One of the best entries in the Japanese role-playing genre, Persona 5 is a stunning game. However, Persona 5 can be a long, dark hallway of frustration.
"Last Surprise" and "Mass Destruction" are two of the best Persona battle themes, no doubt.
The PlayStation 3 is Sony’s most interesting home console ever, but what’s most interesting of all is trying to nail down the very best games on a console with hundreds of incredible games. Let’s give it a shot.
We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad
Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension
2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.
Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯
I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers
Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming
Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?
If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.
I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.
I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64
I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.
But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.
The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.
if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.
Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.
The Persona / Shin Megami Tensei cosplay gathering allowed fans of the acclaimed JRPG series to meet up during FanimeCon 2024.
I like Tales of Berseria as the better game
Many of those things, like “endless cutsscenes” and not wrong by any means. This list of “wrongs” sounds like someone didn’t have any of what he was playing
“No side missions.”
Except the game did have side missions. What about mementos?
Opinion dismissed!
What? Lol
6. No Side Missions
Has this guy never heard of Mementos? Lol
I'm in the second palace right now and I'm having a great time wih the game so far. I haven't read most of the points to avoid spoilers but the ones I've read are completely ridiculous:
2. Endless Cut Scenes: I don't even understand what you are criticising here. Yeah if you skip the cutscenes you won't understand the story... that's pretty much the case with any story driven game ever released. If you fall asleep while watching a movie you probably won't understand the movie either.
3. Mechanics Aren’t Explained Well: That's simply not true for me so far. Yeah there isn't an ingame tutorial for every single mechanic but Morgana tells you that you can find more in depth tutorials in the menu. As for the negotiations mechanic you can find the preferred answers of the different personality traits in the tutorial section:
"Upbeat Shadows like joking answers, but dislike serious or vague ones.
Timid Shadows like kind answers, but dislike vague or joking ones.
Irritable Shadows like serious answers, but dislike vague or kind ones.
Gloomy Shadows like vagues answers, but dislike serious or joking ones."
Obviously it's not always 100% clear which answer falls into which category but that's the point of the negotiation mechanic. With that information I'm having a success rate of about 80-90%.
Then you are criticising that you don't have the information about the weaknesses of the Personas when you haven't thought them before. How is that even a negative? It sounds to me like you just want an autowin button for the game.
Also when fusing Personas there is a menu where you can see all the possible results you can get with your current Personas so you don't have to "constantly go back and forth trying to figure out which persona to fuse to get the one you want".
If anything I'm surprised how good the menus are in Persona 5.
4. Get Ready For a Steep Learning Curve: I have started the game on hard for my first playthrough and I think it's a fair challenge so far. Unless it gets significantly harder though I don't get the criticism at all.
Bull poop. This game is amazing! Fact!
