but the internet told me its literally an playstation 2 game with n64 game physics and a story!

they even took out a random feature they put in 2004 and never put back in since, but i mean they should have obviously put back BERRY MIXING I MEAN WTF GAMEFREAK

gamefreak said they took out half the pokemon for balancing issues, but YOU CANT FOOL ME I KNOW ITS CUZ YOURE TOO LAZY SITTING AROUND WATCHING ANIME TITTIES

how could this game be good?! i know, the reviewers are LIARS being paid by NINTENDO!

BOYCOTT NINTENDO!

Nintendo will pay reviewers for good reviews but wont pay to get competent developers for their games.

Yah hate to see it.

The game objectively looks bad.

Don't give me the children's game bs. Games suitable for children are allowed to not suck. The first 5 generations were all really good games suitable for children for their time.

The only valid reviews are the ones that 100% agree with my opinions, regardless of if my opinions are based on actually playing the games myself or not.

Tbh, I think what really has people pissed is how brazenly minimum effort this game clearly is. Even if it's an enjoyable game, the developers cut an embarrassing amount of corners in many aspects of the game.

Most reviewers blitz through a game, see the credits and move on. The game is probably fine enough for that audience.

I feel like reviews are giving it a pass solely because it's Pokemon. Not even talking about bribes or whatever, just name recognition. If any other Switch game looked like this, they'd knock off a point just for the graphical issues.

Considering IGN is claiming their people spent 40 hours on a game that is averaging people under 20 hours, I don't think they really blitz through the game.

Even beyond laziness. Theyve made concerted effort to fuck the game(s) up. Like locking the sound settings behind an item from an optional NPC and not even telling players? Wtf is that??? They had to do extra work to make a bizarre ass conundrum like that.

I have no problem with Gamefreak playing around with and changing features each game. I have no problem with them mixing with the status quo and doing things they haven't done before. I do have a problem with them removing Pokemon with no way of using them and removing moves.

I think the average for a reviewer is around 25-30 for the main path and taking on all of the trainers. 40 hours still isn't super long for a hardcore Pokmon person. Pretty sure I played Let's Go Pikachu for longer than that.

After she published her review she probably did move on.

Turns out reviewers can be biased and dead wrong about a game.

Go figure the most popular video game franchise has enough loyalty that odds are most reviewers will completely look the other way despite the fact a game has a laundry list of glaring flaws.

SWSH is basically the Star Wars Battlefront 2 of 2019 for me. Tons of hype for it but the more stuff comes out about the game the lower my hype gets until it disappears.

Look at it this way.

WWE 2K20 isn't just mediocre or a step down. It's an outright broken game. It barely functions. It sold more than Outer Worlds in its first week in the UK. Which was a game that sold pretty well. When the US results come out in the next week or so it's probably gonna show it sold pretty well.

WWE is an IP that is way past its prime and gets dwarfed by Pokmon.

The casual audience (of which is massive for Pokmon) is probably gonna be happy enough with Sword/Shield.

It's a game from a typically easy series, tailored to be even easier than usual. Of course it did well in an era where game reviewers often can't even play games.

Because watching 35 year old decry a video game company for making something they don't like intended for kids is SAD.

Just because a game is intended for kids does not mean its okay to pass over all it's flaws. Kids deserve to get a good game too.
