Which Pokemon game is superior and why, Yellow or Crystal?

Huge butthurt at Yokohama Worlds. Tons of players disqualified for using pokemon generated by third-party software. Cheaters are crying about rules finally being enforced. They're complaining that it takes too much time to train legitimately when developing monsters is the most accessible it's ever been over the franchise's entire existence (not like these retards have lives outside of scrimming anyway). They're also crying that lots of meta monsters are paywalled. They are, but kinda dumb to complain about a paywall when you're willing to spend thousands of dollars in travel expenses to attend a tournament with a laughably tiny prize pool (10,000 USD). The entitlement of VGC manchildren is ridiculous.

I am not even against hacking monsters, but it's so easy to make them appear legitimately sourced that I have no sympathy for players who got caught. They're just lazy retards. Why someone wants to attend competitions to play a game they don't enjoy playing is beyond my comprehension. I could understand if the prize pools were Dota 2-level. But really, I can't understate how easy it is to build a team nowadays. This is shit you can do while multitasking. The game is on perpetual cruise control now. Or maybe just get better at cheating, that's another option.

I loved them both, but if I were to replay them nowadays I'd be bored to tears.
I bought Pokemon Scarlet not too long ago, beat the game in 11 days, and now I regret that I ever spend 60€ on it; but a game like Chess has stayed with me until this very day.

I haven't played any Pokemon since primary school but my favorite's then were HGSS and RSE. I cared for Gen 1 and 4 the least because 1 was too vanilla to me and I didn't like 4's new Pokemon, otherwise it's a solid generation, while 2 and 3 felt more exotic and lively. After gleaming at what fans say about the series' mechanics and history for a week it seems like it was never actually good and was well-liked for being a nice journey especially for children, there's a step forward and back with each new generation that disappoints people and keeps them endlessly waiting for their perfect game. Never majorly innovating its mechanics or premises nor upping its difficulty are the biggest ones. I got Gen 5 around launch, saw the Pokemon in it, and decided I didn't need to play more of these games because it's just the same as last time. The remakes don't expand the regions either, and I think they should've kept refining the first 3 or 4 gens like Yakuza does with Kamurochou before moving on.

Another big turn off is Nintendo jewing fans (who were/are mostly children) who want to complete the Pokedex with two versions of the game, needing to buy more main games and spin-offs, and having to go to Gamestop for some employee to swipe a card that let's you access content already on the cartridge.

Ruby and Sapphire are my favorites personally. I have re-played all the first 3 gens on occasion since growing up from kid. Comfy games

what is the best FF game for someone who never played a FF game of his life?
To my perspective of an unplayer, I would say the story is meh, the combat are too boring and the worldbuilding is average. the objects/magic are average,etc…yadayada

Best combat system in the series, but the story is absolute hot trash. But it's hot trash in an enjoyable way that borders on schlock, it's extremely hammy, it's like a DM going off the rails and throwing everything in, going "fuck it". It's not meant to be deep or taken seriously.

>and i can't stand that "spam attack button to win" loop where you have lots of systems and options that are mostly useless

There's a few useless jobs, like Chemist or Geomancer, but there's no OP job that becomes "spam X to win". At parts of the game certain classes have certain advantages, but nothing too ridiculous. You need to balance your party evenly and develop multiple classes with each, because you have return to the "freelancer" for the endgame and utilize all the jobs you've mastered.

It's not a perfect system, but it works extremely well if it's your first playthrough and don't know all the bells and whistles.

 No.60027

The job system sucked, it was like some sandbox game. I didn't know what to level, what composition to use, when to return to mime/freelancer etc. Often the bosses were trivial by switching to 4 black mages.

I'm not legally allowed to drive in meatspace but I enjoy driving and crashing in computer games and I hope other wizards do to. People (plebeians) think racing vidya is all the same but that couldn't be further from any of the truths. There are combat racing games, racing simulators, arcade racers, rhythm racers, driving simulators, driving racers, kart-likes, and some other kinds even maybe. If you played any recently or want to play some soon then let us know in this thread or the next one if this one has over 300 posts.

I found out about Burnout 3: Takedown reading a magazine way back in 2004. They reviewed it and gave it a perfect score. I hadn't actually been a racing games fan, but the enthusiastic review coupled with some of the mentioned game mechanics caught my interest. Had my mom buy it and was immediately hooked. It's a very fun game, wizzies, lots of unlockable stuff and not particularly hard.
Only racing game I ever got.
Highly recommended

I loved high stakes as a kid, played it loads. I always found it to be a shame that many of the cars weren't available in pursuit mode, but I guess these days I could probably mod that in.

I'll need to head to work soon, but if any of you are interested in playing together later, there is a quite chill f2p racing game based on Initial D, it's called Initial Drift Online. It has an online mode, but there are no competitions, you just complete routes together with your friends. I modded the game to give cars more speed and grip, which makes completing the routes even more fun.

My friend, look at 2023 Sony… PS5 is essentially a PC with mediocre specs, pretty much no exclusives or reason to get it over a PC or XBOX with Game Pass, they give us a controller with gimmicky touch pad, lights and rumble that's expensive and barely lasts 4hrs on a full charge, every old exclusive is also on PC, PS4, or both, they shut down good studios and don't get proper replacements, while Microsoft buys a ton of good ones and Nintendo keeps pumping the Switch with good IPs, now they've announced a handheld that's a shadow of the PSP and PS Vita, doesn't even have Bluetooth and only works to stream your own PS5, not even Sony's streaming service works with it.

All Sony does now is pathetic, and the only reason they're not dead is because of PS4 backwards compatibility, since that console was a success for them, and also brand recognition, it's PlayStation, it's what people know best, but they suck now.

Blows my mind that one could buy a game like Osmos on Steam for $2.99 right now whereas a quick look-up for Tamagotchi on Amazon showed me one for $19.99. I mean, you basically need to buy like a $100 device to be able to play Osmos on but technically it should be a lot cheaper nowadays.

I dunno. I don't know enough about technology to say for sure that one should be able to get a standalone handheld game like Osmos for $1 in 2023.

Nobody owns anything they bought on Steam. They are renting it for an indeterminate amount of time, and they're not allowed to share it. The $2.99 which permits you to play a game today may not be enough to keep playing that game tomorrow.

A $20 Tomogatchi is yours to do as you wish, for as long as you like. You will be arrested if you throw it at a government official.

assuming that steam will die one day and all the games purchased will be lost:
you can just transfer your entire steam directory to somewhere else, and play all the games in offline mode. this is basically a time capsule of all your purchases

but online features won't work in offline mode:
true, but games inevitably lose all their networking and servers anyways. you should not expect commercial games with a focus on online multiplayer and so on to remain playable. typiclly as soon as the playerbase dwindles the servers are cut

I've been trying new genres of games and as a lower skilled player the only thing that allows me to try these games in multiplayer is SBMM. I've tried games in the same genre without it, and the difference of what my true level is is palpable. I've been reading forum threads to see what the normies think about it. And one thing I've learned is that the type of gamers who post on forums, are usually not your typical average gamer, but more hardcore just to care enough to post. So often their complaints might be the opposite for a casual noob like me, and actually be to my benefit.

Its just an interesting exercise in hypocrisy and the golden rule with the SBMM bitching. They don't like being hunted by the sharks, but complain that they can't have a "casual relaxing" game of hunting guppies. Theres no self-awareness of staring into the mirror, of what a hell being around people like themselves is.

I used to have this fantasy of all the Nietzschean ubermen, will to power, will to dominate types being sent to their own Mad Max island where they can dominate each other. Wolves eating wolves. But it seems its not every fun to be on a diet of wolfmeat, they need some nonconsenting sheep too. I've seen some proposals for a more voluntary SBMM. But the self-aware among them, admit that most casuals would choose it, and so they'd still be in the same box. Basically they want casuals to be forced to play with them.

It just fascinating to see in the gaming world, how ubermen feel about being sent to my Mad Max island where wolves can only eat other wolves.

Still in call of duty, without SMBB playing old modern games that are still alive, there are times in which it is hard to win and others in which you have casual fun.
There should be no MM in COD.

Without SBMM you have pubstomps and insane sweats shutting down lobbies. Its not fun at all.
Im good at fps and fighting games, pred in apex. Killing clueless noobs that cant shoot back is not fun. Getting beamed by a chinese fps prodigy or getting 100-0d by a korean with a tricked out shitbox is also not fun.
I legitimately cant think of a reason why you wouldnt like SBMM, unless you think you're good enough to statistically pubstomp more than youre pubstomped so you just want to ruin some newbies' day instead of trying fighting people your own size. Every complaint I've seen online boils down to "whenever I crush noobs I have to fight people my level and then I lose".
Its ingrained bully behavior, "let me fight people weaker than me".

Some are rather open about that, some weasel "I just don't want to sweat" "I want to relax and play casually" which amounts to the same thing, go play bots to relax.

for bigger games, like planetside 1/2, an mmofps, it's fun to be confronted by all the expert groups. i remember always playing solo in the first, when everyone else cooperates in massive outfits/clans

so i would have to do guerilla warfare and be tricky, set the cards in my favor, initiate fights after they fall for a trap, surprise them, that thing

i think it depends on the type of game. my utter inability to compete with those guys skill-wise evolved into a fun coping strategy that is now the default way i play games, like a dumb little sneaky weasel

but it also means i now avoid skill-based ranking games also, because this prevents you from being david going against goliath, and usually the games do nto allow you to be solo which isn't fun
