Regarding the P4 stuff - IMO P5 is much worse because the game was made during a time when the gay "jokes" were far less common/accepted. It has fewer of them, but the stuff with the pair of gay men hitting on Ryuji is at least as bad as anything in P4, despite that game coming out in 2016.

i got this lil gameboy lookin emulator thing that has every nes game known to man installed on it. i’ve got like 5 copies of hitler’s resurrection on that bad boy

the gameboy thing is called the miyoo mini plus and it absolutely owns. highly recommend if you want to play some retro games on a handheld. goes all the way to the psx.

It really is great. In fact, everyone should own a console like it.

starship troopers extermination is super rough around the edges and there isn’t much content but if they develop it out it could be a really fun brainless L4D-but-bigger like. it technically has the same gameplay goals as DRG in the first half of matches (move around the map and initiate + guard resource extraction) but afaik the second half, where the team uses those resources to build a kind of Natural Selection feeling base and defend it for 5 minutes against a big swarm, isn’t, though I haven’t played much DRG as it just wasn’t quite my thing.

anyways that phase is pretty fun, there are basic walls and bunkers, big mounted machine guns, and automatic wall guns. players build the little base so it’s distinct every time. the devs obviously took stuff from both the book and the extended universe of the sequel movies (which aren’t as awful as they should be, 2 is garbage but 3 has a bunch of fun satirical SyFy original attempts to elucidate on the character of governance in the Federation) so there are a decent variety of bugs to fight. I actually really appreciate they added something analogous to the worker bugs (little assholes who accompany warriors, in the books they look similar but are harmless and used as distractions) and the warrior bugs (bugs with murderous biological laser beams that could cut through power armor) from the book, along with some gigantic silly ones from the other media that actually look really cool. I dig the tiger stripe behemoth one it’s like a very high quality Tyrannid design

it kinda clicked during extraction phase when the whole team was rushing to the lander and an extremely well manifested mantling animation brought me over a ledge where there were a bunch of teammates running past an exploding plasma artillery bug and federation music was blasting. unfortunately the gun play feels weirdly floaty and inconsequential, there are like six weapons, and there’s a latency problem (or just performance concession?) that makes bug animations simple/not present in huge scrums, but that’s the kinda stuff I expect from an EA game still

I probably wouldn’t recommend it at all if you’re not a fan of Starship Troopers as a franchise since it is objectively a worse version of the other entries in this genre but I’m glad someone finally tried to make this specific game

yeah I can see some of the small frustrations really accumulating and it’s like 100% sure they’ll fix them and then some in the next few months. it’ll probably feel considerably different once all the qol stuff like visual triangles and egregious (vector) issues are balanced out

that being said I’m weirdly hooked and want to unlock every weapon. got my KD up to 1.84 too, feel closer than ever to that 2.0

also Persona 4 takes place out in the sticks and is about critical thought and the impact media has on a society, which is mostly good stuff and it mostly lands even if it overlooks this stuff

Persona 5 though is exactly about challenging the levers of power, especially by and for society's subaltern victims, and the casual homophobia is directly in conflict with the game's entire purpose. though it's just one way the game absolutrly mangles it's material, i guess

P5 does not stick the landing esp. since the natural conclusion of the story should be "let us tear down the cruel structures of power" and not what it really is, "let's buy into the system but this time it'll be good"

Japanese games and media are extremely square a lot of the time.

Like how they keep making shows about being in school (square) and the kids with the highest exam scores are the coolest kids (hypercube)

I’d say it feels like it’s worth the $20 it is on sale but like, just barely, it feels like a licensed game you’d pull out of a bin in front of EB games on mega clearance but then it turns out to be kinda good and memorable despite the weirdness like Septerra Core or something
