alekwithak, do gaming w Turns out all you need to do is use what worked before!

The Pokemon game that locked features and Pokemon behind paid DLC released alongside the game revitalized the franchise? Fuck that. I’ve bought every Pokemon game since Red and every console to play them on, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before I give them more money when they’re just going to use to sue smaller developers and while letting fascists co-opt their music and imagery.

Every single person I know who bought it says it’s the best entry in the franchise in a decade, so… 🤷

paultimate14,

A decade ago was 2015 so that doesn’t say a whole lot.

alekwithak,

I believe it, only because that’s a pretty low bar lol. I’ll play it when I can 🏴‍☠️🦜 it.

I don’t think a Switch 2 emulator will come out any time soon, but I do respect the hustle. I myself am probably only gonna get anything Switch/Switch 2 related from resellers and/or used.

kkj,

It’s already available, has been for a week or so. I don’t think the Switch 2 version is different enough to really matter; obviously, if you’re buying it and have a Switch 2, you’re going to want the extra performance, but if you don’t have a Switch 2 or are otherwise acquiring it, might as well just get the Switch 1 version.

kkj,

PLA is definitely the better Legends game. PLZA is absurdly dialogue-heavy for a game that doesn’t have well-written dialogue, and they took out the damned Linking Cord, one of the best parts of PLA.

Also, there are scores of dialogue options, and the only ones that matter are your name and a handful of “are you ready to battle” ones; most have two options that mean exactly the same thing.

Karjalan,

I feel like arceus was waaay more dialog heavy? At least on the early game, I haven’t completed ZA yet.

To be fair the “DLC” isn’t actually available until 2026, what they have released now is basically a pre-order, still scummy but not as bad as you’re implying. Edit:for clarity, they didn’t cut anything out of the game, they just have a pre-order for the DLC.

alekwithak,

If before you’ve even finished a project you’ve already decided part of it won’t be included in the original project unless the user pays extra, that’s the definition of scummy.

TheLunatickle,

Isn’t that what all DLC is? The The expansion you can buy right now is basically just pre-ordering the DLC in 2026, like a season pass.

Honestly my greatest fear for the game is that it’s just bland. I can live with a flawed game (the original VTMB certainly could be called a flawed game itself after all.), but I think blandness would be the real killer for me.

Guess it’s really Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2: The Masquerade instead.

I hope it gets good mod support

Agent_Karyo, (edited ) do games w Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 | Review Thread

So basically it has little to do with the original VTMB and what made it great (other than the brand name).

They should have just made a random vampire adventure game.

I think The Chinese Room makes solid games, but they have zero experience in immersive, complex RPGs.

Well, it’s as we feared. the story seems to be not bad but every review calls the gameplay boring and uninspired.

SupraMario,

The originals gameplay was boring and uninspired as well. This game really stood with its story and RPG elements not its combat and gameplay.

Agent_Karyo,

The combat was honestly subpar (especially guns), but the quest design, character design, conversation and skill/clan system was super well done (I would argue these are critical elements for gameplay).

Digimon was a fad of a fad.

Absolutely Gorgeous!

Unpopular take but Pokemon is basically simulated hunting for kids.

Honytawk,

Unpopular take, but there really is no reason why pokeballs wouldn’t be able to capture people.

thatradomguy,

Can we get a Pocket Monsters spin off where this happens? Please?

kkj,

railway692,

We were this close to greatness

CheeseNoodle,

They do in the show once (Team Rocket) in a throwaway scene that implies pokeballs are fairly uncomfortable and also that humans are too powerful to be contained within ordinary pokeballs.

Pidgey used NINTENDO’S LAWYERS! It’s super effective!

dharmacurious, do gaming w So *this* is how it feels?

Does the show ever show us what the inside of a pokeball is like?

Atlas_,

Don’t think about it. Don’t ever think about it. That way is madness

dharmacurious,

I can’t stop thinking about it!

Why’d you go into battle with your health so low bud? Dude was asking for it if you ask me.

What a game!!! I played it back on PS3, almost did 100%, I remember I missed some animal I couldn’t get it to spawn no matter what.

I’ll play it again soon.

Serves you right, slaver.

If any blonde mullet ever said ‘trafficking’, it’s that one. Your honor, I rest my case.
