Frick no, it's God awful.
SMT 5 is more like a sandbox game which is funny because the game is entirely a desert.
That's just a straight up lie. Besides the level scaling, the combat is perfectly fine. And it's nowhere near as bad the first megami tensei, smt if or innocent sin. Stop being such a contrarian b***h.
NTA but they definitely wanted to softgate you into playing certain areas once you're a certain level only. The fourth area really shows this the most since the map itself has a large variety of enemy levels so if you head to Odin's area first then you'll get deleted by the Orochi.
shit story
decent gameplay
great atmosphere
incredible music
occasionally the worst shovel ware tier level design i have ever witnessed in a game (specifically the few "dungeons"
Best one in the series and it might make you not play the others as they are severely inferior in all departments but story. Story was never good in SMT nonetheless.
just started on hard mode. Does anyone have advice. i was told go full STR and am using the sword attack thing.
Was thinking about getting the DLC for xp but don't know
>plays hard for challenge >full STR >wants cheating DLC
I mean, you can buy it, but what's the point of hard diff then? If you went full STR with Konkubino, so what? You can always get spells on demons.
I was into almighty spells / skills and focused mroe on MAG. Almighty helped me a lot on solo run as wll (but I did solo on normal, not on hard) because of its HP / MP drain abilities.
You shouldn't really need to grind much outside of the final area. I remember stopping to grind a couple levels before the first two bosses. In general if you do enough battles to see all the encounters in the area you should stay properly leveled.
I personally didn't care for how sandboxy the game is but the combat felt pretty good. Demifiend was a good challenge of you've got the DLC.
The funny thing is that if you go STR build for 80% of the game you are relying on magic most of the time to get more actions, it’s not until you get the endgame super phys skill that your STR build pays off.
Just started. Should i just reset my game since it sounds like magic is better at the start?

STR is fine, you can get by with focusing on STR but using magic. I’d say STR since with the super move at the end you can easily take care of the hardest bosses.
Why? I heard it emulates just fine on PC. Plus PC players on this board don't buy games, they say that in every single thread, so...what's the point of the port if noone is gonna buy it?
>that one part in the final dungeon where there's like 15 mada's on screen at one time
i didn't find the overworld framerate dips to be that horrible, but jesus christ the dungeons run like shit
it has the best gameplay of the entire series, so it is by default the best GAME in the series, story is irrelevant, it is mostly an excuse for the gameplay to happen, if you believe otherwise, then you are a Last of us 2 fan
no.
shit story
fun game
ignore morons

This garbage has the worst gameplay in the series.
I don't think it has the best, but it's far from the worst.
That's just a straight up lie. Besides the level scaling, the combat is perfectly fine. And it's nowhere near as bad the first megami tensei, smt if or innocent sin. Stop being such a contrarian b***h.

What the FRICK were they thinking?
NTA but they definitely wanted to softgate you into playing certain areas once you're a certain level only. The fourth area really shows this the most since the map itself has a large variety of enemy levels so if you head to Odin's area first then you'll get deleted by the Orochi.
Unless you real hate Demon Potentials, even with Omogatoki Crit you can't think it's THAT bad
it might actually have the best gameplay out of the mainline games, and the music is amazing, but the story is eh.
>and the music is amazing
>1 (one ((uno*~~) battle track
>50 hour game
I mean it was good but shit got old fast
Best SMT game.
>story
Let's be real, only Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 have good stories.
It had level scaling apparently so ehhh
Yeah it's great
Best one
shit story
decent gameplay

Not just good, the best

i love young man!
Why did they do this character design, it's awful.
It's not my favorite, but it's fine. Big step up over Nanashi at least.
Frick you, Nanashi was cool.

i don't have the mitama dlc but i've heard it sort of trivializes the whole game and is not worth it

Not you and last guy made a fair point. may reset

Stellar game
I enjoyed my time and had lots of fun with it so for me, yes.
It's pretty good, I like the SNES SMT games better though.
It rekindled back my love in JRPG games so yes.
needs a port. it's a slideshow on Switch
Why? I heard it emulates just fine on PC. Plus PC players on this board don't buy games, they say that in every single thread, so...what's the point of the port if noone is gonna buy it?
Because he's a sony onions boy and if the game gets ported, there's a high chance that Fatlus will also port it to the ps4.
>that one part in the final dungeon where there's like 15 mada's on screen at one time

Yeah. Battles are fun and engaging.
Music is nice and demon models look really cool. Play it.
It's neither a good game nor a good SMT game.
How well or bad does this emulate in Yuzu/Ryujinx?
it emulates well on ryujinx. played through the entire game on it, experienced no bugs. fantastic time.
Nice, I will give it a go.
Add shantae, than we talk

Why no maniax?
It's mostly good, but fell apart for me once I got to Ueno which is the second to last big part of the game.
How did it fall apart?
It's a good game but not a good SMT game
seriously though it's very good
it's a good smt game but it's not a good game
