Nintendo has to step in and provide a free patch that brings this game to the quality that the title promises.

The title promises the same Pokémon experience that has existed for over 10 years, with a few worse things here and there. No need for a patch.
My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Yes ten year old technology in 2019. Patch it up.

You did, or at the very least you were implying objectivity isn't a thing, that we can only look at game prices based on feelings. Anyway forget that, are you ever going to acknowledge that Game Freak said they're going for quality? |
You were trying to imply opinion on how much something is worth is objective. I said it is not, as it is subjective.
Please pay attention.

Oh please. How many times are we going to give companies a pass for this? It's 2019 already. HD development should not be an issue, especially for one of the biggest IP's in the world. They rushed it out to catch holiday sales and the game suffered for this. Its bad when EA, Sony, and MS are doing this, it's bad when Nintendo is doing it.
Vote the Mayor for Mayor!
There is one simple reason. Why pay more to make something when you can pay less and get the same results.
Confectionery and other junk food is a class example where chocolate bars, packets of crisps etc have gotten smaller over the years, but the price has gone up.
Making a giant leap in visuals will cost more and make them less money. If they can keep things basic, they need less time, less skills, less staff and people will still buy the game so profits will be higher.

2019 has nothing to do with it. Look at GameFreak in particular, they have very little experience outside portable gaming devices. Clearly they have struggled with the transition. Certainly the game was rushed as well. And nobody is getting a pass. S/S is sitting at an 81 at Meta. It isn't sitting at a 97 with 80 perfect scores. Reviewers have noted the issues facing the game. The folks here won't STFU about it. The reality is S/S is a good game, not great, but not horrible either. And the haters can't stand that it is a good game.

The response from Pokemon fans on the internet have been largely negative. However most of the Pokemon fanbase does not really participate in these forums, so there is no telling what the vast majority thinks. Judging by sales of the game, it cannot be that bad. And from the outside looking in, I have arguably seen just as many Pokemon fans on the net liking the game as those that hate it. Full disclosure, I am looking at this from the outside looking in. I am a gen 1 Pokemon player that stopped after yellow. This is my first game to return to, and I am having a blast. Most of the complaints regarding the national dex and the cuts mean NOTHING to me. With that in mind, what I see is a good game that deserves the 8/10. I am not defending the game, I almost did not buy it as I have said before (glad I did). That is not even what this thread is about. But what I am noticing is that fans who are upset about the success of the games for whatever reason somehow feel the need to hijack any discussion that mentions Pokemon just to complain about it. Now Fililix, I am not refering to you when I say this as I know you to be level headed. But when someone says that most of the Pokemon fanbase is upset about the game, they seem to using tunnel vision due to their own disappointment. From the outside looking in, there are just as many who are fine with it as those that hate it and they are just attacking eachother. The game has flaws, and I blame no one for not buying it for their own reasons. But it is also a good game, and if it is still a mega hit for being a good game no one has the right to hate on those who bought it. The vast majority obviously did not have a problem with it. People who enjoy the game deserve no less respect than those who gave it a pass. |
I don't know if this is true, and it's hard to really tell, since of course 'the Pokémon fanbase' is a very vague and hard to define group of people. It's just an observation that I made when I visited the Pokébeach forums yesterday. The discussion over there is a lot calmer over there than it is here - because no one over there seems to be desperate to defend the game against the others. Most people are critisising the game, and the few people who aren't, are just talking about the game without the phony praising and without attacking people who don't like it. Here on VGChartz on the other hand, there's an overwhelming amount of unnecessary provocative comments ("And the haters can't stand that it is a good game.").
The game looks fine , bright cartoon artstyle and colours that pop. It's not cutting edge but everything looks clean to me so far.
