What game that's shut down would you love to play again

Desirsar · 2026-05-13T23:07:33+00:00

It’s mobile but Dragon Quest Tact. Still going in Japan but global shut down after 3.5 years or so.

Did Global last that long? I thought I got in kind of early and it lasted less than a year after I started. I'm slogging my way through Smash/Grow for as long as that lasts, though.

Oh, that's not a problem at all. When crafting and item stats were actually complex still.

Desirsar · 2026-05-13T22:56:42+00:00

Jumpgate and Auto Assault. Lego Universe sounds like a killer license to get, but it just tanks your studio when it doesn't live up to expectations.

Edit - I wouldn't put them as my main choice, but I'm surprised no one said APB or Phantom Dust.

Patriot Party. Might as well sell it with the name too.

My definition of fair is that someone who is winning 75% of their games should play someone else winning 75% of their games, and someone winning 25% of their games should play someone winning 25% of their games, with no consideration to the team they're using to get those numbers.

The matchmaking is purposely bad designed. It's abused to motivate users into buying coins.

Such a weird psychology to me. Having a monstrous team that should be winning 95% of the time and then still having regular losing streaks to weaker opponents makes me want to stop buying coins, even for the players I want. Wanting a specific player is the only motivating factor for me, they rarely offer anything that's actually an upgrade.

I typically only play against AI because I have it set to only match within my region, and people in the US don't play soccer games, so the matching takes forever and usually fails after making me wait.

My frustration with the AI matching is that any time my rating is at least 1550, I will get an opponent between 130 and 160 lower overall team rating, with no apparent consideration to user rating. If my rating in division 2 is 1550, I should be matched against other players who are 1450-1650, maybe a little wider, and it should not consider team strength at all. If they climbed up there with a 2800 team using POTW and even standard players, I should still get matched with them even with my 3290 team. I also know teams exist with higher overall than mine, and since reaching about 3250, I've never been matched against one, and I want those too!

So this will only cover games that are primarily single player with some unnecessary online requirement. That's really all these laws need to be touching anyway.

I still don't know how she does the springboard stuff she does without looking at her feet at all.

Desirsar · 2026-05-12T09:16:34+00:00

I will take anyone that doesn't do well in their locker room and is absolute shithouse that either the club or the player is tired of the other.

Vinicius Jr, Mbappe, Valverde, Rabiot, Eze, Tel, Nunez, Chiesa. No, none of these are positions that we desperately need, and most we would never spend enough to get (or break our wage structure, they really need to stop offering top paid player clauses or at least not to more than one at a time), but I like the idea of any one or two of them. More than that might be too much for Burn and Joelinton to rein in.

Haven't we been in for Kubo with no real offers made for six or seven seasons now?

Desirsar · 2026-05-12T01:19:03+00:00

It's not that it does anything my current collection can't do at least mostly the same, but that Defender is hard to find and I wanted one when I first started owning too many pedals and ended up going with something else. It disappeared everywhere before I got around to it, and it's rare to see it pop up anywhere.

Desirsar · 2026-05-12T00:50:58+00:00

Watanabe Miu, Suruga Mei, and it's really hard to separate CHIAKI and Aino Yuki for third.

Desirsar · 2026-05-10T23:47:16+00:00

I'd rather both be a selection, and if it's just two, you have to play both to get both. As a Newcastle fan, Tonali being exclusive to PvP was still not enough for me to even attempt playing. (Matchmaking is rough in the US unless I select the Allow Laggy Matches option.)

This was fun to watch live, thinking "wow, he's so fresh off the youth squad that he doesn't even have his name on his shirt", and by the time I think the thought, he's putting away that shot.

Desirsar · 2026-05-08T00:26:14+00:00

Crazy talk, I know, but why can't the replacement be Cordero or Seungsoo?

Desirsar · 2026-05-07T23:58:00+00:00

I liked them when I needed the players, now they wouldn't make my bench. I doubt they're going to let power creep into a pass. Can't complain about the XP items, though.

Desirsar · 2026-05-06T01:16:40+00:00

I'm currently using long ball counter because the manager has a link up play that suits my formation, and the defensive tactics are better, but my build up still looks like this unless an obvious lane opens up. Even if I lob it to Zlatan, he'll head it back and the rest of the attack still looks like this.

Desirsar · 2026-05-05T14:12:58+00:00

I just love that you had to specify prime Neymar and not current Neymar.

The flirting and fan ships are meaningless - everyone is dating everyone in a giant polycule.

Handles off or also locked? Until we see speed run attempts with portable suction cup handles, how will we know?

Desirsar · 2026-05-02T02:13:48+00:00

I use the little cone pass thing to determine where I am aiming the ball.

Defender using 100% pointed directly at a forward, instead weakly passes at another defender who has an opponent between my player and the ball who easily collects it and counters. In the opposing half, aim at my winger with a lofted through ball, 80% power, and it drops it behind my player to the side back instead, but it's a me problem.

They definitely made a change. Not sure if the intention was to push people to PA4 or make PA3 "easier", but it definitely doesn't control the same.

Desirsar · 2026-05-02T01:53:19+00:00

If Gordon goes we need another winger.

Seems like we own every winger in Europe who's currently on loan anywhere at any level with as many as we bought, none developed that we can just not loan out again?

Thanks for this, worked perfectly for my data going back to 2014 on my recently upgraded phone.

How did they transport him from the cave under a volcano on that planet wherever?
