Who'd have guessed it, Niantic hosed up their Chicago Pokemon Go event. People there couldn't play, the game crashed nonstop, none of the specials could be unlocked. At the end, as the final kick in the teeth, Niantic told everyone to go home because everything was done, they'd get a refund, etc....and then they flooded the park with the special legendary raids. Last I heard spoofers are picking up 20+ each of the special raid Pokemon because gently caress it, Niantic isn't gonna stop them, they're trying not to get more water bottles thrown on stage and call the riot police. They shot both feet with this one.

I love it when people just throw together big events and it all falls to poo poo. Speaking of Dumb Marketing: Evidently this whole thing with Phelps racing a shark is blowing up because they used a CGI shark. Johnny Aztec has a new favorite as of 02:48 on Jul 24, 2017 |

Pokémon Go is remarkable in that it basically changed how society functioned for like a month, then everyone realized the game was bad and dropped off. At least it got the brand awareness up in time for Sun and Moon, so it's still a win as far as Nintendo's concerned.

Have you ever wished your mortgage company were a bit more... personal? Someone who really looked out for you? Someone you felt like you could hang with? Well you're in luck -- NationStar Mortgage has rebranded itself as... Mr. Cooper. https://www.housingwire.com/articles/40016-its-official-nationstar-will-become-mr-cooper-in-august-2017 quote:While Mr. Cooper may seem like an “out of left field” option for a mortgage company, Nationstar said that the idea is to personalize the mortgage experience from origination all the way through servicing.

Yeah, it was fun to find Pokémon in weird situations for a couple of months but if I wanted to do anything other than collect I had to deal with a) there being way too many people playing seriously in the city and b) vastly inferior gameplay to actual Pokémon games.

It just got me playing emulators. It was honestly bizarre how bad the game was. There was this whole system for catching Pokémon and levelling them up and so on and then you just... did nothing with them, except the gym battles which were completely awful. And yeah, since you could just zerg rush stuff those down, anywhere with a large number of people playing would end up changing constantly anyway. I don't know whether it was part of the licensing preventing "real" Pokémon battles or inability to execute it or what, but after the first couple of weeks of catching 'mons at the bus stop there was nothing left to do unless you wanted to traipse all over the city staring at your phone in case something rare appeared. e: Just realised this whole post was in the past tense about a game that still exists, which is either me being lazy or a sign of how dead Go is.

My Pokémon GO story is that a friend of mine almost walked into traffic trying to get into range of a nearby thing he wanted to catch. People had to physically pull him backward to keep him from walking in front of a car. I played it for about a week or 2 myself, but caught my favorite Pokémon within the first week, and found out that leveling up was either a long slog or would cost money, and either way was ultimately pointless because there was no real way to battle them. There was a time I was driving with a friend of mine who was playing it in the passenger seat, and he noticed there was a bait laid at a nearby stop. I decided we'd head there, park for a bit, try and catch what was there, then move on. As we got there, somebody stopped dead in front of us, weaved back and forth in the road, and then finally pulled over to park. We looked in, and saw 4 people with their phones out, and assumed they were also playing. We turn the corner to find more parking, and almost hit a guy who is driving smack in the middle of a 2-way street and nearly blows a stop sign. We look in, and there's again 4 people looking down at their phones. We finally get the thing that was lured there, and as we're driving away, we just see swarms of teens moving toward this bait point staring down at their phones. That's about the time that I decided to stop playing.

I occasionally turn on Go when I'm like, walking through the nearby city (I live in a very rural town...good luck finding anything good there) and I've had the game since day one, and haven't joined a team. Eff that crap. I like to say to others I'm Team Rocket when they ask, but considering I'm not even doing the gym/raid stuff due to no team, there's even less reason to be hooked on it for me.

It has really similar gameplay to its predecessor, Ingress (and one might argue deeper gameplay, since Ingress doesn't have battling), but I think the problem it encountered was the ridiculous popularity. Ingress has a fraction of the players that Pokemon Go had when it first launched, so there was basically no option other than sudden and violent collapse of their servers. They also pushed the game out so fast that it was lacking in major features, like trading Pokemon.

I don't really have a problem with Pokemon Go (which I've never played nor had a desire to play) itself, but I got really disgusted with Go players who tried to argue that they were perfectly justified in tromping through the Holocaust museum in search of a Pokemon. The game wasn't as bad as the fact that some of its players had no respect for their surroundings.

My girlfriends gender neutral sibling tried to talk her into going through this one graveyard near us because it had like 20 pokestops in it. They didn't see a problem with that at all. Thankfully the girlfriend has enough common sense to know somethings are just a hard no.

For clarity; I mean playing a game at the holocaust museum is obviously in bad taste, but playing it through a graveyard is surely not materially different from just taking a walk through the graveyard?
