Do not worry then . consequences are IN.
In many aspects , P5 is more P3 and than P4.
I guess i need someone to define why "mature" is used since people were saying that it was better grounded in reality despite the anime asthetic.Or did i miss a post ?
The 4th arc is better than the first
Oh that sounds nice.

Right? I just don't know what to do D:
Already made that mistake.
And by mistake, I forgot what the picture looked like.
There are none.

It's an upscaled PS3 game. Your improvements are a stable framerate.

Thinking of getting, do I need to have played previous Persona games to understand what's going on?

/s?
So if you get framerate dips on the second dungeon as this user reports will you then score P5 a 0/10?
Or occasional drops in cities and battles as well.
I bet you P5 will be so good it won't matter for most people, just as it doesn't for most people/reviewers in the case of BotW.
Shit, really? Damn damn damn.

I'm glad this is reviewing well. I love Persona, and it's great that this series is finally getting the attention it deserves ...but I still don't have any excitement towards playing P5. Until the game is actually, physically here, on store shelves, with English subs, it will be that way. I have a couple of friends who decided to play the Japanese version because they were so hyped, and despite being similarly burnt out on Persona 5 and the series in general, they forced themselves into playing it and ended up disappointed. It could be that the game simply disappointed them because of its own merits, but I don't believe that to entirely be the case. It's not exactly uncommon for people to burn out on excitement and attempt to overcome it to experience something they've waited so long for ...but I'm not trying to do all that. Not with a series that means so much to me, especially given I just experienced that very disappointment with Metal Gear Solid not too long ago. In most cases, I would think it advantageous to go into something without predetermined expectations, but honestly, I just don't feel anything for this series right now as I once did, and much of it has to do with poor communication and a poor handling of this game's release. Unfortunately, those moments of radio silence and leg-pulling do have an impact on my time with the game. I don't know if it will takes days, months, or years to have a rekindled passion for the series, but whenever I do I've it a go, I'm certain it will deliver something special. I kind of feel like I'm shitting up Persona threads at this point, so I won't say anything more on that, but I will say that anyone who is getting to experience Persona for the first time is in for a treat. I haven't played P5, but the team that's in place won't disappoint.

Yes, let us not forget NNK2 and, possibly, DQ11. Sweet time to be a jRPG fan.
Generalizing 2017.

I wonder if the Metacritic score would surpass P4G...

Yeah I've played a lot of hours of this and still love it more all the time.
Amazing game, easily better than three and four.

I think that March 29 is the embargo for Persona 5 reviews, so I don't why this review is posted early.
The game will obviously be great because the current formula works so well. P5 is great comfort food, but I just find other 2017 releases so much more exciting.
I kind of want Persona 6 to shake up the series and RPG genre as a whole like Persona 3 did.

It beats FFXV? Wow almost sounds like P5 could actually be good, you know unlike FFXV.
But great. After Horizon, after Nier, this will keep me entertained further still. Cracking year. Almost makes me forget XV existed. Almost.

Man, this year is crazy.
Also, after reading so often how japanese games are no longer relevant, how the west took over, how big budget japanese games are going to die because mobile is king in japan...................it's nice seeing them blow everyone away non stop this year. Yakuza 0, Nioh, Zelda, Nier... and now mabye Persona

Crap, I still need to finish up Bloodborne. I would've had it done already but I decided to wait a bit for 4.50 since I got a Pro a couple months back.
Hopefully Amazon release-day delivery doesn't let me down.

Doesn't surprise me at all, I should get back to playing it, got distracted by more recent releases. Too many games!

I gotta finish Zelda by the time this is out. I also need to play the Last Guardian and FFXV.
This overrides priority for everything though.

As did 60 other games in 2016 according to metacritic.
As did NIER just now
That is the new bar for JRPG's.

I've seen a lot and I have no optimism!
I also don't buy any comparisons anyone makes to P2.

With all of the hate that FFXV gets, I'm amazed that it actually made it into NeoGAF's top ten games of 2016, over games like Dishonored 2. I would have thought that 90% of the board hated the game or something. Anyways, I'm sure Persona 5 is a better game than Final Fantasy XV, I'm definitely more of a Persona fan than a Final Fantasy one, and everything that I've seen from 5 looks incredible. I can't wait to dive back in to the world of Persona.
Am I really the only one who don´t take Gaming Magazine with a name of a specific console/company not that serious?
(same goes for Nintendoworldreport or whatever, and whatever xbox/MS has)

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Ask someone not to console warz post by posting a generalizing console warz post. Riiiiiiight.
Point at the doll where the bad reviewer hurt you.
I hope Persona 5 has 15fps to weed out all the casuals.

Finish Horizon, try out ME Andromeda and the wait is over. Sweet Igor on a Unicorn.
Never forget:
As if it was yesterday, god damn.
It was a long, loooong, LONG wait, but I'm sure it's going to be absolutely worth it.
With this and Zelda, Horizon, Nier and all the other games coming this year, this is going to be such a fucking good, filled up year.

Golden has a deserved 93 MC, I hope P5 can top it. My only hope is that the game wont be reviewed by people who blatantly have no interest in JRPGs.
