Caesar Saladin posted:its a game for little children, the idea is to play the most relevant game when you are 8, and then move on to other games, and not to follow the series well into your twenties like half the internet seems to When I was I kid (11-12), I played the hell out of Red, then Yellow, and a little of Stadium 64 1. I tried out the second gen on an emulator, and said "you know what, screw this poo poo" and never played pokemon again. Of course, I never had any friends to trade and battle with ever, so that might have influenced my decision.

Vegetable posted:The worst part about Pokemon is how hard it is to catch interesting Pokemon. So many are left to late-game or even post-game. God forbid you spread things out or allow an area to have more like six or seven catchables. you can use a program to scramble the pokemon locations in every game (including starter pokemon). so you might find that level 1 Clefairy you always wanted right outside of town: http://pokehacks.dabomstew.com/randomizer/

I'm kind of pissed I got a bunch of free games through PS+ because literally ALL the games I have bought for my PS4 I have gotten for free like a year later.

Blazing Ownager posted:Nothing and I mean NOTHING compares to the current state of Grand Theft Auto: Online. The cheating is more rampant and frequent there than it was in Diablo 1 when they started selling cheats in the loving Wal-Mart. On PC it's a sometimes unplayable experience where every single server has at minimum a single cheater. I've seen this posted before, but I've literally never seen any one I'd even suspect of cheating in 40+ hours of online play. Maybe I'm just really lucky?

Suddenly they all became free last year and this year. it's a stupid thing to complain about, but I'm just sitting here like "drat, I could have saved myself like 200 bucks."

You got to play games when you wanted to instead of waiting around to see if they'll go free sometime before you die. You could probably find a free copy of Madden 07 in a trash can somewhere right now. it doesn't make it the optimal way to play it. If I want a game idgaf I'll just buy it and if it means I got to play it when I had peak interest instead of waiting around for eons so I could pinch pennies oh well.

blizzard has had a lame rear end attitude to smack talk since world of warcraft. it changes loving nothing, as people are more likely to be horrible to their own team mates and the natural hostility of being placed against someone in a team game is incidental to where the real abuse happens

basic hitler posted:blizzard is a poo poo company and they can polish a diamond into sand. This is well put. They come up with awesome ideas, then keep streamlining them away until there's nothing exciting left. They're more worried about avoiding mistakes than landing successes. The result is smooth but completely dull.

Really the problem is designing a competitive game where--after a certain threshold--victory can be determined extremely early on by one or two unforced errors. It's the exact same problem I used to have when I played L4D2 competitive ~~seriously~~. Sometimes I'd be on the receiving end where I missed a jump as a jockey or w/e and allowed the enemy to roll our infected on the first spawn and thus build momentum that carried them through the level, and it sucked. Other times I'd be watching someone else whiff a hunter jump or utterly fail to stay with us as survivors and blow the first round, and it sucked. In the end the problem was with the design of the game, and made me stop playing even though competitive was a blast "when it was fun." MOBAs really need a square-one overhaul if they're ever going to shed that deserved reputation.

I've never felt that a "competitive" element added to the game. Especially games like L4D where the only reward for getting higher score in multiplayer is, well, getting a higher score. It was silly fun through and through, I think I still have the whole No Mercy layout memorized despite having not played since 2013 or so.

There are still assholes and poor performers but the way it works is pretty much if you're good you get some degree of respect. Fighting games are meritocracy and I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

Games where your experience is so reliant on other people performing is guaranteed to be toxic, for now and for always. MOBAs are a special brand of competitive team game where you can personally play well and still get stomped because of somebody else's mistakes, and that makes people very angry. If that wasn't enough, there's also competition for certain roles in the game, and you're reliant on people picking lineups that have synergy. It's designed from the ground up to make you vulnerable to other people playing ball, and when you're with internet strangers that is guaranteed to not happen consistently.
