The problem of twilight is that romanticize a stalker, but with a lot of qualities, and also make people believe that man should always protect girls while girls can not have a decent trait of personality and still be successful cause of the "pretty boy" that decide to love her for no real reason at all.

It's not a meme. People posting from mobile are usually the stupid people you see posting screencaps of stuff with awfully upscaled images and giant text because of how their phones are formatted, that also beg for the sources of pictures because they can't look them up on their phones, and, until recently, were the people that would ask for gif versions of webms because their phones can't run them. It's the same reason people hated them on forums back in the day. They were the obnoxious people that had to sign their posts with the fact they were posting on their phone or the kinds that complained about too many pictures being posted because it would melt their cpu. Not to mention their penchant for making short, low quality posts since it's too hard for a lot of people to make long posts on phones and many of them being too young/stupid to care. They're just second class citizens that are the negroes of posting.


I'm sure you'll all point to this as autism or tl;dr, but that will just be proving my point further, as any post longer than a twitter comment is just too much for some of you people. Feel free to disagree, but give me an actual reason why beyond just posting "lol, ur a faget" and being done with it.

No matter how much proof I post, you'll dismiss it as minor petty squabbling or "funposting," so why even bother? But you know what, I shall humor you just to prove my point further. Look at these low quality, throwaway posts. And remember, image.jpg is the easiest way to spot them because phones will often rename files as that.

Oh, and let's not forget the BLACKED raid threads which were mostly people abusing the airplane mode ip switch for faster reposts, much like Ruggarell.
>>344162674
And you really have proven my point by posting nothing but rhetoric. Maybe if you actually gave real reasons such as "It's not that bad because now even more people get to generate revenue for the site" or "you're blowing it out of proportion, seeing as how people will always make bad posts, even if we banned mobile IPs and had heavier moderation," but of course, you chose to go the easy way out and think that repeating one fragment of what I said counts as a counter argument.

Beyond its undeniable stylistic allure, Persona 3 is no more than a piss-poor social life simulator ineptly grafted onto a shoddy dungeon crawler. I found every moment playing this game to be unbelievably boring, and I attribute this not only to its shallowness and lack of difficulty, but also to the unreasonable amount of time wasted on loading screens and redundant conversations. Celebrated by journlolists and animu kids as a "breath of fresh air", or even as some kind of a savior to an overall lackluster and fast degenerating genre, Persona 3 serves at best as a reminder that JRPG fans are better off getting into SRPGs instead.

To unlock stronger personas you have to grind through multiple characters whining about their easily remediable, adolescent crises. During these conversations, which soon become therapy sessions, the friend poses a question all the while betraying hints of melodrama or a want of inspiration or encouragement, at which point you are supposed to select the response that you believe will afford the most points. This is mostly done with little difficulty. While these decisions do not affect the direction and outcome of the story, as I would have preferred, it is a rarity for JRPGs even to have choices at all, so in theory they are definitely not a bad idea. However the issue remains that these conversations waste several minutes in every simulated day for a brief moment of decision-making that plotwise has little effect.

While the battle system shares similarities with Nocturne's Press Turn System, in which the player is punished or rewarded accordingly for their actions, Persona 3 disappointingly simplifies it by only rewarding the player for their good actions. Whenever you exploit an enemy's weakness, that enemy is downed and you are rewarded with an extra turn. Once all enemies are downed an all-out attack becomes available in which, as the name implies, everyone attacks at once for massive damage.

And this is literally how every battle plays out:

Scan for weakness > exploit > all-out attack > repeat

But there is an even more exceptionally broken strategy: Once all enemies have been downed, you can forfeit the all-out attack and leave all of them stunned. Because their subsequent turns are spent on getting back up, this strategy effectively gives you a free full round of turns. And this simple move overshadows everything, with the strong tactical aspect that battles in the previous MegaTen entries were known for simply disappearing.
Despite all this, the developers still decided to assign Fuuka a supportive role in all battles. Her role consists of constantly exclaiming motivational cheers and battle information, such as how many enemies are present/left/downed, with the most unbearable shrillness. As if battles couldn't be any more embarrassing, every one is treated like a tutorial.

But there's more. The designers made the allies AI-controlled, probably to increase the immersion, but they did it so hamfistedly that they instead ended up increasing only frustration. Although allies do have generalized commands they will obey, they aren't the least bit reliable. Once an ally has downed an enemy, for instance, they will not continue on with the rest unless specifically commanded to do so, something which has to be done at the start of every round. Furthermore, gone from older Persona entries is persona management between characters (with the exception of the protagonist). Meaning each ally has a set persona which cannot be switched and, reminiscent of Avatar Tuner, these allies have a set weakness that can be exploited by the enemy. But worst of all is that your allies will acquire only a limited number of skills, and even fewer actually useful ones, rendering them even more useless. The allies, basically, at the height of their utility are a sort of punching bag which allow you to preserve the protagonist's health.

It should be noted that absent from Persona 3 are the traditional demon conversations. The method of acquiring new personas is now relegated to an effortless, card-swapping mini-game.

Compounding all the already unforgivable mistakes, and no doubt in order to drag out the length of the game and deter criticisms of its ludicrous ease, Persona 3 adopts an extremely absurd pacing setup wherein the player sinks a significant amount of time watching loading screens and pointless straitjacket dialogue scenes. Since days are split up into multiple parts (i.e. morning, afternoon, lunch time, etc.), the game is interspersed with loading screens that transition between these periods while notifying the player. Encountering these multiple times a day seriously challenged my desire to even continue playing the game. On top of that, either during lunchtime or at night, one or more friends call you up and pester you to spend time with them in the near future, and always with the same invitations with the exact same script. This is only to remind you that, yes, you have social obligations, and yes, people are annoying. Even before and in-between classes you'll have to subject yourself to brief conversations that really contribute nothing. And though I had initially thought I would be free from these constant interruptions while dungeon crawling, I soon discovered that this aspect of the game had also received the general nerfing treatment.

Every floor in Tartarus, the sole dungeon in the game, is randomly generated, and sections within the tower are visually differentiated by no more than a few minor details. Moreover, the enemy designs are among the laziest I've ever seen in a JRPG in recent memory. Enemies I encountered while climbing Tartarus were: a cube, a table, a hand, a snake, a bird, several variations of shadows, and so on, all with a tremendous number of color swaps. The developers simply failed to recognize that these uninspired enemy designs, as commonplace as they have been for years, were never excusable to begin with.

So if future Nintendo handhelds are abandoning dual screens how are Etrian Odyssey games gonna continue?

Once you complete several floors, a magical barrier obstructs further progression until the plot has advanced to a pre-determined day. I found this to contribute to two major problems. First, the idea of disorientating the player within a dungeon is ruined when the game, along with the lack of difficulty (the dungeon is not the least bit intimidating) and the ease of accessing teleportation devices, arbitrarily prevents deeper exploration. Second, until the day arrives when the game removes the barrier, several real-time hours often have to be wasted in school and daily activities. And, to top it all off, you are required to take the train and walk to every activity every single day. And this barrier is encountered just about after every boss, making it a very frequent occurrence. Although Persona 3 shamelessly wastes countless hours of your time in all sorts of ways, this barrier business is by far the biggest detriment to the game's flow.

So until the prescribed day arrives you have to return to the mundanities of evening events, where you can opt to raise the protagonist's charm, courage and academic stats by visiting coffee shops, karaoke, arcades, and so on. These engagements consist of no more than the protagonist entering the place of interest, doing the appropriate activity for a few seconds, and then a text notifying you that the relevant stat has risen. These stats, rather than enriching the experience, are wholly vapid and again waste several minutes daily. Maxing them out opens up new social links, but this yet again requires you to invest several more hours in these relationships. It just isn't worth it, and while skipping all daily events certainly shortens the downtime, this comes at the expense of acquiring stronger personas. And even then, you'd still have to endure all the loading screens and pointless dialogue. Either way, it is infuriating. Persona 3 is far too suffocating and unmindful of my precious time even to be considered playable.

Actually yes. This is your true nature coming out.

As soon as that earthquake hits, we'll all know to avoid you since you'll spend all of your time being terrible.

It's "irony" but that attracted real retards that hate video games, now we have ridiculous shit about people "hiding their power levels" since pressing buttons on a controller and clicking mouses apparently makes you into some kind of unapproachable Dragon Ball Z character that is far beyond mortal men. Now that I think about, the shit about hiding power levels is actually really condescending and proves how out of touch some people are, as you really believe that people are incapable of understanding you and that the filthy mortals will laugh at you just because they don't get your hobbies, proving they really do think they're better than others, even if they claim embarrassment.

It's because everyone here is insecure to be called a weeb, so they hate on everything that could make them look like a weeb. Persona 3 and 4 even though they have traits of weeb dating sims and such, they expand apon it by having interesting thematics and ideas, but gets overshadowed by the faggot that can't look beyond the cover. All in all Persona is subtly artistic but will always get overshadowed by it's weeaboo surface.

So why do people buy them?
I've made the mistake to buy one on my 3DS and it didn't even had an overworld or something, just a few places you could visit but the presentation was very two dimensional, the interactions with NPCs on elementary levels.
Most mechanics very plain useless or followed a counterintuitive pattern (so you'd have to be autistic to learn it)
I just thought to myself what a good game it could've been if only a halfway decent dev made it.
