Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Well, I have been doing a lot of daily/ weekly quests & various others that aren't the main story, @NotTelevision .... I'm trying to focus a bit more on that, now but it's definitely huge

Speaking about Japanese foods, here in Indonesia there was a Japanese menu set for McDonald.

We have white burger bun with black sesame seeds sprinkled on it.

I was wondering when did Pokemon Go start giving free daily item packs, but turns out I somehow got added to a test group they're using to test that feature.

My brother got added to group to test the daily guaranteed Pokemon encounter.

That's cool.

@Anti-Matter That's not Japanese food. That's McDonald's very poor attempt at Japanese stereotypical food. lol That's not even close to yakiniku. And trust me, yakiniku is absolutely delicious and everyone should try it if they like beef!

@Eel Neat. I saw the message about it, but at least as of this morning I don't think I got into either group. What did you and your brother get?

@Heavyarms55 well, so far I've received two free item boxes from the shop, they contained pokeballs, berries, and medicine, in small quantities. Let's say, something similar to spinning a pokestop or two.

I didn't get any sort of notice or message to tell me, I just saw the free box sitting there in the shop.

My brother was utterly confused since he did not take the time read the message from professor Willow, but judging from the details on the news article, he got a special incense that can be used to attract one Pokemon every day.

He said he'd test it tomorrow.

@Eel Huh, sounds like they're trying to make it easier for people who live in the middle of no where but somehow still have a cell phone signal, to play the game. Couldn't hurt.

Lols at MacDonald's doing Japanese food .... I'm hardly an expert but I don't think that looks very Japanese!

It looks pretty edible though!

Speaking about EA's treatment to Nintendo recently, i think it's very clear the situation is much like on Cinderella scene.

EA to Nintendo: Now mark my words.
You shall not have the great games as Playstation and Xbox have !

@Eel I don’t play nearly enough to get accepted into trial groups!

@Anti-Matter Thank you soooooo much for remembering Drizella and Anastasia’s names!

@BabyYoshi12 Well, if a game's initial objectives have been reached, then there literally IS nothing to do, and being able to play through it four times because of various endings doesn't really change any of that, because it necessitates starting over four times as well, meaning all the coins and stuff will also be back.

But, in all those four playthroughs, once you have reached that point of finishing the collect-a-thon, it's once again basically just running around in an objective-less world, so I don't see Super Mario Odyssey as a game in which you can do everything. Sure, you can keep running and jumping around like a headless chicken, but seeing as you've already grabbed all the coins or whatever, there is no sensible point to it, which actually IS the case in Breath of the Wild.

But having said that, I do understand the liking one game more than another game, but I was simply trying to line out the differences, and why BotW is a VERY worthwhile experience, regardless of its minor niggles. It was not a slight on Animal Crossing at all, if that was how it came across.

And of course, "being able to go everywhere" is within the confines of the game, obviously, so yeah, you couldn't leave Hyrule, but that's the ENTIRE world that the characters live in, and you CAN, for all intent and purposes, go ANYWHERE within that world, whereas previously mentioned, in ACNH, you already find within the first few moments of the game, that you can't even climb/walk across the first rock that you walk into at the beach.

Mind you: I do really like Animal Crossing, but personally, I would have liked it, if I could truly walk all around my island in any way I wanted to, and not just by hopping streams/ditches in-land, to get to the other parts of the beach. In real life, I also love to stroll along the beach, and I'd be pretty pissed if I couldn't get past a piece of rock that isn't even knee-high...

@Tyranexx Illuminati? Hell, no. I despise those people, almost just as much as those Scientology freaks.
If I really was a Mad Titan, I'd already have snapped them out of existence a LONG time ago...

@Anti-Matter Sorry to burst your bubble, but everybody except you already knew that there wasn't even a remote chance that EA was going to release a Sims game on the Switch. You can keep dreaming, but it's just not going to happen. You're only setting yourself up for disappointment every time, which is something that you shouldn't want to do to yourself.

So, don't keep your hopes up for a Sims Switch Edition, and just play the older games on other systems, and be happy you can still enjoy those.

@ThanosReXXX Did you watch the video? Watch it and come back because it has nothing to do with restarting the game- you finish the main objective and you go back and collect all the power moons. The Metro Kingdom in itself has a lot of things to do.

@ThanosReXXX
About The Sims 4 game, since last year during EA presentation i realized EA didn't even give a chance for Nintendo Switch to get The Sims 4. Instead, they add more Expansion pack Island Living for both PS4 and Xbox One. At that point i felt brokenheart, all the hopes for The Sims 4 on Nintendo Switch has gone. After brokenheart, i ultimately decided to buy some DLC for my The Sims 4 PS4 and started to embrace my PS4 Slim existence after i treated my PS4 Slim with half hearted feeling (i was still salty with PS4 before June 2019). After i bought some DLC, i changed my mind how do i deal with consoles. I felt stupid to felt salty with my PS4 before as matter of fact i bought some PS4 games before April 2018 when i bought PS4 slim White 500 GB on 1st April 2018. I chose White color as my effort to get the Best color for my purchase and to realize if i wasn't care at all with PS4 i could ended up by chose Black color instead as the ugliest color. Now, i have embraced both Sony and Nintendo machines, i have rewritten my PS4 games list with new list (i add more new games and revived some titles that i have sold as my anger toward PS4 before). At this point i don't mind if some games are still exclusive to one machine and not get ported to Nintendo machine since i have the machines i need, i can take a chance by consider the games i want regardless of the version. PS4 or Switch version, doesn't matter at all as long i still able to play the games. After i embraced my PS4 slim, i expanded more my collection by bought PS3 machine on 29 December 2019. I quickly built my PS3 games library during early 2020 like i have no ill will anymore with Sony. But of course my Sony games are still safe for kids and Teen, no adult games at all. PS5 has been revealed with some 1st party and 3rd party games from the trailer and i have registered three PS5 games for my next purchase (Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, Astro's Playroom and Planet Coaster).

@BabyYoshi12 I 100% super Mario odyssey on the first week of release. I can tell you there really is only one ending, Mario saves the princess. 😉

The rest is unlocking small extras like harder bowser battle. Cap on top of the mushroom kingdom. Dark moon. Etc

@1UP_MARIO Well, the same can be said about BotW. When you beat the main story, the rest is all just finishing the extra jobs. In Odyssey, when you beat the main story, the rest is just going back and collecting the power moons.

Well Im curious to see how EA is going to do this

@BabyYoshi12 yupp. Same with most 2d and 3d Marios

@1UP_MARIO So, they’re the same.

@BabyYoshi12 no they both have endings but BOTW has more to do as it’s has a bigger world and more quests more memories to catch to get more stories about the champions and then there is the expansion pass. Both must have switch games.
