New merch store!
Pokémon Unite is sick. Aimed at children, this flimsy MOBA seeks to exploit anybody it can get its talons on with excessive monetization, including a battle pass, loot boxes, and active pay-to-win mechanics.
It is also, sadly, the natural conclusion of the track Nintendo’s been on, as well as the mindset with which Pokémon was released back in the mid-90s.
God though… it’s really despicable.
“Worse than Breath of the Wild”
Oh God, is it possible for a game to be rated lower than an 7 out of 10?
I miss the days when you could unlock new content in games by…y’know, playing the game instead of paying more money
Cr1tikal demonstrated how pay2win this game was by paying hundreds of dollars to overpower opponents. Games jounalists blamed HIM for making the game pay2win instead of Nintendo & Tencent. He explains it in his video titled ‘My Response’ (I cannot post the link as youtube deletes comments with links)
“I’m so sick of gems and crystals!”
Uh…the “JEWELS!” video wasn’t THAT long ago, right? :P.
I think all games with microtransactions should be rated A for Adult
“don’t commit a crime unless the crime is worth the prison sentence”
Words to live by.
Wow, Pokemon Unite is really shameless, isn’t it?
Niantic: Hold my beer
I still feel like this wouldn’t have happened under Iwata. I could be wrong, though.
I once again feel the need to point out how amazing Jim is looking recently
As soon as I saw Tencent on Pokemon Unite I was like “oh boy… where’s the p2w…”
“The free market brings innovation!”
The free market :
This is why I keep going back to older games, they are literally designed to be more playable and FUN than the new shit
