Do you believe that every game that uses a central server should be required to compensate players when eventually those online services are shut down? Because I would say that games shutting down is a completely reasonable part of how these things work, and a reasonable expectation by the players when they buy into that system. You’re paying for access to content for the lifespan of the game, not an eternal entitlement to active servers until the heat death of the universe.

Just yelling scam as loud as you can doesn’t actually make something a scam pal

If you don’t like it, don’t play it. Simple as. The government has no place telling private citizens what games they can buy or sell.

There are far fewer games to choose and they are lower quality.

Lmao what?

Believe it or not, the majority of people don’t just default to “but I could just pirate this instead”, especially when a decent computer will easily be more than twice as expensive as a switch.

Beyond that, you lose out on the multi-player aspect of things. The switch is also far better in terms of portability than the alternatives in pc space, both in terms of size and battery life.

How about they keep their worthless government mits out of gaming?

I mean it makes sense. The S was marketed as a budget console, so all the people looking for the actual current Gen platform just lurked around until an X popped up for sale. And beyond that, the S didn’t get hit by the chip shortage nearly as hard since it’s lower end hardware.

Average inopportune mindset

There’s no inopportune time for sex scenes, only an inopportune mindset

This is probably the best chance foamstars is going to get, and tbh it sorely needs it. It’s a game that wears it’s inspiration on its shoulder a bit too proudly. It needs to get itself out there and actually show people what makes it unique, rather than just “you wanted splatoon but couldn’t be assed to get a switch”. Because from what I’ve seen, it definitely has the potential to be it’s own thing, but the advertising so far does an abysmal job at really setting it apart.

It’d be funny if the patch just made the game open your browser to the amd website

Pokemon black/white is definitely an interesting game while still bringing it in to a satisfying return to status quo. You’re initially introduced to team plasma right after you get your first pokemon, and have not only had a chance to catch some early game mons, but are even encouraged to catch as many as you can by your friends. Team plasma, then, provides a stark contrast, the proposal that pokemon should be free from humans, and humans are just oppressing them. You then bump into N, who sees your bond with your pokemon, and has his own worldview challenged, that maybe humans and pokemon are strongest together.

Further into the game, you discover that team plasma is just a farce to separate people from their pokemon in order to make it easy for ghetsis to take over, and that he carefully manipulated N’s gift to be able to talk to pokemon in order to make him truly believe in the cause of pokemon liberation. And this is displayed through the gameplay as well. N doesn’t have a permanent team. Rather, he uses pokemon from the nearby routes whenever you battle him, and he lets them go afterwards.

The conclusion of the story is that there is no one right answer, that neither truth nor ideals are the way forward on their own. N is convinced by you through your efforts that pokemon and people are truly capable of achieving greater heights together, while still accepting that there are pokemon being abused that are deserving of help.

Insert b2w2. It’s a few years later, and team plasma has split. There’s the faction who follows ghetsis, neo plasma, and the traditionalists who still follow N. While the latter is focused on righting the wrongs of plasma’s past, neo plasma has moved to be more extreme, with ghetsis still seeking power.

Fun side note, the climax with ghetsis and kyurem is the only time in the series where the antagonist tries to kill the player. Not beat you in a battle. Kill you. Directly and personally.

To elaborate, atari went bankrupt ages ago, and it’s just had the IP rights to various things chopped up and sold around many times since then. The amount atari exists is just to whatever extent the current owner wants to monetize the name.
