Forums - Nintendo - Shin Megami Tensei IV Review Thread

 Better chance at being disappointed playing anything else labeled SMT(yes I'm talking about the Persona series, which are good if you like them, just not nearly as good.) 

Damn, you really think so? I haven't played either series myself, but a couple of my friends are into them, and they think both are great.

Not sure whether I've asked them outright which is better, but I know my friends well enough that I already know what their answer would be: "Well, there hasn't been a new SMT game in almost 10 years, so it's kind of hard to say."

Some people prefer Persona, some prefer SMT. Neither is really 'better'.

That's pretty much what I thought.

I like that line in the review you mentioned -- "the 3DS has yet another jewel to set in its crown."

SMT IV will be my first Megaten game. Pretty excited!



Good track record, really. Nothing seems to go farther less of an A-. Hopefully there will be no outliers...

They gave Soul Hackers (Saturn port) a 7/10...it can't be that terrible. I think.


Technically 7/10 is still a good score.

With this scores plus the Fire Emblem deal I will definitely going to get it. Too bad it's $50, but for the extra $30 I really don't care.

Not on the modern scoring system, it isn't.

I definitely agree with NoName.

Still, that'll ruin SMT's 'A' streak.

I don't object to a 7 for Soul Hackers, nor to the 6.5 they gave Project X Zone. But even a broken clock and all that.



Anyone can explain me what the Shin Megami Tensei series is about?
