I wish this game resonated with me. Horrible pacing mixed with a barebones, frankly boring story leave me wondering why I even bothered. I think Persona 3 Reload is a great remake, I don't think I would enjoy the original even a bit more than I enjoy the remake, but something about this game feels like it missed the mark entirely. None of the deaths affected me that much, and the ending felt just too childlike. This games story made me feel very little, and it also has some of the most gimmicky and boring bosses in the franchise. Its a good game, but I just didn't feel it, and when a games soundtrack is the only part that brings you any emotion, something is definitely wrong.

An irredeemably poor game that seems like it was made by the most miserable people alive with no real hope in their system. A stupid game with a stupid ideology that feels so completely absent of any radiant whimsy or happiness. This game doesn't even feel like a cautionary tale, as it seems to agree fully with Zeros actions, and even end up giving the world a good ending because of her. There is no reason to glorify martyrdom, self sacrifice, and bloodshed, and yet this game does so with pride.

The perfect, seminal racing game. A flawless execution of the near flawless skeleton of GT3 makes GT4 the greatest racing game of all time bar Need for Speed Carbon. It is truly amazing that somehow nearly 20 years later Gran Turismo 4 still feels better to play than nearly any modern competitor in the beat down, broken genre that is racing games.
