PREY OR PERSONA?

I need help deciding between prey and persona 5 i just got money for one game, not that much free time and after the ME andromeda fiasco i want to be sure i buy a good game.

Persona 5

buy persona pirate prey

well, if you dont have that much free time then persona is probably gonna last you a few months

You obviously need to be spoon fed after buying ME Andromeda.

Persona 5

Actually it was a pretty dumb decision, i just bought it because liked the original trilogy, i didnt even saw the trailers.

You'll play persona 5 for longer and right now Prey is suffering from some serious game breaking bug at the moment.

persona 5 will literally give you 10 times more playtime for even a basic/non completionist run

Persona 5 is just way too long.

Would you play Prey on PS4? If so I'd go for Persona

I like Prey quite a bit but the console experience is terrible

Only thing that makes it worse than pc is graphics and load times.

I have heard more people on Pc having problems with the game than my friends and I on our Ps4s.

so is the choice between Prey on PC vs. P5 on PS4? because if its Prey on PS4 vs P5, then definitely P5, how the fuck do people play FPS games with a controller in this day and age

currently i only have a ps4, so yeah

It's the controller I can't stand. I played the demo on my PS4 (there isn't a PC demo) and I hated it

Though you're probably used to playing FPS games with a controller

How is this even a question?

>bought andromeda
I see, you are legitimately retarded.

So simply preference. To each their own.
>I played the demo
The demo makes the game looks like shit on any platform. they fucked that demo up.

>Though you're probably used to playing FPS games with a controller

I have gaming PC. My friends don't though. Normally gravitate to ps4 because of my friends and their want to exchange games.

>buy prey
pirate persona on ps3 if your smart or just watch a walktrough , all you do is press X in that game anyway

Do you like anime and turn based combat? If so, get Persona 5. Otherwise get Prey

Why would you buy prey? Persona is actually worth the money and the online features really make it more interesting.

Prey is just another boring singleplayer fps.

P5 is basically a casual visual novel that plays itself, Prey is a well crafted hommage to System Shock.

>P5 plays itself

hahaha. Don't listen to these retarded shills. P5 has a metacritic score of 93, prey has something like 80. One is goty contender, the other is another forgettable fps.

>b-b-but muh waifu

>the online features really make it more interesting

wut. i beat persona 5 a month ago and the only online features i remember are seeing the answers to class questions and seeing what people did during the day (a feature i used maybe once). i guess there was the online fusion thing too but i'd only ever use that for shit demons i didn't care about wasting

>Prey is just another boring singleplayer fps.
It's barely an FPS game. It's more survival horror than anything

Why are people comparing these games so often on this board? Seriously, fill me in because I have no fucking idea why you are comparing an exploration / immersive sim FPS / RPG to a JRPG.

They are completely different games for completely different people.

Even if Prey was 15 bucks and P5 was 90, P5 would be the better buy insofar as bang for your buck.

P5

Might as well use this thread

Just got P5, finished the first chapter/area/whatever

I feel like I'm losing so many days just with story progress and I can't even raise my skills, only knowledge is up one level. Am I getting too worried or did I fuck up already?

If someone has money for 1 game, then it's a valid question. Though it begs other questions, such as why were these two games in particular selected? Maybe there's a 3rd game OP isn't even aware of that should also be part of the consideration, like Nier Automata

We'd really need to know personal tastes as well

Its great to be able to see what other people did. Feels like being in a community. Definitely made the experience a big plus for me.

Persona 5. You will actually get your money's worth and then some.

I'm not much farther than you, but between reading, eating, and going to the bath house, I've raised everything except for Kindness (knowledge took forever, though).

How does a game being goty contender mean it doesn't play itself?

Its fun, but you have to admit its just casual SMT merged with a dating sim

Pirate persona on PS3 and buy prey. I played both. About 10 hours into Prey and 50 into Persona 5.

Prey is very obviously the better game. But I don't know what kind of person you are. I like RPGs with actual choice and consequence and deeper stories so I'm heavily biased towards Prey. Persona 5 is a good game but it's still not really outstanding and worse than Persona 3 but better than persona 4 so If you played that already you know what to expect in terms of quality.

Oh man, I really don't know if I should focus on rasing stuff first and then the actual relationships

That and maybe complete the palaces in less than 2-3 days, I took it to lightly in the first one

Tip: finish the Dungeon within the first week and spend the rest of the time just upgrading your stats chat up your friends and that is it.

It's really not a game to worry about stats all that much. Just imagine it like Pokemon a bit except you get skills or bonuses for talking and getting your level up with your friends.

Persona 5. Hands down.

I think that more accurately describes P4. If P4 is a novel the length of goosebumps, then P5 is a novel the length of LOTR. It's a dense fucking game.

Going off my P4 gameplay, I would say you're better focusing on raising your attributes, as those carry over into NG+.

I can't advance the Death girl without thoughness or Ann without kindness

You're too worried, the game is just starting. You get a lot more freedom to do more things as the game goes on. As long as you're doing something with your free time, you should be fine.

Death requires courage initially.

What bug

im in the same boat as you user, except i bought andromeda and i'm too poor to buy anything by myself loool

>ITT: Current state of Sup Forums

Almost all of the palaces can be played from infiltration through to calling card in one day. Use this to your advantage. Also, Temperance confidant is valuable once you have that unlocked.

Courage can be upgraded as with other things through interacting with freinds by leveling them up or by trying to go to the Diner next to the bookstore(which is so small even I did not notice until halfway through the game) or even reading books themselves those all help you level up stats.

You're missing the point. We're saying its easy

i beat this game and didn't have that many rank 10 confidants by the end because i spent so much time grinding social skills.

now i'm playing persona 3, which only has 3 social stats, and its mid august and i'm maxxed in everything but intelligence, which i'm 4/5 in. i feel like they put too much focus on that shit in p5 (might have started in p4, haven't played it)

at least p5 spreads the confidant availability out better, like all but one i've encountered so far in p3 has to be during the day. that's probably why my skills are so high, there's nothing to do at night except grind skills

>worse than Persona 3
This guy is a faggot, don't listen to him

Ah I see, well I'll just enjoy the game for now then,

I had to return a DVD like 4 days ago and I can't even stop to drop it due to the plot

So, my team daying they are tired doesn't really affect anything? I wnet through the first in like 5 days due to this, and running out of sp and having nothing to recover with

Then I had no idea about the calling card thing

Then raise the difficulty level.

>Prey
a video game
>Persona
a dating sim

is this a persona thread now?

p3 is hell mode in that regard, you basically need a very specific guide in order to max all the confidants and to not fuck up anything, never played p4 so dunno, but as far I know it was very forgiving

Persona 4 Golden which is the Kingdom Hearts final mix version of Persona 4 is where they started to introduce it. The thing is they started rewarding you more for your friendships and give you so much for taking the time to level up and interact with the characters.

>buying prey
>buying arkana shit game
Hell no

All these years and the SMT fags still get triggered at persona threads

A dating sim is better than a video game now? Whoah

Persona 4 should be avoided at all costs on PSN but Persona 4 Golden should not.

Just to let everyone know. Persona 4 does have a small problem with the first two bosses being a bit overleveled and the game does not have much on it. But Persona 4 Golden fixes it and adds a lot of cutscenes,costumes etc etc to where I know many will like that more than Persona 4. It's easy like this guy mentioned but also really fair in many respects.

>Persona 4 Golden which is the Kingdom Hearts final mix version of Persona 4

what did he mean by this

>blandest shit survival horror fps vs stylish dating sim
Video game is a exprience and i don't need another fucking fps in my life.

I'm playing P5 in normal mode and feel like the leveling/challenge is actually quite fair in all regards so far, I've lost due to the bullshit of everyone focusing on the MC but that's it, not to hard, not to easy to just spam attack

You don't deserve either if you bought fucking ME:A. Go pick up Wildlands faggot

>Persona 4 should be avoided at all costs on PSN but Persona 4 Golden should not.

i aint buying a vita or vita tv for just one game, is vanilla P4 unplayable or is P4G just better in a few minor ways?

Here's the real, neutral, answer

Prey will go down in price in like 3-5 weeks, like any other fucking fps

Persona will only become harder to find if you don't like to buy digital, and even then PSN has HORRIBLE sales so chance of getting it cheap, digital any time soon are really low

user, no one is going to buy a vita just for p4g, we really need a port of that game

Persona 4 is just basic with nothing much on it. Persona 4 Golden improves by giving a few new dating routes, a long with a online mode, a hidden Dungeon, 4 new tracks a few remixed tracks and a few more tweaks to the game to make it more fun. Just trust me.

Prey is good, but you can see everything in the game in about 40 hours while if you're into Persona 5 you'll get at least 200 hours of gameplay

Persona 4 vanilla is fine, ignore that autist, Golden adds some shit but it's basically no big deal, just bonus stuff for people that already beat the game before

Prey is just the latest Bethesda low budget game-of-the-next-five-minutes. Miss it and there will be another couple months or so. Nobody will remember it existed by then.

A bug that deleted all of the saves of an IGN reviewer. It ended in him giving the game a 4/10, before IGN's advertising department pressured him into raising the score.

you haven't even played it, weeb

Persona 5 is gonna last you like 7-90 hours depending on what you do. I'm nearly 50 hours in and i'm not even halfway through the game yet.

>harder to find

This will be the first time where that is not the case. It was sold out almost everywhere and stores are reordering a lot of copies because this game is literally 10 times as popular as Persona 3 and around 8 times more popular than persona 4. This is not a niche franchise anymore. (Persona 3 sold 300.000-500.000 thousand globally FES+original, Persona 5 sold 1-2 million copies just in the west.)

You could just use PS TV (which is like 20$ now a days plays Vita games) and play P4 Golden on it. It's vastly more improved to where my friend who beat Vanilla P4 and then played through Golden absolutely regretted not playing Golden first due to how much better the improvements are overall.

>Vita
>Hard to find
Dude just get PS TV man it's cheap as hell that's how I managed to play it and it's cheap on Amazon. Also it has sold a record amount of copies over time before Persona 5 dominated. Why would anyone get a Vita for 120$ when you can buy PS TV for 20$ and get Golden for 20$ or even 14$ on Amazon.

PSN has great sales. It's literally better than steam at times. It's hands down the best console in terms of digital sales.

Fuck off Dan Stapleton

>user, no one is going to buy a vita just for p4g, we really need a port of that game
I got a PSTV with an 8GB card for 20 bucks on ebay. Already have a dualshock 4, too.

Even if you can't find one that cheap with a card, the PSTV now allows you to save via usb stick.

>uses Metal Gear Solid as an example of superiority

How is this even a contest?
One has earned universal critical and fan acclaim, and the other is what it is.

Buy ME Andromeda again

Not the OP, but I've been contemplating a PSTV. However, I don't really know the library it could offer. P4G is obviously up there, but what else does it have?

>literally can play for free now
Prey is fucking trash.

lmao stay mad weeb

Download the PS app on your phone, and just browse around. I don't know what you're into, and the things I might recommend are things you may not even care about.

I will say this, though: the remake of FF Adventure (I think its called Adventure of Mana) is top tier. It's also a great way to play the PS classics if you don't have a PS3, or just don't want to use so much electricity to play PS1 games.

FFVI, FFVII, FFVIII, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Wild Arms 1&2, Dino Crisis 1&2, the list goes on for that shit. And all of them are dirt cheap (under 5 bucks per game), and regularly go on sale for as little as 99 cents per game.

prey is really good. It has a type of ending that i hate but they made me love it.

So, i have a question regarding P5
Is there any penalty if I ignore the "I'm tired" comments from the party and try to finish the palaces in ONE day? or should I at least take a break at the middle of it?

No penalties. They just say that shit to let you know that your SP is beginning to get low.

Ah I see, I'll try to complete the second palace in less than 3 days if I can then, have loads of money for sp recovery anyway

>He bought me

Holy fuck.

Also persona is boring if you're not a weeboo

Where can you buy SP recovery stuff?

im not a weeb

Bug was patched a long time ago

>metacritic
With that logic he should just buy Skyrim

get prey then

Then you're going to spend most of the game living the idealized life of an high school student. I hope you enjoy generic anime dialog because that is what you're getting for the rest of the game.

buy persona 5 how is that even a question you absolute cockgobbling faggot

If you are into jrpgs go buy P5. I hear it's long.
If you really enjoyed games like system shock - go buy Prey. It is one of the best modern takes on such games despite what some on /v say.

Alley doctor, iirc
