¿Y tú también acabaste jugando esa versión más veces que las otras solo por ese pequeño detalle? A mí me pasó, y comparado con juegos mucho más grandes sigue siendo el que más veces he vuelto a encender.

Sounds familiar, did your kid ever ask why the girl option wasn't there from the start?

It still holds up as a comfort game, the systems are simple but they work, and there's something nice about the pace not demanding much from you. I wouldn't call it a top tier pick against bigger RPGs though, it's just doing something different.

Comfort game contre des mastodontes narratifs, la comparaison ne joue jamais vraiment en sa faveur.

People keep pitting this against open world giants and I get why it loses, different scale entirely, but 66% win rate over 207 duels says the voters disagree with the doubters.
SammieDragon
not sure why win rate needs defending honestly, isn't 66% over 207 duels exactly the kind of number that ends this debate on its own?

still my favorite version of gold and silver honestly, anyone else replay it every couple years?

tampoco entiendo la comparación, y encima siempre pierde puntos por algo que ni siquiera intenta ser

tbh i'm tired of seeing this ranked against games ten times its scope, it's a nice update to an existing formula and that's basically it, nothing wrong with that but people act like it reinvented something
