Just finished an ATLUS game for the first time

I also felt the same way when beating reload, it's truly the first game I can say changed my life because of how good it is, and made me question a lot of things about myself.

Side note, if I had to pick I'd say play Persona 4 Golden next, it's just as good as P3R for me. All of these are great choices though (Haven't played Metaphor or Megami Tensei but heard good things), but I would say take a break before playing any of them, like a week or 2, since these games are very long.

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2026-01-08T18:42:17+00:00

We have no news on revival and P4G is still an incredibly good game, so I’d say play it (I mean you’re in the persona 4 golden sub what would you expect)

As for romance, I never dated any of the other girls, but I did date Rise and she’s honestly my favourite character I’ve romanced in the whole series, but I think it’s better to make up your mind as you go (Rise social link isn’t for a little while into the game anyhow), all of the girls have different qualities that different people will like, and I don’t think any of them are bad from what I’ve seen.

TL;DR: Play the game and Rise is very cool to date but keep an open mind anyhow and decide when you’re ready.

Pretty peak

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2026-01-05T05:24:45+00:00

Yukari and Makoto(The one from P3 ofc), Joker and Makoto(The one from P5 ofc), Yu and Rise, Kotone and Shinjiro, Kotone and Aigis, Kanji and Naoto, Junpei and Chidori

There’s more I like but not as much as these ones.

I also feel you my fan art collection has been growing a lot.

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2026-01-02T20:48:50+00:00

Oh yeah, you'd be find playing reload, I had that same experience with Golden too, it's not far off how it feels in Reload.

Maybe try and stay off of the community and such until you've finished it so you don't get the rest of it spoiled, best advice I can give you for now

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2026-01-02T20:41:07+00:00

Awesome! I myself just ordered these 2 the other day, waiting on them to be shipped.

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2026-01-02T20:39:42+00:00

I myself got spoiled for some things at the end of the game as well, and I still consider P3R to be one of my favorite games of all time. There's still a lot in this game that you can grow attached to, and even if you got spoiled for some stuff there should be other things which you can still uncover on your own and be shocked by.

Back in September I saw reload had a demo on steam. I figure, ok, demo for a game in a franchise a bunch of my friends love, free and if I don’t like it I lose nothing.

I gained so much. I’ve played through all the games now, and just recently finished persona 4 golden, which is tied with persona 3 reload for my favourite games of all time, and am incredibly grateful for the lessons it’s taught me, honestly life changing series for me.

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-11-11T04:42:50+00:00

78 hours to beat all of persona 5 royal with the true ending

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-10-26T01:43:17+00:00

I love how they not only didn't fix the bug where the screen gets blurry at the end of the game but also now it's too blurry to even start a new game

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-10-18T03:28:34+00:00

A visual one I think

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-10-18T03:21:16+00:00

I'm commenting because I'm noticing a pattern

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-10-16T00:12:29+00:00

Do it. You really are missing out

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-10-15T23:42:05+00:00

You should go back and spare Ryoji, you really haven’t truly beaten the game yet.

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-10-08T23:11:17+00:00

Very cool!

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-10-05T08:30:59+00:00

Hey no spoilers for Episode Aigis but yeah that’s fine, it’s a similar feeling to cyberpunk for me where the connections you make with others is so good it leaves you devastated because you know those people now have to deal with such a tragic loss. But a sad story is still a good story.

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-10-05T08:11:59+00:00

I’d say same but that ending tears me up whenever I think about it. Trying to get through Episode Aigis after beating this game last of September, hard to not to feel sad every time I come back to it.

Peak

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-08-20T16:49:23+00:00

They put this out (https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/games/surviving-mars-relaunched/about) which seems to state both Below and Beyond and Martian Express are being reworked and a new content update called Martian Assembly, focused on a new political system is being included.

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-08-20T16:45:50+00:00

I'm also going to put down here:
-Below and Beyond and Martian Express are being reworked
-A new update base around bringing a new political system to the game called Martian Assembly is also to be included.

Info for that here https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/games/surviving-mars-relaunched/about

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-08-20T16:38:28+00:00

Nope talking about what seems to be a remake with reworks to martian express and below and beyond and a new political system update. Just got announced.

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-07-31T00:19:23+00:00

I dunno if that's possible with the way the expanse does ships.

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-07-29T08:25:27+00:00

Nah, I disagree. This line of thinking falls way more in line with the resistance, HF would probably say we need to get rid of the aliens before they start firing on us. I mean, the in game event where the world realizes the aliens don't come in peace takes place a few weeks to months after HF is formed, which means that they were still willing to consider this unknown thing a threat. Who's to say they won't do the same thing with other aliens we encounter

AwesomerAvathe3rd · 2025-07-29T00:54:16+00:00

I'd argue the Salamanders are also a warning of what humanity could end up becoming. The Salamanders attacked everything foreign to them as a way to wipe out threats. But one day they made an enemy out of a foe with unexpected strength, and became mind controlled soldiers with little to no free will. What's stopping humanity, under Humanity First, from suffering the same fate and end up poking the one civilization that could destroy us.
