As somebody who still fucks around with this from time to time, I think it's hilarious that they hosed this all to pieces. There's a 2000+ strong (strong is being used incredibly loosely here, folks) population that's dedicated enough to run around in discord and facebook groups around here because we get a lot of pokemon nests for being a pretty small town, have a huge amount of raids constantly going off, and have a ton of pokestops downtown, so it never really died around here. And what the gently caress else are you going to do in the Augusta/Aiken area? Everything to do is outrageous expensive. At least this is free.

At one point it seemed like everyone in the world was playing or talking about this game. The company that made it must've been making millions on a daily basis. Despite this, and for reasons I'll never fathom, they left the game to languish and rot for several weeks, even going as far as to actually remove basic functionality like actually being able to find Pokemon in a game about finding Pokemon. It's hard to imagine a company loving up a sure thing so badly, but here we are.

Nintendo just keeps loving up with Pokemon Go, lmao Having said that, me and my five-year old play it when it's warm outside. It's fun at times. Zorodius posted:You don't really do Pokemon stuff in the game, right? Like you catch Pokemon but don't manage them through fights? You can fight them against Pokemon left in gyms possessed by other teams. You used to be able to train by fighting against your own team's guys in gyms, too, but they removed that for some reason. The fighting is very one-sided, since the Pokemon in the gyms are controlled by AI and don't dodge attacks. You basically just tap on them while using a Pokemon that hurts them super effectively until they fall over, and dodge their big attacks. You can't fight one on one, can't trade, there's no capitalizing on the multiplayer aspect aside from raids, where 1-20 people are needed to fight some rare Pokemon for XP and spiffy berries and the chance to catch the Pokemon after fighting it. The game is basically just randomly running around, trying to find anything besides the ten basic Pokemon that are everywhere, people forever kicking each other out of gyms, and slowly grinding enough candy to evolve / power up whatever you happen to have stumbled across. It's not the worst, but it could be a lot better.

I would say they should go to portillos while in Chicago, but they'd probably order a dog pain and put some ketchup on it. Hell, they'd probably order an Italian beef but complain about it being soggy

MY PALE GOTH SKIN posted:Nintendo just keeps loving up with Pokemon Go, lmao It is kind of amazing that they took a series all about walking around and catching critters to then go make fight vs the critters of others in a fairly simple turn based RPG combat with enough tactical decisions that is has become a beloved format for RPG junkies and made a game where you don't do that at all. Instead it's some kind of furious tapping minigame you plow through by grinding. Like, wow, it's impressive that they missed the mark by that much.

Instead it's some kind of furious tapping minigame you plow through by grinding. It is. I'm just old enough that I didn't get into Pokemon back when it first became big, but I checked out some of the games after initially enjoying the "track down and hoard weird creatures" aspect. The turn-based system is much better, IMO. And it's not like you can just stroll by a gym and beat it without stopping, so the "it's a game where you walk!" aspect doesn't excuse the crap fighting mechanics. It can take 10-15 minutes to clear out a gym full of high-level Pokemon with full or near-full health. Each Pokemon has to be knocked out three times before it's kicked out of a gym unless someone else has already whooped it fairly hard, and each gym can hold up to six Pokemon. I dunno. You can also shove berries down the throats of your Pokemon while someone is attacking one of your gyms, but since you get way more potions from Pokestops than berries, and the berries have other uses, it's not really a good strategy. Waiting until the weird neckbeard dude with the loud flappy sandals trudges back to his mom's house and then taking the gun back is a better strategy.

Nintendo doesn't make Pokemon Go, it's outsourced to a phone game company who appears to be barely competent at best. It's basically a Pokemon-themed scavenger hunt for people who think actual Pokemon games are for kids and nerds.

Niantic did pretty good with their old version of this game, Ingress. But it was also incredibly low tech and did still have occasional issues where a point wouldn't respond or wouldn't update properly or whatever.

I mean drat, if you're putting that much effort into sim scavenger hunt just buy the real Pokemon made by real game developers, you can explore virtual Hawaii and pat your Pokemon on the head. Phone games are like the worst of all worlds.

Inescapable Duck posted:Phone games are like the worst of all worlds. It's true. The only reason these things (tablet and cellphone games) are still being made is that they stimulate the same emotional responses as gambling and developers know that they can get any number of people to drop money like kids used to at the arcade on something that took an artist and developer three days and next to no money to make.
