I never really stayed in one map for too long but now that you've mentioned it I do recall thinking things were taking too long to respawn during some specific mon grinding.

Z-A has definitely fixed this with more intuitive respawn mechanics, but it's got much more of a focus on battling and less on collecting this time around, so it isn't for everyone. Much more fun than the main series has been in a while though!

I agree with this so much - the end of act 2 was such a narrative high I was excited to see how they topped it!

And then they didn't. And then I stopped levelling. It wasn't the climax to the story I was expecting.

I always struggled to describe what was so disappointing but you hit the nail on the head. Starting act 3 felt like I was sent in time back to act 1 - aimlessly wandering around the map until finally stumbling across the next main story point.

Deceive was an incredibly fun game, so I'm super excited to hear this!!

As a casual player I've never found an MMO that interests me, so catering to a hardcore audience isn't a bad idea.

They've always felt like "single player games but you need help to defeat a bullet sponge every so often". I'm sure being a part of a guild makes these segments great but when you're a new player on your own they feel unapproachable.

I'd love to play a multiplayer game where players contribute to a developing story rather than repeat the same one everyone else has done. Obviously that's a ton of work so I'm not surprised it doesn't exist.

Wow of all the Deltarune discourse there is I didn't expect transgender Ralsei to be in this thread lol.

For a bonus fact about the game, there's a character whose identity has been deliberately hidden since the start and the fan base is rabidly debating on who they really are. One man's evidence is another's proof it can't be them, and anyone who disagrees is stupid.

It gets exhausting sometimes.

Ayy stumbled across another stuck in the fog!

I'm honestly surprised Bhvr has managed to keep up the good will for this long but I'm not complaining.

seems perfectly neutral

I'm pretty confident that making something free now cost money is a universally disliked thing.

we should refrain from these kind of comments until we cross that bridge

Respectfully, before a proposed change is enacted is the perfect time for comments pointing out its flaws or the issues that may arise. It's why it's a proposed change and not already in effect.

I can see the flood of social media posts now: "I was born in the UK but was denied free entry because I looked foreign"

Why is the government obsessed with trying to wrack up as much bad PR as possible at the moment?

Sigh.

The Pokémon Company is a joint venture between Nintendo, GameFreak and Creatures Inc. Control of TPC is what people mean when they say Nintendo/GameFreak "own" 30%.

The story behind the trio is an interesting read, and IIRC Creatures is like wholly owned by Nintendo anyway so they technically have majority control of TPC.

Maybe we'll get God Eater 4 now?

Surely TGA is big enough now that the organisers could reach out to the studios and ask them to rank the awards they were nominated for themselves.

I tried playing fallout 76 when it launched. I care about story or having fun with friends, and it failed on both fronts spectacularly.

It didn't offer any of the interactive story that I was expecting from (having watched) the previous entries because you were forced to play on a server, but it also didn't commit to co-op content because you might not have friends.

What a waste.
