About
Hailing from the north of Ireland, I'm a dude that really loves RPGs. My first game was Super Mario World at the age of 4 (in 1998, lawl), and since then I've been playing games. Everything I could play, I would, even if it meant I wouldn't be sleeping for weeks (damn you Resident Evil). It wasn't until a few years ago that I properly started keeping up with the industry and that my tastes developed (insert your dirty joke here. I know you all imagined one, I can't be along in thinking one up upon reading that).

Mostly I lament the fact that Europe will get shafted on games somehow, be it waiting for ages for games to arrive, to not getting the goodies that other places get, to just flat-out not getting games at all. My favourite genre being the RPG, this means that I find this sort of thing a lot, particularly if the game is involved in some way with Atlus, who I'd worship as much as anyone else if they just arsed themselves enough to create a Europrean branch to let me and many others in on the obscure game love and Atlus love.

My blog posts will be about whatever I feel like, probably Monthly Musings most of the time.

Now playing: Nothing, actually. Haven't had a new game in a while...

First things first, let me quote myself from a while back:

"Oh Atlus, why do you hate Europe?
[...]
They make a good killing with their games as far as I know, so setting up a foreign branch is not an impossibile tasks. They could make a European branch and bring these games to Europe, but they haven't.".
-Myself, roughly nine or ten months ago.

Well, today I popped up on my PS3, and happened to let it dwindle on the PSN Store's "New Stuff" thing long enough to spot something.

Atlus USA had published Shin Megami Tensei: Persona on the PSN, as the start of an apparent trend of releasing PSP titles digitally. Hexyz Force and the PSP version of Knights In The Nightmare are to follow, evidently.

Atlus...I don't know what to say. So this image will sum my feelings up:



OH GOD I'M SO SORRY FOR WRITING ALL THAT WHINY SHIT LAST YEAR

Congratulations!!!

I played through a good chunk of this, mostly out of love for 2, 3, and 4 - but at a certain point I started driving more and taking the train less, and so my playthrough fell short. Also, I forgot how bad the random encounters and complicated dungeon mazes were - you may love Persona, but it's a tough love sometimes.

Still, overall that's awesome... Persona, and Demon's Souls finally got a Europe release as well.
Does this mean Persona 3 Portable could come to Europe!!!
