Man, watching Twitter since Persona 3 Reload's release has literally become watching "Persona 3 Fans excited to play Persona 3 for the first time" become reality.
Its the same for Danganronpa, I'm guessing back in the day the Tumblr crowd saw some of the emo esque art and attached themselves to it. Perhaps they read the Wikipedia entries if we are lucky.Why the majority of persona fans never played the games?
resists urge to rant about Sony being colossal fucking retardsYeah, I agree with this sentiment. Even including last gen, a PC/Playstation was a pretty good combo. There were enough quality Playstation exclusives to justify a PS console, and there were some genres and styles of games I could only get on PC. Both together, I was pretty happy with the games I could pick from.
This gen, I have a Playstation 5 that's severely underworked. There are very few exclusive games on it, fewer still worth playing, and apparently the two lists are getting smaller every day, rather than getting bigger. I'm pretty disappointed so far and I don't see myself buying any Playstation console after the PS5 unless things change significantly.
Its pretty good, i loved the first game for what it was although playing with randoms is worse than in 1 because of the lack of player tethering. Its a very fun coop shooter thoughDoubleposting because I have a relevant request instead of a meme. What's everyone's impression of Helldivers 2 so far? All I've seen are a few gameplay clips that look cool and people saying the servers are absolutely overloaded beyond capacity.
I am currently attempting to install it and despite being a 70 gig game the download appears to be less than 20 gigs. Even as a paperweight it is game of the yearDoubleposting because I have a relevant request instead of a meme. What's everyone's impression of Helldivers 2 so far?

The game is great fun. You likely won't be able to get logged in to actually play it.Doubleposting because I have a relevant request instead of a meme.

Been having fun with friends and randoms. Game biggest flaw right now is the server issues, but I think it's forgiving cause they did not expect the game playerbase to be this big. They expected the game to be at 50k launch, but instead it even exceeds their max threshold of 450k player capacity. PC alone has hit 400k, so it's insane to think what the real number is if you add PS5 players into the mix.Doubleposting because I have a relevant request instead of a meme.

from what I'm seeing all the major complaints are server/networking related. And that's because the devs vastly underestimated how many would be buying this game.
Yeah, it's why I'm waiting like 1-2 weeks before I really decide on getting it. I never played the first Helldivers but I had it in my PS4's library from a Playstation Plus free game giveaway. Can't really blame them for the servers because I know the first game was a typical AA game that only ever had like a 5k peak CCV.Game biggest flaw right now is the server issues, but I think it's forgiving cause they did not expect the game playerbase to be this big.

A lot of popular youtubers at the time (I explicitly remember Dunkey doing a review in a positive light which is rare because the dude will trash every JRPG) were playing/reviewing it which caused their audiences to acknowledge it and basically vomit the same opinions out. Also during the height of glowing reviews it had at the time, they added Joker from Persona 5 to Smash Bros Ultimate as the first DLC fighter. I do remember there being a not-insignificant amount of Smash and Nintendo fans at the time saying shit like "why would I play the game if its on a different console entirely switch port plz Atlus!!" Which caused an increase in people portbegging and just watching a playthrough of the important story beats to get the real """experience""". The general waifu stuff and people really overselling the (imho) mid Shoji Meguro soundtrack (it invented jazz!) also contributes to this.Why the majority of persona fans never played the games?
everyone knows Digital Devil Saga has the best Meguro OST

Oh and it also had messages about uh,
Society (like the majority of Atlus games??? Okay.)
Which people really latched onto too.
Gotta love a top quality game for only $40 USD too. I don't have it myself yet, but from what I'm seeing all the major complaints are server/networking related. And that's because the devs vastly underestimated how many would be buying this game.
From what i'm seeing too, while it's got some battle pass elements it's not like COD where the guns you get are super OP. Just other flavors of weapons. So a return to form for how online unlocks work.
And personally, this compilation sold me on the game. I can't wait to see what other factions they add to the game.
Games as a service and similar bloated design becoming so common feels like a double-edged sword here too. I don't need to buy multiple games anymore when I can dump hundreds of hours into a single good one. Like I should probably stop playing Monster Hunter, but I won't, and I'm not going to drop a ton of money on a console when I know I'm maybe only going to buy a handful of games for it.Honestly? I wouldn't mind. I've got enough roms/isos and a big enough Steam backlog that I could go at least a decade without needing a new game. Probably longer.
