Y'all need to scroll up. But not on this page.
oof. stadiums and Colloseum/Battle Revolution almost do more harm now the pokemon's perception.
Holy shit. I have no idea what is wrong with reviewers and Poke'mon games.
Or maybe they're saying how they actually feel about the game? Holy shit.
Not by any means, given that there's only been 20 or so reviews, as opposed to ~100 or so that we should expect. In all due honesty, game releases typically drop a point or two as the smaller reviewers post their reviews.
Thought I'd refreshed the page when I posted. Oh well, I just wanted to get my weak joke about how much I love LM3 in.
The problem I have with this sentiment is that we've gotten it for at least 4 games now and it just rings hollow at this point.
EDGE threads are some of the hardest threads to read on this forum. So many can't accept they follow different review standards than the rest of the industry.
Obsession with Metacritic scores and gloating, even here, has caused peopled to believe reviews should all be standardised and directly comparable.
Yeah I feel like the series is reaching the point where for a lot of people it's best to check out for 5 years and then come back and see a game's worth of accumulated improvements so you'll probably be fine
Yeah it's like Let's Go in that they sort of balloon out of the ground
if he is talking about the Pokémon that appear in the overworld, perhaps Gamefreak used the same Let'Go trick, in which the Pokémon appeared with a mini animation and a bit of effects to give a little more elegance. Could refer to that.
The next Edge thread has the potential to be a doozy if they end up giving a score to Death Stranding and have a review for Sword/Shield.
Yeah, and I honestly feel a little guilty, like I should just be grateful, but it's missing too much stuff. I've been dreaming of a proper console Pokémon game for nearly twenty years. Just something epic with more content than ever, kinda like the Smash Ultimate of Pokémon. Guess we'll have to wait longer.
Reminds me of the GameXplain review. Derrick's opinions are pretty solid, but he spends the last 3 minutes of the review talking about how the best part of SwSh is how the improvements will impact the next game.
Totally. It's like what Telltale was doing with their crappy engine. If it's holding the games back—drop that shit. I wish they'd just ask Nintendo to use their in house engine (not sure what it's called).
People aren't scoring or recommending the game based on the future though, they're doing so on the game they have in front of them. You can still talk about the past/future of a series without it affecting your opinion on or experience with the game you have in your hand.
Another review that says these "push the series forward" without actually explaining what that means.
