I’ve seen the game streamed and the problems in the game run much deeper than mediocre graphics or frame rates. People didn’t base their opinions on the first route. People who have finished the game have shared similar sentiments. This is a pretty dismissive way to talk about people who have legitimate grievances with the priorities of this game, the constraints of its development, and the developers’ refusal to address the fans’ concerns in a meaningful way.
People want better and know the series has been better in the past.
I mean, I
did say they were my first impressions. If things turn out poorly later, I’ll make note of it.
I also
never said people couldn’t “expect more” out of the games, but it also seems as though folks in the community don’t
want to have positives considered with the game. As in, if something is cool, like the Wild area, or if somebody thinks it’s cool, it turns into, “Well you just have
simple tastes, instead of wanting the most
pristine of wishlists”. That kind of attitude gets irritating.
I don’t even think the games are perfect. I already stated that the lack of voice acting feels weird (and that, to me, is a natural next step for the series), and that Nat Dex is something I will miss. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if I’m more miffed about it later when I want the more competitive elements.
I think the thing I’m struggling with is the
extremes of negativity. It some parts of the internet, you get shamed for wanting to buy the game. You get shamed for thinking something in Sword & Shield is
good, or, dare I say, a step in the right direction.
Media is hit all the time with throwing the baby out with the bath water. Sword & Shield is just one game in a collection of many. While there are things that
could make Sword & Shield perfect as a Pokémon game, it still has qualities that make it a good, fun game in its own right. It can be appreciated despite its flaws.
But that’s me.
no one to blame but yourself if you truly doubt me
