Cash Grabs

Name blatant cash grabs in the vidya industry. multiple versions, DLC, you name it. Post the worst of the worst.

Anything after 2007

The thing Nintendo has been doing since 1999 you mean? Not saying it's not a cash grab but I don't understand why people are now all of the sudden figuring this out tbh

Daily reminder only kikes sage,

The entirety of Gen 6 and 7.

Long story short, half the fucking game is locked behind DLC on the console versions, and Bamco is likely refusing to fix a massive bug in the PC version because fixing it would allow pirates to play without smashing their face into their keyboards.

He isn't wrong though.

Man you're really going all out with this 'I hate sun and moon' thing aren't you? Just don't buy the game if you're not happy.
But if you like pokemon, you'll end up buying it so you can keep up with your friends at school, won't you OP?

Evolve became the perfect example of jewry in the industry.
Fuck Watch-Doge too

THIRTY DOLLARS
THIRTEEN LEVELS

That's like 2 dollars and 4 cents per level.

train/truck simulator
sims 3
anything paradox
anything EA

This is fine though because it's Nintendo

It doesn't help that the average play time is three hours. It looks and feels like a bad Unity game too.

It was clearly made by someone who had no idea what they were doing. They took a collectathon at face value; its about collecting things. So they throw down 600 balls of wool a level to collect, grouped together in 10-20 bundles. No point, no deeper purpose.

But USUM adds twice the amount of story and shit.
It's the same as Monster Hunter, you buy the first one if you absolutely must or just wait for the re-release like everyone else.

...

You mean I can get stopped twice as often to be inundated with twice more shitty anime tier story?

HOLY SHIT NIGGER SIGN ME THE FUCK UP

Just pirate it

...

...

Who actually wants to play Sword Art besides weeboos?

Does anyone have a dump of all the new pokedex entries?

...

You know what I hate from the whole thing? having all those alternate forms in one generation and being unable to carry them onto the next one.

Reported for not even trying to hide your kikery.

Every video game made to be sold is a cash grab, you fucking retard.

This has never happened

Also this has never happened

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
Spikey-eared Pichu.

I'm also plugging my ears.
LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR ANY OF YOU, IM LIVING IN MY SAFE SPACE BECAUSE I GET TRIGGERED SO FUCKING EASILY. LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU HATERS, YOU'RE ALL WRONG LALALALALA

Really? could you migrate Therian genies to Gen 6? what about Deerling seasonal forms? which you NEED to set beforehand, are there DNA splicers in Gen 6 for Kyurem?

US/UM weren't announced until June this year, which is more than half a year after release of Sun and Moon.
Hardly an alternate form. Should they have included that going forward? Yes, but is that the straw that will really break the camel's back?

How does it feel to be absolutely wrong, Mr. (1)?

Yes
Yes
Yes
You really could have looked this up all yourself.

Holy fuck.

Looks like I need to find a different source, still pisses me off how Deerling needs to come in a different form before transferring, no way of getting them in-game.

Games are sold for a profit, that's true, but it's not a cash grab unless one game gets really popular and a company pumps out a whole shitload of it hoping to capitalize on that new popularity; and even then, people only think it's a cashgrab when the games are bad. Liberty City Stories, for example, might well be a cash grab, except nobody thought it was really shitty so nobody complained.

what about those who play latest pokemon games so they can stay sharp in competitions?

While Game Freak is constantly shit on for removing game features from Pokemon between generations (rightly so, most of the time) there's a few things they never remove usually and one of them are entire Pokemon including alternate forms. Spiky Eared Pichu is the only exception whic is locked to a generation (unless you also want to count the Cosplay Pikachu from ORAS and the Ash Hat Pikachu from this generation). The Therian Genies can be switched once you get the mirror thing, and the DNA Splicer is usually given to you at some point in-game.

...

Welp, I stand corrected, the parent needing to be in that form can be solved by trading but still a pain when they introduce seasons in one generation just to discard them in the next.

At this point they are pulling shit out of their asses to make "new" things even the movies aren't safe also they made Cynthia a milf out of fucking nowhere with a retarded child (Which i'm glad it's not canon since the new movie sucks ass and she will be erased from history over time since she was made to replace Misty)

I think you might be retarded, Cynthia wasn't in Pokemon I Choose You, and the movie is an alternate retelling. Are you really this autistic?

I mean, it lived up to its legacy.

...

It's not really hard to have "twice the content" when there was fuck all content in the first release.

t. retard

What the fuck is this thread even about anymore? Just seems like bitch central for whiny pokefags at this point.

Well, whatever. I nominate every single Katamari Damacy sequel. The first one was so unique in both style and gameplay. And then Namco had to shit on that uniqueness by pumping out so many carbon copy sequels.

...

What the fuck? Didn't that company go out in the early 2000s?

I shouldn't have bought sun

It felt kinda like the writing in We Love Katamari was shitting on the fans who asked for a sequel. I guess the devs knew they couldn't really improve on the original.

Daily reminder that the E-reader existed.

anything anime made by bandai namco.

In theory, for the first game you could find somebody to trade with to complete the dex, since the only difference was a few being harder to find or unavailable in one version or the other. Wouldn't be too much of a challenge at the time since it was a megahit at first. Then they started doing the even better third versions.

Gen three had the seeds of cancer with the version-exclusive legendaries, but it REALLY started going to shit when the design started to presume access to both versions in Black and White.
>Landorus itself can be battled here if Tornadus and Thundurus are in the player's party and one of them is originally from the player's game.

You know this little detail came back to bite someone. Getting a sequel to the SAME DAMN VERSION is where I draw the line.

...

Yeah Nintendo is still doing Mario, Zelda and Pokémon.

Same old same old.

Are you mad at black and white 2 or just ignoring them?

It's only a cash grab if you give them money

...

I'm at the "not caring about Pokémon at all" stage.

...

I came to laugh at this guy

Furries and liberals also exist, just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be.

wheres catching all of the pokemon play into this? i mean, theres like a thousand of those guys now, thats the real point of the game

This. I've transcended beyond even caring about the girls and porn. Especially since the female protagonist in USUM isn't even half as cute as the one from SM.

I did that once back in XY. Caught or traded for every single solitary one of the fuckers. Got a little plaque in-game and everything. It was possibly the most empty feeling achievement I've ever felt in video games. Pokemon isn't about the destination of possessing all of the Pokemon.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Now this is autism

Ebin, /vp/ is that way my dude

Going for your logic, entertainment and time-wasting in general shouldn't have existed in the first place just because they can be done.

well no, you're right. but thats the only reasonable thing i could see it being worthwhile for, the sheer quantity of characters seems to be the games most defining feature, even if by no fault of game freak

*unzips*
there goes my no fap streak of 2 days

even the most well marketed anti-establishment games like watch dogs 2 are cash grabs. video games stopped being niche a long time ago, now you can sell shit like just dance and brain age for a full 60 bucks without fail. the games you play might not be cash grabs, but video games are slowly becoming a tasteless corporate ploy just like film. so yeah, theyre cash grabs. its just that the only ones that are obvious to someone uninclined to the inner workings of corporate fuckery are shit like super mario odyssey and overwatch

...

...

What's wrong with you, Holla Forums?

Can't forgive XCom2 for this.

...

They did the same thing with Rayquaza in HGSS.

Funnily enough, I did that in ORAS, and the first Pokémon I encountered after getting the shiny charm was shiny.
But yeah, it's not really worth it.

/vp/ is a porn board on this site, user. Go back to 4chan.

and you need to go back >>>/cuckchan/

Think about how stupid you are. Especially considering everything can be done online and you never even have to speak to another person to get almost everything legally.

...

According to this chart, I'm well past the ascension.

Shove a knife up your ass and kill yourself faggot. Stay in r/4chan or whatever shithole you crawled out of

this reads like an edgy copypasta

We should get him to play his “high level” team against one of our Showderp setups.

/vp/ is full of tumblrinas now.

Again, games are developed to be fiscal products, so them being designed to appeal are entirely reasonable. It's only a cash grab when a game is put out fast to capitalize on some trend or popular series, and also when it's shit. Saint's Row, for example, is meant to bite off of GTA's popularity, but it's actually a good game so nobody would call it a cash grab; Ninety-Nine Nights, conversely, is meant to take off of Dynasty Warriors/Sengoku Basara, and it's shit so it's obviously a cash grab.

Pretty sure his pack of tapus ft. genie and clefable would lose to snips, crocune, FREE, alola akbar, cuckle, and echoes vol.3

Reeeee!!! Nermies xDDD FUCKING CISNORMATIVE NEUROTYPICALS!!!
#SpecialSnowflake

But does it have 3 different death animations per enemy? I never beat bubsy as a kid, didn't find the game that interesting but I loved watching all the ways bubsy could die, like slowly sinking in a 2 inches puddle with a napoleon hat for example.
