Critics aren’t even listing this as a top 50 game of the 2010s, is Persona 5 really THAT bad?

I did; and I may have supported the mighty numbuh 9 scam, get a download key, forgot the password and bought the game at full price.

Because it isn't. Any Etrian Odyssey has more place in such a ranking.

I'm mostly talking about SMT and Persona 2.

The demon negotiation and ability to use guns are back. And although its not a gameplay mechanic like it was in Persona 2, it was cool to see rumors being spread about you around school and on the street.

can i have your switch if you're not using it

The newspaper girl was mostly parroting the plot.
The hobo ended up as a quest for a Social Link.
Did any of these you mention have a narrative that played out through the year or where just filler talking about the phantom thieves?

SMT/Persona was a niche series for the longest time. It only gained some popularity among casuals during the release of P4, and didn't become a household name until P5. Most people still didn't know about the series until Joker became a Smash character.

Also, we're talking 10 years of games. That's a fuck-ton of games. You can't be surprised that somebody isn't going to place a niche weeb game in their top 50, regardless of how comfy the game is.

>loved P5 when it came out
>started hating it more and more when it got popular with normalfags and their dead horse beating of memes and "waifus"
>now hate P5 and call it shit

Anyone else do this

I'll grab it in a few months when it hits the bargain bin.

NOPE.
I'll emulate it though!

I purchased the game once, that should be enough.
