Re: Review: Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (Switch)

Another reviewer I follow said that he found the characters and enemies in this game better than Xenoblade chronicles 2. Actually the only gripe he seemed to have was the environments seems kind of poor for what the switch can do but otherwise he really loved it.

I know when I see combat for this game it appeals to me more than what I've seen of Xenoblade.

Re: Hands On: Revisiting Kanto With Pokémon: Let’s Go! Pikachu And Let’s Go! Eevee On Switch

I don't remember Pokemon following you outside of Pikachu being in the original yellow.
I don't remember being able to ride any Pokemon large enough to carry you in the original yellow.
I don't remember co-op where a friend is able to drop right in in the original yellow.
The deep dive showed interactions I don't remember in the original yellow.
I don't remember a full 3D HD world in the original yellow.

Is it fair to just call it an overpriced reskin? The only gripe I have is the lack of wild Pokemon battles since now you have to catch several repeats of Pokemon you already have. I think that's a dumb mechanic.

Re: Pokémon's President Confirms 2019 RPG Will Include Many New Pokémon And Better Graphics

Please no open world. I'd be fine with a sandbox but Pokemon doesn't need that. I want at least 100 new Pokemon and unique cities and dungeons with a Black and White level of depth to the story. It doesn't have to be world ending stuff but more complex and make you question the Pokemon society. It would have to be appropriate for children of course but give me that and I'm a happy fan.

I want this to succeed because more Pokemon is never a bad thing as far as I'm concerned but if this has any affect on the core games I'm out. This is not going to make me pick up Pokemon GO and honestly with these new games I'll probably beat the story and get that new exclusive Pokemon and call it a day. Core games tend to give me tons more replay ability with battle factory type features and shiny hunting.

@Devlind I hate how that's become such a buzzword because someone has a differing opinion.

I'm gonna get this because it's Pokemon and I'd rather play that on my Switch then on my phone. I just hope using Pokemon GO isn't mandatory. It's supposed to be a 'reimagining' of Pokemon Yellow so there should be a plot, gym battles and side quest. The lack of random pokemon encounters is a let down though.

Re: Video: Discussing What Took Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate So Long to Come to the West

There is nothing anyone can say to make me believe this upscaled port was somehow a threat to Monster Hunter World sales. I don't think the people saying that even believe it. If that was the case then just release it digitally at first then do a physical release once world was out. The die hards would have gotten it digitally and those who got World and liked it would get it physically. The base game was already localized with generations so don't try to tell me it took them this long just to localize the XX parts of it. Also they have been saying for months that there were no plans despite you all saying it takes almost a year to do localization. They would have had to been doing it while still marketing world.
