Shin Megami Tensei 5 Review

1. Game journalism and game reviewing is getting more and more of a joke

2. This review brought to you by a company that has proven it can't play video games.

3. Has this dude played any smt games?

4. IGN start drug testing your staff your reviews have gone all cooked

5. The prophecy has been fulfilled. “SMT 5 is not P6” he should have compared it to other games as well to be even more disappointed.

6. so he didnt like it because it wasn't persona 5?

7. You’re a joke my guy.

8. Atlus literally released SMT3 Nocturne months ago, and you compare it to Persona? That's why Persona is a spin off in the first place…
   IGN already had a bad reputation everywhere and now I'm sure u guys deserve it

9. Someone doesn't did homework, and Will be Fired for this

10. Why gaming journalism still exists?

11. Awww man. Why compare it to persona5?

12. How about you compare it to other SMT games and not Persona, they’re different dude

13. People who compare every jrpg to Persona 5 are even more annoying than people who swear difficult games didn't exist before Dark Souls.

14. This is what happens when you let a noob do the review.

15. Can you shut up about persona 5 I clicked on SMTV review

16. reviewed by someone who only has played persona….

17. You (IGN as a whole since both the speaker and the writer had involvement in this) cover the bases adequately but needlessly comparing it to Persona 5 when SMT has always tried to tackle those "higher concept" topics and move away from character driven backstories is why Persona even exists. Like, it's like saying "wow this Pokémon Colosseum has better story, plot and characters than most Pokémon games but suffers from not having enough random Pokémon encounters and gym leaders". Like that was the point. See why this rubbed a lot of SMT fans the wrong way?? You can make the Persona 5 comparison once with a reason to inform your audience of similar games. You made it three times and every time made SMT sound worse than Persona with the reasoning "it wasn't Persona".

18. IGN : SMT5 is P5's social misfit younger brother

19. This right here is the reason why game journalism cannot be taken seriously.

20. Well don, you earned my 👎in 6 seconds. I'm impressed.

21. “This isn’t my Persona 5 bb”

22. Persona was a mistake.

23. The first sentence they call smt edgy but in p3 you literally shoot yourself

24. Reviewers don't include persona in a SMT review challenge (impossible difficulty)

25. “…and none of them seem to have interesting backstories or even much of a character arc.”
    You know who had an arc? Noah.

26. Being the devil's advocate, the "younger brother" thing is about SMT5, not the SMT series.
    But the rest, yeah, this review is so awful that the people hate it, even give a 8/10 note.

27. sorry dude but this critic is as Shin Megami V is the main Series it is not Persona dude Persona is the Spin off of course it will not be Persona lol

28. YOUNGER BROTHER OF PERSONA IS THIS DUDE BEING REAL??????

29. Can we get a redo on this review? Preferably NOT a persona fan doing it next time?

30. IGN being IGN.

31. The guy played Persona 5 once and now compares everything to it

32. This is why we call you Games Urinalist

33. Yeah, this isn’t Persona 5. This is about the end of the world. If you were looking for heartfelt buddy companionship, you’ve never played a mainline SMT game before.

34. There is an SMT 5 in your Persona review

35. Huh? Why does he keep bringing up persona 5? How is it relevant if SMT is a different franchise

36. If you knew that Persona is a spin-off to SMT then why keep comparing the two… It literally took y'all 5 seconds

37. Ah yes, the usual peak incompetence.

38. Is it "Missing Heart" cause you're not a minor dating 30 different women ? lmao

39. SMT Younger brother of persona? is this a Joke? Fire that revewer please!

40. COME ON……. PLEASE stop comparing this game to Persona…… Persona is SMT's SPIN OFF, why is it a SPIN OFF?! because they are 2 different games, Persona literally would not exist without the previous SMT Games…..

41. Does the box say "persona"
    No
    Is the game "persona"
    No
    Should the game be "persona"
    No
    Has smt ever felt like modern persona
    Absolutely not
