Persona 4: Golden is secretly multiplayer, and you’ll love it (review) | VentureBeat

Persona 4: Golden is a beautiful and content-rich bundle of joy for Vita owners looking to dust off their woefully undersupported handhelds.

The subtle incorporation of new characters, scenarios, and even online connectivity takes full advantage of the new hardware without compromising content or story quality.

But Persona 4 isn’t for the faint of heart.

Playing it is a very long but ultimately rewarding journey full of unforgettable characters.

It’s just a shame that Chie’s new voice can sometimes distract from her depth and place in the story. 98/100

Wow, pretty high score.

[Caligula]

Finally, a VIta game worth playing.

I think there are a few -- like Gravity Rush and Ragnarok Odyssey. The problem is, when will the Vita itself be worth buying?

[Tolkoto]

Man I am pumped for this.

[barefootgamer]

I haven't used my Vita in a few months. I might dust it off and pick this up!

[SybaRat]

Viva Vita! ...for another month, anyway.

Considering that last week the Vita had a game that was universally panned by critics in COD:Declassified.

It is really great to see that a week later the Vita has righted that ship with what is perhaps one of the most critally acclaimed games this gen with Persona 4 Golden.

Interesting that Declassified was panned by critics but loved by many gamers. But that's another matter entirely.

I'm 11 minutes in, and I already love it. The new girl already intrigues me. The only thing I'm sad about is that I can't find how to get my wallpapers.

I'm afraid to get sucked into this one...but man I want to check it out.

[dafegamer]

wow it has beaten gravity rush as the hihgest scored game on

[hkgamer]

Does online connectivity count as multiplayer?

[Caligula]

In the same sense that Demons' Souls was multiplayer.

[hkgamer]

I thought demon souls had a multiplayer component when you get to enter someone elses game and fight them.
