1 year agoI skipped sword and shield. Pokemon scarlet and violet ran terribly. Yet even though I went into it expecting to have a bad time, I still enjoyed the gameplay loop?
I’m extremely conflicted because I know that if it wasn’t for it being pokemon I would have likely dropped S&V like a hot potato. And with the lie about reduced pokemon in each game due to having to recreate the models from scratch (and then people finding out Sw&Sh models were just 3ds models) it just rubbed me the wrong way.
All in all I can’t help but think of what the games could be if they took the time to do it right.
Compared to how little my salary increases each year? Yeah they sure feel that way
