7/10 for a 50 bucks game with that bad performance? You should rethink your ratings honestly. If I had no idea about gaming and I would rely on your review, I might throw money out of the window.
@EVIL-C Dude, KISS-principle. Keep it simple stupid. If you're allowing for errors to happen, it's your fault. It's obviously not hard to buy the right one, but that's not the point here.
@HXLXIII Dude, stop defending Gamefreak. Parents don't care for that *****. If a 9-year old chooses to pick up the wrong game and let the parents only see the buy-button, it's pretty easy to make a mistake. Just make one DLC. Greedy company.
Gamefreak is the main one to blame here. They're absolutely greedy and lazy.
And even though it's not that hard to buy the right dlc, I can totally see that people misclick and accidentally buy the wrong one for themselves or for their kids. Especially parents who don't have any idea.
Can't wait tbh. A good executed Pokemon-like with a challenging difficulty could definitely fill in a gap at the moment. People love the gameplay of Pokemon, but Gamefreak doesn't give a crap about its core fan base and dumbed the gameplay down as much as possible. I don't really care about the design.
This game seriously needs some bug fixing patches. I play it atm on PS4 and sometimes the character won't react to my inputs or will react to it with delay. Or the game crushes while starting the game. This is really frustrating.
Nintendo Switch isn't a groundbreaking concept either. It's just a combination of 2 things Nintendo always did well. Also Sony and Microsoft have the superior online services by far. I like both sides and I see the problems on both sides as well.
I was looking for similiar gaming experience as in Steam World Dig 2 and this game came to my mind. Unfortunately it wasn't my cup of tea. The progress is way too slow. Even in a small world.
I love how some people talk about: " Don't wanna spend my money for a PS4/Xbox One", when in reality, they spend more money for graphically worse versions on a switch. You don't save as much as you think. Witcher on ps4 is currently für 10€/(idk about $) and 40€ on the Switch. Do that move 5 times and you almost have a PS4.
And I honestly can't understand how people have fun with playing shooter or 3rd person combat (like DS or Witcher) games in handheld mode. My fingers are hurting after 10 minutes.
I bought the Switch for Nintendo and Indie-Games. There may be games like Diablo or Darksiders (Genesis) who suit the Switch plattform, but most AAA games are overpriced or look terrible.
I don't care what anyone says. This game feels like Sun and Moon with a cut Pokedex and an even less challenging story mode. I mean... why do I have to use the lame exp. share? Why am I not able to turn it off? This is so lazy. The animations are obviously 100% from S/M. The game looks good enough for me, but there's gotta be more potential. Luckily I enjoy the online matches too much, so I still will have fun, but I get every casual gamer who complains.
Good changes, but one thing's still missing (or maybe it's possible and I'm dumb). I would love to have a button where you can see the opponents combat radius where you don't have to hold it. I know first world problems, but it's more convenient I think and Advance Wars or Fire Emblem always have it as well.
Why does almost every Switch game on this site gets an 8/10? 8/10 is a very very good score and I doubt that the majority of Switch games are that good.
@Frenean Yeah, right. It's not like there are online gameplays or Let's Plays on youtube which show the boredom and the simplicity of this game, oh wait...

I hope it's good. Sw and Sh is so boring.

Re: Here's Your First Look At Crysis Remastered Running On Nintendo Switch
But why...? Who wants a 15 year old game that relies on performance on a handheld that's not made for performance? And for that price?
Re: Rumour: Pokémon Fans Speculate That Next Week's 'Big' Announcement Is Let's Go Johto
Man, I get that Let's Go Series is special for some people who want no challenge in games, but I'd rather have D/P/P remakes...
Re: People Keep Buying The Wrong Pokémon Sword And Shield DLC
@Crimson_Ridley
They probably read Pokemon DLC and think: "Yes, my child owns a Pokemon game, that makes sense!"

Re: Guide: The Escapist Indie Showcase 2020 - Every Nintendo Switch Game Featured
Windbound and maybe Garden Story, if it comes out on Switch?
Re: Poll: Should Nintendo Release A Digital-Only Switch?
I can't see why not. I own around 40 digital games and 2 cartridges (Zelda as my first game and Yugioh since it had a release discount.)

Re: Minecraft Dungeons Is Out Today On Switch, Here's The Launch Trailer
Zelda inspired? That's Diablo bro.
And I'm gonna pass on this one. I watched 1 hour of gameplay and it's way too easy and one dimensional.
Re: Bloodstained's Latest Update Is Finally Available On Switch - Adds A New Mode And Character

Re: Switch Online Subscribers Will Soon Get To Play Celeste For Free In Japan
Nintendo and their online services. What a ***** show.
Re: There's A New Exploit In Pokémon Sword And Shield That's Ruining Competitive Play
The fact that rental teams are allowed, already kinda ruined competitive play for me. This is just the icing on the cake.
Re: Terraria Has Sold 30 Million Copies Worldwide
I was looking for similiar gaming experience as in Steam World Dig 2 and this game came to my mind. Unfortunately it wasn't my cup of tea. The progress is way too slow. Even in a small world.
Re: A New SteamWorld Game Is Now In Development From Image & Form
Not gonna lie, Steam World Dig 2 was absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately it was way too short.
Love this news!
Re: Review: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX - Fun, But Only In Short Doses
@MegaVel91
Wow. That would be absolute lazy game developing. And no, I wouldn't buy the game because it would lead to more future titles.
Re: Video: We've Played Pokémon Rival Temtem, And We Can't Wait For It To Hit Switch
Definitely try that out, if I got the time. Gamefreak does need some competition. They're really lacking effort.

Re: Hey Nintendo, God Of War Director Cory Barlog Would Like A New Golden Sun, Please
Definitely. Zelda dungeons and turn-based strategy. I miss those.
Re: Gleamlight Publisher Responds To Accusations Of Game Being A Hollow Knight "Ripoff"
Well I thought they were the same developers. The resemblance is uncanny. Hollow Knight was great though, so I'm excited.
Re: The Game Awards GOTY Is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
I don't have the skill for Sekiro, so I decided to sell it. My pick would be the Resi 2 Remake
Re: Monster Boy Celebrates Its First Anniversary With A Half-Price Digital Sale
Best Metroidvania on the Switch imo!
Okay 2nd best after Hollow Knight.
Re: Get Resident Evil, Mega Man And More In Capcom's Black Friday eShop Sale (North America)
What's up with this North America only bullcrap? Nintendo is so f'n lazy.

Re: Random: Now Pokémon Sword And Shield Haters Are Asking Trump To Halt Sales Of The Game
Am I the only one who will play the game tonight and probably enjoy it? The concept is just too good.
Re: New Game-Changing Features Revealed For Pokémon Sword And Shield
Nice changes. Maybe add something for Hidden Power as well? You still have to breed for IVs though or did I miss something?
Re: Guide: Pokémon Sword And Shield - All Gen 8 Pokémon Announced For The Galar Region
Nice click bait guys. Shame on you.
Re: Video: Here's What Alien: Isolation Looks Like On Nintendo Switch
Great game. Definitely recommend it for the people who haven't played it yet. The price will be a factor though. Everything over 30 would be a joke.
Re: EA Looking To Bring More Of Its Successful Games To Switch
@Tantani Nah it won't fail. Information asymmetry is too high. Parents who have no clue, will buy this legacy crap for their 9year old kids.
Re: EA Looking To Bring More Of Its Successful Games To Switch
F**k off, EA. You screwed up Fifa on Switch big time.
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Switch Lite Might Not Be For You, But It Will Be A Smash Hit With My Family
RIP 3ds? 3ds still has more good games than the switch. Especially if you count the ds titles as well.
Re: Video: Ok, We're Hyped About Pokémon Sword & Shield After That Direct
Yeah looks good besides that Dynamax-BS.
Re: Guide: Where To Pre-Order Pokémon Sword and Shield On Nintendo Switch
I definitely get the digital version. It's really annoying to work with the Pokemon Bank if you have to switch the cartridges all the time.
Re: Review: Timespinner - Another Superb Metroidvania For Your Nintendo Switch
I'm really starting to get tired of Metroidvanias. I'm looking forward to Slay the Spire.
Re: RPG Sephirothic Stories Brings Its Turn-Based Battles To Switch Next Week
I want a new Golden Sun game so bad.
This looks lame.
Re: Yacht Club Games Reveals Cyber Shadow, A Thrilling New 8-Bit Ninja Platformer
The Messenger is a great game, so I'll probably pick this one up, too. Let's hope that it's not a complete rip off though.
Re: Random: Is State Of Play PlayStation's Take On Nintendo Direct?
Who cares? What's about this rivalry bs?
Re: The Messenger Goes On Holiday This Summer, Physical Game Pre-Orders Go Live Later This Month
Waiting for a discount in the e-shop. Looks great.
Re: Wargroove Gets Huge Version 1.2.0 Patch On Switch Today

I know first world problems, but it's more convenient I think and Advance Wars or Fire Emblem always have it as well.

But please start to release some good games. 2017 was good, but this year was very spare.
Re: Reggie: Nintendo Of America Generates Around 60% Of Its Revenue During The Holiday Season
Yeah, casuals surely have fun with this console atm. I'm looking forward to Pokemon next year and a bit of information for Metroid.
Re: Rumour: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Is Taking To The Skies On Switch
