I got persona 5 because it was $13 and loved it

So i got a PSP and P4golden and hoo boy this is a much rougher game mechanically. I’m only like 4 hours in, and I do appreciate how much more quickly the game lets you actually start playing.

Are all the dungeons effectively mementos? This kinda sucks.

The dungeons are objectively worse, the fight mechanics are simpler, and the artistic style is not as insanely developed as Persona 5.

That being said - the charisma and interaction of the party characters, the music, and the feel of small-town Inaba are all excellent and worth playing the game for.

A trailer came out for Persona 5 Scramble, and it's a lot more expansive than I was expecting.

FWIW, your mileage may vary on all that. Persona 4 is my least favorite game of 2-5.

That looks significantly better than I was expecting, though I can’t tell how much of that is because my expectations were pretty low. I thought it was just going to be a Warriors type game without any of the wandering around and whatnot.

I think that trailer has basically removed all the issues I had with the idea of Scamble. It’s more like the sequel I wanted to see than just a Dynasty Warriors clone.

Oh it's coming to PS4? For some reason I thought it was a Switch exclusive this whole time. I've never been too fond of the genre-hopping the spinoffs do, mostly because I don't care about rhythm or fighting games but this looks like something I could play. Cool.

I was 100% expecting a brainless musou with a lazy P5 paintjob and I was still excited about it. I'm loving thrilled that it looks like they're actually putting some effort in. Also thrilled to see a new sojiro cutscene for my top 5 anime dads of all time mega edit.

The Switch version does seem to be what gets talked about the most, but far as I can tell it's definitely coming to the PS4.

I think the Switch version just comes up the most because of the baffling desicion to only port P5S to the Switch instead of doing that and P5R. Which is still mind boggling, like, the Switch is the perfect console for Persona and there's never been a statement for why they aren't doing it.

I actually don’t like my switch that much these days but it would work really well with letting me absentmindedly hit next during those giant stretches where there’s nothing but giant blocks of (usually repetitive) dialogue after a palace while I do something else.

P5R is a rerelease of a PS3 game with some extra content, there’s no way on earth the Switch couldn’t run it

Pretty sure it's this. The fact that they limited P4G to Sony's worst selling device ever shows that Atlus is just fine with whatever bone Sony throws at them. A port of the first 5 Persona games to Switch (best version only, like P3FES and P4G, English PSP versions of both P2 games) would make good sense and would be a system purchase for me.

Twitter's been catching fire etc with chuds decrying Sony having some sort of censorship policy or something that cesirs explicit content or something. The OAG guy who made the "boner culture" tweet has been wanting the PS5 to crash because supposedly Sony censors and the Switch doesn't, so all hail Nintendo for loli or whatever

I don't know all the details but these are the types that screech about SJWs ruining porno visual novels so I default to Playstation games if its feasible.

There are other factors like the controller -- I don't like the Switch's button layout and the ps4 controller feels more intuitive. But I like supporting Sony with my money if makes the right people angry.

yes the switch is the new console for perverts because sony started enforcing content guidelines and nintendo does not (for third parties). probably the example of this nearest to normalcy is the switch release of doa xtreme volleyball has hornier swimsuits that they didn't put in the new ps4 version. but given the option i would always recommend buying multiplat games on sony rn for better performance and forward compatibility with 4k and hdr

Sony has adopted stricter content policies for games appearing on their systems that primarily appear to matter to Japanese games even in Japan.

The current theory is that it's due to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics where a LOT of Japanese companies have been toning down their more explicit media (they've even banned selling porn in convenience stores which had been allowed since the start of the industry there,) but the chud line is that because Sony HQ is in California it has to be the evil SJWs at work.

EDIT: Sony is, of course, a HUGE Olympic sponsor and, while Nintendo has their hand in it too, I doubt Nintendo will be represented by anything except Pokemon, Mario and Zelda (and maybe Splatoon as it's HUGE there.)

It amuses me to boost sales :v: And I meant what I said about the controller, I'm not a huge fan of the Switch's buttons, the layout feels unintuitive to me so it isn't my go to console.
