The Witcher The Witcher: Monster Slayer - augmented reality mobile RPG

I hope the monster coming out of the phone and attacking you IRL actually gets implemented, so that people who play this kind of time-wasting games might get killed and leave us alone.

Aren't all games time-wasting?

You got me. There's absolutely no difference between, let's say, Arcanum and the Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery mobile game, whose only purpose is to trick young kids into spending real money to buy virtual currency that lets them skip artificial "idle times".

I don't like the monetization schemes they push either y'know, no need to be so hostile. But phone games that make ppl more active is a good thing. Like have you tried Ring Fit Adventure? It's pretty fun and it doesn't have a f2p p2w model afaik.

If you need a mobile game to become more active, you are also probably in need of serious professional psychological help (then, who knows, maybe your psychologist might suggest you to try said mobile game, but you should still see a doctor first).

As you already highlighted, Ring Fit Adventure has nothing to do with the kind of games I criticized. It's an 80$ videogame for a console, not some free-to-play crap for smartphones that constantly ask you to throw money at it.

Also, more often than not, these mobile games do absolutely nothing to make people more active. Maybe it was true in the beginning, when this entire craze started, but now Pokémon GO clones allow you to play without moving a single step. In my experience, it's far more frequent for these dumb games to "force" individuals to play them at every possible moment, even during social gatherings, alienating them from actual social interactions.

Augmented reality actually has huge potential and some day it's going to be incline. The game itself will probably suck but once the genre gets off the ground it might start producing good games in a decade or two.

Nothing good will ever come out of the mobile market. The monetization models used in mobile games don't allow for it.

Microtransactions will always suck but I'm still happy the genre is progressing, even if it's not something I'll play.

Ehh... they just want to milk retards for millions of dollars, and know exactly that their usual target audience, especially Slavs, will completely ignore it. Fine by me to take their money.

I remember the times when Angry Birds was a game about throwing birds at stuff. Then I tried it years later, and - buy this, buy that, buy more birds, buy powers. What a shit.

There should be strict laws against this sort of thing y'know, but as always they are too slow to regulate new markets. A lot of responsibility should also fall on Snapple and Scroogle, because they are responsible for the applications sold on their storefront things.

Don't hate on phone games so much, some of them are nice. I like to play CYOA games and card games and they work fine on a smartphone.

 

[RobotSquirrel]

Missed opportunity. They could've changed it to Monster Layer and then we'd have a real competitor to pokemon go.

What "card games" work fine on a smartphone? Heartstone is AIDS.

 

[The Wall]

Money earned on this should be given to B Team, or some other studio to make Witcher spinoff, in vein of Witcher 1. Maybe even X-COM Witcher, where you upgrade Kaer Morhen and control monster population with your witchers during the times when five steps away from city walls meant guaranteed ghoul gang rape. Instead, it will be spent on implementing dick augmentations in Cyberpunk 2077

Not that kind of card games, silly. Games involving the standard french 52 card deck and some other nonsense like Onirim (which is an adaption of a phyiscal card game). Collectible ones are trash y'know.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

shame. on accouncement i hoped it would have been an app to find all the nearby prostitutes, and then play dice with them.

 

[Cat Dude]

Sorry Pokemon GO hype died years ago.

Just do what Geralt would do – start doing somersaults around the mugger at a very high speed, occassionally stopping to slap the back of his head. A couple minutes of this and he's dead, with zero danger to you, as you cannot be harmed during a somersault. Might take up to half an hour if he's a red skull enemy though.

1,5K likes in 4 days, that's the Pokemon GO killer right there.
