@Baker1000 Yes I hated that repition too, but I felt the main game was more boring in 2nd Layer. I did love in the first the repeat boss fights with 4 at a time, as the strategies involved were great, but it could have been more streamlined.
@Rohanrocks88 They do, and they are making plenty. Metroid has never been their biggest selling franchise, even though it has influenced more big indie games than any other game.
I would never purchase anything from Amazon again. Jeff Bezos, greedy B that he is. Richest man on the planet and pays no tax whatsoever. He even looks evil.
@blueracer I made many other points. It is my opinion. This game did not need to be so low budget. I miss the GTS, it is so hard to trade, the ev training method is slow, it is a real regression. I am glad you are loving the games. I think they are okay but shoiuld have been so much better.
Actually this game deserves to be review bombed. Half of the Pokemon are missing, and my legenderies would ne transferred over, the GTS has gone making trading more difficult, the battle animations are awful, the music is a god awful midi soundtrack you cant turn off, there are no touch screen controls, gigantimax is nowhere near as competitively interesting as mega evolutions, the story is just plain bad, the lack of voice acting, the pokemon not speaking their names like they do in the anime, and the game is far too low budget for a game that will likely sell 15million plus. I do not think this is review bombing, I think the lowet scores are justified in my opinion. Definitely my least favourite mainline entry since Diamond and Pearl. This is newer more powerful hardware and we deserved so much more.
@BenAV I am the same as you. Gigamtimax is nowhere near as competitively interesting as Mega forms were, the game is so low budget (inexcusable low considering it is the most profitable multifranchise in history at £90biliion), graphics and animations are poor, music is horrendous midi music, pokemon and animations are the same as 3DS pretty much, story is exceptionally weak and more than half of the Pokemon are missing with no National DeX.
Their customer support in Europe is disgusting. The call centre staff are rude, and they will not repair the drift free of charge. Worst customer support I have ever dealt with.
@Tao Any game which requires luck rather than gaming skill to be able to progress is not good game design. Other games of the time managed to require skill to beat, as did James from previous generations too.
@holygeez03 I am fully aware of the player selects line, but it is towards the end of a console life cycle before that tends to happen, much longer than other consoles and some games never do. If a game is still selling so well, why would a company reduce its price?
She has more to do with her life than stare at a screen playing Fortnite and she gets vilified for it? I have never touched it, and only know of it as I read gaming press. Why would a busy popstar/actress have a clue what Fortnite is?.
@Dirty0814 Actually there is somehing wrong with the d-pad. Google it and read the many, many articles, and watch the many videos on it. You press up or down and it also registers right and left and vice versa. I know how to play games, and I have been using a d-pad since the NES, and no other d-pad in any console does this happen. Please take your patronising comments elsewhere to people such as yourself who are unable to look at evidence and facts to form opinions.
I notice someone is going down the list disliking every comment that points out how bad the d-pad is on the Pro Controller, which has been proven many times in numerous YouTube videos and articles. I am a huge Nintendo fan, but these raging fanboys that can't deal with anyone pointing out the not so good things Nintendo do too really need to get a life.
I am looking forward to the open area. It will still be the same game but with better, more seamless exploration. I want to wait until it releases before I hold judgement as BotW was sensational. Even though it was massive I never felt lost once
I just think this game looks gorgeous. I love the art style and it is a huge improvement over Let's Go. I know not all Pokemon are available, but I do hope that all the event and legendary Pokemon are.
Fans were asked who they wanted in the game. I would now like to see some Nintendo characters in the game as DLC. I do not feel Overeatch characters would fit well and prefer the Japanese feel of all the fighters (apart from the welcome edition of Banjo Kazooie
@Snakesglowcaps I definitely do notice these things. I think about 3 or 4 times in the whole game it happened when I was leaving a building. Literally nothing really game altering at all. The physical game I read is worse than the digital copy. I also have the newer model if that could make a difference as Polygon states it has some performance gains as well as a better battery life from the new SKU.
I do not do games with micro-transactions so mobile gaming is mostly a no from me. I lived playing Gorogoa on my mobile that I bought for around £1. What a beautiful game.
I honestly experienced no issues with the game whatsoever. I did play the game digitally so I don't know if that makes a difference but I honestly had no issues at all.
@GAMER1984dude That was a long time ago and Nintendo would never stop one of the best sell9ng franchises from coming to Switch. We had GTA on DS, and now Switch has Saints Row and loads of pervy games. It depends on of Rockstar want to develop and release it.
@Tao No game in which you constantly die by anything other than your own gaming skill faults is good game design. For years prior companies made games without this. The open world was amazing, but getting killed 100s of times over in a game mission through faults in the games design is bad game design. How many times in; for example, a Nintendo game, have you ever got killed through no fault other than that of your own. GTA 3 had some great world design but gameplay outside of the car was abysmal and some missions were nigh on impossible to complete because of it.
I thought this game was amazing for around the first 6hrs but when you had to get out the car and shoot you would get killed through no fault of your own and that is not fun and awful game design. If someone ever completed this game 100% they must have had the patience of a saint.
@Prof_Yoshtonics The mobile market is largest on the planet. 6 billion people with a mobile or 40 million with a Switch. If I ran a gaming business for sure I would release mobile games. £5 a month is not that bad if those that pay it are free from micro transactions.
I rarely ever mobile game as I like my games more complex and free from Micro-transactions. It is the same reason I do not game on X-Box.
@Gasarakii Xenoblade 2 had a similar blurriness in handheld mode but didn't stop me enjoying it, but other graphically intensive games like Astral Chain, Smash Bros, Skyrim, etc looked absolutely amazing in handheld. I am probably just being picky. I never played on PS4, just seen my friend playing it and wow it is gorgeous. I prefer JRPGs on portable consoles though.
