We're getting SMT If... in English?!

On a related note, what's this Persona Golden thing I keep reading about? Obviously, there's a Persona fighting game, but that's something different. Is Persona Golden to Persona 4 as P3 FES was to Persona 3?

Fan-translated, but yes. And Aeon Genesis' translations are quality. They did the ones for Shin Megami Tensi 1 and 2.

The Golden is to Persona 4 as Persona 3 Portable was to P3. It's on Vita and it's got new characters and features and stuff. It also won't have the visual novel interface that defined P3P, if that means anything to you. No US announcement yet (but how could they not?).

Re: Unofficially Official What are you Playing

Just picked up The Witcher 2 today. The 360 port is getting stellar reviews, and I was unaware that WB Games was publishing. Between this and the two Batman games, they seem to be on a "can do no wrong" streak. This is what every major publisher needs to strive for...being selective with what they choose to publish, and thereby consistently releasing top-tier games instead of "more of the same."

I'd actually like to see them play in the same league as EA and Activision, but continue releasing quality games. But that might be asking for too much, if not be damn near impossible.

Re: Unofficially Official What are you Playing

Are you including LEGO Harry Potter with that?

BTW True Demon's more badass than Neutral~

Re: Unofficially Official What are you Playing

No, but nor did I include Bastion and the upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw.

Re: Unofficially Official What are you Playing

Been playing the Witcher 2 and loving every second of it. Playing on Dark difficuilty, which means saving every second.

Gerald is a bad ass.

I google'd it to see it, I still like the Neutral ending more.

Re: Unofficially Official What are you Playing

But that doesn't include the tough crawl through the Amala Labyrinth and the fact that Lucifer can only be harmed with onnnnnnnne type of skill.

...and the fact that Lucifer can only be harmed with onnnnnnnne type of skill.

Yeah, that sounds like fun.

Re: Unofficially Official What are you Playing

Been playing the Witcher 2 and liking every ten minutes of it. Playing on Easy difficulty, which means saving every forty five minutes or so.

Gerald is a bad ass.

You must love it enough to know that his name is Geralt~~


Oops...double post.


EDIT EDIT: I am liking the storytelling mechanic so far. Quite a bit, actually. And some of the draw distances are pretty phenomenal. But one negative so far...in a few scenes now, the texture pop-in has been pretty horrendously bad. Like, details on clothes suddenly appearing, and puddles of blood popping in that were not there when the "shot" (to use a cinematic term) began.


I can already tell that decisions made so far WILL end up being meaningful. I have a feeling that a few of my decisions have already impacted the storyline in some way. This beginning part IS a bit slow, but I'm gonna try my hardest to stick this out, because as I said, the storytelling seems to be the real hook here, and it's already slowly reeling me right in.

Re: Unofficially Official What are you Playing

I spent about 10 minutes with the witcher after buying it during the steam sale last year and was BORED BORED BORED!!!!

Playing Starcraft 2, Tribes: Ascend and just got Trials: Evolution yesterday~~~

Been meaning to pick up Silent Hill: Downpour eventually, and want to pick up Mass Effect 3 again and dive into the multiplayer.

Re: Unofficially Official What are you Playing

Just played up to the first save point in Metroid Other M and find it to be horrible.

Should I keep going?

Don't you want to experience the DEPTHS of awfulness it "achieves?" 3rd Birthday's the only other game that can compete.


Still Mario 3D Land and FFXIII-2 for me. Very close to completing both.

Then I'm gonna get abused by Demon's Souls before it closes its doors.

Get funkay.

Re: Unofficially Official What are you Playing

Gosh, I'm loving Bioshock...but it feels like a mixture of almost every game that I've played and liked...it makes it feel somewhat artificial.
