48:43P5 is a visual novel disguised as a game
48:53feels too much of HS
48:56:_patpat::_patpat::_patpat:
49:19"What do you mean everyone is interested in Ann? She is seventeen. That's hella gross"
49:53It was suuuuper niche till P5. When P4G hit Vita people were like "Woah this is the best game on Vita. Where did this come from?"
50:01kind of strips the series of its stylistic identiy
50:11Maybe it's like you dont want .hack to become "persona like" and lose its personality?
50:27Mono's intrusive thoughts are about .dot hack and not being hungry rn
50:42i never played persona is it good?
51:15liminality (the concept) is a core aspect of .hack they cant afford to lose
51:17Yeah. They've kinda lost their way post GU and even GU wasn't perfect.
51:17it's not bad, only played 4 because she has the tomboy with the green jacket
51:22oh i see i wouldnt like it that much too
51:25@heriptide420 the P3 and ones before are good
51:26@theriptide420 Kind of? How old are you
51:45but I don't like the demon synthesis system that much
51:45Oh that's a blast from the past
52:05Yeah, game's a bit loud
52:20song is hella good tho
52:28Maaaaybe Zero will turn out ok on the basis that they don't need to adhere to previous canon
52:36It will probably be uncomfortable for you, Riptide
52:44It is VERY teen-coded
52:50Dot Hack is just really good in general
52:59yeah it's really teen-coded
53:21Except Persona 2 Eternal Punishment
53:30P2 EP is an all adult cast
53:45The combat is fine. If you can turn your brain off, Persona 5's combat is pretty good.
53:59need to check out P2:_peek:
54:18the best part of .hack zero is theyll probably have decent "real world" gameplay segments
54:53Part of the appeal of dot hack was that you had the POV off someone stuck in the game
