I feel like I'm bad at video games but I got stuck early on in Cyber Shadow where there's junk cubes falling down in two columns and you have to jump from column to column as they fall but instead I jump in exactly the way that the cubes fall on my head and I die

grieving for Gandalf posted:I don't think I could ever play Persona 5 again. by the time I finished, I was utterly exhausted with it and I didn't think it made good on the potential of like any of its story beats or character beats. very disappointing for me I think a lot of people around here felt that way but for some reason when I finished the game back in 2017, I still wanted more. I don't know why I had such a different reaction to it but I really loved it. The pacing took a cliff dive around the big villain reveal but I thought it recovered by the end and had a pretty great finish. I was really skeptical of Royal because its additional content happens after the final boss of vanilla P5 (as opposed to P4G, where the additional content happens in the gap of time between Christmas and the true final boss in P4, leaving the original final boss and ending the same) and I really didn't want them to change the ending. I'm ultimately glad they did, though, because I think what they did was ultimately a more interesting and thematic conflict to end the game on than what the original had.

Persona 5 has me sort of spoiled when it comes to how smooth and snappy the combat feels, and I'm wondering what other JRPGs I might have missed that manage to pull that off. Anyone have any recommendations?

On the one hand, P3 FES did, but P3 FES didn't add nearly as much content to the base game as Royal does to P5--most of FES's actual new content is a separate mode. I can understand Atlus wanting Royal to be treated as a separate new game. At the same time, they also made it easier to level up confidants (every meeting now has a phone call afterwards where you can get additional points) and max out social stats (Morgana doesn't make you go to sleep anymore so you can read/study/etc. a lot more often) to the point that it's way easier to max everything than vanilla P5. So they might as well have at least let you carry over your social stats. So I dunno. I guess you'd end up with nothing to do for a ton of evenings then? At least with P4G it's easy to understand why you can't carry over a save--it never came out on the PS2 to begin with.

Harrow posted:Persona 5 makes a few small changes to Persona combat (and one big one) and they add up to make it an absolute joy to play. the one thing i kind of miss is the card stuff lol i like they added negotiations from the mainline but also... i like the card minigame... Real hurthling! posted:i hope smt5 comes out and changes things up. i feel like the press turn system just makes me build all my demons into rainbows of every element type so that i can just press turn over and over no matter what pops up and thats kinda boring idk. they should keep press turn which owns and concentrate on making something thats more interesting than 4.

I get it from their standpoint of wanting it to seem the most like something that's worthy of another $60 if you owned the first release but it's pretty ridiculous (because it's not)

smt4 overplayed its hand with the tech stuff being foreshadowed extremely early, but that was also the only thing that got me to keep playing it, the promise of escaping fantasy/medieval land, and then it was tokyo but not as cool as nocturne and also the game has taken a generational leap back for the 3ds and half the sprites are drawn by a fifth grader for some reason and i stopped playing.

I will need to look for it again but there was an interesting video on game battle themes that talked about how the smt iv osts basically go from 0-100 to help encourage the aggressive style of play they are based on.

Is there something this can do that a Wii U, PSP or 3DS can't? imo, if you already have a few hacked handhelds, then you probably wouldn't gain much out of getting another. I have a few of the Linux based ones and they are kind of a pain to keep updated because a lot of the community and devs, again imo, fracture for the next one to come along. Different devices have been releasing rapid fire over the last year or so and while exciting, there's always a new one around the corner.

yeah exactly, it was exactly long enough for me to not drop off bcos i dont like those kind of settings when genuine, but i also feel like keeping it really close to the chest and doing a big reveal wouldve been really good. def give it props for it tho, really good intro bait and switch.

If you wait long enough, it still might get ported eventually. No one expected P4G to ever come to PC either.

There are supposedly going to be some big Persona announcements this year for the series's 25th anniversary. It's possible that will include PC ports for like P5R or maybe even Persona 3 or things like that. But it's hard to say right now.

My single biggest wishlist item for the Persona 25th anniversary thing is to somehow get an English release for Persona 2: Eternal Punishment PSP, maybe in the form of a PC/modern console port of the Persona 2 duology. I know I can play it in English with the PS1 version but I dunno, I want to be able to play through both halves with the PSP version's updates/updated translation This will not happen but I wish it would

Nate RFB posted:I personally have always been more positive on Default's story more than most people I feel; yeah there are some genuine criticisms it deserves for both the second half structure and ending, but there was an emotional core to the cast (especially the Asterisks) that I felt was pretty much completely lost in Second. It felt like a genuine attempt to make a SNES era FF plot and flesh it out with some modern writing touches so it felt very comfortable. I think the thing I hated most about Second was how awkwardly they shoehorned in the ending stinger of Default.

What I'd like to see repeated in an SMT game would be Digital Devil Saga 2's "joint attack" system, or whatever they called it. Basically, if you had certain abilities on all your characters, you could use all their turns at the same time to apply a combined effect of a higher tier. Get enough debuffs on each character and you can group-cast Debilitate, for example. Since the game used press-turn and you couldn't go into the negatives, this was a really useful way to get the most out of a leftover turn and do some real damage. It also gave some tactical complexity to your loadout because it didn't just matter how good each ability was on its own, but also what it could give you when combined with others.

Reading about the Great Bucatini Shortage of 2020 and howling at the article:https://www.grubstreet.com/2020/12/2020-bucatini-shortage-investigation.html posted:As I waited impatiently for the FDA’s FOIA reply, I got another call from Carl from the NPA, who blew my mind with a tale that sounded so Coen brothers–y I could not believe it. The reason behind De Cecco’s fall from FDA grace, he said, could potentially be traced all the way back to the early 1900s and the beginning of what was once called the “National Association of Macaroni and Noodle Manufacturers of America.”

Did they just give the likelihood of their game being released in any given month in the form of a Gaussian distribution? That's novel.
