I still want to argue that turn based gameplay is objectively bad gameplay. But I guess what your saying makes sense.

half of the games around are turn based

most real life games are turn based

My face when Chess is objectively bad because I can't charge all of my units like vikings.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Okay, I'll bite:

Why do you think turn based gameplay is objectively bad?



Thanks.

It's like I always say: "If it's free, it's for me."

Because you’re not actually doing anything. Your just telling the game to do things for you.

My favourite Godzilla movie excluding Shin Godzilla and King Of The Monsters is really despised by the fans of the series for “hurting the reputation of the series to Aquaman levels”.

Yet I still love it because it has my favourite character from the whole series and is fun to watch from time to time.

Which one?

 

[Deleted member]

Which one?

Godzilla vs Megalon.

When I press the square button, I'm not punching my enemies. I'm telling Batman to punch my enemies. Ergo, **** the Arkham series.

That's how playing video games work?

DK 64 fails at efficiency. Whether you enjoy the game or not, your time will be wasted by this one design choice, and that is objectively bad.

Technically, aren't games just a waste of time at the end? Anyway that's something I personally disagree with as I never felt that my time was being wasted. The swapping never bothered me, there were always enough barrels so that swapping isn't an issue, except for maybe the toy factory.

Here's the thing though, a lot of people dislike the the choice, fair enough, but I don't think it's not enough to call something outright bad. Maybe it's not for you, that's fine, but that doesn't mean there aren't people who like it. I think it's just being blown way out of proportion. The game still has the usual Rare polish. It has a great soundtrack, controls well enough, not a glitchy mess, graphics are alright, the personality is there, etc.

Stuff like Sonic 06 is bad. Most movie tie-ins are bad. DK64, at worst, is mediocre. It does too many things right for it to be just dismissed as a bad game.

That's my take on it.

The button inputs on my controller tell the game to do things for me.

I mean, isn't that what a controller is?

We are getting Marvel Legenda figures of Dan Slott’s Fantastic Four

Really looking forward for these.

You say it's fine, and it did work, but wouldn't be better and save more time for the player if we could switch Kongs wherever on the map? Especially without a dedicated run button like in Banjo Kazooie? Sonic 06 technically worked. You just had to learn the controls and physics engine for it to be playable. It is playable

Technically, isn't arguing and prolonging the existence of this debate, of by which you're not accepting your fate as the objective loser, a waste of time?

Checkmate, Socrates. Out of here with that moral questioning.

 

[Schnee117]

Hey Snake have you ever heard of guilty pleasures? Media that isn't really good by any means but you enjoy it? Venom is a dumpster fire of a movie but I couldn't help but grin ans laugh at it the whole time for example

And Will touched upon it, but let's not get into existentialism while discussing game design. **** gets real quick. Let's just say video games are not inherently a waste of time because I use video games to unwind after a busy day.

So, unrelated to DK64, but what would be a good game to get into Yu-Gi-Oh, preferable one that teaches you the rules as well? I'm feeling kinda nostalgic about it currently. Also preferably something that isn't too overwhelming with all those newfangled XYZ, Synchros, etc.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Half way through Leviathan (1989). Still holds up as the classic it is.

Gonna have to watch Deepstar Six and The Abyss as well. Its putting me in that mood.

It's like 30 or 40 bucks on the e-shop.

also it's super funny to see how the art style of the anime has changed over the past 20 years, they don't even have face lines anymore.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Because you’re not actually doing anything. Your just telling the game to do things for you.

Isn't that what you do in all games? Push buttons to tell the game what to do?

I get where you're coming from but that's a bad way of putting it. Not liking micromanagement, menu scrolling, or having to use strategy over quick reflexes I can definitely understand.

Still curious how tomorrow's Pokémon 24 hour livestream is going to be handled.

what are we talking about

do you mean like, an actual 24-hour stream made by pokemon?

depends on if its solely focused on a specific type of pokemon brand or not. if it isn't, you could maybe get a solid amount of hours through game promotion, anime promotion, card promotion, merch promotion, maybe a tourney or two for the VG and TCG.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Having a more strategic, slow paced approach instead of a more hands on, fast approach isn't bad.

It's just going to be 24 hours of developers reading Twitter complaints over SwSh and reacting/laughing at them.

24 hours of SwSh spoilers!

I know for sure that Noipoi wouldn't miss it for the world.

what if national dex being removed was a prank the whole time and they just couldnt keep it in any longer

It... It's 24 hours? Jesus **** Joe Merrick os going to collapse


Also resolved my Steam issue

24 hours of the developers saying each individual Pokemon is returning to Gen 8. It's gonna be wild.

 

[BlueMonk]

god I hope someone posts another unpopular opinion so that I can join all the people dogpiling onto it, I really just need my popular opinions reaffirmed right now

 

[Idon]

The 24 hour livestream is just going to be the pokerap but with all 800 pokemon.

 

[Cosmic77]

My best guess is that it'll be a 24 hour livestream of Pokemon randomly walking around in the background of the forest.

Occasionally, they might show us a new Pokemon or a returning Pokemon we weren't aware of.

 

[Shroob]

The one thing DK64 has going for it

Is the soundtrack is Rare quality.

Rare ****ing sucked at making 3D platformers

 

[ColietheGoalie]

Godzilla vs Megalon.

It's silly, but I like it. Most of the Showa era past the first film can't be taken too seriously.

The only thing that disappointed me about it was that it could never live up to this poster

You mean all the Pokemon in the Galar Dex
