Yeah, but then people are going to bring up the creepy “recreated a female engineer as a romantic partner without telling her” episode.

*Reading headline*

Finally! I was still very confused on this question.

I guess I should clarify what I mean:

I’m not looking for Game of Pokethrones (the first 4 seasons anyways)

I just want to know what is used to as the agent that drives the gameplay loop.

Also, I agree with most of you post, except the word “should”. 

I guess I just need more than “You can run around a giant empty map to find the pokemon you want to catch, then catch it.” Then again, I am *very* much a theme park gamer and not a sandbox gamer, and I absolutely appreciate that there are a ton of sandbox gamers out there who would disagree.

Here’s the question I *have* to ask, and everyone should have asked with No Man’s Sky before launch:

“What do you do?” What is the gameplay loop? Catching Pokemon is fine and all, but what motivates you to keep playing?

Is there a story? Does it drive the goals? Are there quests? Or is it just “catch em all”?
How does it…

And further, there’s actually thousands of different Wikipedia pages about the same topic, but when a user goes to wikipedia, they are only shown content that is on at least 50% + 1 of wikipedia pages

Right, but Dan literally *was* one of those people grouping to beat Rustemeyer’s times so he couldn’t get 32/32, so it’s hypocritical for him to now use a strat to work against that.

Pick any software engineering firm, and QA is probably the shittiest place to work.

Acknowledging that the left has a unique tendency to eat it’s own over the heresy of small differences doesn’t make one right wing. It’s showing basic awareness.

Acknowledging the identitarians actively look for reasons to cannibalize their own doesn’t make one right wing.

The Woker has becomed the woked

Not exactly.

Also, it’s a fundamentally multiplayer game. The problem with games as a service is there are taking games that really fit the single player mold better and forcing multiplayer endgame grindfests with convenient lootboxes to circumvent the grindfest. There was a period they were apparently pushing Dragon…

No two words have buttfucked the triple-a gaming industry more than “Live Service”

Even EA has backpedaled from it after, shock of all shocks, a single player game with no microtransactions (Star Wars Fallen Order) made them fuck tons of money.

At least they realized their error in time to hopefully salvage Dragon Age 4

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

Hey look everyone, the “hot take” parade is in town! And here comes the grand marshall now! Will he say the guy is a horrible father for publicizing his daughter missing for several days? Or will he say the father should have done more to find his daughter? If his daughter is safe, will be blame the father for always…

Also, Gamestop pro members are more likely to buy used PS5 games, which has a higher profit margin for Gamestop, so it makes basic business sense.

For the note: I like Game Informer magazine and I buy almost exclusively used games for console.

Also I got my PS5 today

Closer to dead than you’ve ever been.

A bad guy finds a magic ball. Then you run around killing skeletons for 40 hours. Then the bad guy’s magic ball breaks. AND OMG THE MAGIC BALL BELONGED TO YOUR FRIEND THE WHOLE TIME.

This is basically the plot of the vanilla game. There’s significantly more meaningful plot progression in Trespasser than in Inquisition.…

Allow me to respond:

*ahem*

*cough*

Okay
