I couldn’t stay interested for 12 hours. I wanted to like this game. I gave it an honest chance. Just didn’t like it.

Edit: spelling

Apparently it gets good after 12 hours. Yes, that’s what people are seriously saying.

Honestly if your game has to be played for TWELVE hours before it "gets good" I aint playing, thats such a shit defence. Skyrim was engaging in the first 5 minutes!

Does that mean Persona 5 is a bad game?

I was thinking about P5, too. Look it is one of my favorite games of all time but it's true the intro is super slow and it's hard to recommend to any person who isn't an RPG fan.

People have accepted JRPGs to be slow burns. You think P5 is slow. Try Legends of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, it is a 40 hour prologue to Trails in the Sky SC. (Incidentally my favorite JRPG series. Second to Suikoden. I like to think the spiritual successor to it. With its amazing world building and political intrigue plots.)

Tbh the first half of p5 is stronger than the second (not including royal). Or maybe I'm just tired of the whole fighting gods with the power of friendship type deal.

Persona 5 hooked me in immediately with the style and flair, so personally I don't think it's a fair comparison. If Starfields opening/my 50 hour playthrough was half as stylish as Persona 5 is Id absolutely be playing it more 🤷
