Of course they're doing it now, because we did it and proved that it's perfectly viable. Even if there's backlash, people just buy the shit anyway. Besides, that's post-2007, beyond the point of no return.

Gacha is literally based on a physical method of jewing their fellow nips that's existed for decades. The Western industry was inspired by the asians introducing cancerous microtransactions into mobile gaming not the other way around. The western AAA industry is still a shitfest don't get me wrong but the nips are at least as bad, in fact the average nip has worse taste than any given westerner just replace 'generic sportsball game' with 'loli VN'.

>>11855
Gacha is more of a chink thing, although Japs do love pachinko for some reason.
The oldest I can think of something like microtransactions was Bethesda DLC for Oblivion, the horse armor being the most egregious bit. I doubt they took much inspiration from it.
If you had shown a gamer in 2006 what kind of things are sold in games today they'd laugh at how absurd it is.

That's one of the earliest ones that's known about certainly.

People got mad about horse armour but they still bought it. At this point it's clear we can't rely on the average human to vote with their wallet and need actual legal changes. That or actually found a gamer terrorist group and threaten them into stopping.

>>11889
Even worse, while Horse Armor is still a joke (that people bought anyway), content like Fire Emblem's DLC is celebrated now, even though it is the same type and amount of content.

Does it really matter what character I select or can they all end up the same through customization? Thanks for the advice anon.

Each class have its own talent tree, abilities, way to work, and some even have exclusive weapons. there is not mold to put on all classes.

>>11716
When you do that push while parrying, if you hold down the attack button after pushing you'll do a special push attack that has different properties than normal attacks. I didn't learn this until after over 200 hours of playing, it dramatically changes lots of weapons.

>>11752
I am not the only one? This shit should have been teached at the tutorial, but that is Fatshark for you.

>There are literally zero Cataclysm games, because game have changed so much, and Fatshark buffed enemies and difficulties so much, that people cant even do Legend runs well, nevermind finishing the Legendary Lords required to get Cataclysm.
Fatshark have almost killed the game with these changes, and the beta was literally just an early access mode.
The difficulty setup now is screwed because now Legend is really hard as fuck, so people cant even get the new dificulty (which was the anwer to all the other saying Legend before was easy. Even if Cataclys is really hard, no problem because that is the point, plus if its harder, then the item drop should be much higher then; But thing is I dont know how high the red item drop for Cata is because I cant even do it).): And there are retards saying that if Legend is now too hard for you, just go Champion...But making Champion feel like Legend, but with the less red item drop from champion, makes doing Champion almost useless.

>>11698
If you choose to further restrict it with things like not allowing evolution, the difficulty can increase greatly. It'd also be worth noting that it's typical to not use items mid-battle either. Sure, you can just grind to oblivion, but that can be made a challenge by choosing a pokemon in the slow EXP category.

>>11768
Perhaps they made later entries more challenging, I just remember Red/Blue being a complete joke when you play through with your starter. Even the enemies most resistant to its attack types go down easy from all the built-up level from fighting everything with it.

>>11801
red/blue have their fair amount of challenge, but is overlooked by the numerous bugs and oversights by the devs. They are by far the most broken mainline mon games for a great number of reasons. Naturally, starters are meant to have good stats so they don't feel weaker compared to what you'd normally find in the wild. So overleveling your starter can make the game quite trivial, especially if they've got good moves. Type coverage isn't much of a worry. Red/blue is also made very easy with any psychic type as they have no weakness in practice and have good stats all around. DPP (my favorite gen) is made trivial by only ever leveling chimchar, as infernape has good speed and attacking stats and a good move pool. Not to mention, almost all of the gyms are weak to it's STAB moves. The most difficult run that one can do is to do a run with a gimmick pokemon, like ditto or wobbufet or something that is incredibly weak, like magikarp or shedninja.

Getting close to a one-life clear of Mr. Driller. 3500-4500ft is fucking brutal.

Well that's all me. Bully away.

What else? Torrent the definitive edition if you're going to play it on PC. The better rain is comfy and the increased pedestrians make it feel properly like being in an ant people city but charging you for it is jewish as shit.

Thanks endchan, you technical fucking shitshow of an imageboard. Your captcha is so shit it not only fails to prevent bots but it actively prevents humans from posting effectively.

His only flaw was being too merciful toward the n'wahs.

>fail captcha
>image unselected for no reason

>accidental double post
I'd delete this thread if I could work out how the fuck to do that in this garbage UI. In the unlikely event there's any fucking moderation of this board do whatever you want about the duplicate.

He should have let Wei die earlier. He clearly saw too much of himself in the man.

This is pretty cool.

You're missing out on some great SHMUPS and JRPGs. The soundtracks produced for the CD-ROM games still hold up in CURRENT_YEAR + 4.

Meanwhile, in yurop...

Amiga sucked fucking ballz holy shit worst games ever.

Mad you couldn't make your own games and had to subsist on whatever the owners wanted on their consoles in the west

brb finally trying out the Playstation port of Diablo.

D2 good
OP gay

They both were Shit Controls: The Game. Why compete?

>>11831
>>11832
Not an argument. Diablo II added the ability to infinetly grind in SP and the ability to run so you could infinetly kite superior enemies. The entire game devolved into mindlessly killing trash mobs while you farmed the handful of potential loot sources for worthwhile equipment. Compare this to D1 where levels didn't repopulate and you had to live and work with what you got like an actual goddamn dungeon crawler.
>>11833
Even if you dislike both there are clear gameplay differences.

Gen 5 wasn't too bad but Gamefreak can't code in 3d worth shit so SS is going to be garbage. It's one of the reasons they're loading it with waifubait more than the usual fare. They know people will buy it just to ogle their virtual girls and not give a shit about removing gameplay.
