This is only speaking the truth. I love the Switch, but the UI is poor and looks hideous on the TV due to 720p resolution when the console supports 1080. Everything is jagged and dark gray/black or white.
@superpotion He is basically the like the Prototype to Sean Murray of Hello Games in that makes ridiculous promises for features that he can't possibly achieve.
The problem here is that unlike Hollow Knight that was clearly different from Castlevania, this has similar environments and enemies. Not to mention the attack animations and sound effects seem to be virtually identical. I have no authority to seem something a rip-off, but I can understand why people compare the too. It's almost too uncanny.
I wish Sony would get the license to NBA again. They have down great with MLB while EA and 2K are trying to hard to push microtransactions in their games.
Honestly the fact that fictional characters in a fantasy world with tan skin are automatically associated with being black is a little suspect in itself. It might at least be understandable if it were in a real world setting, but this is silly.
@FTL Try defending his motives to his employees he keeps from unionizing in a state where unions are allowed or to the diver who saved the soccer team in Thailand that he accused of being a pedophile.
@PaperLucario It's pretty crazy too since there were apparently accusations for some time yet Funimation only felt compelled to do something once other actors were allegedly affected. Kinda like how Todd Haberkorn still has a job when he's been accused of worse. Not that Vic Mignogna and his lawyer weren't still acting wildly inappropriate too. That lawsuit would've ended in Funimation's favor faster if people involved didn't keep going on Twitter to air their dirty laundry mid-suit though.
@Dr_Lugae If you notice though. All those numbers are close, but there is a much bigger gap in lifetime sales. The newer games drop off much faster while having more explosive launches.
@SBandy I mean the series did these things in the 90s and early 2000s at its peak. They still make money, but the sales of the first generation and second generation are a standard that can't be beat. Even generation 4 only got to third despite the DS outselling everything, but the PS2. Sales after that haven't really gone up, but rather down for the most part.
@MaxlRoseGNR The licensing deal Sony wanted wasn't much different from what the Big N did to 3rd Parties at the time. Sony was just the 1st company to successfully clapback at Yamauchi when he tried to shake them down.
@MailOrderNinja I don't know about everything being standard Pokemon. I heard from people who have been playing the story that they felt that it was the most lacking aspect of the game. Some of the past few generations had more involved plot lines so this would be a break from the trend while the competitive side could be seen as a great improvement from past entries. I am waiting to get a copy myself so I can form my opinion, but whether people like the game or not, simply call it standard or average for pokemon in each individual aspect.
@SalvorHardin Well ExFAT is really known for being easier to corrupt than some other formats. It doesn't do any journaling so any interruptions could result in potential data loss.
There are mostly positive or neutral comments and the defense brigade is still complaining about "babies" and snowflakes." This is beyond self-parody. The review are out and now we just have to wait for release. Then you can continue the raging if you want regardless of stance.
@arekdougy So you take a shot at my capability to interpret language yet don't know the difference between digging a shallow grave and putting someone in said grave?
@AstralSoul13 I see Joe Merrick tweeting about threats he recieved, but the only image I ever found was one person saying they deserve a shallow grave which is definitely wrong, but not quite a threat more than a distasteful jab.
@AstralSoul13 Who sent death threats though? I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I have ironically seen more angry defenders of these games than the people upset.
@johnvboy That's the problem though. They market it to one one audience, but studies suggest they're ignoring large chunk of their base. The Pokémon fan base is aging faster than it is bringing in new fans. In some ways Game Freak either denies or downplays this, but it still has an impact as seen with how many complaints every new game gets for being the easiest one yet. Pokémon was already easy and accessible for children to so making it easier is only more baffling with each release especially since they still use archaic practices like one save file and no difficulty select.

Re: Review: Pokémon Sword And Shield - A Solid Start To Gen 8 On Switch, Despite The Hate
@quinnyboy58 I think it's due to the length of the game's and most reviews coming off as lukewarm despite high scores.
