Thread 58384645

Those who are playing the game, how would you rate it so far? I'm still on the fence

9/10

>>58384656
Swagalicois. The soundtrack is getting me hyped to buy the game. I'll probably preload it when the metacritic scores come out.

How is the combat?

>>58384645 (OP)
i'd say it's a perfect 10/10 and i say that as someone who has hated every single pokemon game since let's go
it's fun, the change in battle style makes the game so much more engaging
now i'll just wait for a good emulator version that can play the game with minimal visual glitches, and pkhex

>>58384876
Would you say the combat is better than the regular battle format or is it too early to say?

>>58384645 (OP)
8/10

9/10
Much better than PLA

legends arceus was one of my fav pokemon games, this one is as good if not slightly better, just a shame there doesnt seem to be any flying/less movement options

>>58385052
For real
All they need to do is take the ridemons mechanic from LGPE and put it in a "real" game and I'd coom galaxies

The pokemon call of the wild shitposts would become true

>>58385307
If the game is 20 hours that means some anons are about 1/4ths through the game now

>>58385307
>how would you rate it so far?
>so far

>>58384957
definitely better
like i said, it's engaging instead of hitting a button and waiting for the same boring text play over the screen
now you actually get to enjoy battles, plus it's not as easy as it looks
getting good with the move timings will take practice

i haven't played it yet but it's clearly a 10/10, the new megas are so cool and i love the soulslite battle system

>>58385407
>2 hours of a game is 10/10

>>58385645
yes, it means the game convinced players that it's great in just 2 hours

>>58384645 (OP)
Fun.

>>58384645 (OP)
great

Wow. This sure is organic and normal interaction between people.

WHEN DOES THE FUCKING TUTORIAL END
AAAAAAAAAAA FUCK OFF CUNT LET ME COLLECT THOSE ITEMS I CAN CLEARLY SEE

>>58384645 (OP)
About the 6-7/10 or so you might expect I think
Although holy fuck get me OUT of this tutorial. They make you pass by a cluster of shops and you're not allowed to go check them out because player you have to go do story first!! Though I've also stalled for like 30 minutes because I wanted a male espurr but only two spawn at a time and they seem to be on a set respawn timer, the catch rate isn't high and they run away and disappear IMMEDIATELY. You have to be ON that shit

10/10 i think jaded players will be surprised, the battling is great and the story is really touching so far. these first 45 minutes have been great, can't wait to see what's in store

How does the catching mechanic compare to PLA? Can you still sneak, throw berries etc?

maybe 9.5/10, the battles are a bit too hard for my blood

Can anyone playing this on Switch tell me how it runs?
>>58385857
Is it really that bad?

>>58386112
im playing on release switch and it runs fine, some of the cutscenes/scenery looks a bit jank at the lower resolution and the frame rate sometimes stutters for half a second when entering a new zone/ something big loads but not bothering me too much

the fucking tutorial is horrendous though, like a solid hour + of being led around

thankfully just got to the detective agency and got some sidequests and seem to be free to roam around now

whoa people, slow it down. 10/10 after like an hour or so of play? LOL. my local store actually leaked the game yesterday and ive played maybe 6 hours? so it's not that i disagree per se the game is clearly fantastic and 10/10 but come on guys, get a bit further in before making a claim like this. and its clearly not for everyone anyway. if you have a shred of taste or self respect you might not like it

I'm a little surprised the NPCs seem to have slight variations aside just the race ones
Blonde Hex must be somewhere

>>58386056
no berries, can sneak, no bootyshots
can knock out a pokemon in battle and have a second or two to catch it which seems to be 100% catch rate so far, not failed once

>>58386158
compared to semen and vomit this is 1000/10

>>58386170
Aren't bootyshots in? I did it to the tutorial Fletchling by sneaking around it.

>>58385721
>SO FAR
Stop being a retard

>I haven't been a fan since ____, but....
>It's the most fun I've had with Pokemon since ____
Every fucking time, I swear

>>58386148
>solid hour +
Fuck man. I know this is a completely new gameplay loop as far as Pokémon goes so they have to teach even the dumbest child how shit works, but at least add an "skip tutorial" option for the non-braindeads.

>>58386191
oh maybe I'm wrong, I hadn't noticed anything different hitting front vs back

>>58384645 (OP)
The only reason I was on the fence was for potentially dogshit performance on Switch, but after playing it a bit today, it seems like it'll be fine.

>>58385337
>20 hours
This number comes from where exactly?

>>58386269
Pokemon games are typically around 20-25 hours

>>58386322
I cannot remember the last time my play time in a Pokemon game read under 30 hours, and that's not even trying to take my time with it.

>>58386204
>See the menu screen
>10/10 game so far

>>58384645 (OP)
Theres many issues. The camera. It doesnt automatically fix itself constantly so you have to constantly press the button that does it. You have to aim at something to attack it so you have to always hold down ZL and you dont get to choose what youre aiming at so it might accidentally have u aiming at rocks or something other than what you want to attack. Dodging with your pokemon is basically impossible since you dont control them so its basically like a real time turn based game where you just pick moves. You moving around in battle is pointless.

looks like dogshit i feel my eyes melting when ever i stare at any of the stupid meshes they used too long

So are the shitmons like Ariados still pointless or does the new battle system help them out?

I tried multiple versions of Eden, Yuzu, Citron, Ryubing, latest keys on 20.5.0 and 19.1.0 with day1 patch and without - but it either freezes and crashes at Dartiri or i get some weird shader glitches that make it impossible to play. I dont understand how this shit can be even more broken than any pokemon game before

The battle system feels a little off on keyboard though that's just me partly not remembering the controls well. Tying the moves to the buttons feels kinda weird for Pokemon, but I'm sure it just needs getting used to.

I love how one of the biggest complaints of XY was that it was too hand-holdy and the friends were too overbearing and they somehow made it 10x worse here

Somebody in another thread said HMs are back wth...?!!

>>58386627
Trevor-kun... please come back...

For anyone who cant play on an emulator, play on eden until you regain control and then copy the save to tyubing/ryujinx

>>58386688
Are they mandatory or optional?

>>58387706
>>58386688
They're TMs. You can have a pokemon learn the move but it doesn't matter if it overwrites something because you can just relearn moves.
