Starfield’s quality really shook them huh.

NewNewAccount,

Good or bad?

And here I am, thinking that it fits Game Pass with its “7/10, would not buy it but it’s alright if it’s on GamePass” quality games just perfectly.

NOT_RICK, w Pokémon Go now has more Pokémon than any main series game
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Too bad it’s still not fun to play

hddsx,

What’s not fun about it? I quit 3 months in because there were no pokestops in my area, really

goetzit,

Its a collectors game with nothing good to collect. This might seem like a silly take, and with 813 pokemon now in the game, it should be. But the way pokemon are laid out in this game is just horrendous.

In the main series games, you LOOK for pokemon. You might just wander around the grass for a while and take what you get, but at some point, you have a shopping list. In order to find specific pokemon, you go to a specific location. You find the pokemon you are looking for, often with others similar in type.

Well, in pokemon go, this isn’t the case at all. There are maybe 20-40 pokemon in the spawn pool at any given time. Go somewhere, ANYWHERE around you, and you are going to see more of the same. Once you have them, you wait for the next spawn rotation (sometimes thats 1 month, sometimes its 8) or events. The events are somewhere between 3 hours and 1 week long, and then you might actually have some cool shit, and the game is exciting for a bit. But after that, its back to the same old bullshit.

Now the game is just about collecting shinies. This is really what niantic has tried to monetize. The (often only) way to get them is to either hatch eggs (buying incubators) or doing raids (buying raid passes). The other way to get them is by doing certain events where they hand them out like candy. I stopped a couple years ago when i had well over 300 shinies, because there just wasn’t a point anymore. The whole “cool collectible” factor came from them being rare, if everyone gets them in events, why is it special?

ninjan,

300 different pokemon shiny or 300 shinies including dupes? While getting a shiny during an event is easy actually being committed and grind out every shiny event is crazy dedication. I can’t bother with the game because the core gameplay loop is just so incredibly boring, and as you say is nothing like Pokemon should be. I’m slowly transferring everything to Pokemon Home and in that regard it has been pretty nice in terms of getting legendaries and mythicals that are really tough in the main series games to get. I’ve never catched the original 151 before and when I combine Let’s Go Pikachu with Pokemon Go into Pokemon Home I’ll actually tick that childhood goal off, which feels nice.

goetzit,

Definitely including dupes, I got rid of tons of dupes from events but the spawn pool was so limited you were bound go get more. I was dedicated enough to grind out wild shinies, but if it was locked behind incubators or raids, forget about it.

caseyweederman,

Well, no. Rates are higher at different times of day, near bodies of water, in different weather, closer to high-foot-traffic zones, in forests, from eggs and from raids.
Not to mention continents.

Personally I just find it to be a location data collecting app with a light video game skin over top of it. I love Pokemon and wore out of the game when I realized player fun isn’t niantic’s priority in the slightest, it’s how to squeeze more and more data to sell out of the player. If it wasn’t for the blue chip IP they landed the company would be gone already. Literally every other game they’ve launched has been a flop

can,

Does anyone still play ingress?

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I’m sure some do, seems like that’s the only other one of their games with any staying power

TAG,
@TAG@lemmy.world avatar

I tried it for the first time a few months ago. It was bad. The in-game tutorial does not cover half of it and the game play that I could figure out was super shallow. I could probably look up third party getting started guides, but I did not think it was worth the bother.

can,

I don’t think I ever really understood it either lol

MimicJar,
@MimicJar@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve been playing since launch, although admittedly not much the past few weeks, and I think it’s fun depending on what you find fun.

I’ve never been big on the Battling (PvP or Raiding) but I’ve enjoyed the “Catch 'em All”.

I do however agree that even the “catch” part of the game is poorly put together. For example while the game may contain 800+ Pokemon, realistically you can only ever catch ~30 different species at a given time. If you started a new account today and did ALL the activities available, really grinding for a month, you’d probably only have ~200 or so Pokemon. If you played for a year, maybe double that.

For this reason why isn’t Pokemon HOME considered the game with the most Pokemon?

caseyweederman,

I lost a bunch of legendaries when my Pokébank subscription lapsed.
I’ve been collecting legendaries in Go for ages to rebuild my stable, and I’ve only just realized that Go legendaries don’t count until you’ve had one in the destination game. Which means that Go legendaries are totally without value in terms of collecting a first of anything.

can,

Oh damn, I forgot about Pokebank. Farewell forgotten 'mon.

caseyweederman,

Seems like a coin toss on whether or not your mons got wiped when your subscription ended.
If you can dig up a 3DS with Pokébank and whatever the intermediary app was, you might still be able to pull them all out, now that Bank (the service) is now free.

FracturedEel,

Dude pokebank is free now?

SSUPII,

Yeah, when the eShop shut down they made Bank completely free. In the app it appears as you have an extremely large number of days of trial.

Schrödinger’s Pokemon

mojo,

Pretty sure you can just reactivate your sub for like a month and get everything back to at least transfer out.

caseyweederman,

Well now it’s free forever, you just need to sideload the application itself.
Some stuff got wiped. It was never clear why it happened to some people and not others.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I lost interest in catching them all when I got to the point where the main pokemon I don’t have are behind ridiculously low egg rates. Add in the few pokemon where I’d ether have to buy plane tickets to Alaska and Greece or violate the TOS by spoofing my GPS signal and I just decided the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze

MenschlicherFehler, w It sounds like Bethesda’s Indiana Jones game will be revealed in 2024

Don’t care about Indiana Jones.

But MachineGames made some of the best FPS of the last decade… so I will at least take a look.

LameName3000, w Starfield gets low-spec PC mod for those gaming on potatoes

Reminds me of Oldblivion. It was amazing being able to play that game with a Geforce 3.

Ricaz,

It’s just poorly made (performance wise), period.

Even modern hardware struggle with that crap. The old “But will it run Crysis?” meme is even more relevant for Oblivion

This game was designed to provide the minimum of fun at a maximum cost.

All you just said was it’s designed to be a mobile game

Triple_B, w Focus Entertainment's Void Crew Under Fire for Copying Destiny 2's Pyramid Ship Design

They do look similar beyond the pyramid shape. Also, Bungie didn’t say anything about it, it was the insane fan base.

iforgotmyinstance, w Diablo 4 GM confirms “annual expansions” for the game

Too little too late. Especially for a game that went from 6 million active users to to 30k in a month.

ReadyUser31,

BG3 came out and RPG fans across the world realised what an RPG was actually meant to be. D4 is so, so shallow, it honestly did not hold my interest through the first season.

The base game content is barely interesting enough to play through, let alone playing through again from scratch with only the four quests they added to spice it up again. Drab.

ArchmageAzor, w Diablo 4 GM confirms “annual expansions” for the game
@ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world avatar

I played the demo and had a decently fun time with it. I probably would have bought it if it was like $50-$60. Of course it releases at $80 for the base version and no price drop since. Then comes the talk of the grindiness, now this. Just a bad deal all around.

GrayBackgroundMusic,

It was good at release, but it’s been mediocre at best, garbage at worst, since.

Astroturfed,

The $80 pricetage made me not even consider it. Especially when you know they’re going to milk as much cash out of you as they can for expansions/DLC or anything else.

Trine 5 and En Garde!. Both on 'Deck.

Trine 5 is more of the same, which is good as I’m pretty fond of their take on ‘the same’ and En Garde! Is a delightful little game that combines Sekiro’s combat and Fables charm.

GrayBackgroundMusic, w Diablo 4 GM confirms “annual expansions” for the game

I don’t want annual expansions. I want good ones, no matter how long they take. Stop rushing shit. I miss “soon ™” Blizzard.

ryathal,

Those people left the company. Frostgiant studios is made of most the leads from blizzard that made starcraft and warcraft.

Astroturfed,

All the blizzard leadership cut out and have started a few new studios with games in the works. Don’t expect anything but highly monetized low effort money printer sequel game from Blizzard anymore. Stop buying their shit.
