Yah basically my viewpoint exactly. I loved pgr and was excited to see what their next outing would be, just to be disappointed that besides the combat it felt very much like a genshin skin. Collecting the gold cubes, doing shooting mini games, basically identical UI… It’s as if someone said now that genshin has had time to mature and gain mass appeal, let’s put out an inferior copy and have a perceived poor launch.
I really hope they find a way to differentiate the game, even if just a little because idk what would keep people here over their maxed genshin accounts. The reason I quit genshin was because after hundreds of hours climbing mountains and gliding to the next treasure chest I saw ad nauseum got extremely old and pointless considering that you level your characters for these huge damage numbers just to run the same abyss for the 500th time. Combat seems to be everyone’s favorite part so I really hope they lean into it and create some cool mechanics and features and stop with the “speed run” events where you could basically walk it and still get max rewards.
Btw, are you keeping up with news for the game at all? Since leaving reddit I’ve had a hard time keeping up with more niche subjects like gacha games…
I’m assuming they’re gonna crazily expand the city to feel game size. So a few NYC central parks-alikes for typical forest pokemon, some aquariums and a coastline for water types, some dark alleys for dark type. Something like that maybe?
TBH I’m just sad it’s not a normal remake. Gen 3 was my favorite because that’s the one I played as a kid, but gen 5 is when I got into competitive battling and farming so I really enjoyed it as well.
Some points you can’t really refute are cost and repairability. Yes, they’re expensive and yes, they’re quite difficult to repair, there’s no getting around that. One thing you don’t have to worry about is the screen though. I’m not sure what people have told you about it being “better,” because at this point most phone screens are pretty incredible; great brightness, contrast, oled, 120hz. Where foldables do shine is content consumption. I use my phone A LOT. And trust me when I say that the experience is pretty unparalleled. Multitasking, large video streams, gaming, browsing Reddit and now Lemmy were all absolutely incredible experiences and I can never go back to a slab phone. I bought both the 14 pro max and the pixel 7 pro to try to come back but it’s just not the same at all.
And the crease thing 100% disappears after 1 hour of using it. A lot of people hear about the crease, decide they don’t like it, try to have a hands on, see the crease and focus solely on it the whole time saying to themselves, I hate the crease, why would anyone buy this. It’s analogous to when apple did the notch; tech people were like what the fuck is apple doing, why are they making phones so ugly, I use that part of the screen, Samsung made mocking ads about it. And now every phone on the market has some variant of it because people learned it’s really not a big deal. Your fingers never go in the middle of the screen to feel it and as long as you have your phone on like 10% brightness it will wash out the crease from being apparent if you look at it dead on.
Trust, next time you’re at best buy check out Google or Samsung’s offerings. The phones are incredible.
Idk that makes sense for like story driven games where things have a definite ending. For a fighting game I don’t really care if they keep pumping them out since it’s not like detracting from anything major. People just want to play as like slippy or geno or something. People will just keep playing the good ones, like how melee has survived.
If this is real fuck you Nintendo, so bull shit for not just making it oled. There’s a $50 difference right now between the regular and oled variant which could 100% just be worked into the new switch pricing. You just know they’re releasing the oled model 1-3 years after launch so people buy again.
I think that’s in mostly budget phones because it’s a way for Samsung to subsidize the price. I’ve had multiple flagship Samsung phones and the fold 3/4 and have never seen that installed or had Facebook just randomly pop up. Now if you just want to take a stand against Facebook in general then yeah I feel you
Yeah so I was basically in the same boat as you when I first started. Played like half of trails in the sky 1 forever ago and then started with cold steel 1, then beat it and 2 and 3. Then looped back. I really do think there is something to gain by playing liberl and crossbell; liberl especially stuck out to me. I know crossbell is more acclaimed and it was definitely good but I think just how the game looks and the storyline is something else. Upon coming back to erebonia I realized how much I actually disliked those games compared to the others because of how ridiculous it was, what with all the girls falling over rean and some of the other plot points.
spoiler
___The mecha reveal fight was pretty badass though and kind of blew my mind though lol
Anyways if you like the series you should definitely play them even if you think you don’t need to. All the references and character reappearances are mind blowing. I do want to at least finish 4 at some point, to give some kind of closure.
Just beat tears of the kingdom. I think if totk had been released instead of botw it probably would’ve been one of the best games ever made… But with it being a follow up to botw it just felt way too similar for me to enjoy it. I essentially 100%ed botw so had no desire to just redo it again in totk. Basically just ran through the main story, did whatever side quests were easy, then fought Ganon. In a vacuum it was still a great game but I was sad it was so similar to botw.
Now playing the system shock remake. I beat 2 for the first time a few years ago and loved prey so have been excited to start it. Enjoying it so far for sure.
I wonder what the future is gonna hold for famous people. There’s gonna come a time when a rando dev can just press a button and a beautiful, funny, and any other-positive-quality-you-could-want person will be generated. This person will never commit a sex crime, will never say a racist remark, never do anything controversial. I imagine once that happens that’s just kinda it for famous people who represent a brand.
It really blows my mind to hear opinions like this because my viewpoint is so overwhelmingly the opposite. To me it seems like the clear next step; we have phones in our pockets and tablets in our homes. What if we could combine them to get the best of both worlds? The biggest issues I’ve heard are durability and price; both things that plagued early smart phones. You dropped your iphone from 2 inches or let it touch your keys for two seconds and the screen is ruined. The iphone 1 was $500, post subsidized, something unheard of back then.
Both of those are solved now and I’m sure in time foldables will do it as well. It might just end up taking apple hopping on board to really bring it to the mainstream like how they’re going to do with their VR set.
Can I ask why you think it’s such a gimmick?
I think it will if they continue being aggressive about it. Every company loves money and Microsoft can give them a lot of money. There’s no doubt in my mind that they will attempt to gobble up companies as fast as they can. It’s pretty sad that Xbox runs their company so awful that the only way they can compete is by just deleting 3rd parties.

I fucking love typing games, this is super cool to see. I was poor when I was a kid and I would just dump 100s of hours into typeshark lol
