    in my last run of P3, I got to the end and only used two personae: Lilith (possibly NSFW) and Loki

    i initially used them for gameplay reasons

    i kept using them because i realized they were both glam-rocky as fuck, and i was instantly enchanted

    I saw Iron Man 3 tonight. I did not care for it. It was really sloppy and shallow. The story didn't flow. What happened in one scene was almost unrelated to the next. There were like 20 little ideas that got smushed together into a movie and that was that.

    No, you are wrong and wanted a boring movie.

    Is truth.

    Though, honestly, I really did not get this sense of "smushed together" or disharmony that other people seemed to have gotten from it. I think it all fit together pretty great in the end, actually. I think it may have generated that feeling in people due to the fact that Shane Black seems to have very much wanted to do exactly what you were not expecting him to do at any given moment, though. There were a lot of set-ups that he builds and then purposefully doesn't go for. Basically he trollin', which I loved.

    Musically, it's one of the only area in which it's even close. Both games have an awesome soundtrack. Which one is best is left to indivudual taste, IMO. Advantage P3, I say, because it needs it :)

    Storywise, P4 is more complex, even tough it pulls the '' hey we have the killer..... o wait no'' card too often

    Graphically, it's no context. P4 all the way.

    Gameplay wise, it's again P4 all the way. Being able to control all your charachters make the battles a lot more enjoyable and intense. I wonder how come P3 didn't have that? This seems so obvious in retrospect.

    P4 have Teddie :D P3 have Mitsuru, my favourite female characther in any game,ever.

    Persona 3 portable has this.

    Good point. I shall correct my initial statement

    I have played P3 and P4 for several hundreads of hours in their original version, on the PS2.

    I've completed P3 5 times, P4 3 times.

    Persona is the non-Squeenix serie I have played the most, by far.

    Stark's anxiety attacks were stupid. The movie couldn't decide if it wanted to be a sequel to The Avengers or not, so they kept making oblique references, but were sure to keep them contentless so the movie would stand alone. If the b-story is gonna be Tony getting over his PTSD from The Avengers, you can't do that. Recap, go into detail, show us the aftermath. SOMETHING. It's ridiculous just just be like: NUFFIN IS DA SAYME SINCE NEW YORK and then never say more. There was no real progression either. Attack, attack, attack, boom CURED SOMEHOW.

    The Mandarin was hilarious but there was not nearly enough of him before the reveal.

    The little kid sidekick wins underdeveloped, underused character of the year. I thought the movie had abandoned him until at the very end he was awarded with Verizon FIOS presents Pimp My Lab.

    There were 10 Million Iron men but instead of being awesome, each suit got destroyed one-by-one like they were made out of aluminum foil. Also, they had the Mark 42 explode into pieces a few too many times.

    If War Machine was functional, why didn't the president try to get away?

    I wonder if you should just do a tour for some of the trip - to see if briefly lots of the bits you want to see easily, then keep a week free at the end to spend somewhere. Maybe do the tour through Northern Europe, then spend a week or two in Southern France.

    If War Machine was functional, why didn't the president try to get away?
    The anxiety attacks were great for two reasons (1) they illustrated what anxiety attacks are really like in a way that wasn't melodramatic and represented a very human way of reacting to the sorts of comic book shit Stark has had to deal with and (2) they built into the larger overall theme of the movie. Yes, all of the Avengers shit was pushed to the side and ignored because Black was making a movie about Ironman, so it ignored everything in the film that didn't have a direct impact on Ironman himself as a character. The truth is that Avengers didn't even need to happen for the anxiety attacks to make sense, all you need is Stark to feel powerless without his suits and like he's naked and vulnerable without them.

    The anxiety attacks weren't cured "somehow", they were cured when Stark came to the realization that he didn't need to hide inside his suits in order to survive, that he was the source of their power and not the other way around. He comes to this realization when the kid, who is used sparingly explicitly so he didn't become tacky or annoying, gives him a unique perspective on who he is. "You're the mechanic, build something."

    Likewise, when the suits show up to rescue him Stark proceeds to use them like tools to be discarded. They're flimsy and fall apart without the man inside them to pilot them, and even when he is they crumple against the force of the enemies they're fighting but Stark just ejects into a new one. They aren't the protagonist here: Stark is. Their only strength comes from being an extension of him.

    And the answer to your last question is an honest "Who cares?". He was unconscious or its good bits were turned off or something, doesn't matter.
