#every other time ive gotten this far in a mario game starting from the beginning of the level was extra frustrating

[delightfuldevin]

Okay break time I am tired of dying hdbcjxbcjs

Decided to do like I did for After Alterna and put my switch in sleep mode so I don’t lose my checkpoint. Just making this post to log how many deaths I’ve had so far. It’s somewhere around 55; I lost count hdbcjdbcjs

[knightofbalance-13]

I’ve decided to switch focus for a moment from RWDE to this, a sort of hyperbolic series of videos criticizing Video Games. I will might also cover his Twilight Princess/Skyward Sword too but I wanna hit this because I am very well versed in Pokemon and I have been a fan of the series since I picked up an old Red Version back in the early 2000′s so yeah, I have been a long term fan having played the games from Red to X and the only reason I don’t play Sun or Moon is because I haven’t gotten the games. I have done quite a bit of research on them though so I feel confident that I can debate this. So let’s begin:

0:25

Actually yes, they have. A lot. Like the Steel Type which WASN’T a part of Generation 1, Berries, alternate Pokeballs with differing catch rates based on conditions, Natures, Physical/Special Split, Double Battles, Held items, Evs and Ivs, Abilities, Breeding, EV training, Poke-amie, Mega Evolution which completely changed the game, Roaming Legendaries, the Fairy Type and re typing of previous Pokemon, the Alolan forms, Poekpolaga, Z-Moves and many others because I don’t do competitive battles. And this is all coming without delving into how THESE aspects are changed and built upon, such as the Triple battle, Rotation battle and Inverse Battle being built off of the Double Battles along with the various new Pokeballs, The change with the Physical Special Spilit, the sheer variety of the held items and the Abilities that are rare like Hidden Abilities or Mega Abilities. And then we have spin off games, such as the Mystery Dungeon Series, the Ranger series, the Rumble series, Pokemon COnquest, Pokemon Snap, Poke Collseum, Pokemon XD, Pokken and such. This is simply not true.

1:50

This Mario analogy really bites him in the ass because if Pokemon is nothing but these turn based battles, then Mario would be, by his logic, nothing but jumping around. And once again, this only applies to the Pokemon main series, not the spin offs which have dungeon crawling, adventure games, beat em ups, stradegy games, photo shooting and fighting games. So this compliant still doesn’t hold up and with  the Mario analogy kind of gives an air of willful ignorance.

2:08

“Copy and Paste”? Really? So the fact that there are new characters, new locations, new cities, new types of battles, new items and so are completely disregarded? If so, then no wonder you have a problem: you aren’t taking things into account. And then there’s the fact that not every Pokemon fan watches trailers so that flaw doesn’t apply to them and is thus not a universal criticism.

3:22

*Groans and growls* A. That doesn’t even make sense considering wild Pokemon cannot stall the game like that, they would have no concept of such a thing being WILD Pokemon, another Pokemon means more experience points without having to look for more Pokemon, grinding is inherently slow so “quickly” doesn’t even make sense, you are pretty much guaranteed to be stronger than any none Legendary Wild pokemon in the game so a second pokemon would pose no threat and this could have just been avoided if you mentioned how in generation 5 when you are faced by two wild pokemon you could send out two. I know this is a joke but the joke is so poorly written and so badly enacted that there’s no humor for me to suspend my disbelief for him.

3:43

Gee, i dunno. Because that’s over 800 POKEMON that you would need to program into the game which is located on a hand held console meaning it has less space and less processing power than a console. Also, Pokemon following you around is your suggestion? Dude, that is the definition of a novelty: as cheap throwaway gimmick that in fact would be just like that “new coat of paint” you were complaining about. All the stuff I mentioned but you refuse to acknowledge actually impacts the gameplay.

4:22

...Would you believe it if I said that this exact analogy is why I decided to do all of this? Yeah, this is a TERRIBLE analogy. First off, you’d HAVE to order the Cheesecake, just like how you’d BUY a pokemon game. If you complain about getting the same basic formula as before, it’s no one’s fault but your own.

Secondly, stuff like Abilities, Fairy Types and Mega Evolution would change the game entirely so it would be exactly the same as before. But you know what IS essentially chocolate shaving? Having your Pokemon follow you around. The one specific compliant so far and it spits in the face of everything else.

Third: The part about not putting chocolate shaving on strawberry would be disgusting if it actually happened, just like how adding in Pokemon following you everywhere would clash with the gimmicks of some of the gyms.

Fourth: The part about being more expensive is just blatantly false: Teh starting price of Pokémon games, at least since Diamond and Pearl, has always been 50 dollars. Are older games cheaper now? Yes but that’s how prices go: The newest games are more expensive because they expanded more than the older games.

Fifth: You can stop ordering cheesecake at many time and look for another dessert, just like you can stop playing the main series of games and look at the spin-offs or just different games. Nobody is forcing you but yourself.

4:32

Hehehehe...

Remember this.

4:37

But if you change the battles, that would be a complete OVERHAUL of the game, that thing you said Pokemon didn’t need to do 5 SECONDS ago!

4:43 And Abilities, and new types, and Mega Evolution, and held items, and Double+ battles...

Also, no unique Z-Moves? Well, sorry Catasrropika, 10 000 000 Volt Thunderbolt, Stoked Sparksurfer, Extremem Evoboost, Pulververizing Pancake, Genesis Supernova Sinister Arrow Raid, Mailcious Moonsault, Oceanic Operetta, Guardian of Alola, Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike and Clangorous Soulblaze: None of you are unique enough!

4:52 Then don’t USE the Z-Moves: You have a choice to not use them. Even so, you cannot speak for everyone and if this is YOUR issue, that’s YOUR problem, not Gamefreak’s/

5:13 A. The opinionh about Totem Pokemon is personal opinion and without any proof is irrelevant.

And B. What about Kiawe’s trial which is about spotting the difference in the dancing, or Mallow’s trial where you have to find four ingredients or Sophocies’s trial where you have to answer several questions? A bit more expansive than most Pokemon Gyms.

5:30 Because if they did do that: Then the Gym Leaders (oir Captains here) would just feel like a generic trainer. It works for the rivals because you see their teams grow but with Gym Leaders? One battle and that’s it. The types give them more personality and more vibrancy.

5:39

Why are the rivals dumb? What makes them dumb? ... No answer? Well then, they aren’t the dumb ones here.

And if we talk about rivals as a whole: What about Gladion? He’s a call back to older rivals, specifically Silver with his personalty and parental troubles.

6:33

A. YOU DID NOT FINISH THE GAME. This explains why you have made so many mistakes here: You are talking out of your ass and pretending you know this stuff without seeing it for yourself or, lie me, doing any research on them. If you don’t even confirm what you are saying is true, why should anyone believe you?

And B. Exp. Share is OPTIONAL: You have no one to blame for that but yourself if you let your team get that overleveled.

.7:12

A. Pikachu’s voice is literally it saying “pik-a-chu” That’s it. Nothing else. You are directly lying here.

B. That skit is as unfunny as one form modren Family Guy

And C. Pikachu’s only appear in SOS battles and only in two places so they DON’T appear that often. And even if Hau has a Pikachu, he uses it three times and evolves it into a Raichu.

7:40 Then that would break the game, making attacks with low PP completely worthless and making super hard to defeat Pokemon like Shuckle a terror. You say, don’t do a big overhaul but this WOULD be a big overhaul.

8:04 THAT is the very definition of a complete overhaul. You just contradicted yourself AGAIN.

8:15 You mean like a dungeon crawler, or a beat em up or an adventure game or a fighting game? Like the ones that already exist? Yeah, kind of makes it look like you don’t do a lick of research.

8:27 Okay then, what’s your excuse for fans like me, ones who ARE older but still enjoy the new games? Nothing?

8:35 ... He says they should do a spin off game...and references a spin off game...

.. Do I even need to be here?

8:57

A. Teh E-Shop games cost about six bucks a piece: Not really a cash grab.

And B. That part ignores the legal side of things where, by using already existing Pokemon, the creators have every right to protect their intellectual property if they so choose. Not to mention this sin’t even exclusive to Pokemon, which around the time Uranium got hit a Metroid fangame was hit as well so this is clearly Nintendo’s doing.

9:39

...

You know...Nothing...and I mean nothing...pisses me off more than some whiny, entitled, arrogant, pissant pseudo-fan claiming that a creator is being lazy or some shit because all that says is that you understanding NOTHING about what they d Especially since this so called “artistic intergrity” was gone when you started not doing research, contradicting yourself and outright LYING just to push your narrative while insulting the real fans for paying attention to the changes that the creators have done over the years and teh chances tehy’ve taken.

And the most ironic thing is, you putting LESS effort into your videos would actually HELP. Because you already don’t do research or fact check anything you say, you already take footage from other places and the one thing you put effort into were the WORST parts of the video. Remove the original animations and you’d actually have a better product. Funny how stuff rebounds on you.

Quality Vs Quantity in Video Games

New Post has been published on https://extraupdate.com/quality-vs-quantity-in-video-games/

Quality Vs Quantity in Video Games

Video games are one of the maximum famous kinds of entertainment, now rivaling the movie and music industries. Compared to movies and music, video games are much more pricey in line with the buy. On iTunes, an average album is going for approximately $10 and DVD films typically are under $30. Meanwhile, complete retail video games normally move for $60 on each the PS3 and Xbox 360 ($50 for PC and Wii). The current monetary downturn has harm most groups global, and video games aren’t any exception. Game sales are down significantly from just multiple years ago and plenty of organizations are being compelled to layoff workers and entire development teams. For customers, it is more crucial than ever to pick games which are an awesome fee. Determining what precisely makes a game a terrific fee is a tough question to answer, as validated via the drastic distinction in income from one sport to some other.

Video Games

A lower fee is a sure way to increase cost. Digital distribution does permit for this as publishers do now not should price for the fee of shipping a sport to stores. Every most important modern gaming platform (PC, 360, PS3, Wii, DS, and PSP) permits in a few capacity for digitally downloaded video games. The newly introduced PSP Go will most effectively allow for downloadable video games. This is virtually a good trend however it isn’t quite the solution, at the least now not yet. For starters, the extensive majority of games are nonetheless bought at retail.

There are some motives for this. Console manufacturers are simply beginning to combine fully featured games into their download offerings and so most of the primary titles can not be purchased this manner. Console gamers will even want an adjustment duration to get used to the concept so even as greater video games end up available thru Xbox Live or PlayStation Network, there will still be a time period that retail purchases outsell their downloadable opposite numbers. Secondly, there has but to be a noticeable cut in rate for buying the downloadable releases.

Buying a brand new launch on the Steam download provider for PC generally, saves a pair greenbacks, but isn’t, always the drastic cut that was predicted. Also, games designed with the downloadable market are still normally less fleshed out than popular releases. Battlefield 1943, for example, is a down load-most effective sport lately launched that has the equal fashion gameplay because of the retail variations inside the series inclusive of Battlefield 2 or Battlefield 2142. However, it only has four multiplayer maps and 3 training to apply. This is ways fewer than the preceding entries. So although Battlefield 1943 is cheaper, it’s far cheaper due to the fact there is much less content material.

In that case, it comes right down to the sport itself while looking at value. Some games offer superb amounts of content. Supreme Commander takes approximately 30 hours to finish, The Orange Box should take even extra to complete all the covered video games, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion ought to close for over a hundred hours if a player selected to look all it has to offer. Then there are multiplayer targeted video games that would offer a limitless quantity of replayability. Call of Duty four has gotten over a hundred hours of online play from certain people and World of Warcraft has so much to it that Blizzard prices $15 in step with a month to play it and nevertheless sees thousands and thousands of users play for years.

Quantity Examples

On the flip aspect, Call of Duty four takes underneath 10 hours to plow through its tremendous, but short single player campaign. The God of War games are seriously acclaimed but none of them are very lengthy and do no longer offer any multiplayer gameplay both.

This ends in the critical query. What makes a sport worth buying? If it’s far the quantity of hours to complete than role playing video games which include Final Fantasy and Fallout three are truly on the top of the listing. However, it is not possible to measure the hours required to finish a multiplayer sport. Going lower back to Call of Duty 4, you could see all the maps and modes in just a couple of hours, however, some people hold coming returned for more.

The answer to the question will absolutely range from man or woman to man or woman. For me, the satisfactory value is a high-quality, excessive-content material experience. I actually have presently played Oblivion for over 40 hours, have not finished it, and still revel in playing it. That is undeniably correct value. It receives tougher to select when it comes to video games which can be quick however candy and games which are lengthy but mediocre.

Braid, a downloadable sport for Xbox Live Arcade and PC is a Super Mario-fashion platformer with a twist that your character can manipulate time to clear up puzzles. I bought this recreation and completed it after simply four or five hours of play. The recreation even has a style to try and beat in forty-five minutes, acknowledging how brief it surely is. There isn’t any multiplayer either and so I actually have now not long gone lower back to it after completing it. That stated, I, in reality, loved the game. Everything from the specific gameplay to the soundtrack, to the storyline, fits sincerely properly together. The sport charges money although, and I were given a long way fewer hours of it than I did with different games.

I had been told that Titan Quest for PC can take up to forty hours to complete. While I admire the developers looking to enlarge the duration of the sport, I for my part did no longer fall in love with the sport. I put in approximately 5 or 6 hours into it and despite the fact that there wasn’t something especially incorrect with it, I ended up moving directly to another recreation and never completed it. It might have the capability to be a worthwhile purchase, but I did not get plenty out of it as I had was hoping for the price I paid.

This is the risk developers discover with making their games longer. With a constrained range of hours to play video games, I will not finish games that I locate move on for a long term if I am now not a large fan of them. This decreases its cost for me because I will by no means get to see the conclusion of the tale or square off towards the hardest boss enemies that the game has to offer.

Is there an ideal sweet spot for games to reach, where they provide sufficient content without getting tedious midway thru the game? Should all video games have a minimal period, say 10 hours? 15 hours? Should shorter games be cheaper because of their period? Is it higher for a sport to be short and first-rate or long and true, however not wonderful? I don’t know if I can solve these questions however I would love to listen from every body who has an opinion on the subject.
