Pokemon Legends: Z-A is a FLOP.
>>723238643>Previews claim the game is mid>Still gets 81And people think review score inflation isn't real
Still better than mainline
>>723238643It was 86 like 5 minutes ago.It will keep going down?
>>723238717It's a problem since the start of gaming journalism.Average is a 7.5 not a 5. 8 is barely good.Gauss is a joke for them.
>>723238643Higher score than the latest Digimon game after all that noise was made, embarrassing
>>723238643Should I wait for the next real pokemon or are legends games worth playing?
>>723239084
>>723238643>and this is the Switch 2 version
>>723239530this one doesn't play exactly the same as Arceus so saying "if you liked Arceus you would like this one" may not apply
>>723239530>Should I wait for the next real pokemonIt will be AI generated slop, confirmed by leaks>are legends games worth playing?Still slop
>>72323908470 broswe are back
>>723240013Try answering without using buzzwords. They make you sound mad.
>>723240162Nice projection Joe, looks like you were mad enough to reply
>>723240013Procedurally generated you retard. Like Minecraft, the most popular videogame of all time.
>>723238643Isn't that the highest Pokemon has gotten in a while?
>>723240265Not the anon, but what are you on about? Elaborate on how it's ai generated slop?He's right, you just sound mad. Like I'd assume you just saw shit you didn't like and immediately started calling it ai slop due to high levels of malding lul
>>723238643So it's already ten points higher than the average modern Pokemon experience, only slightly below Arceus.I'd say that's pretty good!
No Serena. No buy.
>>723238717Game review scores are like Richter scale numbers.
>>723240458SV were garbage but there's no way anyone thought PLA was any less garbage. I refuse to believe it.
so without the paid shill bonus and nintendo bonus the real score is about 60/100thats a little higher than what i would give it
>>723240458As if these scores respect the actual quality of these garbage games
Sounds good, no Pokémon game has ever been worth more than an 8/10.t. fan since gen 1
>>723238643Holy shit. That’s rough.
For the past few big games there was always one retarded outlet that accidentally put 1.0/10 instead of 10/10 are you sure they’re not dragging the score down again?
We back to pretending game reviewer scores matter?
>>723241381Everybody cares about them either way though. When any other Nintendo game is highly rated, people are vocal about it. Can’t back away now
ZA should be good because there’s parts of the city that genuinely look really good(I’ll post screenshots if you want) once you look past the flat patios and buildings. It’s neat seeing random townspeople with there Pokémon or saying some random thing, so it FEELS like a lived in metropolis. But then there’s just mega crystal patches thrown around everywhere and random girder obstacle courses that I’m still not even sure why they’re there, and it’s just jarring. The wild zones are unfathomably trash. It’s like if they took the wild areas from sword/shield and made them as brainless and safe as possible. Do you like searching grass for wild Pokémon? Well you only encounter Pokémon once, and after your first visit there’s no reason to ever go back. You have a better time encountering Pokémon on random rooftops which half the time you’d be wondering “how or why are you even up here?”. Oh but OOPS that one Pokémon you wanted to catch escaped its ball and ran off, get fucked it doesn’t come back even if you reset. The tournament could be like a giant pvp area at night but no, it’s just a really restricted corridor of trainers
Does eric like pokemon?
>>723238643>Terrible looking kiddie fodder is terribleWho could've guessed>Will still sell millions because Millennials haven't moved on from their childhoodWho could've guessed
>>723242812>81 is bad nowdamn this board is mindbroken
>>723242415
>>723242910its a fake score, no one believes this game is an 8/10. they didnt even make real windows.
>>723243131What does that have to do with the gameplay?
>>723243394funny you should ask, the gameplay is even worse than fake windows. any other nintendo worshiping catch phrase you want to post next? perhaps the 8/10 is because its "comfy"?
>>723242910This. Every game that’s an 8 or higher is great and us gamers are eatin’ good. As such, the 2020s is by far the best era for video games. I hereby ask that all hate threads and doomer threads get removed for spreading misinformation. All AAA games released this gen are good. Games are all good. We like them. We will buy and have fun.
>>723243489>the gameplay is even worse than fake windowsAccording to whom?
>>723243913me, i played it. its the worst gameplay and graphics in the series so far.
>>723238643>Gets 81, a good score>Calls it a flop still
>>723244072It’s not good compared to other Nintendo exclusives though
>>723238643That's a 61 without the Nintendo bonus and a 41 without the Nintendoeras giving this shit a perfect score.
>>723242910The bulk of the Assassin's Creed franchise has scored above 80. That shit has been dogass since Black Flag at the absolute earliest. Not a single mainline Borderlands has scored below 80. Call of Duty is also a frequent member of the 80 club. The Outer Worlds scored an 85 and that sucks donkey dick.
>>723238643>Pokemon Legends: Z-A is a FLOP.They only need to sell ~130,000 copies to break even. No, I didn't forget a zero. 130k. This is like a reverse-Concord.
>>723242910>81 with the 10 point Nintendo bonusYeah that's bad
>>723238717nintendia bonus is a thing that ninjeets shamelessly boast about
>>723238643>sell a gorillion copiesWhat will /v/ do when this piece of shit game sells like crazy (AGAIN)?
to be fair 81 is a really good score for Pokemon
>>723244974>What will /v/ doPlay the game, dah
>NINTENDO LIFE gave it a 7 >all reviews on superior hardware (switch 2)HOLY KEK
>>723245126>>NINTENDO LIFE gave it a 7nah Nintendo life is a shithole filled with literal faggots who don’t play games. They lost all their authority in the past two years
>>723244998no its not, every other modern turd pokemon game has gotten 70s and 80s when they actually deserve 40s or 50s. they are legitimately as bad as early access steam games that sell for $5
>>723238643How so? By what metric?
>>723238643>81And that's too high for what the game is.
>>723238643Another shitch2 shart. What a wet fart of a console.
>>723238643What matters is how it sells and it's going to sell a fuckton.
How the fuck did anyone give this game a 10/10? The graphics and environments alone are dogshit, even for the hardware, it's literally impossible to be 10/10.
>dae le dogshit?!?!
>>723245841It’s not even a switch 2 exclusive either though. It’s cross gen
>>723245606>shithole is when not worshipping nintendo
>>723244072Numbers are numbers
>>723238643Even the lowest reviews say its a really fun game and even the best 3d one. They're just shitting on the looks(deserved)
>>723247018well they are wrong, its the worst one
>champion equivalent is a unhinged freak with the best yet.https://youtu.be/717PJmvzVkA?si=YKy49LUo5a-38FGz
>>723247018I have palyed it, and it's the worst since Switch release.
>>723238643Without the Nintendo bonus its a 71
>>723240335Legends Arceus had an 83, ita worse than that
>>723240458Pokemon games used to get 85+ scores the franchise is the definition of Mid now
>>723242812My alpha niece and nephew played Scarlet and Violet and my millennial ass has never touched them. I think you underestimate how many players of modern Pokemon are still kids like always.
