Just picked up a new sealed copy of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne for PS2. Weird in 2019 to open up a manual and see a registration card asking me what systems I own with checkboxes only for PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, XBox, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, and Game Boy Advance.

Also lol at this video I saw today. Get in here NASpurs, didn't you play old Persona games?

I feel like I'm being made fun of for playing those old games. It's not my fault that my main mission in the game is to every girl. You give me the option, Ill take it.

And that's the mother ing Nigerian prince whose emails go to my spam folder saying that if I send him money, I'll become a millionaire.

Come on man, you know I'm a huge Persona fan. I was just dying over that video, which is basically every SMT vs Persona argument ever.

I still think they should let you bang Sojiro in 5 though.

I'm actually not in that scene so I don't know much about the SMT vs Persona arguments. I always imagined there were two sides for liking one game over the other... kind of like Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and Bloodborne people.

SMT is like if you took all the social stuff out of Persona and only left the dungeon crawling, but made it way harder and changed the battle system to thoroughly punish missed, blocked, or reflected attacks. Also all the mainline SMT games take place in some dystopian version of Tokyo. Nocturne is funny as the world ends at the beginning of the game and you only survive because you were made into half man, half demon. Then you're supposed to build a new world but instead I killed god and let the world get overtaken by demons. Here's a quick preview of it (I couldn't find any reviews that weren't 20+ minutes )

Oh yeah, I definitely played SMT: Nocturne back in the day. I didn't play much of it (maybe like four hrs?) because at the time, I kept getting my ass handed to me in the dungeon crawling part. I remember getting overwhelmed with the fusion system and it just turned me off. It sounds stupid to say that nowadays when I played so much of Persona but back then that system just went over my head.

But yeah, I'll always be team Persona. I love the dungeon crawling but the story is top notch and I'm normally someone who just skips through stories of most games so to me, that says something about the superb story hooks that these games have.

So you got stuck on Matador? That's where everyone says this game.

[NASpurs]

seems familiar but you're asking me about a game that I played like 10+ years ago.

And the only reason I got into Persona 4 is because of the Giant Bomb dudes doing an Endurance Run back in '09. That is so good.

Sad seeing them and Bethesda both become garbage.

Sad to see Bethesda making games in 2023 using the Oblivion engine..

[baseline bum]

Speaking of Nocturne, I enjoyed your unboxing video for it ElNono

[leemajors]

Yo whats your psn

CH is master race

Thank you my , I still had hair back then

Damn DMC5 looks like it might be worth getting.

I think Morrowind was actually their first game with that engine.

[Joseph Kony]

Super hyped for it, tempted to pre-order it for PC but i think i'll wait to make sure it doesnt have a bunch of annoying bugs at launch

[baseline bum]

Had to fire up my old savefile for Nocturne again and doom the earth by killing god and then killing lucifer after. I forgot this ending to Nocturne is recreated with Nintendo characters in the Super Smash Bros Ultimate Intro, with Mario playing the part of the demifiend.

Which I guess makes sense since SMT has been a Nintedo exclusive series for ten years now.

Hey midnightpulp, I don't know if I have mentioned this to you, but since you sound like an enthusiast from that era you should check out the PSIO for playing PS1 roms off an SD card on the first model of PS1.

I believe you did. Probably will invest in one sooner or later, just to keep disc wear at a minimum. My usual go-to for PS1 playing is emulation on the PC (I rip my original CDs into ISOs) through ePSXe, which offers upscaled resolution and AA, making those games seem like HD remakes. But not all games run flawlessly, so this will be good to have.

Jesus Christ, Sigrun on GoW is ing hard. I'm all the way up to the point of no return as far as the end game is concerned, I have Kratos up to level 9 with a fully upgraded set of Nilfheim armor/epic enchantments/etc, and I'm barely able to get her close of half health before she kills me twice. Here I was thinking the Valkyries had gotten awfully easy with my current set up. I'm wondering if it's even worth it to continue trying this, or if I should just beat the game then return afterwards at an easier difficulty. I have nothing else to do other than hunt ravens and .

LMAO at the discless XBox One being named the XBox One S All Digital Edition.

No. Its worth beating her at the highest difficulty. In reality sigrun, is just a combination of all the valkyries move set so its just a matter of memorizing her patterns.

Tip: if shes in air and is about to make her move, just use atreus. I noticed most people struggled with in air.

baseline bum I finally understand your comparison of Yakuza to Streets of Rage.. It really is a super high resolution jap version of it w/ some Shenmue thrown in for good measure..
