Re: Random: Brie Larson Seems As Excited For Animal Crossing: New Horizons As We Are

Well, to be fair, I agree with you and want to see total equality

BUT I can't agree with radical feminism. Over here, it has toxicated the society because, as they stated: men can't be changed and are animals. I can't support that, especially how it's not about equality anymore but what sex dominates the most and unfair competition. Women shouldn't dominate men either and your carreer/ social capital should be determined by your achievements, not by that the little list says we need to be excatly 25% men/women/blacks/homosexuals etc. My point of view is that equality isn't a free ticket but a fair opportunity.

so yea, I'm all in for equality but not "freeloaders"

Re: Atlus Says Its Survey Asking About Switch Ports Exceeded Expectations

@BarefootBowser
Well, I know what's on ps4, and I haven't had a moment where I got excited for a game (beside Persona 5, but I've already played that one on psnow)... mind you, I'm not saying that ps4 games are bad, I just have certain criteria for games which the platform fail to offer me. That's just how life is.

Because life is more than food and light. It's necessities in a modern society, but there are other aspects of life that needs to be taken care of as well. In our case, we need to use quite an amount to see my side of the family now and then who live in another country and also her side of the family who live in a city quite far away, which also costs in gas. That's just one thing we spend some money on, but I would rather raise my social capital rather than playing a game. Not everyone can afford to burn money, but it also depends on how you prioritize your life. My top priority is not games, that's for sure

@BarefootBowser Personally I couldn't care less for the other ps4 titles, and the ones that exists on the system and that I actually care about is already ported to the Switch From what I have seen so far, there's a good portion of those who want the game who has the same perspective.
Besides, my wife would kill me if I bought another system and a game / games for it... we have a family to support

Well, they probably wouldn't ask us if we wanted these Persona games if they really had a contract with Sony for exclusivity (unless the contract was time limited).

But it would be plain stupid if they didn't react to such a massive response to the survey, especially since they made the survey themselves... I know some say that it's just a survey, but I can guarantee that companies don't make surveys just for fun. There's always a reason behind it

Re: Persona 5 Scramble Japanese Demo Goes Live On Nintendo Switch

danemord

Downloaded the demo as soon as I noticed it was online.

First impression:
It's definitely a sequel to Persona 5. I was a little worried about how much they had changed the gameplay during the game, but I was surprised how much it stayed true to their roots. The story is as fun as ever, and it's going to be interesting to see more of the overworld social interactions in the full game. It showed a minimum of that doing the demo, but it presented the beginning of the game after all which is how the first game was as well.
Now, they DO say that the game is musou style in its battle style. While it's apparent when you look the enemies' animations, they could have fooled me if they hadn't mentioned it. While the first game is turn based, everything else is implemented in the gameplay like Persona summoning, the way you shoot, all out attacks etc. and makes it its own. The battles are also relatively fast and makes it more like its predecessor. Maybe it's just me but the way the battles work reminds me a bit like games like Bayonetta, and I don't mind that at all! All in all, while I think the Persona games have some of the best turn based systems, these real time battles is EXACTLY what I wished Persona 5 was to begin with... I just wish that the western release wasn't so far away.

One downside though is maybe only on the switch version: the load times! It's frustrating to wait for so long in a game like this! I can see through it, but could definitely be something to improve if possible.

All in all, if this is the closest we get to Persona 5, I don't mind at all. From what they have shown until now, it looks really promising

Re: Here's Another Monster-Battling RPG That's After Pokémon's Crown

@Zuljaras
I've heard plenty of people complaining about the game mechanics (mostly that it's outdated).

Personally I would love Pokemon to get a more real-time combat jrpg approach like Final Fantasy 7 remake... it would make it more like a test of skills and not just who's best/fastest at grinding and looking through websites for combinations and IV/EV boosts.... Kindred Fates seems like dipping it's toes into such an approach

Re: Video: Persona 5 Scramble Treated To Flashy New Trailer, Demo Arrives Next Month

@Dang69

...okay, I'll take the bait because this starts getting irritating.

From an interview with Kazutoshi Sekiguchi:

“Our company has many Persona fans, at first they proposed a ‘Persona Musou (Warriors)’. However, in the story-filling stage, we decided to make it into something that delves deeper into the characters of Persona 5. After some twists-and-turns, it ended up becoming an action-RPG that told a continuation of Persona 5.”

That's the official statement. It was supposed to be a musou game, but it became an action-RPG. People have right to different opinions, but at the end of the day, the company behind musou games have the right to DEFINE what is a part of their musou games and what is not. Let's just leave it at that.

I would say that directly calling it a musou game is a bit of a stretch.. it's definitely heavily inspired combat wise, but even that has some good adjustments from the turnbased part of persona 5. If you think about it, if you take away the combats, it's just like watching a Persona game.

I would say that Scramble is to Warriors that Bayonetta is to Devil May Cry.. same style but still very different

Re: Reminder: Nintendo Rolls Out Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Version 7.0 Next Week

@SakuraHaruka

True. In general, the "pleasing the customers" mostly works in services that doesn't require higher degree of innovation such as supermarkets and hotels. Game developers don't have that luxury. I think Steve Jobs was absolutely right when he said that "people don't know what they want until you show it to them".

What went wrong with Byleth was most likely the third scenario: obvious advertising for the FE upcoming dlc as the last of the five fighters. They needed to include him/her now if it should get an impact on FE sales, but that costed space for the last fighter. It was obvious that people would not be excited for nother FE character, and what made it much worse was that you're supposed to have a "last surprise" when you present something as a company and not a controversial inclusion.... You do that in the middle of a package where people won't get as focused/miffed. Of course they had a deadline with the FE dlc, but it definitely had some sacrifices.
In short, smart advertising but reeeeally bad timing for the fighters dlc

Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Is Getting An Expansion Pass, And It Looks Mighty

danemord

This was a nice direct. Much better expansions than I hoped for

...So people got what they wanted (200 pokémon, and I won't be surprised if that number will increase in future updates), and they can transfer them and trade them to their game without the expansions. Even so, they just direct their complains at something else.

In short, I see complaining for the sake of complaining
