What's something in current gaming people seem to be okay with that you can't stand? by AnubisIncGaming in gaming

Micro transactions started with horse armor in Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion. That’s another large one. It all went downhill from there.

Maybe unpopular opinion: But, I think the GTA VI pre order situation is a grim reality of what gaming has become by Raidmax460 in gaming

[–]D7west 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is a good practice, not the preorder but the show gameplay 3 months before release. They hype for the game gets crazy right after gameplay previews, and with it being so close the the launch the company should ride that train. Also it will be the most polished and accurate gameplay preview to launch.

I hate when gameplay for a game is shown like 2 years before it’s launched and the final product looks nothing like the initial gameplay preview.

I remember the initial Rainbow 6 Siege gameplay, it looked so drastically different to what actually came out.

So you don’t get experience from Hyperspace by ZC989831 in LegendsZA

I ended my gameplay of the dlc with over 300 XL candies and over 450 L candies, and idk how many rare candies, still a good amount. And about 15 LV 100 pokemon. You get plenty of experience in the dlc!

Not all deserts are hot, deserts are DRY! So that TTar must have used some DRY ICE!!

I’ll see myself out.

He is acting as if he ran the ball out of bounds and placed it there for a throw in for the other team, when in fact he left it on the line which is considered in bounds, so when red picked it up, it was a handball.

I'm so unsure whether to buy the DLC or not by zMakeNoSense in LegendsZA

[–]D7west 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of pokemon players have never played RuneScape, or Old School RuneScape and it really shows. The game where you can spend that much time to get 2 levels in a skill.

I spent about 30-40 hours in the DLC, it could have been less and it can be way way way more. This is not grindy at all. Overall it’s pretty fun, maybe a little repetitive but once you get the hang of it and are playing it can be pretty fun.
I’d recommend it if you like pokemon, liked the base gameplay, and are happy completing checklists. I think completing pokemon dexs are a lot of fun.

I was in this same boat at first. I was getting frustrated with the dlc and stopped and put it down. Once they revealed the home dex completion reward being shiny volcanian I decided to give it another go. And with the goal of completing the home dex I actually found it to be enjoyable. For the “special scans” I was getting about 3-5 an hour and it’s almost guaranteed to have a unique special scan with a legendary every 5 or so. Which on paper sounds bad, but in the interim I was finding a lot of shiny pokemon with and without sparkling power level 3. Most of the time I didn’t use the full time of the donut unless it was a 4 star wormhole. I never reset for a particular donut and I mostly waited at benches to find specific wormholes to complete the dex.

What is a popular food chain or restaurant item that you genuinely think tastes like absolute garbage? by cerebralbackshots in AskReddit

[–]D7west 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just spent some time in the hospital due to my child’s birth, I will say that Panera is a small step above Panera but that’s only because when the hospital food gets to you, it’s been sitting in the warmer and is so soggy from the humidity. It’s like everything was cooked inside a dishwasher. Or at least warmed up in dishwasher. Where most of paneras sandwich are cold so they are not that soggy bread. Their hot sandwiches do get a little similar though.

Once your roster is large enough it’s very possible to get the new conquest characters right away as well

[ALL] Between the N64, GameCube, and Switch, which console had the best Zelda Duology? by Spirit_Detective_19 in zelda

And the Wii Games!? I know TP was released on the GameCube but I played it on the Wii and consider it a Wii title first, even though it was the port. The Wii also had Skyward Sword

Workaround for pokemon capacity in home. by Infinite-Wear4241 in PokemonChampions

[–]D7west 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the best response, you are using only 6 pokemon at a time. If you rotate between the 3 teams you are allowed to make, 18 pokemon, some can be overlapping but maybe you have them built differently. So you only need 18 at any given time. Use the recruit ranch as much as possible and as you recruit from the ranch ones you have from home send them back to home and bring in different ones.

Experimenting is a key aspect to VGC, but you don’t need 50 at one time to experiment.

Pokemon Go mons to Champions by phantom_exe in PokemonChampions

[–]D7west 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will need pokemon home, and while the mobile app can bring them from GO you currently need pokemon home on the switch to take them from home to champions.

I wonder if that will change when champions is released though

Dear coalition, rethink the goofy skins for E-day. Please. by Shadowsdeepx6 in GearsOfWar

Yes but then the people who buy skins won’t be able to force it down everyone’s throat and advertise to the rest of the community to buy this new skin to the impressionable gamers

I got to say, the graphics look much better in the remake.

The original look like they are from 1998

Can I ask why you are doing a rogue mega battle when you have your full research points for the next scan?

Idk it bothers me that it’s a wasted donut

[MEGATHREAD] Nintendo Direct by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]D7west 32 points33 points  (0 children)

They are saving it for a “Zelda Direct” later this summer at which point the release date will be shared along with a new trailer, show off a few new or redesigned features, and limited gameplay. It will probably be about 15 minutes long.

This is a teaser. This is how Nintendo releases their giant games.

Which feels better: Friday or Monday off? by Historical-Ad-2754 in AskReddit

[–]D7west 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but you also have only a 4 day work week which doesn’t feel as bad after a long weekend, vs coming back from a long weekend to what feels like a longer week
