Damn shame,
What happened?

Also just heard of #savenelly on twitter
My thing is, you know, you have to enter onto the scene one way. People like Muhammad Ali and Bill Russell, they were one way their whole career. You can’t show us something, and then go to another, just because of certain issues. I’m aware of all the issues, but my question is, how come you didn’t do it last year, or how come you didn’t do it when you first entered the NFL…it’s his constitutional right to do that, but I would never do that.”
inb4 "the game was held back by the PS3" comments

Persona 5 is going to disappoint people.

It's flashy and stylish enough. People conflate the otherness and style adoption as compelling content more and more these days. Previous Persona games didn't have the kind of substance to sustain me, although I found the way that they dressed them up appealing.
Like perusing a local Famima's shelves, when all you want are the scratch offs and Onigiri up front at the counter.
It'll be easy to excuse its shortcomings when people have preempted criticism by placing it into a category all its own.

but... it's Persona

doesn't strike me as a series that is about pushing technical boundaries

it's more about getting by on its style and characters

Yep
going even back to the first two persona games. They were carried by the story and characters.

3 brought the slick style and aesthetics that the series is now known for and did it when the ps2 was already heading out the door.

That's just the dumbest shit. White folks have never had a problem being entertained by or having sex with us. It's whenever we remind them that we're human beings with wills of our own and not just toys for them to play with that they get pissed off. Having even just a small passing knowledge of our history should tell him that.

Lots of black celebs have really been showing their asses lately.

Ahh, i needed the reminder that stupid people do stupid shit.

These dudes are celebrated, not because of their intellectual accomplishments, but because one is 7 foot and dunks well and the other raps well. Not because of logic and reason.

Stupid answers all around and i wouldn't give them extra credit for their other accomplishments.
 

Zekes!

I got Dragon Quest and SMT this month so busy will I be



Don't like Persona, but whenever I hear criticism of the tropes in japanese games I eyeroll so hard.

Damn SMT is out this month too? Shit I ain't got the money! I feel better about just getting Dragon Quest VII as I stoped playing SMTIV pretty earlier on when you go to the surface

Tropes i can deal will, but Arthurian based sword and sorcery is done beyond death.

Agreed. So many other time periods and settings yet we keep doing the same shit over and over again.

One of the number of reasons that Ubisoft does deserve some props for Assassin's Creed.
