I like that you can at least get nature mints in this game, but them being dropped via random chance as rewards for the Rolycoly mingame kinda sucks, granted the minigame is fun at least.
And the minigame is starting to occasionally crash my game, cripes.
>>56504312Yikes
>Lawds has pulse3 now via a password>Also gives the player access via a different passwordkinda based t b h, both sides being password only (for now) is niceCan't wait for more availability retardation based on player potentially using a password for pulse3 thoughever>>56503862Either unbreakable ties or low difficulty unbound is probably the easiest of those three
And the power flickering doesn't fucking stop.........siiiiiigh.....I'm also really not getting any good mints, scheisse.>>56504321Thankfully it only happened once, not sure why T B H.
>Puts a minigame that gives the player mints>Doesn't program half the mints into the gameWelp, I take back what I said about a single crash so far.
> Tiramisu finishes chapter 12 of Empire and unsurprisingly finds it to be shitHey, not what I’ve said :p … I’ve said, and I quote, ahem:I didn’t hate Empire as passionately as you seem to do, but neither did I love it. If I had to find one word for it, it’d be CUMBERSOME.It isn’t pure shit, for that the ingredients are too good. But it’s like watching an inept cook turn good ingredients into a mediocre meal.The setting - not to be conflated with the story - is really good and what draws you in. However, the ratio of long-winded dialogue to substance over 12 chapters is atrocious. Really not much has happened in the main Royale plot, the really few exciting moments came from the Virgil/OriGen side (?) plot.The gameplay has so much effort put into it, yet it is so purposefully anti-fun. Toliman or Rastaban are lessons on how not to design gameplay. The moments where I felt “I’m having fun” are very far and between, overall, so much just wastes your time and forces you to follow guides slavishly.The unequivocally good, for a breather: The map design is extremely varied and has character, so that deserves praise. The Fakemon are subdued and mostly well-made. There are noticeable efforts to make every shitmon viable through niche mechanics. The difficulty is just right.So yeah, those are my thoughts on it. Very mixed. And the resolution of chapter 12 makes me skeptical whether the writers are capable of ever delivering something satisfying.
I still laugh like a madman every time I recall how badly Clay buckbroke yurifags on this board.
So I took on Unbound in difficult mode. I’ve already played Insurgence from the same creator (?), found it quite sucky - especially on the story front - so I’d be surprised if this is good.
>>56504486Kek, fair enough, but summations are needed sometimes, I really wished Octavius could just get that massive stick he has up his arse to actually listen to people's criticism of his game instead of focusing on shit nobody likes or wants, he needs to curb the dialogue down, considering he supposedly browses these threads every time someone plays Empire, it's very likely he just doesn't care it.>>56504493Unbound has neat features but it's a very dull game and with a lot of really questionable features and a lot of bloat, I wouldn't call it bad due to the sheer amount of effort that went into it, but the game ain't that interesting for what's worth.
>A tribe that knows birds are very importantAlso.>Sunny Day available this earlyNOOOOOOO, LAWDS TRANNIES, HOW COULD THIS BE ALLOWED?!
>>56504493Unbound and Insurgence were made by completely different devs
>>56504502Octavius has a Discord server full of contributors and players praising his game. I don’t think he’s often confronted with the thought it may use some improvement. But if he’s in need for constructive criticism for whatever reason, I think I’ve written it up. Albeit I don’t believe someone reads our schizo ramblings here lol. >>56504799Hm, no idea where I got that info from then.
>>56504809he has a channel called 'player-feedback'. the incredibly minor suggestions that have basically zero impact on anything sometimes get implemented. the major critiques about how the game handles it's gameplay/story especially during certain sections either get pushback from octavius/stoicstone themselves or are completely ignored. this complaint about the toliman boulders was before ep10.5 when they were trying to revamp the whole game to make it more palatable for new players lol>I don’t believe someone reads our schizo ramblings herethey do, at least sometimes. whether they actually take anything to heart is another story entirely. RG and I copy/pasted essentially our reviews for vanguard into a google docs feedback form and that game did focus its next update on addressing things we didn't like, when 99% of that server unquestionably suck that dev's cock. on the other hand octavius and stoicstone definitely think they're smarter than anyone who criticizes their game. so really just depends.>>56504341>gives the player access to PULSE3 with just a passwordmotoxissies...our response?
>Odyssey getting a .5 updateit's overFun melty to watch unfold over in reborncord though kek>>56504838>motoxissies...our response?haha...The ubercat's power grows...ignore that it's other two abilities are shit kek
>>56505050HAHAHAHAHARebornchuds, it's over, we're now part of the rethuglican antiwoke nazi party....>>Odyssey getting a .5 updateTbf, he got this out really quickly and it seems we're still on track for December releaseNot like rejuv or whatever is going on with azure
>>56505113kek>Not like rejuv or whatever is going on with azureit'd take a lot of shit to end up like those two tbf, Azure especially has been really embarrassing in it's .5 kek
>>56502976Wouldn't you still need a fresh team to EV train though? It just feels bad to bench everyone you had, then go grind for EVs instead of adventure which interrupts the normal flow of the game.
>>56505169I thought you were exaggerating so I checked their discord. The first mention of 2.5 is in June, 2023! It's been a year and 3 months and there's no indication of even a 1.5 coming out. Truly a massive fumble.
>>56505169Yeah as far as this goes, it really is just a graphical/QoL update and such. what a concept kek>>56505257You probably want to switch down to Difficult thenYou can probably use the same team all throughout with some decent planning and EV training once, but you will probably need to EV train>>56505339It doesn't get talked about but there was also a 2 year gap between the first and second update. The game literally started off with a worse version of the 13/13.5 debacle kekLike I've said, had they just stuck their nose to the grindstone they probably would be at Act 4 at this point. Sucks that Empire has to be the new rebornlike we have to "look forward to"
>Nearly all of the aelitakino after the garufa section was removedit's so fucking OVER bros
>>56505686>be me>make mod of rejuv>insert gen 9 into the game (when rejuv will do this already)>insert kino cutscenes with fun characters like aelita, then proceed to take it away for no real reason>make a bunch of retarded balance changes that are entirely unnecessary, nerf fun mons for no good reason and maybe make a handful of shitmons good>adjust maybe 10% of the fights in the game, and the 90% that's left is either just imported intense teams from v13 rejuv or slightly reshuffled classic mode teams with max EVs and some better itemswhat did wingdings mean by this?i hope he used this time to get a little better at script/codeshit if absolutely nothing else
alright....i think it's time to kill CHAOS

>>56505113I don't even know what the fuck they mean in that last post>>56505757I don't remember any crashes outside of leaving hometown without a pokemon, but definitely keep the game unmuted because some of the jokes like AI Carl are soundgags, and the theme that plays when you fight alpha/totem pokemon is fucking great
>it's a ytboiit's so overinb4 'removed for encouraging school shooting'>>56505840>>>>>>>>>>>>>the riolu is why the aelitakino worksholy fucking shit kekthis mod really should've just been a slam dunk in so many ways, how did they fuck it up with retarded squabbling like thisalso punching texen is based fuck that faggot. i know why they don't like the punch texen thing, it's because rejuv-general is apparently a shithole and constantly calls for ritual texen blood sacrifices and they don't like that. but come on you're not filleting the fag's dick or anything you're just punching him after he's being a tard (and hell, they already le discourage it with the party hype dropping and everything)
of all things i was expecting i was not expecting route side bosses?>>56505849basically a leftoid came in, called the whole pokemon fangame community racist/sexist because dark rising has gotten shit on more than it should be because the creator being a black woman, tards on rebornevo took extreme offense to that and had an ultra chuddy meltdown in response, was hilarious watching some of the masks come offhe's trying to say 'you're basically the woke version as someone who criticizes games because they're made by niggers' but badly>but definitely keep the game unmuted don't worry, i ami'm annoyed that i can't recognize a lot of these songs
>>56505860I think some of them are commissioned, or if not made by someone as part of an 8-bit album, Xdeviruchi

>>56505874huh, i thought it was like some shit where they're from certain old meme games that you'd get a laugh if you recognized itmaybe that's the feel they were going for, idklike here this is the doom theme and it got a chuckle out of me
>>56505882oh definitely most of them are memes, but a few aren't
