IGN complains about survival and mystery instead of dating sim in SMTV

It does kind of annoy me when reviewers review SMT as if it should be Persona.

You may as well complain that Fallout isn't enough Elder Scrolls. They're different series with differing elements.

The end of the world is the ideal time for dating actually. I hope the protagonist gets laid, could be his last chance.

Face it, shen megami tenshen whatever is a stupid weeb name.

And your name isnt?

I am just saying, non weebs are going to be turned off by the name.

Well the game was named by Japanese people. Japanese people aren't weebs they are just Japanese. The only other option they had was to change the title but they probably feel that the type of person to play these games like the Japanese name

New Goddess Reincarnation V.

True Goddess Reincarnation V.

Goddess Reincarnation does sound like a badass name for a series.

Japan : Like a Dragon

America :Yakuza

7th game title in America : Yakuza Like a Dragon

Mainline SMT was originally a dungeon crawler like Etrian Odyssey. People aren't buying SMT for the visual novel parts. Persona was a spin-off from SMT If... Because people liked the classroom setting. Persona 1 was still a dungeon crawler but then it became very story and character focussed in 2 and was in the modern story and characters first format by 3. SMT has a lot more focus on dungeons and combat and some people like that. It isn't a bad thing to not have constant exposition and character development. I don't want that in every game. Like did you want more story and character development in Mario Odyssey? Would that have made the game better?

There was this time where gamers, reviewers and developers did indeed think adding story, character development and 'mature' themes was something platformers should have lol

It doesn't say anything about dating.

I don't really get why SMT fans are acting like this is the only series in history that is criticized for a heavy focus on combat instead of story.

Fallout was criticized for being Oblivion with Guns at the time lol

Starfield is going to be compared to both.

People complained that Fallout 76 didn't have NPC's even though it was a multiplayer game.

mainline SMT is literally just persona but with less features tho

it's like if you took the mapping+exploration out of etrian odyssey or all the cutscenes out of mgs4

i disagree looking video game masterpiece FFVII. Cloud waited until after Sephiroth dropped multiple meteors on him to fuck Tifa.

Dropping meteors? Sephiroth sounds like a ripoff of Madara from the Naruto series.

I don't get why people are mad at a reviewers opinion

",I didn't feel any incentive whatsoever to keep playing " is completely valid

And if you're one of those "I don't care about story or characters! I just want gameplay. " people then you still get the information you want from the review

I felt the same way about Monster Hunter World. It's so boring and the fans say "Well that's by design!"

it basically translate to Goddess's Neo Genesis.

so this game is like Persona without the high school social part?

IGN gave it an 8/10 and people are still mad.
This is just like the 8.8 incident
