This Kotaku review makes it sound really good. Is it better than Persona 3?
Yeah, the opening is, it isn't even close. Also, I'd like to reiterate that anyone who makes a game without save anywhere should be killed. Haha, "ruins tension," "i can't be trusted to not go two seconds and then quicksave," "whatever other horrible argument SA goons use," no, seriously, they should be fucking killed.
It's 2:02 AM last night and I want to play a little of this game before I go to bed. I was optimistically hoping I could get ten minutes in and call it a night.
The kids are about to go into the TV again, and we see that stupid weeble wobble, and everyone connects the obvious dots about people getting murdered. I'm like, surely, one fight and I'm back out.
Well, we find the mirror image of Yousuke. And I'll give the game credit: at 2:20 in the morning, mirror-Yosuke with the fucked-up eyes was a neat little effect. Leading up to it, where the girl he is sweet on does the "pain in the ass" routine, that was actually a good scene with okay writing in a video game, which is pretty rare. So, things were good. The fight drags on, and now it's like a quarter to three and I really wanted to get to sleep.
Everybody finishes up, the one girl, Chie or whatnot, gets all pissed and runs away, and it looks like I am going to be able to save.
But then, boom, out of nowhere, is the pretty brunette girl dropping in and making an appearance with (back of hand to forehead) how horrible her life is, having to run a hotel. ALL I WANT TO DO IS GO TO BED and there's that difficult bitch deigning to talk to my dude, whining about her stupid shit and life problems, but at the same time, she was more difficult to get to know because she's not around all the time, which makes her automatically more interesting than any other girl in the game so far.
It was the realistic experience I've ever seen in a video game. I'll give the P4 guys credit for this one. It seems to be a great game. But from here on out I'm treating it like a mogwai, there's no way I'm fucking around with it after midnight.
