Persona 3 Reload Digital Deluxe Edition

one of my biggest gripes with the game cus I am enjoying my revisit to the story but whenever I have to do anything related to combat I start groaning

It is a remake of one of the most beloved JRPGs of all time. Recency biases hardly apply to this work.

People should never take charts seriously IMO. Just use them to find recommendations.

"It's hard to take charts seriously (maybe I shouldnt)"

Yeh, don't. As Jodas said, just use them for recommendations of what games pique your personal interests to give a shot.

Glitchwave is still a user-aggregate site at the end of the day, so it's always going to skew toward recency bias and its own collective taste. Makes no sense to take the "Best of All Time" charts seriously when so many games have the benefit (or drawback) of decades of positive and/or negative retrospective discourse.

Besides, the GOAT discussion is always moving. When I was a kid (I'm 31 yo right now), the best games of all time were a product of the Nintendo / Sony console war: Ocarina of Time and Final Fantasy VII. While console war is still a thing it's not as determinant as it used to be. Besides, more modern, great games, appeared on the battlefield. In the end, canon is constantly evolving and many works of art aspire to be part of that canon.

To be fair, I think I only share the sentiment from my previous comment when regarding P5R. Over 100 hours for the main game is absolutely insane to me. I also didn't mention that I beat P4G almost 4 years ago, and I think wanting to play P5 next at the time due to P3FES previously being relatively more inaccessible than it is now just ultimately turned me off from the series for a few years. After trying this remake for a few hours, I decided to go back and jump into FES with the controllable party mod for my first Persona 3 experience and I'm currently enjoying it a lot.
