>Same score as Scat and ToiletGFbros, it's overWhat's going to happen now?
>>744632961Just know that this retard gave it a 6.
>>744633016so any game with any difficulty automatically gets below 7 for him
>>744633143>difficulty
>>744632961SadIt looked promising
>>744633209>waaah the japanese game has j-popFuck Travis Northup.
>7/10 is now le badI pirated it a couple days ago and it's fun.
>>744632961Yep, GF's touch is inimitable
>>744632961Good. Even if the game was perfect everything gamefreak releases should be review bombed for daring to put out dogshit for their biggest franchise and printing free money from the cultists
>>744633540>7/10As if it's actually a 7/10 without Game Freak bonus, like Scat and Toilet
Palworld won
>>744633016>AI Limit 5/10what a humongous faggot
>>744632961Gamefreak ... unchained from Nintendo ...
>generic ass jrpg that's no different than any of the other generic ass jrpgs isn't doing wellShocker. You've played one JRPG you've played them all.
>>744633707>JRPGIt's a souls-like bucko
>>744633743Same statement applies, just switch JRPG with souls like
>>744633691It's not even GF, they outsourced the actual development of the game.
>>744633707>JRPGIt' discount Sekiro with FF7R slowmo abilities
>>744633016Amazing. Even when his score is correct, his reasoning for giving it is retarded.
>>744633783Direction is made by GF, outsourced studio did what Ohmori wanted and budget is from GF. Im curious to know how high it was
>>744633625ok
>>744633587Ha! I always thought the problem with gamefreak is not tight scheludes or a small budget, but that they thought they would be making handheld and mobile games forever. but since Nintendo didn't die with the wii u now they have to play catch up, developint the techniques and and technology to make shit other devs figure out 15 years ago.
>>744633529Re-read that sentence again dumb dumb, the J-pop wasn't the issue, the transition into generic battle music was
>>744633893It wont change anything. They'll go back in the pokemon mines again, with their spirit broken, doing the shittiest game they can, and sell billions
>>744633893I would hate to be a new dev at GF. Imagine trying to work with calcified old fucks who probably think 3D is a passing fad.
Honestly I find it more enjoyable than Stellar Blade, which is weird since /v/ was all over SB.
>>744633993Nah. I'm not a doomer. I honestly think each game is slighty better at something, even if they bite more than they can chew. Don't get me wrong, they are not even close to industry standard, but I do think they will get there eventually. In the meantime I hope they enjoy the humilliation ritual.
>>744634068SB gameplay was mixed on /v/, fans just liked posting asses and legs.
>>744634035Oh yeah, specially given how the hierarchy in japanese comapnies work. Imagine being a dev who actually understands 3D design but you can't say anything or else you would be disrespecting your seniors.
>>744632961>guise it's a passion project gamefreak will put effort into this one>they'll have plenty of time for this one>it's the game they always wanted to makegamefreak are genuine dogshit elevated to being a powerhouse because of one or two people that no longer have influence
>>744634068People only gives a shot about Stellar Blade because of fanservice. This shit is just Stellar Blade with out those things.
>>744633587Bap
>>744634337Funny thing about this is, for once it seems like Pokemon is the actual passion project this time with WiWa and this was just something GF wanted to try but had no real passion for. The fact this game has voice acting feels like the give-away, they ARE capable of doing do, they're just trying to find a way to put it into Pokemon this time
>>744632961Game Freak and Pokemon are so fucking trash LMFAOOOOOO
>>744634560Footjob animation when
>>744634068Stellar blade had fanservice, music, drama and nikke attached to it.This game has none of that and only the gamefreak label holding it up and is also going to be demonized by angry pokemon cultists.It's a lose-lose situation.
No Nintendo bonus. The game is fine
>>744634560
>>744634761>music>dramaThe k-pop was just okay and none of the battle songs stood out except for Raven. The story was also garbage no one actually cares about the drama. Unironically the lore was more interesting than the actual story.
>>744634784>The game is fineIt isnt >>744633209
>>744634810>drama I meant internet drama. Stellar blade is responsible for the rise of modern grifters thanks to Grumps.>The k-pop was just okay and none of the battle songs stood out except for Raven. Personal taste sure, but it had a lot of bangers like hypertube, blur, democrawler's theme, scarlet's theme, belial, and mann's theme.
>>74463301680% of his scores are correct, though.It's been months; you can drop the whole "Crimson Desert is good!" meme.
>>744633143>so any game with any difficulty automatically gets below 7 for himNonsense, Marathon is literally the only difficult game with high skill floor and skill ceiling in that picture
>>744632961Was that it? Was that their power after 30 years of fame and glory with pokemon? The second they stray from their overrated franchise they crumble?How... pitiful.
>>744632961i thought y ou guys said they only make bad games because of pokemon
>>744634919Internet drama doesn't make a game good
>>744633016>ok just looks like your typical normieslopper->AI Limit - 5he will feel my sperg wrath. there will be no fucking survivors
>>744633587JESUS that's bad kek
>>744635090Never said it was, I meant why stellar blade became viral and why /v/ talks about it a lot more compared to this game. /v/ loves talking about drama and gossip because people here are bored and don't play games.
>>744635097The guy seems to be rating games based on production value and if you rate games based off that, ai limit definitely feels like a game that had the budget of 2 packs of cheap ramen.
BUT YOU CAN PET THE DOGGO >:DDDD
>>744633587>>744632961Did they blow all their Switch money on meth and hookers? Why the fuck did they make this? They can just survive on one Pokemon game a year forever what was the point of this
>>744634761>is also going to be demonized by angry pokemon cultistsMost people genuinely don't care about it, 9 times out of 10 that "all-time 11-players peak for Little Town Hero" image pops up is because of someone getting cocky with how GF can "really put their A-game" when they're not working on a Pokemon game (and conveniently enough, not on any Nintendo system)
>>744635275They've been trying to make not-pokemans for years.https://steamdb.info/app/1183510/charts/
>>744633707>It's the jrpg subhuman mongoloidWhen are you killing yourself
>>744635326Are these money laundering schemes? How can anyone who likes games work on either of these and think what they're makign is good
>>744633143>so any game with any difficulty automatically gets below 7Marathon got 9/10, and it's the only hard game there
Banger
>>744632961It's just bootleg Sekiro, very weird and kinda boring
>>744635326>alltime peak 11 players
>>744635397Yikes.
>>744633016aside from halo 5 these are fair scores
>>744635397
It's got the same curse as wild hearts. I know /v/ likes to make fun of wuxia slop looking all samey, but japanese samurai post-apocalypse stuff is even more niche and unlike wuxia slop that has chinks always showing up to support it, not even japs do so for this because they prefer to play friendslop and stuff like apex legends instead.
Why even make this game if they weren't going to try?
>>744635507I mean, wuxia is a classic chinese setting, while "jap apocalypse" is always the same because they just can't imagine anything original other than>The vaguely futuristic but medieval at the same time setting... WITH PLANTS
Pokeon deserves a shit developer like Game Freak because of their brain dead fanbase
>>744635573The point is, they actually believe in what they do, they dont realize industry standard is light years away from their skill level
>>744632961Is dogshit I'm afraid.
>>744635624*Pokemon
Pocketpair won.
>>744635507>>744635612Wild Hearts is sort of depressing. They tried every trick in the book to get people to care about their bootleg MH, and nobody was biting. I don't even know why KT made another MH clone when they already had Toukiden
>>744633783>>744633854>GameFreak is so perpetually busy with Pokemon due to having to simultaneously develop no less than 5 games and DLCs at any given time that they can't even use their native Gear Project initiative to develop non-Pokemon titles anymore, they HAVE to outsourceKEK
>>744632961And here we have a Nintendo-coded game without a Nintendo bonus in its natural habitat
>>744633707>>744633764Damn you are one retarded nigger ape.Eat your error faggot.
>>744634560SNIFF!
>>744634935Crimson Desert is actually good, though. (sorry for the low quality)
I just want Emma animations
>>744636385wow cool, can't wait to have the exact same combat encounter with the same 2 types of enemies 500 times
>>744638787Crimson Desert has in most in-depth combat this side of God Hand.
>>744639182 (me)*the
>>744639182Who gives a crap? Good combat doesn't make a good game when the game is just the same copy pasted shit MMO quests over and over
don't wanna play a woman, sorry.
>>744633639Trvke
>>744639182We are not calling godhand in-depth
>>744639182>game has an actual fantastic DD-style combat system>90% of the enemies are fodder bandits/soldiers or reskins of bandits/soldiers>bosses are either boring, cheap, constantly teleporting knights/humanoids or horribly designed gimmicks>all the cool moves you can do all complete overkill for regular enemies and a lot of bosses are immune to the majority of themThe reason games like Sekiro or Monster Hunter work so well is because they give you deep and polished combat systems but also a great roster of enemies and bosses to fight.A good combat system without adequate stuff to fight is pointless.
>>744635507>It's got the same curse as wild hearts.did beast of reincarnation also launch with egregiously terrible performance with no advertising at a $70 pricetag when the norm for games was $60 at the time? no? then shut the fuck up retard
>>744635774They basically outsource all the development of Pokemon games now too.
T-thanks Asha-sama...
>pc98 era saturated with trash games>organize a group of your friends and make a magazine to review shitty games>eventually end up making nothing but dogshit games yourselfWhat an insane timeline for GameFreak
Das right Takeshi, soulslikes are a Chinese/Korean genre now, go back to making resident evils
>>744639182The fact we've reached a point where we have to compare new games to fucking God Hand is depressing.
>>744632961>Anti-Nintendo journalists reviewbombing Game Freak's game.Nothing new here.The industry has a vendetta against Nintendo.
>>744633143Artificially difficult games are mediocre by default, yes, shouldn't need to tell you this by now, soulstrash 30 seconds attack pattern with 0.5 ms attack window is bad design.
>>744639994Ackshully yes. It was also in gamepass. But I was referring to the aesthetics.
>>744632961Isn't the news there that scat and toilet has a high rating? 7 is extremely good for a video game.
>>744633743so...a jrpg?
>>744633016>avowed only a 7Absolute midwit.
>>744635397what about sales numbers?
>>744639182Still the combat boils down to spamming
>>744633016I agree with Avowed and TFD. Concord and Highguard are foolishly optimistic, and the more complex or difficult ones have a clear bias against them.
>>744633209>Emma as a character is largely devoid of emotion despite her harrowing circumstances; the game presents some brief justification for this, but it still amounts to a main character more akinto a brick wall than a likeable avatar for the player.>brief justification
>>744640548Get a job at Kotaku, you nu-Obsidian shill.
>>744640948>nu-ObsidianObsidian was always shit.
>>744641663New Vegas is a masterpiece in storytelling. "BuT It'S TrOoNcOrE" Trannies liking it doesn't mean it's trooncore. There are probably also trannies who like your favorite game.
So this is Gamefreak unchained... Woah...
>>744632961I was following it while it still just looked like a Wild Hearts spin-off but lost interest when I realized it's going to be little more than a Sekiro clone. Shame.Giga Wrecker was fun enough btw, at least after getting past the really dull earlygame.
>>744641871>New Vegas is a masterpiece in storytelling.funniest shit I ever read
>>744641871>Ineffectual and corrupt bureacracy vs young and vivacious comically evil mongol empire>Also Walt Disney as Ayn Rand is here with some clown tribes>Packaged in a barely functional game.Wow.
>>744633587I GET KNOCKED DOWN
>>744635275Game Freak hates the fact they're dependent of Pokémon. They want to do something else that let them be creative, since Pokémon is stagnant, but they're stuck in time.
>>744634337>>it's the game they always wanted to makeIdk who would believe this one in this case, they just let a dude that has never directed anything in gamefreak be the lead of a colaboration development that uses external funds and he was in charge of just delivering his ideas to freelancers. If there's any positive from this is that some gamefreak people might release some steam and they might scout some good freelancers for pokemon and the cycle continues.
>>744635275Don't forget GameFreak tried their damndest to shill Little Town Hero as their next big gaming franchise to the point of even dedicating an hour-long stream to it. I'd say the biggest problem with GameFreak though is their lack of advertising. Pokemon games have TPC and Nintendo backing it so it'll get marketed to hell and back on top of it own brand power putting it in the public eye. Their other games and IPs have none of that. They just make games and expect people to flock to it because 'they're the dev that made Pokemon', and seemingly don't realize that carries as much weight as Starfield being made by the people who currently develop Elder Scrolls.When was the last time a game sold well due to a developer's reputation? Even Intelligent Systems was met with reality that people only care for their Nintendo backed games when they decided to do their own IP in Project STEAM, and that game was released after they finally struck money with Fire Emblem on the 3DS.
>>744632961It's a fucking miracle GameFreak owns Pokemon because they would be literally nothing without it.Of course Beasts of Reincarnation has performance issues, no one at GameFreak can optimize to save their life and it was a miracle that the Switch 2 was powerful enough to run S/V at 60FPS.Winds and Waves looks like hot ass and it's 30FPS on Switch 2 as well, they can't do anything.
>>744643661>they would be literally nothing without itDrill Dozer wasn't too badly received, so maybe they would have had the chance to improve if they weren't stuck with Pokemon. Probably too late now though.
>>744632961Was deciding between this and Mortal Shell 2. As if the beta for the latter wasn't convincing enough...Kind of a shame though. The trailers for BoR looked really good.
>>744632961I was hoping it was actually going to be good because that would have been more funny
>>744633016So Beast of Reincarnation must be pretty shitty then
>>7446329611000 years of nonstop Pokemon mine
>>744632961>B-B-BUT MUH GRAPHIX!
>>744633783Don't mean shit. Bdsp are mostly outsourced and it still shit. Game freak is jus bad developer period
>>744633587boop of reincarnation
>"dude, this is GF unchained, they're gonna kick asses and chew bubblegums without nintendo on their backs">"this is gonna smoke pokemon out of the freaking water"It's almost like the entirety of TPC was the problem along and they are all incompetent when it comes to pokemon games?
>>744641871>my favorite game is the tranny onelol what a faggot
>>744644092Masuda forced a really awful artstyle on it. ILCA actually delivered a good game considering that it was just a copy paste of the old code. What killed BDSP for most was just the artstyle.
>>744644198Game Freak makes Pokemon games, sets their budgets and timelines, and refuses help so it's all on them, not TPC.
>>744644198Then how come Pokemon games not made by Game Freak are all better?
>>744633209>the game explains her character, but I don’t like it so it doesn’t countBruh
>>744644474>all
Game that looks like the most average slop outsorced unreal engine 5 game plays like a slop outsorced unreal engine 5 game...oh wow
>>744635397>AAAIs it really AAA because I don't think they've spent more than AA budget here.
>>744644430TPC is mostly under the control by Nintendo. GF only controls the technical side where as all the schedule and shit is by TPC/Nintendo. Nintendo wants them to hire more people to meet the deadline they've set but GF doesn't because they are well aware the game doesn't matter, only the art, design and merch does.
>>744644621Okay, you got me. But there's more good Pokemon games not made by Game Freak, than ones made by Game Freak.
Game Freak has always been the problem.
>>744632961Gamefreak is such a strange company, it's clear they don't have any passion for Pokemon and want to be more independent from Nintendo but they're also talentless hacks who can't make anything successful without the Pokemon IP. We know from the leaks that Nintendo has offered getting 3rd parties to help them develop Pokemon games but they have vehemently refused likely because they don't want to get shown up. I pray that one day they lose the Pokemon IP.
>>744632961>there were people hopeful for this game>they thought this game was going to invent a new genrethe fuck is wrong with people
>>744634337The last>passion projectgame freak put out was Little Town Hero, which was almost entirely unplayable
They finally have no choice but to make Drill Dozer 2 to save them.
>>744643549And most of that hour-long stream was trying to explain the combat systemTrying to, anyway.
So whats actually wrong with it. Im not going to IGN
>>744650378It's yet another Sekiro clone that offers nothing new, interesting or challenging in exchange for your time.It doesn't take any risks or try and have itself stand out from many other games you could otherwise play at any one time.Basically the Avowed problem.
So can someone explain why everyone is dogpiling on this game so hard cause functionally it looks the same to me as Sekiro, Elden Ring and all the other 1button slop journos consider to be 10/10.What makes this game a 6/10 compared to those? Lack of marketing and brand power?
>>744650378Jank, lots of it, cameras getting stuck in the ground, enemies bugging out, barebones combat, shit's blurry maxed on a 5090, vast maps full of nothing, models stand still while talking and are unexpressive, an overall feeling of soullessness that can't be shaken off, but all that could be forgiven if the combat was good, and it isn't, it feels like out of a modern gacha but somehow less responsive, I pre-ordered this game btw, I'm actually annoyed at how mid it turned out
