@Morsel does it include all dlcs?

I'm thinking about sparks of hope gold edition. Already own the base sparks of hope on card but the dlcs alone are more expensive to get.
The DLCs worth it? I read good things on google

I didn't hear good things about this game.

I will wait until a 50% price drop.

Nintendo really dropped the ball on this one. Hope they learn from their mistakes and improve on the sequel. If I had paid full price the disappointment would be real...

NGL I pretty much uninstalled immediately. This game is an insult to the fire emblem franchise and to gamers.

Way too many key cards

Lol last cod I played was on ps3.

Never played an assassins creed game.

I would try to get a refund if the issue persists

@breach187 gotta admit tho, I never knew you could circumvent amiibo locks, haha. Will need to look into this

@breach187 nah its fine. I just play as is. Besides I have heard you unlock the music after beating the game. Cant confirm yet, tho. Still tho, the hyrule desert is the weakest part of the game - even with music it would still be the weakest part. But putting music behind an amiibo is so bad its actually funny

Gave it a six. A good 6.5 if you will. Key cards are lame. And nintendo games haven't been too amazing to put it mildly.
The console itself is better than the s1 but thats to be expected after 8 years.
The pricing is bad but I can live with spending a bit more as I am buying less games than I used to. What bothers me is locking features besides amiibo, which I don't collect.
Honestly not too excited about the future of the console. The outlook for 2026 seems lackluster atm.

Think I am gonna support this. Physical copies are few and far between these days and the game doesnt look half bad

The cover sure looks nicer

Preordered a while ago. Paid below 50eur for the s2 copy thanks to a black weeks campaign. If I had paid 70eur I would have cancelled my preorder and waited for a sale. Pretty sure this one will go down in price.

Tried the octo 1 demo back in the day. Didn't grab my attention. But I like the 2d art style

@DarkTron maybe we will get a definitive edition in physical form at some.point.

@PJOReilly hehe, digital only though it seems. Meh...

Oof... Digital only it seems...

Wait! This game has been released already?

Based on the reviews I have read and seen I think this might be a solid 7.5.

Imo a 7.5 isn't necessarily a bad score. Seems like an ok/solid game that could have been much better. Maybe next time. If there is a next time.

Still looking forward to playing it for what it is.
Hopefully they will take the critisicm to heart and make prime 5 better.

I never played a Yakuza game but was thinking to give it a try now that its on switch. But with three games already out and the fourth one announced and probably more to come its getting a bit overwhelming. Too bad they didn't release a demo.

This didn''t make me cancel my preorder. Can't wait to play it next weekend.

Expanding via acquisition seems like the right move to me. Games will take longer to develope and the more the merrier

Just release a physical version. Dont wanna overpay on this one from playasia

@Chimichanga they did? Maybe tencent didnt like the idea of wasting any more resources.

Bought both castlevania collections physically recently. Given how much storage these games occupy I should have gone digital and saved a lot of money. Oooof....

Splatoon inspired for sure

Now thats very generous/s

Lmao

@Ashunera84

Many people will disagree. Backwards compatibility is not an issue here, they just used the same stuff not the same game.

All metacritic complaints aside: how are we supposed to review a game? Swsh has less content than previous games (pokemon count as content) - is this a reason for a higher or lower score?
Racing games usually don't come with less tracks than their predecessors. Would they score higher if they did?
Could shsw have better graphics? Probably but pokemon isn't about graphics people say, so we can't really take that point into account for our score?

Tell me, what goes into a pokemon review score? The amount of fun a reviewer had while reviewing?

I think there should be certain guidelines which are valid for all games or at least shared between similar games. And previous games should also be taken into account.
If not we end up in a double morale situation where some games are treated harshly while others are praised for nothing.

@Barbara001

You got me there. Maybe I am not well-behaved after all

@Barbara001
So at least we have one thing in common .
The whole point is not about entitlement. Getting away means imo: offering less for the same price and succeeding without backlash.
Backlash is needed to tell the producers something was not ok in the hopes future products will be better.

@Barbara001
Lmao. I am not that much into pokemon, so it's not that much of a deal to me what happens with the franchise in general.
So you believe people who complain and critisize feel just entitled. Fair enough! Maybe it would be better if only people were allowed to review a game who truly love it, with an 8 being the lowest score possible.
Btw I am not into whipping

@Barbara001

That's wishful thinking. Look I understand you are mad because you feel a game that you love (or want to love) gets critisized and you feel this is unfair. Nintendo usually has it much easier to get way with stuff because their fanbase is the most loyal of them all but this time they have really screwed up. Welcome to the real world!

@Bomberman64

I think we all know, even if some won't admit it, this game is just a cash-in. I consider it disrespectful towards fans.
Think botw, a zelda masterpiece (not without haters) but most people will agree lots of effort and polish went into that game.
People expected a massive game on switch.
Let me ask you, how would you compare sun and moon with swsh? Taking into account hardware possibilities?

@Kit

Thats a way to look at things.

@Barbara001
Its not that simple. Their recent attempt at a game wasnt so great, wasn't it? Besides there are shareholders

@eaglebob345
That would actually be amazing. Other companies would have a chance to fill the void and raise the bar so high that pokemon would never return. Great idea!

@Bomberman64
I didn't buy. Maybe if its on sales.

As you pointed out gamefreak was never about innovation. Thats fine. But if the major appeal of the game are the pokemon then why cut the dex? And why lie its the animations that are responsible when they are not?
Imo its simple, if you praise someone for basically nothing they will never get better. Such is life!

@Barbara001
Not if they wanna stay in business, lmao

@frabbit

We all know this game isnt fantastic by todays standards. People giving it a high score do it just because it is a mainline pokemon game or money was involved. Definitely not an unbiased score by any means

@Bomberman64
Its about the effort imo. A lot more was possible. Gamefreak chose to be lazy and cash-in on fans of the franchise. Not cool imo.

@Kit
Thats (nintendo) fanboyism. Be happy about what u get. Lmao

A bomb well deserved

@ILikeStake

I actually got to like him with time. But yes, the game could have done without his comic relief. I am coming darling, lmao.
The mardi garb thing was just silly.

Jade and Veronica here

@construx

Honestly the review has put me off. Naked old man farting?

They are not wrong.
