N64 sticks are terrible, our practice space has four of them and we fight over the green one when we play Mario Kart or w/e bc it's the only one where the analog stick doesn't feel weird or hosed up somehow. There was a fifth one but the pad on top of the stick completely broke off

From what I've read Carcassonne sounds like a pretty bad version of the game. It's too bad because the last gen version of the game isn't that great either.

I have a DualShock from 1998 that still works fine and I still use on my PC with an adapter. JoyCons are uniquely bad because they are so low profile.

Which is wild, because I remember playing a version on an iPhone 5 and it was pretty flawless.

I also remember the Catan around that same time being bad for solo, because the AI would trade with itself but I could never get the AI to trade with me without making it crazy unbalanced against myself.

A lot of people here just don't like persona 5, that's why you're going to see a lot of support for a game 5k people played.

The 360 version is functional (and backwards compatible) but after every game it spends forever tallying the score and it's unskippable.

Weird. 5 had issues, but they weren't exactly any different from the ones I had with 3 and 4. And all were certified Good Games.

5 is the best gameplay wise but far and away the weakest in terms of story and characters. It starts off really strong and is a very, very gradual slide into disappointment. Those first 40 hours are superb though. Gameplay is great all the way through.

The iOS version of Carcassonne is one of the most polished mobile board game conversions out there, which is even more impressive because it was also one of the first. Unfortunately all of the other versions are completely unrelated.

If you like playing Persona but burn out on them about 25-30 hours in then you’ll probably like it. It’s kind of shallow compared to both games it draws from and the central conceit is the whole disposable Asian pop star scene.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions has a generally more happy outlook for the characters, more akin to the Persona 4 aesthetic. The battle system basically replaced the SMT physical attack types with the Fire Emblem weapon types and called it a day. Otherwise you've got a Persona in the form of a Fire Emblem character and are taking on people possessed by the spirit of an evil Fire Emblem character who just so happens to be the boss for the job you're sent out on.

Yeah, I dunno how Atlus can get SMTV out by the end of 2020, what with all the Persona 5 spinoffs they're making, both announced and unannounced, for the next ten years.

TMS is a fun Atlus one-off, but I wouldn't really compare it to Persona beyond the surface level of the premise. It's entirely a small-scale, hub+dungeons JRPG without any social or calendar elements.

I think developers assume board games don't need much more than a basic implementation of the game and some pretty graphics. Lots of em seem to have a terrible interface and a poor understanding of mechanics.

I think it's called "buying a controller from any other company" my PS4 controller from 2015 doesn't drift. My 360 sticks from 2006 don't drift. Yet the Joycon I've had less than a year? It drifts

This is why you never play a base Persona. After FES and Golden, Royal was always just a matter of time.

P5 isn't available on Switch, so it'd be like buying a new game for a system that hasn't had it yet.

If you buy P5R on PS4, you can't even transfer your save. It makes you play the game again, from scratch, and doesn't give you enough content to justify it not just being DLC.

If only there wasn't precedent with Atlas doing that exact thing with Persona 3 anyone buying a Persona game at launch knows what they're doing to themselves
