>the most accomplished, accessible, precocious modern JRPG out there >Whether you’re a series fan, a JRPG evangelist or a total turn-based newcomer, this is an essential play. Persona 5 is packed with stuff to do, expertly put together and exquisite to the last pixel. An unabashed masterpiece.

Charles Sanchez
I see. You enjoy a slow paced game. I don't think your heart could handle fast paced ARPG combat anyway. Maybe it's due to your old age from all those old school turn based RPG's. XD XD
Christopher Jones
Never played a persona game give me 5 good reasons why I should give a shit about this game
Jackson Wright
kys yourself fgt
Blake Parker
it has good characters it has good story it has good dungeons it has good bosses it has good music
Isaiah Rogers
comfy x5
Andrew Gomez
End yourself.
Luis Hall
Yes. >fast paced ARPG combat There's not a single ARPG which has good combat or even remotely fast paced combat. ARPGs are for fags who can't handle neither pure action or rpg games. Now get out.
Andrew Miller
cute girls fun gameplay those are the only reasons you need
Ethan Nelson
Good dungeons unlike previous games. Good gameplay that's closer to mainline. Good atmosphere. Good soundtrack. Good characters.
Owen Brown
do whatever you want faggot, see if I care
Austin Davis
You
Asher Martinez
You really shouldn't. It's mediocre at best. Play a mainline SMT or another series if you want a good jrpg
Jacob Nguyen
You shouldn't, fuck off.
Leo Bell
>mainline SMT >when only two of them are genuinely good opinion discarded
Chase Reyes
>Zelda killer
It's already out
Lincoln Thompson
Sup Forums hates sony niggers, not persona
Henry Flores

Matthew Cooper
Now watch how they port this to the switch
Josiah Howard
>t. user who hasn't played p5 >t. user who thinks all SMT games are good just because nocturne and SJ were
Nolan King
Yeah man, I know your like forty something now but those good ol turn based days are dead. You probably tried an ARPG but it was just too much for your heart and caused you high blood pressure. Sorry. XD XD
Parker Campbell
Will PS3 version be good enough? I don't have a PS4.
Caleb Martin
Nier: Automata is at most a 6/10 game.
Connor Foster
yes
Kevin Rodriguez
Zelda is a 7.6 and shills gave it a 98. Your point?
Jordan Thomas
Which two?
Nathaniel Parker
Explain please. How are the characters, dungeons, etc good?
Jace Green
>zelda killer they aren't even the same genre nor are they releasing near each other please don't do that
Adrian Collins
Is Automata actually above average? I feel like people taking anything made by Taro and actually giving it a score above 7/10 are just fucking with me.
Brody Cook
Explain how it's mediocre
Robert Turner
@370036594 please kill yourself ASAP
Charles Lewis
>zelda killer >half a year older than zelda
Oliver Howard
Post girls as proof
Landon Thomas
II and Strange Journey. Nocturne is babby's first SMT.
Jeremiah Clark
Why would I play P5 when its going to be the same shit as 3 and 4. Good music, barebones gameplay, and a lot of VN bullshit, which is the best part of the game. The music was really good, though, so there's that.
Michael Bell
...
Jack Myers
It's the best Taro game to come out. It's not a 7/10.
Literally the only people who think this are Nintendo fanboys. There's a ton of stuff to do, multiple playable characters, interesting combat, best taro story, 60fps and atmosphere and soundtrack are some of the best. It deserves the score it got
Ethan Morgan
People who still play turn based.
Easton Roberts
>accessible
This is a code word for casual. P3 and P4 already had shitty easy boring combat and if this the MOST accessible then its worse than those games.
Dropped.
Jace Sullivan
Persona invented social links. I can't wait to bang hot girls! BOOM!
Dylan Diaz
Good taste, but I really liked IV, too.
Owen Diaz
You're delusional.
Carson Myers
dropped
Carter Roberts
>Why would I play P5 when its going to be the same shit as 3 and 4. >barebones gameplay Right here's your problem. P5's gameplay is a far larger part of the game, and rightfully so since the dungeons got a complete overhaul and combat was significantly revamped too. Gone are the procedurally generated bland hallways, and instead there are massive, varied dungeons with puzzles and exploration that are huge.
Jacob Brown
>There's a ton of stuff to do, You can fight and fish. Wow.
>multiple playable characters 2B, A2 and 9S. Wow.
>interesting combat lol no it's standard platinum
>best taro story, Taro can't write and his stories suck, only 12 year olds like his edgelord stories with shitty writing
Christopher Gutierrez
Post >yfw Persona gets a 99 on Metacritic
Colton Rodriguez
>mfw it falls below 88
Jordan Evans
>nierfags shitting up personathreads
Once again proving that you're the worst fanbase. Go cry about your shitty game with shitty reviews.
Kevin Taylor
Keep the bait coming!
Henry Morgan
>This is a code word for casual. P3 and P4 already had shitty easy boring combat and if this the MOST accessible then its worse than those games.
It's actually not as accessible. The dungeons in Persona 5 are actually a lot more challenging this time around due to having actual puzzles to do, and actual traps to avoid due to actually being properly designed this time around. The Persona 3 and Persona 4 dungeons for the most part, just had random floors.
John Jackson
I wish I could have taken screenshots of my playthrough, I hate the share function block shit.
Owen Cook
Huh, I'll buy it in a sale then.
Ethan Mitchell
So mad you can't even refute what I said.

P5 is genuinely accessible in that it does a great job of explaining its mechanics in a non-daunting way to newcomers, but it's not casual or toned down in the slightest. On the contrary, P5's dungeons are far more complex than any other series entry, and the combat has plenty of new mechanics that significantly change it up. Baton Touch brings the One More system to the point where it's essentially Press Turn, enemy AI now far more frequently targets weaknesses and exploits the Technical System, the Harder difficulty is genuinely harder and not just the "you get less EXP" difficulty, and the game punishes you for any mistakes you make if you're playing on Normal or Hard (or Challenge). Guns are back, but now more complex - requiring ammunition, so you have to be mindful of that in addition to SP and HP, Demon Negotiation is back and replaces the archaic recruitment systems of P3 and P4, co-ops (social links) now actually serve a gameplay purpose, with each of them adding new mechanics to the game that make a tonne of difference, etc. It takes every element of the past titles that was bad and completely changes them, and takes the elements that were lacking and gives them the expansion they needed. Everything is more fleshed out - so calling it casual when it is more complex than any other game in the series is just insulting.
Jordan Ross
Do the persona games use turn based combat? It's pretty much the one thing that'll determine if I get the game or not
Josiah Rodriguez
No
Levi Perez
Yes they do. Turn based gameplay really get your adrenaline going like nothing else. -__- XD XD
Jeremiah Richardson
Is the gameplay regularly turn based?
Michael Russell
What do you mean?
All you need to know is that combat is turn-based.
John Collins
Somebody is lying
Noah Taylor
You do know you can enjoy both turn-based RPGs and ARPGs right? This is coming from someone who loves Persona 4, Nier Automata and the Souls series
I'll play it when it comes out on Switch, not gonna buy a black toaster with no games.
Lucas Reed
Oh the irony
Evan Torres
Wow that looks really stylish. Worried the flashing menus will get in the way of gameplay though. And I'm not too big a fan of turn based gameplay anyway
Oliver Smith
The irony
Sebastian Thomas
at least put effort in your bait
Charles Young
It's not bait. Playstation doesn't have any games worth playing anymore, and those that I like either come to Ninty or PC.
Aiden Young
Reminder that P5 is Sony exclusive.
Reminder that the new SMT is coming to both Switch and PS4.
Lucas Wood
Me neither, bu this does look convincing enough. I like RPG's so i'm hoping this will be fun.
Brandon Taylor
They're not a problem. The times where the menus crowd the screen are the times when you don't have anything else to focus on. Other than that, they get out of your way while still looking good. Something that surprised me was how efficient the menus are, despite their flashiness, they're incredibly fast to navigate and combat flies by incredibly quickly.
Xavier Lee
I'd get it but I don't have a ps4. Hope it comes to PC. Does anybody know if this'll come to PC down the line?
