What is the best PS2 Shin Megami Tensei game?

Unfortunately Nocturne. It's good, but not as amazing as people chant.
It's mostly the best through virtue of DDS overstaying its welcome by being one game in two overlong parts, and Raidou being borderline experimental.
They're all quite fun, though.
Matthew Johnson
Best megaten game?
Yeah Last Bible 3
Michael Carter
Nocturne. It's better than Zig Forums would have you believe
Chase Williams
For me, it's Strange Journey
Michael Long
>dest
how did you type that d like that?
David Murphy
Nobody likes a nu-smt fag.
Tyler Mitchell
Dilate your axe wound
Hudson Cook
Kill yourself wojak faggot
Easton Baker
>Complaining about nu-SMTfags in a thread about PS2 MegaTen
I'm sorry, should I have recommended my favourite, despite it being a Saturn/PS1/3DS game? Fuck me, you're retarded.
Henry Thompson
>being this asspained
lmaoing @ ur life
Parker Ortiz
DDS 1 & 2 > Nocturne > P4 > P3 FES > Raidou 1 & 2 > P3
Aaron Johnson
>overlong parts
Nigger the DDS games are like 25 hours each.
Christopher Parker
No
Nicholas Morris
>P4>FES
Evan King
DDS for me, easily
Cooper Lee
>P4 over P3
Kayden Sanders
About 30 hours if you just bumrush the story, a fair bit longer if you want to 100%
Michael Jones
Nocturne > DDS1 > DDS2 > Raidou 1 > Raidou 2
Ryan Powell
yall negros dumb af if you think p3 is a better game than p4. p3 had a better story for sure, but p4 had much better gameplay and the dungeons were actually unique
Cameron Johnson
I hope we get another Devil Summoner one day. I'm getting weary of fighting the impending apocalypse in a post-apocalypse society.
Benjamin Myers
Nocturne. but you may enjoy DDS more. Nocturne is the more cohesive experience tonally and artistically, but dds is just a damn good time
Thomas Rogers
>shin megami game
>where you don't collect demons
No wonder this spinoff died on the ps2
Samuel Phillips
>p4 had much better gameplay
P4 had the same gameplay except you control your party and sans fusion spells.
>dungeons were actually unique
L I T E R A L L Y Tartarus all over again, except the colour of the fog and the wall texture is different. You're still running through empty halls with empty side rooms while looking for the stairs.
William Robinson
Has anybody read this. is a five-volume series of novels set in the world of Digital Devil Saga. Authored by Yu Godai, the original story writer of the games who had to leave the project due to health issues, they explore the events of the games differently and diverge from them.
Nolan Morris
>spin-off is different from source
I don't think you know how spin-offs work.
Jason Carter
Cope Nu-SMT faggots. I bet you can't even fucking beat Devil Summoner 1995 because you're too afraid to do so.
Elijah Allen
even if you make the improvements I mentioned seem less significant it doesn't change the fact that they're still improvements. Why is p3 a better game?
Grayson Williams
Yasuomi Umetsu Nice
Caleb Williams
Raidou 2
Carter Morales
The characters are more than their archetypes, for one. Subjectively speaking, I think 3's message on mortality is a lot more powerful than 4's message on being yourself.
I also vastly prefer the party being influenced by tactics rather than outright controlled. The game isn't difficult to begin with, so Junpei trying to do big dick damage with no accuracy and falling on his ass was more comedy than frustration.
Isaac Morgan
if ive only played the persona games, nocturne, dds, raidou, devil survivor where would be a good place to start the other smt games? i havent played persona 1 and 2 though. how far back do i go? ps1 or snes?
Michael Davis
>DDS for me, easily
Based and Demon eater pilled
Charles King
The 3DS games.
Kevin Miller
How the fuck do “old” smt fans act? Legitimate question
Ian Brooks
I'm a Nocturne and IV baby. Is DDS worth plugging up my PS3 up for and DLing them (assuming I still can)?
Blake Jenkins
Soul Hackers would be my recommendation. Then Persona 1.
Eli Turner
It's an Xbox game.
Oliver Clark
Don't feed the trolls.
Devil Summoner 1995 isn't even translated
David Thomas
yeah they're definitely worth a go
Michael Cooper
Not with that combat we fucking aren't.
Raidou games have to be watched, not played. Trust me, I beat both PS2 ones and in hindsight I could just watch a no-commentary lets play instead and get the same experience minus the retarded combat.
Xavier Hall
absolutely. its different than mainline but the production value is better than both.
Austin Cruz
>I don't think you know how spin-offs work.
if they're successful, more are made
if not, then the spinoff dies
Josiah Powell
He's just desperate for attention. NINE released less than 2 months before Nocturne but one is apparently nu-smt and one is apparently old and based
Samuel White
Devil Summoner isn't just Raidou, friend. And even if we were to get another Raidou, more polished combat mechanics are implied.
Sounds like you're just looking to flex or shit on Raidou desu
Brayden Hernandez
It is for the first one.
The second one too, but only if you get invested in the plot, gameplay wise it's the same fucking game but with shittier dungeons. And also berserker mode I guess but it's only good for either banging tunes or fucking you over.
