How do you get downvotes?

This will be my first Persona game. Sounds like im in for a good time.

Actually they're smashing this generation and era. Its the power of the force!

Just curious Septic. When did you become a lover of all things PlayStation?

On topic though, PlayStation is smashing it this year! Come on Steelbook Edition!

VIVA LA PLAYSTACION!

ANYONE who doubted this game, is a fool.

If you have been on the fence about JRPG's before, start with this one. It's a contained story as well, you don't need to have played the other iterations.

Septic forgets to have his meds once in a while.

OT, another gem on PS4. This console keeps on giving.

He used to be very much pro-Xbox, now he seems to be pro-playstation, probably explains the downvotes, people think he's trolling or something, and maybe he is, no idea.

Poor graphics and textures, wonky controls and camera, yet ANOTHER turn based JRPG just set in a different world with a unique art style, no multiplayer, no co op, it's more of the same yet almost receives a 10? Um, ok.

Each of the reviews sound like Otaku fans of the series and over look any issue with the game. I heard a lot of adjectives in this review without a lot of actual content. Wow, I had high hopes for this, but yet another game I don't need to play.

Alright! Never played the series and this game wasn't even on my radar, but after the great reviews(and the sketchiness of ME:Andromeda) I just pre-ordered it. Can't wait to enter the Persona world.

Ok lets get this straight ppl, persona has been on sony, like shin megami tensei is nintendo. So in a way yes it is exclusively only ps. I guess atlus needs to make an exclusive franchise for xbox. But the japs dont like ms for some reason

Agree, 4 exclusives that was a MASTERPIECE came out in a row.
1-Yakuza
2-NI OH
3-Horizon
4-P5

PS4 exclusives master

Horizon is the only one on that list that has a chance to have lasting appeal.

NiOh is on Steam so not exclusive to Sony.

Uh Sam Perhaps when Xboners quit constantly saying Japanese games suck and they wouldn't buy them then maybe Japanese developers will make games for XBone.

@Unspoken Nioh is not on Steam. If it was I'd buy it. You're thinking of Nier.

Correct, was thinking Neir, sorry about that. Nioh is exclusive and is the Dark Souls clone, right?

Septic is biding his time until Scorpio. Then when it comes out and he can go back to his extreme PlayStation bashing and say "I'm not a fanboy, look at my recent "history", I love both but The Last of Us Part II just isn't that good".
And a lot of people just simply aren't buying lol.

Septic, can you explain to us what you're doing?

Because I still remember, only a few months ago, the absolute pathetic pro ms comments you were making.

If you're doing this just to annoy/confuse us, congrats, it's worked.

@Unspoken

No,Dark Souls is a Demons Souls clone. So technically Nioh is a Demons Souls clone.

I don't know, they have lots of games getting great scores, but at the end of the day...it's really just Horizon for me...then I have no interest in anything else they released.

Yup score another one for the good guys. PlayStation still crushing it

Never played a Persona game, but this one looks great. I do have the Persona game for my PSVita, but I have yet to tried it. I think it's Persona 4 Golden. I'll have to pull it out and try it now.

I also understand budget issues, as I also grew up in a single income household. But listen, if you have the money but rather use it somewhere else or for something else. That ain't an excuse. But if you don't have the money because you dont have the money. It's totally understandable. But when developers stop making games because they aren't making money, than no one else is to blame but the people that didn't support it. So if you have the money and you like the game then put out. Support the developers.

That being said. Persona is not my cup of tea. So i wont be buying it. It is probably one of the best games out now, But I don't personally like those types of games or jrpgs in general. I grew out of it, I suppose. As growing up I loved jrpgs, I ate final fantasy for dessert, But I didn't even buy the latest one in the series. And I bought and didn't enjoy Nino kunei, gave up probably after 25% of the game.

Game ordered. I love P4G on my Vita. I think P5 could even top that great game.

With Gamefly you're not technically support the game, because you're just renting kind of like borrowing the game from a friend.

But do what's best for you, especially if you haven't played the franchise before. That being said if you do decide to buy it order it from Best Buy. Their Gamer's Club unlocked saves you 20% off all new games are $48 instead of $60, and it works online as well so if you don't have a store nearby you can still have it shipped at that price.

This year has been pretty good so far. There are more than just 2 games that can be considered "masterpieces"

Who is getting mad at you for replying? Grow up!

Sega too lol

@Master- Sony made both platforms, Persona 5 is on PS3 and PS4.

Thank Sony for making PS3 and PS4, Thank Sega for funding Persona 5, Thank Atlus for making Persona 5....

Legion, Sony deserves partial credit because of what they have managed to build with the PlayStation brand and developers like Atlus, Koei, Bandai Namco, and From Software, were pretty much there with the PlayStation brand from the beginning. Sony has built a track record of making consoles that sell GAMES! Even if Sony didn't make games like Nioh, Bloodborne, Yakuza 0, Ace Combat, or Persona, Sony still deserves partial credit for the success that these companies enjoy today. And let's just be honest about the situation, since Sega doesn't make consoles any more and Nintendo's consoles have all but faded into obscurity (Switch is just a handheld with a battery stand that connects to the TV) do you actually believe that games like Nioh, Bloodborne, Yakuza 0, or Persona 5 would sell on the Xbox One?

Yep, I don't think so either.

It isn't, but isn't Sony publishing Nioh? I don't know how deep that deal goes either. I'd assume they don't own the IP, but Sony actually rarely publishes titles they don't out right own.

So admittedly, I don't know how deep this deal goes.

@Over- well agreed. Because of how those titles perform sales wise, I don't think its a good move unless they see a demand on PC. I think PC makes sense as SEGA has got some success with it from titles like Valkria Chronicles. I think they can do a Square ala Namco and port Persona 1-3 and see how it goes, then port Persona 4 and then 5 if they all perform good enough. Square didn't just drop all titles on PC day 1, they slowly began putting more and more on PC to see how the audience felt and indeed, an install base exist. BUT ONLY if Sega feels they can make some money, I don't want them losing money and damn near quitting production of games based on this now.

I can see Persona 5 on Switch too as Persona 3 and 4 did well on PSP and PS Vita, I think as a portable Persona 5 makes so much sense for Switch if it can work on PS3 too. I think maybe its because Switch just doesn't have enough units sold to justify such a port at the time.

Just like how sunset overdrive, quantum break, dead rising isnt microsoft's? give me a break mircosoft fanboy, you're damage controlling
