Re: Niantic Addresses Pokémon GO's Removal of 3-step Display and Third-Party App Access

Dave24

So instead of fixing something, they remove it. Good job I guess. It must have taken a huge amount of effort.

It's funny they say this "did not meet our underlying product goals" after one month. If it didn't, shouldn't it be dumped sooner?

This "game" is souless cash grab and I can see drop in interest when more and more people will get beyond level 10 and taking notice that pokemons get harder and harder to get, so they can gladly tak your money for berries and greatballs.

Re: ​Reggie Fils-Aime on Why the Wii U Was Misunderstood

Dave24

Even Nintendo themselves misunderstood it, but to me it was beyond idiotic to release the console and do nothing, just sit on your butt and wait for the money.

So far NX sets up to repeat the mistake. March date looks pretty stupid, because on christmas and black friday they will miss their customers, who will buy consoles from competition and they will be busy with their games.

You can blame the name, Nintendo being confused by their own creation, but it could be something diffrent.

Wii U had to bomb, sadly. Even marketing couldn't help. Nintendo was on downward spiral with console sales since N64, Wii sold really well, because it was also aimed at casuals. With U they wanted to go back to gamers and casuals (hence the name) and combine the 2 worlds, but it turned out playerbase did not grow by much since cube, casuals come and go like usual, and the Wii hurt them badly with unrealistic expectations.

Re: Poll: The Nintendo NX - Where Do You Stand on the Future of Nintendo?

Dave24

If they won't change their attitude, it will bomb just like U. While U had many great exclusives (in my opinion, best since snes days), what doomed them was Wii and their approach to customer and borderline idiotic plan for U itself, being no marketing and just milk the Wii and they had no idea what they wanted to do with the gimmick of U.
Now they suffer the consequences. If they won't change, history will repeat itself and no amount of "prese understand" and promises will help them.

Also it's sad there is no option for used NX in the poll.

Re: Review: New Adventure Island (Wii U / TG-16)

Dave24

Personally, I liked the ones with riding dinosaurs cards more.
That rock/paper/scissors comparison reminded me of Alex Kidd in Miracle World. It was cancer in that game.

Anyway, can we consider New Adventure Island a series, when in reality it's only a "remake"/port of the original? I would say it's part of AI, not New.

Re: Review: Ziggurat (Wii U eShop)

Dave24

Better than Lichdom Battlemage.

The biggest problem of this game is that it's short and there is not that much content, even though levels are randomly generated.

Re: ​Darksiders is Coming to Wii U

Dave24

It's pretty stupid they released remaster of 2 before 1. I guess there is nothing better than playing games out of order.

I liked 1 better, because it didn't try to be RPG as bad as Darksiders 2 did. Although the world map was also annoying.

I hope that someday we will get 3, because those were breedy gut games

Re: Two Men Sentenced Over 2015 Pokémon World Championships Gun Threats

Dave24

What unlawful possesion of guns in USA even means? Isn't firearm ownership and all the things associated with that debated and controversial to this day?

Also gj reporting news about pokemon go, guise! You reported that Nintendo is worth more than Sony, but didn't report it dropped below Sony the very same day:-)

Re: Japanese Launch Of Pokémon GO Delayed Due To McDonald's Email Leak

Dave24

@Damo so that crunch with original date with starbucks uncle source was press release?
I actually read those stories out of curiosity - both source is from starbucks and they say BS about 'delay' to fit their stories. According to Forbes interview, the guy only said July and nothing about supposed delay.

I could miss something, because firefox on phone sucks hard, but that's what I got from those 2 stories.

Re: Japanese Launch Of Pokémon GO Delayed Due To McDonald's Email Leak

Dave24

Meh, a rumor that turned out to be not true kept alive by another one.
It doesn't even make sense, because they didn't gave a single crap about servers day one, so why care now?

Also, change of date between 2 companies this big is not that simple and sure as hell wouldn't announce delay the day it's supposed to be released.

Re: Pokémon Go Fans Share Experiences of the App Improving Their Mental Health

Dave24

@SetupDisk
So you say horrbile comparison, and then repeat after me. Indeed horrible.

"Physical activity alone is part of most therapy for depression"
I would not say that, because it can end up as complete bs. I would rather say dependent on country. I don't know about US for sure, but in EU in some countries most treatments are pills and not activity.

Re: Unwanted Side-Effects Of Pokémon GO Include Robbery, Personal Injury And Dangerous Driving

Dave24

Except that Missouri incident ehich shows human scum, rest are not because of Pokemon Go as many would love to believe, but because of botomless stupidity and irresponsibility.

The kids feeling pain from icreased activity is not less dramatic, it's sad and wake up call that kids should not be parented by tv and as much as Nintendo loves that image by them, but parents/family, because if you leave kids to tv, them bideo gaemz, we will soon see the end, not to games, but lives and civilization.
