Most turn based RPGs would be better played at 125% to 150% speed. I’m trying it with Pokémon Ultra Moon, having slugged through Pokémon Moon on my 2DS, and god it’s so much more tolerable. Too many games are bogged down with slow animation and text.

i mean, i played the first two pokemon games, but then when i got a little older i moved on because they are too easy and slow once you are older than maybe 12

the games are slow because kids are slower to understand and read things and thats the target audience, stop getting butthurt old men

I think you mean Japanese games because I don't think I've ever had this problem with the majority of turn-based games, only Japanese ones because Japanese developers haven't invented playability yet.

I recall a goon managed to speed up Diamond/Pearl's gameplay significantly by trimming letters in battle dialogue. Platinum in particular was considerably faster than what's considered the slowest Pokemon games in the series.

There’s actually a lot of depth and chess-like decision making in competitive Pokémon that I think often gets overlooked. The base game is mainly a slog but the competitive aspect seems pretty neat. I watch PokeMonday Night Combat and I had no clue that there was so much meta gaming involved.

Rage was an amazing engine and fantastic gameplay hampered by shallow repetitive level design and a weak-rear end story. Game came out 8 years ago and still looks and plays better than most other FPSes since. Rage 2 is going to be loving awesome.

Rage 2 is a recycled Mad Max open world game by a different developer. It has pretty much nothing to do with Rage 1 (which is a positive in my book, considering how terrible Rage 1 was).

So many loving video games are imitations of imitations of imitations of what the devs actually want to be making but don't have the license to

I mean Rage 1 was basically a Mad Max open world game, just the world was tiny. All they need to do is make the map bigger and move the gunfighting from "5 recycled corridor levels oh but now do them BACKWARDS!" to the entire map and they've got a great game.


Mad Max was also a severely underrated game, if you haven't played it.

Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.

If you came in expecting or being pleasantly surprised about it being Tenchu, it's like a 8.5. If you wanted Souls-games it's barely a 7. It feels so barebones with so little opportunity for customization.

The jump stealth-kill on the dogs looks mad retarded too. Let me willingly roll on the ground with this animal whose weapons are all in its face when I could just jump down and stab it through the back. Feels lazy and recycled.

If you've got a boner for parrying/deflecting/timing based stuff then Sekiro is definitely for you. Be sure to bolster your L1 button because you will be spamming it.

It does own but Sekiro and Nioh are very different games and they do different things well that the other game doesn't even touch

Like if you think Sekiro makes Nioh look like trash, you just didn't like what Nioh was to begin with imo

Nioh has really great combat, but the most annoying loot system ever and it starts to feel way too copy/paste after a while. Also it never sat well with me just how much they ripped off Dark Souls. I think they could have done more to make it stand out as their own thing.
