Note, I think it's an amazingly well made game, and it IS fun, and oozes style and substance from everything. I also loved p3 and p4.

The reason I can't get into it is sadly due to the social stuff. When I played p3 and p4 I had far more time yo play games. These days with my schedule and other obligations, I just don't have much time to play games, so sitting there for an entire gaming session doing nothing but social sim stuff just doesn't do it for me. :(

If I had more time to play games I'm sure id fucking adore it. I have the steelbook version and am keeping it for a time when I do have the time yo really dig into it. Maybe during a staycation or somryhing.

I feel ya man. Thats the burden of adulting :( Its something I find commonly in the rpg genre. When I wanna sit down and absorb a good rpg I wanna be there for a good 2+ hours. But most days I'm so busy/tired that I cant enjoy em like that anymore.

Likewise. At least in other rpgs I can play for a bit and get a good session in.

It kind of happened to me on my second playthrough. I got to a part where I knew there would be nothing but exposition for a few in game days and I put it down for a couple of months.

Especially since sometimes it'll be days in between gaming sessions, so I would be like "what the fuck was I doing? What's going on again?" That's what made me shelve it.

The mere misogynist and sexist values that game promotes disqualifies it from being anything even worth mentioning. If you like that trash you are probably a creep. No surprise it was made by a Japanese company.

As someone who is in February in p4 golden I understand what you're going through. For me it's just that the game feels padded and no longer fun. And as for the social sim element, well their novelty has long since worn off considering p3 was 10 years ago and I was already older than the characters themselves.

The novelty of experiencing japanese culture stuff like "golden week" and booths at school has similarly lost its initial quirky enjoyment.

Now I'm just irritated by their need to make all women submissive and/or hate embracing their sexuality because of japanese cultural differences. The lack of assertiveness in the girls you romance just makes you roll your eyes because woe to the japanese programmer who actually thinks this is what people want.

Can't blame you. I've been playing through P4G and I'm reminded why I wasn't as into P3F as so many other kept fans. The social sim stuff seems like the focus, the actual story comes in increments that are too spaced out, and the dungeon crawling and combat feel tacked on. Compared to, say, Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga; both of which I really enjoyed.

Too bad TC, you're really missing out TBH. Nier Automata is an amazing, 10/10 GOTY contender but it doesn't quite top Persona 5.

Different games, can't really compare them tbh.

Aesthetically speaking though P5 is amazing.

Why would you be ashamed of that. The game isn't even that good.
