It's actually the same thing it's always been. Gen 2 had a lot of the same mechanics. It's still a solid a kids game with the most complicated insane game ever underneath.

But, like, the first couple were actually pretty challenging and there were some cool dungeons. Now it's a straight shot and you don't even have to bother with type matching. I went into a gym and beat half of it with a Pokemon that was weak to that gym in X.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Zero fucking Vita games on US PSN's BF sale.

I'm never going to get EDF Vita, apparently. =/

Yo, I haven't watched Freeman's Mind in years. Has it still been going on?

Yeah man, if it ever ends it's gonna feel weird. Freeman is basically a raving lunatic at this point. The newer stuff is just alright.

Turn off EXP share. It's ruining the modern games' challenge. X and Y is fucking brutal without it.

Yup, after he left machinama hes been pumping out content faster then ever. He has about 90 minutes left of half life 1

 

[ShakuganSan]

Lemme correct myself, breeding is unfun tedious garbage. I like the idea that each Pokemon is an individual and has RNG stats.

Some people would go the extra mile to make their pokemons stronger

Man, I don't even know if I want to catch up. I can't remember where the hell I left off.

I don't see how wasting my time running around, hatching eggs is something fun. Could just be me.

Watch the whole thing again. It's like the best movie ever. (I might've done that a few times.)

GGs Mara and Crack, I'm gonna play more PQ

Same here, man.

 

[CrackPebbles]

GGs. Maragi had very consistent punishes for everything I did. Along with great pressure and baiting my smash attacks. Ima need rematch some other time.

 

[DoktorEvil]

That's it for me today, guys. I'm going to sleep. Will definitely play more tomorrow evening if you guys are up for it then.

GG to both.

MY TIME TO TRAIN!

You and Okin will have your hands full tomorrow.

You shpuld watch ross other shit like ross's game dungeon

 

[Banana Aeon]

I don't even know anymore, guys, why aren't the games fun? Why is everything centered around the post game? Why is the actual game becoming nothing but an afterthought? It's depressing.

Because it suffers from JRPG syndrome, for me.

AKA, it's boring. At least there is the meta to look forward to.

I was mainly looking at it from a competitive stand point, it's perfectly fine to ignore it if your gonna play through the game normally

 

[360pages]

I will agree Gens 1-4 are far better designed and feel like they were made as RPGS with great competitive features.

Gen 5-6 Lowered the difficulty far too much and removed a large sum of problem solving. Gen 5 had the best story, but it's easy to tell the games have been getting easier and easier.

I just have friends who are into breeding and it's frustrating to keep up with them, since it just takes hours and hours and hours to breed a perfect Pokemon team. I don't get any sense of pride or completion when I finally get it either.

It's just my opinion, but I dislike it rather strongly. Time investment is huge, coupled with RNG.

 

[croten]

I just finished The Fall. Look forward to that ending guys.

Apparently there is a confirmed parts 2 and 3 in development. Sweet

I figured I'd get a bunch of people's recommendations. Feel free to recommend me some stuff though. I really want to get a new laptop more than anything. I can't handle using this piece of crap anymore.

DP'd like my new thread.

Crap for which one? The netbook/notebook or the purely programming one?

Do you want the best for your money? Or just a good computer. What i'm trying to say is any specific specs besides the ones you listed already.

 

[Xiraiya]

Do any of you guys ever care about achievements? I was listening to GBcast and them going on about achievement points for the 5000th time and it occured to me that I can't think of a single time I have ever cared about whether a game had achievements/points or whatever.

Achievements WITHIN a game that actually have a tangible purpose maybe, but not system achievements (Steam,PSN etc.)

Ahh, I see where your coming from now, spending all that time just to keep up with friends may seem like a waste

If you want to blow all your money, Falcon Northwest makes ultra books to your specification and custom paints and shit. If you want something cheaper I got a "gaming" laptop from Lenovo and it works pretty great

Nah I have a laptop for programming already now and when I move out I'm gonna get a desktop and that'll be my work computer for programs and stuff. This one is for casual stuff like surfing/stream. A good computer that'll last a while is definitely preferred. I really don't have any specific specs. As long as it works better than my old shitty one idc.

I feel the same way. Stuff like the bottlecaps in Wonderful 101 or Umbran Tears in Bayonetta are essentially the same in form, but in some cases having reasons to get them like unlocking content is something I'm okay with.

I used to really care about achievements a lot when I started using Trueachievements.com for achievement tracking. It gives a weighted score to achievements so they're not such an arbitrary number. I still do like achievements, and will try to complete games that I really like, but I'm less aggressive about it.

I did in the in the early days of the Xbox but I stopped caring a long time ago. Infamous second son is my only platinum because it was literally as easy as playing the game twice, which I was going to do anyway

Definitely don't wanna blow money. Saving up to move out in a few years, but getting a new laptop is a must for me. I've heard of the Lenovo. I'll have to do some research on it.

Should have posted here.

I figured, but since it was in gaming I thought i shouldn't post a recommendation for a non gaming laptop/pc in gaming section.

Alright you guys have a good night, just finished up cooking a giant ass, spicy swedish meatballs, POE-TAY-TOES salad, and fresh creamy Profiteroles and heading out to the fams for Thanksgiving dinner.

Have a good one friendnder bros

 

[Xiraiya]

Just hearing them talk about it being like "Oh well good achievement systems are usually where they have some old crazy to do achievements but also have ones that give you some points early on to keep your interest and-"

I'm like... wait a minute, achievement points to KEEP your interest in a game? Why would that stuff ever have any bearing whatsoever on how long you play a game for?
Aren't achievements suppose to be like funny and random things you get for doing crazy or sometimes insanely hard stuff?

I'm doing some research for you. Macbook might be your best bet, but I'll find some alternatives.

Every laptop is fucking fragile as shit and nearly destined to fail. Apples high build quality is sadly one of the few things that makes them appealing.

It's also super expensive though, so gimme a few hours at most and I'll have a good list for you.

The problem is they have such a high premium.. for literally the same thing as a cheaper equivalent.

That build quality isn't anything to laugh at, though it does cost a bit too much for that.

But if all you care is specs and not the build quality, a lot of that money is wasted just on buying the apple brand.

Buying PC and Buying Apple is not the same.

I own both respectively, so if farebear doesn't want to relearn how to use the OS, buy a chrome book or a Lenovo.

Oh god, I recently got out of that loop once I couldn't handle all that time taken to platinum a single RPG. The last game I platinumed was tales of symphonia, I felt like I was mentally breaking down

You could wipe a Macbook and drop another OS on it, but most people don't want to mess with that.

In general, my brand recommendation is always ASUS. My favorite hardware manufacturer by far.

Well i'm comparing them in terms of hardware, software they're totally different. You can argue the special customization apple does to their laptop's inner and outer design is worth comparing.

I'm not familiar at all with the Mac OS, but either way I'll have to be learning a new OS since most new laptops have Windows 8.1 anyway.

If it wasn't apparent from my multiple failed attempts to download steam, I have no clue how to go backwards in OS. Unless its just as simple as buying windows 7 and downloading it.
