Shorty

Must've used 60 odd great balls on my way in to work this morning no idea what's rare but nests have changed, walked through a park and got half a dozen Houndours. Then, just in case it's rare, doubled back away from work up a steep hill to get a Chikorita.

Somehow it didnt even occur to me how suitable those side catches are for clipping it into VR. This could be such an incredibly cheap entry into VR gaming. Google and Samsung have offerings like this that are £40-60.

I only saw one tbf, and it wasn't nearby, it just popped up on my way to work. You can get the apk now for Android and have the client side updates now (not new Pokemon, but UI, avatar changes etc)

24.5 here. Only really started playing properly in December when my job moved offices. Valentines event on right now is a good chance to stock up on Porygon and Chansey which should have gen 2 evolutions.

80 Johto Pokemon coming... this week! Along with new berries, items, avatar options etc.

I think this is mostly true for me too. But if I love the original game then it doesn't have to even do that much to win me over. Might make me a sucker but if I complete the game twice and 100% it and am just dying for an excuse to revisit that world, it'll hook me back in no matter what. Mass Effect was a good example of this. Some DLC was well fleshed out, and some short and sweet, but I enjoyed it all because I wanted any excuse to get more out of that universe and those characters.

Because it's more modern, runs fast and smooth on powerful hardware, includes trophies/achievements, supports PC mods, is a labour of love to the original title crafted by literally one developer and has an upcoming multiplayer mode. Whilst from what I can see it copies a lot straight from HM, it adds all its own personalities and character backgrounds and tightens up a tonne of mechanics and adds plenty of all new features. It's also cheaper than any Harvest Moon game and runs on non-Nintendo systems so there is that.

We need to stop pretending there's a one-size-fits-all DLC delivery method. And stop judging Nintendo until we see what the main game is like and what the DLC is like. On the one hand, you get content that's on the disk and only unlocked by pre-ordering or paying extra, this is bullshit done by the likes of CoD games, EA etc. On the other hand some developers will give you huge full sidequests that take nothing from the main adventure (but sometimes, add to it). We should be able to hedge our bets that Nintendo has the integrity to be the latter (personally, I think Mario Kart suggests they do), and appreciate that we're getting even more Zelda than we hoped. It's optional, but paying for it might fund even more content, or pave the way for better things to come.

Ok yeah I looked last night. The number shipped helps, but the recipe layout doesn't. The list of recipes you haven't done/with ??? are blacked out, you can't see the name of them or even the icon properly, even if you know the recipe. And the recipe list in the kitchen does not show how many you've made. So you need to cross reference both, which isn't useful.

I'm always playing Devil's Advocate too, so I really see where he's coming from.

Because 1. Like I said, I like the look of the kit itself. I'll get portability and won't have to use a controller I hate. 2. I never said I'm upset with a lack of features, personally, although I think some omissions were poor business decisions on Nintendo's part. The game roster is where I'm disappointed. 3. I want to play the best version I can of the new Zelda 4. I've leant my Wii U to some friends, and might even sell it 5. I don't want to give any more money to Nintendo for anything Wii U related.

Is that on console? Recipes on console don't show anything when you hover on them afaik, but I could be wrong. If you're right though, I might jump back in as that makes the rest of the trophies seem feasible.

The game was repetitive but for me it was about the co-op experience. I mean plenty of grindy loot-based games are repetitive, look at Diablo for example. But take that formula and add over the party chat banter? There was nothing else like it. It came along at the perfect time for me, when I was in a very low place. Wouldn't be enjoying Overwatch the way I am if it wasn't for the friends I made in Destiny. Also whilst it may have lacked in story, there's no denying it had some incredible raid mechanics and the overall controls and ability trees were top tier. The PvP was fantastic too, until they abandoned the sandbox altogether and stopped properly balancing it.

Huh, funny you feel this way. I'm way over in the cynical corner. I'm not counting down the days til the Switch, I'm waiting for the new Zelda and the colourful controller I'm going to have to play it on. The game lineup is, for my preferences, abysmal. I see no evidence they won't disappoint me like they did last generation. But, the one thing I am really impressed by is the hardware, the physical device itself. It looks like so much more than a Wii U 2, which was basically like the Fisher Price My First Tablet that you could barely leave the room with. It looks like the perfect mobile gaming device, the screen looks fantastic on three fronts: design, screen quality and touchscreen responsiveness. The little controllers look great, I'm sure I'll at least get Bomberman if the price ever drops so I have a great on-the-go two-player system. Like I say, I'm not psyched for the Switch, but at the same time I cannot wait to play Zelda on this lovely looking bit of kit.

You just got a horse?? In Year 4????? Haha, I couldn't have put up with that. Got that within a few seasons. Also doing the ancient fruit/wine/wine cellar combo. Love this game, sunk 120 hours in very quickly. Got to year 3, completed the community centre, married, divorced and remarried. It's wonderfully well made and deep. I didn't play Harvest Moon actually but I've been told it's almost a direct emulation. Only thing I would say negative about it is that at this point I just stopped. I see no reason to keep playing just to tick every box. Also since it doesn't have the benefits of mods on PS4, it's difficult to keep track of things like how many of x you've shipped, or which recipes you can make but haven't made yet.

Yeah it's a shame it only managed to hold your attention for 996 hours :p

Attempt the raids? We crushed them :p we used to play two raids a week in two groups with 3 alts each. And for me it only petered out at the very end. Figuring out the last raid with the clan was one of the most fun things in the game, two years after the original launch. I miss what this game was to me when it first came out. I hope Destiny 2 is a fully fresh start in terms of loot and progress and we have to claw our ways up with time and effort and co-operation like we did before

I'm so surprised people are psyched for this. It just looks like something I would enjoy once as a mini game, as part of a much bigger game. How far can you really stretch this mechanic?

Don't quote the bot so that their spam is still visible after their posts are deleted -_-

You need one for brake as well?? Missing the point... if I don't have a tablet but I want one, and I don't have a Switch but I like the idea of it, it's going to help my decision. Makes sense? And Netflix is just one example, the more things it can do, the more it sways people. Not everyone is priveleged to have four devices that run apps already, and people will often suit something that fulfills as many needs as possible.

...that's a point, how do you even play a modern racing sim without analogue input?

Not really, cos I'm not talking about them actually wanting to really only produce the game on the most powerful systems, I'm talking about them taking advantage of public perception to sell games. So an average PS4/XBO player hears "this game is so good, the Switch can't even run it! But your Xbox One can!" Anyway, I'm only being cynical and throwing around unfounded ideas.

I'm gonna be cynical and suggest that not putting Project CARS on the Switch is a marketing strategy. It's a way of saying "the best thing about this game is how amazingly lifelike the graphics are and you need the best possible system for an amazing, realistic driving experience". Realistically you could probably run a gorgeous racing sim on the Switch pretty easily, but they know the market's not there and it won't affect their bottom line that much to not bother with it.

Whether or not you already have nineteen devices that run Netflix isn't really the point. It should be on there so that people are more likely to consider it instead of spending their money on a new tablet or whatever.
