NOTHING. I AM PLAYING NOTHING.
Because I finally beat persona 4 golden and Im having a midgame..inbetween game crisis.
I think Im prepared to step back and respect peoples opinion of Persona 4 golden not being the best game in the series.
Its very distinct between Persona 3R and Persona 5R because its so much smaller in scope. Its got fewer playable characters, fewer things to do, a small town mystery and its far more of a visual novel than it is an RPG. I think someone could absolutely enjoy Persona 5 and not enjoy persona 4.
Im a little miffed, maybe at myself because I beat persona 4 golden a few years ago on Psvita and thought wow its so much shorter than P3R or P5R, only to replay it this last month and find out I missed a whole 3rd of the game. Until the other two which really only have a couple ending options, with P4G Theres two more entire storylines and dungeons, one of which is literally the actual end of the game youd miss if you didn't choose just the right dialog options. In a way Im kinda just mad because Im supposed to just casually be enjoying a game and they withhold major story content for not playing with a guide and completionist mindset. Thats just stressful and thats not why I play videogames.
Anyway I think I largely enjoyed it. If I had one reasonable complaint it would be that the dungeon "key" treasure chests in P4G are largely repetitive useless baubles where as in the other two, especially P3R all the chests had actual important equipment or Outfits. Towards the end of P4G I started skipping them because I just didn't care.
That and P4R has a lot of cringe horniness that genuinely made me uncomfortable even as a standard bog horny guy. I felt like the friendships in P3R could be relatively platonic where as P4G had a near constant press for ecchi.
Now Im torn, Im once again trying to tell myself "ok dude, do something productive or at least play a normal game" and yet the one on the other shoulder says "Whelp better restart Persona 5R even though you just recently complained about how massive and mindnumbingly long it is!"
