@SonOfDracula Even a 7 isn’t that great of a score. People are just being apologists for a series that continues to make the same mistakes over and over. Just because this got a 7 elsewhere doesn’t mean it’s good. Stop being an apologist for a team that doesn’t know what the heck they been doing for the 20 years. I’m starting to think that the “good games” have likely been a result of a Frankenstein mistake. They didn’t know what they were doing but somehow it worked. The reason I say this is because the “good games” are very few and don’t come very often, sometimes years! Lucky mistakes.
@piecez seriously! People upset over the fact that people like us saw this a mile away.
Sonic games are like an abusive and toxic relationship. You get abused and then you’re promised that things will change. You somehow manage to lie to yourself and believe the lies but it just keeps happening over and over again. A vicious cycle. Your friends warn you and they tell you to leave, but you fight them and tell them that this time it will be different because they promised to change and they really meant it this time. 🙄 Sonic fans in a nutshell.
@Piyo Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You get it! This is exactly why! Half of the thick headed ppl can’t seem to comprehend this. We need new hardware now!
Every time I bring up that the switch is a severely underpowered system and that we need a more powerful console that will allow for the big AAA multiplats or even Nintendo’s own 1st party titles to flourish people jump on me and tell me that it’s the developer and that they need to better optimize. No that’s not the case most of the time! This is a hardware issue and it needs to be addressed. We need new hardware with better than decent stats so we don’t run into issues like this. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- having to build games around weak hardware like the switch only stifles creativity and the overall vision of the developer. Just because you don’t want to spend the money or don’t have the money to buy new hardware doesn’t mean we should all suffer along with you and be stuck with mediocrity.
@Koffyman They do talk about daily life, their interests, and their background. That’s how you build relationships in your team. The higher the bond the more perks you get while in combat.
It’s an ok series. I wouldn’t buy a third. I’ve had my fill with the first 2 games. There’s just something that irritates me about this series and the characters but I can’t quite but my finger on it.
I love Monter Hunter Rise. I wouldn’t mind a yearly paid DLC if it added new monsters (not variants), new weapons, and stages. I think this is the future of Monster hunter. Perfect the game and gameplay and just build on it. I honestly do not mind paying for quality updates. Sun break was definitely quality. Give me more!
@Mgalens The chip shortage is definitely causing a next gen crisis. I’m sure that people that don’t like to spend on new consoles every 4-5 years are happy. I on the other hand see this as the dark ages of video game progress since tech has been affected. This would be around the time we’re we would be unboxing the Switch 2 and talking about the PS6 and new Xbox. Tech definitely took a hit with COVID. Sad times…
@weelz79 ummmm… no. Like trying to fit the triangle piece in the circle slot of a shape cube puzzle. As much I love the switch it is a severely underpowered system.
@Serpenterror It’s the future. Right now it seems ugly and scary but as technology advances we will all be connected to the internet at all times and cloud versions will not be scary. We’re almost there. Internet connections and high speeds are everywhere. It’s just a matter of execution.
I hope people aren’t upset these are cloud versions because there is no way in heck that the switch would be able to run these natively. A little common sense please. 😃
Love the anime but I called it. You can tell so much from that trailer, the animations, and the look of the game. It’s got that typical unfinished and unpolished Chunsoft-y feel. It screams basic.
It’s ok. The game was probably gonna look low-res and run like molasses on the Switch anyways. The Switch should not be your first console choice to play this on, unless you don’t have a choice.
Oof. The battle system looks terrible. I love this anime but this game is looking like a hard pass. Im probably in the minority here but I never liked anything from Spike Chunsoft. It always felt unpolished and clunky. The falling animation at 1:20 already tells me a lot about this game.
It’s too much of the same. It feels like the IP hasn’t “evolved” very much over the years. It just feels like same ol, same ol. Some gimmicks are awesome. Some are not. I’m all for Mega evolution and Dynamax. Z-moves? Garbage. TERASTAL? Re-skinned z-moves. For the first time in PokeMon history I feel the design are bland and uninspired. I’ve loved every Gen’s sneak peaks. Not this one. I will force myself to play this. So sad that it’s gotten to that point. I feel like I’ve already played this and it isn’t even out yet. Also, the red BikeMon looks terrible and that big ol’ tire in the middle of its butt looks odd. The Blue one feels more organic
What a shame that even after attempting to play thru 1 and 2 several times throughout the years, I could never get into this series. The last time I played I spent over 60 hours on part 2 and I could not finish the game. It became too boring for me to finish. I don’t know what it is about this series that just can’t capture my attention and all the praise it gets. It feels like a chore for some reason. I’m thinking it’s the battle system… or the characters… I dunno I still can’t figure it out. Glad it got a 10 tho.
@dimi it’s not only playable. It probably runs better than it does on the switch. Steam Deck is pretty awesome I have one myself and although it may look big, bulky, and uncomfortable- it isn’t. It’s pretty amazing.
@Baler At least Persona delivers a fun and quality gaming experience. Unlike those Sonic games, people actually look forward to Persona games because Atlus has a good reputation of delivering quality.
@Baler Where have you been the last 14 years? Have you not seen what they’ve done to Sonic?! Everyone’s concerns and doubts are valid. Nothing has changed. It’s like a toxic relationship- they tell you that things will get better and that they’ve changed, but nothing changes and the same thing keeps happening…
@SalvorHardin Exactly! How do ppl just forget and blindly defend them, when they’ve done nothing but lie and fail time after time. People forget too easily.
@Axecon How many fair shots do you have to give Sega tho? Have you not seen the track record? Why in the world would you show footage of an early build as a first impression? Wouldn’t you want to show your best footage and gameplay to get people excited?
@JasmineDragon Probably inclusiveness? Maybe trying to promote the most basic of human rights- aka wokeness? The last thing people need is to be reminded that they need to be decent human beings because that would be shoving an agenda down their throats and taking away freedoms. We wouldn’t want that! 🫢
The movie was unexpected hit for me! I went in expecting the worst and I ended up loving the movie! I’m not a comedy guy but movie made me laugh. Highly recommended! A must watch! Ugly Sonic was awesome! 😂😂😂
I love JRPGs and RPGs but Xenoblade is not my thing. As beautiful as it looks the battle system is the thing I just can’t get into. Beat the 1st, spent 60 hours on the second trying to like it and it just doesn’t work for me. That battle system is just terrible…
I’d upgrade now. This system needs more power. I’m tired of this constant underpowered console from my favorite game company. Get with the times! It’s not even about graphics. It’s about running games decently at 60fps and developers not being so limited.
Enjoy it while you can. When the Switch successor is released, we’ll go back to a vanilla startup screen and it will take 5 years into its lifecycle to get folders/groups all over again.
@Ainze You pretty much summed up what I was saying all this time. The hardware is stifling creativity and artistic vision since the developer had to dumb down “pretty” graphics aka “over-reaching” according to you. There’s nothing pretty about AoC. If you think thats pretty, I’m selling a cute little poop with a bow on it I’m sure you’d be interested in.
sarcasm No?! Dang developers and their lazy ways! They should optimize! It’s not like the system is underpowered or anything…. Nope. It surely can’t be that! 🙄
