I've actually been curious about this: I've enjoyed Kyuuyaku, Nocturne, and SMTV, and never once touched Persona simply because I don't need to play as high schoolers to feel invested in a game. How does Soul Hackers 2 compare to all of those?

[@mori2037]

​i really wish they didn't call this game Soul Hackers 2. maybe then the game would have been a bit better received, not having to deal with the expectations and bitterness of the people who wanted a proper continuation of Soul Hackers. Soul Hackers 2 has a lot of things to like about it in my opinion, the art, character designs and general vibe of the game are really good, but because of the title it was given it has to live up to and be compared to a fundamentally different game.

First of all incredible run, great job and god like editing skills. My editing knowledge is elementary school level compared to that! I wanted to mention Shield Deployment for the Azazel fight already as that would have probably helped out a lot too without having to grind incenses (Overclock with Heal + Guard could have done the job too probably).

It sure is a competent JRPG in a series of stellar JRPGS that make it look crap by comparison) and I see this video. Your challenge runs are seriously some of the best Megaten challenge videos I've seen just in general. The effort put into the edits is top-notch stuff, and your energy just makes it such a joy to watch.

[@paulofsurrey4216]

Quite an amazing effort as in several of the battles you were doing them only a couple of levels higher than I was playing normally. I've played several Megaten universe games over the past few years, including SMT and Persona, but it was the mechanics of SH2 that I enjoyed the most. I really loved the commander skills, sabbath bonuses and switching around demons. We can only hope they port the game to Switch and get more sales and myabe do a sequel.

Competitive Shin Megami Tensei would be really chaotic, though. If Null/Repel/Drain element skills arent banned, people are going to make their characters and demons invincible.

I like soul hackers 2, I understand that it was a continuation of a game that had long since gone Into Obscurity. as one of the few Megami tensei side games that never got sequels or a lot of recognition, but having said that I was new to Soul hackers and I really enjoyed it. with the knowledge I now have though, I think it would have been better if they had done like Bethesda did with prey and just called it soul hackers instead of marking it as a continuation

[@mixedbaggamer]

Unrelated note have they patched and or nerfed the second-to-last DLC Quest not the Super boss obviously but the quest where Nana realizes that she is a demon by artificial means and we have to knock some sense into her to get her to realize that we don't give a s*** about that she's still our friend because Deus Ex friendship is my power machina
