To give some more context into this, the game is so broken that the current any% speedrun record is a little under 25 minutes.

Of course, a game having glitches that let you get to the end really quickly doesnt automatically mean the whole game is a broken mess; ocarina of time lets you do that but i dont think most people playing the game casually would run into anything too bad.

In this context though, it's a symptom of how little time the team had to polish anything.

The next Pokemon game looks like they really do care to make something both new and exciting, but that just makes it all the more clear this one existed for some blend of obligation and having something out for the holiday.

I was able to do that one wallskip glitch in the Switch online Link To The Past where you somehow fuck with the collision and just tell Ganon to fuck off while you steal the Triforce. I mean it is a ROM file after all. Its still a great game tho.

Still, hearing about how the new Pokemon remasters/remakes can be beaten in such little time is funny as hell.

I'd expect the main bug to get patched out before too long. Sub-30 speedruns aren't a problem, but it allows duping, which is

Ah right. Duping as well. I mean IIRC wasn't Pokemon duping a glitch in previous games? Those couldn't really be patched out except by fans and, well, do you think they're gonna fix that when they can do all sorts to their games? Like add a "Kill this Person" prompt?

So it seems like Take-Two is getting worse.

Basically, they are copyright claiming words like “Take Two”, “Rockstar” and “Bully”.

AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!

Wait, "bully" specifically? Either they're gonna shit all over that game next or its some sorta weirdass take that to their critics.

Duping has been possible in a bunch of Pokémon games (even more modern ones), but it sounds like it's especially easy to pull off in BDSP.

Also, I've heard that a bunch of the glitches in BDSP are basically unfixable due to being baked into the engine. But I am not an expert here and that tidbit should be taken with a grain of salt.

Like the aforementioned LTTP Mirror glitch? I think that's in the GBA version too. Baked in glitches are kinda oof but as long as they aren't game breaking its cool.

Is Amazon there too? Yup, right in the top tier.

So are they sorting it by general market worth of the company or directly by the size of the bribe they doled out to be on the list?

As if it's a surprise that Forbes, a business magazine/website, supports toxic workplaces as long as they hire a lot of people.

Mighty Matilda: Take Two seems to be doing the same thing that The Fine Bros attempted to do with the word “react” or what Tim Langdon did with the word “edge”: Try to copyright claim words just to be able to sue everyone they can.

Edit: Also, WTF Forbes?

This is because Forbes relies on a market research company to gather the data. Said company surveyed about 150,000 workers to determine who were the best employers.

So Ubisoft and Activision making the list says more about the people who were asked.

If it helps, the list is of 750 companies. Activision is at #383 and Ubisoft is at #640.

Try to guess who #1 is without looking it up first.

No Konami didn't make it.

EA did (Lower than Activision so make of that what you will)

To be the slightest bit fair to EA, they haven't gotten any major complaints about their workplace culture. Yet.

[up][up] And yet rank Below Activision, so can't wait for when THAT bubble pops.

Also ranking lower than EA: Nintendo.

Can't wait to see how people react to that.

I had also expected Amazon. Mind you, they're fourth place, so we weren't that far off.

Just goes to show that worker treatment isn't what matters to Forbes.

Like I said, it's not Forbes making the judgement call. They simply outsourced the research to another company. And said company asked a ton of people what they thought of the existing employers.

So blame the people they asked for Amazon ranking so high.
