ROADBLOCK GAME HARD DRIVE CRASH FULL

There was barely any interesting characters and the villains were just nameless grunts with no memorable commanders or even a plan that the player can follow. Shattered Light was a game that I was curious about but ultimately dropped because barely anything had happened by the time I got to the fifth gym.

Not to shame anyone since I know all too well that not every fangame-developer can be proficient in every single area of development, but sometimes you can really tell when all the time and effort was put into having as many areas and Pokemon as possible as opposed to actually writing a story that brings everything together. What usually makes me stop playing is when the games fail to provide a strong story-hook that keeps me invested in the game and it’s world, just expecting me to keep going from town to town just because that is what you’re supposed to do in a Pokemon-game.

And even thought I was put off by a…certain scene in Chapter 3 (the one on the bridge, if you know you know) the first time I played during v17 due to what at the time felt like simply shoving in a really sensitive topic just for shock-value, the full v19 release (as well as generally having a better idea of what I was doing) gave more context and made me care about the character enough that I could see the steps that drove him to that point. Reborn may be hard as balls and throws some really difficult challenges your way due to the various systems at play, but I was so invested that I came back time after time just to see where it was going. What 'Quit Moments' in Pokemon Fangames and Romhacks caused you to drop them?įor me, I can absolutely push past frustrating gameplay if the story is engaging enough and the pay-off is sufficient enough. Maybe the game felt it was entitled to too much of your time for what it was, seemed to think you have all the time in the world to lose, and that caused you to decide it's not worth another second. Maybe the Pokemon Essentials game was designed to crash if Cheat Engine was opened to SpeedHack the game, and the Rom was edited to crash or screw the player over if you decided to use any classic time-savers like rare candies. Maybe it was some dialogue or story event egregiously horrible enough to make you reach for the Alt and F4 keys and shift+delete the whole folder from your hard drive. Maybe you started a game and felt 2-3 hours of Tackle/Scratch grinding your starter against Harden-spamming bugs and Tackle-spamming Rattata and other nonchallenging powerless uninteresting nonthreatening time-consuming enemies wasn't worth it. Maybe it was losing a dragged-out unfun battle against blatantly cheating opponents only for your victory to be ignored by the game deciding you lost anyway, or for RNG to ruin your day and force you to lose, making you endure an absurdly long run (or worse, walk) back from the game's starting location before you can make it back to where you were due to a lack of healing locations. Maybe it was a poorly designed early-game forest/cave route full of empty space, uninteresting space-filling paths, bad balancing, and puzzle design that thinks time wasted equals difficulty, with opponents that don't make you think until you hit level 40, if ever. Maybe it was an overly long unskippable cutscene with unbearably obnoxious characters. Maybe it was a level curve that ordered you to start grinding for EXP, cash, or Game Corner coins before you're allowed to progress. Maybe the game was unpolished, full of typos and bad grammar and clumsily characterized one-note cliches that go nowhere. You're all familiar with 'Quit Moments' as Josh Strife Hayes once talked about, right?
