I'm playing through it now and I love it so much. I love doing the side quests the most but the football matches are so broken and funny. I laughed so much when I was in a football tournament with toddlers and elderly people, It's so absurd. I even lost to the toddlers, one time haha. I am now in the beach and I am excited to explore.
Personally, I am enjoying the games but good on people for getting refunds. I think that Pokémon can come out in any state, I am talking barely playable and it will still get a pass.
It looks like they plan to sweep the performance issues under the rug and remain silent. Everyone involved in this game are cowards if that's the case.
The deletion of QoL stuff is mind boggling and the game just feels worse than PLA. I am enjoying filling the pokedex but I can have that enjoyment in other pokemon games so this one isn't anything special. Obvious performance problems are obvious.
Without the bad stuff, an 8/10 for me. I don't know what pokemon can do at this point to be a 10/10. Maybe not selling 2 versions of the same game. That'd be a start.
Believe it or not, I'm not having too many problems with bugs but I will say that Game Freak is again going one step forward and two steps back once again.
I am just capturing Pokémon right now and the region is so damn boring, made worse by the extremely ugly terrain. I really just wished the kept it like Pokemon Sword and Shield. I would like nice detailed routes and a wild area. I have no idea where I am going, even with the map. The terrain just doesn't connect well.
Also, finding shiny Pokémon without having a audio or visual jingle is insane considering how pixelated the Pokémon are. I only spotted a shiny Fletchling for staring at it for about a minute. Why did they not just keep it like Legends: Arceus.
You CANNOT turn off battle animations which is awful because the battles take so long. Why does it say that my Pokémon cannot move because it is paralyzed but then shows the animation AFTER telling me. It's so slow and frustrating.
As of right now, Pokémon Sword and Shield feels like the newer game to me. There's many more things I wanted to say but I'll leave it at that though. I'll still play through it though. Getting a living 'dex will always be the best part of Pokémon for me.
Ok, this sucks. I knew there would be problems with this game but I didn't think it would be as bad as said in the review. I think Gamefreak are being too ambitious at this point. They need to make a game that is within their teams skill level or ya know, hire more people.
Anyway, I am still getting both so my opinion does not matter. I haven't had a new game in ages and no matter how bad Pokémon games are now, I always go back through them for years. Plus, I am buying both before the price skyrockets.
These games CANNOT be worse than DP/SP, so that's a start. I'm really hoping these games are as good as Sw/Sh. Since, I really enjoyed them. Hearing that most of the jank is in the overworld makes me sad, I really hope it doesn't take me out of the game too much.
The mechanics themselves are everything I wanted in a pokemon game so I am excited to try them out. The new dex also looks great from what I have seen. From this point on, I am really interested in the remake situation, I assume we are going to get B/W then B2/W2 but it's about time we had a johto remake.
To end this off, all I will say is Gamefreak, GIVE US POKÉMON: LET'S GO, JOHTO!
I hated Sword and Shield when it came out. I thought it was so boring but when I truly gave it a chance, It became one of my favourite Pokémon games. It has problems which are embarrassing and I will absolutely not defend but I loved the sporty theme of the region and the Isle of Armor is one of my best Pokémon experiences.
It's been an awesome run for this game. I won't say I'll miss it because i still jump on every now and then but i will miss seeing upcoming events for it. This game had way more support (mystery gift Pokémon) than sp/bd.
Don't care about Bayonetta and platinum games. The actor is being quite childish but platinum games are also pretty sketchy with the lying.
Anyway, I think of Troy baker and Jennifer Hale as the call of duty of voice actors. Their VA is good but stale. Whenever i hear that they are going to VA in a game I am interested in, I just let out a long sigh.
I just cannot get into Minecraft. I tried recently and I really want to but the game is just too empty and really boring. I think that is because I don't have a creative bone in my body. Making stuff is hard and boring. I like the world itself though. I wish there were more things to do in the actual world. Oh and the game really needs to start looking like the trailers on consoles because the game looks so lifeless.
This is a gold mine of a thread to see everyone's true colours. "I don't care because I like Bayonetta". I'd like to see this happen with another game, maybe an EA or Activision game and see the response on this website. So many hypocritical people on here and they can't even see it.
Personally, I don't care about Bayonetta or Platinum games but I think it's childish for the VA to ask fans to boycott the game. You got a garbage deal from a job? Bite your lip and move on to other VA jobs.
I will never buy another PowerA controller in my life again. No matter how beautiful they are. Complete and utter garbage. I'd be ashamed if my company was making controllers with the quality of these things. I'm sure someone will say "i have had mine for years". Don't care, they are awful. Nice looking controller though.
Funny that the slogan is "Forever Physical". If you don't pre-order the first day then what you want is pretty much gone. What's the budget for each series? £1000. Pointless company that relies on FOMO.
Janky, weird and aging? Congratulations, you just completely failed at describing Dragon's Dogma. It still has one of the best combat systems in 2022. The story surrounding the arisen is also really interesting when compared with something like the dragonborn from skyrim.
Are we getting a physical version for any of the consoles? I'm mainly asking for the nintendo switch but i didn't see anything about a physical version.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!
No WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
This news has made my entire year boiiiii!
I'm shaking.
This is my favourite manga. The entire abyss is freaking amazing. Dude, i just can't wait to experience this world in video game form. I hope we get to fight some of the awesome and frightening creatures of the abyss.
@Mattock1987 - It is a Gamecube game that is a sequel to Pokémon Colosseum. Both games are amazing but unfortunately, they are really expensive these days, like all Gamecube games are.
I have given myself a £200 limit on my wishlist and that will cover them all i think. It's my own fault. I should have bought them throughout its life cycle. I'm stupid and it hurts.
I still can't believe that TLoZ: BotW for the Wii U will be incomplete one day when we cannot redownload software and the DLC is gone forever.
Personally, i think this hurts me a lot more than if the Nintendo Switch's shop closes because of the virtual console games.
This has been on my mind since it was announced lol.
I don't mean to be dramatic but i am devastated tbh. I knew they would close down soon but i kept telling myself that i'd get a job and get everything on my wishlist but that's not happening now.
So now i gotta dip into my savings to buy my wishlist which is about £150. See you in a few more months new Kirby game.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Confirms Eevee And Charizard For First Tera Raid Battles
Of course it was going to be these two. Oh well, still quite excited. I hope this game has as much fun stuff as Sword/Shield + DLC.
I really hope there is some kind of Tera max adventures. Grinding for legendary shinies is so fun that way.

Re: Capcom Has Revised Its Earnings Forecast Due To Strong Sales Of Series Like Monster Hunter
Man, i'm so glad Capcom are back to how they were. They were especially awful from 2009 - 2014. From what i can remember anyway.
I'm just waiting for a Dragons Dogma 2 reveal. I think i am more hyped for that than BotW 2 and i am REALLY hyped for BotW 2.

Re: Talking Point: How's Your Switch Holding Up After 5 Years?
