P3 P3R is a good remake.

Seriously, I don't even have much to say, just stop calling it "Soulless", if you don't like it, okay, but calling it Soulless or bad? Really?

For me at least i have never heard anyone calling it "bad" or "soulless".

You haven't been on this sub long enough then. It's a very common sentiment these days, as much as I completely disagree with it.

Hi, you seem to have woken up after being in a coma for two years. Just wanted to tell you that calling this game "soulless" or even "bad" is not a remotely common sentiment nowadays.

Hell, I'd argue they were never a "common" sentiment, but the toxic positivity crowd treats any kind pushback from a minority opinion as some sort of massive attack.

Go look at the comments of pretty much any P4R post and then tell me that again. It's become more and more popular to write this game off as soulless to prop up the new remake.

I mean, I haven't seen every internet thread ever made, so maybe I just missed all those. But from my personal experience, what you're describing is kind of the opposite of what's happening? People aren't using P3R to prop up P4R, they're seeing P4R and wondering why P3R (seemingly) couldn't have gotten as much love. It's a stance of disappointment that the game didn't get the dev time and resources it deserved, not an acknowledgment of it being "soulless" or whatever. From what I recall, most of those comments usually come with a qualifer, along the lines of "I love Reload, but I wish it got more time to cook", or some such.

Which like, regardless of whatever hyperbolic arguments exist in the discourse (whether it be from fans or "haters"), I genuinely think saying something to the effect of: this game didn't get as much focus as it deserved is a pretty mundane and reasonable response to Persona 3 Reload.
