As someone who mainly plays JRPGs (the one exception being The Witcher III) I can say DOS:2 is a lot of fun. I got it about 2 weeks ago after watching Youtube videos of it and reading articles trying to see if it was for me and I haven't regretted it. It's very different and more akin to playing a video game version of DnD but it's worth the risk. If you want "deeper" this it it.

What do you mean by "lose" here? As long as Papyrus is still alive and wants to go on a date you can still access his house and the dog shrine. If you killed Papyrus you can not access the dog shrine (or any artisan spaghetti).

I have quite a few as well. I'll keep it short and sweet in bulleted format: Finding the secret entrance into Hyrule Castle in LoZ: LTTP at the start of the game. I received it when I was 3 and just spent my time cutting grass for months before I found it. My Grandmother and I taking turns playing Bubsy. The first time I rented Donkey Kong Country and being wowed by the graphics. Spending the entire summer of 3rd grade playing Super Mario: RPG because I had an allergic reaction to poison oak. Playing the original Mario Party so much with the neighborhood kids that I got a blister. Using a flashlight under the covers to play the Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance after bedtime. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow nearly blinded me. Going to Blockbuster to print off my Pokemon Snap stickers. My Dad trying video games for the first time. It was the original Super Mario. He immediately fell into a hole because he didn't jump. Never touched gaming again. My Dad revealing his hardcore pinball talents to me in an arcade as an adult. No clue. Stuffing towels at the bottom of the door so my parents wouldn't see me play the PS2 after curfew. I had just gotten Final Fantasy X and I wanted to play it soooo bad. Getting handed Persona 3 by a friend and using it to survive an extremely tough moment in my life. Na na na na na na naaaa, Katamari Damacyyyyyyyy Discovering trophies. Damnit. Trying my first MMO (Final Fantasy XIV) during a week long "staycation."

My main goals involve cleaning up my backlog, with few exceptions. The only "new" games I plan to get next year are Yakuza 0, Persona 5, and the Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood expansion. I'll spend the rest of year playing games I already own (or will soon own after Christmas). I absolutely refuse to buy new games next year aside from the previously mentioned exceptions. My targeted backlog for next year includes: Final Fantasy XV Steins;gate 0 I am Setsuna Stranger of Sword City Puyo Tetris (import) Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 1 Odin Sphere Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Ys: Memories of Celceta Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines Grand Kingdom Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet Caladrius Blaze (import) Assault Suit Leynos Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Mind = 0 Aegis of Earth MeiQ Mystery Chronicle: One Way Heroics Banner Saga Root Letter Hyper Dimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 Whatever version of Metal Slug it was that just released on the PSN

Agreed. It's absurd that the game about touching a mayonnaise jar gets a plat but an actual JRPG doesn't? I wish Sony had something more than just implied standards and I wish this studio pushed back about getting a plat.

As someone with limited time to play games I'm part of this site because I like the community and I like to complete and collect what trophies I can. Non-trophy hunters are just as much a gamer as those with plenty of plats. We just have different playing styles and life circumstances. If I like a game I'll go for it. If I'm done with a game I won't force myself to play. Time is too limited for that. I think mostly everyone here understands that. We're here because we're united by a passion for gaming. In that way we're all kindred spirits. Trophies also sometimes can add an element of stress onto a game. That's why I'm going to play Persona 5 blind. I don't want the trophies to spoil the story or ruin the experience.

I wish I could go back in time and tell baby Chelsea to choose a PS1 instead of an N64. That being said: The Shin Megami Tensei series (most notably Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga) The Shin Megami Tensei Persona series The Tales of... series Dragon Quest Disgaea Final Fantasy (most main numbered entries and the MMOs) Ys Lunar Xenogears/Xenosaga Wilds Arms The Legend of Heroes series Suikoden II Kingdom Hearts 1st person dungeon crawlers like Demon Gaze, Stranger of Sword City, Dungeon Travelers 2, and Operation Abyss

Is it getting a physical release or is it just on the PSN?

Okabe's English voice is J. Michael Tatum who is arguably a famous and successful voice actor in his own right. Just to put my 2 cents in to this debate... I'm usually a subs fan but I found myself more drawn to the english dub of Steins;gate. The biggest issue I had with the Japanese voice acting was Daru's voice. I couldn't take him seriously. However... the "cool son-of-a-bitch" moment is lost on the english dub. That in itself is almost unforgivable. Again, while I usually prefer subs above all else Steins;gate is an exception in that it could go either way. It's one of those rare instances where both dub and sub are nearly equal. I have to say that those who vastly prefer the sub to the dub are in a more favorable position in that they can play the game without qualms and watch Steins;gate 0 as it airs. Perhaps I'm strange in that I enjoy both. Side note: I haven't listened to the english cast of Persona 5 yet and I am scared shitless that Morgana will be as annoying as Teddie's voice. Here's hoping she lives up to her cuteness. I kinda wish we could have an animal pal like Koromaru instead.
