didn't see that, thanks.

Anytime, feel free to message me if you got anymore questions.

If you want to complete all social links and get your stats to max on your first play through, you HAVE to use a guide because there's a lot of things you won't know. Also, i have never experienced a social link regress but from what i've looked up, it's mainly if you don't hang out with them from 60 - 90 days. But if you max them they will never go down. Also, if you plan on dating all the girls, do NOT date them all at the same time, you can Max social link one, then go onto the next social link to max that girl.

Game Name: Persona 5 Platform: PS3 PS4 Time Spent: (A rough estimate is fine if the game doesn't track it) 83 Hours and 54 minutes in 1 playthrough on easy Currently playing through again on Merciless. Do you recommend? Yes What you rate the game: (1 to 10) 9.8 Initial Thoughts: As you guys already know, i love the persona series and i was incredibly excited for the game. I had preordered this game back in late October to get my hands on it in February. Sadly it got delayed for 2 months and released in April, and i will tell you right now, it was well worth the wait. First of all, this game was supposed to be released back in winter of 2014 but kept being delayed and delayed. I cannot possibly imagine how fans of 3 and 4 when those games were released must have been feeling all this time. Pros: (At least 2 reasons) Now first of all, the gameplay of this game is phenomenal It's the best the series has ever had. Your MC soon forms a group with his friends called the Phantom Thieves and if you think thieves, you think stealth. This is completely true in this game as the game dungeons are fantastic. First of all, they are light years better looking then Persona 3 and 4. As you can see via the screen shots, these areas are incredibly detailed. You venture through these "Palaces" To steal the hearts of adults who have committed horrible crimes. Each palace has puzzles and has a large emphasis on stealth. You must venture through the palaces to steal each the "treasure" of the leader of palace. You also climb walls and leap across platforms to get across obstacles. It's very ambitious and it payed off incredibly well. Another positive is the fantastic story. This is definitely the best story out when you compare 3, 4 and 5. The developers wanted to get into a more dreary story like that of the original persona series and the Shin megami tensei series and it really shows on the villains. It also is fun to see the phantom thieves escalate further and further with the more they help people Another positive, is there is so much to do and you definitely get your money's worth when it comes to length of the game. I completed the game on easy, in over 80 hours, meaning you if you play on normal you will more than likely get 100 hours out of this game. There are many activites outside of just combat and social links, batting cages, video games, stat building (which was in 3 and 4) in many different ways. Not only does this game have Palaces, but if you liked the scaling of tartarus in P3 or the climbing of floors in P4, P5 has you covered as it has it's own dungeon called mementos. While it's not as vast as tartarus or as beautiful as the dungeons in P5, it's nice to have a whole new area to explore with over 50 floors. The characters are also great. While not as good as persona 4 in my opinion, they are better than 3's and they are all very well defined and written teenagers that each have a story and dilemma that is addressed in their respective social links. Haru is probably the weakest but i suppose that's to be expected since shes the last party member you get. Some might be a bit annoyed with Ryuji at times with his dialog, and i will admit, it can be a little annoying especially with the English voice. However, if you can stand English voice acting, just download the free voice pack to get the Japanese dub however you will miss some side dialog. Also, there have been complaints about certain dialoug such as "Salty" and other hip young lingos the kids use these days but they aren't so bad. However i did slap my face when i read bellow. Also Futaba is cute as fuck. As i mentioned before the environments of the palaces are fantastic. However outside of the palaces are just as amazing. Walking around the city with a bunch of people walking by, crowded and cramped really feels like a city and there are multiple parts of cities, and each look beautiful. Atlus really makes use of the Ps3's and Ps4's power demonstrating how beautiful the city can be sometimes. Cons: (At least 2 reasons). There are some cons. As i mentioned in my previous reviews of P3 and P4, the music in the games are fantastic. Unfortunately, the soundtrack in my opinion, is very disappointing. P3 and P4 each had music that i can instantly remember when that piece plays and i actually found my self listening to these songs outside of the game as well. P5 doesn't really have any aside from the theme and a few other gems but when you compare it to P4 and 3, it really is lacking. P3 had iconic songs such as Mass Destruction, Burn My Dread, the station songs while P4 had Your Affection, Shadow World, It's time to make history and so on. I honestly can't even remember the names of P5s songs. This isn't to say it's a bad soundtrack, it serves it's purpose and it sounds fine, however P3 and P4's soundtrack sound perfect for each respective game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATcKBMYYSJs Another con i have is that there isn't really many outdoor trips that you and your companions take that actually feel like you and your companions grow as friends. There are some celebrations like when a party member is recruited or when a mission is accomplished but those don't really go into detail, the only one that does is when you complete the second palace. There is the Hawaii trip but that felt like a little bit of a waste of time. The trip to the beach though was a fun experience but Persona 4 Golden had the camping trip, the school festival, the ski trip, the fireworks show and so on. Persona 3, had the trip to Kyoto, the island trip (which was more interactive then persona 5's trips) as well as a few funny voiced scenes showing a different side of each of your party members. Final Thoughts: In the end, Persona 5 is a fantastic game. It was well worth the wait, the added difficulty to the game is very well appreciated as even on hard in Persona 4 Golden, it got a little easy at points because of certain cheese tactics. Not saying there isn't anything like that here, but later in the game you see stronger enemies who hit hard and have hardly any weaknesses and while you can farm, you have to be careful of certain things. Status effects in this game for example are a nightmare. They hit so much more often then they did in P3 and P4 that it can be very frustrating. For example, in the first Palace, Sucubus has the ability to use Marin Karin, which they changed it to have a high chance to inflict charm. One shadow ambushed me and i was surrounded, meaning the 4 succubus went first. They all caste Marin Karin and each member of my party of 4 was hit and eventually died and had to reload. Rage, hunger, charm, fear, and so on feel like they hit often, so be sure to bring your meds and characters that cure such problems. While i do like persona 4 more then 5 in certain aspects. There is no denying that the gameplay of this game is phenomenal and you will not be bored. In the end, this game is a perfect example of how much people put hard work into video games. The details of the Personas, the story, the characters and gameplay completely outshine anything negative about this game. Thank you for reading. This will be my last persona review for awhile. Stay tuned for something else. Futaba is best girl

No need to be so rude bro, i don't see anything wrong really with what they said, they just wanted something clarrified that reiki said that's pretty hurtful. Does he have every right to make a member submission? Yes, but everyone else has the right to point out the problems this individual conveyed. Throwing insults at others because they have a point and want it explained is sad. Also with that said, I've had problems in the past with reiki past but i do agree he has improved. I wouldn't mind him being a member, but i want Reiki to understand that what he says has consequences. +1 A:8 M:7

Yes. It got 2 animes, 2 fighting games, 1 spin off cross over game with persona 3 based on another game series. The game was called persona q (which was great by the way), and a rythem game. I watched and played all listed except for the dancing game cause I'm very shit at rythem games.

And? They were technically correct but that doesn't mean i change my stance on why i didn't want it on the server because as you quoted i don't think it's quite gaming but others view it differently which is why it's still argued. But there is also a problem of having too many maps, again some not ever played and some that are partially broken. How can you call it variety when more than half of them are never played or touched. I'm not saying remove half the list i'm saying that if there are complaints enough some should be removed that's why there are votes. Looks like i won't change your mine. go ahead and close the thread if you want.

That's why we have a voting system. The problem with having so many maps is that you become overwhelmed with the choices and that there are too many. And thus we should try down sizing it. I never understood the "more maps more variety" but the problem is that half of them are never played, some are even broken. Also, i have seen complaints about this map today and there is no reason not to have a vote on the subject. It's silly to say we aren't going to remove a map because "there are worst maps". If a majority of people want the map gone then it should be considered to be removed. You can use edventures as an example and as much as i hate this argument, it did technically have a game and it was based off the game but was removed because of it's unpopularity as well as it's other problems (such as disabling certain buttons on the map). I mean it gets to the point of when are there too many maps?

but it still has a mini game and a lot of people like to hang out in there to escape the spawn camping and is still a lot about mario. It's also a secret. Same with that map that has world 1 of mario 64. Also i had no idea the map was based off a game. The map its self is incredibly poorly made.

Ah, Thanks for clearing that up. However, i still think we should get rid of it. The map its self is shit still.

Why are you getting so aggravated? I think you should calm down. No need to be so rude. Also What are the other reasons though? I mean it seems to be stretching it And as others have said, the other maps have actual gaming areas. Comparing a small church to a large area is silly. Also idk how having some glaceons in a church makes it automatically gaming. How is that a reason it's not gaming history though? I'm sorry but they are still large areas you can get to on your own, and even then you can clearly seem them via spectate.

except there are other reasons why it should be removed? Please address the bad platforming and give a reason why it's gaming related other than missable glaceon stars.

Not sure why the map is even on the server. It's not video games, and it's awful. It's really frustrating with the platforming and snipers hanging around in both of their spawns, shooting at each other back in forth is really annoying. It's also not very pleasent to look at.

Congrats at all to those promoted Especially @virr and @Sesh You guys are fantastic members, i wouldn't have wanted anybody else in the positions you guys are in. I know you guys will do a great job.

I believe Seananners also joined the Gmod server and freekilled, then when he uploaded it, others went on the same servers and RDMed over and over, for him. They even said it in the comments. of the video, i can't remember which one it was though. Why are youtube e-celebs such condescending cunts?

@Pepper fix it you fuck

I'm not vertex :(

Honestly, i don't see why you couldn't just lower the requirements to like 2 +1s and not 7 plus an admin (at least for TF2). I honestly don't see how getting 2 members to +1 it is hard. A few times, i have seen people join not even be that much of a conversationalist and still get the vouches because they are active on the server and they see them a lot. Even two vouches seems to be fair because if you wish to join xG, it should take some part on the other person's end to get to know the community. a bunch of new members is fine, but what happens when people try to join the clan under a different name then what is recognized on the servers? For example. Say User A, was is a little bit of a jerk to the point where you can justify a -1, he can theoretically get in because some people just don't pay attention to the member submission, since it's lower down on the website. another concern of mine is that it makes it much harder to tell who is and who isn't in xG with the large amount of member requests that will theoretically be made. I don't know, i think it's just a very dramatic change, could it work? Sure, but i guess my concerns are about what could happen. I'm not sure what the community in CS:GO is like but there are a lot of silly people in TF2. Also i'm just a little concerned about dividing members between Juniors and Seniors. It makes me feel that there is gonna be a sense of superiority over people who haven't been here or who aren't that active on forums. I honestly think that we are all xG members, and just adding junior and senior might be a bit confusing or breed some unforeseen shit-posting. Trust me, I've been on other forums who have had problems like that where people fought over post count and other similar things. (Muthead.com being one of the worst offenders despite being a very informative website) EDIT: also why don't we move the membership forum up on the website? As i mentioned before member submissions are at the bottom of the website, if you wanna push member applications, why not make an advertisement on the website AND move the members section up more and move some of the lesser used forms lower? @Aegean

I had a long talk yesterday with kiriy and he hasn't changed. He still blames others for his mistakes and throws a fit when an admins does something. I went to have a long talk with him but after i gave my opinion on why a situation in which he had a problem, didn't warrent for his fit, he proceeded to remove me. He thinks the world is against him and at times, i still see him complaining about the servers. I have no doubt kiriy can be a good member and i understand he has some anger issues but it's no excuse for doing it over and over again. He has 11 mutes and 2 bans, they all include complaining about dying and being disrespectful. Kiriy, this isn't a means to attack you nor is it meant to discourage you. You need to try harder when it comes to your problems. You also need to be aware that not everyone is out to get you. If you honestly don't believe me that staff are here to help then i'm sorry. I'm here to help you and so are other mods, but right now i'm gonna have to -1 until i see a dramatic change. M:3 A:7

Sadly i have to agree with caribou, cark, and goodra. You're very active but everytime i'm on the server i have to pay close attention to you because you are borderline breaking rules and it leans on the disrespectful side. A:8 M:4 I don't see how you can't improve so this could change but just cool it on the servers. -1

We did it reddit

Grats @Isabelle and @Sylux very well deserved. (Late) and @BonfireCentipede

I hate april fools day.
