I thought what I did wrong was not S-ranking all levels before the final fight with Vlitra, so I went back and did it. When I looked it up I can honestly say the spirit of the game rubbed off on me, I was fucking livid. And I remained that way through the whole fight I'd just paid like eight bucks for.

an ending where it cucks you into paying to see what happened and continue playing

>>333606092
IIRC each game came with two discs, the game itself and an episode of the anime. Both the plot of the games and the anime ran simultaneously like that, it's a pretty cool idea actually.

Well, I wasn't expecting the entire story explained but at least it should make sense.

You're basically replaying the story but later on it's hard to understand what the hell is going on if you haven't watched the anime.

The ending is also a bit different and really neat.
The way loading screens are used are also nice.

>anime spinoff of a vidya is pretty good in its own right and arguably has a better story
Take a guess
>>
>>333607773
I thought it was handled pretty well, myself. I mean, the entire series is less than three hours long, so they had no reason to assume that anyone playing the game hadn't seen it. And at first, the game's story is just a slightly more in-depth re-telling of the show, but then it makes a hard left turn. Sam Jackson even says something like, "What? You think just because you've seen the cartoon, you know what's gonna happen? Well, guess again," before the story goes off the rails. It was clever.

It's true. I wanted to know how to pvp and figured out the two main pvp factions are both secrets you would have no idea about unless you're a sequence breaker or extremely thorough explorer/item collector.

It was hilarious, both intentionally and unintentionally. All the QUALITY just made made it funnier. Wouldn't say it's a replacement for the game, though.

P3 movies one and two were mediocre but three was damn great and made up for the faults of the previous ones. I just hope four delivers on that ending.
