they don't, you just think they do because it's what you interact with the most- oh, who am i kidding, you're a tourist to by the looks of this post. let me rephrase, you just think they do because it's the identity you chose to attach your normalfag skinwalking behavior to, it could've been anything, movies, books, comics, cartoons, crafts, whatever. i would argue movies, especially "nerdy" movies, have more tourists since they are easier to consume, and so do books recently because kids are so illiterate they think reading a book is a big accomplishment and want asspats just for skimming one. leave your hivebox now and then

Games have a big 'tourist' problem because vidya is easily accessible and has a wide variety of titles that encompass a wide variety of interests. Film also has a similar problem with a bunch of people who watch whatever MCU slop is in theaters and call themselves big film buffs.

I prefer 'tourists' to a hobby than performative faggots and posers. People who brag about reading books are universally insufferable and I hope they are all trapped in a shit-stained cell and the only way out is to actually finish a real novel.

Frost is a funny snowman, Pyro is a funny jack-o-lantern, while Ripper is a skeleton with a knife inspired by a mildly controversial figure. He's just inherently less marketable.

Well, that, and the fact that the PS2 Megatens didn't feel the need to include him, denying him a 3D model

They don't, you're just more invested in vidya. Posers have been clowned on since basically the inception of music, comics have consistently been fucked over by speculators and moviefags since the 90s, every nerd niche has been getting invaded by scalpers, casuals, and fake fans since it became more and more chic to play at these hobbies. This isn't special to games, you just don't care about anything else.

are you guys too young to have went through gamergate? /v/ was basically ground zero and it was going very well until a sudden influx of hundreds of shills who turned it into a man vs. woman thing (the very thing /v/ was trying to prevent) and then it forcefully flipped tye culture of the hobby upside down for nerds looking for more nerd cred because they got into all that during the huge super hero boom around that time. the industry had to have them ad their main audience. the old audience thinks too much

it happened to every major media and comic books gave the most resistance. entertainment is huge. it was all set up to fall one by one. all other media had their "gamergate" as well. the trayvon martin case wasn't enough. it was the set up for the world we have today

I was gonna say those who experienced 1&2 are secondaries, but the gap between 1&2 and SMT is very small anyway since if you played them you already probably played several SMT games to begin with. I’ve never seen anyone shun a 1&2 fan the way they shun 3-5.

>>748917241
The cathedral is literally one of the starter "dungeons" of smt2 bro you need to explore that shit to advance the plot, and only the first floor of smt1 cathedral is bad, the way up to lawfags or down to chaosfags is pretty chill, and that not counting how the random encounters in the cathedral are weak as fuck

Usually these shitter threads aren't worth posting, but I feel I have to stress it's a shame how Persona's success has dragged in lore averse fans, because MT and SMT were built off exploring folklore.
The books and games are by no means a cultural lesson but you still get a glimpse at human civilization through mythological, religious, cryptid and folk figures, instead of pop psych high school bullshit.

Gaming is interactive, which is an extra layer to it that many other mediums don't have and by itself is even a barrier of entry. Many people don't actually care about "their hobby" and are only in it to kill time or to get with what's trendy, so this barrier is enough to filter them. They will happily watch someone else play or will happily just consume "gaming" in some other vicarious way. This is why you get secondaries and tertiaries.

because it makes more money than any other genre of entertainment and because of that has brought in libtard feminist tranny and racists to push their politicial agendas and corpo cock suckers who push this shit thinking it will reach more demographics other than the core fan base
