The head shot gimmick..

[CourtJesterCowboy]

Idk.. I never played P3, so I was like "Oh, cool, they do a little emotional sui ciding to unlock their personas in the beginning, nice!"... but they really just head shot the whole game? Really?

It's because they need an emotional jolt to summon their personas. They know it's not a real gun but putting it to the head and pulling the trigger is still nerve wrecking since it looks and feel so real. That's why they do it. Emotional jolting.

EDIT: Never mind I misread your post and thought you were asking why they did it, My bad.

You played the whole game and don't know why they do it?

Do you lack reading comprehension or did you just choose to skip all the cutscenes and dialogue?

The actual question is if you think the P3 squad would have killed the Justice League better as the real Suicide Squad.

They need an emotional jolt several times a battles for 100 hours of gameplay? Its a bit silly, regardless of explanation... Like a new character discovers their Persona and "activates" it, then moving forward they have it.. Now that would actually make sense. It just feels silly imo after the 4000th emotional surge headshot

Real hardcore gamers only use weapon attacks. Have you seen every character's persona summoning animation? Congratulations, you're a confirmed casual, I'll bet you play on normal also.

Is this a game vs game or characters vs characters scenario, because objectively, I think Persona takes the win on both?

GAME: That Suicide Squad game looks like the 800th mid hero game with some alright areas of modernity, like in the voice acting and cut scenes, to carry it. I likely will never play it unless its $5/moddable/shows up on Gamepass, and from what I've seen, just has mid music, mid gun play, mid everything really. And the whole "SS: kill the Justice League" gimmick? Idk, I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist in all of history of DC mainline canon. Every once in awhile they do a little shocker side story for quick attention and cash, where the supposed iconic and formidable force that is the Justice League, somehow is defeated or removed.

CHARACTERS: As for characters though, The Suicide squad has never been much and will always rely on the story-writer to create unrealistic victories. I saw the first movie years back and maybe a comic or two. Their powers are basically boosted strength, combat/scientific/tactical prowess, and marksmanship.. Stuff that is pretty basic. With P3 SEES, we are talking about personified monstrosities that hold all sorts of supernatural powers, even insta death moves and the like. It really is not even comparable.

TLDR: Objectively P3 SEES would delete The Suicide Squad or even the Justice League from raw supernatural/magic moves and the versatility to swap Personas and exploit anything. There are Personas that deliver instant death, and revival abilities, and at that point its just silly to compare. Any of these type of fights between alternate universe characters will always have an outcome dictated by a biased story writer. Objectively any character(s) with an obvious advantage(s) would take the victory.

Real gamers toggle god mode insta kill game speed x5 on WeMod and just skip the filler combat for the story... Congrats, you are a certified super casual
