| Vodacixi said: I was just giving my thoughts an aproximate number. It could be more, it could be less. Of course, I believe it will be significantly less than what Emerald gave compared to Ruby and Sapphire. Or Platinum compared to Diamond and Pearl. I don't know if I'm understanding you. Do you think the entire new content of Emerald is just two hours over Ruby and Sapphire? Hmm... I don't know. I think the Battle Frontier alone (there's more than that, obviously) is like tens of hours. Easily. Also, Emerald has many differences compared to Ruby and Sapphire that make it worth playing it again. But you only talk about hours. I also talk about improvements. Emerald created animations for every Pokémon available back then, making them less static. Platinum modified the DS engine because Diamond and Pearl were extremely slow games for some reason both in battle and outside. Platinum was much more fluid and faster (thank God). Do you think the DLC will fix or improve any of the areas where Sword and Shield are very clearly flawed (animations for both Pokémon and NPCs, popping, online errors, balance Dynamax... and a large etc)? They didn't say anything about that at the Direct. It's been almost two months since the games released and it still stands at version 1.0. Personally, I don't think they will... My point still stands: I prefer a new game than paying 30 dolars for (in my opinion based on everything I stated in my posts) far less content. |
Your point is based on an assumption and presented as an objective that's the problem it never really had anything to stand on to begin with the changes in Emerald for start were mostly tweaks which is why the whole third version argument hinges on whether someone bought the initial versions you may not have an issue with a remix but it's clear it's a key point in people preferring DLC secondly if these tweaks and changes were DLC going by the very link you posted it would have been less content added to play than the DLC for Sw/Sh which costs less as you're essentially playing the base game again with tweaks.
You also neglect to factor in Emerald came 2 years after the base games the DLC arrives 7 months after the game's release with the first area and 11 months with the second area, we get two areas, new features, continuation with the story and such we're getting comparable content in 11 months for less as well.
