I wonder if augmented reality will truly be revolutionary, to gaming at least, as people make it out to be or if it'll be a gimmick that will prove itself to just be annoying and tedious to deal with for playing games. Motion controls didn't seem to really continue to be something desirable in gaming.
Well it did a much better job at getting people outside and active than Mrs Obama.
If they weren't gonna get off their phones anyway, they might as well do it while walking. Plus I know plenty of people have actually socialized when playing the app. Plus my family has been doing it as a sort of group thing, which helps a lot since a fair amount of my family has some health issues.
i found my cartoon form \^0^/
So youre the cat?
I dunno if I have a cartoon form. Or at least I havent seen it yet : p Will share if I find it though.
Oh, I never showed you guys my new headphones.
So my pair of Sentry headphones broke pretty quickly (dont buy Sentry), so I had to buy another pair. Im really happy with what I found though. I bought a pair of Vivitar Studio Headphones. This is what they look like.
Never had a pair of headphones that were one solid color btw : p A friend saw them and said "these are much too pink", he thought they were completely ridiculous, did not like them apparently : p But they sound awesome, they are the best pair of headphones Ive had since my Sony headphones died out on me. Am very happy with them.
Oh and thesame day that I bought these, my new cd came in the mail, which was great : p Most of the cd is just several different layers of bass guitar-
So that was a fun way to try out my new headphones : p Im definitely happy with them, now lets just hope they last me more than a month : /

My issue with people complaining about Pokemon Go is always when it pertains to people actually walking around. Like, 47 Million people were logged in worldwide recently. Assuming most of those people were moving, this means so many people were out of their rooms that it could only be beneficial. Like yeah a lot of them aren't paying attention to anything but their phones, but a lot are also moving in groups, or are talking to others. "They won't get off their phones still" isn't a valid complaint to me, because it's better than what we had before.
We can talk all day about the server issues, the lack of a good battle system, etc. But overall, it just annoys me when people complain about something that could make so many more people active. It's important to note that it is still a good thing, even if we're still not as close to getting people to detach from their phones.
now how do we get the FPS crowd off their rump?
I'd say give them real guns, but you know that wouldn't be good.
political stuff aside, a better idea would be a local multiplayer camera game. or something.
like a bunch of people get together and the aim is to score by shooting at other players using the phone camera.
Oh my post wasn't directed at you it was directed at a certain someone else hahah. Anyway, I do see the validity of your statements but one of my biggest concerns is that this is really looking to be a fad due to the very limited novelty of the game. Once the hysteria dies down what's after that for a lot of these people?
And also yeah if you're not really aware most mobile games aren't directed towards gamers which is why they're lacking in story and tend to have very basic gameplay and for the most part are designed to be endless.
is it me or does it seem like mobile games are taking over portable consoles?
That's been happening for a few years now ever since the late 2000's or so. In hindsight something like a phone game would really appeal to those who well use their phones for anything, and it really doesn't grab a gamers or a person who enjoys games attention. Just those who well want something nice, easy, and ready to be played whenever take this Pokemon Go thing. As it doesn't appear that the Pokemon themselves have any moves or attacks or anything like the portable games, it just catches the attention of people who enjoy stuff like Candy Crush.
@Magma - That is valid, but I firmly think that at least there will be a fair amount of people who will stick around, and at least be like "Hey this walking thing's pretty cool! I'll keep with it!"
Also honestly I didn't have a phone for most of my life, so I've never really been into mobile stuff. I barely even turn on my phone. (I do get that the phone market is generally pointed towards casual gamers tho.)

I'm just saying I think it's too optimistic to think that this game will really have an impact on a large majority of people. Pokemon Go is an extrinsic thing and those kinds of motivations are limited and with those sorts of things, a step in the right direction may very well just be nothing more than that and people may very easily revert to the way they were previously.
Honestly the portable console gaming market and the mobile gaming market are almost entirely different. The portable console gaming market is essentially an extension of the home console gaming market and dedicated to full fledged video games. The mobile phone gaming market is targeted towards non-gamers in large quantities by offering easy to play simple games that are pretty much just simple time burners.
