Fantina sux

No really, how is the 5th gym leader (which I beat before the 3rd and 4th gyms in Sinnoh) easier than Maylene? The latter kept sniping me with drain punches and lucky rock tombs. Didn't really have an issue with Fantina and I only have one super effective move against her (Bite) on my Luxio.

I did 200 hours of Underrail and finished the DLC and it's fucking amazing. 10/10 best slavic post apocalyptic game ever would trade 10 barrel soups for it.

Evidently Warcraft 3 Reforged is off to a very bad start. As in "currently sitting at lower Metacritic user score than Fallout 76" bad. It's a shame, I liked the old Warcraft RTS games.

You know those controversies brought on by greedy and shitty practices that have zealots defend rigorously? Then it get worse. So you have people's unbridled praise turn into "well erm, nothing was ever that good anyway." And then it get worse. And worse. Think New Star Wars Movies. Or Epic Store. (Or Fallout 76, Or Blizzard, really take your pick.) Well, here's yet another one that has reached that stage.

And the ones who called it from the start can only smile knowing they were right all along.

But hey, it's giving their competition (Tem-Tem) free publicity, so there's a silver lining in everything. :D

Except the New Star Wars movies are 2/3 good (which makes them on par with the OT), the Epic Games Store is perfectly fine (plus, you know, free games are always good) and TemTem isn't going to hang against the juggernaut that is Pokemon considering Pokemon SwSh is already the fifth highest selling Switch game. And realistically, how many people are going to dump 16 dollars when it's more cost effective to pay for it as needed. Didn't all the people who trade between gens not buy this one anyway because half of them weren't in it?

Congratulations, Nintendo and Pokemon fans, much like Nintendo's entire business model they are finally at the point in the video game cycle where they learn that DLC and games as a service are things that exist.

Not too surprised by this. They made it sound like it was going to be an entirely new game, and just updated the graphics and made some small tweaks. They did a small scale" no man's sky," intentional or not.

You've also got this:

Customers are complaining about connectivity issues. They can’t reliably connect to custom matches. They can’t access custom campaigns that worked just fine previously. There’s no support for a competitive ladder. Making matters worse is the fact that there’s simply no going back; even if you install the original Warcraft 3, you’re still going to end up with the same issues once you connect to Blizzard’s online services because the infrastructure is now the same for both the old and the new versions of the game.


There’s yet another wrinkle to the story, as well. As USgamer points out, Blizzard has also updated some of its terms and conditions as it relates to custom game modes. It appears to be a defensive move to protect the company from losing out on the revenue generated by adaptations based on its work. You’ll recall that Dota began life as a fan-made custom map for Warcraft 3, and then transitioned into a multi-billion dollar genre all its own. The new language effectively means, as PC Gamer puts it, that all of your Warcraft 3: Reforged custom game modes belong to Blizzard, and that rubs the community the wrong way.

So I tried hunting a shiny Roselia for my shiny Gardevoir. No luck so far. :/

Also kinda trying to level up said shiny after getting all three sets of stats up (Base, Friendship, AND Contest), while getting as much legends as I can. So that's fun.

Yes ive been playing Alpha Sapphire.

@BrokenPromise Blizzard is also confirmed to be outright banning anyone on the forums who help other people get refunds, too. Acti-Blizz is being scummy once again

And like somehow some of the new graphics/models are way worse than the old ones. That's so disappointing but hey if Blizzard wants to tank their reputation in record time then they have been doing a bang up job.

Warcraft III classic was the height of 'good' Blizzard[in my experience], so many good memories playing all sorts of zany and interesting custom maps, and just playing through campaign mode. Then they just let it kind of crumble away and they've been trash ever since, as they just kept most of their resources devoted to WoW and finally came out with Starcraft II which was just...not as good as the first one. I could never get into MMORPGs for very long so I never bothered with WoW so after I gave Starcraft II a chance and was disappointed, Blizzard just faded from my game scope.

I didn't even know they were making a Warcraft III remaster until I saw articles about how bad it was in comparison to the original. XD

Tem-Tem seems interesting and could potentially be a good alternative to Pokemon, a series that I also used to love but fell out of love with. I can't say I'm a big fan of the graphics though and I'm really trying to avoid buying any more early access titles, really don't want to pay for an unfinished product. I've done that a few times and...they seem to have a really hard time getting out of that early access stage.

Best to wait for the product to be complete otherwise you just might have paid for a game that is never finished, or just poorly optimized. I understand it helps them make the money needed to finish the game, but I'm afraid the temptation to use that as an excuse to squeeze more money out of people can be easily abused with Early Access. At the very least you should be able to buy the game at a discounted price if you decide on Early Access.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the C&C/RA remaster. They have most of the original source code. The original devs who moved to Petroglyph after EA bought Westwood are working on it. Frank Klepacki is working on remastering the OST. Kia Huntzinger is reprising her role of EVA to remaster the lines so I can clearly hear that I am neglecting my economy and my base is under attack. Now if they can recreate the installation process, it'd be pretty sweet. EA is somehow giving me hope after the Twilight/Rivals mess.

But I suppose if they fuck that up, I still have Iron Harvest to look forward to.

I give MW a lot of shit (I mean come on the game is awful and was bricking consoles a week ago) but it still has that "gamer high" for me. Was trying for juggs earlier today and every time I got close (or got one) I could literally feel the adrenaline in my body. I thought I was going to keel over on the first success but I suppose that's partly because I was playing on shipment where you can pretty much die any second. It's like that Walking Dead thing with Hershel except "you spawn, you die" over and over.

Currently, Warcraft 3 Reforged has been review bombed down to 0.7 on Metacritic, making it the second-lowest user rated game on the site, after Day One: Garry's Incident. Even for a company that has been making quite a few missteps, I'm actually kind of impressed at how badly Blizzard has managed to mess this up.

Maybe don't forum ban people helping others to get refunds and instead put forth that effort towards working on a quality product lol

But this is Acti-Blizz we're talking about, anyway. They can't stop screwing up, from MW deleting game files/erasing combat stats/bricking consoles, banning a HS player for supporting Hong Kong (yet taking their sweet time for an American that did the same), the entire WC3R clusterfuck, etc. It's like they don't know PR or how to design a working game anymore.

Considering Diablo 3, Overwatch, and WoW, if anything Blizzard's brand for a while has been "fucking up winning formulas in record time"

I am finding it supremely difficult to even try to care about anything other than Doom Eternal. So hyped for it, especially that classic Cyberdemon design.
I didn't mind the redesign for 2016, but that original Cyberdemon is something else. All taut muscle, exposed guts and twisting metal...it's just beautiful. I still play through the original games quite regularly and even though I adored 2016, those original titles can't be beat.
We'll see how they stack up after Eternal!
