Strange Journey

Literally Doom in RPG form.

I love the SMT series and all its spin-offs, but I'd like to see if there are other games where they take a fuck-ton of myths and legends and use them in a similar way.

Doesn't have to be dungeon crawler, either.

>>284732508
They were the first SMT games that I played and I thought they were fine, the difficulty is really easy too compared to later games since they still have easy exploits like zio instalock and magic bullets making everything ez mode

Devil Survivor 1. I don't like dungeon crawlers much, and love edgy main characters.

>>284732508
The original Megami Tensei and SMT aged badly.
Meanwhile MT2 and SMT2 aged well.

Yeah I just finished SMT II, so now I think I'll go through DDS 1 and 2 and finish Press Turn games.
So I generally suck at dungeon crawlers but I though SMT 1 and 2 were pretty easy if you just spammed zio skills. If that wasn't in it though I would have thought they were pretty hard. Is SJ pretty hard? Or is it Nocturne levels of manageable in regards to normal jrpgs?

It's rough around the edges design-wise, but I think it's got one of my favorite scenarios and settings, despite me only knowing the gist of the story.

That's one of the things I really like about nocturne, while it doesn't have the 1000 demons of the other mainline games none of the demons feel like they're useless or generic fodder

I was able to have fun despite the decisions, whereas for a lot of SMT games, I was able to have fun because of it's decisions

Smirking, lack of vit, and only having 2 or so memorable dungeons in the game really hurt it's overall enjoyment.

Nocturne negotiations are only bad if you only use the basic talk command

they get a lot more interesting as you work in the demon talk skills, it's actually one of my favorites in the series

best in the series is raidou 2, which has a combination of classic SMT negotations with nocturne conversation skills, more games like that please

>>284736220
making it like SJ is the absolute last thing that should happen, fuck RNG demon responses forever and all time, in nocturne the questions each demon asks you always have the same answer and you have skills like detain that let you avoid them running with your money while in SJ you can literally savestate before picking something and get wildly different responses each time

>>284736548
It's basically killer7 but with awkward melee combat instead of awkward gunplay

It's a really interesting game, and the ways it's both super linear yet quite open ended are cool but it's also sort of a janky piece of shit, and the dub has really bad voice acting (with the single exception of the MC) and some censorship/translation issues

dreamcast is the only version worth playing though, makken shao doesn't add anything

I probably wouldn't have minded the Neutral end as much if not for the sheer fucking tedium of actually doing all the boring fucking quests to get it. It was just way too much effort for what I thought was a mediocre payoff especially after it's already confirmed multiple times that the cycles will always continue.

>>284736958
Yeah, that was legitimately shitty man. I'm not really even much of a Law person myself (Law is only my favorite end in SMT II), but they got supremely shafted in SMT IV and not only looked like the shittiest faction but also got the shittiest end.

Its combat and control system is similar to Metroid Prime's. The game is really cool though with branching paths and multiple endings. Oh, and you get to take over certain enemies bodies and they all have different abilities.

>>284737137
>>284737060
Honestly for me the only time I finished a game int he series and thought "Wow, that was really cool and satisfying" was the Law end of SMT2

Also I think a big problem with 4 was that Kaneko wrote the original draft for the plot years ago, then a team of writers descended upon it and made it more whole to go with the gameplay.

That being said Gameplay>Story

>>284734675

Meditation is an almighty skill that saps both life and magic. So he will literally never run out of MP.
Combine that with the fact that he gets Prayer and Preach means you can cause status ailments and heal your party fully and heal all status ailments forever as long as you keep getting MP back with Meditation.

You can be edgy, you can be saintly, you can be rational/nationalist, you can be a traditionalist/puritan, and you can even be an idiotic coward depending on the path you choose.

Though, personally, I also prefer the "edgy" version, specifically, the pro-human edgy guy. Though, preferably, a combination of Atsuro's and Cain's ending would be my preferred

I know they ditched a lot of the Nocturne designs mostly because they were simple for the 3d leap and pretty overused, but that's what made them nice. They were simple and stylistic. Thor being the best example

Also they seemed to have forgotten the whole "handsome man" part of Oberon. Just why?

He is a great duke and appears at first as a mighty terrible and strong leopard but at the command of his summoner he assumes the shape of a man with fiery eyes and a terrible countenance. He can see the past and future, but unless he is commanded into a triangle he will lie in all those things. He will gladly talk of divinity and of the creation of the world, and of his and other spirits' falls from grace. He can control fire and burn all of his and his summoner's adversaries to death and will not suffer them to be tempted by any spirit or otherwise. He governs 36 legions of spirits.

I fucking love his redesign. It's a shame that he wasn't in IV though they'd probably would give him his cheetah diaper one.

I'm one of those people who would flip out if someone said P4 had better story than 3

Why do Flauros and Ose have the exact same design, it isn't even a recolor like Tam Lin and Cu Cullain, literally the exact same design

These games are so good.

>>284740986
To a Persona 3 fan perhaps.
I wouldn't rank any of the Personas as my favorite in the series, but P4 was a much better experience than P3, which kind of felt like "what if Nomura made a Megami Tensei" at times. P4 might not be as "dark", but it's also not as childish. That said, good game.

>>284740857
I think you'll find that most SMT fans have no problem with people like Persona.
I just personally couldn't stand most of P4, but I won't hold it against someone for liking it. I just liked P3 a lot more than P4.

I felt 4 did everything 3 did, just worse in terms of story, atmosphere, and all those aesthetic type things.
SMT as a whole is still better than either though for me.

>>284741195
I don't have a stigma. Persona 3 just still pretended it was at least part of the MT series.

Are we allowed to talk about Persona 5 here?

>>284741234
He's not anymore though.
>>284741242
He's average. I admit though, he's only good if you're low-level.

He's alright in Imagine, but he's also a glass cannon. You can definitely fuse better physical demons than him though.

I see more atlus lives but every company they get handed/sold to goes under

>>284741465
I hope it's good and not at all like Persona 4 in terms of tone.
That will tide me over until a new SMT game comes out.
I wonder if they'll try some more spinoffs.

>>284742074
Persona 4 came out in 2009. On PS2.
A whole generation has passed since it came out.

>>284741942
Hey, I didn't opt for the game to be made for the 3DS.

>>284742074
P4 is over 6 years old

>>284742074
In the time since Persona 4, we got two mainline SMTs.
That was 7 years ago.
Wait your turn.

I hate Persona but fully intend on playing P5.

>>284741942
>Selling like shit
>Best selling smt
What?

anyone played if? is it translated at all? the art for that game looks tip top

>>284742195
The world design and 400 demons would NEVER happen on consoles.

EVER.

>>284742195
Being on the 3DS is probably what helped it be the best selling mainline game.

>>284742173
nocturne sold bad at release but with all the re-releases and cult hype thats built up over the years it's sold more than SMT4

>tfw Atlus did fuck all with the PS3

>>284742407
>no HD collection with Nocturne and DDS

They fucked up.

>>284742219
I never understood this 'SMT is dead now meme'. Since P4 came out, we got two new mainline games, two DeSu games and expanded rereleases, the first English release of SH, SMT x FE could still be alive, and we know the Maniax Team is working on a new game. That's not even counting all the ports

>>284742124

>>284742219
Shit, I didn't pay attention and realize it's been that long. Even still, the SMT series has some shaky-ass release time frames.

We'll be lucky to get an SMT5 within a decade.

>>284742407
P5 is a guaranteed success so hopefully they make a new spinoff with the Catherine engine. A new Devil Summoner would be neat but it'd take anything that isn't P4 again

>>284742393
unless you have concrete numbers I doubt it. IV and Nocturne both got to about 250k in Japan a month after launch and slowed down. Nocturne did 60k in 5 years in the US, whereas IV did 100k in 5 months. Only counting physical copies for all numbers

>>284742393
Where's your source?
And by that logic you're comparing years of sales and re-releases with a game that is current and has not been re-released whatsoever.
Nocturne had two launches, the first of which was pretty awful because the game was pretty rough. The maniax version added a lot to the game.
SMT IV has sold a little over half a million last I checked, which was about 200,000 more units than Nocturne had sold at that point.

>>284742685
I don't understand the negativity either. Atlus has been pretty damn busy in the past 5 years. People act like they had some golden age during the PS2 and then stopped all production.

>>284742758
Don't worry, after P5 we'll get Persona 5 Golden:FES.

>>284742849
Didn't IV not get released physically in Europe for a long ass time?

>>284742407
That's probably because the Cell processor was a complicated mess and fatlus is lazy

>>284742685
Sequels have come out so fast lately, that people have forgotten what it is like to starve and hunger for more. Also new people are retarded.

>>284742956
IV never even got released physically in Europe, it just got released on the eShop last October.

So how terribly has Ratio aged?
I think the concept sounds great and the screenshots I've seen look really stylish, but I've also heard that the first game is a chore to play and only really starts taking off in the second game

>>284742956
It didn't get released PERIOD in yurop for well over a year.

Quick! you can choose any Kaneko design to be fully modeled in P5 as a NG+ boss, regardless of how old or obscure it is. What do you choose?

Hard mode: No Mara, she's token.
MANIAC MODE: No Frost Jack variants

>>284743043
>>284743007
Well that's one reason for sale numbers being low I'd wager

>>284743015
The first has awful combat but you can try it out on emulator before committing, the second improved on it a bunch and the story isn't connected really so you can skip 1

>>284743015
First is playable, gameplay isn't mindblowing but it isn't bad. Just a little stale.
But aesthetically it's great and the story is cool. And then 2 kinda flips around on that, making gameplay better and story worse.

>>284742921
>People act like they had some golden age during the PS2 and then stopped all production.
Is it that hard to figure out? They've moved production mostly to handhelds, as opposed to consoles which is what most people wanted.

I do understand that handhelds are far cheaper to develop for though, like the PS2 etc.

>>284743126
IV's sales numbers are far from low, it's one of the best-selling SMTs worldwide and the best-selling non-Persona SMT in America by far.

>>284743096
Bodyconian from SMT 1.
Better be complete with dancing.
