I still have Persona 3 and 4 I need to play. Are they even worth playing at this point?

Same part I'm at, and agree with some of what you say, though I'm still liking it.
Spoiler
I would say they're all definitely still worth playing but it probably just comes down to how much time you want to devote, as all three can easily be 100+ hour games.
There's really nothing else out there like these games, so if you end up enjoying one of them your only options for something similar are another game from the same series.
I haven't tried going back to a previous game after playing a newer one, but I would guess it's a bit tough. Each new iteration adds a lot of polish and helpful features while removing some of the negatives.
Played a bit of the zelda update. Got killed by the master trials.
Last night I finished Shadowrun Returns. I've moved on to Shadowrun Dragonfall. Apparently after finishing that I can mess around with a bunch of mods for the game. I've also been tinkering in player unknown's battlegrounds some.
Final tally for the Steam sale was just Tembo the Badass Elephant, Stephen's Sausage Roll, and some $.49 DLC for Dungeon of the Endless.
As I was paring down the list to things I really wanted I kept thinking that I'd rather be spending the money on something like a game for an old console instead. May pick up the two Lost Kingdoms games sometime soon.
Only thing that gives me pause is that
Spoiler
I got a few hours into Shadowrun Returns at launch and really wasn't feeling it. Felt pretty half baked.
I've been wanting to go back to it since the patches and expansions polished it and added some functionality (like mid-battle saves). May skip the base game and just go straight to Hong Kong and Dragonfall, though.
It was pretty basic, that's for sure..but the story was good enough for me. I thought of it as a PnP session and was able to get through. The final boss battle is a pain.. For their first game off kickstarter it was good. The second one has expanded on it and you can tell there is a lot more polish and depth. The combat system, gear, etc has improved. There are also quite a few user made campaigns that add to it.
Now, with all that being said..all the research I've done lately on the game was 1. If you are a shadowrun fan, read the original books, maybe played the original RPG..then it is worth it to just start with Returns, go to Dragonfall, and then Hong Kong. 2. However, if you are only an RPG fan and theme/turn base/some other thing hooked your interest in the game, then skip it all and just do Hong Kong as it is most polished.
Patches and some bigger upgrades when the expansions came out have resulted in a lot of QoL improvements between the launch version I played and the 2017 version you played. Being able to save anywhere is the big one (used to have no way to suspend battles at all) but there was a smattering of other changes as well.
When I jump back in at some point I'll at least try the first one again but it will be on a short leash. Honestly 70+ hours for the whole series is generally more than I put into anything these days so given the likelihood I won't make it all the way through all 3 anyway (unless they REALLY agree with me) it wouldn't hurt to cut the first one short.
So close to the end of Persona 5 and I think I have one single confidant that may not make it to level 10 (Tower). Currently at 8. I have enough days left to finish it in theory but his availability is pretty spotty, and at least 3 days are no-gos because of the final dungeon and one last mementos trip.
Don't laugh to hard fellas..but I started playing SWTOR MMO and I'm freaking hooked...haven't played an MMO since I stopped my sub on LOTRO years ago. Now that I have my own desktop I downloaded SWTOR to check it out and I can't stop playing! I subbed for 6 months, so I'm entrenched in it until the end of the year LOL.
Playing Hollow Knight right now. Fun little game, but the lack of a focused story telling bothers me since I have no idea where to go and have to look up help online.
