are Persona games any good if I'm an Incel?

[ToBurble&Pine]

I'm thinking of getting into the Persona franchise, but the social simulation turns me off a bit.
Is it bad? How brutal is it? Keep in mind that I get angry and depressed at the slightest display of affection between characters (I only play games with no display of affection)

 

[Cuckoja]

If it bothers you than its not good, as friends bonding experience is made really well.

I suspected as much
Another thing that I can't experience properly just because I'm a virgin

I used to cope by experiencing in games what i didn't irl. I spend decade playing jrpgs daily, mostly for that reason. Mc always forms a group of close friends and gets a hot girl thats crazy about him.

I tried to do that mostly with prostitutes on GTA San andreas but I couldn't
since then I try to avoid anything related to sex, relationship and affection on videogames

I did that too, and go to strip club and date girls. San Andreas was so good for its time.

Play a souls game, no affection in those games, particularly DS1, calm and melancholic atmosphere.

 

[bruhwtf]

It's called Pissona for a reason

Then no

Ahh fuck off man. Shilling the most overrated studio in existence, and the single most overrated title they've ever released.

Cringe contrarianism at its best. You give a BETTER game then that, also has no “displays of affection” as OP wanted.

 

[starystulejarz]

No they are boring as shift they are impossible to finish

Already did
I 100% DS1 and 3, love how miserable and gloomy the world is in those games, currently playing Demon's Souls on RPCS3

 

[1Disturbed]

all the other fromsoftware titles are better in every way lmao, then there is Code Vein, Nioh, which are so much better, it's not even comparable.
Are you asking for RPGs/Action games? It's a bit dishonest given that ds/er are not Action, nor RPG games, they are trial and error-genre games
But an Action RPG that's good is NieR for example, Good Action is in games like Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden, good RPGs are Deus Ex, Disco Elysium. It's like listening to music. You don't actually know what any of the genres mean unless you've tried them, and because of faulty game journalism everybody now thinks dark souls is something that it's not.

also has no “displays of affection” as OP wanted.

I mean... Watching paint dry has no displays of affection either. You really have to be more selective with games because your braincells are a valuable resource that you shouldn't expend wastefully on slop out of the trash can when there are so many better options right next to you.

That "ending world" atmosphere is really not all that interesting in the end if you're just honest to yourself, and 100% these games is no achievement it's actually something I'd be ashamed of telling anybody because every achievement from start to finish is mind-numbingly boring if you're going for them purposefully.

currently playing Demon's Souls on RPCS3

Wow what's your cpu, must have a lot of processing power

 

[ToBurble&Pine]

But I like it

I enjoy those games and I don't see a reason to not 100% them plus if you play normally you get like 80% of the achievement naturally, so going for a clear is not that boring
See

 

[Glassness]

Yeah all of them

 

[1Disturbed]

You can enjoy them...

plus if you play normally you get like 80% of the achievement naturally,

That's true, you do.

DS is honestly the worst one out of these.

 

[1Disturbed]

@TotalFoidGrape I forgot. FF7R has the best gameplay in Action RPGs as well.

 

[BasedGoyslopReviews]

best way i can put it, its a game for incels who dont know they are incels
if u can self insert into a main character and pretend like you are wooing literally every female in ur path, dating literally 8+ woman at the same time, if this kinda vicarious shit works on you, go for it

i promise this is the main appeal of the game. Parasocial mental masturbation

 

[cirno369]

Hell no, Persona 3 and 4 and 5 is pretty much Chad simulator. Especially 4, you are a literal chad which every girl likes, and the main villain is supposed to represent an murderer incel who if he had friends and fixed himself would be like the protagonist. I recommend main series more (shin megami tensei) but only if you like turn based strategy games. There's almost no affection in it, you don't get to really cling onto your party because you fuse them for better demons.

Noted
Which one? Do I start with Nocturne

 

[cirno369]

Yea you can start with Nocturne. IV is on the 3ds and V is on switch, but I think you can emulate all 3, and you can emulate first two too but their combat is a bit different.

DS3 is bland because it only focuses on grey ashen zombies and derivative Berserk refs. DS1 is nice high fantasy vibe

Bloodborne has by far the best atmosphere I’d say

No shit if you like them. But again, dark souls and elden ring are not good or hard.

I do think Elden Ring is overrated. But it is hard (bosses) unless you use spirit ashes like a faggot.

 

[1Disturbed]

I do think Elden Ring is overrated.

it's the single best fromsoftware title

But it is hard (bosses) unless you use spirit ashes like a faggot.

if you are a true gamer as you claim then you can just play every game with your hands tied using only your ballsack

 

[Aspiring Janitor]

And you still don't think it's good

if you are a true gamer as you claim then you can just play every game with your hands tied using only your ballsack

Post your gameplay if you have any. Plus that's not what I claimed a true gamer was.

 

[1Disturbed]

And you still don't think it's good

correct, I'm a fromslopware hater. (hater of all souls-likes)

Post your gameplay if you have any. Plus that's not what I claimed a true gamer was.

there's nothing you can post as far as fromsoftware goes , at most you could upload a no death run or some shit which is just boring running across the map killing enemy after enemy
