I also thought the difficulty fell off really fast after the first dungeon. I think like the third was a little challenging again but the rest was pretty easy

P5 has a ton of style and charm IMO but the plot is a mess and really kinda fucks itself up thematically (again except for the Royal chapter) The core Phantom Thief concept is great and a couple of the dungeon storylines are pretty good, too. Soundtrack is top tier, combat is great, too. Though I'd also agree it's too easy, and Royal only made it easier with the exception of one huge difficulty spike boss in the 5th dungeon. I still found the core mechanics a lot of fun to play with but yeah it's hard to ever be in any danger of a game over once you have even a basic idea of how to play. Someone else earlier posted that 3 has the best story, 4 the best cast, and 5 the best gameplay and I'd agree with that

Fungah! posted:my biggest problem wth persona 5 other thn all the other stuff people say is the ending. whole game the theme is ITS TIME FOR KIDS TO TAKE OVER THE FUTURE AND DESTROY lovely ADULTS nd then the ending is you kids did enough, now its time for the adults you spent 100+ hours tryin to tear down to do their work. felt like a big wet fart, plus all the other stuff people say about how none of th bad guys other than kamoshida are any kind of interesting, all the slinks suck rear end, etc. its got the best mechanics in persona and great style/soundtracjk but the writing just isnt fuckin there and it sucks rear end!! the bad guy politician is like they knew they needed a politician villain but didn't want it to be specific so he's actually bad because he got joker expelled last year lol the bad guy of the extra rerelease chapter is kind of cool where the game isn't really even explicit that he's actually doing anything wrong, and you can even side with him and get an alternate ending which I always love

Royal made it easier by adding new mechanics that make the player more powerful but not really buffing enemies to match, with the exception of the 5th dungeon boss who is a huge difficulty spike (and a lot easier on Merciless due to a quirk of the mechanics) I don't really remember my vanilla playthrough that well difficulty-wise, I think I did wipe on a few bosses on hard then, and the occasional encounter that just goes sideways instantly Feels Villeneuve posted:the bad guy of the extra rerelease chapter is kind of cool where the game isn't really even explicit that he's actually doing anything wrong, and you can even side with him and get an alternate ending which I always love The extra chapter is cool because the conflict feels a lot more personal and I think that's what ties together all of the dungeon plotlines that I think are actually good (the first dungeon, Futaba's dungeon, and the Royal one). They're all really personal for the characters and have antagonists who really stand out on a thematic level

That one nearly got the game calmly placed in a sock drawer for me lol

I hope the long wait for SMTV PC is because they’re making SMTV++. I could buy it on Switch but I’ve held out this long, so

It's legitimately the only difficult encounter in the whole game but it's in a really bullshit way.

i think ive said this before but 5 would be 100x better if it had made akechi the actual fuckin villain. phantom thief/master detective stuff is way better if they're actually goin against each other and they basically dont except for the one stupid chapter. tie all the smaller villains except kamoshida to akechi somehow, like he's in charge of this big villainous org to take over japan where the painter provides the money and taking him down clues the villains in to you, the yakuza guy does the muscle, the politician is super corrupt and working for akechi instead of being a boring dude. final palace is akechi's palace where he's actively fuckin with you while you infiltrate it, then when you win yaldabaoth does his thing, then th ending is your friends bust you out of jail and you're on the run. idk.

Chuck Buried Treasure posted:Is the fifth dungeon boss Haru's dad? That one nearly got the game calmly placed in a sock drawer for me lol Yeah that's the one, insane difficulty spike. He's actually a lot easier on Merciless because Merciless makes hitting weaknesses do way more damage, so it's a lot easier to wipe out all the waves of adds instantly without really making the rest of the fight any more dangerous.

re: akechi this is a big spoiler for the extra chapter but my actual favorite part is there's a segment where akechi is in the navigator role and despite this lasting for like 15 minutes they bothered to record an entire set of nav lines for him doing his twisted psycho path voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR79V9DCkVk

5's theme was always going to end up shooting itself in the foot because Japanese creators can't write anything about rebelling or taking down the system without concluding that you need to grow out of thos and become a salaryman I tried 3 back not long after it came out when everyone was raving about it and I really did not like it at all, I really hating not having control of the party members which I know is resolved in P3P and also I was a self-conscious little freak who thought it was "too anime" or whatever. I'll probably try 4 at some point

Mine actually fixed themselves entirely after like a year of drowning them in wd-40 every few months. one of mine stopped working completely last week, which I've been expecting since I carefully and flawlessly poured an entire bottle of cider into it last year, but I wasn't sure why it had finally bitten the dust so I left it alone for 48 hours then held the shoulder buttons for 10 seconds on a whim and now it works 100% fine

i used to do that with my old consoles back in the day since I was poor, replaced my broken ps2 by pretending it was a gift from a family member at Walmart, just ignore that the back of my box has launch titles on it.

one time I ordered a PC case and Amazon sent me two, so I sent one back and explained that I'd only ordered and paid for one, and they refunded me twice so essentially they paid me to take a PC case. Overworked Amazon warehouse guys ftw
