@ryancraddock I know But if someone gave both console and PC and you want to buy a game and it is free on the pc, you will just probably take it on the PC
@johnvboy The people who “attack” the game are not the problem There is a real problem with the whole industry with companies who are declaring that every criticism as attack and fill free to lie to and attack their fans and taking the quality of games down
@Yorumi very well said
The fact that the media just attacked fans for Having very legit concerns and criticism about the game and about the way GF statements were far from the truth
Rn it is very easy for companies to say “they attacking us” as a way to avoid any criticism
At this point this is a publicity stunt and nothing more This way anyone with a switch And in the gaming world in general hear about them an can consider picking up a their product
@Crockin I hope you are kidding.... She is a men hater (or at least white men hater) and overall not a likable person If someone don’t like it, it doesn’t make him women hater
The sell you an features that should have been in the vanilla, for Almost the price of a 3ds era game, after selling a game for 1.5 price with 0.5 the content and lying to you all the way
@Darknyht it is beyond me the reason this game is so successful, I guess “benefit of the the doubt” “switch craze” and the “false marketing“ all played a role in this
This game will lead us to lazier game in the future.... it is sad what Pokémon become in recent years....
@Darknyht bro, idk if you played, but this game “open world” aspect is a dead world where Pokémon appears from thin air when you go close enough, you don’t see them in the distance Same in cities, You might see hundreds of meters before you inside a city, but the NPC won’t appear until you are close enough The whole world is freezing when you climb a leader.... And this is just the tip of the iceberg....
This thing sold like mad, as it seems it might be the best selling Pokémon game since gen 2, 100% the most profitable game in the series (maybe but gen 1, idk)
And yet, this is not a great game, nothing good compared to previous games, gen 6 and 7 weren’t great in terms of the series, but this was straight up insulting
@SmaggTheSmug abusive online? I am allowed to criticize a product that didn’t deliver what was promised and expected
If you had a hard time to buy a console as a kid, you should understand the how important it is to get quality in return for your money
And if gamefreak want us to pay for an AAA game, they should give more content and better everything than the 40$ games, not a lazy game that was delivered to us fulled of promises that weren’t delivered at all
If they want to go pay extra for a dlc, they should give even more content
And god dammit, why do they sell us a 15$ a year 10MB cloud service????? This is unbelievable practice....
@Rodan2000 over privileged? So now Refusing to pay 90$ (Before Pokémon home costs....) for buggy and incomplete game with less content than a 2007 game that cost 40$ with graphics that aren’t as good as a 1998 games with a world that only become alive once you are close enough.... even in cities.... is being over privileged? Ok lol
I played every Pokémon game, including this one (took my friend copy) and this is not one of the best.... especially in switch 2020 ow standard
@LUIGITORNADO again, I didn’t mean that they are actually scared, I meant that this is an ever growing threat that Is starting to fight them in their own games
And along side the Mario world characters
You have the Pokémon characters
The Zelda characters
Kirby
Metroid
Fire emblem
Star fox
And more....
This is enough widely recognized franchise to make a Nintendo multiverse of movies that can collaborate all to for a smash bros movie at some point (just throwing ideas now but still)
Some of them might not be as big as some Disney franchises, but they are big enough and with parks and movies will become much more recognized really fast....
@UmbreonsPapa I remember reading this is the case a while back but looking in the internet I can only find something from 2004, and Miamoto saying that he try to push Mario recognition up and make him the new Mickey a few months ago, so idk.... I might be wrong
But it is up there, and Nintendo lately started investing a lot in growing, both with games and making movies parks, stores and more....
@LUIGITORNADO I have been to a lot of Disney parks, and I don’t mean scared as in actual panic mode
But Nintendo is the one of the very few brands that can actually rival Disney in term of recognition, and Disney parks are on the decline as even the new Star Wars park did way under the expectation of Disney and the other parks that slowly losing momentum
Having someone like Nintendo to compete with them all of a sudden in both the Parks and the Movie department is a threat that is starting to build itself and might hurt them in the future
Make sense Disney is scared of Nintendo at the moment: Even in the US, kids recognize Mario before they recognize Micky Mouse Nintendo theme park might hurt the Disney parks.... a lot.... Nintendo started making live action movies out of there IPs (Pokémon detective pikachu, Mario 2021 and more in the future) to appeal to both kids and adults Opening stores all over in order to strengthen their brand
Disney probably have no intention making to help Nintendo become bigger faster, and allowing Sora in Smash will give Nintendo attention from more people....
@Cathousemaster yes but they sold like 3 million of MK8 the past quarter, release a new one will kill the current one sales, which is very stupid move to something that sell so many units
They should keep a small team to keep improving the game while the team that build it should move to new project
@WiltonRoots although Cuphead sold amazingly on Xbox (above a million), when it was announced the first thing I thought was that it will break the sales of the Xbox
If it is going to a paid dlc with features that should have been there in the first place, I am gonna puke 🤮
They should announce new mystery dungeon and new battle revolution, and that Nintendo bought Creatures (as was rumored lately) and now force game freak to make higher quality games Pokémon games
