Still, not really a fan of the framing device. Starting in medias res pretty much ruins a great plot twist. It'd be like if they started Persona 4 by shouting the serial killer's name at you.
Also this game is a whole hell of a lot darker than P4. Only 4 hours in and you're hit with things like rape, suicide, torture and police brutality.

The more accurate statement would be that P4 is he'll of a lot more upbeat. The series as a rule has had a much darker tone.
SmokyKisses said:That, and Atlus is well aware that Persona gameplay is terrible.
SmokyKisses said:The twist is painfully obvious. The reason they're not letting people stream past a certain point in the game is because that's the point where the entire plot goes to garbage.

No one ever said they're "action" games.
They're RPGs with mechanics where effectively advancing your protagonist is complete trial and error, filled with visual-novel mechanics that require a guide in order to complete successfully, and built around a combat system where enemies can screw you over in a single turn because of weaknesses that party members you're forced to bring have.
No one wants to actually play Persona 5, which is why they're trying to keep people from streaming it. No one wants to put up with the grinding, trial-and-error, and frustration of Persona's garbage gameplay, not even the people who actually care about the faux-artsy crap of Persona plots.

Is the fun i'm having from the game a meme?
Grayfox176 said:Without getting into exactly how those complaints are also almost entirely wrong (Or at the very least, definitely wrong-headed), I'd also like to add that for a game that "nobody wants to play," It is currently not only the highest rated game in the series to date, it's also the second highest rated game of the year behind Breath of the Wild, and only beaten out by GTAV, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and The Last of Us (And even in the case of those last two, just barely) in critical ratings in the last 5 years beyond that.
In other words, it's currently tied at the 5th best rated game of the last five years.

Reviewers care less about the shit gameplay and shit plot of every Persona game than they do about a bunch of people who throw a fit because a female character in a game isn't a sex object.
Persona 5 only got good scores because reviewers are pathetic hipsters pandering to people who don't give a crap about the quality of games and just want their fanboy backsides kissed.
