    I'd love for the Answer to be remade, even as DLC. Remember, Seperate Ways was DLC in RE4R and noone cared, everyone loved it. So why should everyone lose their minds if they have The Answer as DLC? A whole new version of the game would be excessive, but if they'd make further gameplay improvements like in P5R, and hell, even add FemC, then I'd absolutely accept it.

    I believe the reason why Atlus makes the enhanced versions instead of dlc is because of marketing potential. Like it or not, it is much easier to make a hype for a new game than a dlc, this way you can make a whole new ads campaign with things such as steelbooks, plushies, figures, and in general it makes players more excited than something that they already own, or at least that's what Atlus wants us to believe.

Steam and that is just atlus being lazy and not doing something for the game to feel like it would in a software that actually runs the game great (in my opinion)

    Such a huge part of Persona 3's enjoyability for me is the soundtrack, and I'm gonna be honest, I'm not feeling the new vocalist they got for Reload. All of the redone songs from the original with her in them have been such downgrades. The new stuff she's done is a lot better in my opinion, but she just cannot match what Yumi Kawamura was able to do back in the day. I understand that Yumi's 60 now, and her voice was damaged by Covid, it's just unfortunate that Azumi Takahashi isn't able to match. No hate to her though, she is very talented, and the new stuff sounds good.

    About your last point, if they really do a golden/royal rerelease, unless they add enough content to be a good addition then I just won't buy it. Even then, I might not even buy it at full price. I only played P5 Strikers recently because I got it for 30 bucks. I'm glad I waited, because it may be a good game, it's not full price good. I want to support Atlus only when I believe they deserve the money. I've seen people in youtube comments saying if later they release P3R with femc they'd pay full price for it because they "just don't care" It saddens me how many people are okay with being extorted by Atlus.

    • @ardentgold
      @ardentgold 5 місяців тому

      I totally agree. Sure people can spend their money however they want, but the way I see it, there’s a lacking sense of self-respect when people willingly pay full-game prices for DLC content when that’s just not the industry standard anymore.

      I agree but maybe people just dont have as high expectations as you do. If your someone who has a lot of games they like your going to be more fussy what you buy. But since there isnt a series out there so addicting for me i dont mind paying them full price they deliver better content than some games and it costs a fortune to make of course prices are always dear.

      @@schionaltar8079 yes, I believe DLC culture got really bad over the years and people started accepting less and less content. If I think back to the older Sims games you would get almost a whole game worth of content every expansion, but now Sims 4 DLC is such crap for what you get, it's a real shame. However I'm able to appreciate good DLC in modern games.

    Amazing analysis of P3 man, I’m really hoping Reload is a good game too.

Let’s just hope there’s no P3ReRe, but knowing ATLUS they’ll likely have The Answer as DLC or a seperate game.

    I disagree. What's the point of roll playing? I like the influences idea that if you role play you get rewarded. If you role play as chaotic good but then want certain game benefits (like stealing coins) that doesn't fit your character, you're not really role playing. There should be a punishment as in your alignment changes and some other effects as you have to face up to what you did makes you uncomfortable and challenges you on a intimate level.
