I've found myself becoming addicted to Persona 3. I was reading some random high school manga the other day and found myself thinking 'damn, Gekkoukan High is way better than this place!'
btw, this is all the fault of
session since I would have never played the game if it wasn't for her (thank you Mela! XD)
The concept of the game is pretty odd since it's part RPG (which involves fighting by shooting yourself in the head) and part dating sim. But it's a really great game! It's like being in an anime, especially since you can control pretty much any action of the Main Character including what school clubs he joins, who his friends are, whether he's a good student or not and who he falls in love with, so you can basically mode him into any type of character you want. During the day, you attend school, meet with friends, explore the city and participate in your clubs (I'm on the Kendo team and apart of the Student Council) and then at night you fight these monsters called Shadows.
I'm really glad you get to pick the girl who the main character falls for. Because in a typical game, he would fall for Yukari who is kinda annoying. She's a bitch to everyone except the main character and yet she's considered the most popular girl at school (how the hell did that happen?!).
Anyone with a PS2 needs to play.
