Necromancy.

Man I wish I hadn't been watching the ER so that I could have 50 unwatched episodes that I could watch right now.

For me, it's great. Got it on Christmas, beat it on new years.

I got it  when Amazon had the deal and got the Spoiler-Book as well :p Currently 41 hours in just finished the Lab dungeon.

I've had Persona 4 since it came out in December(which cost more than $26 but it did come with a lovely, spoiler-filled artbook). It's really a long game - even with a month of winter break to play it shortly after it came out, I still didn't finish P4 until early February, and clocked about 90 hours of playtime(not counting anything lost after dying, although I save obsessively enough that that shouldn't be a huge amount of time). This is definitely not a game for people without lots of freetime, especially since if you want to see *everything* you'll have to play it twice. That does make it ridiculously good value for your money, at least.
The major downside of playing Persona 4 is that it makes it aggrevating to go back and play Persona 3, since they improved the interface and battling mechanics so much in 4. I've been replaying Persona 3, and I'm really noticing how annoying and slow the interface is compared to 4; I'm especially missing the ability to press square to go places, especially since the various places of P3 are more annoyingly laid-out(there's often multiple screens you have to go through to get to a screen that contains exactly one or two things of interest, and don't get me started on how your homeroom seems to be as far from the school's exit as possible)

Really, with how much Vinny and Jeff complain about the interface in P4(mostly during one of the Bombcasts where they discussed P4 in more detail), they should play a bit of P3 and see how much worse it could have been. :) (mmm, having to talk to each individual party member to see their persona and to equip them)

I got Persona 4 as soon as it was released in Europe and obsessively played it, even going so far play it for 3 days straight. Thanks to the endurance run of course. Just finished it yesterday.

Feel sad that it ended. Trying to play Persona 3: FES but it has less charm than 4. Maybe I need to cleanse my palette of it.

It will be interesting if they finish the game. Hope they continue with it.

I must say, that your playthough (or "Let's Play" as some circles would call it) is incredibly entertaining to watch. You manage to make a game that would be somewhat dull to watch someone play into something that we all appreciate and laugh at. It's even more amazing in that despite the comments that people will say of how "You're doing it wrong!" you still manage to prevail in spite of/due to others' criticisms.

We're all behind you in Charlie's quest to get lucky with Chie. Oh and trying to find the killer.

That brings up a question... Have any of you checked the Persona 4 Entry for... Spoilers?! If not then a tip: Major Story Details are already on the Persona 4 Page, especially if you look at certain characters' pages... I've said too much.

I have to say that these videos got me to buy the game when I normaly wouldn't of given it a look.  You deserve a cut!

Consider, for a brief moment, how many people in the world have PS2s compared with the amount that have PS3s and Xbox 360s (not including PS3 folks with the 60gb model). Putting it on the PS2 is "sharing it with the rest of the world".

"Why the fuck hasn't this game come to the 360 yet?  It has been pretty irritating to see some huge, interesting game that only comes out on PS2s & not shared with the rest of the world. Christ, not even a PC version!"

I've been playing the game little by little as well. I'm close to 6 hours in and I barely scratched the surface.  Watching you guys play though it  is what is keeping me playing it.

The deal is already over!? I was contemplating whether to get it now or wait until someday it drops to 20$ (since I have so many other RPGs to go through, including Persona 3).  But now I have no choice :(

I kinda want this game since watching the endurance runs, but I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy it without hearing you guys. Oh well, guess I can spare the $26.

I just got my order from Amazon, too bad im at work. Came with a nice art book too which is a plus considering the lowered price.

If anything, I want to play Persona 3 now

I'm getting this game. HBeck I already pre-ordered it. It sucks that it's not out in England for a few weeks. And I am addicted to the Endurance Run.

Yeah, your guys' commentary is what makes it awesome.

I have been watching the endurance run, and while I still have no interest in 'playing' the game myself, I love watching you guys play it, and more importantly, the commentary on it :)

I just picked the game yesterday  and now I face a dilemma I want to avoid spoilers but I can't stop watching the videos .....   so can you guys do me a solid and wait for me to finish the game??? :D    ( I'll stop sleeping I promise!!)  

'Tis awesome.

Heh, that monkeybear pic is totally a parody of a scene from Death Note.

I am L!

I'm absolutely loving the endurance run, it's become some kind of crazy tv program that i need to watch for me; I always look forward to them lol.

"Any info on how long this deal will last?"

I will watch you play as long as there are videos, I love them. Dont give up anytime soon.

It might finally be time to get a PS2.  Maybe this and Shadow of the Colossus and I'll be up to date.

Any info on how long this deal will last?

I think I've said this before but I'll say it again: The only reason I have had the immense enjoyment of finally joining the masses with this series is thanks to these videos. Thanks to Giant Bomb for making me get into a game I would have totally skipped out on. Highly recommend a purchase to anyone else, and if you haven't picked it up already or for some ridiculous reason don't want to take advantage of this amazing deal...

...I will send the bear on you.

I just ordered this thanks giantbomb :) i love you

This is the best video series that I have ever gone through.  If you are not watching this series, you are going to regret it because Jeff and Vinny's commentary alone is worth watching it.  Also, the monkeybear is freaking awesome.  Also, they just got into gameplay today with #11 so get caught up in the madness that is Persona 4.

I bought it about a week and a half ago after watching theses videos for the full 40 dollar price. I have no qualms about paying full price for a game of this quality though.

OH MY GOD!  I ordered it two days ago from amazon for $10 more.  That is so irritating. >_>

yeah you guys inspired me to get the game and i just beat it yesterday

If you like Giant Bomb Endurance Runs- check out http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/

These great videos made me take a interest in Persona. i would have never even though about if it was not for Jeff and Vinny. Im now Happily 27 hours into Persona 3: FES and loving every second of it! Thanks Giant Bomb i love you....but right now my Girl Friend hates you... =)

I love the Endurance Run. Not only is it hilarious but every time I watch it, I want to play Persona 4 despite it's tendency to recap everything three times) so it was an easy decision to get this off of Amazon today.

Anyone who does not already have this game needs to get it immediately. It's a steal at $40, let alone $26.

Has anyone said anything about how much fun these endurance run videos have been and how that's one of the things that makes this their favorite place on the webs for vidya gamin'? They have? Oh, ok. Nevermind, then.

That's awesome. It comes with the soundtrack too. I live in Singapore (and just got FES) so I won't be picking it up, but it is a total steal.

These videos are awesome, guys. Thank you.

That deals no good for me. I live in the UK.
However, I'll be getting it for £17.99 over here in March.
thats $26

When it's released in Europe I'll see what I can do.

Yeah i've been tempted by those videos, and as much as i prefer that style of JRPG (especially a more mature one at that) i still dont like JRPG's personally, i'd never get round to finishing it, they are games i like to watch instead, and...oh! hey! you guys are playing it, so that means i can watch it. It all works out :)

The Persona series is great though.

nice

I really love these videos. Finally it feels like this site has yet another thing to make it unique from other game sites, I can only hope you keep it up even if I do doubt you will get to the end with this game lol.
