The game was fun and interesting with a great atmosphere. Game play is very much like early fatal frame games. The story is fairly confusing and I really struggle to understand what is going on but I do not really think thats a big issue. There are 2 issues that really plague this game and make it not really as good as the fatal frame games. It is impossible to find ghosts sometimes when your in combat so be ready to die repeatedly not knowing how you died. The second issue this game faces is confusion, how to fight some of the bosses, where to go next? there were a few times i had to look up what even to do. Overall its very flawed but I had fun with it and I would recommend it.

As someone who loved the old P3, this remake is spectacular and absolutely what P3 needed to be played in 2024 without the annoying drawbacks of P3P or FES. It is a bit on the overpriced side but the game is very substantial and it is not a remaster like many of the re-released games its a completely remade game from the ground up that is very faithful to the original. I struggle to think of which persona game is my favorite 3 and 4 just occupy different parts in my mind, but P3 was the one persona game who's story blew me away.

This version while I would consider it to be the absolute definitive version of persona 3 is missing a couple things. One of the biggest omissions and one i was kinda confused about was Ryoji's social link. without spoiling anything, he is a really important character and I thought it was odd that he lost so much screen time. Many people were also annoyed at Femc not being in this game but I do understand that decision as the Femc route requires heavy reworking of the story and lots of new voice dialog, I would love to see it as a DLC maybe one day.

This version not only makes the game playable in more places but fixes a lot of the complaints about previous versions. One of the most annoying being in the original and FES, where you could not control companions and they sort of just acted on their own. P3P In my mind, though it has a ton of content with the Femc route is by far the worst version of the game. It does have all the quality of life improvements that it needed from later persona games and those are present in this version, but the horrible audio quality, bad interface, lack of cut scenes really makes it overall a downer.

So if you have never played P3, or even a persona game in general for that matter, and want to this is absolutely the way to do it in 2024. I can not recommend this game enough

I have been playing racing games for a very long time, this type of track formatted racing game is often even my favorite kind. However this game is actually a mess, it handholds you through the most basic of things but glosses over the weirdness and confusing nature of this games UI, one of the most prominent features of the UI is using micro-transactions. The content is sparse at best, it has Nuremberg but it doesn't even have the iconic track. This game feels more sparse and limited than any other major racing title i have played. the graphics are disappointing to say the least and very much in practice are worse than horizon 5. then the worst part is the absolutely awful bugs, i have to keep guidelines on because the track will randomly disappear when driving or the game will randomly drop to tens of fps despite me having an i7 13700kf and rtx 4070. textures randomly just don't load in or disappear one issue ive had is that cars headlights just vanish as well. this game is very unfinished, poorly optimized and lacks content i still need to think about if i will refund it or not and just wait for the "updates", which just means were playing a very early access mess. If your thinking of buying i would wait.

toots, tunes, poop, baboons, souls-like story, makes me physically ill to play too much, game got it all i think im stupider now though.

The sound and atmosphere are on point, The voice acting is not good but acceptable, the GAMEPLAY is like a crime against the player. The painting of kanji for seals is probably one of the most frustrating gameplay elements I have ever experienced. The slightest wrong motion or even sometimes not and Naoko would just go, "Its not right" add the timer on this already frustrating thing and you have a horrible core gameplay mechanic. Other main complaint is the constant jump scares to the point i just stopped caring I was more annoyed at having to start over writing than getting scared.

I did have fun with this, or at least i thought I did. The gameplay is very repetitive, annoying and the main drive of the whole game is a "haha number go up" grind. i got to about 10 hrs in and at that point when i ran out of goals to work for I just sort of got bored. It can be enjoyable but for $20 a game you can exhaust in 10 hrs is not ideal.

After 80 hrs and finally finishing my first playthrough I can say the game is excellent. Its all the good of dark souls with like the open world fun of like skyrim. I think personally I think its a bit too long and is not as good as dark souls 3 for the from soft game itch. If you liked dark souls 2 you will love this one. Played a bleed katana build was very fun, except the final boss that was unaffected by my build, that was not very poggers.

I was on the fence whether I should or should not recommend this game based on its FPS glitch but I can never do this game dirty. This game is still far from perfect and a flawed experience in many ways but as far as narrative and characters go in gaming this game puts everything to shame. This game literally changed my life, not actually joking here, the game is so dark and depressing but with some of the best lore ever created. The NieR world is an experience as a whole this game is only its core, they leave you with questions you want answers to and very often the answers do exist somewhere else in the series. Much less of a video game at this point and more of an actual life path, the NieR lore inspired me to learn Japanese and now because of it i live in Japan. I can not express in words how much I love this game.

I have only played a bit of the steam version but yep its SLRR. it feels very different from 2.2.1 especially with soundtrack and menus this version seems to be modernized, however i do find that a bit sad. The mods are what makes this game, sadly as of now a lot of them are not on steam and it seems their source is gone so if your like me you will probably be digging through your old files to add to the game. In some ways this game is better than 2.2.1 but only the base version it feels a lot like the 2.3.0 mod back in the day not 2.2.1 MWM which was always my preferred way to play. I recommend getting this regardless its still fun in the way it always was its a nostalgia trip but is also lots of fun today. If anyone has the old initial D akina track i would be much appreciated if it was posted, i plan on looking through my files but I don't know if i still have them.

The game is fine but the expansion pack system is a straight out rip off, to be honest I wouldn't even be playing this if the Sims 2 was still available, despite the age difference they are essentially the same exact game EA probably removed it so they can rip more people off releasing the same game with small improvements with the same stupid packs, like seriously why do i need to buy a pets and seasons pack for each game, all with essentially the same content. I like the game but the business practice is scummy.
