looks at all the games I played for over 300 hours
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?
Yes actually. It’s my favorite part about Xbox.
So you won't watch an hr+ movie?
No i refuse to watch movies. The last movie I’ve seen was Lion King 1/2
So no games with words at all I would assume? Shit even a round of Tetris is longer than 2 minutes.
You're joking, right ?
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.
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
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.
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
I will admit that I'm susceptible to motion sickness, but damn. Those games fucked me up as an adult.
dang, unfortunate
