Sometimes it just makes me feel like "scoring" games is almost outdated even though its the quickest way for a general understanding. Like 10 being perfect and 1 being basically unplayable, Id say 7's are happy fun games with some random issues. Then 5s are like games that arent very fun as well as not very bad or good. Literally the middle of the road.
Wow this was a pleasant surprise! Was interested in this on playstation just never convinced me to shift platformers to play 1 game. Excited to play when it launches on Switch 2
@Bizzyb yeah helps clear it up a bit. Thanks for the info. A little surprised they kept anything going through all the games. But little sad to hear kinda ended with VI. At least the parallel story up till then
Not like they need to nuke their merch. But a hard reset while it would keep some people from playing, would be a huge new way to redefine a generation. Being able to get new pokemon throughout the entire journey would be a perfect way to introduce a genreation to feel completely new. Allows people to create memories with new pokemon instead of gravitating to old favorites. As well when the pokedex is limited to new faces, there isnt anything to pull back on for safety. No "heres Gen 1 starter pokemon again!" or "oh this character came back with Gen 3 pokemon" I dont know, i think for the overwhelming amount of it, it can and would be a good thing.
For those who mention they are "running out of ideas" I think its a little hard to convince me of that. Sure some lame designs exist. But almost all are based on something from real life but if you want to believe it or not. There are tons of animals that look very similar in the world.
TLDR: I enjoyed the game myself, but why matched at number 1? Not sure.
Surprised myself thinking that SS:HH are one tick lower. As someone mentioned already kinda points out why review scores are only good to a certain degree.
HOWEVER, I did play Pokemon Y and honestly it was the game to bring me back into the series. Simple? Yes. Fun? Yes.
But its simple story was kind of stretched across all Pokemon on the 3DS if you really think about it. (but we are talking about one game specifically)
So Y is Y the top? Not sure. I enjoyed it tons for hundreds of hours tho.
Umbreon is the only pokemon (outside of Pikachu) ive ever had a plush of. As well Umbreon was the only pokemon I ever had a pillow pet of. SO I think my choice was already made for me.
A good game is a good game. I remember playing through this the first time on the Wii U and on that 480p tablet screen. Things have really changed since then. But I am pleased with the upgrade and will love to explore these worlds again
Greninja gotta be the winner. I really dont think there was much debate. I will forever love the hundreds of hours i poured into this game and the renaissance that came with the 20th anniversary not too long after these games dropped. Will forever hate on GaemFreak for switching up the formula on us, leaving us without a proper Z title for the 3DS. Overall loved this generation after being away from Pokemon for a few years.
@HugoGED I used to be in the same boat. And there is still discussion worth having for Key Cards for games under the 64gb limit. But when the game is over that limit, honestly im alright with it now. Games on PS5 from my knowledge require installations from online, and basically act as a key just like these Key Cards.
But it does feel gross overall to be moving to gamings more digital future. Just another step closer with these
Excited to find out more games coming to the console!
DECA POLICE PLEASEEEEEEEEEE ITS BEEN TOO LONG.
Anything specific expecting???
I feel like we will see something from the Xbox Showcase.
Some more Resident Evil seems very possible.
Dying Light 2? (since cloud never came to the Switch or even Dying Light The Beast?)
Maybe native ports of Kingdom Hearts Collection?
Would love new stuff
Its interesting to see Capcom opening Mega Man once again for fan submissions after what happened with Legends 3 and how they seemed to do the same thing there. I hope the artists work finally see the light of day.
I enjoyed the first game. Blur and all on the Switch. But it wasnt revolutionary. Just a good rump through the game when it was on discount. Wouldnt mind the 2nd one but probably would have to be on a discount as well.
I recently got the chance to try the demo out at a local retailer. And I was impressed by its performance and visuals. I think if Age of Calamity was something to go by, this is going to be amazing another 100% completion for me.
While I am waiting for Sonic Crossworlds on the Switch 2. Ive had the game since release and recently passed 24 hours on switch. Been great for me and plenty to do. But yes the mood does get damped in handheld mode. soon S2 soon
Excited for this game, the free Sega characters DLC is much appreciated. Would have preferred them wait for the DLC announcements from outside of SEGA but doesnt change the fact that I want to play as Pacman and Mega man in Sonic. And drive through the Krusty Krab
@Zeebor15 Money. Bet people to buy before then they can buy again when the game drops. Cause Id imagine dropping all on release date, would leave sales expectedly lower than time apart.
Hmm gamekey card is unfortunate but expected with its file size. (if 64 is the max as sources suggested) I never played before and didnt get the option before. But Ill be picking up. Not sure which way though. FFVII- over 20 years later, still not all on card cause of card size.
Strange to add open environments to the Metroid prime series. I feel that it could be worrying and mess with some of the metroidvania style it has. But then again them restarting development when they did has me thinking that maybe its better than expected.
I'm DYING for a new Kid Icarus game. Just TEASEEE ME PLEASEEE.
