Whatever, just wash your hands.
Total War warhammer 40k looks kinda neat, but I still have to go DOW 4 first.

All we got for Persona 5 at one time was a bunch of chairs with ball-and-chains.

Weird how Switch isn't shown in the platform logos at the end though.
I wouldn't know, I only really got into Persona when it came to steam since P3 ate my save on my memory card back in the day on the ps2.

The green combined with the tower legitimately makes me wonder if we're going back to Tartarus from Persona 3.

Knock yourself out.

Funny how their tagline about being a slave and seeking emancipation only really seems relevent at the last minute of the game.

I'd say that's when it's the most blatant, but pretty much the entire game is the Phantom Thieves responding to "that's just how society is" with "But why does it have to be that way?", which is a form of emancipation of thought.

To add to this, the school where the game primarily takes place, Shujin[ 秀尽 ] Academy, is a pun on the Japanese word for 'prisoner'[ 囚人 ], pronounced the same way. This has been confirmed as deliberate.

What is wrong with these people? They have decades of good punk rock to choose from and yet the entire series is just the same songs over and over. Way to make your series irrelevant.

It should have been so easy to make new maps, but no, it has to be another fucking remake. MMO would concern me too, if the prospect of playing the same map didn't turn me off completely.

I really don't like the green fire under the tires.

I wanted a true sequel since the Dreamcast era. I like to say that we should have had fifteen Crazy Taxi games by now, because of how simply (and fun) the formula is. Not this.

Cause Offspring is Crazy Taxi and if you think different you are just wrong.

Only because the cowards musically rested on their laurels with every sequel. Try that with any other series.

I replaced the new music and voices with the old, before Dreamcast emulation became good enough for me to drop the PC version. The original is totally The Offspring and Bad Religion for me. The sequels did not have to be.

Yeah, like I thought, another dodge spam game. It's incredible how all devs make the same action games. I wanted more of Control's fun gunplay, not another dodge spam game.

I think the gloom will get tiresome. Look at the short "Beyond" in The Animatrix. The program goes haywire, glitches out, similar to this, but the colors are bright. There's sunlight and green.

Although, they could pick other songs from The Offspring and Bad Religion. Pure cowardice. Falling back on nothing but nostalgia.

Said by the guy blinded by nostalgia, and is constantly lamenting about any new game not like the games from his precious childhood and teenagehood.
Most of the games I praise I first played as an adult. In the last three years off the top of my head, Super Metroid, Ape Escape 1, Spyro, Tomb Raider III, Tomb Raider '96, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Doom '93, A Link to the Past, Super Hang-On, Half-Life, Deus Ex, all praiseworthy and all played through for the first time. Even Streets of Rage 2, which I so often bring up, I only first played maybe eleven years ago. Your "nostalgia" tactic is so weak.

Still can't enjoy anything new for crap, and can't enjoy shit, unless under some dumb and arbitrary rules you want. Glad you never made into the game design business. You would not make it far. Everything sounds like a you problem and you can't deal with it properly.
