Persona 4 The Golden | Steam Edition

[Viq]

I picked this up on the way home and I really want to get started on it. I'm at what I hope is the final push in Persona 3 Portable though (climbing the tower in January), and it's fucking dragging so bad. I know if I don't finish that first, then I never will >_<

[Souj]

Man this game is really slow getting started. An hour in and I have done very little except press x to continue dialog.
Skin is nice though

Spoiler: show

[Kaisha]

You forgot to take the cover off the camera.

[Souj]

Yeah, I realized that after I took the picture.

[Doombear]

Oh god the intro movie looks so damn good on this fine OLED. Here we go!

Yeah you have a little bit longer of that if you've never played p4 before the game gets going.

I love my skin, although I ended up getting an exacto knife and cutting the screen part out cause I really didn't want anything over the screen.

[xopher]

My camera is not quite as good

But uh, make sure you pick up your free wallpapers for your Vita that match the skin. It looks really slick with those.

I haven't been this hype about a game in a while. I sat down and played it for four hours straight yesterday. Been a while since I did that on a non MMO.

[Takiwaki]

This game is amazingly well done, the attention to detail, the characters are great. No I never played the original title.

[Warudo Ecksu]

ohhh yeahhh baby 4 day weekend I'm all over this. I'm too afraid to put the skin on my vita b/c I'm certain I'll screw it up

[xopher]

My skin went on perfectly first try. Not even any air bubbles. It's crazy.

[Souj]

I had to try like 5 times to get it on right. And even then, I ended up getting some little fibers/dust on the thing, which I still haven't bothered figuring out how to get the off.

[Franzer]

Haha yeah I screwed mine up. I ended up getting an exacto knife and cutting out the screen part and then put it on. Looks awesome.

[Souj]

man, with everything going on with this game, I feel like I should be using a giant guide.
But I prefer not to use any guides on first playthroughs.

Ya don't use a guide, just play however you want for the best experience the first time. Though when you get to december 2/3 I recommend googling that part as it determines if the game ends then or if you continue.

[Correction]

It took me a lot of tries to get the little protector on. Little bits of tape get the dust off the vita/protector and bending the whole protector into a U shape and applying it from the center outwards like a band-aid combined to get a proper, clean fit with no bubbles.

[xopher]

Yeah don't use a guide with this game. I did on PS2 and I never finished it because it was frustrating flipping back and forth every time I was having to make a decision, answer a question, or whatever. I spent more time with the book than the game.

Also there was only a guide for the PS2 game. There aren't any for Golden and a lot of stuff has changed.

[Correction]

There's a few japanese wikis up but no 'ROUND ONE MAX CLEAR' guide yet. Not that those guides are very fun to follow, just play the game :D

[Souj]

what's the average completion time for this game for a single game. at least for the original game.

[Exoduso]

It takes a while, that's for sure lol.
This game looks gorgeous on the Vita, BTW.

[KuroTsuki]

If you're trying to do a bit of the Social Links/side quests without a guide, it'll take around 70-80 hours. Maybe about 5 more hours, if you do the True Ending. It took me around 85 hours my first time through on the PS2 version. Since this version has more events/trips, you can probably add another 10+ hours to that.

Oh, and that's recorded play time. Actual play time will probably be a lot more. Especially 'cause of those fucking random Mudo/Hama's insta-killing your MC and making you lose hours of progress. I'm sure I put in well over 100 hours my first time through.
