I bought Persona 5 when it was on sale for ~20 bucks several months ago (actually got it cheaper because I had a discount code that came w/buying the Spiderman console bundle), thinking that I might dip into it during the summer, when I'm free of the academic year and basically just working on my research and watching baseball.
Yesterday I decided to give it a whirl because I had an unexpected day off, and had planned to play RDR2, but didn't factor the necessity of downloading a huge patch in order to be able to start.
I played it for 5 hours last night, and now I don't want to do the grading and research work I need to get done today. I think I'm in trouble. (And the game hasn't even fully opened up yet, I'm still halfway(?) through the long introductory part... Ann just joined the party. So the social spectrum stuff, which was what had me a bit skeptical about the game, hasn't opened up much yet, but I've wasted an hour reading random things about the game this morning, and based on my experience last night, I think I get the whole scope of things a bit more than I did when I was just reading about it.)
