Because Pokémon fell down hard after Gen 5, and has a lot of unrealized potential. It could be great if Nintendo actually cared about delivering a good product.
inb4 “akchually Pokémon games are developed by Game Freaks”
Nintendo has the power to tell them to fuck off if their games continue being worse and worse every year, but don’t.
If I had a penny for every time a loser went on lemmy/reddit to bitch about someone bitching about nintendo/pokemon, I’d be a motherfucking billionaire.
I will never understand why you goddam losers spend so much time obsessively discussing bitching about bitching a brand you claim to hate.
Please downvote and block me if you don’t like what I’m saying. I’m so damn sick of the bitching about bitching about fun games I’m trying to enjoy.
If you think people should let you enjoy things in peace, you should let people not enjoy things in peace. And if you would shut the fuck up and read, maybe you’d find more games you could enjoy.
Sorry buddy but if someone doesn't like something about a game/company, and wants to complain about it, it's their goddamn right to do so; and if you consider the actions of said company recently, there's a lot to complain.
First time ever I’ve seen someone complain about Pokemon on lemmy. Only other time I saw Nintendo complaints was a couple of posts about Mario Kart during the Switch 2 launch.
I’m so damn sick of the bitching about fun games I’m trying to enjoy.
Most of us here aren’t braindead consumers who throw money at even subpar media, much less Game Freak slop. Could probably guarantee you most people on lemmy probably haven’t touched a Pokemon game since they were a kid.
It’s like a McDonald’s Happy Meal. It’s a targeted cheap product designed to make money.
I’m glad it’s good. Probably going to try to hold off until a sale because I’ve got my backlog full already but man, I’m tempted. Reviews sound great and a part of me wants to honour Itagaki by immediately getting in over my head in NG4 on Master Ninja.
I quite liked Legends: Arceus (pirated ofc) and will likely enjoy the new Legends game too. As much as it sucks to ever defend Nintendo, those two games in particular are exactly what I’ve been wanting: a Pokemon game that isn’t the exact same game for the 17th year in a row.
I haven’t actually tried Z-A yet, but L:A was really good imo.
Ugh, not available in my country because of stupid laws. My steam account is old enough to vote and drink liquor. But god forbid i could see the shop page of a game which wasnt rated properly.
Something to remember is that CTR came out three years later than MK64. That was a lot of time for that generation of games.
That said, I remember not liking CTR as a kid because while it had more depth, the friend who had it had put a ton of time into the campaign so I had no chance of keeping up with him trying to pick it up casually through the occasional multiplayer match.
Appreciate that! I don’t recall there ever being anything explaining that in the game - I played through it and unlocked all the characters, beat the Tropy ghosts and some of the Oxide ghosts, but never heard of this stuff the entire time.
I’ve noticed. Compared with their subpar games nowadays and the lack of freshness in their catalog. I’m not really feeling them anymore I’m playing Kirby air ride on dolphin more than anything
Emulating the classics, or playing them on real hardware might be the way to go, and not getting things like a Switch 2 or later (maybe a Switch, since you seemingly own the games you have in those cartridges, and not some DRM-heavy license where the developers will revoke it at any one time).
I’ve played some romhacks, so I get that part too. Otherwise, fan-made projects or romhacks would be much better nowadays than the slop that’s made today.
There’s a lot of undisclosed AI usage in modern games, and they won’t tell us in any storefront that doesn’t require AI disclosure.
I don’t think it’s strictly 3d, but I’ve heard really good things about Cassette Beasts. The gameplay looks good and the art is cute.
TemTem on steam is 3d through and through. I played it forever ago and it was rather enjoyable as a Pokemon breakaway. There were some fun synergies. However it’s apparently kinda gone downhill since launch, so I’m not sure how worthwhile it is
Consensus seems weak environmental design, mediocre graphics, and awesome combat—more Platinum than TN, which fans more or less predicted from the pre-release footage. As a Platinum fan myself, I don’t mind that, but I see why this can annoy the Itagaki faithful.
I’ve seen Steam reviews bring up some performance issues most critic reviews didn’t, but apart from that, I’m satisfied with the reception enough to add it to my wishlist. It’s such a nice feeling knowing there’s a new action game waiting to be bought and played. We don’t get to experience this feeling nearly enough.
Hopefully, Onimusha and Okami 2 will follow suit and we’ll get a DMC6 announcement soon.
Looks really nice! Thought it was a terraria clone at first, will check out the reviews
Edit: bought it since it's 75% off, played around 2 hours, it's pretty entertaining, I'm not a super fan of this kind of turn based combat in general, but we'll see
I loved this game, up until the difficulty ramped up quite hard and I just couldn’t proceed. Could be a classic issue of gidgud, but the shift was quite sudden, iirc. It’s been quite a while since I last played (early 2021, around ~13 hours, according to steam).
The game looks absolutely lovely, that style is absolute peak.
Basically just playing Slay the Spire and Miku Mega Mix, but I just found out SuperTuxKart 1.5 dropped and that might become the game I start playing a lot more now.
Just bounced off of Elden Ring again. It’s a good game but idk starting a fresh playthrough just feels like a slog. And jumping back into my overheated character feels boring. I should remove it from my “favorite game” section on Steam but idk what should replace it.
Another game I’m way more into than I thought is Final Fantasy XVI. I’m not a huge FF fan and have gotten a lot less interested in turn based combat as I got older, so I really like this direction FF is heading into.
Clive and Sid’s VAs sound like 30 years older than their characters and the amount of cutscenes is quite overwhelming, but I’m invested.
I had it on my wishlist for quite some time and the reason why I finally pulled the trigger was a short 50 sec video of someone annihilating a deer with the power of god.
I just wish the combat in XVI had more depth. You kind of have to force yourself to make fights interesting (if you play lots of action games) by doing flashy stuff that’s less than optimal.
Yeah the fact that the basic 4x LMB into RMB combo is basically the only combo you can do kinda blows. The abilities do mix it up, but only a little. I hope it gets better since I’m only like 7-8 hours into the game and there’s still new stuff being added to the combat, but it does make a really bad first impression.
I still have a hearty backlog tho and I know Like A Dragon is waiting so the horizon is looking good. And I’m gonna buy Expedition 33 this Christmas sale.
