Blue's Champion theme from R/B still gives me chills. The Mystery Dungeon games have some great music. I can't recall much from the main games after G2.

On the Pokemon music note, I really dug what they did with the critical health beep in Black/White, and they need to do more of that in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLVr0VfeLmk And the gym leader's last pokemon theme made me way happier than it probably should have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9PsOUyH2fs

No Pokemon route track has ever eclipsed RS's 113. Even the remake couldn't improve it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfARFF9S5Jg MikeJF posted:It just seems so... obvious? I thought the same about a Tiny Chao Garden Mobile port, but I guess Obvious and Highly Profitable aren't enough sometimes.

SpaceCadetBob posted:Not really finding much compelling gameplay with masters so far. I like the concept of collecting the characters rather than mons (and liked the World Tournament in gen 5 for the same reason, it tickles some deep primitive part of my brain that wants to put all the different action figures in the same playset). There's a pretty impressive amount of writing to carry this idea and I could even believe some of the people involved in the writing actually cared, for all that it's not deep or serious at all. It could have got away with having the familiar characters not comment on anything and driving the plot with bland OC's, and I'll credit it not doing that. Unfortunately the gameplay seems designed exclusively to get you pulling the gatcha and nothing else. It doesn't even try to support a general population of regular uses for the whales to show off to, if you're not spending money on powering up you're not going to get anything out of it, and if you are all you're not actually going to enjoy the gameplay because it's already finished what it set out to do. I feel like I could make a better game of this same concept with a copy of RPG maker and a few hours, and that's pretty sad.

I’ve played the poo poo out of fire emblem heroes, and whaled from time to time, so I should be like the target audience for this game. But everything feels so obscured compared to FEH. Maybe if they add in TMs so I could customize a bit of moves on my team.

But everything feels so obscured compared to FEH. The main thing to me is that it’s so expensive to do a full summon. A FEH full summon is half the characters (5) but it only costs 20 orbs which is very easy to earn. Also there’s no distinction between paid and free currency. At least Dragalia names the paid vs free summoning currency different things. So basically I spent a few hours on this game last night and have no even touched the gambling aspect yet, which isn’t great from a “trying to hook people” perspective.

Next thing that is really annoying me is there is no level marking system to tell you if you are even close to completing a battle. They give you a team power score, but nothing to compare it to. Its hella annoying to go into a training match and just get wrecked. The game really is nice to look at, but the gameplay is opaque as hell. gently caress why didn’t they just give this game another month of development.

SpaceCadetBob posted:gently caress why didn’t they just give this game another month of development. Because that would have just resulted in a third tier of gems called purchased purchased gems. They let you buy trainer packs with two guaranteed 5 star trainers. You get them by buying gems with your purchased gems at a rate of 2 purchased to 1 purchased purchased. The pack still costs 3k purchased purchased gems though.

The last gacha game I played was Puzzle & Dragons, which handed out currency like candy and is also very old (as far as these things go, anyway). Is the two tiers of premium currency thing unique to this game, or is it a standard part of the bullshit of these games these days?

I am curious what Pokémon he gets though. He had Charizard in the trailer, but Leon(champion from Sw/Sh) also seems to have Charizard as his ace. Maybe they just both have Charizard but Red’s can mega evo and Leon’s can gigantomax?

Interestingly, the scene with Copycat in RBY makes clear that Red isn't literally mute. (There's also all the times where the player has to choose Yes or No, but if not for the Copycat scene you could argue that Red is just nodding or shaking his head.)

Pretty disappointed with Pokemon Masters. I was playing it since the soft launch and the changes they made for the global release bums me out. Increasing the number of evolution stones needed increases the need to grind a lot. The cheap evolution stones they give you are a one time thing, the normal price for them is way higher. Since player accounts weren't reset from the soft launch that's an even more significant head start for the soft launch players. Also the premium currency flow is terrible. What they give you for the launch isn't enough for a x10 pull, and without the event currency over the course of a month (through daily missions and weekly logins) you get over half of what you need to do a x10 pull. And to top it off normal x10 pulls don't have any guarantees, you have to use paid gems to do a x10 pull that guarantees a 5 star character.

Compare this again to Dragalia, where a 10x pull costs half as much and you get at least a guaranteed 4* with it. And once again with FEH, it costs 20 orbs to do a 5x pull, and you get over 100 orbs a month. No guaranteed rarity but there’s also no premium premium currency and the only reason there’s a distinction between free vs paid orbs is that you can’t use orbs you paid for on an iOS device on an Android device and vis versa.
