First thought: OH MY GOD I CAN FINALLY PLAY IT

These are exactly my sentiments. I love Pokemon, but I’m no longer going to support a company that’s willing to do the bare minimum when they can afford to do more. 

This isn’t even their first Switch game, so they can’t even use the excuse of having to work with new hardware.

OR...maybe people engage with games as art and therefore have nuanced priorities of what does and does not make a good game? Art is a bigger priority for some people. Some people love or hate games based solely on the soundtrack.

If I said, “Hey this game is beautiful but it controls like shit” I wouldn’t tell you to…

Do you really think fans are ‘deserved’ anything simply for consuming a product? 

I mean, can you really blame people for being bummed about the artstyle & graphics? I think the general consensus is that most people want Gamefreak to build upon this, as it answers every single problem people have had with their “one step forward, 2 steps back” approach, but the graphics needs some working on.

I’ve been arguing over this for a while now and honestly I am tired of gamefreak. Yes it’s not only their fault that they don’t get a proper budget and have tight deadlines.
But it becomes more and more apparent that they’re not a good fit to bring pokemon games up to today’s standards when they just reached the…

As a first entry in a new series, of course it will take some growing into.

“This is a great foundation for future games to build on” has been the running mantra for every mainline Pokémon game since 2013.

I’m very much in the “art direction beats graphical fidelity” camp, but this game doesn’t really seem to have much of either. And the level of pop-in I’ve seen in some of these videos goes beyond a graphical issue and becomes a gameplay issue.

So... he can’t be a public figure on the Internet and be criticized? I mean, $50,000 buys you a nice car.

Wouldn’t an actual socialist consider excess participation in materialism directly detrimental to their long term goals? He’s literally lining the pockets of the kind of companies he ascribes societal ills to lmao

And yet, once again, you’ve failed to provide any examples of exactly how nfts will benefit games.

The problem with that is the same problem with all other proposed “good uses” of blockchains; you could do the same thing more efficiently with a distributed transactional database.

They could use all those GPUs to work to cure cancer like the Folding at Home project.... but where’s the benefit in that amiright?

Yeah, I mean, the main reason that these articles keep popping up is because Florida has a pretty transparent Sunshine Law that makes all these reports open to peruse, so lazy journalists use it to pad out their clickbait. There’s no more crazy people in Florida than in other places, but people think that “Florida…

I think the big part you miss about the not owning is the still paying. I don’t own anything on Game Pass but it cost me less than two triple A games to get a 3 year sub. On Stadia I still had to buy full price games ala carte but also did not own them. But compare it to Steam, EGS, or Xbox & PS digital stores you…

The only products I can think of that Google didn’t bail on and were slow on the uptake is it’s office productivity suite. 

So many businesses struggle to see things from the customer’s viewpoint. Stadia should never have been marketed to the sort of gamer who already owns a library of console and/or PC titles, because there’s no real value for that consumer. It should have been marketed from the beginning to the casual gamer who is…
