Re: Soapbox: Pokémon Desperately Needs A Rival, But Who's Big Enough To Take It On?

"However, ambitious as it was, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is, by most metrics, an inferior game to Sword and Shield."

I strongly disagree. Yes, it has tons of technical problem but at least otherwise it was a solid Pokemon game. SwSh may not have had those technical difficulties but was lackluster otherwise. Routes mostly were linear, literally zero optional places to explore, interesting story bits happened outside of the players presence (amok running Perrserker, explosion in the power plant). Don't see how that is better than SV

I had a ton of fun playing through Pokemon Violet while playing through Pokemon Sword left me underwhelmed

Re: Random: Sony's Upcoming 'Project Q' Is A Little More Wii U Than Switch

Except that the Wii U gamepad didn't connect to the console via Wi-Fi. If it were more like that this thing might actually be interesting since my PS5 is near to my bed and couch anyway so connection wouldn't be a problem and it would be nice to play PS5 on a handheld at night.

But I my internet isn't good enough for such things so no thanks

Re: UK Charts: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Is The Biggest Boxed Launch Of 2023

@Kiz3000 Pretty sure that 54% means the launch period of Hogwarts Lagacy, not the overall sales. I mean the article also mentioned that it beat out BotW by 174% and if they were talking about overall sales that would mean that TotK sold about 82mio copies lol (since BotW sold about 30mio and +174% = 82mio)

Still very impressive though since Hogwarts Legacy sold like crazy as far as I'm aware
