Nah. Just messing with you.
Check out my total play time, pictured above.That’s 453 hours and 7 minutes.IsShin Megami Tensei: Personafor the PSP really that long? No. This time is a result of the lack of auto-pause when setting the PSP in standby mode. Some games that log your play time, like Capcom’sMonster Hunter Freedom Unite, pause your game for you automatically when you go into standby mode.Persona PSP? Not so much. It just keeps logging your time.
So how long is it really? I have no idea. If I had to estimate, I’d say that you’ll get a good 40 hours out of it if you do all the right things and get the good ending. Scared you, didn’t I?
So you want to know how the game is? It’s really great. I’m well into my second play through. I love seeing all of the stuff they’ve changed in this remake. One of the things they’ve changed the most is the dialogue. It used to be pretty bad, but now it’s really sharp. Some of it’s funny, too. In one scene, Mark calls an enemy a “dickwipe.” Bonus points to Atlus USA for use of the word.
My favorite line comes from one of the enemies in demon negotiation. When you try to bribe him to give up his spell card, he responds favorably, and then says:
“It’s all about the yen-jamins, baby.”
Look forward to our full review ofShin Megami Tensei: Personafor the PSP later today.
