Gaming Persona 5 royal review

[Transcended Trucel]

So finally finished it. Took me 170 hours jfl. I would spend a lot of time min maxxing and listening to the side conversations also walking around pointlessly.

In the end I give it a 9/10.
Overall game had many highs and lows. The highs were very very good. Would truly give you the Chad feeling, satisfying feeling of making progress. Seeing Confidant/friend rankups was always good cope. There was also some romance scenes and that was fun too. Combat was turn based but had some strategy to it, far better than gay shit like pokemon due to interesting mechanics. Boss fights and the villains/antagonists were interesting.

Especially the last three [(

Spoiler: villains spoiler

a blackpilled prime minister(reminds me of @BlkPillPres but version who actually succeeded to an extreme degree, he would make his political opponents go into comas, fucked many women, used his son as a tool, just very based and blackpilled,was facist dictator maxxing too jfl), a God(based on Yaldaboth, Demiurge from gnosticism, he basically cause an apocalypse and the MC and crew have to stop him) and finally woke Psychologist turned god(he wants to sacrifice peoples free will in exchange for making a utopia, where everyone is happy and satisfied,similar to Madara from Naruto, very woke and based tbh).

On the negative side, we have some parts of the game where the min maxxing gets annoying. there is also one unreasonable boss fight on palace #5 where I died like 3-4 times. Game feels tedious during the palace 5 arc as well. as its by far weakest point. very annoying and slow arc. also there was some problems completing some of the confidants(strength confidant) which is a gay fucking pain and takes alot of time. Game also requires too much grinding at parts.

In spite of all flaws, game was very good cope. After beating it, I do feel empty and sad. Knowing my life won't ever be 1/100th as fufilling as the MC's in the game. well whatever.
all the people and incels who recommended were on point, you really feel like an anime mc when playing thru it. But this ofc makes the games ending hit extremely hard and filles me with rage, that I can't even experience 1/100 th of the joy the MC does in the game. My life will never ever have the same highs of beating a God, having genuine friends nor having the satisfaction of achieving true greatness.

I had a Shin Megami Tensei game on DS that’s as far as I got getting into persona franchise

@solblue was on point, MC originally going to jail did feel simpy and retarded. that was one thing I would never do. but outside that it was pretty easy to self insert.

Hope you enjoyed the game, now its time for less gaming and more wealthmaxxing

@shii410 @RollD20 @Nekopan @Lookscel @cvh1991 @proudweeb did u play it btw? what was your top girl out of the 11. I had Makoto and Kasumi/Sumire as romanced. Did not like the much rest. Futaba was third place, didn't like her glasses but otherwise she'd would be a good pick.

yeah that's true. I beat the game over 3-4 months, limited my time to 1-2 hours/day until the past week or so where was doing 3-4.

In the end a game is a game, grinding irl and then coping after retirement is the way to go. Only sucks it will take me a decade to hit my financial goals.

interesting review

 

[Mecoja]

I played the regular version on ps3, it was good like all persona games.

I would never try to romance any anime chick with a name like futaba for obvious reasons

Dude I remember when a friend told me he fapped to futunari, we were still friends but it was never the same again

Its basically like someone admitting that they are gay to you, but they don't even realize they are gay yet, so there's this awkward science and you just move along, it was cringe

some of the futanari porn addicts are really mentally ill. I talked to one and he said he'd rather be a futa than a Chad. Mentally ill idiot told me that he imagine it's far more pleasurable to be a futa than a normal man and he would fall to himself.

Yea, don't know why so many manga, anime, and JRPGs are still so bluepilled given Japan's predicament, but they're entertaining either way

agreed. if he was here, I would take his deal without any hesitation or thinking. I hate this world and everything in it.

I see people claim muh "free will", but in the end all of us humans are nothing products of environment interacting with the environment. true free will likely doesn't exist and even if it did, the pain the suffering outweighs the happiness a thousand fold in this cursed planet.

Free will definitely exists, but one is still limited by whatever options they can choose from

Having the will (ability to choose something) is separate from having all the options you want to choose from

For example if i walk into an ice cream shop I have the free will to buy whatever flavor I want, but I can only buy from the flavors that are available in the store to begin with

Saying free will doesn't exist is like saying the post you just made that I am responding to right now was done on autopilot by your body and if you had tried to stop yourself from typing it you wouldn't be able to stop lol

Of course you have free will, nobody is forcing you to think the thoughts you are having or move your body in any way

You could make the convoluted argument that you were just "destined" to do specific things, so even if you did stop yourself it would have been because you were destined to stop yourself, but that is nothing but nonsense that you can't prove or disprove. Its you asserting something to be true AFTER THE FACT, and that makes it inherently fallacious, its nothing but hindsight

What can be measured and reasoned is the here and the now, and the thoughts you are having while reading this right now are your own, and the response you are typing up after you read this is you consciously typing to form words and sentences to convey meaning

So to me the irony of stating that free will doesn't exist is that you have to utilize free will in order to utter those very words (or type it out)

I see your point. but reading https://richarddawkins.net/2016/05/theres-no-such-thing-as-free-will/.

these types of essays convinced me. that a human is nothing but a function(DNA) and the environment inputs Information into the function and receives outputs. all decisions a person ever makes are based on precursor knowledge, the way they evaluate the information is purely based on their previous experiences/upbringing and genetic inclinations.

another thing is there is no random number generator in this world especially on a macro physics scale. everything that has happened, happened due to previous events. everything has a beggining and eventual end.

A human being a function of DNA does not denote that you aren't exerting free will

Are you basically saying consciousness isn't real?

You can perceive of a sense of "now" right now can't you?

You can feel yourself breathing, you can blink, you can move your hands around, you are actually alive right?

So what does you being a "function of DNA" have to do with anything

The only thing you have stated really is that genetic information has determined that you will be more inclined to think a certain way or do certain things, but that doesn't make the actions you choose to do not a choice, you are still actively choosing to do things


Also this statement right here is just you stating the obvious, but saying it like it some kind of flaw:
"all decisions a person ever makes are based on precursor knowledge, the way they evaluate the information is purely based on their previous experiences/upbringing and genetic inclinations"

Are you seriously trying to argue that in order for free will to exist one must have thoughts or make decisions outside of their scope of knowledge?

That literally makes no sense at all, its like saying:
"If you don't know what you don't know, then you don't have free will"

Its ridiculous

Like you just said in this very post:
"everything has a beginning and eventual end"

But you are ironically arguing that one must somehow be able to derive an end without first having a beginning

If one is not making future decisions based on past information then what will you even make decisions on, there has to be a beginning (starting point) right?

It just doesn't makes sense to say otherwise, the very nature of causality comes into question if we say otherwise, one can not arrive at a conclusion without a question (initial information) to formulate a conclusion on


I'd argue if our minds functioned like you assert it should THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE PROOF WE DIDN'T HAVE FREE WILL

Because one could assume that those "spontaneous thoughts and decisions" that aren't connected to any of our personal past decisions or knowledge, were coming from "somewhere/someone else"

I guess my original definition of free will was different from yours. I concede, I guess in the end free will isn't incompatible with a deterministic viewpoint on life. Just because decisions are predetermined due to previous events doesn't make them any less significant.
