It doesn't sound like I game I would enjoy, but this review was really hard to read. It sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
@Moto5 has had some valid counter arguments and instead of addressing those, you basically called him a troll. Sorry, but moto5 has presented the more persuasive case from where I am sitting.

I've always found the "no gameplay" argument to be specious when discussing these kinds of games. If the entertainment product is designed around a convention that doesn't involve traditional gameplay, so what? We all watch movies and enjoy them, so what exactly is wrong with a game designed this way? If that's not what you want to play, that's fine. But don't try and invalidate this entertainment based on some arbitrary subjective metric--it's illogical.
I'm 40 or so hours in to P5 Royal (PS5). This is my first experience with a Persona game and I am a total convert. It's outstanding in every respect. As a kid who moved around a lot when I was a kid, P5 does a great job at capturing the "new kid" at school feel. I could say a lot more, but suffice it to say, Xbox fans are in for a treat.
I chose Avowed. Looking at this list gets me excited for the Xbox platform. The series S is the first Xbox I have ever owned and my friends (Sony fans) are surprised every time I tell them that the Xbox is going to surprise a lot of gamers this gen. Everwild is absolutely gorgeous, and a new Fable? I can't flipping wait.
I'm interested. Bows have always been a subjective preference of mine when playing RPG's. It's very cool that the main characters primary weapon is a bow. Kind of makes me think this is a FPS AAA RPG.
@JayJ My favorite platform is Playstation. But I completely agree with your comment. Sony fans are the most toxic. Go to n4g and you'll be down voted just for saying something positive about the Xbox brand. Don't let it bother you my friend. I just ignore them and live a happy life surrounded by all of my platforms--PS/Xbox/Nintendo/PC--it's all about the games not the brand
I've been console agnostic for years. It's all about the games, not the console. That's why I didn't have to think twice about purchasing my first Xbox console ever a few months ago (I've played my friends Xbox for years). Fanboys are too caught up in the "my team is better than your team" mentality. Being liberated from that mentality and playing games across all platforms is the only way to go.
The Series S is the first Xbox console I have ever owned. Obsidian and Bethesda are the primary reasons why I bought an Xbox. I'm loving the Xbox (playing the HMCC for the 1st time) and will probably bite the bullet and get a Series X too, because, why not? The point is, exclusive games sell consoles.
