This is like if a shitty developer tried to rip off Persona but didn't realize what made those games good. Terrible writing, terrible story, tedious gameplay/combat; I cannot believe this was done by the team that did P3-5. As someone that loved those games I'm so unbelievably disappointed by this one.

And here I thought twitter trannies had the worst takes, thanks for proving me wrong OP

Hashino and co's egos got too big and they were given too much free reign to make a "new" game, and they made a shitty Persona-like simple as that

>>715170027 (OP)
Writing, story and gameplay was good, though.
What sucked were the companions being meh looking and the job system being thought out poorly.

>job system being thought out poorly.
This is the one that pisses me off the most. You're basically expected to know which archetypes are needed at any given time otherwise you're just thrown into fights with no warning and you're just fucked.

serves you right for playing nip-slop

>>715170740
the protagonists is the ugliest of the bunch, I won't play the game because of him

I'm not saying it's woke; I'm saying the themes are heavy handed and boring. I don't give a fuck about the different races because it doesn't correlate to real world racial strife at all. Nobody irl hates people because of the way they look; they hate them because the so many ethnicities' cultures cause problems for everyone else. That's not what's happening in Metaphor.

>>715172228
Retarded. The race of the MC is hated because they are the monsters. The beastfolk are hated because they are thieves.

>>715172381
You don't get it I guess. Maybe your fellow redditors will give you the hugbox you so desperate need

>>715170027 (OP)
Was the story/writing that bad RELATIVELY speaking? RPGs usually have shit stories so something mediocre like Metaphor is already better than average.

>>715172464
>NOOO the racial conflict doesn't confirm to my modern day political views
Kys retard.

95% new hired devs + 3 main persona guys: composer, director and artist
it's a miracle it plays and feels like persona 5

>>715172465
This year I've played Chrono Cross, Clair Obscur, and now Metaphor. Chrono Cross is a bad game too, but at least its story, along with CO's, kept my interest far more than Metaphor's.

>>715172465
RPGs have good stories. That's the main draw you little retard.

>>715172585
Cross did Trigger’s cast dirty I heard

>>715172757
It absolutely did, though that's not really my issue. My issue is more with the combat and overall gameplay, but I also didn't have the attachment to Trigger that some do (though I do love it). Hardcore Trigger fans I imagine lost their collective shit when they saw how much they butchered its legacy in the third act of Cross

That's the case for all JRPGs though.

>>715173505
Yeah, I think I've slowly been coming to the realization in the past few years that I don't actually like JRPGs

If I had a nickel for every post-apocalypse game about utopia where several different groups of people of one society hate each other, come out during 2024 I would have two nickels, not a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Anymore goal moving you wanna do inceloid?

>>715174013
What's the other one?

>>715174004
Yeah because it rode Persona's coattails. This doesn't signify anything.

>>715174168
Frostpunk 2, a city building game that takes place during a second ice age that happens during the industrial Revolution.
In 2, you have to deal with several idealogical factions that all have their own idea on how to achieve a utopia in the wasteland, and in the final chapter the faction you least support kills a member of a council member of the faction you supported the most, resulting in a civil war that threatens to destroy the city.

>>715174741
lmao i don't even care about P6 anymore after playing Metaphor. I'll probably play P4R tho

>>715174741
OP claims that he hate the game for those reasons, but in truth he's seething that no one is dateable in this game so he using that to shit on the whole game by bullshitting everything else about the game

>>715175059
Motherfucker I'm married. Why the fuck would I give a shit about whether or not I can honk some anime beastling?

>>715175334
If that the case, then why are you raging at my post by calling me a motherfucker? If anything, your comment just proved my point.

>>715175623
It's just a word. I say shit like that to my friends and family all the time.
