Yeah, it’s clearly a way to avoid people taking advantage of promotion during events; I wouldn’t call~0.4% exp decrease overall a great advantage, while for them might be a great way to force people with less time to play during events to throw money at screen, since they can’t prepare ahead of time.

I can’t speak about solidity, but I always hated GameCube controller, one of nintendo’s worst after N64.

Honestly after all those patches and opportunities to change things especially with the DLC release, my hope on seeing this game reborn from its current disastrous state are little to none.

“at least Niantic seems to be communicating more now.” Yeah, and the message seems to be “f*** you all”..... xD

This cannot be the whole truth about 3 steps, if they were working on an improved system to track pokemons, then why not leaving the old one as it was initially until the new one was ready?

I exactly felt like you about the enviroment; I liked a lot the exteriors are so immersive and beautiful when snow starts falling, the game feels more “alive” and even after 200+ hours I was still entranced by snowy Manhattan; interiors on the opposite, both subway and buildings, felt so boring and more of the same…

Fun part, if you put some demons into space segment of the campaign it would have more Doom “feel” than the new upcoming chapter of that franchise
