Being extremely powerful and unchallenged automatically removes fun. Have we learned nothing from Saitama?

@Edu23XWiiU Look back up at the region this list is for.

@illmatic20xx Persona 5 is a modern JRPG Masterpiece. It's wonderful that more people might get to play it on their system of choice. Why on Earth would you be so callous as to deny them that opprotunity? That's quite a narcissistic attitude to have.

@PBandSmelly Historicallly cartoons subtly cater towards an adult crowd. For decades a lot of the wit of a show (Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Batman the Animated Series, etc.) would fly right over the head of a child, and that was intentional. Pokemon is no exception in this regard.

@Rika_Yoshitake Anti-SJWs are just as bad, if not worse. Then again, I'm a Christian, one of the original SJWs.

Media like this distorts the human perception of what sex is. Something that is a mutual act gets turned into a one-way selfish act forced upon others.

@Dilated Jesus says that the world being that way is sinful, and those that look down at others trying to make their way with contempt instead of compassion will be turned away from him. You are making a mistake by treating others like this, a grievous one.

@NotTelevision ALttP was pretty much just keys and switches tbe lol

@Coffee_Drinker Sure he is. It just takes a good filmmaker that understands the character. What is the DOOM Slayer? Someone blessed by a Seraphim to never die and boast incredible strength. Who does he hunt? Demons.

All you have to do is make a movie from the perspective of the demons, and then make the DOOM Slayer a horror/slasher monster equivalent. Suddenly the mystery and lack of characterisation he has besides his wrath is no longer a problem.

@StevenG Maybe 10 years ago, but modern LEGO is serious about its MOCing community, and thus all parts they've released lately have multiple functions. Very rarely do they make one-off molds, and that's only if a specific purpose absolutely must be fulfilled. Also, this type of quality is common in the IDEAS line.

Resident Evil 2 [Claire B] (PS4), Pokemon Y (3DS), Dark Souls Remastered (Switch), Ni No Kuni II (PS4)

@Hughesy This is straight up false. Pokemon had always been relatively challenging up until gen 6. You can absolutely notice the challenge drop off, and interviews with the devs showcase this. USUM brought difficulty back up to Black and White levels, which was appreciated.

Saying Pokemon has never been difficult is a lie. It's not back breaking by any means, but it used to be a bit of a challenge all the same. I've never been defeated by Diantha, I still get defeated occasionally by Cynthia.

I didn't see walking Pokemon, which upsets me because the Switch has the capability, they finished assets for all gen 1-7 Pokemon in SuMo, and showed that they just have to port it over by using the same assets in Let's GO!

Stop removing features Game Freak. Also, I noticed them addressing the casual crowd first and foremost, which makes me scared that they aren't going to make main series games as difficult as 1-5 for the hardcore audience despite having a series for casuals to follow separate from the main series games.

It wasn't very good imo. I don't like platformers, and a lot of the games shown are things I've bought on other platforms. All that interests me from what was shown is Zelda (and I really don't think the artstyle fits the game they're remaking), FF7, and Fire Emblem. Zelda is likely coming out in the last half of the year, and Fire Emblem was delayed. That means the only thing that is even slightly interesting on the Nintendo side for me this spring is FFVII.

The PS4 has good games coming out this spring though, so I'll just focus on that system right now until Nintendo actually starts releasing a wider variety of real big hitters this fall.

@Heavyarms55 The only thing that's going downhill is how shareholders and investors have ruined the climate of gaming, pushing companies to continuously grow beyond their growth capacity and produce sales they can't achieve, which has led most AAA games to be infested with scummy microtransactions.

I'd love nothing more than for this type greed to die out in the industry, because I want to go back to a time where games were quality products.

@Lemmy_the_Koopa Exactly. This is why oppose the digital age. I want to buy a game and always have it, or at least have easy access to it through prepared markets when they are no longer in production.

@AxeltheBuizel Whomever downvoted you is lacking in the humor department lol

@Bass_X0 Right, everyone in the world has the console that sold poorly and couldn't even properly advertise itself, very logical statement there. /s

@Mopati Giving credit and citing proper sources =/= Claiming something as sponsored/endorsed or official.

Could be fun, but I still wish they would release the Digital Monster v-pet out here in the west.

Black and White were the best, and then the series went downhill afterwards.

@Dan_Dan Censorship is necessary for major cultural differences, especially for games targeted at children. Children shouldn't be exposed to characters in skimpy outfits, and adults don't need that either.

@Silly_G All of us should bend over backwards for strangers, because it's what's right. Actual love is about sacrifice, and we should love every single person. What you don't do for the least of these you haven't done for my brother. If someone has the resources to do something for others, then they SHOULD do it for others, because that's what we're told to do.

@Anti-Matter N-i-n-t-e-n-d-o? That's a funny way to spell Sony, which is dominating the market.

@Dramlin The models and animations in GO are from the 3DS games. Isn't it better to know what you're talking about BEFORE you start ranting?

Oh thank goodness they changed Surge's gym. That place might as well have had a slot machine instead of the trash cans, because there really was no way to win the "puzzle" through intelligence. It was all chance based.

Bring back story mode. :/

@Bolt_Strike Digimon evolutions are permenant outside of the anime (which has lore reasons for why they're temporary). Digimon is the boy-targeted version of Tamagotchi. All of the "evolutions" are actually just growth development stages. That's why the forms go from: Baby II -> Baby I -> Child -> Adult -> Perfect -> Ultimate.

@Kienda Sorry. It is a year old though.

@Equinox So it's automatically bad because it has a female protagonist that's a clone of a scientist that worked on the Horizon Zero Dawn project so that life could go on after extinction?

There's literally no "feminist" or "SJW" agenda in the game! At this point you're just being misogynistic because the main character is female, and to you that instantly means "OMG SJW!!" You're teetering real close to hate speech. Have you not heard it said "love your neighbor", or "love others as I have loved you"? Truly I say to you, if your heart is filled with contempt and malice, then you are no different from what is wrong in the world. Take a deep look within yourself, and fill your cup with what is right and stop poisoning yourself with thoughts of malice. That which you feel for others shall be written on your heart as well. Eventually, all hearts are judged based on what is written on them.

@ReaderRagfish I'd rather games not go out of their way to thwart any chance of a busy adult sitting down with them and making actual progress. Challenge is find, punishing is a waste. This is also a series made for children. There are other JRPGs out there for challenge lovers, such as SMT and Persona.

@Regpuppy I'm not sure why they don't port them atm, but the main team is working on a new Digimon Story entry that hasn't been announced yet.

@Regpuppy Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory were really good!

@Krisi You apparently haven't done any proper research in order to make an informed opinion in the subject, instead you've just read clickbait headlines fueled by knee-jerk reactions.

Here's the mechanic in Let's Go! that ends up changed: wild encounters. That's it. Everything else is your typical Pokemon JRPG. It's not even dumbed down. Wild battles and catching has always been redundantly easy. At least now they're a lot more interactive and lack the monotony of random encounters. That's a GOOD thing, just like throwing HMs away was a good idea. People like you are the reason the franchise has stagnated and is starting to turn stale. Gameplay variety is a GOOD thing!

@Saego The stats are traditional. "CP" in Let's GO! is only a visual aid for newcomers that aren't used to JRPG leveling systems or stats. The actual stat system from prior entries is still there. Also, if we're going to be pedantic, then every remake that introduces one-time features should also be considered spin-offs, but they're not, because they have the main-line core series patented catching, battling, trading JRPG system. Let's GO also has all of that, ergo, it's a core game.

@Equinox Do you always have to get political?

Regardless of a news outlets beliefs or leanings, all of them should have the equal opportunity to cover a story. If you dislike certain biases then you should have no problem avoiding or discerning them for yourself. It's not like you lack biases in your own beliefs.

@ReaderRagfish Does it matter? If even 12% of units shipped out are defective, that's still unacceptable from a quality control standpoint. Asking people to pay almost half the price of a new console to fix a mistake they're responsible for is ludicrous.

@Rayquaza2510 I don't even know why your Pokemon would be so overleveled, considering I DID grind/take my time with every source of exp and came out of the league with my Pokemon at around 57-60

Why were you using the lucky egg if you wanted standard gameplay? Everyone knows the lucky egg gives you more experience and that starters gain experience faster than most Pokemon. The only way I can see you being level 70+ is if you're the type to use one of your Pokemon more than the others, which is weird because most people try to keep their team at an equal level and switch starting positions constantly.

Gen 7 has flaws, but those flaws (compared to past games) have nothing to do with a lack of standard difficulty or above. That flaw belongs to Gen 6.

@Rayquaza2510 WAT. X and Y were the most barebones, easy entries in the franchise, and you're saying SuMo/USUM were the easy ones? Sure there was a tutorial phase that was longer than it needed to be, but the experience gained from battles with the exp.share on was lessened dramatically, they reintroduced the Black and White experience gain system that gave you less and less the stronger you were than your opponent, and they even gave "boss" Pokemon instant stat buffs, better AI, and specific tactics that would crush the player if they didn't have a clear strategy.

What's the big deal?

@bratzdoll Excuse me, some of us in the world love parenting. Don't take that away from us just because you don't like talking care of little ones.

Not to be a pessimist, but shouldn't they wait until they have major titles to advertise before going big on it?

This title is misleading.

@DarthFoxMcCloud So now we consider remakes with new features spin-offs?

@BARSAMAN This argument no longer holds ground. It fit perfectly in your pockets with the original model. Thing is, people preferred the bigger screen models over the portable sizes models. It's why the standard n3DS never came over while the XL did. The majority prefer function over portability, that's what statistics have shown.

@Pikachupwnage The problem is that so many of us have moved on from the 3DS that important releases like Metroid: Samus Returns and the Luigi's Mansion remake are things we want to play, but just can't get around to. If the 3DS had a successor that had better resolution and post processing features that could make 3DS games at least look smooth (no more jaggies or pixelated models) then everything would be fine.

@Pikachupwnage Let me turn that around on you, because that line of thinking is flawed. "Oh no, how will the poor Switch owners survive not having quirky vacuum centric gameplay mechanics when they are getting completely unrelated genres like a fighting game, a platformer, a strategic JRPG, a monster collecting JRPG, another platform, a fps etc."

That's like saying "Stop complaining about not getting this racing game that appeals to you, you should be happy you're getting this popular puzzle game that's nothing like the genre you like!"

Like... what...?

Stop supporting this system. It's bad enough that Luigi's Mansion is being remade on it and not the Switch. I can't handle the 3DS' incredibly subpar resolution anymore. I love the system, but the resolution just kills it for me in 2018.

You've made a hybrid console, yet you refuse to focus solely on it. I understand the business sense in continuing support for something that makes bank, but I also believe in putting all resources towards something that'll be guaranteed to perform even better in the future. I hate the idea of support stagnation.

@Spectra Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

fite me

@Sanangelo89 Digimon was made by Bandai/Namco as a male oriented V-pet similar to their successful Tomagachi line. It then went on to produce the first Digimon World title, which combined V-pet and JRPG. The anime came after this, and while it unfortunately came out too close to Pokemon' s popularity, watching it will quickly help anyone to understand that it was different on a core level.

Pokemon is about catching, collecting, and tournaments.

Digimon is about bonding with one partner (sometimes two, rarely more than that), spending your time raising them from a child to an adult and beyond, and usually also has a centralized goal that needs accomplished. An imminent threat and a conclusion to each story arc.

I guess the reason people like to debate stems from their names, but that confusion comes from how Japanese media was localised back in the '90s. When you spell them out completely: "Pocket Monster" "Digital Monster" It then becomes more obvious that they're two literal concepts pushed together to create a name. This is common with Japanese name creation.

I want another Sonic Riders. :/

@Snaplocket Persona 5 is a lot more polished and player friendly than Persona 4. The UI, music, and gameplay are so organically integrated with each other that this masterpiece deserved a lot more rewards than it got.

@Anti-Matter Honestly, by now people should realize that buying third party add-ons is always a risk.
