God I fucking hate game journalists

@triodug ah, the classic SMT take: "it's not like persona ;___;"

@lain game journalists when the jrpg doesn't let them seduce a minor

@triodug damn not even the new dark souls of persona games

@triodug game jouralists were a mistake

@triodug
> GAMING “JOURNALIST” TRY NOT TO COMPLAIN THAT A GAME ISNT EXACTLY LIKE ANY GAME THEY HAVE EVER PLAYED BEFORE OR CALL IT “SOULS LIKE” CHALLENGE (impossible difficulty)

@lain @triodug "Its like persona but extremely boring" remains an applicable review of the entire series.

@rude @lain so it's like persona but persona?

@triodug @lain Either Im bored from grinding xp due to bad game design or Im bored because i have to select menial tasks to level up social skills.

These games were designed by sadists.

@rude @lain lmao he has to grind

@triodug Don't wanna get in the way of hating the enemies of gamers and gaming as a whole; but I don't know either game. What's the part to hate about the take?

@rasterman SMT is an amazing JRPG dungeon crawler with an emphasis on the combat system and monster fusion. Persona is a dating sim with basically everything that made SMT great removed.
