I’m not convinced a game 8 years into development should even be allowed to claim they’re in “early access.” 

I think arguably, the game wants you to play it, but to do what you want with your time. And the meaning of the game is the time. Mobile games lock stuff behind time gates to get you to dump real money into the game that otherwise doesn’t need the time limits.

How can we be more like you 

The 20$ a year cloud save subscription to replace something every other piece of technology can do will be wonderful I’m sure

I wish I could recommend this and Blue Dragon to friends but there’s no way to play them outside X360 :(

Given the kind of player the games attract, this kind of model probably makes sense, especially if it would mean even better content support from paradox. The players already essentially are paying a subscription if they want to keep using the newest updated version and dlc.

I didn’t have a 3DS and couldn’t have bought Bank or any of the related games. I do have a Switch and can buy these services, but don’t really want to. It’s kinda annoying that you presume Pokemon fans are a continuous linear progression and that everyone involved has been a part of every decision or product. 

That doesn’t make it suddenly not a cost

You’ll still have to pay for Nintendo online, and possibly also a subscription for Home.

Ah, that’s why there’s middling post-game. Nintendo finally learned that they can just cut content and re-sell it.

Have fun paying 500$ for the game and all its expansion content 

Me, enjoying Outer Worlds, Outer Wilds, and following the development of a game called Outworlder: Oh no

I get your point, but the cultural concepts behind otakus aren’t confined to or required to include underage sexualization.

It would have been neat if you could take actual sponsorships, have logos on your jersey, and customize your stuff the more important you got. Maybe after enough gym badges you’d be permitted to deviate from the uniform restrictions. Maybe you could gain certain benefits from accepting sponsorships like discounts on…

As far as I understand, EVE is absolutely full of some real hot garbage people

Gen 2's rival (if you consider that a good guy) is Giovanni’s son

I think the assumption is that pokemon, at least some of them, are nearly at the intelligence of a human and fully able to understand the impact of an economy and their labor. Dogs don’t have any concept of labor or value, they just want to be good boys. 

Would have been a much more interesting, and matured story, if he had shown any measure of success. Still one of the best stories in the games, but the story was ultimately meaningless by making the evil team the same world conquest standard group in the end, and the primary antagonist go “whatever” and quit.

Lol okay

I have issues with that set that I won’t really discuss here, but thanks anyway
