@Selim From what I heard, the video compilations of glitches were taken from pirated copies played on emulators that couldn't properly run the games, making Pokémon S&V look like an unplayable mess.
I just had one single major glitch near the beginning of the game, an infinite loading screen when starting the Bug Gym Trial, that cost me just around one minute of progress. Apart from that, besides the occasional framerate drops, I had no major issues myself.
There was already a patch that apparently fixed some things, and another is coming in February, I heard.
Glad that people didn't listen to all the Debbie Downers that mashed together videos of glitches that happened to different players, some of who, I heard, were playing pirated copies on emulators that couldn't properiy run the software, in order to make Pokémon S&V look like an unplayable mess.
(Then again, it's Pokémon. Even if it really had been that bad, it'd still have sold a lot.)

Awesome game, here's looking forward to how further they evolve the series.
This gives me the happies. Although I liked Three Houses' social mechanics, it's true that eventually they bog down the game... and ALL Support Levels starting from scratch in a New Game Plus, with only Byleth's being buyable, didn't help.
Some may not like how the social sim mechanics have been cut down, but for others, it's a welcomed change. Perhaps one day they can find a nice balance. In the meantime, can't wait for Thursday midnight.
Dang, can't believe Capcom hasn't brought Dead Rising to Switch yet. At least 1 and the Fortune City series (Case Zero, 2, Case West, Off The Record) would be great.
Wondered how many other people besides me had trouble playing as Viola. She's cool, but it was difficult to activate her Witch Time. Glad I had suspended the game, when I resume it, playing as Viola should be more enjoyable.
@Giancarlothomaz Oh, dang. Yes, that was crazy. Took me many tries to get it done. Also the one where you have to bounce on enemies and not touch the floor. Haven't finished the game, got distracted with others at around Chapter 7 or 8, seems it was for the best. Will resume the game these days, despite a few issues I've enjoyed what I've played of it so far.
Awesome. Well deserved, it's one of the best Pokémon ever made. People exaggerated regarding the glitches, I came across just a major one in over 70 hours of gameplay. Now the framerate, that was accurate. Sometimes it's smooth, other times it slows down, as if lagging. Nevertheless, an awesome game.
If Silent Hill is being resurrected, hopefully so will be one day other Konami IPs, such as Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania, Goemon and even an actually good Contra game.
Hm, have just finished the main story last night. Wish they had waited a little longer before they began rolling these extreme raids. Wonder if I can join a random raid to do this one...
@theModestMouse Some of us don't support digital piracy and would rather not risk downloading malware. Some of us actually are willing to pay $7 - $10 for one month to watch a cartoon, we're not that pathetic and miserable.
Hm, may buy a month of Netflix just for this. Awesome to at last see Rouge again in a Sonic show. Would be awesome if they also brought other Sonic characters, such as Cream, the Chaotix and the like.
Reminds me of that other case where a man tried suing Bethesda because he became so addicted to Fallout 4. He lost his job, his wife left him because he couldn't stop playing.
Great game, though it took me around 4.5 years to finish the main story since I couldn't understand the battle system. If they ever remake/remaster it, they really should include reviewable tutorials and a practice mode. I didn't get the Elemental Combo/Burst mechanics until literally the last battle of the second to last chapter after looking it up online. Still, amazing journey.
Nice to see some appreciation for Pokémon IX. Yes, there's stuff that could use fixing or improving, but there's also some good quality of life improvements.
I already played Resident Evil 2 & 3 Remake on PS4. The former one day I want to play again. The latter they'd have to pay me to play it again. Yes, it's that half-baked.
Full disclosure, it's not a bad game, but it does feel they rushed it and left out many of the good ideas they probably had.
Huh, seems Cloud gaming is getting there, improving little by little. Perhaps in the future it'll be more viable and available for more audiences, finally find its place next to physical games and digital downloads.
Team Water in honor of my Pokémon Shield Inteleon... and also to make sure Shiver loses, she's turning arrogant (Well, more than usual) after her two previous victories.

Re: Disney Speedstorm Characters - Every Racer Revealed So Far
@Pikki I've been hoping for Cruella De Vil since they first announced this. It's canon that she has quite the driving skills.
Cruella De Vil, Cruella De Vil, if she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will.
Cruella De Vil, Cruella De Vil, the fear on your face, it gives her a thrill.

@Sahnec They're definitely saving them for updates / DLC.

Hm, does look like a little kid. However, it must be due to the chibi art style, since she and Mario seem almost the same height.
Anyway, interesting trivia. In an alternate Earth, that's Princess Peach's official design to this day. Wowsers.
