On the one hand, it gimps a lot of features found in the other versions of Persona 3. On the other hand, no Keisuke. Tough call.

He's still there, and still a social link if you're playing a dude (but why would you?)

Also, yes, P3P is better than P3:FES mechanically, but worse than P3:FES in many regards from anything outside of a dungeon (quicker, but lacking in personality and actually breaks some of the better moments of the game). Worth a buy if you don't intend to get FES instead.

http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/06/17/oculus-rift-erotic-adventure-game-announced

Hi Duders, The above link is to a short IGN article about an erotic adventure game for the oculus rift. What do we think about this here at Giantbomb? Personally I think its an embarrassing headline for the games industry. I recognise that the crossover between "gamer" and "horny fucking bastard" is probably quite large but It is a shame that when our industry has so many things to get excited about something like this rears it's ugly head.

Sex sells, everyone knows and the internet lives off it, so something like this is inevitable but this particular quote is infuriating, "veteran game designers who worked on the likes of Rage, the Call of Duty series, Lost Planet, Madden and Planetside 2 are working on an "Erotic Adventure" game for Oculus Rift." Whatever your views on said games, why are talented and experienced developers wasting their time on making a cheap thrill? We have the Wii U, the PS4, the Xbox One and the potential behind the Oculus rift itself! It is a shame that such talent is going to waste.

Thoughts community?!

Where do I begin...

What's wrong with a depraved adult game for adults if it's a quality product? Are you aware of the existence of porn?

"Sex sells, everyone knows and the internet lives off it..." I'm pretty sure the other half of the world which remains blissfully unaware of the internet is also equally horny, because, you know, humans and the way we were designed/the way we evolved in order to continue to exist. Until *censored for video game internet board* Rod A finds slots A, B, or C, that biological urge exists in all human beings who aren't asexual.

The article supplies so little information that I might agree with you, because it's easy to draw the conclusion that it will be a really stupid game based on other "mainstream" attempts at porn games, but there's an industry for AO games waiting to be tapped by an actual adult crowd (no pun intended). There's a glut of talent in the industry, and if a small fraction of it has a good idea on how to make a tasteful adult game, there's no harm in it unless you're a "Mass Effect is a sex simulator" level prude.

*Let me again disclaim that I might just be talking about the concept as a whole rather than just this game, as I can find so little information about it to make a decision as to its specific quality at this point. Likening it Leisure Suit Larry doesn't help in the slightest, but I only hope that's nothing more than a line to draw in the closest parallel in a world where the adult game was shunned to obscurity outside of Asia.

Right now I'm using all my potential cash in exotic fruit to sow the land with orchards, so that eventually I'll be raking in the cash nonstop. It's going to be a slow process, but it will pay off in the long haul.

Meantime, I'm still dealing with the entirely underwhelming first iteration of the Nookling store.

Or!

Unless he was drunk the entirety of E3, I have to call this into question. He's speaking coherently, but his voice has been way off in every E3 video I've seen. This could be any combination of being sick/tired/losing his voice. Adam gesticulates wildly all the time, and the only other indication that he may have been slightly inebriated is that his face is fairly red, but that could also be a side effect of any number of other issues.

Besides, you guys do realize how wasted the Bombcast crew must have gotten every night with their podcasting, right? Or if not wasted, at least beyond buzzed.

I had no choice, but I'm not sure I'd have otherwise resisted marrying anyone but Chrom. I suppose if the game let you marry within the same gender, I might have gone with Nowi.

Nope, because anyone who realizes the long-term pay increase over subsidized devices and still buys them is probably terrible with money, or has too much of it and could be putting the excess to better use.

@andrewb: @gruebacca: I had not known that but that is insane. I couldn't imagine downloading 54 gb of a single game on the terribly slow PSN download speeds.

It's not actually a 54GB download. Think of it as an installer. You're downloading an installer and then you need close to equal the space for the game proper afterward. The installer can then be deleted.

It says on the PSN store page that it's 27gb to install though. If it really is 54gb then I definitely don't have enough space for that.

Playstation 3 games require 2X the size of the game to install. The rest would be freed up after install, but that's the amount of space needed to complete the process.
