I've gotten back to Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, and it is annoying. Everything costs Gem Apples!! I even need Gem Apples to regain vigor, which lets me play in the first place! I'm getting tired of asking my dad to enter in his credit card number, and I've only done it twice so far, because he gets annoyed each time I ask. I've had the game since the day it was released, and I'm only at Level 17/50. It's not like it gets easier to Level Up each level, and there is no real way to "grind". Each harvest is every 12 hours, and you need to purchase Gem Apples to grow the tree. Past Level 5 Gear, everything costs at least 50 Gem Apples, and according to the chart Dude pulled up, it will take 1691 days from beginning to end to harvest enough Gem Apples to beat the game 100% without making any purchases. I've already bought at least 750 gem apples to grow the tree, and harvests are still only 20 every 12 hours. Either I'm being impatient, or this is poor game design. No Kirby game should ever again be free-to-play yet have in-game purchases. Ever.

Poor game design. This is just ridiculous.

You're right, they should spend a bunch of money on development and then donate the result to the public.

Games made by professionals are going to either cost money or have microtransactions. Some might have just ads, but putting enough ads in to cover the cost of something developed/produced by Nintendo really hurts their reputation, and they'll probably never do it.

A game that requires microtransactions to progress is doing it wrong, and it sounds like that may be the case here. But microtransactions for conveniences and customization is one of the best ways for a free game to make revenue. In fact, it's probably their only option.

Blame the bad math and game design, not their only viable business model.

Replaying Emerald, cept I hooked up an emulator to the wii for it so I could try it on the big screen. Forgot how good some of the route music is, usually just hear route music from diamond and pearl/red and blue but route 104 in emerald really caught me off guard.


SlowPokemon

I always felt like Route 104 was a play on the melody in Ever Grande City

I've finally taken the time to level up a bit without spending anything on potions or EXP orbs. I beat Taranza today at Level 26, and one of his heroic missions was to beat the him after reaching 25. I think I'm all caught up! :D

One thing I liked about the battle: it was the first (excluding Colossal Waddle Dee) boss to not reuse coding from Return to Dream Land, Triple Deluxe or Planet Robobot. Plus, his model was very well polished, and his fight was clever. I especially enjoyed him going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe" in the background to choose which Kirby to throw an electric web ball at. I can't wait to fight the last bosses.

Flinthook finally got another PS4 update; though I don't think it's quite caught up yet to the PC version, I hope the balance on some stuff is a bit better now.
And the moral of the story: Quit while you're a head.

Currently trying to toggle Pokémon diamond with EarthBound. Trying to hurry though, since I still have to get to disgaea 5 and ever oasis. Gotta get those done before hey Pikmin, splatoon 2, and Metroid Samus returns. Not to mention the zelda dlc pack one releases next week. I'm going to be pretty busy 9_6
