Recreate the what after the what shut down?

@Officer Hotpants  
Global Trade System. Lets you trade Pokemon over the internet rather than a local network. Used to be a part of Nintendo’s free online service before they shut it down in 2014.

@EverfreeEmergencies  
Oh. Yeah, I remember hearing something about them shutting down a bunch of stuff a few years ago.

@Officer Hotpants  
Now that I’m reminded of it, there are some pretty cursed things on it though.  

@EverfreeEmergencies  
How is that cursed?

@Barhandar  
Master Ball. Murkrows aren’t particularly difficult to catch.

@EverfreeEmergencies  
I remember things like this on the GTS but with Pidgey, Rattata, Wurmple, Zigzagoon, Wingull, Pikipek, and Yungoos caught in Masterball in X and Y, ORAS and Sun and Moon respectively. I also remember the Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Moon. having a bunch of Pikipek’s being nicknamed Johnny in the GTS as well.

@EverfreeEmergencies  
Yeah but cheat devices aren’t particularly difficult to obtain, either.

@Officer Hotpants  
Fair.

Just got the dark ops challenge to reach round 20 with starting loadout in Cold War Zombies. I thought it had to be done starting room too, so I just did it on Firebase Z (with help from Quick Revive V).
 
I didn’t plan to do it, so I came in with an M60 with 100 round mag. An extremely slow movement, slow reload weapon which did bugger-all later on and scraped by with QR and equipment drops. Least I got it now.

Nerds…..
 
Will we ever go back to video games that don’t go online?
 
All this leveling up and achievements, I’ve gone into fuck-everything mode.

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
Not sure if we will in terms of AAA games. It’s kinda why I’ve been pretty much exclusively been playing indie titles

@Sapphie  
To make things worse I can’t find a decent controller, the 360 has no headphone options either.
 
So I have my CD collection blaring across the room all night, or I can have headphones on the newer console with no music.

@Sapphie  
Online games let you get money continuously, SP ones don’t unless you’re Paradox, so…

Bunch of bums just moochin’ off customers.
 
When I buy a game I want the full edition!
 
Fact is I can’t go online, this thing is always updating.

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
The DS4 is a solid PC controller when connected via USB and it supports 3.5mm jack composite headsets for sound routing while in USB mode, too.

PUBG was able to get a license from Toho to use Godzilla and certain other characters in the Godzilla universe in a more recent event, along with another event involving Godzilla vs King Kong, but only for either Apple or Android phones and tablets aka only on mobile for some reason. Damn, why no such event for PS4 and Xbox One players, or even the PC version?  
 
I wonder who will most likely grab the license to use transformers from G1 up to Beast Wars era before the others? Fortnite, Garena Free Fire, PUBG or COD mobile?

@Absol95  
Remember the gozilla arcade fighting games? Destroy All Monsters, Save The Earth, and Unleashed? I really want them to make another one of those and just keep adding more monsters. It was like a super smash bros game but with godzilla characters only. I loved it!

Anyone else remember those old pedometers that you used to be able to connect to certain games?

@Absol95  
because chances are its more marketed towards china where mobile gaming its the predominant market

@EverfreeEmergencies  
Did they transfer the data in the form of pedo files?

@Anonymous #0A6B  
They did tend to market them towards children…

I just started AC Oddyssey. I thought I was done with Assassin’s Creed after I gave up on Origins, but this one is getting me invested. Maybe I’ll eventually try Valhalla after all.

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
To be fair to most studios, they gotta pay their employees somehow. With the current state of the industry, almost every AAA release is a high budget title, and they gotta recoup that cost somehow. But that’s also why I wish lower budget became more standard, and not just for indie games.

the steam summer sale got my wallet fucking THIN! yet lord gaben blessed us with another discount rain
