This exactly. The familiarity of Pokemon games is part of the appeal. It’s great when they branch out, I loved Arceus for example, but it’s frustrating to me that it’s just become this belief that Pokemon fans “want” it to be open-world because I very much do not. S/V to me suffered from trying to be a more open world…

Stop sending out Heritage Auctions press releases as news stories.  This shit is exactly why they managed to inflate prices in the used game market by changing the perceptions of clueless people and getting greedy idiots into collecting video games.

If anyone buys this game they are an idiot.

Maybe he was thinking of Klaus Barbie, The Butcher of Lyon.

Overwatch sucks as a twitch shooter, it has no ring zero anticheat and 64hz tickrate and a floaty game engine. Agile players are still going to just play CS/Valorant, Overwatch continues to pine after players who have no interest in their product.

Out of the box it was never a good twitch shooter, and none of us are…

Well, yes, of course, but you’re supposed to respond with, “Oh, not in Hamburg, no, it’s a Bavarian expression”

Well I’m from Hamburg, and I’ve never heard anyone call Barbie “Sheer Hell”.

I’d like to see them shave the Push match time down from 10 minutes to 0.

Yikes, this probably is the way forward at some point, isn’t it?

Makes sense if they’re speedrunning the death of this game

It’s the new Twitch hotness and everyone is talking about it. But the conversation is petering out and the streamers are starting to move on. Helldivers 2 has been stealing its thunder lately. So yeah the question is once the hype train pulls into the station is anyone really going to care in 12 months time?

it’s not clear to us whether Herzog is offering a qualitative assessment of Gerwig’s movie, or genuinely speaking to its neon pink depiction of Barbieland, a world in which ostensibly happy “people” play out basic routines with no capacity for understanding any of the ennui or despair clawing at the edges of…

I like both Legends and Let’s Go, but also understand that they cater to very audiences. Let’s Go was pure nostalgia and let’s you replay the original games while reducing the RPG elements that can bog the games down. I can casually play a Let’s Go in a weekend and never need to grind for XP. Could live without the…

How would it compete with Pokemon? They aren’t even the same genre of game.

I imagine some people are reflexively defensive. I imagine some others, though, are only going to buy this one game for the next several months, and so, that it is so long, is less of a bother. I’ll give that latter group a pass. Everyone else should know better.

Exactly - why anyone is even publicizing this scam in 2024 is beyond me.

No it can’t and it’s not rare. I’m sorry but you really should do the research on the entire sealed game auctions. It’s a scam being driven by rich people who are outside the hobby trying to artificially drive up costs.


This will not go for 700k.   The boom already happened and since they released the population…

How did i know Heritage Auctions would be buried in the copy somewhere

Palworld is buggier than S/V ever were, but you don’t hear the grognards complaining about it.
