Games

Why would they? It takes effort to make something innovative. They can make buckets of money by doing nothing. They might make more, but it's going to cost a lot more too.

Pokemon Arceus had a little innovation. The thing is: a little innovation after decades of doing the same thing is like a textbook example of "too little, too late".

I don't think that GameFreak will see this as a wake up call. And even if it does, it might not do the necessary changes to Pokémon main series.

The stagnation runs deeper. It is partially caused by inertia ("we're selling well, why bother innovating?"), but also by GF's insistence on making the main series story-driven instead of gameplay-driven. Even if story-driven Pokémon goes a lot against the franchise's biggest strength - a wide, unique, and immersive universe to explore.

Yeah really goes to show just how massive this market is, and how horribly game freak has whiffed here

They're probably finding out all the ways to sue PalWorld in.

There's a glitch where you can tame the bosses too - and even those have animations.

I think it's only steam.
It runs on steam, i host a server and sometimes got some big old frame drops. Otherwise it runs pretty well for me.

The uniformed virtue signaling is strong with this one...

All of the "butchering" is optional. Believe me, the game makes it much easier to set up a berry patch that auto-feeds everything in your base, rather than manually butchering everything.

And... Normal Pokemon is enslaving as well. You're literally catching them and forcing them to fight each other to the brink of death. Just to recycle the rhetoric of the crazies 20-25 years ago. It's akin to dog fighting. You're also a child in Pokemon..

Come on, at least try to make a good argument.

Maybe PETA got to me but it turns my stomach watching people gleefully butcher and enslave Pokemon.

So you gleefully play terrorism stimulator the game?

I'm anti-war and anti-guns, I play a lot of war games and shooters. It's a game.

Do people riding horses gross you out too, or relying on dogs to find injured people in accidents? Animals have had jobs with people throughout history.

Do you not fight wolves, attack dogs, dragons, and other animals on any other game you've played?

You don't have to butcher your pals. There is no in game need for it. You have pals, you pet them and feed them and provide for their needs and they help you cut a tree down. Sometimes they don't feel like it and they just don't do it. What's the problem?

Yeah imagine still playing counterstrike on the same 3 maps and guns for 20 years and spend 1000 dollars on a cool knife.

30fps on lows from what I remember seeing others post. Allegedly there is a mod to help performance on Deck, too

Friend of mine joined my server from his steam deck, and was using the deck dock to a 52" TV, said it was running beautifully.
