Game Freak has a history of doing one-and-done attempts at game features.

Look I could understand the poor animations if they were actually adding in all 1000+ Pokemon. But they’re not, they’re only including a limited number, which you’d think would result in a quality over quantity type improvement, except that there doesn’t seem to be any effort to improve animations either.

Basically they just want gimmicks they can list on the back of the box. It's way easier to market a game if you can say you added something new, except in GF's case it usually means they remove a feature as well.

This is pretty much the opposite of what I wanted them to release. All I want is a regular Switch with better quality hardware.

It also doesn’t really hold up gameplay wise. It was a fun game but not necessarily a good game.

I understand this sentiment, but at the same time they’ve basically been making the same game with minimal changes for the past 20 years....

I don’t think Crackdown 3 had any hype whatsoever, especially closer to its release and people actually saw what it looked like.

The problem is that I don’t think Microsoft owns to rights to a lot of the older games released on the OG Xbox.

I don’t necessarily think they were risk averse, I think they just had a problem with managing their talent prior to Phil Spencer taking the reigns from Don Matrick.

I played it for a bit. It’s not good, and it definitely isn’t bad. I feel it’s more aggressively mediocre.

I mean Scalebound looked really rough when they showed it off, and I believe they only had their B-team working on it.

I mean they really only have two franchises that revolve around shooting...

I don’t understand why people are so upset about this game.

Honestly Microsoft’s problem is that it shut down or let go most of its veteran studios and developers and tried replacing them with brand new start ups.

The new Armor 2.0 system coming with Shadowkeep looks like they’re addressing that. Basically all armor will now drop with zero perks. Armor effects will be applied with mods that you collect.

Kind of makes sense considering that plug and play Android TV dongles never took off for gaming, back when everyone thought mobile games were going to be the next big thing.

It’s nice that he’s actually working on a game that will ship.

You can actually crush it into powder and somewhat forge it, but the ends results are nothing like the weapons shown in the show.

All the insta-super regen Exotic Armors were overpowered. If you can instantly regain a high DPS ability than any encounter that doesn’t involve damage sponges becomes trivially easy.

Hopefully the inventory menu is reworked along with the HUD. Even on the Xbox and PS4 the inventory menus were hot garbage.
