This game is not worth 60 bucks.

**disclaimer because y'all some wolves**
It aint a bad game. It really isn't. I bought this twice if anything. it's fun but it aint worth a triple A price, even with my opinion thrown away. It's a pc port with no anti aliasing capped at 60 fps with reused assets. Atlus has sold their spinoffs at a cheaper price before as well. Y'all can't complain about getting milked when you're gonna pay for a full price of a game. It's a 20 dollar bandai namco beat em up hack and slash at best.
They've sold their spinoffs less than 60 dollars before at msrp. Instead of blindly defending a game that makes you happy, which is valid, as fans typically you should be critical of what Atlus is producing, a blind sheep's complacency allows companies to get away with ♥♥♥♥ like this. And saying ♥♥♥♥ like oh the port was an afterthought, yeah shouldn't people even be more angry that as fans they're being mistreated?
Let alone the terrible implimentation of Denuvo, which basically gives you a super rootkit into your system. So you're paying 60 dollars, a triple AAA price for a non triple A decent spin off that comes packed with pc stds.
Also, this cannot be belabored enough: this is not a musou game. This is blatant misinformation. Your hesitation in playing it is exactly why I keep stressing this point. This game was originally going to be Persona Musou, but it eventually became an Action RPG - which is what the game has always been officially marketed as. Musou DNA is present due to the game's engine, and it shares similar combo strings (though as I have said before, this is more so a trait of basic hack n slash than "musou.") While each character has similar inputs, their playstyles and what they offer is very different.

Make no mistake, if you play this game like a musou: you will die. This game is much more similar to Kingdom Hearts or YS than it is any musou. You must approach it as if it is legitimately Persona 5 but with real time combat. You will constantly be exploiting enemy weaknesses, making use of technicals along with buffs and debuffs along the way. You must be aware of your elemental affinities at all times, as you will get one-shot. You will continually revolve around which character is best apt for whatever situation the game throws at you.

The art and animations for all the characters and personas are enough for me to pay that much. Not to mention they put it all together in a game. This is probably one of the best budget to output ratios in a game in a long time. One of Omega Force's best outings of all time. Bandai Namco doesn't even have anything to do with it.

ok?

[cashonlyfatal]

Ummmmmmmm NO... Big no

[Geist]

That is a weird take but okay.

$20 is way too low. I would be somewhat understanding if you said $40 at minimum.

square enix's own triple A tomb raider can be bought under 60 bucks. 60 dollars should be something for a triple A title. They're milking p5 to hell and back

Excusing the fact that this is the fourth time that they are milking fans for a spin-off at triple AAA value, anyone who pays more than $20 is getting scammed, to be honest. You are literally paying $60 bucks for a bootleg dynasty warriors seeing as they barely add anything significant to the persona 5 plot let alone something worth $60.

genshin impact is no where near DMC5 though. genshin impact has many element from many games. what I'm trying to say you can't compare both games with each others.

Barely add anything to the plot? Have you even played Strikers? Many reviewers are saying that this is a true sequel to the original game because it adds a substantial amount to the story. I'm finding the gameplay a ton of fun, though I've never played Dynasty Warriors.

If you don't like it, fine. Everyone's got their own opinions. With the way you're over-exaggerating though, it seems like you haven't even played the game at all.

Where the hell did you pull $20 from? This is a full sequel to a great game and it's only just been localised so I can see why they charge full price for it, $20 is just dumb.

And I agree on the Musou part, it's only part-musou. Still doesn't matter though when the game is pretty damn fun.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider came out in 2018 and DMC5 came out in 2019. Of course you can find both of those games for significantly cheaper now. P5S launched in the West just last week, so it's brand new for us.

Also, $60 is the standard price for new titles from big name IPs, so why do you expect Persona to be different? Not to mention that this is a full sequel to the original game which is canon and adds to the story, unlike Persona 5 Dancing which was just a short rhythm game.

I dunno, if you don't like the price then don't buy it? I don't really even see what's your argument against this game's asking price. All you say is that "it's a 20 dollar bandai namco beat em up hack and slash at best" but that makes zero sense if you don't mention a game you're comparing it to. Even then, this game doesn't feel like a cheap hack and slash game. A cheap hack-and-slash game would be something like the Fate games. Strikers, on the other hand, has way more variety in its combat. Granted, it's nowhere near the level of DMC. However, it is still a lot of fun.

$76.76 for me.
I can live without playing this.
I won't try it even if it's free afterwards.

Barely adds anything significant to the plot? I can tell you haven't played the game. It adds a whole ton. Not only does it further dive into a ton of the casts backstories, we learn even more about them. It adds a whole new type of metaverse area they've never encountered anything similar to. It adds in several new main characters who feel right at home with the series and you won't be able to imagine Persona 5 without. Opinions are one thing, but saying that Strikers adds nothing of significance to Persona 5 is incorrect. This game is a full sequel to 5.

Whether you feel it's worth 60 bucks or not is a different story, that's your money.
