldn't Just Say It or Nick would have shitcanned them. They threw it in at the last second as the equivalent of throwing the double bird to your boss while you back-flip out a window onto the speeding train that is your getaway.
