The biggest thing is that you won’t know how long you will be able to play it. At some point they’ll stop updating the app, a new Android version will be released that’s not compatible with the app, or they will take down the server that the app relies on etc. It could be years, a decade, but at some point it’ll be either really hard or impossible to play anymore.

Everything else? That’s implying FC and Ultimate Team aren’t being half-assed.

Why would they even add Denuvo to a 30 year old game anyway…

Good point and thanks for pointing it out, I misread it. A shareholder and stakeholder aren’t (necessarily) the same indeed.

“review and pursue various transformational strategic and capitalistic options to extract the best value for stakeholders”.

Ah there it is. That’s the only thing that matters anyway.

I know UK left the EU, but I wasn’t aware they had joined USA.

The worst thing is (was?) that you couldn’t even build the car without looking at a tutorial online. So many steps that are impossible to figure out on your own.

I like the game and spent a lot of time with it, but when I last played it half a year ago it still felt pretty unfinished.

Edit: looking at the changelog, it’s the first update in two years and they didnt really add anything new, apart from some bug fixes and a “feature” where you can die from a wasp in your house if you leave the doors open all the time. They won’t be adding any more features after this. How can they even call this 1.0.

Then the news title will change to 2026 as well.

I think the saying was about planting a Half Life Tree, but I doubt it’s ever going to happen.

The 8bitdo wireless Genesis controller is pretty good and faithful to the original.

There’s at least one company still producing them

I remember seeing the news, the last consumer CRT production facility stopped producing around a decade ago, but I’m having trouble finding the article. They’re still being produced for commercial uses though (Boeing 747 cockpits use them for example).

I think so yes, it doesn’t stray too far from the original story but adds a lot on top of it and adds a lot of post game mechanics that I haven’t encountered yet. I had never played Crystal before (but I did play Silver and I think Crystal’s story is 90% same?) and it seems really polished (haha). It just feels like a much more modern game than what I remember Silver being.

I’m looking for a similar sort of ROM hack for Emerald since I never played gen 3 and later. I think I’ll go for Modern Emerald but I’d love to hear other suggestions.

I have gone down the same rabbit hole lately. I’ve been playing Polished Crystal and am planning to play Modern Emerald next.

Polished Crystal adds a ton of features and I love it. They added many Pokémon that you can all catch, it adds a lot of new moves and introduces the modern types and physical/special split which I prefer. It also seems like a lot more difficult than vanilla gen 2 with revised gym leader parties. I’d suggest playing the 9bit version which has almost a decade of new features added to the 2.2.0 version you usually find.

I only read the first one so far. It’s alright but they’re not written by Clancy sadly.

Like the Splinter Cell books? (At least the first one).

Edit: nevermind, I’m so wrong. It starts with a different agent at chapter 1 that threw me off but the entire book is focused on Sam Fisher.

So uhm, they made a mobile port of a pc/console port of a mobile port of the original pc/console games?

This is genius

Finally a good solution to my white sd-card. It looks so bad in my black Steam Deck.
