Oh Atlus, Honey, No… (The Jimquisition)




Persona 5 should be reveling in its critical acclaim right now, but it’s mired in a bit of bad press thanks to its publisher’s attempt to control post-launch video content.

An honest case of trying to protect an audience from spoilers, a ludicrous overreach from an out-of-touch company? Both?

Both, obviously.

Oh, Atlus. You really shouldn’t have…

  1. atlus needs to stop being silly and put Persona on Steam.

  2. I guess yooka laylee episode is until monday?

  3. “What no I don’t want to see your pog collection”

  4. Well. I guess I don’t gotta play Final Fantasy 7 now.

    I often think that I’m the last gamer in the world who hasn’t played it.

  5. I’ve never played a Persona game before but this game looks dope.

  6. I bought a PS4 for Persona 5, but after this move, I might just pass.

  7. I wish ppl would stop using “experiencing it together” or “we don’t want to give spoilers to users” as reasons to limit content to content maker and reviewers. F*ck off, I’ll watch spoilers if I want to. I can know the plot of sth and still be impressed at the execution thank you. Douchebags

  8. No you spoiled FF7 for me you monster! Next your going to say that shadow dies in sonic adventures 2!

    BTW this is a joke comment if you didn’t understand

  9. This whole thing makes me not wanna buy a copy of the game.

  10. “We put so much effort into making our game fun. Let’s make sure nobody knows how fun the game is, or they might actually buy it!”

  11. SPOILER ALERT:

    ZELDA SAVES THE PRINCESS!!!!

  12. Loved how you gave such a contentious review score with Yooka Laylee. Oooh can’t wait for the flak you get that you will so blissfully wallow in their woes. I am not against your opinion on anything but I’m pretty excited of what will transpire after that hehehe

  13. Naoto will forever be best girl!

    Plot twist, they are using the Strelsand Effect as marketing tool…. they say people to not stream the game, so more people will stream it and the game will get free publicity. Even a worldwide known youtuber will do a special episode of his most popular show about the game.

    Checkmate, GG, Atlus

  15. So your a squid now Jim?

  16. Apparently got a lot of Judas Priest fans in my audience. Nice one.

    Has this been given Japanese captions yet?

    I think that all of Jim’s JP-related footage needs to have Japanese captions added so we can send them on over to the REAL perpetrators of this farce.

  18. Dear Atlus,

    Please only care for spoilers before the game is released to the public.

    Also, it’s totally possible to be spoiled beforehand and still enjoy a game’s story the same way you would without being spoiled.

    Sincerely,

    – just another P3P and P4G Fan

    P.S. : Please consider porting Persona 5 over to Steam. Thank you.

  19. I didn’t know you were gay. Alrighty then!

  20. MAJOR SPOILER!!!
    DO NOT READ!!!

    There’s an Ending.
