For anyone who’s already playing this, how does the performance compare to Arceus?
I’ve watched a few vids and it looks like the fps drops to like 10-15 especially if you’re in a water setting
WTF is going on GF
My only question is when Games like XC3 and Nier can run much better and have much more going on then why can’t GF make Pokemon run good enough.
All reddit critics: Protest witg your wallet
Nintendo earning report: 20M sales! Here you go free darkrai!
I already saw personal review videos who early got the game while they think that this is the best Pokemon game on switch, The main issue is the performance which I will be surprised if there’s no another patch (1.02) this week.
For those who have played it, how does it compare with Arceus?
Are there other gameplay elements besides pokemon? older games had at least some puzzles, newer ones were just running from town to town
12 FPS let’s goooo
I said it in a post yesterday, and I’ll say it here: it’s wack to hold reviews back this long.
Game Freak please just give me a Pokemon game with the graphics of New Pokemon Snap and the gameplay of Legends: Arceus.
All the praise in the world doesn’t help the fact you lose your save data if your switch randomly fails to turn on. It’s 2022 ffs
“Pokemon has changed”
“I can’t believe they took out X feature”
“I hope Y stays for all future games!” *it won’t*
“I think this is my last game I’m going to buy. Gamefreak should try harder”
​
1 billion units sold.
Still can’t believe Game Freak removed Set mode from these games after it being a setting since gen 1
Do we think there could be a performance patch? Has GF done something like that in the past?
I have the game. Been playing it for about a day. (Physical cartridge, switch OLED, for those who care. Day 1 patch applied already). The performance is horrible. Worse than Legends Arceus by far. I tried uploading videos showing off how hilariously bad the pop ins, warping, and frame rate issues were but the hardcore Pokemon fans accused me of just looking for a reason to not like the game. I honestly won’t be surprised if this is one of the lowest rated Pokemon games -review score wise- because of how bad the bugs are. NPCs and Pokemon will pop in and out literally ten feet away from your main character. And this happens in enclosed areas, like the main hall of the school, not in the open world. Riding around on your Legendary Pokemon feels horrible. I don’t understand how they made riding Wyrdeer feel so incredibly good but this feels so bad. Idk. Maybe they’ll have some sort of major tech update at launch to fix these issues. I sincerely hope they do because there IS good to the games. The Pokemon designs are some of the best they’ve made in years. The environments are somehow beautiful (when standing still). The characters are charming. It’s just the tech and bug issues that are so glaringly bad that cause a suspension of disbelief.
Let me guess, kind of fun games, iterative changes, performance sucks?
Wow that little confidence it in huh?
Pokemon Company releasing more shovelware
I got my copy early so we’ll see how it goes
ive been thinking about getting a switch for myself for christmas, is it worth it?
My only issue with the game is that they give you the freedom do the gym challenge in any order but their levels don’t scale accordingly! Miss opportunity.
Other then some personal grips i have with the game which are very opinion wise and taste . i expect most review to have those cons that i think are big negative
– Performance , i didnt mind the fps drop and pokemon popping up but it is a con
– World is too big and empty , Arceus made sense to be empty… but … S/V dont make sense to be this empty and this big for no reason …
Personal Cons
– Too easy , i mean pokemon learn very too strong move early on and trainer all have 1 mons…(not counting gym) they even remove set option for switch to make it easier
– I prefer linear style pokemon game with nicely made route and not some bland open field .
– I hate all starter final evo … one less then the other 2 … xD
Personal Pros
– Best generation since … B/W in term of pokemon i like . it was so easy to make my team of my favorite looking one !
– Competitive is heading on a good path
– Lot of convenience !!!
Overall i think we gonna see at worst 7/10 and 8/10 in the highest score .
Lifting the embargo a day before launch is never a good sign.
IGN will give it a 7 and compare it to god of war
