Except when you can't run stuff because it's not compatible with new windows. But yeah i would love to play other shin megami tensei games, like persona 3 fes, nocturne or raidou kuzunoha games
A little off topic but I think the reason the Persona 3 and 5 dancing games didn’t sell well is because the main line games have dropped down to $20 and the dancing games are still $60 each. I bring this up because ATLUS has been concerned about the sales of porting the main games. If the dancing games were $30 each with full pack being like $70 I think it would have sold waaaay better.
@hama mudo The dancing games are ok, the music selection is kinda varying in P3 it's pretty good and the remix are worthy of dancing while the P5 only one Joker and One Futaba songs are like danceable while the others are meh. If they waited after P5 Scramble then I think they would have a good selection to play from for P5.
@hama mudo I was going to comment this. I think it may be cultural with japan's idol scene being strong. they conflate something popular in their culture not being popular here with the idea that other regions disinterest. It's the dancing that turns people off not the personas!!!
Something that I always find funny when I read the Persona games and Monster Hunter fandom is that they always try to compare each entry when each entry imo feels very different from one another, and very different styles and feelings to them. So conparing them although they are in the same genre for me would be like comparing The first 3 halo games and reach, they are all amazing games that are similar but at the same time so different from one another, they all bring different strengths so comparing them or choosing a favorite would be near impossible for me, persona and monster hunter games feel the same, many have strengths and weaknesses but imo comparing them is kind of pointless
Lol, I feel exactly the same as you do in terms Persona 4's writing, setting, and overall charm. I prefer Persona 4 Golden over Persona 5 because of this, even though I believe that Persona 5 is the overall better game with all its improvements and cool features. Hell, I feel that Persona 4 Golden is my favorite game of all time. Good to see more people getting the opportunity to play it on Steam....
@@sofaris576 I do believe that Persona 5's story is fantastic, I just prefer Persona 4's story and setting. Persona 4 was more focused, engaging, and I just liked most of the characters more...
I agree completely. I really didn't like the social links in Persona 5 as well. They felt really bland and they didn't add anything to the story. Even though P4G is bloody light-hearted, it had (at times) this really dark atmosphere which made the story more compelling.

I was trying to buy a used pstv off ebay last week just to play this, Shout outs to all the cabbages who bumped up the price to well over the msrp. You the mvps.
Me: Impatiently downloads P4 on a PS emulator Atlus literally weeks later: Haha well here's Golden on Steam. Me: Okay fine, I've learned my lesson, please just give me Persona 5 on Steam please...
I've only played P4 (and P3: FES) on PCSX2 Emulator; I was originally waiting for an emulator for Golden. But this port, finally, I can play it without needing a Vita.
This screen better demonstrates the hellscape. It looks like Fallout out there! assets.rockpapershotgun.com/images/2020/06/Persona-4-Golden-PC-1212x682.jpg
What an awesome surprise!!! P4 is my favorite as well, and never even had a chance to play the Golden version. We are truly entering a new Golden Age (haha) of PC gaming! Now, bring on P1, P2, and P5 Royal which I've not had a chance to play yet! And P3 for those who haven't!
I never played any SMT games before, just put some 8 hours into this game and wow, this is just so much better than I expected! the menus alone are a lesson to be learned on good design. I wish I had played this back when it came out for the PS2, I bet I wouldn't have fallen out of love with console gaming if I did.
@@maximussaktish unfortunately, I can't afford to own both a console and a PC, so I stuck with the machine that I can use to both play and make money with :( I think I might buy a PS4 just for that game once the prices really drop in the used market, I loved P4G that much
I think the new content that Golden has sucks. Marie is a horrible character who is a forced love-interest. Also, there are all these new fan-service events which don't fit the story in my opinion. However, its still a great experience especially if you loved the original.
Yeah, P5 improved the interface, battle system, and especially palaces so much.... but the lovable characters combined with the ominous mystery hanging over everything still make P4 win out for me.
@@lefteyefalconeer Yeah I agree, while I think this song is okay, the original was soo much better, this one is a little too happy considering the serial killer situation, the original was perfect.
@@rockpapershot I like the updated HD on the PC version for sure though! I am loving Persona! (Bought the manga- watching the anime too...) Persona 3 is next on my list! I hope that gets ported so I don't have to whip out the PS3 lol
Man, I remember getting a Vita and this was one of the first things I played on it. It was only a few years ago, but seeing this now makes it feel like that was an eternity ago. I'm gonna miss that weird feeling of playing a "Vita only" game, but at least it's cool that a company is bringing their old games back to life every once in a while
Doing research into getting this game for PC after I finish persona 5 royal (which on turn was my first JRPG thats not kingdom hearts and also my first persona game)
7:40 70 hours It's massive...I've spent at least 500 hours on persona 3 FES, persona 4, persona 5, persona 5 Royal each and planing to spend another 500 on persona 4 golden...so we have a very diferent concept of massive.
Thanks for this very informative video! But I still can't make up my mind: considering the overall quality, would it be better to just buy the PS2 port for the PS3 (which is cheaper, but it's not Golden) or this PC version? I like the Vita, and it's probably the best version, but It's not comfortable to play so many hours looking at a little screen with my neck bent out of shape. PS Vita TV is also ruled out. So, if I buy Persona 4 it would either have to be on PS3 or PC.
No, buy this. I personally like the Vita version most - being able to put console on standby is handy during very long cutscenes (you can't do that on PC). But if the Vita version gives you problems, PC is the way to go. It's the cleanest image of any version. If anything, it's *too* clean, showing off those rough parts mentioned in video. I didn't want this review to put people off PC version. It's an incredible game everyone should play. I hope it didn't come off more negative than intended!
@@rockpapershot Rough textures is somewhat annoying to me and it did put me off a bit, but I can deal with it given it's not that expensive and it's not a remake (maybe it's almost a remaster? I mean, a little bit better than a port?). In favor of the PS3 version, there's the comfort of a console. However, the PS3 doesn't have trophies, from what I learned, and it's definitely not clean at all. On the other hand, the PC version supports a controller and, as you said, it's the cleanest version. And it's Golden. I made up my mind. Thank you for your help!
This is my first Persona game and I have a feeling I'm going to get PS5 immediately after finishing it. The music alone is worth the price of admission.
Depends, I would play it in a while personally especially since it’s an older game. But, this game is basically a must play for any persona fan. As persona 3/4 always had better characters and writing compared to 5. 5 is a lot more aesthetic than substance. If you prefer really deep combat stuff than wait a bit to play it. If you like persona for characters and writing go play it immediately.
I'd love a proper remaster of Persona 3 combining all additions to the later versions. Basically the PSP port, but add back in the cut scenes they snipped out.
I played persoan 4 on ps2 last year and i had a blast,i straight up played p3 after and p5.When i heard p4g is coming on pc i was shocked.I bought the game straight away.Cant wait to finish up my exams to play ,maybe i ll try a 100 %
I've been wanting to play a proper entry in the Persona series for some time now. I don't have a PS4 (nor do I want to pay the scalpers prices to pick up a PS2 and a copy of whichever one is on that system) and I didn't want to buy the system to play Persona 5. So, I snagged the Nintendo 3DS Persona Q2. It was...alright. I could tell that the source material was probably great, but, again...not gonna buy a system for one game. Anyways, as I was perusing Steam today, I discovered that this game FINALLY released on the PC. AND since it's a port of an already super old game, I could run it on my PC laptop with integrated graphics and not take it on the chin graphics or FPS wise. So...definitely going for it. I've heard several people say this is their favorite game of all time and I guess I'll find out. And, I also heard that the soundtrack was outstanding (as the one produced for Persona Q2 was great, IMHO), and to add it for $5 to the already dirt cheap price tag of $20 seemed like a no brainer. Hopefully I have the time to get through this one...
My problem with this is my sound doesn't work and the game is broken on basic level. with no sound effects or music in general outside of the animated cutscenes, the game just feels dead. I hope someone fixes it because I was genreally looking forward to this.
It’s weird how golden came to PC, I wonder what’s next for Atlus. I do think the persona 2 duology is the second best in the series after 3 so I hope they get an updated PC port.
I still think it's a more natural fit for Vita - the ability to put console on standby to pause it is very handy - but it hopefully won't break the bank to get it on PC. It's £15 on Steam.
@@elladoros Another RUclipsr was able to move his P4G Vita Save files to the PC version so if you don't want to start over, you should search up how to do that. (If you buy it again that is.)
I saw the video in my recommended and I was so surprised. Finally! I remember trying to emulate this game but it was always broken. Now I don’t need to buy a sh*ty pstv or vita
I want to play P4 so badly but i have a Mac ): i loveeeee P5 so much and have almost 100% the game and i would love P4 so much i promise ill get a PC one day
Oh hey I watched giant bomb play through this years ago. Since they had two groups of two people playing at the same time, I watched it all the way through, twice
It was easy. The game’s story is captivating, and the way it can be different depending on your actions made watching it twice concurrently quite interesting.
I just want to say the comparison to Pokemon always felt odd to me as SMT has been around far longer and the capture and Fuse mechanic has been there since Digital Devil Story Megami Tensei in 1987. It would seem to me that Dragon Quest took inspiration from these games and Pokemon in turn took inspiration from both.
People who know Persona, know about SMT and its relation to that. I was explaining the game to newcomers. I don't think SMT means anything to them. Pokémon is useful shorthand, nothing more!
@@rockpapershot No I get that. A lot of people don't realize how much of an impact this series has had on JRPGs and I think it's because the series has always sold lesser than other franchises. I am sure that has almost everything to do with the Mature content preventing it from even coming west for a decade. I am glad that the series keeps topping each other with each release. P4 then SMT IV then P5. Here's to hoping that SMT V Sells as well as P5 did. cheers.
@@HoudiniFontmeister I'm betting SMT V will sell really well since SMT IV Apocalypse's gameplay is godtier and if they improve on it even more so, oh boy I can't even imagine what will happen. SMT IV and SMT IV A were on handheld, which I believe limited sales, but now it's on a home console and can expect even more sells. Also, at the time Atlus wasn't well known but P5 has paved the way for Atlus moving forward and helped Garner the attention of the public marking Atlus on the map of game developers who's games are worth buying and playing. All these reasons are why I believe it's going to sell well, oh and Atlus makes more PS5 games and hardly makes any Switch games, I think a good amount of people who've wanted to play an Atlus game but couldn't due to not owning a PS5 will buy it just to have a taste of that Atlus goodness.
@@Bros_Before_Hee_ho_hos Well SMT IV outsold P4 and was their biggest seller til P5. The 3DS was a huge seller. I agree. The devs said when they began that they wanna combine the Gameplay battle mechanics of IV with the Charm of Nocturne. I think that means they want it to be a fully 3D world with the gameplay of 4. It is definitely something to be excited for. It is exciting to see the series finally getting the love it deserves. They need to Port SMT I, II, If, and KMT to the switch. in english. They have hinted at remaking Nocturne as well. It would be nice to remake IV for the switch as well since it is so low res and trapped on the 3DS. A HD switch port would be amazing.
@Warron93 I know right? It seems like the logical next step... but nope, PC it is XD Maybe it MIGHT be on ps4 at some point, but who knows. For now I'll still play it on my Vita. I still have a lot of games on that console to play :3
i bought it instantly and began playing, but from this video, i get the inpression the english dub(that i'm playing with) is actually sharper in sound that the japanese one i heard. still, its one of the game series i always wanted to play but could't becouse i did't have the console(like with P5) or its from a platform thats only something u can get from collectors like the original P4 golden and the older ones. Its a shame Atlus does't want to shake of their rep of doing bad ports, but still, i hope they will also remaster the older Persona game we never got to play, heard so many good things about the over the years it does make one curious.
I wouldn't say it's a bad port. Just a straight port. With some really nice work being done with remasters and remakes these days, it's important to point it out when it's a simpler job.
@@weertangel7231 it's their 2nd game ported to pc, I think they were hesitant to release it to PC because they are just begginers and didn't want to make a bad port of a game and disappoint fans. That being said, Atlus for the most part listens to criticism and betters itself overtime, so I'm sure they'll fix this issue in the coming days.
finally I can play the game without all these "stutterness&slowness" I've experienced with 30fps gameplay in Persona 4 original. This looks way smoother.
While looking for a game to play thanks to fucking PSO2 uninstalling itsetf I found this game just released on Steam. This is my first Persona game and I bought it because the overwhelming positive reviews it has. Oh boy doesn’t disappoint
Not critiques, really - just flagging that this isn't a flashy remaster. As I say in the video, the style of the game lets it get away with quite a basic port. It's pretty timeless.
Haha, I am in the same boat! I don't want to start anything too long because of the Last of Us 2 coming out on Friday. I think I'll stick to smaller games for the next 4 days.
It's on Steam so it should work with your PS4 controller (wired) without problem. In fact, I'm playing it on PC using my Switch Pro Controller right now. 😊
You talked alot about The płot rather than the port. Does the internet option to 'send help' even work for example? These are the things people are interested in in a port review video, not the płot lel

This is my first Persona game and I have a feeling I'm going to get PS5 immediately after finishing it. The music alone is worth the price of admission.
Killer soundtrack.
EVERY DAY'S GREAT AT YOUR JUNES!
I'm a little burned out of jrpgs right now... do you think I should a wait a bit or play right away(I'm a p5 fan)
Depends, I would play it in a while personally especially since it’s an older game. But, this game is basically a must play for any persona fan. As persona 3/4 always had better characters and writing compared to 5. 5 is a lot more aesthetic than substance. If you prefer really deep combat stuff than wait a bit to play it. If you like persona for characters and writing go play it immediately.
Already got the platinum trophy for P4G on the Vita. Day 1 buy on PC. Hopefully this game’s success sees P3 and P5R releases on PC (or Switch).
That's really cool that they released it on PC! I don't ps vita, so now I can play 4th installment in the series! YAY!
I'd love a proper remaster of Persona 3 combining all additions to the later versions. Basically the PSP port, but add back in the cut scenes they snipped out.
2:28 thats ps2 motion blur for ya
Yup hopefully theres a way to disable it with mod maybe
After playing p5 and p4 I want to play p3, should I wait for a possible pc release?
Lucky you
I played persoan 4 on ps2 last year and i had a blast,i straight up played p3 after and p5.When i heard p4g is coming on pc i was shocked.I bought the game straight away.Cant wait to finish up my exams to play ,maybe i ll try a 100 %
Have only played P5 and P5 Royal. It's a bit dated but I've heard so many good things about this game I might just pick it up soon!
Japanese audio sounds dated, but I found the English audio amaaazing! Very well voiced!
Best girl on the thumbnail
Of course.
Weird way of spelling Naoto,.
Can this game be beaten without using a walkthrough?
I've been wanting to play a proper entry in the Persona series for some time now. I don't have a PS4 (nor do I want to pay the scalpers prices to pick up a PS2 and a copy of whichever one is on that system) and I didn't want to buy the system to play Persona 5. So, I snagged the Nintendo 3DS Persona Q2. It was...alright. I could tell that the source material was probably great, but, again...not gonna buy a system for one game. Anyways, as I was perusing Steam today, I discovered that this game FINALLY released on the PC. AND since it's a port of an already super old game, I could run it on my PC laptop with integrated graphics and not take it on the chin graphics or FPS wise. So...definitely going for it. I've heard several people say this is their favorite game of all time and I guess I'll find out. And, I also heard that the soundtrack was outstanding (as the one produced for Persona Q2 was great, IMHO), and to add it for $5 to the already dirt cheap price tag of $20 seemed like a no brainer. Hopefully I have the time to get through this one...
I'm so happy that we finally get Megaten exposure on pc!!!
My problem with this is my sound doesn't work and the game is broken on basic level. with no sound effects or music in general outside of the animated cutscenes, the game just feels dead.
I hope someone fixes it because I was genreally looking forward to this.
So like, Is Persona 3 next to be ported over on Steam?
1:50 I'll take good story and interesting characters over graphics any day of the week
You didn't talk about the laggy cutscenes
I didn't see that when I played it. There's a tiny blip just before all out attacks, but it seemed too minor a thing to mention.
@@rockpapershot lucky
did they keep the audio quality lower like on the vita did
i might just presume so
now we just need a port of p3fes with p3p's team control on steam and ill be set for life replaying both of them along with playing p5
It’s weird how golden came to PC, I wonder what’s next for Atlus. I do think the persona 2 duology is the second best in the series after 3 so I hope they get an updated PC port.
would gladly buy this so atlus release Persona 5 on pc in the future
I hope they would start remaking all the previous Persona games with P5 graphics and mechanics improvements like what Capcom did to the RE series
This sucks, im 12 hours into my playtrough on vita, just After finishing kanjis castle. Should i still get it? I really want to play persona on pc
I still think it's a more natural fit for Vita - the ability to put console on standby to pause it is very handy - but it hopefully won't break the bank to get it on PC. It's £15 on Steam.
@@rockpapershot I think im going to get it. I know its kinda wasting money, but i waited for persona pc ports for a long time.
Or wait for sales if you dont plan to play this game rn
@@KaizAmari well im gonna buy it as fast as possible i guess
@@elladoros Another RUclipsr was able to move his P4G Vita Save files to the PC version so if you don't want to start over, you should search up how to do that. (If you buy it again that is.)
Chock… ices?
Is that supposed to be some sort of ice cream?
How do you make a bad ice cream?
Britain really is a hellscape!
This game is a masterpiece
Hello sorry for asking can an hp laptop notebook 15 run it correctly or not please let me know someone
If you have a xbox controller use it the 4 way directional keyboard is very outdated,if you can. Super fun so far!!
Bought p5 and emulated p3p. I finally get to finish my persona collection
I saw the video in my recommended and I was so surprised. Finally! I remember trying to emulate this game but it was always broken. Now I don’t need to buy a sh*ty pstv or vita
I want to play P4 so badly but i have a Mac ): i loveeeee P5 so much and have almost 100% the game and i would love P4 so much i promise ill get a PC one day
Oh hey I watched giant bomb play through this years ago. Since they had two groups of two people playing at the same time, I watched it all the way through, twice
Dedication!
It was easy. The game’s story is captivating, and the way it can be different depending on your actions made watching it twice concurrently quite interesting.
I'm hoping this does great and they port P3 too and maybe the other Persona games.
My first ever Platinum.
I just want to say the comparison to Pokemon always felt odd to me as SMT has been around far longer and the capture and Fuse mechanic has been there since Digital Devil Story Megami Tensei in 1987. It would seem to me that Dragon Quest took inspiration from these games and Pokemon in turn took inspiration from both.
People who know Persona, know about SMT and its relation to that. I was explaining the game to newcomers. I don't think SMT means anything to them. Pokémon is useful shorthand, nothing more!
@@rockpapershot No I get that. A lot of people don't realize how much of an impact this series has had on JRPGs and I think it's because the series has always sold lesser than other franchises. I am sure that has almost everything to do with the Mature content preventing it from even coming west for a decade. I am glad that the series keeps topping each other with each release. P4 then SMT IV then P5. Here's to hoping that SMT V Sells as well as P5 did. cheers.
@@HoudiniFontmeister I'm betting SMT V will sell really well since SMT IV Apocalypse's gameplay is godtier and if they improve on it even more so, oh boy I can't even imagine what will happen. SMT IV and SMT IV A were on handheld, which I believe limited sales, but now it's on a home console and can expect even more sells. Also, at the time Atlus wasn't well known but P5 has paved the way for Atlus moving forward and helped Garner the attention of the public marking Atlus on the map of game developers who's games are worth buying and playing. All these reasons are why I believe it's going to sell well, oh and Atlus makes more PS5 games and hardly makes any Switch games, I think a good amount of people who've wanted to play an Atlus game but couldn't due to not owning a PS5 will buy it just to have a taste of that Atlus goodness.
@@Bros_Before_Hee_ho_hos Well SMT IV outsold P4 and was their biggest seller til P5. The 3DS was a huge seller. I agree. The devs said when they began that they wanna combine the Gameplay battle mechanics of IV with the Charm of Nocturne. I think that means they want it to be a fully 3D world with the gameplay of 4. It is definitely something to be excited for. It is exciting to see the series finally getting the love it deserves. They need to Port SMT I, II, If, and KMT to the switch. in english. They have hinted at remaking Nocturne as well. It would be nice to remake IV for the switch as well since it is so low res and trapped on the 3DS. A HD switch port would be amazing.
Imaginé for PS4....
@Warron93 I know right? It seems like the logical next step... but nope, PC it is XD Maybe it MIGHT be on ps4 at some point, but who knows. For now I'll still play it on my Vita. I still have a lot of games on that console to play :3
Unfortunately my pc can’t even run it so I have to hope it comes to ps4
@@supremequantv6887 Really? You must've an old pc or something because the requirements didn't seem that high to me
Guys it might be announced at new game plus expo. There’s no way in hell Altus is going to release a persona game for pc and not PlayStation.
Anvitzi NSFW it’s weird because my laptop can run gta v but not persona 4 golden
i bought it instantly and began playing, but from this video, i get the inpression the english dub(that i'm playing with) is actually sharper in sound that the japanese one i heard.
still, its one of the game series i always wanted to play but could't becouse i did't have the console(like with P5) or its from a platform thats only something u can get from collectors like the original P4 golden and the older ones.
Its a shame Atlus does't want to shake of their rep of doing bad ports, but still, i hope they will also remaster the older Persona game we never got to play, heard so many good things about the over the years it does make one curious.
I wouldn't say it's a bad port. Just a straight port. With some really nice work being done with remasters and remakes these days, it's important to point it out when it's a simpler job.
@@rockpapershot could't agree more, but i can't but hope they put more effort in any future releases.
@@weertangel7231 it's their 2nd game ported to pc, I think they were hesitant to release it to PC because they are just begginers and didn't want to make a bad port of a game and disappoint fans. That being said, Atlus for the most part listens to criticism and betters itself overtime, so I'm sure they'll fix this issue in the coming days.
A nightmare insight into Matthews school years....
Will we get P5 on PC?
finally I can play the game without all these "stutterness&slowness" I've experienced with 30fps gameplay in Persona 4 original. This looks way smoother.
stutterness? No stutterness on PS TV/VITA so far...
mystic865 he’s talking about the original p4
I literally bought a vita last month just for Persona 4 golden if only I would have know
Any extra PC features?
Japanese audio option is new, and there's Steam Achievements. But outside of that, no new content.
@@rockpapershot still worth revisiting. Japanese audio reruns always fun
Already have it on my ps vita, i will wait for the p3 (a.k.a. the best persona) to come to pc.
I have this on PS2, PS3 (PSN) and PS Vita. Do I dare get it on PC too? -_-
lets hope theres gonna be some texture improvement mods
Or came here because the last announcement...😏
While looking for a game to play thanks to fucking PSO2 uninstalling itsetf I found this game just released on Steam. This is my first Persona game and I bought it because the overwhelming positive reviews it has. Oh boy doesn’t disappoint
Holy, already!
It would been awesome if they made a remake of this
persona 5 will be coming to pc that my hoping
If my shitty PC can run LoL, can it run Persona 4 in low graphics?
Weird that most of your critiques are about the graphics. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how good this looks despite it's age.
Not critiques, really - just flagging that this isn't a flashy remaster. As I say in the video, the style of the game lets it get away with quite a basic port. It's pretty timeless.
Actually the audio thing only happens with Japanese audio for some reason, English sounds great.
I just bought this. Odds on me completing it before Friday? Outlook does not look good...
Ten hours a day should get you there. What happens on Friday?
Haha, I am in the same boat! I don't want to start anything too long because of the Last of Us 2 coming out on Friday. I think I'll stick to smaller games for the next 4 days.
That's the one! I'm gonna use it as a pallet cleanser once I've finished TLOU2
Does this pc port support ps4 dual shock controllers?
It's on Steam so it should work with your PS4 controller (wired) without problem.
In fact, I'm playing it on PC using my Switch Pro Controller right now. 😊
Kaash na ho!!! It's my favourite!! Kaash na ho!!!!
I have a good pc but I want to get this on PS4
You talked alot about The płot rather than the port. Does the internet option to 'send help' even work for example? These are the things people are interested in in a port review video, not the płot lel
I talked about the plot for three lines. Thanks for watching.
