  1. I also don't understand the statement. It doesn't lose value just cuz you're not the one who made it, I was just curious if that was the case, since the history would be a bit more interesting to me in that case.
  2. I voted a 7 because I let my wife take the reigns on this one. I however would have given them a 3 or 4, all their songs sound the same except for the one song they're known for (at least as far as I'm aware) - Wonderwall. And that song annoys me.
  3. When I was a kid I was babysat for a while by a very religious woman who wouldn't let me play ANYTHING with ANYTHING RESEMBLING killing. She told me I had to consider the men inside the tanks, whom I was murdering. She wouldn't let me play Battlezone.
  4. Lol nah, I've never had any difficulty, I just have a hard time with the fairly repetitive gameplay loop. Especially with the Persona series. The whole school day / inside mind world cycle gets tiring for me.
  5. I can never seem to actually finish a Shin Megami Tensei game lol.
  6. Me to my dreams of having a pinball and arcade basement:
  7. Were you going for terrifying? Cuz you nailed it lol. EDIT: I posted this prior to checking the comment on YT. Was not disappointed.
  8. It was close enough that I got it at least lol.
  9. Vous savez sacrément bien ce que je veux dire!
  10. How on earth would Canada count as European!?!?
  11. Fair enough. Specifically, the Let's Go games are really remakes of Yellow version. Same basic game, different visuals. Not that it's a big deal, play Let's Go all you want, just pointing out that those games bear the same base as some of the best games in the series, the originals.
  12. Let's Go Eevee is just Pokemon Red/Blue though, yeah? So it's still at least based on a well structured game. There's the new Pokémon Legends: Arceus coming out next: https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/ It looks like a PS2 game. Actually, let's not insult the PS2, I've been playing a fair bit of PS2 lately and it generally looks better than this. Graphics aside, I just have no faith based on the last like, 3 core games, that they'll do anything decent with it. I mean at least with Black and White 4 gens ago they tried something different by putting story first.
  13. My experience with "rich Saudis" (through PlayStation trophy hunting) is that they really tend not to give a shit about the method, only the appearance. I was acquainted with some of the most prominent trophy sellers in the world and they sold thousands and thousands of PSN trophies to these people for extreme prices; typically they'd just buy the "get me as many trophies as possible bundle", which meant many many Japanese visual novels being added to their accounts to just boost the numbers. I could totally see one of them buying a cart-only N64 set in UGCs, not really giving a shit about what that actually means. "Are these real carts, that will run on a real Nintendo?" "Yes" "And the cases, they look nice?" "Yes" "I'll take them"
  14. New games, that is. I'll always have fond memories of the first two generations, and I'll definitely replay those games. I still need to get around to the 3rd gen. I didn't have a GBA until way late so I basically skipped that era of handheld games until I got a DS. Heck, I have a tattoo featuring Gastly and its evolutions (Haunter is my favorite Pokemon). But the spark is long gone. Not for me personally, but the company making the mainline games at least, the series is completely lacking in every way. Playing through Sword/Shield made it more clear than ever, the quality is in the absolute dumps; Sword was easily one of THE WORST RPGs I've ever played. I was looking at upcoming games (in general) today and was reminded of the re-release of Diamond/Pearl and I kinda realized - the only excitement I could possibly get from Pokemon is from them re-releasing a game I already own! I'll just play the original! Anyway, bit of a rant, and a good chunk of the site is a bit older than me and wasn't grabbed by the Pokemon craze in the 90's, but I was right there in the thick of it and it had a lasting impact on me. It's gone to show however that nostalgia alone really can't keep a passion alive. Anyone else in the same boat, or otherwise have any thoughts or feelings on the place Pokemon has come to?
