Yeah I think that’s my problem is I had aged out of the original stuff when it came out and just never got into it.

It's my birthday and I just got my rockband controller and dongle so I can play the game again on my PS4. Good day. Also my wife made me a huge cookie and homemade calzone.

Pokemon is cool and interesting. They are childrens games so it is very simple to beat the game without a whole heap of thought into strategy - if you level your guys enough and put just the most basic consideration into type advantages then you will be able to muscle your way through the game with little trouble. But if you want to navigate the deeply insane waters of competitive PvP and wish to crossbreed pokemon to have weird stats and learn weird moves and do doubles or triples battles with really complex buff/debuff strats, then the game mechanics are actually complex enough to support a very deep and rewarding experience for the type of psychopath who wishes to do so.

I’ve tried playing Pokémon games (usually emulated) but I always end up choice-paralyzed and burned out by trying to catch one of ‘Em All (tm) and give them each a funny name

I'm replaying GTA San Andreas, going for 100% again (and also doing an LP of the whole thing). This game is very good, except when it's not. Zero :argh:

Just a couple of San Fierro missions to go and the rest of the map will be unlocked.

I heard that a lot of the digital versions of the game got music patched out and the graphics downgraded somewhat for some reason? They better not have touched K-Rose! :argh:

The rereleases based on the mobile port suck in all kinds of exciting ways:

They also hosed with the Steam version to remove various songs from the radio and break a few other things, but at least that can be fixed with mods. I'm playing the original PS2 disc release so I'm getting the full original San Andreas experience, which of course means some missions (*cough* Supply Lines) are more bullshit than usual.

Yeah remastered is all I have played unfortunately. I did beat the train mission in one try so I felt like a god, but the radio is hosed up and skips and repeats a ton.

In the original release, the plane uses fuel even when you're not touching the accelerator. You have just enough fuel to get you through the mission as long as you kill everyone as quickly as possible, which means flying to the targets in the straightest possible line and never missing your shots. They fixed it in the later releases so it's a lot more forgiving.

Took me six attempts on this playthrough, so it could've been worse.
