My Month in Gaming (March)

This month can only be summed up as being the month of Persona 3.

This month can only be summed up as being the month of Persona 3.  I am now up to 78 hours in game time (having started it in early June) and I really don't think I have at any point in my life put that much time into a single playthrough of any game ever.  It says something about the narrative scope and tiny elements of that game that make it a truly compelling adventure to complete.  The sum of it's part truly make something great and knowing that Persona 4 fixes most of the annoyances in 3 make fairly excited to play it, although I'll probably need to a decent break from JRPG's once I finish this game.  I more or less wanted to write this entry to mark a moment in time that will either go down as the point where I am about to complete a game that could become one of my favourites of all time or just become a game that although very good, was sort of full of shit with where the story was going.  It's a JRPG, so you have to accept some of the nonsense, but this is a story that has made me question my own existence and, coming from a video game, that's a pretty heavy topic.  Going to finish this paper and then try to finish the game tonight.
