that’s brilliant!

Thanks :) . Unfortunately yes, we have our own version of Trump. Multiple parties in fact are spouting similar nonsense.

I can’t speak for the USA peeps, but I’m from the UK (England) and it’s a mixed bag here. We have some shows that refuse to end (eg Doctor Who) and yet a lot of shows only have 12 eps spread across 2 years. I do know that when it comes to movies I get sucked in by nostalgia easily. I both dread and get filled with…

Yay, I found the one other person on the internet who likes the new tune. Hi :D

Super Arppis said “I can usually sell my boxed games if I so desire”, can’t do that with the digital game, so your statement “The game is the game regardless...” is false.

I love you for posting this.

Exactly. Waking the world up and stopping the sexualization of young kids takes precedence over any gender issues imo, or it should. There is no such thing as a “sexy school-anything” - it’s sad that is even has to be said but thats the world we live in.

Cognitive Dissonance at work.

True and it is indeed funny. “I can’t grasp why having more options is a bad thing, are we just going to make it so the only people who get to stream are the people who started streaming early?” - Agree completely, this is a real problem for new people to the internet (and to the world! young people get such a raw…

If the internet is to be believed, Pokémon is incredibly popular on Earth.

I dont begrudge this at all, but lets not pretend its “new and entertaining” Dance mat being used to play stuff is an old idea, and so is “playing an mmo while people watch”.

I think you were playing a game with very people so the players knew to be polite because they need you, it’s possible that back then, ten years ago that was basically every game too. Now there’s tonnes of replacements waiting in the wings ready to replace your raid spot whether you stand in fire or not. Say or do…

“Front load them with some good stuff and some easy levels then cut them off flat” This works for drugs too. Give them free cocaine for a few weeks and then just stop. Enjoy having them beg you for more, willing to pay double. How do i know this? Many dead friends, that’s how. I’ve never touched the stuff, but then…

For the record when I was new to gaming everything i said was dismissed too even over simple mechanics, I don’t think that’s a gender thing so much as a “I know best” mentality for people in guilds/clans that joined before you. The default state for men is “nothing I say regarding anything matters”, and only time and…

People getting salty at you unfortunately - its just so damn cool to hate the person who values the meaning behind phrases and words, but if no one ever says anything about these things we’ll end up with very few phrases that make sense anymore. Everything people say would hold no meaning, their choice of words…

I think the data mining is the key gripe people have. “If you didn’t buy the product, you ARE the product” or something like that. You’re being spied on in other words. Worse than facebook style.

It’s annoying watching Nintendo get it wrong for 2 generations in a row and yet succeed regardless, n watching Sony get it right on their 2nd try and still fail (due to other reasons, but still).

I can imagine it felt good to be unshackled to them anymore, probably worth the month it took!

Yeah I guess the devs/publishers just have to be confident enough it will be worth the extra resources up front, rather than waiting to see if it sells well in the originating country first.

I get the logic, so how did Pokemon X n Y do it? Guess they did just delay the game for the Japanese?
