From what I've heard, overtly negative content like that tends to do better with YouTube's algorithm so that probably explains the view count on a lot of those videos. Couple that with the general disdain that a particularly loud (and somewhat sizable, truthfully) subset of the Pokémon audience feels towards GameFreak and boom: you've got some primo content.
I think the Noble fights are also supposed to evoke the same sense of fighting a tough monster in MH. I imagine we're also supposed to learn about the Noble Pokemon, gather ingredients based on that information, and craft the balms in preparation for the fights. That part might even be confirmed? I can't remember. You then go in there and whittle them down with action-based combat.
Like I said in another thread, Fire Emblem Three Houses runs like shit and its uglier than this. 89 in Metacritic.
My point is that 73 seems perfectly reasonable, even generous. Simplifying the reviews as "bad chibi grafix are BAD" seems pretty disingenuous.
It's on of those very common ERA takes that make no sense, like turn based combat=bad...
But saying "all the reviews are wrong" seems pretty pushy to me.
No your point was that all other pokemon games should have reviewed worse.
The 19B one is Stylized Station, a fucking ue4 art tutorial channel
Ah that's who I want to go to for in-depth knowledge of Pokémon
Yeah really hope they have an improved product for 9th gen, while I did love SwSh for what it is, there is a lot of room for improvements, I'm hoping we can see some of that vision in PLA.
I don't think its that long, if we're going by recent leak dates we should start seeing stuff online early next week
I was going to do some deep dive videos into how things actually are and actually work, but nobody would watch them because they're not doomsaying and agreeing with preconceived notions and confirmation bias
I think the focus on open world will stay though i could see it being one major city and several smaller ones
Oh yeah. There was a topic like that in here right? I remember you rightfully called me out on that. Thanks for that and also creating that page. I already used it huahuahuahha.
Sure bud, thank you for telling me my own point lol.
I think an "Open world" structure is here to stay. I don't see how they go back to normal "routes" any more. There still will have to be some sort of blockade to funnel people through the overarching story and point them in the right direction but i think more areas like the Wild Area/PLA will be the norm going forward.
Agreed, i personally think going back to normal routes for the most part would be a massive step back
I do wonder how balms work during them, because in the video the player actually has infinite balms
I hate how these have to be considered "features" as opposed to natural evolutions of the gameplay that we shouldn't have to hope return
the blockades would have to evolve from the "we're standing here for no reason, we'll disappear for no reason". probably a "you need x badges to enter". the best option would be to allow any order of gyms and to separate gym progression from main plot progression. Gen 1 largely did this and I'm surprised they haven't brought it back
I think BDSP getting a 73 is very fair, as is 80 for SwSh and the other scores, what I think is disingenuous is thinking because you didn't enjoy the games as much as others then their score is inflated, but in reality this whole discussion is stupid imo, and I regret starting it in the first place.
Fake leakers whetting their lips in anticipation in the last few days they'll be able to do anything
