I always thought selling two games that were practically the same while targeting kids to catch em all was sleazy. I always thought blind card packs were sleazy. To the sycophants, those are *actual "grifts."
I used to hear people say that the two game BS was so people could trade, and then I ran a Game Crazy for seven years. It wasn't in a great part of town, and the Pokémon "kids" would almost always get both, either on the same trip or weeks apart.
It's a sleazy, grifting series that can't even manage to keep up with the standards of the PS2.
Since thats my avatar next to this, its my opinion. I dont care what you have to say about it.

@Sylamp exactly what I was thinking.

I think musuo games are embarrassing, especially when they are skinned with series that otherwise have integrity.

@HalBailman People celebrating this news here are leaving out that the sentiment among a lot of the people "whinging" is that Pokémon fans will buy anything, regardless of quality.
Not sure it's the win you guys seem to think it is.
...lol.

@Cathalm what does "grifter" mean in this context? Genuinely not sure what you are getting at.

I guess i dont really know what these are for...considering I dont even know where to get them, lol.

@rgbobs try Wizorb some time. It's by Tribute, and really cool.

Ion Fury, and Unsighted. Maybe some AC Shadows but at 20 hours things are really dragging.

I almost picked this up last night but ended up grabbing Ion Fury Aftershock and Unsighted. Cause woke af. Having a great time with both.
Anyway! Grabbing this. Love the super scaler look.

@Elektrogeist1287 yeah this one was it for me. 76 was just the piss on the tombstone.

Hey look its where Fallout died.

So no new track? Were people just lying when they said each dlc character would get a new track?

@Vyacheslav333 I feel like Steambot Chronicles is analogous to this game's locale. Singular. The one place in this game.
Ahem, anyway! That PS2 game outclassed this in every way.

Yes. It's a bad game.

I think its another embarrassing, low-effort cash in from Gamefreak. That won't be changing any time soon.

@Dee123 dude its even worse, cause now Sonic fans try to act like Unleashed was this rad game.

Ew, gross, why???
They locked up Yuji Naka for creating Sonic, while Rouge the Bat is still out there making kids into Sonic Sickos...

I missed Ducktales 2. Im not sure I've ever seen that one irl. Fun though.

Damn yall dudes dont know Itagaki passed away?

Speaking of our legends...sigh...Tomonobu Itagaki just passed away. Ugh.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant I had a collection from my first NES that I got when I was four, through being a big importer during the Saturn/PS1 era, up to when I was managing a Game Crazy. My ex-wife sold all of it for $100 bucks while I was deployed in the ARMY.
EX wife.
So that's one reason I am collecting again. I missed it. But mainly I just want to give my games to my kids some day.

@CANOEberry @The_Nintendo_Pedant
With games like this, I get them digital day one then pick up a physical copy if a complete edition is released. Usually, games I am that interested in are in the $20-30 range anyway.

Hoping for a complete physical edition. Currently on Ragebound. Excellent game.

Reminds me. Need to finish Huntdown.

@Serpenterror Youngblood is trash..

@Arawn93 yeah I would much rather have the first and Old Blood on a cart.

Watched some videos and the pop-in is ATROCIOUS. I can't believe this trash.
That isn't the consoles' fault. That's them not even trying. Don't reward these hacks, dear lord!

@AussieMcBucket Worcestershire.

Hey, weird timing, amirite??? Sob.

Looks rad! Wizorb but Demon Crush? Somefin' like that.
...also Wizorb is cool. Its from Tribute, so should be assumed.

@Luigia sure thing, Robo! Your recent FPS is rad!!!

@Luigia Ragebound is much more a speed run/score chase game. I get hit once and start the level over. Shinobi is all about sporting on enemies like a character action game and has more of an emphasis on exploration. Its hard to choose one over the other, but Ragebound has been more my speed so far.

Hell to the no.

@MARl0 not only preferable, but they could do something iconic like Simlish or the BK babbling you mentioned. Pokémon doesn't feel like a world. It feels like a commercial.

A score that reflects the written review for a Pokémon game is tantamount to outright revolution. No Nidokings.
...sorry.

@BrewsterTea yes. I am fairly certain you are the ONLY person who complained about Yasuke.

@molkom sure thing! I am older and have low tolerance for things like stats anymore, so that may have something to do with it. Still think it is my fave in the series so far, but I only really like Syndicate and Origins anyway so shrug

@molkom For example, I got the game because it was $40 on PS5. I know my reasoning is silly to most, but I got it when they added the ability to wait until night. I am made of snakes that hate the sun... Anyway! I am around 16 hours in, and still haven't been able to upgrade the part of my hideout that I need to in order to wait until night. I am not a fan of colored, tiered loot either. I'd rather just get a few cool weapons and strengthen them with relics or training or new moves or whatever.
I am still having a great time. I just am not sure I will make it all the way through.

It is pretty, I like sneaking around and taking fools out, but MAN is it bloated.

@DennyCrane Could be worse. Could be the 2020s.

Looks like my kinda dumb

I ain't much for book learnin'. Some kinda foreign talk like that is how you get disappeared by ICE round here.

Ill be waiting for the complete physical edition, but just because there's too much on my plate rn.

@Astal Saturn has such a unique library. If you imported, especially.

@Jhena its AWESOME! Huge learning curve on controls, like Virtual On or Gun Valkyrie. But once it clicks it feels great and like nothing else.

@Astal I have probably said this to you before, but Astal is incredible.

@slowpoke_tail you be careful criticizing this game. You have no idea the Sonic Sickos that can be summoned to this place.

@SillyG I spend a lot of time with sixth generation. I know everyone is going to think I am being a big meanie, but Steambot Chronicles on PS2 looks better than this. I dont get it.

I don't understand why this looks so rough. Like embarrassing rough.
