DesolateMood, do gaming w Let's discuss: Pokémon

I’ve played almost every game between gen 3 and gen 7, but that’s about where I started falling out of love with it. Idk something about the new games just doesn’t jive with me. Rom hacks are pretty cool, although I felt they were stagnant for a while. Been a while since i checked though so time to see if people have cooked up anything good in the last year or two

DragonTypeWyvern, do gaming w still can't believe Mewt made the whole thing up

No, fool, Ramza is dreaming Mewt who made up Ivalice with all the other Aeons in between Blitzball seasons but that’s all inside the singularity known as Ozma.

A card in Triple Triad.

Mim,

I mean, you can give him one in game.
Wonder how he’d do with it though.

I want to like these games so bad. Most of my friends are super into it but it just hasn’t clicked for me. There’s just… Sooooooooo much to do in these games. I get that is the appeal but it burnt me out hard. When 0 turned into a real estate management mini game I ended up calling it quits. I may get back to it eventually but dang. These games are huge despite their smallish maps

knokelmaat,

I had similar issues until I gave myself this rule: only do side stories and main story quests. If they require playing a mini game, sure, but only play the minigames as a novelty, don’t try to complete them!

ConstableJelly,

I started with 0 and worked my way chronologically from there (with the remakes for 1 and 2), and 0 is my pick for best if the series. I think the thing to know about the real estate sub-game, and others of its ilk like the host club in the same game (I think), is that they are completely parallel, non-consequential, optional content.

I personally feel that you could go through every single Yakuza game playing only the main story and side stories without missing anything of value. I would frequently force myself to play batting cages or karaoke or dancing because fans talk a lot about that stuff, but there’s really very little there to compel your attention unless you enjoy it. You can totally skip all that.

You could probably also skip the side stories if you just want to follow the main path, but those I do think are more crucial to Yakuza’s experience and identity - the outrageously silly flip side of the coin to the main story’s soap-opera-esque melodrama.

LoamImprovement,

I kind of feel that - I think the issue for me is that there’s a lot going on in each of these games that is tangential to the primary gameplay loop that on the surface isn’t obligatory, so if you find it not to your liking you can choose not to engage, but avoiding the secondary activities locks you out of some rewards for the PGL often and severely enough that you do feel obligated to engage to the point you can get these rewards. Especially in the gambling minigames, I often feel relieved when the points you buy end up being the same points you exchange for said rewards because it means I can just engage in the fighting a little more instead of having to gamble.

Case in point, I’m playing Infinite wealth right now and it feels like a big step up from the first Like a Dragon, but I’m still finding myself pulled into the Sujimon quests even though I personally don’t like monster tamer games. I don’t even know what the rewards are but half of the map icons are raids and trainers, so I feel like I should at least be putting time into maintaining a team with the ones I can catch just from grinding out fights for Job XP.

One thing I love about the series is how detailed they are with food and drinks.

DdCno1,

I have - and I’ve been chasing that high ever since.

reseller_pledge609, do gaming w What are your favorite ROM hacks?

I love all of the quality of life additions that Radical Red gave to Fire Red. Sadly, I don’t enjoy the difficulty.

ClassifiedPancake,

Wtf I found her to be very attractive in the trailer. Some people confuse me.

Petter1,

It seems to me, some people just want to hurt others… Best is to ignore the loud minority and focus on the not so loud majority, which will buy the game 😇

boonhet,

Even better, don’t focus on the majority OR the minority. Wait till the game’s out before you make a decision. Don’t preorder shit.

Viri4thus,

The gamer is a ragebait shitrag manufacturing controversy where there is none. Stop driving traffic to that piece of garbage.

Give me a source you prefer, I will be happy to swap it. The first results I found was this and Forbes and I was expecting this reaction for Forbes.

Viri4thus,

Well, maybe, just maybe, it’s a handful of idiots and not worthy of amplifying their message so real journalists just ignore them?

Tell that to OP, I’m providing the context for their post that I didn’t have.

wizardbeard, do gaming w Let's discuss: UFO 50

Something I haven’t seen talked about too much is that there is a hidden meta-puzzle involving a hidden 51st game, and one of the fictional in-universe devs trying to catalog what happened to/at the company.

It’s not relevant to enjoying the game as a whole, but it’s interesting how deeply some of it is hidden. The official discord has folks running it all down, and FuryForged on youtube has made a 48 minute video walking through everything that’s been discovered so far.

statler_waldorf, do gaming w Let's discuss: UFO 50

I don’t recall the names of them all. There were a couple I bounced off of like the House Party one and the platformer with insane controls.

There were a couple that stuck with me like the Bubble Bobble soccer one, the paint racer, Bushido Ball, and the one where you make a chain reaction to blow up demons and save pilgrims.

Camouflage/Chameleon got its hooks in me though and I cherried it in just a few sessions.

thief_of_names,

Camouflage/Chameleon

yes! It’s surprisingly difficult for being such a simple concept

Love it, would recommend to anybody. It’s got so much variety, I think anyone could find a game or two they love. I’ve got almost 150 hours in it, mostly on Party House and Campanella 2, which I’ve cherried but keep coming back to.

Moonrise2473, do gaming w at this point it just feels vindictive

I Hope for astrobot PC

DdCno1,

Highly unlikely, given how much the game is built around Playstation as a brand, IPs that are on their console and the capabilities of the PS5 controller.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Then again they said that Astrobot boosted the sales of their other games

Moonrise2473,

never say never, i also assumed that sackboy would never be ported but they did it (2 years after the launch on ps5, of course)

astro bot on pc might increase sales of dualsense controller

DdCno1,

Huh, I must have missed this release. Maybe you’re right.
