I did all I ever wanted in those games and I don't like fanmodded content, so no reason for me to go back yet. Maybe in 5-10 years as a nostalgia trip...
@DeathlySW : Well, you can always look up the last scenes on YouTube, if you can't bring yourself to play the last fight. I do that with most games, where I loose interest in the gameplay, but still wanna see the story conclusion (:
I just hope the final part isn't so unnecessarily big and bloated. Took me over 100 hours to beat Part 2 -.-' after 50 hours I was already mentally done with this game
Played through it with a wizard at launch. Since then it didn't really grab me. Maybe in a couple years with my couch coop buddy..
Such a waste not to include couch coop with Diablo 2. That game is still the best of the bunch. Would have played it to hell and back with my best friend-.-'
Still have to play Divinity 2 and a bunch of other games before this. Isn't the game already massive on content? Anyway it's more exciting to see what they come up with next than DLC, at least for me
Well I like killing NPC as much as the next guy, but by the time I get to this game, all the little problems with the game should be patched anyway.......might still do it though if there's XP to be had xD
They've been doing stuff like this for quite a while now. With every new release they did something a little more egregious. Probably trying to feel out what they can get away with.
I'd say they are getting a little out of hand. This'll probably end in an outcry, a boycott, review bombing or the like soon. I can see them walking back certain future pricing models some time this or next year if this continues.
Wow, I'll never understand how people can get so worked up over the opinion of some random stranger on the internet xD anyway I'm not sure if I'm gonna buy the game yet, but if I do I'll be sure to tit the...ah I mean TILT the camera every now and again^^
@CutchuSlow Same thing for me. Trailers reveal way too much in my opinion.
And yeah I know the feeling of buying a game and finding out that it's just not for me...or straight up bad. So far I've always been to lazy to request a refund though. Sometimes it works in my favor where I download the game a couple years later and suddenly enjoy it. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood for certain games.
@Ryne-Gaia I think they'd need to focus a bit more on their presentation. Persona is a great game, but it can't be understated how much attention they got for their flashy UI and stylised graphics. Trails would need something unique of their own to stand out. It's also more difficult to get into Trails with their continuous story across all their games. People do stick with it once they get started ('cause the games are excellent) but getting them to try is another matter.
To cut things short, I think they have a long road ahead of them to really break into the mainstream.. I wish them luck
I do like my women sexy in games and free costumes are always nice, but gameplay comes first. I'll wait for some reviews and let's play before I make a decision.
@Ryne-Gaia: I wouldn't know but a quick google search shows me 7 million a year ago. So with the slowly rising popularity and three new release since that year I'd guess a little less than 10 million by now.
However I only care about sales as far as it being viable for them to release their games to the west.
@DragonBl : I'm not disputing that. Still only a couple games VS the whole SMT series, which would add at the very least another 10-20 mill. Not that it matters, but it is still doesn't make it a good comparison.
@Cloud39472 : If you don't like the artstyle don't force yourself. Sometimes it's worth though to get over certain humps. I for one am very glad I did. Nothing sits higher on my list since I started that series.
@Darylb88 Damn, you're right. Thanks for the heads up. So all is not well for me anymore-.-' This means no media blackout about this game for me anymore and waiting for reviews beforce making a decision. Still probably gonna buy it at some point anyway though....still hoping it won't be as tedious with months of nothing worthwhile to do...
Well, it's the insides that count, right? I'll take these kinds of games any day over some safe big budget games. I'm always pleasantly surprised by the new mechanics/ideas/innovations and risks smaller games tend to make^^
I don't usually care much for demos, but I can't get a feel for the gameplay from the videos about this game at all, so I'm gonna see for myself if I can live with this seemingly action-tactics hybrid.
@Cloud39472 Just my opinion. I'm sure you're not alone with yours^^ I do wish we had a MC with an actual personality though...I'm getting a liiittle tired of the whole "silent protagonist" kind of thing with all the SMT games. Maybe Metaphor ReFantazio will have a MC with an actual personality. One can hope..

Re: Upcoming Sea of Stars Update Adds Local Co-Op in a New Mode
When the game is completely done upgrading and story-expanding I'll probably play it again with this mode in 2-3 years.
Re: Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis Will Be Locked Behind Expansion Pass

I'll probably watch someone else play it, just to be 100% done with it xD

Re: Sounds Like PS5's Stellar Blade Will Be Playing Dress Up Long After Launch

Re: Could SMT 5: Vengeance Be the Long-Awaited PS5, PS4 Port?
Didn't like the main character. He looks so stupid. Worlds were also quite empty if I remember correctly. Would probably buy it again on PS5 though xD
