Destructoid was one of the first outlets to formally review Persona 4 in the U.S. We gave the PS2 role-playing game a perfect score and our Editor's Choice award. Most of our readers were happy to get the early news on the anticipated follow-up to Atlus' prior hit, Persona 3, but some were quick to call me out, questioning my review.
Well, in honor of Amazon's Deal of the Day, which is Persona 4 for the low price of only $29.98, I thought I'd take this opportunity to respond to my detractors.
MrSadistic says: "well that was quick"
No. No it wasn't. I spent every waking second playing this game to finish it in time for the review.
Funky Goodness says: "Dale, did you finish this?" "...this seems a little too quick."
Get this: By the time most of you had just come across your first boss, I had almost finished Persona 4 twice. Once with debug code that Atlus sent me early, and the second time with a retail copy. I got the good ending that last time.
Mozgus says: "Oh gee, perfect score. What a fu*king surprise."
It was a surprise to me, too! But when I finished it and saw what a fantastic game it was, I was not surprised to see just about a dozen more outlets follow with giving it a perfect score. On Metacritic, the game still stands with a "universal acclaim" rating. I call 'em like I see 'em.
If you've missed this great game, don't pass up this deal to get it for cheap.

*P.S.A* IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THIS SERIES, FOR FUCKS SAKE DO SO IMMEDIATELY! AS IN THE NEXT GAME YOU BUY! YES I'M SERIOUS! NO, I DON"T CARE THAT YOU DON"T PLAY PS2 GAMES, STFU & GET IT RIGHT MEOW!!
GIRUGAMESH!
And indeed it renewed my faith in jRPGs. Everyone who plays rpgs should play it, especially now.
I've finished it once but didn't get all the SLinks maxed. I'm going to go back to it once I finish P3FES Answer. Plus I haven't dated everyone yet. ;)
Therefore = Amazon has factories full of this shovelware. YEAH I SAID IT.
Hate when they repeat DOTD's so frequently.
You say "Shovelware." I do not think that word means what you think it means.
That should be after Devil Summoner 2 though.
IT'S A CONSPIRACY !
I bought PS2,a memory card, pawn shop TV, and the game.
IT WAS FUCKING WORTH IT!
Shovelware: n. "An overabundance of software that simply moving the product requires a shovel. see; ET for the Atari 2600
