Persona 5 Spoiler Free Early Impressions Thread

I'm cancelling my preorder if the game gets a metascore below Breath of the Wild (97)

I'm getting this game even if the metascore is 40
 
Anything below 99 and i'll burn my CE on camera

You should be careful, I think it has that very dangerous steelbook cover because of which Amazon preorders were canceled. You might be the reason the human race goes extinct then. -While one could argue that Atlus is at fault for not creating a 99+ MC-Game of course.
 
When is the embargo ?

40 hours in and I'm going to say that it'll settle in the high 8s.

Also, anyone else having sporadic connection errors on the poll screens since last night? Started happening out of nowhere for me. It lets me continue playing afterwards but it was getting kinda annoying lol

No connections issues for me! ~50 hours in.

Nah everything was working fine, though I only started playing around 11pm est. So it might have happened earlier. But during the weekend it was fine.
 
Little high? do I need to remind you of this

If Yoko Taro and Guerrilla Games's last effort are at 89 meta, then I don't see how 86 for Persona 5 is aiming little high.

I will be shocked if it's lower than 89.

P3P was 7 years ago. Metacritic scores for higher-end games have trended down a few points since then.
 
Hope this does so well they will have no choice but to HD P3 & P4. Why they haven't done this is beyond me. Sounds like easy sells to me.
 
You are getting Radiant Historia and Strange Journey on 3DS and you are going to like it.

Don't buy it. They don't even have to do it themselves, they can get bluepoint or hexadrive or a cheaper company to do it. Up rezzing PS2 games doesn't really look that difficult.

They could also port their games to PC or create definitive version of P3 or remaster Persona 2 duology. Yet here we are...
 
I know the game is gonna do well review wise, I've been anticipating it for years and got it preordered.
However, I wanna see one or two low scores because the online meltdowns will be really entertaining.
 
Need to cancel my preorder ASAP now, first the 8 from Edge and now the 8 from Revolutionary!

How do you cancel preorders by the way? I've never preordered anything but Persona 5 up until now.
Honestly, that not enough. You should throw your PS4 off a roof and send the clip to Atlus USA/JP.

Last night, I started getting an error message at the end of every night cycle, but the results from other player button works fine.
 
Anyone been playing with a social link walkthrough? I played through Persona 4 years ago but had to use one since it bothered me not furthering all my relationships. Part of me wants to go through this game completely blind on that stuff but the "see everything" part of my mind is really getting at me.

lol, I meant to say in the high 8s. Like 85-89.

It started happening in the AM EST for me.

Yes, this is exactly what I was experiencing. Glad it wasn't just me.

First time should be guide free. New game plus onwards is when you should pull a guide out. If it's anything like persona4G then it will be a very strict day to day guide which can ruin the relax vibe the game usually offers.
 
P3P was 7 years ago. Metacritic scores for higher-end games have trended down a few points since then.

Zelda and GTA seem to be exceptions to this. And as good as those games are, I feel they are given additional leeway. I can't speak for the new Zelda, since I haven't played it yet, but I feel that about GTA V.
 
Quick general question about dungeons/bosses, I'll spoiler it just in case but it shouldn't really be a spoiler:

After beating the boss of a dungeon, are you able to still explore it? Or are you immediately kicked out? I missed some locked chests and stuff in the first dungeon my first time through and so I want to get them when I go in to fight the boss, but I don't want to waste sp and stuff re-exploring and then not have enough gas to kill the boss, so I was hoping to beat the boss and then go back and get the stuff with my remaining SP stock

As far as I know, they're gone for good once your beat the boss.

My greediness is not a huge fan of this change.
 
I've got the Review Thread made, formatted, and ready to go. All that's left is to click post. Hoping for 95, but it'll get more reviews than P4G so it could go either way.
 
I'm playing on hard and it seems like it takes forever to level up, is it any different on other difficulties?
Also, mp seems really limited, then again, I'm still on the first palace so maybe because I'm low leveled.
