ITT: Games that finally made you realize your sunken cost fallacy for a series you used to love.

>>739312878Trails through the Horizon
>>739312878Sorry you can't enjoy Lumiose city
>>739312878You should've realized that like 10 games ago
>>739313561Lumiose City was executed better in its original form in X/Y you inbred mouthbreather
I don't understand the Pokéfag obsession with buying every Pokémon game, this one was an obvious, heavily-telegraphed stinker.
>>739316072They enjoy being a pokemon fan, not the actual games, the games suck ass. To remain plug in to the alternate reality simulacrum you need to update to the newest version.
What’s most hated, BOTW or Pokemon Z-A?
>>739312878pokemon ZA was my favorite pokemon game however
>>739316289BOTW got overshadowed by TOTKZ-A was always going to be bad
>>739316072TPCI leans hard on the FOMO aspect with limited time exclusive pokemon gated behind specific games and the like
>>739316289BOTW was the zelda game all zelda games tried to be and were working towards. it's the best zelda game ever made.
>>739312878For me, it was Sword and Shield
>>739316289imagine thinking they're comparable in any way
honestly, are there even any series other than pokemon that could achieve this? most of the time when a studio releases a bad game it flops and the series dies, it's just pokemon that has this cult that will buy every game no matter how awful it is
Most regretful $70 ever
>>739312878What’s this game’s controversy exactly? I stopped following news as much about this series after Scarlet and Violet.
>>739316672that its models are low quality, its battle system is uninspired, and it has significantly less content than nearly every other game in the series
>>739313561What is he gonna do with that lovely Chikorita?
>>739312878Game costs $45 and I was given a Switch 2. Is it worth it with the price drop or is it not even worth the price of a 3DS game?
>>739320045Arceus is the superior Legends game. They both feel early access tier in terms of presentation
>>739320220I have Arceus. Don't really see much of a point in getting this game. I thought XY were okay games but this seems to have nothing I liked about XY outside of the decent starter designs.
>>739316672honestly its all just bait. anyone who stuck through sword/shield and scarlet/violet would be insane to complain about ZA. ZA has its flaws, its battle focused to a fault. and nothing stops you from cheesing the entire game by overleveling, But none of the complaints make sense if framed from the standpoint of a long time pokemon fan.
>>739316672They took everything that went right with Legends Arceus (focus on catching, snappy movement, enhancing a previous region's lore) and messed it up do some quasi-mainline/Legends combination game that didn't work in the end.
>>739320802The worst part about Scarlet Violet is that without the graphical fuck ups it's actually a decent game. Well, the post game anyways.
>>739320802i mean, that's why the thread is "finally realizing you've been falling for the sunk cost fallacy"people will rationalize away a bad game once, twice, umpteen times. but at some point there's a moment of revelation and you look at the game and ask yourself why the fuck are you still here
>>739312878this game was good tho
>>739321126I KNOWits true what they say. Always do the opposite of what /v/ tells you to do.
>>739320802i didnt particularly like PLA as it is buggy as fuck and feels ass to play, but the different pace of gameplay and focus is unique enough that someone who has lost interest in the mainline games could find some hope in the legends seriesexcept ZA shows that legends has no theme or standard, its just the "gamefreak needs a game out and they dont want to spend money" spinoff now
>>739316636it still hurts, holy shit
>>739321091I mean sure, if after sticking through a series OP realized he just didn't like X-genre or something. I don't consider myself a pokemon fan, I like the setting and have the mandatory gen 1 nostalgia but hadn't actually played the series since XY, I got ZA on a whim and it was a lot of fun. There are lots of valid things to complain about, but I can't take these threads seriously because they just don't come across as genuine.
>>739320802
>>739321476you literally just had the nostalgia experience, you would have enjoyed literally anything pokemon equally as much if not more
>>739316817The pokemon models look good only the building textures look kinda bad altho i did play the s2 version maybe that makes a difference, I personally like the different battle system it has all the things I like from the mainline except for abilities but it adds a positioning and time element, it does have less content.
>>739316289>What’s most hated, the most acclaimed Zelda game since OOT or the worst mainline PokemonTry spending less time on /v/, holy fucking retard
>>739321603the pokemon models look good compared to past pokemon models. they look bad compared with models from other AAA games and all of the pokemon sprites
>>739312878Scarlet/Violet was the last Pokemon game I'll ever buy at launch. Utterly abysmal game.
>>739321526And this is the other half of why the threads don't feel genuine. sure there is a guy out there who thinks every single pokemon game is bad. Why is he in the thread? Could he not tell it was a pokemon thread from the OP. Why does he care? Is he genuinely interacting with the fans, or is he yet another person just baiting because modern internet has brainwashed him into seeking engagement.
>>739321526Nintendo games in general are overhyped since the Switch. Odyssey might be the only fleshed out first party title in there. I guess Animal Crossing is also fine for a cozy game but cleaning up sucks compared to other cozy games.
>>739316072Yeah I knew the game was going to be mediocre because it was only selling itself off the new megas. I thought people were going to have to buy it to get the new mega stones in Champions, but Champions already has a lot of them, only two very good megas are ZA exclusive. ZA is Pokemon's most skippable entry, who even cares about Kalos.
>>739316289>>739316386TOTK is way worse than BOTW and I don't even think BOTW was good. It was so mediocre that nobody even talks about TOTK where BOTW at least doesn't make movement a hassle and was a trendsetter.
>>739321526This.
>>739322009>nobody even talks about TOTKit gets daily threads and has a slew of video essay grifts
>>739321767like what? I've seen alot of high profile games that end up looking horrendous due to the artstyle like bg3. and as far as i know there aren't many AAA games that end up making good models for the monsters like some of the hero monsters of dota2 look good but they really don't look much better imo.
>>739323142This board is mostly bots. I'm talking about actual humans. Most people don't even remember Tears of the Kingdom exists.
>>739321621>hating /v/If you don’t like it here, close the tab.
>>739323363a little on the nose there. At least try to make the bait believable.
>>739323408Nice reading comprehension, brownoid
