The protagonist yelling “ARAMASA” is equally as satisfying when Ryuji screams “PERSONAAA” lol

This game is a literal succubus straddling away my life and I'm okay with it.

Cry no more, a PC port with expanded story and content was just announced.

This game was amazing!  Perfect combat, perfect exploration, great art direction and great demon designs.  The only issue with the game is that it's not persona 5.  Score - 4/10.  Hopefully atlus will fix that with an update.

SMT in a nutshell
"You wouldnt want to be square like those law nerds, have some fun with chaos!"
Later:"I have made an error, dead babies litter the streets"

I dont really care if the main storyline is shallow, the sidequests in this game are fantastic. I saved mermaids from a fucking PAZUZU
I HAVE LET THE HLRNY DEMONGIRLS INTO TOKYO
I HAVE KILLED THE GOD OF BIRDS CAUSE I THOUGHT THAT HE WAS ONE OF THE FOUR CHINESE GODS I NEEDED TO KILL BUT NO I JUST KILLED THE GOD OF BIRDS AHHHHH

The story absolutely did fall a bit short. So many great concepts were introduced that left me even more captivated by the world around the protagonist. My main issue with the game is that they didn't focus enough on those concepts and ideas. Outside of that, gameplay and world environments are amazing and I loved every second of this game (Shiva one shot my team)

10/10 vid btw

“SMT5’s story is easily one of the weakest I’ve seen in a RPG”

Every Pokémon game
(except BW)

As a big fan of SMT in general this is up there with my favourites such as Devil Survivor, DDS and the Raidou games (not including persona) and it is the only game in the series I actually want to 100% due to how rewarding the exploration and combat feels

P.S. great vid

You didn’t have to not compare it to Persona but I’m so glad you did! Shin Megami Tensei’s identity has been so intrinsically linked to Persona ever since Persona overtook it in popularity and it drives me nuts seeing SMT get compared so frequently to its sister series when really they’re both unique and standalone. Great review as well, I couldn’t agree with your thoughts more!

Ah yes…. Nahobino my favorite persona 5 character

Yakko really came into his own in the past couple years. Before I could see a lot of similarities between his and karp's videos, but now I see him really showing his own stage presence, joke nuance, and writing style. Always happy to get another video, thanks yaggo!

I swear the first time I’ve beaten Nocturne the first thing I said was “I don’t want to see this game ever again in my life” and then I bought the HD Remaster, that stuff grows on you in such a weird way.
V instead is a banger, tons of fun but there’s a ton of dumb stuff like that secret superboss; not for the fight itself, easily the best in the game, rather for the route you can take by beating it being extremely easy in comparison to that fight, the whole endgame becomes a cakewalk because of level scaling being so heavy in this game

I'm pleading to everyone who watches this video and even has a passing interest in this game. Please buy it. Do it for us so that Atlus doesn't send SMT to its room without any supper yet again.

And while you're at it, make sure to buy ten copies of Metroid Dread. Just a suggestion.

I loved Shin Megami Tensei 5 regardless of a lacklustre story and endings the gameplay and world exploration was just excellent

"What if just became god, I'm so much cooler." Is the main similarity with Nocturne and V to me. I'm not a human with a computer on my arm, a something better. Now let me brawl with a snowman.

"I'll stop being petty soon. I'll promise."
Me: No, keep going. I suffered threw SMT3 final dungeon too.

“You are not meant to feel safe in the netherworld” flashback to my first 20hours of gameplay before I figured out the sound cue for full moon was not in fact a sound cue for impending doom 😂😅🙁😕😖😑

I absolutely love how customizable this game just beat Camael with the help of mermaid who I’ve had since the beginning.

11:12 I love this part of the game, taken straight from strange journey. I love the fear of god so much because of how hard it goes and looking at it from this perspective. Going through an unknown world, where demons are just jumbled masses in front of you during your first encounter. During a normal battle, the battle theme plays after choosing combat as an option instead of diplomacy or running like here, but the heavy violin lasts long enough to be the first turn of an average encounter. After this point if the enemy isn't wiped out a choir like noise is where the music goes, and by the time the choir is done, the violin returns harder than ever to signify the battle's likely gone south since if a battle's gone on longer than 4 turns in this series, something's wrong and you need to focus. I love the feeling of having the battle theme bot play until combat is the player's final decision and it works so well for this series that every battle is a battle for your life and every encounter bestows the fear of god
