Thread 719939076

Widely regarded as the greatest entry in mainline Shin Megami Tensei (and far superior to a piece of shit like Persona 3-5) why haven't you played it /v/?

>>719939076 (OP)
I've yet to play 1 yet, so I'd play that first.
I've played all the other mainline games besides those two, so it's just a matter of getting around to it.

>>719939076 (OP)
I'm busy playing good videogames

>>719939076 (OP)
I did.

3>2>4>1>5

BTW

>>719939076 (OP)
I did play it, I liked more SMT1 more.

I hope we see the Godly spheres again in a future SMT. (Dx2 doesn't count)

>>719939076 (OP)
its too old

>>719939076 (OP)
Aged like shit

>>719939076 (OP)
>to a piece of shit like Persona 3-5
You're a desperate loser
Nothing about you will ever be interesting

>4 > 5
Absolutely fucking not.

When will SMT fans take the Etrian pill?

>>719939076 (OP)
I tried but I got bored. the only SMT I ever finished was 3. Had a cool vibe to it.

>>719939076 (OP)
I have. I don't dislike it, but I wouldn't rate it more highly than any of the other games in the series I've played (or Persona 3-5, for that matter.)

>>719939076 (OP)
IV Apocalypse is better

>>719939076 (OP)
I almost finished smt 1 but my save got deleted. I'll just start from the beginning and play through all of the games at some point, probably after my metroid or sonic marathon.

>>719941185
4 clears 5 easily. babby's first smt (persona edition) isn't beating anything

>>719939076 (OP)
I don't think it's the best, but its really enjoyable.
it's a shame we'll probably never see the PS1 version translated

>>719939076 (OP)
>Widely regarded
Who the fuck cares what people on the internet think?

>>719941185
only fake SMT fans like V more than anything

>>719942147
Fake SMT understand the series better and play the games more than true fans by definition

>>719942204
True. The real fans moved on after 4A.

>>719941185
5 sucks. It's Persona-lite

>>719942327
4 is pretty damn Persona-lite assuming he is bundling 4 and 4A since he didn't list them separately

>>719939076 (OP)
But i did

>>719939076 (OP)
I already play it. I love Bastet and the Nekomata variant in that game. Thank goodness that Jesus, his Mom, and Satan can easily carry everyone in the final battle.

>>719942392
I only played 4. I don't think 4 is persona-lite at all.

>>719942498
My statement depends on the possibility of him bunding 4A with it

>>719942614
k, but I don't care about his opinion
i only care to say that 5 sucks and that your opinion is wrong

>>719942743
You literally just said you haven't played the game I gave my opinion on

>>719939076 (OP)
two reasons:
bad translation
the best version is untranslated

>>719942820
Bundled or not, doesn't matter how bad 4A is when 4 is good and 5 sucks

>The mediocre SMT 3 rehash is worse than SMT 4 because. Uh. It just is, bro! Bersoner!!!!!

4 was a fucking travesty. Absolutely abysmal pacing, shit dungeons, and fucking awful writing. A massive step back from both 3 and SJ, and a hard pivot towards Persona-fying SMT. 4A at least played well, but leaned even further into the shit writing. 5 is yet *even worse* in writing, but goddamn, at least the team building is good fun. 4 doesn't even have that going for it. The idea that it's anything but at the bottom alongside If in the "Aw, c'mon, we had some good ideas, guys!" club is fucking ridiculous.

>>719943438
5 sucks. 4 is better. Better music. Better world. Better Humans. Better story. 4 has dungeons. Combat is good in both, tho. 5 is open world. That's bad. 5's humans suck. That's bad. 5 lacks dungeons. That's bad. 5's MC is gay. That's bad. 5 got a persona-style re-release that didn't make the game any better. That's bad.

>>719939076 (OP)
I did, it's great. Though for me
3 > VV > 4A > 4 > SJ > 2 > 1
