CSM:
"From the get-go, you'll be privy to mature sexual themes like love triangles, a foul-mouthed school teacher, and references to drinking and smoking. Yet this is no over-the-top Grand Theft Auto IV. All the references just make the game more intriguingly real, not satirically hyperreal. If you're used to an action game, the nature of this RPG is slower. But the curious will be rewarded with some scares along with a deep storyline and well-rounded characters who run the gamut of personalities.
The odd, nightmarish dream world may be too much for some with its long-tongued creatures and bears who have nothing inside their bodies. Though the weakest part of Persona 4 is the artwork, the anime style keeps it from being too frightening. The turn-based fighting can get a somewhat dull at times if you're not into the strategy that goes into defeating each strange foe. Ultimately, though, Persona 4 is a carefully honed game with a story that may not be unique, but is nonetheless as compelling as a page-turner. The game also includes a bonus soundtrack disk."
"Atlus, the publisher of the ever-growing Persona franchise had registered a bunch of domains related to the Persona series. Keep in mind, companies register domains and trademarks all the time that they never actually act on. (Example: Sony’s glove controller for PS4) However, the series is continuing to grow with its fifth main installment shipping 1.5 units on PS4 — that’s a huge number for this once-niche RPG series. The series quickly gained traction after the release of Persona 3 on the PS2 — ever since then we’ve gotten a handful of remakes and spin-offs. Because I’m such a fanboy of Persona, I want to go through the list of domains and give my thoughts on what each domain Atlus has registered could be." -- PlayStation Enthusiast
Im all for it. This series as a whole is well thought out, entertaining to play, and made well. Keep em coming!
The digital PS3 version of Mass Effect Trilogy has dropped to $4.49. Odin Sphere, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha versus King Abaddon, Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga, Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 and Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 are also on sale for $4.99 each.
?
These are sales for the digital versions of those games in fact I have a backwards compatible PlayStation 3 and I still opted to purchase the digital version of some of these games simply because they ran faster and the actual PlayStation 2 versions cost a fortune.
Ironically I'm actually currently playing Persona 4 right now on my PlayStation 3
Persona 4 on eBay is only $15... that's not a fortune. Though I did purchase this digitally to save a few $$$.
@Rhyme- thats a good deal for that version. Its normally always $10 on PSN though.....
Mind you, I couldn't find it on Amazon for that price years ago when I was looking for it lol.
I found it on PSN simply by googling and finding out Atlus put a lot of their games on PSN and I ended up getting it on sale for like 5 bucks.
$4.50 for the Mass Effect Trilogy?! I would jump on that if I didn't already have the game. I also own all of these Atlus titles physically, and I think I did get the digital version of Persona 4 just to support the digital release/have it on my PS3, even though I think my PS2 is still the most authentic way to play it. Granted, Golden is the definitive version IMHO with maybe one minor point in favour of the original. Perhaps I should open up a Tracy Rooney vs. Erin Fitzgerald discussion right here for my own amusement, but derailing the Internet can't be that easy, can it?
