My love of this stuff may seem odd given my writing on the "realism" problems of Red Dead Redemption 2, but my problem wasn't the instinct for realism, but the subtle points and intents of execution. To wit Persona 5 is HYPER stylized so far, but it's realism is hilarious / sweet

Just had my very first "OH FUCK OFF" - such a break of JRPG etiquette. First mini-boss ever and get through by skin of my teeth- THEN they throw a shit load of bad guys at me that I can "run away from" but not really OH FUCK OFF

Question: how do I, for the love of god, just go into my damn room and get to make a fucking lockpick again. EVERY TIME I try something else automatically ends my night and doesn't give me time to just fucking do it. Like what the hell.

This game is way, way, way, WAY too dependent on the shittiest stealth mechanics of ambushing / getting ambushed... like does this get better because I'm getting way too annoyed to put up with it, honestly.

The essential problem is I have no understanding of what the "hitbox" is when it comes to detection. It's comically loose at some points and cruelly punishing at others. So everytime I'm detected I don't understand why. AND EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON IT.

FACT: I just turned a pot goblin and half a spectral horse into a little ice wizard man using a couple of magic guillotines.

The thing is that I reeeeeeeeeeeeeally like the overall idea of the mechanics. The going in out of dungeons, the progress, the building skills, but there just moments of execution that uggggh. Like the "joker can't die ever" mechanic is SOME MAJOR BULLSHIT.

Question: about to do a calling card and it's literally telling me BE SURE YOU LEAVE NO CHEST UNLOCKED. And it's like, do I seriously have to burn two more fucking days trying to make a lockpick just to go back and open up. That seems insane.

Oh cool, it's now letting me have time to build a lockpick but I can't literally go outside for two seconds to cross the street to buy a thing because "i need to rest." What I hate about this game is not that it doesn't let me do things, it's that I DONT KNOW THE RULES.

Everything is this absurd constantly moving goal post, I'm trying to play it, anticipate it, tackle the hard things. But then it's like NOPE, IM CHANGING THIS UP ON FOR LITERALLY NO REASON BUT I THINK IM HELPING. It's completely infuriating.

I yell at this game and then it does things like this and I keep playingpic.twitter.com/QWPtpB5MAz

So I've decided the reason I love this game is because it provides an opportunity to live out one of my deepest, most outlandish fantasies where I go to bed during the evening and get up in the morning.

WHY WOULD I WANT THIS CREEP TO LIVE WITH ME, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, WHY DOES THIS SINGLE CHARACTER MAKE IT FEEL IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY THIS GAME, WHAT IS WITH THIS FUCKING CHOICE.
Show this thread -
The choice does speak to my lingering super deep worry about the game. Gonna finish it before I make any calls, but from what I see on the psychological landmines on this one. Woof.

Thank god, the weirdo is going home. Still, other weirdos are now being weird. why so weird.

UPDATE: Much further into game! -I don't return yasuke's texts -makoto rules especially in bike form -reallllllllly loving the rhythm -lots of Phantom Of The Paradise in this -The relationship with Ms. Kawakami is possibly the weirdest of all time.

I'm near the end of the 4th dungeon and experiencing the most absurd difficulty spike at a random part that I've seen since Ni No Kuni. OH NO.
