recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

I'll probably get roasted for this but.. Pokemon. It just seems like endless copy/paste and might be one of the laziest game franchises I've ever seen. I've really tried to get into them. I was there when the Pokemon cartoon started, I saw it rise to the phenomenon it is today, but damn if it isn't the most boring grindfest ever.

it doesnt just feel like copy paste, thats quite literally what they are doing, there is plenty of evidence online to show that they do but hey, if you can make whatever low effort thing you want and people still buy it why bother trying?

There's no problem with copy/paste, games do that all the time (look at portal, most of that game is reused half life 2 assets). I think the problem is that they're just not doing anything interesting with the games. If the games were good it shouldn't matter if the Pikachu model is reused or made from scratch.

I do agree that it’s the same thing recycled over and over.

If anyone does want to play them again, I highly recommend emulating them and accelerating the emulation to 2.5 or 3x speed. Makes it much more tolerable.

That's a very common complaint for the last, hell I don't even know, 20 games or whatever.

True, I'm not saying anything I haven't heard before. It's just crazy that people keep buying it thinking "Maybe this one will match the memories I had when I was 10." I guess nostalgia is a powerful drug. Even more powerful than I thought.. just looked up the Pokemon franchises worth and it's estimated at 74 billion. Now I know how boomers feel cause I just don't get it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I don't get it either. I don't even get the nostalgia aspect, there are just so many new Pokémon that I feel they completely drown out the ones I grew up with, the first like 250 iirc, I have no desire whatsoever to play the new games.

But I suppose it's still very popular with kids all around the world as well so there's that.

The pokemon fan games have been way more inventive than the mainline games for a while now. I just recently have been getting into pokemon infinite fusion and it's FANTASTIC

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I so badly want to play infinite fusion but I cant seem to get it to work, it crashes everywhere I've tried to play :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Same here, I've tried to get into pokemon so many times but I just don't get it. The games just look so lazily made too
