Must’ve been a glitch because I see the season pass for $2.99

Not sure, but I claimed each one on my account this afternoon.  And I don't think that I ever bought a season pass for that game although I remember it being a Plus monthly game a while back.  Never mind then..

Persona 5 (Royal) is the Final Fantasy 7 (at the time of release) of the series. People who weren't even in to the SMT universe got pulled in by it. It is by far the best starting point.


You’re literally thinking of Persona 3, though. The Megami Tensei IP was pretty obscure in the West until P3 came out, then suddenly Atlus was popular.

I really can't remember which game it was. Best guess is maybe Digital Devil Saga, but I'm not 100% sure. That's at least the right era.

Sounds like I'd be fine to start with 5 when that comes out, and I might check out the others eventually. Thanks, all.

I only partially played one Persona/SMT game 15 years ago. Don't even remember which one.

With P5 coming to GamePass quite soon, and the others a while later, am I safe to assume the games are only mildly connected (like Final Fantasy, for instance) and I'd be fine to start out with 5 versus waiting for 3 and 4?

They have references and or cameos in the case of p3 for p4 and vice versa but otherwise they don't directly connect to each other story wise. So it's safe to play them without having any order.

The biggest thing between them is that p3 had you explore dungeons at night and doesn't have skill selection via fusion. 4 and 5 relegated dungeons to daytime which was a terrible idea. Neither replaced night time segments with more content.

4 vanilla while not having skill selection did have your 2 party members lose weaknesses when the link increases to a certain level.

Got a PS5 today thanks to FB Marketplace. $600 for disc version and 3 controllers. I'm surprised Ratchet and Clank isn't in PS+ collections, pity. Looking forward to Iron Man VR with more stable performance.

 

What's the cheapest way for Spiderman Remastered? I'm playing Miles Morales via Plus and there's a $20 unlock option but there's got to be something else I imagine.

First congrats and second nope that is the only way to get spiderman remastered. I've never seen it go on sale so I'm assuming $20 will always be the price for it. I will say I think $20 is worth it for the performance raytracing mode it's beautiful.

If you have a pro membership at gamestop you can get $5 off a PSN card every month too. I don't even have to go into a store to do it anymore. First or second of every month I just go on the site add a $10 PSN card and then at checkout I can apply the pro $5 monthly coupon.

You can still get two $10 PSN ($20 total) for $10 every month after coupon by doing it in-store first and then online immediately. Just make sure to screenshot the $5 off code (via GS app) before going into a store. The $5 off coupon code disappears from the app once you used it in-store.

More of a loophole than stealing IMO

Also, Gamestop has been stealing from customers since their inception.  Any chance to tax their ass should be taken.  Just my opinion.

Did you play online at all or just by yourself? I was facing a similar issue and then watched a video where the narrator mentioned it only registers after you play online. I didn't really feel like playing PvP so I gave it a shot on the "KO-OP" towers and it worked, even with the other player backing out before we even played a match meaning I essentially did nothing.

Solid set of numerous additions. Obviously heavy on DQ and AC (not necessarily a bad thing given the large number of games in those series), but there's a smattering of other games at least. Sad that they are just flat-out refusing to offer Syndicate and the AC Chronicles games on PS5 rather than fixing them. Aside from that, only complaint is a lack of PS1/PSP/PS2 stuff.
Better than September (which was way better than the shit in August), hopefully they keep it up.
