So is my status going to update soon, or will it pretend that my Twitter account hasn't existed for about a month?

The King's screenshot journey through Tartarus.

No Caption Provided

I have a screenshot problem. Don't believe me? Back in 2012, Katawa Shoujo saw me upload my 1000th image to the site; fast forward a year, and I'm sitting pretty on over 4000. So am I going to stop anytime soon? Hell no! Instead, I thought I'd introduce a new side-blog sort of thing: Renegade Photo. Here's how it works: whenever I feel like I'm starting to take way too many screenshots of a particular game, I'll start a new entry where I show you exactly why I'm taking so many screenshots. (Galleries aren't enough.) Maybe it's because it's a genuinely good screenshot, but most of the time, it's going to be because Junpei said something racist. Then, when I've got more screenshots to show you, I'll bump them into the thread. Imagine that thing Jeric did for Persona 4 Golden, only its own totally original thing. Honest.

It probably doesn't help that I'm starting with Persona 3 FES. A bit of warning before we get started on this feature, though: I'm already about 200 screenshots deep into this game, so there's no way I'm showing you all of them in this one post. I would, but the site only allows 20 screenshots per post. So for now, I'll cherry pick the best ones and sporadically update with some others. Has that been established? Let's get this shit started. (Note: I was going to add "and that's it for now" at the bottom, but turns out it's pretty much impossible to add text after an image.)

Wow, these screenshots are really clear. I'd say they're even more HD than P4G.

I found Persona 3 was a lot more sexual then Persona 4, but in a more subliminal way. Probably because Persona 4 was about people confronting their themselves.

But both were pretty well done, and nether brought you out of the game to question why this is happening, except for a few instances. Granted I only played P3FES up until the middle of the third month.

I'm at the end of May/beginning of June, and have yet to beat that Empress guardian or whatever. I've been grinding a bit to get a decent Wind-resistant Persona, so that shouldn't be too much of an issue.

(This shouldn't be an issue in later updates, since I won't have such a huge backlog of images to pull from.)

I really liked Persona 3, too bad I lost my save more than halfway through the game because I just can't bring myself to play through all of that again. I actually tried on the PSP and it was neat being able to control my different party members but they cut out all the animations and simplified the graphics to the point where I thought it was detrimental to the game and eventually stopped.

@video_game_king: What better things than playing strange video games could you, the King of All Things Video Game, possibly have to do?

Also, if I recall correctly, a couple of those screenshots are linked in a way that I find particularly amusing at the moment. There's one character who would be quite jealous if he were to discover how the main character was spending his downtime.

And so begins the first wave of Photoshopped screenshots. (There are only two waves. I don't need to Photoshop a lot of these.)

What made this really funny at the time was that the scene was playing at about 40 FPS, making Mitsuru sound appropriately high. (This has been fixed, by the way.)

@probablytuna: You can create a new account in your PS3 and set your country to United States when registering the PSN ID. You'll get the US store, and you can play any games downloaded from that account with any other account on the PS3. You generally need a US credit card to purchase things, but you can add credit to your PSN Wallet with PayPal in http://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/.

I'm toward the end of summer in the game (29 hours) and I have never met that Maiko girl. I feel like I'm going through this game really fast, especially considering that I'm also watching the ER of P4 and Jeff and Vinny are 56 hours into that (as of episode 100) and they're still in summer.

Meanwhile, Junpei and Hidetoshi are tied for "least favorite character". Hidetoshi would beat out Junpei but I only occasionally have to deal with Hidetoshi's social link.

Hmmm, I don't know, I'm already juggling two PSN accounts, having more seems like it's gonna be trouble. I also want everything in one account because the Vita doesn't allow multiple accounts, damn that sucks. Thanks for the tip anyway!

@envane:

For the most part, it's working perfectly fine. I discovered that DirectX was causing the frame rate issues, and after changing it, they're almost entirely gone. (They still pop up in heavily populated areas, but I've never seen it dip below 40 for more than half a second.) In fact, the only problem I apparently have is that half a shadow thing @bocam mentioned.
