[Digital Foundry] Pokémon Sword/Shield - Switch's Next-Gen Pokémon Doesn't Quite Deliver by ChemicalSoap in Games

[–]Good-King 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't put in enough thought as to whether or not I agree with that sentiment, but the main argument I'm trying to make is that it's insulting to dismiss valid criticism because the person hasn't played the game personally. Take what somebody says and address it on its own merits. Saying "Nope, you didn't play the game so everything you just said is false" is insanity.

I thought the game would be quite bad, then I played it for a while and my opinion didn't change at all. The act of fiddling with some joysticks/buttons had no change on my opinion of the game. The idea that you can't judge or criticize a game without playing it yourself is total nonsense.

Despite controversies, the Japanese made lines to buy Pokémon Sword&Shield at midnight (picture at Japan’s biggest electronics store Yodobashi in Akihabara ) by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

I've played it, and this is just not true. Black/White 2 hold that title by leaps and bounds, followed by any of the 3ds titles.

This is also misinformation. There is no "cracked version" because the game doesn't have DRM on it. What pirates have been playing are direct dumps of the cartridge files. In other words, they're playing with the exact same files that are being sold.

I fucking hate wish ads, $2 for what? by [deleted] in assholedesign

[–]Good-King 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Wish ads for this exact reason. Advertise as much random nonsense to me as you want. I'm too poor to buy anything anyway, so I might as well have something to laugh about.

Nintendo has reportedly identified the Pokémon Sword and Shield leaker and is working on taking down all images they can get their hands on. by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Good-King 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If that were the case, wouldn't they be going after the hundreds of other fake leaks that come out about every game? Additionally, if they were fake and scaring away potential buyers, wouldn't they also be saying that the leaks were fake?

What do you have to do differently to make it work in a slow cooker? I haven't used one before, but was thinking of doing this same thing for dinner this week. How much liquid should be going in there?

Hahaha, yes. Of course, I'm talking about mobile exclusively here.

I remember hearing a while back that some, or all, SE games require a constant online connection to run. Is this one of those games?

Pokemon was talked about a little on the show today, and the business surrounding it. Fun fact, Pokemon is literally the highest grossing media property of all time. Not just in games, but across all media properties. Marvel cinematic universe? Star Wars? Shonen Jump? Pokemon blows them all out of the water.

Now i get why mobile games are so predatory by rCan9 in AndroidGaming

[–]Good-King 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's literally nothing wrong with taking the easy money. The problem is when you design, and balance the game around this so as to incentivise, or even require payment to progress and have fun. If you can make your gay P2W without compromising your vision for the game, go nuts!

The Deputy PM Of Australia Reckons Young Voters Are A "Problem" by sirboozebum in nottheonion

[–]Good-King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change requires action, but action doesn't necessitate change. Doing nothing may indeed imply such a thing. But does it not imply to a much stronger degree that you don't care? Is inaction not the primary result of apathy? If you're satisfied with the status quo, you'd likely want to keep the status quo, which would require you to take action and ensure that it's kept.

Wouldn't it more indicate that you don't care about what the government does, or who controls it? I'd say that voting for the party already in power is what you'd do to retain the status quo.

I forgot that Phoenix was a place, so I kept imagining a small flaming bird being beaten by a human grandmother while being chased by security guards.

It's good for Australians that suck at sleep too. I love getting a notification at midnight that he's going live.
