I told you this game was a Trojan horse in disguise. It sets a precedent that will be incredibly harmful for players.
These suits DON'T CARE about us and the fact that some of you defend their practices makes my blood boil.
You don't know what you're giving up. But you will.
Had to cancel my youtube premium sub so i am seeing ads on youtube for the first time since 2018. Bro this shit is like being transported to another planet/reality. What the fuck bullshit are they making you guys watch.
astral chain was a real modern day and meaningful evolution to hack and slash action. deeply overlooked and under appreciated, incredibly innovative. Platinum was peaking here.
The warframe destiny comparison has always been a very tiring one, the games are just so different from eachother I’ve really never understood where the comparison came from. The only things they have that’s similar are they’re both in space, you can move fast, and there looter shooters by definition. This is not me putting down warframe at all but the game is just so different from Destiny idk how people can suggest it as a “replacement” when the things people play Destiny for are just absent
🚨 HOY es el DIA
🔥🎮 ¿Compraste un juego y años después dejó de funcionar porque cerraron servidores? El primer día para que eso se acabe es HOY. 🎮🚫
🗣️ La iniciativa #StopKillingGames llega hoy al debate del Parlamento Europeo con 1.2 MILLONES de firmas. España 🇪🇸 ha sido clave, siendo el 4º país con más apoyo 🚀
🎭 No estamos "alquilando" software, estamos comprando cultura. Hoy Europa decide si los videojuegos son arte eterno o productos desechables. 🏛️👾
👉🏻 Si bien hoy se escucha la iniciativa puede no decidirse algo hasta JULIO
¡Que se oiga el ruido! 📢🔥

The Stop Killing Games movement has officially backed the proposed California bill focused on protecting players when online games are shut down.
> Publishers must provide an offline mode or a way to keep the game playable after server shutdown.
> If this is not possible, players should receive a full refund.
> The goal is to protect digital ownership and game preservation.
This proposal follows growing concerns over games becoming completely inaccessible once support ends, especially after shutdowns like The Crew.
Most gamers think that if players pay for a game, it should remain playable or be fairly compensated.
doom eternal is the perfect litimus test for gamers where if you say it sucks 99.9% of the time it's because you suck at it and refuse to engage with the game's mechanics
Again?? Okay.
Pokémon fell off. They got so comfortable being at the top that they stopped trying. What's even worse is that people are okay with this.
-Gens 1 and 2's plot involved a crime syndicate kidnapping Pokémon and selling them on the black market.
-Gen 3 involved two eco-terrorists beefing with each other for territory and risking ecological upheaval.
-Gen 4 had a man striving to create a "perfect universe" by destroying the current one.
-Gen 5 had a man aiming to lay claim to a region using, dare I say, fascistic tactics to install a totalitarian regime. Also in Gen 5, Colress worked with Ghetsis while rejecting his ideology. Colress wanted to draw out the full potential of Pokémon even if it causes casualties. Can you tell which Gen is my favorite?
This is when it starts to fall off.
-Gen 6 had a man who wanted to rid the world of what he deems ugly by activating a weapon of mass destruction.
-Gen 7 had delinquents led by a guy who was upset for losing to the [best] professor. You also had a woman who sought to preserve things she "loved" against their will.
-Gen 8 had a VERY preventable plot where Fake Tony Stark wanted to immediately solve a problem that wouldn't happen for another 1000 years.
-Gen 9 was about helping a guy find his parents, who were already dead after a freak accident involving time travel. Sounds pretty interesting, but you have to play through the other 88% of the game that doesn't talk about this first. A pointless school plot and a pointless plot involving kids who are misunderstood. Can you tell which Gen is my most disliked?
All of this to say the storytelling got bland, and the interesting parts were muddled with blandness. The gimmicks began to replace creativity as the roster additions became smaller. They began to offer less content and replace it with visuals. Powering through processing problems doesn't cut it anymore. Pokémon Violet crashed on me four separate times, more than any game I've played since Fallout 3 on PS3 back in 2010.
The worst part? Pokémon's audience. This isn't an attack on the fans, mind you. This is a critique of how the corpos get away with peddling "new thing" and raking in the money. They know they can metaphorically offer low-effort microwaved burger patties as long as it has the "essence" of Pokémon on it and the fans happily will lap it up at retail price. And now we have Pokémon, but it's DQB/AC/Minecraft and doesn't commit to just Pokémon since you're a Ditto cosplaying as a human.
It's extremely difficult being a fan of Pokémon. My standards for a good Pokémon game aren't high at all, but they continually fall below that bar. I'm tired, man.
