Thread 58439674

Is the new meta for pokefags to just pretend that their games being unfinished shovelware is part of its quirky charm?

bro you being on this board makes you a bigger pokefag than most of the people playing these games, they just play it and move on

This game is way more finished than Scarlet.
I played Scarlet and this game and this is clearly running on the same engine as Scarlet and borrowing at least 50% of its code from Scarlet, but this game is a much more polished game than it because they had more time to perfect the code by now. I've barely encountered many bugs yet actually. The characters are really soulless though and the map is really small thoever. Lol.

what pokémon can you find in there

Bethesda wishes they can shit games out as often as Pokemon
Pokemon fans wish Game Freak will rerelease the same fucking game on the latest systems

>>58439674 (OP)
It is tho

Dunno, have the manchildren established a new meta or is it the tired old one of "let's ignore these games are made for kids to cry like toddlers over graphics"?

Honestly, I feel like vomiting when I remember I spent 70 dollars on this.

I am so fucking embarrassed. I have bought 5 dollars games that were better.

It doesn't matter how much you polish a turd, it won't turn into a gem.

If this is the best Gamefreak gets, then Gamefreak should quit.

I am not being inflamatory, I hate that. This is my honest thought. Either their heart is not in it, or they can't do better. Both alternatives are dark.

>>58439701
Bethesda is the closest thing to Gamefreak, but they are still in a much better shape. Skyrim was a complete experience when it shipped, Starfield was also complete. Same to Fallout 4. These were not good games, but they tried to give the player what was promissed. They did deliver that to some extent.

But Gamefreak does not deliver us the ultimate new way to have Pokémon battles. It is a far poorer game than everything that came before, and it does not strike a middle between Legends Arceus and Scarlet & Violet.

If I had to explain Z-A, I'd say it is the videogame incarnation of 'sunken cost fallacy'.

I was bored after 20 minutes, and the entire game feels like a long tutorial for what is a baby difficulty game.

>>58439674 (OP)
no its how you cope with the series being shit and continuing to be low effort shit for the foreseeable future. you just laugh at how awful it is, just like with scarlet/violet, until the reputation for being so awful is impossible to ignore

Worked out well enough for bethesda

>>58440012
Bethesda's secret is that they let the fans finish the games for them. It's a critical component.

>>58440030
I'd guess there are two more important things:
1. Have a pretty cool setting that many would like to be in for a few sessions
2. Have endless free advertising because le funny bees destroy the intro

>>58439674 (OP)
That’s them emulating it on their shitpooter

>it's the pokefags fault the games aren't working properly on emulators

sad. if they didn't divide their attention between 2 hollow games, we could have had a single decent one

>>58439674 (OP)
Pokefags will eat the slop that's given to them & ""enjoy"" & they'll look forward to more this is what they deserve.

Both, Yuzu and Ryujinx forks have vertex explosions. It has nothing to do with the hardware and everything to do with poor emulator code.
Yuzu forks' have much poorer code than Ryujinx forks though. The vertex explosions are far less present in those.

>>58439674 (OP)
it's all nintendofags these days
it's a cult
they don't really care if the games are shit, overpriced, halfassed/unfinished, buggy
they just play it to fit in with their equally deranged cultist friends and harass anyone who has even the smallest teensy tiny 99% positive 1% negative criticism of the product
scarlet violet selling that much should have already told you that

>>58440196
Based pirate!

>>58440196
That's obvious from the screenshot. I'm sure there's been some people being disingenuous, but pretty much everyone I know that's posted images of spaghetti models, fucked up textures or even falling through the map have been quite honest with the fact they're playing emulated.

Now dipshits believing that's how the actual game runs can't be stopped, but most of them WANT the game to be unfinished.

>>58439674 (OP)
>new
This has been the norm since SM
>when the game they like has bugs
Oh wow these bugs are so funny hehe
>when the game they don't like has bugs
TERRIBLE DEVS TRASH GAME

>>58442448
People seriously exaggerate shit though. 90% of the bugs people were sperging about when SV was new was from the online mode and you wouldn't encounter them during normal play, which doesn't make it okay but it becomes pretty obvious most of the people screaming about them have never even touched the games.

Pokemon games have real problems that are worth complaining about but all you ever hear about are graphics and bugs. Hey guess what? Even if they addressed those things the games would still be bad because those are only surface level shit.

>>58442685
You can tell what people care more about when SWSH is considered underrated when the only good thing about it was it didn't have major glitches, while people finally noticed the decline in Pokemon only when SV released, which was much better in every other regard over SWSH, but because it had visual bugs, people treat it as the anti christ when 8 or 6 deserve that label.

>>58439694
Ironically, Scarlet and Violet had way better techniques to render and save performance, such as loading only what's in front of the player currently on screen. Z-A can't do that because the entire model is a single piece. Z-A's performance thrives only because they flattened all buildings and it's considerably smaller than Paldea.

>>58442772
SV did have an issue where it loaded in a cone in front of the player, yes, but the cone extended to the other side the map so any time someone looked toward the centre, performance dropped.

>>58441168
yeah but then theyd make half as much money retard

>>58442685
Not true at all. My game often glitched when I wasn't online

>>58439674 (OP)
Actually, the textures ARE loaded. It's the geometry they are applied to that is broken in this case.

>>58440196
>PL:ZA can already be emulated
Thank God & Jesus, maybe also Muhhammad too as well…

were you in a coma the last several days?
