    If they have good rpg mechanics I might play it for a bit.

    Yeah, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'll stick with Marvel's Avengers.

    I won't even give this "game" the respect of researching it. Just had to say the headline made me sad enough to comment.

    I really enjoyed Poke Go when it first came out. Was a fun way to get some steps in and I enjoyed collecting things.  It was a win win.  I still know people who do it.  I'm not a 5+ year player, so I left it long ago. I'll definitely try the marvel one.

    It makes perfect lore sense that you are going around yielding Thor's hammer and so on. :)

    The Harry Potter game was a poor clone of Poke Go. Wonder if Niantic has figured out anything new besides walk to location, click on thing, do repetitive action, get 1 percent of something useful.

    You haven't figured out yet that "woke" is what racists say when there are "too many" non-whites in anything?

    You are labeling someone using a label with a label, is that helping us to understand each other?

    Niantic is just a one trick pony at this point.

    Pokemon GO was a massive success, because the formula worked.

    Then they tried with the Harry Potter AR game and miserably failed and had to shut it down 2 years later.

    It's same with the Pikmin game they released earlier this year. It's boring and repetitive like hell and I wouldn't be surprised it will shutdown soon as well.

    This Marvel AR game will be no different.

    Yes. Racism prevents people from understanding each other, and consequently intervening against it helps people to understand each other.

    Maybe. There are newer ish ar games but all of them are pretty shallow. Since we haven't actually seen the game yet I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. They've had to learn something at this point, right?

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    That is the issue.

    All games so far are all based on the core framework of their first game Ingress.

    Pokemon GO happened to perfectly translate on that same framework with Gyms and Pokestops.

    The Harry Potter game (Wizarding World) was based on the same framework, as is the current game Pikmin Bloom.

    Niantic is simply stuck in that Ingress framework.  After years of playing Pokemon GO, people are simply just tired of it.

    That is why Wizarding World failed and why Pikmin Bloom will fail too (this last one is even more simplistic and boring). These games just don't/didn't translate well onto that framework.

    I don't see how this Marvel AR game is going to be any different.

    When the fascist apocalypse comes, and it's coming sooner than you think, you'll have to pick a side. Taking the middle ground just won't cut it. :)

    Well I hope they at least take a lesson from that trickster god Loki; It never works out as planned and in the end you end up with a bigger mess and thrown into the Void/purgatory.

    No such apocalypse is coming, indeed none of any sort is coming; but surveys do show people belief such things. I think you spoke partially in jest, but people even tick a zombie apocalypse as a strong contender! You are reminding me of a friend who I met in her teens, she thought a wave of right-wing extremism was going to sweep across the UK, 30 to 35 years later she still thinks it is going to happen. It's been a long wait. :)

    When you consider how we weathered a pandemic you might think that would make people more confident in the future, but I doubt it has.

    To me the word woke is often used to label to dismiss a conversation and likewise racism can get used that way too. We come on here with no idea of each other's lives and history, but we sometimes use a single word to sum each other up. That seems to me to be a caricature.

    As we are getting political, I will make this my last post on this issue, but by all means have the last word.

    I've figured out that "woke" is used differently by different people. I was curious if Timacek was willing to explain the use made of it here.

    It seems not, probably a wise choice in this circumstance.
