I fucking love being railroaded

I hope this isn't your webm. Why would you willingly eat shit?

/v/ has the worst fucking taste in games on the internet, you are just mad at Pokemon because you can't TORtanic it

>>723471087 (OP)
what kind of absolute muppet would be playing pokemon

when every one of this franchise's competitors is so far ahead of it by every metric.

>>723472310
The question is what kind of manchild would have any interest in "monster catchers", they are all toddlerslop.

obligatory

>>723471087 (OP)
Just keep following the story until you get to Looker Bureau, then all the railroading stops abruptly and you get free reins.

>>723472310
Kids, you know, the target audience.

The Nintardo defence force is really going full melty with the damage control for this game. Thread after thread has these faggots lashing out with genuine unfiltered butthurt.

anyone who bought and played this should feel shame

>>723472624
It's honestly pretty hilarious, then the game will be forgotten within a week

>>723471087 (OP)
Nice open world you got there pokemon.

>genuine unfiltered butthurt.
Reminder that it's been 7 years since RDR2¡s release and still gets daily seethe threads here because it didn't flop.

Though the angriest I've seen /v/ was back when this place unironically tried to shill Metal Gear Survive and when Death Stranding came out.

Confused that the critical reception is so positive, because it looks like ass. The combat must have improved a lot from Arceus or something

>>723473048
Do you even do anything in combat?

>>723471087 (OP)
did you pick a girl anon

>>723471087 (OP)
Being curious is VERY anti-nintendo. Don't be curious and explorative, this isn't about you, it's about nintendo's sales. If they don't meet a certain number it's all over for nintendo. So stop being curious and accept this is the best video games will ever be. Okay????

Jesus christ pokemon fans are literally mentally stunted.

>>723473048
The combat is just spamming attacks off a cooldown. It's somehow the most braindead pokemon has ever been.

>>723473303
The only time Pokemon isnt braindead is in PvP, which is why the franchise should shift to cattering to compfags and forget about the "muh adventure" retards

>only one city
>you cannot enter buildings
>even the shops are just menus
>no bike or other form of transport
>meanwhile the original had rollerskates, bike and half the buildings in Lumiose City can be entered and have multiple floors even

Wasnt the first legends an open world that told you to get fucked to figure out how to progress the plot?

>>723473560
You wanted another region to trot around? The open world is the first thing that should be scrapped to fix Pokemon.

>>723473647
No, PLA is structured like Monster Hunter.
It also constantly tells you what to do.

The story involves you going on a trip to France, and then someone picks you out to promote their hotel and forces you into their friends group and never lets you have any agency at all for several hours.

When you do get some free reign, you're confined to small playgrounds called "Wild Zones" that have at most 7 or 8 unique species in extremely predictable spawn points.

You send out a Pokémon to spam any of its four attacks until you defeat it, and you can throw a Poké Ball at the already defeated Pokémon (a series first), with the caveat that you don't get further chances to catch it. However, a defeat plus a catch rewards more EXP than just catching it, or just defeating it, so you should always throw a ball after defeating something.

You also have to dodge roll out of the way of attacks occasionally, which is when you can't command your Pokémon so you need to watch for opportunities to attack. Annoyingly, instructing your Pokémon to attack always calls it to your side instead of letting it attack from the position it already has.

There's a lot of issues with this game and the magic that was in Legends Arceus just isn't here from what I can see. The music is pretty nice though, and exploring the environments is nice despite the very obvious problems with the buildings being all flat billboards.

>>723473432
Hey now, the games actually can stimulate a brain cell or two sometimes when they do doubles with actual synergies and items. But yeah, games have always been easy. I just didn't think it could get even worse.

>>723473432
Compfags don't even play pokemon.
They spend all day idling in lobbies on Showdown.
The only people that actually play Pokemon are people that like the adventure aspect or people that like collecting monsters.

Just FYI the game is hyper controlled for like the first hour but once you reach the Looker office you can explore the entire city if you want

>>723474106

Not my fault Nintendo keeps making them so hot.

Literally just go to the next two story event and the entire city opens up, you're literally 4 minutes away to not being railroaded

>>723475514
That scale is absolute bullshit. 6.x has always meant "bad". Anything below a 6 has always meant "broken".

That's what people are used to seeing at work and school. If you miss half of the questions on your exam, you're obviously not qualified. Why change this grading scale for things like essays and review scores?
>Because I have an IQ of 90 and I think that calling every standard on the planet stupid makes me look smart.

>>723472310
They shot themselves in the foot pretending Pokemon is better than Palworld.

Lmaooooo

WOOOOOOW NOTHING I COULD DO Thread

>>723473560
Lumiose itself is also disappointingly small for being the only map. I’m pretty sure the Midgard in FF VII R is bigger.

>>723473432
"Competitive" Pokemon is an even bigger joke than "competitive" Smash. You're not making quick and precise inputs under pressure like you would in, say, Melty Blood or something, you're still picking items from a menu in a children's game.

That is the most British insult I've read in a while. This board needs more people like you who aren't afraid to use funny insults over buzzwords

>>723475514
Review scales work like school grades now. Anything below 50% is a fail.

I like trains

The thing I loved about Arceus was doing all the checkboxes for all the pokemon and exploring the environments. It looks like that stuff isn't in this game right? So no point to get it?

>>723476589
It's the only part of Pokemon that's fun, which is why Champions is already the best Pokemon game ever made even a year before release, because it's just Showdown.

>runs against the bush
i can't tell if this is a troll and the bush has a hitbox or if it actually walls you out there
since this is /v/ and it's a mp4 i'm going to assume the bush hitbox

>>723472209
Deltarune is already one of the best games ever made, cope you soulless nigger conservatard.

>>723479064
Ah yes, the sub-GBA graphics game featuring the worst hits of millennial writing where the gameplay is discussing the 5 billion genders of furry characters.
That doesn't even count as a videogame.

>>723471087 (OP)
Just do the fucking tutorial and unlock side quests.

why was the font selection and UI design so ass, it looks like a 8th grade powerpoint presentation

>>723479180
You have no soul. You can't feel genuine emotion. Kill yourself.

>>723472209
I guarantee whatever shit taste you think /v/ has there's a community out there that takes it to 11.

>>723472719
I don't even play Digimon but looking at their thread and how gorgeous their game is makes me feel ashamed to have ever liked Pokemon.

>It's pure slop through-and-through, sold at an unreasonable price, poorly-optimized, unfinished, and not fun for zero reason.

I seriously have no reason why anyone would buy a modern Pokemon game when the superior franchise is right there.

>>723472408
this is realistic animal behavior whenever two animals are at a gate

>>723479273
No, millennial writing only makes me feel rage at how an adult can behave in such a Flanderized way

this shit is fucking dystopian
remember when the series was based on the pleasure of hiking into the woods on a hot summer day and collecting bugs?
pandering to women is the most soul obliterating process there is

damn the glitz of flash photography has so much more showmanship than lame video recording

>>723479748
>>game is only in a city, you can never leave
THAT'S THE POINT
THAT'S THE WHOLE GIMMICK THEY ADVERTISED THE GAME WITH
THE IDEA IS THAT IT'S A CITY ON A SCALE AND DENSITY THE SERIES HAS NEVER DONE BEFORE. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT.

How are you surprised by this NOW

Easily the biggest problem

-These are subjective appraisals, there is no right or wrong intuition for how to use these scales, even when someone uses the scale differently than the majority of the population does
(ex: someone's "Excellent" could start at 4/10 and be stretched out, so negative appraisals occupy less of the scale)

-A person with 90 IQ can be an incredibly mentally sharp person; IQ score is a relative comparison. By definition the average is always 100 IQ and the deviations are fixed so they occupy a specific percentage of the area under the curve.
A 90 IQ person who is being compared to a group of the world's ""smartest"" people is likely to be pretty intelligent

IQ score predicts within some interval of confidence, where a person is most likely to be placed along the normally distributed IQ curve.
It's a useful indicator of intelligence, but IQ measures IQ, not intelligence

t. always felt like a retard but turns out I'm likely to be "high above average IQ" which is one peg below gifted or genius

yes my dude the seven retards standing in line for absolutely no reason is super clever and soulful fuck you

IT SOLD WELL!!! STFU!!! ERIC!!!!!! NDS!!!

>>723480538
>A 90 IQ person who is being compared to a group of the world's ""smartest"" people is likely to be pretty intelligent
I admit this is an extreme example to illustrate a point, though. Typically somebody who tested as 90 IQ is almost at the point where they cannot take care of themselves or manage daily life, they might neglect basic necessities and die unless they have caretakers

but there is not standalone "objective" IQ. The score is measured against other scores, and statistical methods are applied to make it look like a normal / Gaussian curve. it's a guesstimate within a range, not an immutable singular trait we carry around. A hypothetical construct, a mental label that helps us understand our shared reality, but might not actually co-incide much with physical reality also why am I typing this in a pokemon thread kek. I enjoy talking about this stuff

>>723477808
The research seems to have been drastically simplified down to "Catch 3/5/8/15/25/50 Water type Pokémon", "Evolve 5 Pokémon", etc.
Which equates to braindead gameplay of just catching everything you see with reckless abandon, as long as you've still got Poké Balls (of which you can buy hundreds easily).

>>723472909

Since when?

>>723471698
Yeah OP, why aren't you sitting on 4chan malding like the real smart guys?

>>723483075
Kek I still remember all the sonic crossworlds threads trying to claim it was the MKW killer.

>>723480538
>there is no right or wrong intuition for how to use these scales
caveat:
if you're being explicitly told how to use a scale but refuse to follow those instructions, then yeah that's incorrect use of the scale, or at the very least, goes against the spirit of their intended data collection methods

like when you go to a doctor and they say "if 1 is no pain and 10 is unbearable", there's still a lot of leeway for subjective interpretation of that, but I'd agree there are 'correct/incorrect' ways to use that scale: like when I overheard a lady calmly saying she was in 10 pain when in reality she'd be doubled over or barely be able to do anything except breathe or gasp or scream

cheers

>>723477334
60 is a return to form for pokemon.

>>723475649
"Outstanding" means it stands out from the rest, but its quality still lies within one's expectations for a good game.
"Incredible" goes even further and implies it's so good one has to experience it to believe it.

>>723482243
That really sucks. I got a switch 2 mainly for this game because I loved Arceus so much. Oh well, at least kirby air ride looks good.

>>723483075
>>723483251
No one cares about MKW not even you cultist tendies. Your game gets basically no threads besides the ones that seethe about Sonic Racing Crossworlds and even those threads die out in double digit posts because even your hatred for anything you perceive to slight Nintendo can't make you care enough about MKW.

>>723474106
Oh, that's cool, he's going to jump the player because they ignored him telling them to watch their ba-

Oh...

>>723473560
Forgive me for saying this, but can't you literally go OVER the buildings?

>>723479748
Is top even real? Yes, I'm aware of what flash photography is, but if you pause the video every single flash effect is identical regardless of what direction and distance it's coming from.

>>723473560
>meanwhile the original
Wait what? Besides being Poketrash this is also remakeslop?

>>723485654
ZA is a 5 year sequel of XY

Only a handful of minor characters return, none of the original mains show up or get mentioned

>>723479686
Not American, but here's basically how it works where I live
>Need >50% to pass
>50-59% for 1, 60-69% for 2, etc. until 5 (max grade)
Even though 1-5 are the only grades you see, it's actually a scale from 1-10. 1-5 are just all fail so nobody cares about that shit

>>723485654
It's a stealth spinoff sequel to XY.

>>723484898
>/v/ threads mean a game is good/popular
Honestly just stick with steam charts shitposting. At least then you might actually bait someone into arguing with you.

>>723486009
It's not on /v/ alone though.
No one cares about MKW outside 4chan too. Many, many people think it's the worst MK yet and no one wants to play it anymore and that's why you can't find any lobbies.
MK8 is outselling MKW that's how utter shit MKW is. Why can't you faggots admit Nintendo dropped the ball hard with MKW?

what kind of absolute muppet would be spending their time discussing, debating, thinking about pokemon if they aren't even going to play it

when every one of their successful peers are spending things on time they enjoy or want to build
