Great gameplay, not so great story.
So like almost every Fire Emblem except the last 2 which had not so great gameplay and incredibly bloated story.

This is an easy buy for Fire Emblem fans.

The more the reviewers said that the social aspect was weak and the strategy was strong, the more excited I got for this game.

This is gonna be a great one!

As someone who liked Pokémon Scarlet, is Temtem worth it?

@Lizuka If you go online you can raid Mons from the other version. It's gonna be a good opportunity to catch each version exclusive.

@Jacket_p You couldn't be further away from truth. Ludwig's career was built from Smash and he always gives back to the community. No matter how much he advertises this or gets a last minute sponsor it will be a guaranteed financial loss.

Also the whole getting more subscribers is wrong too, since Ludwig is actually more popular than the Super Smash Bros competitive scene so it won't be a huge boost for him.

I know it's hard to believe, but in this case it's just someone who enjoys something and has enough money to give it back to the people that play the game.

@TheCrabMan They are rules created by humans aren't they? You don't find football pitches in nature waiting to be played by people.
Sports being games created by people as a way to exercise and compete is a known and irrefutable fact.

Also you deflected my question about your affirmation that e-sports are detrimental both physically and mentally because you know there's no concrete evidence of that. Pretty pathetic.
There's this article as just one example that both can be pretty demanding on a similar level:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.sky.com/story/amp/esport-athletes-face-same-level-of-mental-stress-as-athletes-in-other-sports-study-finds-12578192

You don't know what you're talking about.

Go back to the sea where you belong, "Crabman".

@TheCrabMan "eSports are detrimental to both" can you back that claim with scientific proof? Because there is a good amount of research shows that it helps with mental acuity, though it can be physically damaging, just like sports which always damage the person's body due to requiring extreme performance at the top level.

"People leeching" of your game, are the fans who build something from it. Artists build their work and other people improve on it or change to function as something, it's the nature of art. But on that point I know for sure we won't agree.

I was pointing out the flaw in your logic by showing that anything can be pointless if you don't care about. Sorry if it wasn't obvious for you. I'll make it easier so even you can follow.
Any type of sport is pointless if you analyse it, because they are made of artificial rules that are created by humans. Yet we can give meaning to them since they can be a show of skill and intellect.

Also on topic replying to you, these are people that are passionate about a game and just want the right to make the most out of it. Very bold of you to take the side of the huge multibillionaire corporation that is not affected by it in the least. Whereas thousand of players and spectators lose the right to enjoy something.
Empathy goes a long way for understanding people's reasoning, you should try having a little bit of it from time to time.

@TheCrabMan A real sport like running after a ball is much more real. That's a real goal that is much more valid than an e-sport. Whatever you think is has value or not, keep to yourself and don't impose it on others. Different people have different interpretations of what's valid or not.

It looks really good, but also very boring.

It is really good but game freak still made some of its usual missteps. It's insanely easy and now they even took the ability to play the game in set mode, which was the only option in the game to make it harder. It really feels like they despise the core fans and want to cater mostly to new fans and children.

I don't know about the design, but Skeledirge has by far the best cry in the series and Maushold the best name.

If the performance issues didn't exist this game would be an easy 9. It's the best Pokémon game since Black and White. But they do exist and I think a 6 or 7 is more than fair.

I don't know where you live in the UK (I'm assuming London, Birmingham or another big city) but where I live that would never happen and it didn't happen when I went there yesterday.

Maybe in Japan? Every poll I've seen here in the west has Fuecoco as the most popular mon.

He's always been a shady figure known to steal ideas and even technology from others and claim as his own, but if this is true he's reached a new low.

Blue and Red at 28%. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Scarlet because I like red over purple and past aesthetics over future aesthetics.

If anyone is interested GAME is doing a midnight release in some of its stores here in the UK. So you can technically pre-order your physical and play it at midnight.
Also a lot of people show up to these events so it's a cool way to interact with people that like the franchise.

This song really shows Ed Sheeran's talent.

You may interpret that whichever way you want.

Obligatory beating the dead horse with a Nintendoomed joke

It's more like Overwatch 1.5 and even though it doesn't change much they're still able to screw it up.
Actiblizzard really wants to be the new EA.

It's gonna be a miracle if it reaches 60 million. After all it's SEGA.

Another pointless gimmick! Yay!

After releasing the same game 3 times?

I'm ok with no more No More Heroes.

I know it took a lot of effort and this person is probably very talented.

But it doesn't look good at all.

@Agent_P Well, on her video she had...nevermind

This game had a better comeback than Kim Kardashian!

The guy who was the protagonist in the worst Jurassic movie ever said that this is going to be great? Well, I'm in!

The man is a genius and deserves all the accolades he received.

@SolarisPolaris It is true that being more mature doesn't mean it can't be bad.

I think I wasn't very clear with what bothered me. I'll try to clarify with an example.

While in the original Fire Emblem Marth is trying to restore his kingdom due to betrayal, in Fire Emblem you have to talk to a character that is afraid of leaving her room. There's a huge difference in tone and I gravitate much more to the former.

A lot of the characters in the new Fire Emblem games act like unidimensional stereotypical characters of animes. Meanwhile in the old games, even though some characters were shallow the focus was always on the plot.

There are other minor examples that build on the idea that the game is focused on teenage drama, like the setting being on a school, the characters being mostly teenagers, part of the game being daily activities that can actually affect the story of the game.

To me the new Fire Emblem games focus a lot on the fluff while barely improving on the main part of the game which is strategy.

Still, I understand if you disagree with me.

@SolarisPolaris No I definitely didn't want it to be a dating sim. They added something incredibly superficial which takes over almost half of the game.

Also the school settings and the characters are all straight from a teenage drama. I much prefer when the story was about characters like Marth who acted like adults and where concerned with the future of the kingdom.

So I disagree with the "shippers" are the problem with the game. I think the weak attempts into the transforming the game into how cute or quirky the characters are brought down to overall story a lot.

@SolarisPolaris No problem. From now on I'll call it a shallow dating sim with superficial relationships and characters. More accurate.

Oh my god! It's obviously tears not tears!

C'mon people!

'member when Fire emblem wasn't an anime dating sim? I 'member.

Square Enix should just change its name to Konami.

It was very frantic. Almost like the trailer cutting speed was trying to compensate for the slow speed of the game.

I really liked the voice acting. Top notch.

He's not. If he mentioned anything else that looked unfinished it could be applied to Pokémon because its recent games are unpolished in almost every aspect.

Why did you guys tell me that there are spoilers all over the internet? You just spoiled that for me!

I already have the fridge edition, so I'm good.

@the_beaver Unfortunately this is not the case of polish in my opinion. The game is way too superficial and repetitive to be interesting.
No amount of bug fixing and performance improvement is going to transform this into a good game.

The question is: Why?

Even though my favorite region is Johto I think the best Dex was Sinnoh's. A lot of variety in types and designs and also introduces a lot of evolutions to some classic Pokémon from
Gen I

@Tangerine To be fair to Nintendo Life, not only the comment section is still open, I can see by the amount of upvotes most people seem to agree with you.

For the moment these are just allegations. But if turns out to be true, those involved need to be duly punished.

The game was delayed because it portrayed a Russian-like country as the villains.

Well...

Scyther/Scizor. Love how aggressive and menacing Scyther's design is and Scizor feels exactly like what a metal version of Scyther would be.

Can't wait until they drop it for the next game. Game Freak doesn't distinguish between gimmick and mechanic.

At this point I really just wished Nintendo gave the franchise to a more creative team.

This game is going to suffer greatly due to poor advertising. Most people thought it was going to be a strategy game with visual novel elements, not the other way around.
