Sunday is Gaming Day: What Are You Playing Weekly Thread

Finished Metaphor demo, now I'm having an internal struggle session over if I should buy it or not, because it's so fucking expensive.

I did the whacky and stupid thing which is buy a denuvo offline activation for five bucks from some russian site, which is not something I recommend, but I just can't help myself when it comes to these games.

I do really like the game so far, but that could definitely change depending on how liberal brainwormed or generally idiotic the story turns out to be. Your motivation in this whole thing being to get the righteous heir (who also just happens to just be a nice guy who would do good for the kingdom and its people) onto the throne is already kinda iffy and the villains in this story being the most "villain who has good motivations but goes about it in ridiculously evil ways" they could possibly be doesn't help matters either.

It does manage to get you out of the city and into the world fairly quickly after the first dungeon though and I could definitely imagine this game taking you on quite a large and eventful journey (which is exactly what I want out of a JRPG) and the vibes are just pretty damn cozy for the most part. Probably helps that the most basic mechanical pieces of these games just fit way better into a fantasy world than it ever did in the real-life-setting of Persona. Just having side dungeons with little stories to them that are actual places in the world instead of mementos or whatever the persona games before 5 had is a giant improvement.

Damn, someone else played this?

If you're on the fence, just wait until it's pirateable imo.
