This is typically my issue playing RPGs like Fallout. I do every fricken quest I come across, pick up every bit of loot, and basically play for so long that when I remember that there is a main quest, I'm a god.

That's why I save his stage for last.
Aye. And this game may be exactly the same.
I guess what I was really pointing out is that it's so very very common for games to up the difficulty of your opponents - their strength, their numbers, their tactics, etc. - as you progress through the game.
This Resistance Meter just looks like Marketing Speak for that.
But I mean every sort of game, even Pacman, where those ghosts don't stay edible as long as they do early on.
The moron backlash against Far Cry 5's premise is hilarious.
"The main enemies represent most Americans. How is a game this treasonous allowed to be made?"

Snowflakes.The moron backlash against Far Cry 5's premise is hilarious.
"The main enemies represent most Americans. How is a game this treasonous allowed to be made?"
It's even more hilarious if you know that the game is made at a canadian studio of a french video game company. That's hardly treasonous.The moron backlash against Far Cry 5's premise is hilarious.

Even if it was made by an American developer, it wouldn't be treasonous. Other things this person does not know:
The U.S. government does not make Far Cry and does not regulate video game stories. Most Americans are not violent fanatical Christians. Most Christians are not violent fanatical Christians.
I've been rolling in the aisles over all the tweets. "Why are we encouraging people to attack patriots?" and the like.

I must own this.
That looks it'll be really fun for like 30-45 minutes.
I don't own a Switch and have no intention to buy one.
It was more that this looked like the "big-budget" version of Inflatality.
Or maybe that Inflatality was the knockoff of Arms, depending on your viewpoint.

Fuck yessssss. And I'm stoked for the Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey remake too, but this one is gonna open Radiant Historia up for so many people who missed the DS original.

Empyrion just got a MASSIVE update, now implementing pressurized oxygen environments, temperature, radiation, star-trek-like "force fields" to hold in oxygen so you don't need a cumbersome airlock, UI improvements, functioning bathroom/shower facilities, new alien AI-controlled ships, armor, item durability (boooooo), portals and teleporters, sensors and triggers, signal logic, playfield instancing, dynamic and dangerous weather, and various other new things.
Meanwhile, Space Engineers' wheels are still broke.[DOUBLEPOST=1496950547,1496950440][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, it looks like we missed out on a timed event in Vermintide.

Soooo.... basically Super Meat Boy wearing a Limbo costume.
Sounds like it, though I'd lean 50/50 Limbo/Gish until I see more.
Then again, he has a great track record of improving on past concepts when he iterates over them again. If he has managed half the improvement that Meat Boy -.> Super Meat Boy or Isaac -> Rebirth, it'll be well worth the money.
So I've been meaning to ask (and may have before): if I've never played Shin Megami Tensei games, where do I start? I have my PSP and 3DS, so that's the big limitation.
Fuck yessssss. And I'm stoked for the Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey remake too, but this one is gonna open Radiant Historia up for so many people who missed the DS original.
There's not really a start because there's no storyline continuity between the games. They just have similar themes and system rules. Since you've played Persona, you already have some familiarity with the spell and weakness systems.
I've never played the DS version of Strange Journey, but I've heard good things, so I'm looking forward to the remake.
As for what you have access to:
Shin Megami Tensei IV is an experience. Though not without flaw, particularly in the characters, it's an interesting story and is often on sale for pretty cheap on the 3DS eshop.
That said, I've been told Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse is better. It's kind of a what-if story that shares SMTIV's setting but with a stronger story.
SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked is one I can wholly recommend. It's a little odd in using tactical RPG maps, but within that are more standard RPG battles. Excellent story. It almost feels like a bridge between Persona and SMT thematically.
I can't help on the PSP front. Only Atlus game I played for that was Persona 3 Portable.
If all you have is a PSP and 3DS, then your options are limited. You can get Shin Megami Tensei 4, Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker, Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, and maybe more on 3DS. On PSP, I think it's Just Persona 2 and Persona 3 Portable? Unless you have a Vita, in which case Persona 4: The Golden is an option too.
Of THOSE options, I'd say Persona 3 Portable or Shin Megami Tensei 4 is where you should start, followed by Soul Hackers and Record Breaker. When it's released, Strange Journey REDUX is another pick.
If you DO have a Vita or are willing to shell out $60 for a Playstation TV, then Persona 4: The Golden is generally considered the best in the franchise.
They need to remake Nocturne for Vita.
My thoughts while watching this:
"Neat! This could be a lot of fun to play through with a friend!"
*Sees it's only on Origin for PC*
Welp, so much for that.
