Now I'm hoping the Special Edition will look at least as good as the modded versions!<br /><br />The ENB you linked looks pretty good. If I can't resist the urge to play (which is a real possibility now I've been watching those gorgeous mod videos), I'll use that. :)Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-86373886550963245392016-07-14T23:51:04.844+02:002016-07-14T23:51:04.844+02:00If you have all the DLCs you might as well wait fo...If you have all the DLCs you might as well wait for the Special Edition then as you will be getting that for free.

Luckily I am too much into Skyrim right now testing some mods (as always) and trying to get some last achievements before they release the Special Edition. Now if Twitter goes back to do nothing but talk about Overwatch again....<br /><br />The pokemon battling system does have some interesting ideas (elements being strong against certain other elements for example) but not enough to keep me engaged with it. Regardless of my feelings of the game, Pokemon Go is generating some very amusing tweets and stories to read. :)Rakunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253609981961681014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-58364533012755476432016-07-14T19:06:38.556+02:002016-07-14T19:06:38.556+02:00I absolutely love those aspects, too!

Although it makes me wonder if they shouldn't have excluded some places from the game. You don't really want running and shouting children in a place dedicated to rest and peace. Then again, people are smart enough to handle both augmented reality and reality at the same time (most of the time).Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-46814331362695930102016-07-14T18:57:48.661+02:002016-07-14T18:57:48.661+02:00You may be right about Overwatch.

After the game went F2P you don't want to be reading World Chat anymore, but I have countless examples showing those helpful people are still around as well. The LOTR setting attracts a certain type of people; Overwatch may as well. To appeal to hardcore army-loving shooter people, the game may look way to colourful and cheerful.<br /><br />I always found the pokémon battling system interesting, especially if you get to know it a bit better (which I probably wouldn't have had without theorycrafter Conrad showing me the way), but if the wandering around looking for pokémon thing isn't for you, then I guess the pokémon games are indeed not for you. And since Pokémon Go is basically built around that aspect, you may just skip that as well. :PRavanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-6984893719817973142016-07-14T00:05:59.666+02:002016-07-14T00:05:59.666+02:00Whoa, Heleen, I don't know if I can accept tha...Whoa, Heleen, I don't know if I can accept that.

Once that pass and most people moved to other games it will be only the "This is srs business!" people left. <br /><br />In any case, if I get the itch to that kind of game I still have Splatoon for the Wii U. The good part about that game is if I am not doing too well, I can always help my team by trying to paint as much territory as possible. Also, it helps there is no communication during matches so people can't harass me. And the matches are pretty short too. :p<br /><br />I guess the problem is that I am just not into collecting in games. Which seems like a pretty much "Well, duh! Pokemon is not for you then!" moment. But at the time I did try Pokemon more seriously (back during the Pokemon Ruby days) I didn't think as much about my own tastes. So without the allure of battling other pokemons to catch them.... There is pretty much nothing to interest me in the games. I do like the design of the pokemons themselves though. They are pretty interesting visually.Rakunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253609981961681014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-75502212510531045822016-07-13T00:27:36.047+02:002016-07-13T00:27:36.047+02:00That sounds like an awesome way to spend time with...That sounds like an awesome way to spend time with family.

But my 16 yearold son loves it, every day he is roaming the city (The Hague) with his friends. My girlfriend, and fathers of his friends, drive with them through the city in search for Pokémon. And I love seeing that. Better than him playing League of Legends 24/7.
