mind the walrus posted:Those are for 25-35 year-old yuppies who remember Pokemon as children, just spat out their first crotch-goblin, to get them to keep some Pokemon poo poo around the house so when little Sam and Suzy are older they're primed to recognize it as a brand. The products themselves are deliberately stripped-down, unchallenging piddle that a new parent could conceivably pop on a few times in a sleep-deprived haze and still win a round or two. They're not a celebration of you, the 30-something who is on Generation 8 and still hasn't picked up on the fact that Pokemon doesn't and never did care about you playing past the age when you were supposed to start having sex. this may be the case in america but in japan they have entire fashion lines where they hire world-famous designers to make outrageously priced clothes that are barely tangentially themed on such-and-such pokemon. life-long consumer retention is majorly a thing there e: and pokemon is just the tip of the iceberg. japanese corpos have extensive experience in this field. all their IPs that existed before you or i were born, they're still going and all the aging boomers and even the ancient great grandparents are still buying doraemon products. the mouse? poo poo, disney has wet dreams about what japan pulls off on a daily basis. it's very ozymandias. pokemon will outlive us all Fur20 fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Jun 18, 2019 |

Brand retention from using the name on expensive fashion isn't the same as "buys, plays, and expects much from mainline Pokemon games."

I just picked up this game on sale so sorry for the Old rear end Hot Take, but Darkest Dungeon got repetitive real fast and it's not really giving me any incentive to keep progressing.

That's about right. I had a lot of fun until I found myself with a bunch of Level 3-4 parties and nothing about the exploration/combat had evolved from the beginning, then I put it down and 100% forgot about it until you posted.

Yup that's exactly where I'm at. gently caress grinding for 30 minutes to get enough resources to set yourself up for another 30 minute grind plus a couple marginal stat improvements for one of your characters who might die and lose it all.

Plus I kept finding myself saying "I'll work through this adventure with a party I don't really like so I can play as the fun comp next time" and eventually realized there was no fun comp.

If there is one game I don't get it's Darkest Dungeon. I bought it the day it came out because it sounded really cool and there wasn't a single thing I liked about. The gameplay just felt totally boring and I don't like the art either.

The gameplay just felt totally boring and I don't like the art either. The art is a direct take on Mike Mignola's Hellboy. It's very distinctive and works well for its medium. The exact gameplay mechanics of Darkest Dungeon are probably contentious, but the game is undoubtedly carried by its excellent atmosphere, of which the voice acting and artwork contribute a lot. I still have a save file somewhere with a large pile of maxed out guys, but I honestly couldn't be bothered finishing the game. Too much grind.

I really enjoy Wizardry 1 and the DS game The Dark Spire, but any other game that says its dungeon crawling bores me. I tried to get into Legend of Grimrock but I hate the combat. When I first heard about Darkest Dungeon it sounded cool but I watched someone play it. Its not really dungeon crawling even if its cribs off of the edge of town type mechanics.

IIRC I chose between buying Darkest Dungeon and Slay the Spire, and it sounds like I chose wisely (Slay the Spire owns)Vakal posted:I almost quit playing the first time since the enemies with shields were so annoying and so un-Doom like. Hollow Knight is really bad for this. The first hour or so is so boring that I actually stopped playing and didn't start it again for like, 6 months.

Darkest Dungeon is one of those games where you figure out the formula 10% through but the game expects you to put in 100 more hours of just repeating the same cycle for some reason.

The one positive thing about how slow Hollow Knight starts is it made me take in how gosh-darned pretty the game looked, so there is that I guess.steinrokkan posted:Darkest Dungeon is one of those games where you figure out the formula 10% through but the game expects you to put in 100 more hours of just repeating the same cycle for some reason. Eh, Slay the Spire's "advanced" strategies are pretty obvious after about an hour or so's worth of runs, but somehow it's still engaging after a few dozen hours.

I don't remember them feeling that out of place/annoying, but I basically spent my teenage years playing Halo and those guys are definitely inspired by the Jackals there (right down to the hole in the shield leaves their arm and head exposed for no reason). IIRC the only other enemies in that area are the zombies, do I guess the shield guys are supposed to remind you that you're supposed to strafe and jump around in this game. DOOM owns.

food court bailiff posted:i always thought they were super cool but i really only played 4 and origins where they're pretty unobtrusive if you don't like them Modern series tend to age much more poorly than old game series, I think because there's so much more "we specifically fixed this thing that people hated in the last game." It's much easier to play Super Mario World, then go and enjoy SMB1, say, than it is to play the newest rear end Creed game and then go and try to enjoy the first few, for example.
