That sad
sony bragging about selling 5kk in a week...lol
This is 2 games so it's the same. 5 millions eachIt absolutely destroyed God of War Ragnarok, selling twice as much in 2 days less.
To surprise of no one.
See you in the next 2 years, when they outsold themselves by doing nothing again.
Got the dual pack for the kids myself.I bought 2 copies. Been having a blast with the game.
So creating a completely open world where you could feasibly do the content in any order you like, having everything be completely 3D, nearly 100+ new pokemon with new animations for returning mon, new features such as picnics and titan battles, having *any* pokemon in the game follow you whenever you want and can freely battle instantly outside of traditional battles, numerous QoL features such as the ability to access the box from anywhere, remembering moves anywhere, and changing nicknames whenever you like (all things requested for years by the fanbase), this is all doing nothing?
GameFreak deserves a lot of criticism for the continuous poor technical quality of their games and the complete lack of QA they have clearly shown, especially here. The poor framerate, low texture quality - all things that desperately and definitely need to be fixed.
But trying to suggest that they are doing *nothing* is a bit silly and just pure hyperbole.
He's been known for being absolutely insufferable in Pokemon/Nintendo threads for a good decade or more now, as far back as SEGA Forums even existed. You can tell who actually plays these games and who looks from the outside and comes up with whatever bullshit can come to their mind at a glance.
Anyway, it speaks volumes if GF is at the point the worst that can be said about this game is the tech involved. I think they've otherwise finally nailed what a Pokemon RPG should be on a home console, but they could definitely use a more proficient support studio to overhaul their turd of an engine.
Visuals are the least of the games problem. The direction they’ve taken of evolving Arceus is great.Looks the same as Arceus, and I thought people loved that one? An exciting new direction for the franchise, they said.
No, I an simply part of team fun games. Whether it is Astrobot on Playstation, Grounded on Xbox, Age of Empires on PC, or pokemon on Nintendo.
Fun games are simply fun games.
Seeing his post history, I am none too surprised. There comes a point of being a fan annoyed/rightfully frustrated at poor decisions and then someone who systematically complains about anything and everything a company does for years.
Also agreed. This could have been the single greatest pokemon game of all time if it wasn’t for those performance and texture issues. Pretty much has what fans have been asking for for years.
At this point is the audience of FIFA, CoD and Pokémon really different? People buy that one game a year no matter what and continue to play for the whole year till new iteration comes out.
Pretty fuckin nuts to think that GoW @ 5.1m in a week is Sony’s best ever selling game and Game Freak can just shit out a poo and it sells 10m in 3 days. Never before has it been laid out so plainly that Nintendo are on their own planet.

It’s performance that’s the problem. Characters/Pokemon/objects moving at 2fps, shadows/characters popping in and out from a distance of 1 meter, the game doesn’t even remember what Pokemon pops in and out so you can walk until they pop out and walk back and they won’t pop back in.. Not to mention all the bugs (which are pretty funny):
Edit: just noticed you can even see the 2fps windmill in action in the background of the .gif

It's just idiots who haven't played it parroting a narrative from their favourite influencers.

Fuck my life basically.Imagine you are the developer of the new zelda, you do everything to make the game look as good as possible, work well on the switch. You get up in the morning and read that the new Pokémon looking like a PS2 game and running worse than Cyberpunk on the original Xbox One sells 10 million copies in 3 days.
And already you are sick of it, fed up with the world and commit seppuku. The cruel world has taken away hope for a better tomorrow.
I can tell you %99 of developer including the ones in Game Freak would love to have the perfect tech for their game, all the time in the world to develop, etc.Imagine you are the developer of the new zelda, you do everything to make the game look as good as possible, work well on the switch.

Pokémon are the epitome of cute (and cool - at least to many children). No one has come even close to matching that. Yokai Watch, perhaps.
While the performace (and therefore the quality of the graphics - not the style) in Scarlet and Violet are pretty bad and the bugs bad, it's still 95% playable and the best Pokémon game to date in terms of making you feel like you're there.
What do you mean like making us feel like we're there? Is this a statement on open world games vs linear?
And from this day on, we will be known as ‘Blue Squirrels’.amen brother.
santa monica even tried to introduce a rodent to tap in to that market but no dice.

Dude, open world is nothing new. I ain't gonna praise or tell this is something when theres not only miles better open worlds out there and neither what they did are a feat. Its just like praising gamefreak for finally creating a round tire in 2022. Go play Dragon Quest XI and spare me the talk about models.
Its not hyperbole. If you think just making a barebone openworld and tackle pokemon on it its something, thats on you.
Not happening.And from this day on, we will be known as ‘Blue Squirrels’.
It's new for pokemon. Saying that they did no work would imply that they just copied and pasted Sword and Shield and slapped a new name on it, like a new Fifa game. Creating an open world from scratch is difficult, doesn't matter how many other games have done it.Dude, open world is nothing new.

'Not new' does not in this context mean that a lot of work doesn't have to be put into it. Surely you can understand that.
And for Pokémon it is new, and something many fans have been pining for for over two decades.
Anyway, none of this Nobel Prize winning stuff. It's entertainment, so give it a break.
Most fans want a proper Pokemon MMO game with all the regions and Pokemon separated by region, a Mega game if you willYes, especially with Pokémon.
Sure you can't deny that many people's dreams are to be able to walk around a world with Pokémon just there? I think that desire is so strong, that people are willing to put up with an awful lot of shit to experience it.
