>even if I think Persona 5 while not god's gift to man isn't nearly as awful as some anons here make out to be
It was shit. To summarize,
>Combat's too easy, a much simplified version of older Persona games, and harder modes just ramp up how often you get fucked by RNG rather than change enemy behavior or something more creative
>Puzzles are way too easy and the game is constantly holding your hand on top of this
>The whole theme is about being rebels against society, but you're all goody two-shoes to a fault, and the theme is dropped towards the end for some other shit
>Except for the fact that you brainwash bad people into being good, that's morally dubious, but no one ever questions the morality of this because everyone you brainwash is black and white cartoonishly evil
>The only grey morality villain in a minor assassin character in some sidequest, who you brainwash without hesitation
>Your guns are all toys that only do real damage in magic pocket dimension land because breaking the law for a good cause is something bad people do, not good well behaved rebels like you, who want avoid upsetting Japan's politicians with positive depictions of minors engaging in law breaking behavior
>Constant unskippable pseudo-cutscenes to pad out playtime metrics in a game where you're supposed to go through NG+
>Tons of high level personas to unlock, but only a couple of superbosses in NG+ for you to actually use them on
>Calendar makes you think there's another dungeon, possibly a good use for all those mid-to-high tier personas, and then there's a fucking time skip
All it has going for it is some catchy music, which gets repetitive fast, waifufaggotry, and a stylish look. It's all dressing, no substance.
No, making localizers asshurt does not make up for it being a bad game. No, I did not play P5R, and I sincerely doubt it is worth my time.
I had many more complaints that at one point I had written multiple long form posts about this shit game, but it's been a long time now.
