@Koda1000 They have nothing to do with this and Nintendo gets hate because they are known to be anti- consumer. They also are now accused of allowing sexual harassment and discrimination in their North American offices. You can enjoy the games while hating the company that publishes them.
@steventonysmith Crisis Core was one of the best-selling titles on the PSP and considered by many to be one of the best as well. It got reviews at the time and many fans of the series have wanted a remake or remaster.
@CaptainCluck I mean Wikipedia still calls it that and "soccer" comes from the term and is used by more than just the United States to describe the sport. Soccer, gridiron, and rugby are all technically "football" and come from the same original sport.
@darkswabber @daniel36 IDK what the term was, but even the US and UK have words that are offensive in one, but not the other when discussing conditions like Autism. A famous example led to Mario Party being recalled in the UK.
The trainers give me weird shovepware vibes despite this looking like a potential graphical upgrade to previous titles. The eyes are just not Pokémon looking.
The world looks more lively than SwSh and PLA so I'm excited but, the early footage was pretty blurry and pixelated like a 3DS game so Game Freak still has room for some improvement.
@Ventilator My point is most of the revenue from sales on other platforms will still go to Microsoft which will become a problem if they keep buying every publisher for sale.
@Ventilator Not all games will be. They are already planning on making Elder Scrolls an Xbox Exclusive again when the sixth game finally releases. Even if they release multiplatform games, the is all going to one company.
This needs to be blocked. Microsoft is buying way too many publishers rather than making their own IPs. They at least should sell of Bethesda. They can't have both.
I want FES and Portable to be combined. The new female route is nice, but having the environments is a must in my eyes. Also, fix it so we can social link with party members of the same sex.
@nessisonett I'm not going to lie, I almost quit this site a few times over the past couple years because of quickly things got toxic, but it looks like things are getting better.
@HedgehogEngine You didn't mention gameplay though. The Wild Area was boring. Some towns were just corridors. There were livelier towns on the Gameboy. Not to mention that outside of one or two gym leader, the whole game could probably be played by just spamming one attack over and over regardless of typing outside of immunities. They really could've added difficulty modes that altered the AI behavior and gave the NPCs held items or something. Galar was charming, but then they made strange decisions with what were otherwise beautiful cities and towns. It was quite jarring.
@Tao The most memorable thing about the battle with Leon is him saying "Let's have a champion time." Lol The only Champion battle that was worse to me was Diantha.
I have seen some people lash out horribly at reviewed of Sword and Shield which was wrong. I do think though that Game Freak has done a pretty bad job of striking a balance when you consider that kids were already playing the older Pokémon games without any problem and the new ones are becoming almost as brainless as mobile games. I'm not asking for Dark Souls, I just want the option to feel more engaged in battles. Even when I go back and replay the older games, they are still more difficult than playing a new game blind. That's despite the fact that I have them fully memorized. That's not good. The Pokémon Company has even acknowledged that many of the current fans are adults who grew up with the series and they know the games are for all ages. They have done a lot to cater to younger players, but it's time to at least add some basic options and settings to the game to make things more interesting at the bare minimum.
I saw one for the first time in months just yesterday in my local Walmart in the US. It wasn't there before so I don't know if it was found after being lost in the stockroom or there are more coming.
@CharlieGirl Its ironic too since Hollywood loves to save money almost as much as they love making it. They could save a lot of money and produce a higher quality product by using proper voice actors and film actors in the roles in their respective fields instead of just paying the highest bid for the most expensive celebrities on the market.
I think "open world" can be overrated as many times it leaves a game feeling too bloated and empty. I hope there is more depth than the Wild Area had though. I found it to be boring after the first few minutes.
@Gundam_Warrior The one lashing out is you. The traffic line was uncalled for and makes you look like the one who is being irrational. It's fine if you don't like the dlc, but don't call other people children or tell them to harm themselves.

Shouldn't it be EA Association Football instead? That is the sport's proper full English name.

I would buy the whole trilogy for $60 if Nintendo did this. I would even pay $70. This is amazing.
