The road trip story is a tale as old as time. Then why have games, which obsess over movement across open spaces, largely ignored the road trip story?
The Pokemon Company had retail sales worth of 10.8 billion US Dollars in the year 2023, based on the latest report.
that merch tho.
ridiculous the numbers they pull in, which makes it even worse when i think about the low budget broken games they make. or have made recently
Of course not. That's why I have tem tem because even if it's not the greatest I at least know the indie dev was trying
Great plug for Tem Tem right there. It's not the greatest but at least they tried.... 🤣
@zeek that's right it's as good or better than a pokemon game but they didn't have access to pokemon game money. So it's more of a stain on pokemon company to be in the same ballpark as them
It's time we admit that they were never really that amazing to begin with. The games have never quite reach the same level of awesomeness as the anime. Look at the last few seasons we got to wrap up Ash's adventure, and the new series. 4 lazy Switch games and a remake which was so low effort that you wouldn't be able to tell it's a remake if your weren't told beforehand. The concept of Pokemon will always be awesome, but man the games absolutely suck.

I keep reading all of this stuff about FFXV. I've never really played a Final Fantasy game, but this keeps tempting me.
Even when fast travel is available or off roading is viable, sometimes it's really nice to just trot along the road until you get to where you're going (Witcher 3). I experienced this especially in the end, when I decided to sentimentally roleplay my way to the final destination. Turns out skipping the fast travel led to some cool popup quests!
nothing says road trip like a whole lot of dystopia?
I have played none of these games. I need to jump into one. Although the road trip theme is hard to capture I would love to see more games take a stab at it.
TLOU....great characters, great story, great setting, compelling gameplay....what's not to love? Part II? I am fully expecting Naughty Dog to once more, incredibly, up the ante, and deliver yet another masterpiece.
