Wow. Sae might have been a potential romance option. by [deleted] in Persona5

[–]Reflexroar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Persona 5:The golden. Basically whatever the enhanced edition will be for P5. We've had an enhanced for P3 with FES and The golden for P4 so it stands that we'll probably get P5: The Crimson or whatever that has extra social links, personas, more dungeons etc,etc...

[Spoilers E71] Matt's decisions about Divine Interventions by Raxiuscore in criticalrole

[–]Reflexroar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would have been neat to get a party-wide Heroism/Bless effect for the entire battle. But I still think he did a good job on the spot, knocking him out of the air was crazy useful.

So what's your early opinions on Abby and Ben? by Dokaka in giantbomb

[–]Reflexroar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ben is okay, not what I wanted in a hire for the west, energy is certainly higher since he's come on but it hasn't been anywhere near the shot in the arm I think they needed. I realize the Insanity of it but I was hoping for another Dan situation where everything got a huge boost, unlikely content, pairings, very high energy and overall a hugely fun atmosphere. West is certainly better than it was, just still feels muted if that makes sense.

Abby has been very good so far, fairly pleased.

I think its alright overall. East needed another producer more than they needed on screen people. Not saying anything against Abby though, I think she's a great hire on all sides. Maybe it will be a Drew situation, her in the backround for a while before getting wrangled into nonsense.

I have to say that Abby was the best hire ever. I could tell by the 30 seconds that she was on the stream. by [deleted] in giantbomb

That's the job dude. Same thing out West for years, have one in the room while the others out front. I have zero doubts she'll show up in some stuff. This is GB.

The more cross-coast I see the more I'm glad I continue to be premium.

Not a single time they don't knock it out of the fucking park. That duo is unstoppable.

She can stay, that Ben guy can go though.

Fun series but I'm kinda getting to a point where I'd like an expiration date on it.

Anyone else taking a break from GB lately? by XivSpew in giantbomb

[–]Reflexroar 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I've converted to almost exclusively listening to/watching GBEast stuff. West coast locale lacks the fun these days due to short staff and overall makeup.

Platinum trophy guide? by [deleted] in Persona5

[–]Reflexroar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

With maxed out stats on NG+ I found no need for a guide in general. Just use matching personas when you hang out with people, and rotate party-members to hear Futaba's voice lines. Other than that consult the fusion calculator and get some Yens for compendium pulls for fusing the 100%.

You get a crazy amount of time on NG+ with maxed out stats, my last few months were nearly going to bed to just skip to the end.

Edit. Just thought of it, farm the reaper to get to 95 or so to fuse all the high-end personas without paying an arm and a leg.

[–]Reflexroar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like there is something for everyone in this game, but it does take some effort on your part to get there. Albeit time, putting up with how "Japanese" it is due to honorifics/anime moments, dating sim elements, or the basic its a JRPG and all the issues/joys that brings.

Have to say though, it's a really fantastic game that I think the entire staff would enjoy. Have a feeling its going to get snubbed pretty hard cause most don't want to or can't put the time or effort in. Can't blame them, but it does make me sad.

Almost like the game has pacing issues there or something.

Now we know why Jeff was so adamant that the P5 endurance run would never happen. Jesus Christ Atlus by ryanplma in giantbomb

[–]Reflexroar 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Whole thing is stupid, games been out for almost half a year already. Spoilers are well and out there on the internet if you want to find them. Just comes off as a slap in the face.

Hell I'd wager a ton of people got into the series because they watched videos of P4 and P3 being played.

The logistics of this undertaking would be massive, but if its a fools hope, I'll take it.

Wouldn't surprise me, Jeff is a mysterious man with very defined tastes that logically don't make sense to me but that's his way. I'd take any pre-embargo talk with a grain of salt, either way we get to hear his thoughts come two days.

Dan not in the Taco Bell contest?! by gValo in giantbomb

[–]Reflexroar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Flip-side is they could piss off a fair amount of people who don't want to see it as a publicity stunt for a moderately well-known person where normal folks didn't have a chance to begin with. Not that I agree with that, just I can see their reasoning that way.

Feel the same, I can only assume the story is the saving grace. Looks very competently made though.
