Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Anytime a new Pokémon is one the horizon you know it will be a big release and this year we have one of the biggest games the franchise has ever gotten with Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee coming this November. These versions are thematically remakes of Pokémon (Yellow) which released on the original Game Boy but completely revamp so many of that game’s mechanics and systems that it’s hard to call it a remake and not a spiritual remastering. This change in style led to plenty of discussion among players when the game was first revealed on how it would all come together and after getting some hands on time with the game at E3 2018 I can report that it’s a very familiar experience though it merges two completely different games from Pokémon’s past."
If you are new to the Pokémon universe or just bought a Switch, you might be wondering: what are the best Pokémon games for Nintendo Switch?
Nevada Dru from Bits & Pieces explores delayed gratification in JRPG's.
I really enjoyed this article, it was a good read. This quote gave me a chuckle, because it's true!:
"Pretty much every JRPG involves the player’s characters going from barely being able to lift a sword to killing God"
Final Fantasy 15 the ultimate delayed game with delayed story dlc shoveled in at the last second. Doesn’t ring the gratifying bell when I see that stupid car at all. Article+thumbnail is like describing a 5star meal while watching your cat clean its backside.
Replies(2)More specifically I would say JRPGs are progressive gratification. Basically like listening to prog music vs anything else which imo is the best. Even if a JRPG is all about the journey, generally speaking JRPGs keep getting better as opposed to other games which usually have their high points come in either too soon, or the best parts just aren't nearly as impactful.
Also don't forget the direct comparison that the old Square Enix president made. He said Western players like TWITCH games and eastern players love Cerebral games. Now it was taken as a racist slam. But he meant it as one of the reasons outside of development time and cost return on investment(ROI). But he had a true point people here are TRAINED to like instant stuff. And people there are trained to like delayed over the top stuff. It is not a intelligence slam. I'm glad I LOVE the later gratification! Because it is way better!
