ElectriCole 5 Posted October 13 Otti, Lift, Daz, and a couple of others were arguing discussing whether or not metaphor was a persona game a couple days ago or soNot sure if it was in this chat or the metaphor chat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawk222_1550644792 16 Posted October 13 imo, it feels a bit weird since it's still an atlus game. it's like if pokemon company released a new game that wasn't pokemon or related at all but was a turn-based monster battling game with elements Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noleen#7811 3 Posted October 13 bloodborne / dark souls ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElectriCole 5 Posted October 13 I mean, SMT is a thing and is that a persona game? or is a persona game considered an SMT game? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElectriCole 5 Posted October 13 Also another valid comparison Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noleen#7811 3 Posted October 13 i haven't played any persona games so metaphor to me is just a jrpg with a calendarclosest have played i think are atelier games, also that schoolgirls game "blue reflection" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawk222_1550644792 16 Posted October 13 smt came first, so i think it's more appropriate to call persona an smt game in that case Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElectriCole 5 Posted October 13 so does that make metaphor an SMT game?Like I think at this point, it's just semanticsLike look at ubisoft, they make a bunch of open-world games, but they aren't all a part of the same series or franchise ya know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raiden94 1 Posted October 13 Yeah I'm on Coles side- saying Metaphor "just persona" is like saying KH is FF or something.People are just salty at Persona 5 for being popular. Thats really what it comes down to lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hawk222_1550644792 16 Posted October 13 idk man, i look at all the souls games from from and i don't see much in terms of sameness (aside from the direct sequels), they manage to differentiate their stuff enough. i look at ubisoft's stuff and, for the most part, it's the same thing. but whenever talk about persona and smt and metaphor come up, it all just blends together for me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElectriCole 5 Posted October 13 No offense, but that feels like a personal issue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawk222_1550644792 16 Posted October 13 i'll get hate for this, but it's like call of duty in that sense Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElectriCole 5 Posted October 13 Ok that's crazy hold onI need you to elaborate on that just a bit more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raiden94 1 Posted October 13 If we are talking from soft all of those games are hella different from each other, art design and suchThe mechanics are similar but they have different mindsets it's hard to explain unless you've played themLook at Lies of P everyone said "this is just Bloodborne' until they played it and it's a hella unique title Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElectriCole 5 Posted October 13 but that wasn't fromsoft right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raiden94 1 Posted October 13 True- I branched off into soulslikes as a whole mbThis is extreme but Sekiro and Bloodborne are not the same game lolElden Ring is totally different than DS 1-3 and not just cause you can jump lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otti#8624 26 Posted October 13 Yakuza with Judgment too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otti#8624 26 Posted October 13 Which is also by Sega Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raiden94 1 Posted October 13 Judgment is totally different than Yakuza ye thats a good example Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElectriCole 5 Posted October 13 that one kinda goes in hawks favor because they're both a part of the overall yakuza/like a dragon franchise though right? even though it's a spin off? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raiden94 1 Posted October 13 True yesBut the types of stories are different, talk about different things Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
