Prob cause it was available on all major platforms on release.

[-] Ilflish@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

And it was an international release as well.

Does this include gamepass downloads? Either way that's great. I'm glad Atlus has recently brought their games over to PC and xbox

[-] GardenVarietyAnxiety@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Fk ya. More Persona pls.

Now if only FATLUS port other mainline Megaten games into PC/steam at reasonable price. Seeing Noctune on steam was like fever dream, not to mention that rumour SMTV for PC release from Geforce Now leak ;_;

Can't you just emulate them?

[-] Crafter72@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yes. You can emulate almost every mainline Megaten games. However, native pc port lets user to have accessibility (especially for casual user) instead of going through steps setup emulator. Paired that with reasonable ~~regional~~ price (except I doubt in the case of ATLUS/SEGA), they can have free money printer while at the same time adds more availability to how you play them.

From the wiki: “ of their psyche known as a Persona, which they summon by firing a gun-like object called an "Evoker" at their head.”

Ummm, what?

Early spoilers for P3/Reload, but yeah this is actually how you use your powers in P3. Skip to 1:24 if the time stamp doesn't work.

Trigger warning for anime teen shooting himself in the head, there is no blood or bits.

Anyways, I really like P3, I hope Persona 2 duology gets a remake like this (it won't).

Ah nothing like giving impressionable youth a game that makes them think if they blow their brains out they’ll get super powers.

I mean this game is set in and made by people in Japan, gun culture is very different there. "Impressionable youths" wouldn't even have access to a gun.

Also, the visual of teens shooting themselves in the head is very much a thematic point, as Japan's teen suicide rate is very much a systemic issue they were (and are still) grappling with when the story was written.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 11 points 10 months ago

Right. Also shooters makes you murderous and anime games make you a pedophile because no one ever can distinguish real life from games.

“Won’t somebody PLEEEEASE think of the CHILDREN?!”

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

How would that work? Considering I mean that past studies have always shown that this doesn't work like that for kids learning things from fictional works.

(nevermind that there's no way they'd have a gun except in some really ass backwards countries without any gun laws)
