Here we go, can see many 9+/10s for this game. 1 more week!

krontaar2585d ago

woah it really is only a week away. It feels like we've been waiting for this for an eternity. The last few months really flew by

freshslicepizza2585d ago

kicking myself for not ordering this earlier for the PS3

Thank you for reminding us the game is on PS3. I swear we didn't know s/

@moldy

You should really get a ps4 bro

franwex2585d ago

Why are you guys being console fanboys right now? A great game has come out, at least he can still play it without spending money on a console that he was not gonna buy anyway most likely.

AspiringProGenji2585d ago

Not at all. I'm impressed you don't have a PS4 *gasp*

ShadowKnight2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

Moldybread 😅😅😂

Wow all these Sony exclusives with great review scores

_-EDMIX-_2585d ago

@mold- you could still pre order it off of Amazon and I believe it's at a discount price for PlayStation 3.

I would also probably advise you to purchase a PlayStation 4 if you even like Japanese RPGs because with the onslaught of Japanese RPGs that are releasing you're probably going to be left in the cold in the next year or so.

If you own a PlayStation 3 for Japanese RPGs the next logical step is to own a PlayStation 4 because I don't see the rest of SEGA's big RPGs coming on PlayStation 3 after this.

@As-when you have articles like this continuously calling it a PlayStation 4 exclusive it is definitely within the realm of possibility that many users do not know it is also releasing on PlayStation 3.

nX2585d ago

Guys he's an autistic troll, maybe the worst N4G has ever seen. What makes you think he is doing anything intelligent with his time that would enable him to purchase a new console? Persona probably runs just as fine on PS3 so let him continue his miserable life of downplaying anything he can't get himself.

2585d ago
bouzebbal2585d ago

no idea how you guys manage to play all these games.
this first quarter is so mental i never witnessed such a massive flow of good games in such a short period during my 25+ year experience in gaming.

ShadowHarp2585d ago

you're offending ps4 owners by not owning one dude, chill.

Realms2585d ago

@ShadowHarp

Or maybe moldy is a troll and is always trying to hate on Sony there is a reason why many of us don't believe anything he say's even when he is being positive. I seriously doubt he had any real interest in this game otherwise he would have bought it instead of trying to down play it because it's also available on the PS3.

S2Killinit2585d ago

I don't even read what Moldybread writes anymore, except sometimes for amusement.

On topic: I've been super hyped for this. I've never played any of them before but I've seen one played, and it took my money right there and then.

mikeslemonade2585d ago

The game would be better if they didn't make PS3 version and that's a fact.

I can't wait for this game.

Kribwalker2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

This review has clicbait written all over it. It's either a lot of nostalgia or Sony pulled out the checkbook early with these reviews,
"Overall Persona 5 is a “perfect” game. But really no game is perfect but Persona 5 is very close to perfection"
If it's close to perfection but not perfect should it get a perfect score?

Ah poor xbox kids, crying the whole generation. *media bias media bias media*

Funny how sony is bankrupt according to these clowns yet sony has tons of sony to send to reviewers for their games. Which is it kiddo?

Back to watching crapgamer videos you go.

It's funny, I used every reason to call out this review that you guys have been calling out on every Zelda review, but it's a different story now eh

Mmmmm the tears are delicious

Keep crying you pathetic microsoft fanboy. Your favourite console wishes it had games as good as persona 5

rainslacker2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

Dunno about that. The Persona series consistently scores high, and is often considered one of the best JRPG's out there. It doesn't have the mainstream recognition that things like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest has, but without fail, it delivers on quality.

As far as trying to compare it to Zelda. Well, I can't ever recall a Persona game having frame rate drops, glitches, or questionable mechanics which seem out of place. Sure, it's not perfect everywhere, but it's typically flawless in execution. So, yeah, you're just trolling for no reason.

UltraNova2585d ago

Krib

Am I supposed to beleive thats your living room based on my trust for you? Anw I dont care wether you have a ps4 or not, just stop wasting yours and more importantly our time for trolling.

Grow up.

gangsta_red2585d ago

As much as i am excited for Persona finally to release, Krib has a point.

There was nothing but excuses for Zelda getting perfect scores and some of them had nothing to do with glitches and bugs.

@rainslacker

Sorry Rainslacker but you act like Zelda crashes every step of the way or is unplayable because of bugs. Truth is i havent read from a lot of people who played the game have as many issues as you and others keep bringing up to discredit the game or argue why it doesn't deserve the scores it's getting.

If Krib is trolling for no reason then I suggest you go back and apply that logic to the others in those Zelda articles.

Gazondaily2585d ago

@rainslacker

"Well, I can't ever recall a Persona game having frame rate drops, glitches, or questionable mechanics which seem out of place."

But then goes on to say about Persona: "Sure, it's not perfect everywhere, "

So what's your point lol?

Ridiculous lmao

Kribwalker2585d ago

@kalkano
You do understand this is the 5th game in the series right?

S2Killinit2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

hey look its Gangsta-Red and Septic in the same article at the same time once again, what a coincidence.

@ Bluefox755
LOL you cracked me up with that!

Markusb332585d ago

gotta get some negative angle in there quick eh, thats what i love about the gaming world, everyone loves a negative. Its fine im not a fan of zelda but i just wont play it, its that easy.

AspiringProGenji2585d ago

So why don't you three go to every person that hurt your feelings about Zelda scores being bought instead of posting that to people that don't have anything to do with it?

Eonjay2585d ago

Its hard for some to grasp tge wealth of great titles on PlayStation.

Chevalier2585d ago

Gears of War 4 and Halo 5 which are not the best games in their series still got a handful of perfect scores. They are no where perfect either. Same goes for any number series.

rainslacker2585d ago

@gangsta

I'm not acting like Zelda has those problems, I'm saying it has issues which would get points knocked off of other games. Almost every reviewer has stated these issues exist, so if you haven't read these kinds of problems, you haven't read the reviews. Care to respond why you haven't read this in reviews before responding to a matter of review scores? If the reviewers see these issues happen enough to mention them, and if they admit they recognize them, then it should be accounted for. They exist regardless of if you read them or not, and is the major contention of why people are asking why the game isn't be scored lower because of these issues when other really good games do get docked.

@Septic

It's not perfect in game play, although it's always improved as the series progressed. It has things there through various games which could be improved. But when it comes to working the way it's intended, I can't recall there ever being issues.

My point is that the OP was making it out like this was some sort of conspiracy trying to liken this review to the same thing that is happening to Zelda, because one review, which was poorly written, is obviously the same thing as a game getting 9's and 10's across the board. He was downplaying the quality of Persona, and my point was, based on the assumption this person wants Zelda to be the God Among Games, that Persona has been consistently solid and always scored high, thus no conspiracy.

Maybe try taking my comment in context to the post I'm replying to will help, because it's much more ridiculous than the one I made.

Kribwalker2584d ago

@rainslacker
Zelda has always been really good quality and consistently scored high, as can be seen with Ocarina of time still being the highest rated game ever. So why was there a conspiracy saying it's paid reviews for that game?

And no I wasn't going against the quality of persona 5, I have never played it so I wouldn't know, but I have been playing Zelda on my switch and I can tell you it has been worthy of the reviews it has gotten. I haven't played a game this engrossing and something that has taken all of my time like this one since the ocarina of time.

_-EDMIX-_2584d ago

. Why would Sony pull out a checkbook?

This is Sega's game, not Sony.

Dear God how much don't you know about the industry? Your points are pretty much irrelevant because of this you just don't know enough to really hold a conversation or really have your points taken seriously.

Kribwalker2584d ago

@edmix
Who paid to have this game exclusive? Who is then most likely paying for the marketing of the game which is common practice when a company has an exclusive? That's right, it would be Sony. And part of marketing is providing review kits for games.

overrated442584d ago

Real talk, why do you hate this game so much. I just checked your comment history and most of the first page is just you going to positive Persona 5 reviews and downplaying them. You obviously have some sort of vendetta against the franchise so what is it? Please respond here or DM me, I'm genuinely curious.

rainslacker2582d ago

@krib

Never said there was a conspiracy. That's kind of silly. I'm saying there is a huge disconnect between the criteria held for zelda, and those held for other games. There are other great games out there which get docked points for the issues which Zelda has. The reviews even say these issues exist, but the scores are still high 9's and 10's, with nary a troll review in site. It's just weird is all.

As far as you not disparaging the quality of the series, that's fair enough. but to go on trying to make it seem like this is the case to try and vindicate yourself against the same claims that have been lobbed at Zelda is just petty....and in this case, for the first review, absolutely stupid.

I've never played a Persona game before and this wasn't even on my radar until about 2 weeks ago. I checked out a 15 minute gameplay video just to see what all the hype was about and instantly fell in love. I pre-ordered it as soon as I was done watching the video and now I can't wait for next week.

Between this, Mass Effect, and Horizon Zero Dawn I have the next few months covered.

Lol, this review is horribly written and it sounds like a 10 year old wrote it.

Persona 4 golden was what hooked me, it's absolutely amazing.

moegooner882586d ago

This site gave Horizon ZD and BOW around 88.So a 100 really is something to get excited about.

starchild2585d ago

Well, it can also have to do with his/her personal preferences. For example, the reviewer might love JRPGs more than any other type of game and therefor action RPGs won't excite them as much. Or it might have been different reviewers.

moegooner882585d ago

Other JRPGs didn't score as high either on this site, so yeah. My point still stands

2585d ago
Miss_Weeboo2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

Or maybe they are into weird rpgs. Probably just a different reviewer?

Protagonist2585d ago

I would argue the Persona Series is less "weird" than most rpgs.

BlakHavoc2585d ago

Greatness incoming! So excited for this game. First in the series for me.

Lightsbane2585d ago

My body isn't ready for this...

Sunny_D2585d ago

Apparently some of these disagrees think your body can handle it.

ColonelHugh2585d ago

Poor Lightsbane, his body is going to be annihilated by Persona 5 just because of peer pressure.

Lightsbane2585d ago

Going to have to be some industrial lubricant. Haven't been this hyped for a game in a long time.

The Best Turn-Based RPGs if You Hate Turn-Based Combat

In the world of video games, there’s no genre quite as notoriously difficult to get into as the Turn-Based RPG. Lets review a few RPGs you can play if you’ve tried the biggest and best in turn-based combat and never found it appealing.

Sea of stars while seeming pretty good so far doesn't belong in the top rpg discussion. There's way better ones. I'd tell them to play star ocean 2. One of the best non turn based rpgs ever. It has everything.

raWfodog128d ago

And if the list is limited to just turn-based RPGs, I can think of better ones to add to this list. You have the Dragon Quest series, the Trails series…Persona 5 Royale is on the list but why limit it to just that one? P3 and P4 were great as well.

Zenzuu128d ago (Edited 128d ago )

The Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Legaia, or the Shadow Hearts games has decent enjoyable turn based combat system.

Would be plus+1 more if they'd settle the fk down and stop re releasing it. I'm waiting on the definitive one over here

It's ok, I bought 4 to your zero, they don't need your pity purchase. Every version was definitive and has their own perks.
