Why were people complaining about this game before it came out? It's bloody fantastic.
people didn't like the graphics and were skeptical about the melee counter

This is exactly why Verb wants us all dead
Verbatim wants everyone dead because he isn't happy with his life.
nah, all things considered, my life is pretty all right most of my life's biggest issues are my own fault and a result of poor use of time and resources it's life itself that i'm not happy with

Falkner's gonna have to wait, I think. After clearing Sprout Tower, I decided that, since my entire team is below level 10 anyway, I may as well try to see if I can't beat Falkner with a team of level 9s. The strongest Pokémon on his team is a Pidgeotto, and it's also level 9 (even though Pidgey isn't supposed to evolve until level 18). So, from this point on, I'm officially imposing a level cap for each gym, which will be the level of the strongest Pokémon on the leader's team. That should keep me from being too overpowered. That said, I'm not interested in ensuring any of my Pokémon a certain death, so I'm still gonna try to play it safe. The reason I'm not fighting Falkner right now is because I'm fresh out of Berries, which will probably help me immensely, since they provide instant healing without taking a whole turn—but they only regrow on trees once per day. I can also only get two of them. It may seem silly, but honestly, I think not picking them when I have the opportunity to do tomorrow so would be a huge mistake from a strategic standpoint. I'm already intentionally gimping myself by imposing a level limit, and I don't want anyone to die due to my own impatience, so I'm okay with waiting it out for now. That said, I did at least clear Sprout Tower, like I mentioned. As I planned, I waited until nighttime to catch my Gastly, which did end up in my party, but only after throwing four Poké Balls. The first female in the party, I decided to name her Blair, both after Bloody Mary (bit of a semi-portmanteau) and the Blair Witch Project. She'll never be a Gengar, but I'm already glad to have her on the team. Ghost-types are invaluable for their resistance to Normal-type moves and such, even if her attacks are kind of weak at the moment. I would've been much saltier if I wound up with another Rattata, since there's only a 15% chance of finding one vs. Gastly's 85%. Training Gastly is interesting, too—she can't get hurt my Normal-type moves, but she can't hurt Normal-types, either. This will make her a sitting duck vs. anything like Pidgey or Hoothoot, since her only attacking move (Lick) is a Ghost-type move. At least she's good at fighting all those Bellsprout in the tower. The final Sage in Sprout Tower has this level 10 Hoothoot that kind of gave me a run for my money. It landed two critical hits in a row on Bram (which was mostly his own fault, because he just kept missing his Supersonics...) but he and everyone else still made it out okay. The rest of my session was spent contemplating what I was gonna do about Falkner. Quill is resilient, but his only attack at the moment is Tackle, which is quite weak. He'll get bullied by Pidgeotto. Rattaboy is fast and strong, but his low Defense stat will be the death of him against Pidgeotto. Bram's Supersonic is really good... when it works. Half the time, it doesn't work at all. Dangerous and risky. Patches is Pidgeotto food. He'll see no use in the fight whatsoever if everything goes as it should. Blair is fast and can maybe put something to sleep if she's lucky, but it's still a gamble. She can't hurt anything either way. So, yeah, I'm definitely gonna pick up those two Berries. Quill, Rattaboy, and maybe Bram will have to carry me to victory. I also found an X Defend in Sprout Tower, which will probably come in handy. I'm not worried about losing the fight, or anything—it's a 5v2 fight, so I'm practically guaranteed to win. I just want to make sure everyone makes it out alive, 'cause death isn't cool.

There's nothing wrong with emulating old games
Yes there is, especially if they were just rereleased (like Pokémon Gold/Silver).
Why should you buy the remaster (or whatever this is I don't care about Pokémon) instead of emulating it?
Because then you'd be a thief and a bad person. You're not supporting the company that produced the game, and you no longer have the excuse of "it's an old game that they're not profiting from anymore."
But they're just rehashing an old game. I don't really see how they deserve the money that badly.
They're not just rehashing an old game. They're putting it on a modern device with newer and more reliable technology that's less likely to fail on you. The games I'm talking about are so old, they were on these big cartridges that had little batteries inside of them that are only designed to last a few years before they burn out. Once it burns out, you can no longer save your game anymore and it's basically just worthless.
Replacing these batteries is expensive and dangerous, because it requires you to know how to use a soldering iron if you want to do the job right, and even if you still have a working battery, it's gonna die again eventually and there's no way to transfer your Pokémon to newer generations like you can with every subsequent game. Gold/Silver were the only generation of Pokémon games up until now that didn't let you do that, because there wasn't a way to connect a Game Boy to a Game Boy Advance.
Re-releasing the games on 3DS solves all of these problems.
They're also only $10 and if you can't spare that much for such an excellent game, you're really just a pathetic waste of skin.
So after paying for the game and being boned by substandard technology, you're gonna buy it again? Why not emulate it?
Not "substandard" technology, outdated technology.
Because it's a fucking amazing game that Game Freak deserves billions of dollars for making.
I'd buy both versions 30 more times.
I don't emulate games ever because I'm not a piece of shit.
Seems like a lot of fanboying tbb. It's substandard technology to have it run on batteries that aren't easily replaceable.
Not if they last nearly a decade. People weren't even 100% sure video games would still be around in that long.
I know you're slightly stupid, but come on.
So they planned for failure and the industry collapsing within a decade?
Welcome to reality.
And yes, they do deserve money. I'll buy 100 copies every day.
But the video game industry is thriving and my Sega Dreamcast and all my old games still work perfectly.
woah and y2k didn't happen to sometimes people are wrong woah

And EVEN THEN, you're just helping my point. Even if I admitted it was shitty technology (completely ignoring the time period), that's all the more reason to purchase the game on a device that has vastly improved technology that's sure to last several decades, if not longer. It was a $50 game in 2000, and it's $10 now. It probably should be $5 or $6, but honestly, the game is so damn good I would've paid $50 again for it. I'll proudly pay $50 to relive some of my best childhood memories while supporting one of my favorite developers.

On top of all that, emulating games means I have to play it on a PC.
And playing games on a PC is just the worst shit in the world.
consoles use emulators to run older titles too.
Yeah, and that's how I'm playing Pokémon Silver.
but i don't know what your point is
that you don't have to be on a pc to emulate games
But that's the cheapest and most common way, so I don't really care about anything else. It's irrelevant.

No, because Bungie added split screen to Halo on purpose. It's playing a game with friends, not charging people to use a section of your TV to play Halo. single player game, then is it wrong to play a single player game at a friend's house You did, but whatever.

« on: September 23, 2017, 01:15:01 PM »
I believe the artist should get 100% of the money, but the world just doesn't work that way. Game rentals are absolutely immoral, the developer is definitely being cheated out of sales. is it also immoral to head over to a friend's house and play split-screen halo with them if only one person owns the game Also you can't say you don't care about sales and then say the developer is owed sales.
which is why i didn't i never said they were owed sales

But the developer still isn't getting money and if anything game rentals do affect sales. Plenty of people used to rent short games instead of buying them. Pretty sure the developer never sees a dime from the multiple rentals.
i don't give a single fuck about what affects sales, at all i don't care if it negatively affects sales or positively affects sales i have no interest in that whatsoever, i just don't give a shit what i care about is giving artists compensation for their work, and if you want to argue that renting games is immoral, then that's an idea that i'm open to

But it's you guys who are wrong.
Piracy isn't a bad thing.
is what what it looks like when challengerX completely gives up
That's all piracy is about. Sales. If it doesn't impact sales, where's the harm? It doesn't sit well with you morally? Who cares lmao
Intelligent people.
Don't you get tired of saying the same dumb shit every time you back yourself into a corner?
what corner am i backed into
your corner is "i don't care about morality because i'm a worthless nihilistic cunt"
my "corner" is "i care about morality because i actually consider myself slightly intelligent and i try to be a good person"
who wins
How is it immoral if it isn't harming anyone?
What gives you the moral right to use products that you haven't paid for?
I asked first
Because nothing gives you the moral right to use products that you haven't paid for.

It's theft.
That 300 page study says otherwise.
Taking something that costs money without paying is still theft whether it affects sales or not.
It doesn't cost money.
So it's free?
So why the fuck would you pirate it?
It's not physical. It wasn't sold to gamestop for it to then be sold there etc.
This is the point. Piracy isn't destroying game sales like everybody (especially you) acts like it is.
It's either free or it isn't.
I've never once acted like piracy destroys sales and I've conceded several times over the past five years that it doesn't affect sales at all.
Because it doesn't fucking MATTER.
That's all that matters.
Nope. People should be directly compensated for their art if that's what they're asking for. You're a bad person.
I'm more than happy to pay the artist directly for their work, as well as producers and distributors.
If people want to download a game or a movie however, it's not the end of the world. Not even close.
Am I saying it's the end of the world, or am I saying it's wrong?
Did you just admit that it's wrong?
How is it wrong? The developer is still making fat stacks
Because they're still owed money regardless of how many fat stacks they're making. If a developer doesn't give a shit, then that's big of them. But they're still owed money.

You might as well say game rental places engage in daily theft.
Except that's completely different because game rental places are providing a legitimate service. They're a legal business. Pirates are not legal business owners.
Sounds like a racket to me. They buy a game once and then make profit off of that one copy multiple times?
If you think renting games should be illegal, that's fine—I don't see a problem with them, because someone bought one copy of a game to share with others for a limited time and fee. But someone paid for the one game. Whereas pirates illegally produce more copies of the game and that's what makes them pieces of shit.
