Persona 5... at 36 reviews and a 94 score :) hell yeah.

thejimquisition is the only reviewer to give it under 90 ; _ ; and he gave it a 85!

Why Jim... Why?

 

"Honestly, I only have one major gripe with Persona 5, and it’s a gripe that I’m not sure is unfair or not. A big part of my ability to invest as much time as I did into Persona 4 Golden was due to it being playable on the Vita, a portable system, and Persona 5 being locked to home consoles (PS3 and PS4) does somewhat hamper my ability to integrate it into my life. While I usually want to be playing the game’s big sprawling dungeons on a TV, the slow intricate social life management sections of Persona are honestly perfect fodder for playing on the sofa while watching TV or on a quick bus ride to pass the time."

8.5 / 10

 

>_< he scored it lower than he would have, because it wasnt portable? wtf.

If he derived a lot of satisfaction form the portable aspect why not downscore it for missing a feature he personally found to enhance his experience? I think it's a fair reason to know a few points off a game if it is an important element to the reviewer, especially since he's still giving it an 8.5. It's not like the too much water 6.5 debacle.

It's like saying "This game is on Xbox and my friends play on PS4 so I can't play with them, it sucks", it's not about the quality of the game...
