Pokemon. I was in highschool when it came out and had no time for it followed by being too poor and busy trying to survive directly after it. With no nostalgia for it, there seems to be no reason to try it. I gave pokemon go like 20 minutes and I was over it (though I did play dragonquest walk for around a year)

Mega Man, no matter how much time I put into trying to grasp the controls and mechanics, it just never clicks.

Pokemon. Never played one, never will. Hot take is it's a gateway into IRL hunting which is honestly just very cruel. Do not approve.

[–] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Kinda like how GTA produces violent killers right?

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Fair point. Tbh, the mirroring between the point behind Pokemon and IRL hunting are just too similar. Don't agree with it.

Is Satisfactory a franchise? I just don't get it; it's a worse Factorio. It's poorly paced and it doesn't have the tools you need to build big, like priority splitters.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It does actually have priority splitters and mergers

[–] drkt@scribe.disroot.org -4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh, cool, they added that a few months ago; it only took them over 5 years to add it. I still don't get why everybody likes it, it punishes you for building big and it has the slowest opening of all factory games I've ever played. I'd like to say I'd give it another try, but it runs like dog ass now, so I can't play it anymore.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The game only officially released last year, everything before was Early Access, so yes it did release with the game.

I don't think you're wrong for disliking it, but you're oddly hostile to it. Just say it's not for you. Everyone else in this thread is mostly just saying how they disliked game A or game B. You don't have to like every game. You don't need to understand why others don't enjoy it, you just don't, and that's okay.

I personally like it's pacing, how it adds functionality, and how it takes over over time. I personally dislike Factorio - I find it tedious and repetitive. Tried it a few times, just can't get into it. But hey, that's okay, and so is not liking Satisfactory. We don't need to shit on each other because we have different opinions.

[–] drkt@scribe.disroot.org -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, that was not my intention, but I can't interpret your message any other way, as all I did was say "I don't like this popular thing".

Also, no, look at the wiki. The priority splitters came out after 1.0.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 0 points 2 days ago

Priority mergers came out at 1.1, splitters were around Update 5 or early access
