This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Make him play Digital Devil Saga if he wants a game

Oh no.

"Wait, it's all visual novels?"

My wife and I recently started our first playthrough. We're mostly interested in the story and style and I don't want to deal with any bullshit difficulty spikes, so we set it to Safe Mode and are absolutely here for the 120-hour push-button anime experience. So far, it rules.

"120 hour anime series" is fair, but "occasionally click a button" is not. If P5 qualifies for that, then every turn-based JRPG ever does.

I was gonna say, that sounds like the first 50 hours or so of FFXIII

I refuse to play games that I can’t quit within 2 minutes of starting it. Persona series is one of those that I refuse to play. My time is way to valuable to commit an hour or more to 1 activity.

I still haven't played so many games because of opening cinematics and overly long and boring tutorials for this reason. It sucks because I can get super into a game if I just get over that. Like Baldur's Gate 3 was a chore to get into, but I knew I would absolutely love it and now I think it's probably the best game ever.

So do you just play on Xbox where you can jump between titles and have it save your game state?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yes actually. It’s my favorite part about Xbox.

So you won't watch an hr+ movie?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

No i refuse to watch movies. The last movie I’ve seen was Lion King 1/2

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

So no games with words at all I would assume? Shit even a round of Tetris is longer than 2 minutes.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

You're joking, right ?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I think you'll miss out on a lot of great games thinking that way! Sometimes needing to commit time into a game is where a lot of the value comes from in its experience, and persona is one of those series.

That's not valuing your time, friendo. That's undiagnosed ADD.

I get that, however before getting on meds I had no problem playing RuneScape for hours straight with YouTube on the side. No idea why I was fine with literally running in circles for 6 hours straight but making eye contact for 2 minutes was painful.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

Game is okay I guess.

Persona 5 is the only game in my life I ever played and made my eyes hirt, it just felt nauseating

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Try playing Dark Forces, or the original Doom or Quake. You'll get motion sickness really quick because of the frame rate of those games. Somehow I managed to acclimate to them back in the day, but I attempted to replay the originals of those games in the last decade, and got extremely nauseous.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i played my fair share, of them and more, never once in my life had a problem, literally only persona 5

probably doesnt help i never liked the direction of the game, or the characters

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I will admit that I'm susceptible to motion sickness, but damn. Those games fucked me up as an adult.
