SV doesn't even attempt to feel like a journey or an adventure
Besides Area Zero (which is just the linear story epilogue) there's no sense of discovery or wonder, no

Where do you think you are?

Currently playing through the game for the first time and while I'm having fun with it, this is also one of my criticisms of it. It's so empty. And not just the provinces, the cities too. But I guess at least the cities still have style, the routes don't even have that.

If Elden Ring can't help but suffer from this problem, there's no way Game Freak can sufficiently populate their open worlds. They really just gotta get away from this stupid, stale trend. Quit chasing the BOTWbux

I know, and how fags will gaslight with shit like “hurrrr you didn’t like Galar’s literal hallways so gf gave you exactly what you wanted, be grateful chud durrr”

>>58014221 (OP)
yep, it's empty, but don't tell that to paldeafags
