ErsatzCoalButter, do gaming w Godzilla 2 (NES) is good, actually

You haven’t truly tasted victory in your gaming life until you sink Rodan the first time. Downing a big bandit in XCOM comes close, but you won’t get it until you play it.

Ignatz,

This game really stoked my hatred for Rodan.

Great vid man, I appreciate the passion for the game, subscribed!

Ignatz,

Thanks, I enjoyed making it. Love me some Godzilla.

That's interesting that they give you the full details like that. Most games will, at most, tell you "We took action against a player you reported", or something equally vague.

I remember when you were kept in the loop 100% because the admin was another player in the game who owned the server.

Almost all permaban are technically very long temporary ban.

thingsiplay,

I saw some permaban which does state its permanently deactivated, and not banned for a time limit.

Almost.

Overwatch (and 2) quickly spiraled into bullshit report fest. You said “gg” at wrong time and some dumbass reported you. I shit you not. And now people report on even more petty things because they know there is never any check done if said actually is true and false reports never get punished. Also their support sucks so horrendously bad. Can’t say how good NetEase is at that as I never had to contact them yet, but Blizzard is just the worst there is in this regard. Even EA is not this bad and they are universally the worst.

Funny, I remember when Blizzard let battlenet get overrun by bot accounts in like the early 2000’s or something. I guess they’ve always been bastards.

I got chat restricted in Overwatch once, and when checking the logs they give you as to the reason, there was a chat between two other teammates, and me just saying “Zenyatta can’t heal himself.”

777,

Does anything happen to the reported player as the result of a report? I’d imagine if a report is found to be false, reports from that player are deprioritised, but I don’t think you would punish them because they could just be mistaken.

If you watch high level counterstrike for example, you could be forgiven for thinking some of these players are cheating (despite playing on LAN in an arena) because their aim, prediction and game sense is just that good.

saigot, (edited )

I mean i guess it worked, overwatch is pretty happy community right now (by online game standards), least in my experience. Although I think the bigger thing is toxic players are first to leave for other games, like rivals.

I’m surprised they have anyone manning the wheel

thingsiplay,

That’s the 8 man (not sure about how many, but I think it was less than 10) helper team in the US which got laid off. They were only contracted and this is actually normal in the industry. Those articles are sensational. The main team in China is unaffected by this.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMFG, who is she tho? Just rando spamming in DMs?

ErsatzCoalButter,

she was very clear who she is, it is the only thing we know about her

Did every single person get these DMs from her?

cabb,

I haven’t gotten one

ma1w4re,

Yet

My guess is that there's a bot (or very bored person) monitoring a few major communities and they just DM everybody who posts there. I took a bit of a break from social media a while ago and the first time I commented after that, two fediverse chick DMs. Seems like they are responding to activity.

Danitos,

The weird thing is that she seems to be an actual person, if you check the socials she links in her DM. Kind if fascinating.

prex,

I only got mine yesterday. It felt nice to be included.

overload,

Literally my first DM

kyle,

Me too!

Syd,

You can call her the fediverse chick! There’s three different skins for her you can encounter, this is the most common.

ma1w4re,

Ahh, a being o’ many skins. How terrifying

SuperSpruce, do gaming w Let's discuss: Pokémon

Oh boy. I got into Pokémon when I was 8 and I still love the format. It has a great progression system (at least in my mind) and can be used in easy and super challenging ways, like Nuzlockes. I have way too much nostalgia for the series and I like the music way too much.

My short opinions of the each game:

R/B/Y: Unbalanced, seriously exploitable glitchy games. At least there’s no cutscenes.

G/S/C: Terrible level curve, ruins the games.

R/S/E: The first games to really nail the format.

FR/LG: What R/B/Y should’ve been.

D/P: Great potential but please play on emulator because they’re so slow. Play platinum instead and don’t bother with the remakes.

HG/SS: Best for a grand Pokémon Game, but still retains some of the bad progression from G/S/C. Still a great game overall

B/W: I have way too much nostalgia for these games but they’re some of the best.

B2W2: Less nostalgia but objectively better than even B/W in multiple ways.

XY: Mediocre

OR/AS: Good remake on a great base.

S/M/US/UM: If you like playing Pokemon instead of watching cutscenes, don’t play these games. Seriously, don’t.

LGPE: Gimmicky games. FR/LG is better unless you really enjoy the Let’s Go gimmicks.

SwSh: Mediocre I believe

BDSP: See D/P

PLA: I still need to get around to playing it, gah the backlog is too long

S/V: Actually really great games if you hate how linear other Pokemon games are like I do, and you can look past the performance issues

If you have any questions or comments please reply lol.

Me and my son have a history with Pokemon. It’s a franchise close to our hearts, but we’re both disappointed with everything that happened on the switch. I’ll always remember taking him to the anime convention to battle with the local gym champions. Just watched the Z-A trailer and it’s depressing really. The last entries’ artistic direction is utterly lifeless and the gameplay feels stale, despite the revolving door of gimmicks from gen to gen. I’m still hoping, one day, we get a fucking good Pokemon game though.

comically_cluttered,

I mean, the Z-A previews definitely showed a similar art style, but the battling gameplay is completely new. Dodging out of rollout looks great.

If it’s in Lumiose, I really hope the “you’re not the one” hex maniac girl is back and they actually resolve that plot thread. I doubt it, but who knows.

Vodulas, do gaming w Let's discuss: Pokémon

I have never played a pokemon game (except Go). I don’t have nostalgia for pokemon, but I would like to play. I am down to start at any point (I can probably emulate for any platform I don’t own). Where would folks recommend I start?

shnizmuffin,
@shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol avatar

X/Y we’re the games that brought me back into Pokémon after skipping a few generations, and the upcoming Legends A-Z takes place in the same region. Seems like a great place to start.

Vodulas,

Excellent. Sounds like a great place to start. Thanks!

missingno,
@missingno@fedia.io avatar

I'd say HeartGold/SoulSilver were the absolute peak, and the best entry point. Faithful to the spirit of the originals while feeling sufficiently modernized, and they went above and beyond with how much bonus content they packed into it.

Vodulas,

Oh nice. Someone else suggested X/Y. Do you think HeartGold/SoulSilver are a better starting spot or about the same? I only ask since it X/Y is a little newer, so might have QoL improvements

missingno,
@missingno@fedia.io avatar

I'd say HGSS is much more polished, and the formula hasn't changed much since anyway. Only major mechanic differences in XY would be Fairy-type and reusable TMs.

IMO, XY is pretty rough around the edges, felt a bit unfinished. There's a good foundation in there, with more time in the oven Z potentially could've been one of the best games in the series...

Vodulas,

Awesome, thank you!

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

I will back up HeartGold/SoulSilver as well. Just a perfect modernized adaption of a classic generation, lots (and I mean lots) of content, lots of catchable Pokémon, lots of legendaries, two regions… I think they really hit it out of the park with it. I also personally enjoyed using the Pokewalker to get access to exotic Pokémon.

It’s not completely free of issues (the level curve isn’t the best and - being based on an older game - it’s much less story oriented than later titles). However, I still hold it as one of the best games they ever put out, and a great entry point.

chloyster,

Not much to add other than I am yet another voice that considers HeartGold SoulSilver to be the peak of the franchise

bamboo,

Username checks out

smeg,

I’m not sure I’d recommend X/Y to start as others have. I definitely enjoyed it but it was noticeably dumbed-down compared to older games. It’s not as bad as S/M (which was so trivially challenge-free I got bored), but I’m concerned that you might just not be interested. They say that game freak keep releasing games for small children despite the players growing up, so bare that in mind if you find the newer games too easy.

I’m not sure I can recommend R/B/Y to a newbie either, as without any nostalgia they will probably seem incredibly dated. Maybe FR/LG is a good place to start, I hardly played it but it seems like you get the original experience with a bit of polish. I feel it’s better to start with an older game as then if you like it you can continue through them in order rather than going back to something with less features. That said if you think it’s too old and you’re not enjoying it then just skip to something newer!

Vodulas,

I’m not too concerned with that. If I don’t like the best in the series, then I probably won’t like any of them, but I am OK with that. A lot of folks are saying HeartGold/SoulSilver as better starting points, so I went with that. Got it emulated, so no real loss for me if I don’t like it.

smeg,

Hard to say what the best is as it’s very much an opinion but HG/SS is probably a good choice
