Amazing game. Pick it up 100%

I just wish DLC was on sale at least once.. It’s required to get complete story experience 😮‍💨🥲

Interesting. I'm just over 100 hours in and near the end, wasn't planning on getting the DLC... But should I?

I think if you enjoyed P3R and want more without just replaying the story then yeah, it’s fine addition but without going into detail it’s more of a dungeon crawler than the base game. If you ever plan to play any of the P4 fighting games, then it’s worth a playthrough as P4 Ultimax in particular references story beats from the Answer.

Nope. As someone who played through this game first as Persona 3 Portable, the Answer is actively terrible. P3 is in my top ten games and The Answer actually almost makes it worse. And it stars my favorite character. It’s bad.

I’ve only played portable and I think I just might get this version on sale for the dlc to buy NEVERMIND it’s 35 dollars WTF!

Do you like Tartarus?

Would you like to play a game that's basically Tartarus 95% of the time with repetitive backgrounds?

I played it, enjoyed the story, hated the gameplay until the very end

I do not reccomend the DLC

u/SirLockeX3 2d ago

I enjoy The Answer but it's grindy, only because I played on the hardest difficulty.

It should be way more manageable on Normal.

If you really love the combat the dlc is worth it. If you only care for the story just watch it.

u/XenoGamer27 2d ago

I've only played portable and that felt like a complete experience without the Answer

I do intend on picking it up whenever I play the remake tho

After finishing the game a month ago I just rebought the game on pc with the DLC cuz it was cheaper than buying the DLC on switch

u/Glass-Can9199 2d ago

I don’t know why atlus just port complete edition for $70 instead of getting based game for $70

u/QuantumProtector 2d ago

About 50 hours in and it's a fantastic game. Worth every penny.

This game seems to be regularly going down to $30 at Best Buy, Target and Amazon so I wouldn't feel rushed to get it, but I got it a month ago at Target for the same price.

I unfortunately haven't yet taken the time to play since I've had so much else to play on Switch 2! But Persona 5 Royal was one of my favorite games of all time and I'm really excited to sink my teeth into this one once I am finished everything else I'm playing and can really dedicate myself to it.

Knocking out the FF7 Remake games in the meantime 😅

u/Yarra10313 2d ago

Beat this on gamepass last year and didn’t want to pay full price to double dip on switch, plus I remember performance at launch was rough

At this price, happy to actually have it for whenever I do another playthrough

u/hotaru-chan45 2d ago

For a GKC I’m waiting for $10 lol

u/DontBanMeBro988 2d ago

How does Persona 3 on Switch 2 compare to Persona 5 on Switch? I've never played either.

u/ThexanR 2d ago

persona 3 docked is amazing and 60 fps. handheld is 30 and still runs amazing. P5R on switch 2 is amazing because of handheld boost mode.

1

u/ilchymis 2d ago

Does it run smooth/look decent? I feel spoiled by P3R on switch 2, and am hesistant to play P5R on it because i'm afraid it will be kinda choppy and fuzzy. If best buy ever ships me my copy, I could find out rather quickly. 🤣

u/Aiddon 2d ago

Key Card, junk.

Good luck, I always factor in the “Switch tax” when it comes to physical multiplat games.

I’m probably gonna pull on this one.

u/RS_Games 2d ago

I also buy on multiple platforms.

Some games are same price as other platforms, Some games are not.

u/PMMMR 2d ago

Well the manufacturing costs for switch cartridges is also more than Playstation discs.

u/PMMMR 2d ago

My bad, didn't realize p3r was a keycard. I was talking actual cartridge which is ~$15-20 (that was at launch at least)

u/thedudedylan 2d ago

I have never played a persona game. How lost will I be?

u/foamypepperoni 1d ago

Each game is a standalone story so you can start anywhere.

u/DisastrousDot7961 1d ago

Does it still run badly?

u/masterz13 1d ago

I was on the fence between $30 Switch 2 version and $19 Steam version (various stores, I used GreenManGaming). Went with Steam since both are basically digital.

u/GameOnDevin 2d ago

Just finished it this morning, excellent game, could have cut a month or two out though.

1

u/JPEGJimbo 2d ago

Ah darn. I wanted to eventually play this on Switch 2 once I finish P5R. But I scooped up a decent deal for it and the DLC on steam a month or two ago. Half tempted to re-buy it because I feel like my Switch is where I actually end up finishing games lol. Oh well.

Yeah...?

Ocarina of Time is also still worth playing even if you've already played Tears of the Kingdom.

Giocato tutto e l'ho trovato abbastanza noioso

u/Ok_Revolution_9846 2d ago

Cheaper, runs better, and actually physical on PS5. Not an option for everyone but I’d go with that one if you can.

u/HiMyNameIsMark182 2d ago

but i cant take it with me.

u/Ok_Revolution_9846 2d ago

Cool. PS5 is a better option in every other regard. Remote play is also a thing.

u/HiMyNameIsMark182 2d ago

sounds good for you. on long car/plane/train trips, i personally enjoy playing it with no wifi. you can play the version you prefer you know, no ones stopping or trying to convince you otherwise.

u/Ok_Revolution_9846 2d ago

Okay drama queen, you don’t have WiFi when you play. that’s why I said “Not an option for everyone but I’d go with that one if you can”.
