My first Persona game was Persona 4 back in the PS2. Didn't have any issues, but couldn't complete everything in one playthrough.
If you don't mind that, P4 (or its remake I guess) it's a good starting point.
Metaphor is pretty much a culmination of past games. It's cool to see and play after knowing the past games.
Just be aware that you probably won't Platinum the games just playing them one time (if you care about that).
I've seen it in the Store. I'm always checking what's releasing, but honestly didn't give it a second glance. Not really a fan of old GTA, but I love Vampire Survivors, would you still recommend it to me?
After finishing all the classic God of War games, I'm playing Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z for the first time and some of Angry Video Game Nerd I & II Deluxe.
I don't like them either, but look at Hoyoverse or Fortnite. Guys made millions. So saying nobody wants them is just wrong. I still won't play them, but that's the kind of golden goose the companies are chasing.
Hard to argue with Royal at #1 but I say that's only if you didn't play vanilla before.
For me the #1 would be Infinite Wealth. LADG: TMWEHN was also a big letdown, crazy that's it's ranking so high. I would put Lost Judgement over it any day.
Oh, this is awesome. I'm into this, yeah! Don't love every one, but I give most a chance. Hoping for a lot of console releases too, but I know the chances.
First of all, is that freaking Yuri in your pfp? Second, I have no idea what you mean by that. I never mentioned Nintendo or anything Nintendo-related. 😅
After the complete dissapointment of God of War 2018 I went back to my PS3 to play the classics. Finished 1 already which I absolutely loved and now I'm halfway through II which is even better. I really miss this kind of hack'n slash gameplay and a protagonist like Kratos. I don't think there's anything like it nowadays.
It's crazy that you can't play these games without a PS2 or PS3. Sony is terrible with this stuff. I don't think modern Sony dares to do something like the old GoW games even if it's remastering them.
Finished God or War (2018) a few days ago but I found it so boring and devoid of anything resembling a God of War game (it feels like Theseus's Paradox) that I'm going back to my PS3 to play the original trilogy, and maybe the PSP ones and Ascension again.
Already started the first one and loving it.
Older games run and look better on modern hardware, they're usually a lot cheaper. Or you know, if you still have them, you can play them without buying them again. And then there wouldn't be as much remasters and remakes (that might be wishful thinking).
I don't see why it doesn't make sense. Instead of playing The Last of Us ReReReRemaster I could play Folklore and not complain.

Mini map, full map with a button, I would take anything.
Sadly, I couldn't enjoy it as it is.

I'll be giving up on those maps, I guess.

Re: Sounds Like Switch 2 May Have Obliterated PS5's Launch Record in France
As much as I don't like it, Nintendo is king, and they don't even need amazing graphics to do it.

Still PS4? They know how to make money.
Re: Third Plague Tale Game Leaks Ahead of Xbox Show, Out for PS5 in 2026

Re: Resident Evil 9 PS5 Reveal This Week, It's Claimed
Didn't care about 7 and 8 at all. If we go back to third person I might be interested.
Re: Rumour: Greek God of War Game Is a 2.5D Metroidvania
If the old Kratos is back and it has blood and gore again, I could be interested.
To note is that I'm talking about 2018. Won't be playing Ragnarok.

I still won't play them, but that's the kind of golden goose the companies are chasing.
Re: Expedition 33 Could Get Much Requested Photo Mode in Future Update on PS5

x2.
I've stopped playing because of that.
Re: Best SEGA Games on PS5
Hard to argue with Royal at #1 but I say that's only if you didn't play vanilla before.
For me the #1 would be Infinite Wealth.
LADG: TMWEHN was also a big letdown, crazy that's it's ranking so high. I would put Lost Judgement over it any day.
My list would probably be:
#6 Metaphor: ReFantazio
#5 Like Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
#4 Like a Dragon: Yakuza
#3 Lost Judgement
#2 Persona 5 Royal
#1 Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
Re: Persona 4 Remake Inevitable as Voice Actor Mentions Project

He also voices another fairly important character in the game.
Re: Persona 4 Remake Inevitable as Voice Actor Mentions Project
Yosuke is probably one of my favorite characters in gaming. Sad to not have Yuri again.
Re: Persona 3 Reload DLC Sales Were 'Substantial', Despite Fan Backlash
It's always the same, the loud ones are just a minority. For good or for bad.
Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Shadows Co-Op Mode Still In Development, First Expansion Targets September
Amazing game, but I've already 100% it. Will go back when the DLC is out.
Valhalla's DLCs were really good.
Re: Oblivion Remastered Sales Prove the Power of Nostalgia and Shadow Drops
Great game, didn't run into any issues with it. Quest writing is infinitely better than Skyrim, especially side and guilds.
Re: Atomfall Sequel in Talks After 'Immediately Profitable' Launch, Says Rebellion
But it was and still is on Game Pass, surely that cannibalized its sales and couldn't have been a hit.
Re: Blades of Fire (PS5) - Steely Action with Blunt Art and Storytelling

He was indeed one of the most enjoyable parts of the show.
And oh, okay. My ***** being dumb.
Re: Poll: 10 Years Later, What Are Your Thoughts on The Witcher 3?
@BanFodder
First of all, is that freaking Yuri in your pfp?
Second, I have no idea what you mean by that. I never mentioned Nintendo or anything Nintendo-related. 😅
Re: Poll: 10 Years Later, What Are Your Thoughts on The Witcher 3?
10/10 no doubt about it. One of the best video games of all time.

Re: God of War Fans Are Still Demanding Remasters Of Kratos' Earlier Games
It's crazy that you can't play these games without a PS2 or PS3.
Sony is terrible with this stuff. I don't think modern Sony dares to do something like the old GoW games even if it's remastering them.
Re: 10 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for May 2025 Announced
Honestly a pretty good month. Except for Premium but that's nothing new.

Re: Mafia: The Old Country Ditches Open World for Linear, Story-Based Gameplay on PS5
Of course not every game needs to be an open world.
But at the same time not every game needs to be linear.
Glad for the people that like the news, I just lost all my interest.
