Is the game worth buying for a poor person like me?

[Dao of Yakitori]

I have very little money and I have to make the most out of it. Will this game allow me to forget my problems?

[Ryu_Sheng]

nope. only vodka will do that

[Kore wa Senpai]

Its nice game so far but if you are poor i would really wait a bit. At least looking at P3R it may pretty quickly go down n price.

Probably. It's an Atlus JRPG so likely 100+ hours of content to distract yourself with. Probably not the most healthy way to approach your problems but not my place to judge. What the person above me said is true though especially with black Friday and the holidays around the corner the game probably will be on sale quite a bit in the next couple of months

100 hours of content sounds fun! I think I'll buy the game

If you like Atlus games yes, but as someone that has played many dozens and hundred+ hour games of theirs - do not be tricked by the 100 hours of content fun meme.

I assure you, a lot of those hours aren't going to be all that fun. There are better games for the dollar if all you care about is how much hours you will get lol. Being told a game is 100 hours, A STORY FOCUSED GAME AT THAT, I hear that it sounds bloated and slow and they add more side stories because they are unable to write a well focused game.

Yes, this game replace every need that you have :)

[hush]

i'm poor and i think its worth it

[Marz]

play the demo first... if it appeals to you then think about buying it afterwards.

I'd disagree, I rarely find the story content in Atlus games to drag, partially because their story heavy games heavily revolve around subplots. But not everybody will enjoy that, and their dungeon crawler design is also not to everybody's tastes (those buff spells actually matter, and a big part is working out elemental weaknesses)/

But aside from the hundredish hours of story content, the other advantage to this game is it runs well on even decade old machines. It's significantly less resource intensive than most modern games, and that's really useful if you're on a tight budget,

I would say it's definitely most worth it. If you are a fan of JRPG's and turn bases strategy combat then I would say it is definitely an investment. It comes with over 100 hours of the main story and over 200 side quests based on some articles I have read. I would say try the demo, progress carries over!

[Vaigrant]

If this is the one game you can afford to buy for a whie, Id say its possibly worth it.

But I would urge you to try out the demo, its free and has about 10 or so hours(Possibly more if you game the systems to have near infinite MP regen in a dungeon) of content to cover to give you a fairly good taste of what the game has to offer.

Financial security is overrated. Epic gaming experiences are forever.

[Ograus]

limited funds, a problem for an incrasing number of gamers,
even more with the greed of some companies getting to absurder levels basically every day
and no,
inflation is not an argument here, since games sold as phys copies, maybe even cartridges with "digital distribution" are not comparable
nor in terms of cost and risks for companies
neither in value fopr the customers/gamers
even less with "revokable licnses" aka "give us your rmoney, but we are free to take away what you paid for, whenever we desire to do so"
basically reducing the equivalent for the paid price to to zero beyond playing time, compared to a phys copy"

the result is: "it is all abput (good quality/fun) playing time
for a gamer it means more then ever "minmaxing"-> best bang for the buck
- prefer games that offer a maximum of "good quality playing time"
- prefer to buy "completed games" (see what happened with the persona 3 remake or games that even got multiple expansions/season-passes)
- wait for price reductions and/or sales
- prefer games from devs/companies who do not treat customers as dairy cows
- ...

100$ before taxes in Canada combined with DRM and you do not even own the game should tell you all that you need to know if you're seriously considering buying this over priced garbage

[moshiwakeda]

Plenty of other games to play. But if you're poor then you should probably save your money for essential things like food and shelter
