Unicorn Overlord wasn't bad the only problem I had with it was there was way too many characters so they didn't really focus on their personalities which made it hard to feel attached to any of them.
Atlus Really Doesn't Want You to Know Metaphor: ReFantazio Is Coming to PS5
- Thread starter Fenton
- Start date
I ain't supporting them
PS fans made Atlus
They've done nothing but spit on PS for years now. Tons of Switch exclusives, Xbox only marketing

it does feel like interest is oddly low for this, especially coming soon after dragon age which will probably do really well in the west.
Feels dumb to tie your big new original jrpg to a floundering platform that lacks traditional sales. Especially after they announced theyre bringing their first party games to playstation lol

It's nice for Sega that they are getting the bag from Microsoft for this, because I guarantee you not a single person is going to buy an Xbox Series console for this game, and PS5 owners will still buy the PS5 version.
I assume these deals were made before Satya stepped in and pulled the rug from under Phil and pushed the multiplatform approach. Sega has rubbed me the wrong way for years anyways and was never planning to buy this or support them. If they do the same with P6 I'll simply just buy it used when I can.
These Altus games don’t even get the same attention and hype now that Sega decided not associate these games with PlayStation anymore.
Not a coincidence.

LOL! That entire lead up to the release was such an entertaining time. Who could forget this moment, though had to walk it back quite quickly as well
I want to be excited for this. Haven’t seen much at all. Like I have no idea when it’s out or even this year unless I look it up.
Only reason I know it exists is because I liked persona 5 and choose to remember this is their next big game…
With that said… I know nothing and expectations are still high.

ResetERA tries its damnedest to manufacture hype for them, but that isn't translating to general audiences. Probably in part because the forum's pushed so many away over the years.
In a way it's a shame, but basically Atlus games have become weaponized by remaining Xbox zealots in a console war that's already over and dead. They're quick to get snarky and conflate the odd omission of PS in marketing as "3rd party deals are bad now?" yet have no power to question why Microsoft are now bringing their own 1P games to PlayStation platforms in shorter & shorter intervals. There is no core to their talking points, which is why they're so weak.
As for SEGA & Atlus...welp, they better pray this game does decently, and they already know that won't be the case on Xbox if it's not in Game Pass. I'm not even sure if Steam sales are going to be that great for it, since it's not been at any PC-centric gaming shows I can think of, and none of the marketing brings focus to the Steam version either. There may be just enough paypig fans on PlayStation to shell out at launch after basically being ignored by Atlus for the game and, if so, I guess they deserve to be ignored further. Not like their buying habits are going to change :/
But SIE specifically, shouldn't feel any obligation to help the game out. If it dies at retail, it'll be on the merits of SEGA & Atlus's own business decisions in terms of marketing. I've not seen a company go this out of its way to ignore the majority of its core fanbase since, well....since Microsoft this gen when it comes to Xbox (specifically the last couple of years). Maybe the similarities are why SEGA/Atlus decided on this marketing arrangement
Destiny and Diablo 3 were PS3-era after Xbox were extremely aggressive with COD, GTA, FIFA etc. Recently that's not how it worked.
Phil was crying about the COD marketing deal for 2 years and his deal with Sega is way worse. They have to delete any mention of PS everywhere.
Atlus makes the same game with a slight twist- SMT gives u 3 superficial choices for endings, Persona is smt in school (also has the added benefit of being popular in the pedo crowd), metaphor is smt with day night cycle. This is in addition to the scam that atlus runs with their royal/complete/remaster editions.
Weeellllll, ironically, since we all started talking about this, I just noticed that they did actually put the trailer for this on Playstations youtube channel today. So maybe they did learn they can't market this on their own channel and not include Playstation after the P3 reload fiasco.
The trailer actually didn't look too bad I may actually backtrack on what I said previously if the reviews are decent atleast.

What annoys me is the idea that playstation players will know of it and buy it regardless. I honestly don’t think thats true, especially with a new IP.
I thnk they are killing awareness on their most popular platform. You can easily lose an audience a newer audience doing things like this. It’s assuming the playstation fanbase doesn’t have room to grow with your games which is dumb. Persona 5 sold like what 3 million and royal sold another 2 on just ps4 alone?
Why give that up for a marketing deal?

Sony made Sega what it is today with Yakuza and Persona, both exclusives franchises that sold millions and kept them afloat. Sega thanked them by making a deal with Microsoft for Azure shit (I guess for Hyenas that was cancelled), exclusive Xbox marketing and Gamepass money. Ungrateful company.
At least Atlus games drop in price super fast now that they have the stank of Xbox all-over them. They used to be rare and you had to buy them on ebay at full price.
