>2+ years of people calling pokemon SV a bad/lazy game>switch 2 comes out>SV actually plays perfectly smooth when played on more modern hardware>yfw you realize SV wasn't a buggy mess but actually a powerful game way ahead of its time
>>58282384Yep. Chad Freak is being held back by Nintendo’s shitty hardware.
It's neither. It's mid
if I had a penny every time a frogposter sucked game freak's dick I'd be a millionaire.
>>58282384and yet there are more ambitious games on the Switch 1 that run better than SV, so no, that doesn't hold up. GF needed more advanced hardware to do something less impressive than what other devs could do on weaker hardware.
>>58282384>You need a modern console to play an N64-tier gameGF is trash, accept it
>>58282415>>58282425>>58282433>>58282438f*ck y'all
>>58282384I loved SV since the beginning, so I always knew it was a great game severely crippled by performance issues and bad graphics. It's still GFs fault for having such a shitty engine and still being rather amateurish when it comes to 3D game dev stuff.
>>58282384SV is a dogshit game even at 60 fps
>>58282433This. Game Freak cannot optimize to save their lives and their spaghetti code will always hold them back. >>58282388 only looks good thanks to the backing and support of their publisher as well as likely not using the shitty proprietary engine for Pokemon that they've been using for yonks.The Switch is shit and the Switch 2 is still underpowered all things considered, but there's no excuse for SV running the way they did on the original hardware no matter how much one may cope.It's the difference between games that are lovingly crafted and Game Freak's borderline cynical development schedule that prioritizes brand cohesion and synergy to maximize sales profits of the anime, TCG, manga and merch over actually giving their devs time to cook. Look at fucking DK Bananza or Metroid Prime 4 which spent the better part of a decade being worked on. I'd rather pay the premium and get something that I'll enjoy playing and the devs put their hearts into than what GF have to show for themselves.
>>58282384Game still looks like pure ass though, shouldn't the upgrade have made the textures look nicer?
>>58282604no?
>>58282384It does really suck that it couldn’t be released to its full potential. I think it could have run fine on Switch 1 if they gave it more time, which upsets me because I generally like the games and I think they have so much potential. But SV is almost over now and it really hasn’t had very much time to catch up and get people really attached since the switch 2 dropped just a little earlier this year. I really hope gamefreak takes notes on this because I genuinely think SV are great despite their flaws, but they could be so much better. I could be wrong but I think they have already taken a few notes. Legends Z-A, while it doesn’t look the best (at least to some people, I actually personally like the art style, I just wish the textures were better), looks miles better than SV and I could be proven wrong in the future, but if it performs anything like it did in the initial trailers before the switch 2 reveal, I think the game will run great on switch 1. Here’s to hoping.One last thing, I’ll never fall for the notion that they are lazy and put no effort into their games because I’ve seen the beta builds from the Teraleak, they had some major ambitions and it looked like they genuinely wanted to make something great but couldn’t. Really hoping who’s ever is in charge starts giving them more time because they could make some undeniably outstanding games. I’m not a really negative person but I wanted to share this.
>>582824385pbp gayfuck has billions of dollars at its disposal yet it cant make a game that runs on a console that can run shitloads of other more demanding games, no excuses
>>58282443
>>58282884okay
>>58282384congratulations, you finally got the gameplay experience of someone playing it on an emulator with mods at launch
>>58282384It still has bugs on the Switch 2. Also, if you've developing a game for a SINGLE PIECE OF HARDWARE then you have no excuse for it not to run at full resolution (720p handheld and 1080p docked) and 60fps at all times. If the game is laggy, it's not the hardware's fault, it's yours for putting too much in. As we see with countless other Nintendo games (Smash, Mario Kart) it's possible to hit these benchmarks as long as you control the graphical fidelity. Game Freak was just lazy and made too many high fidelity models and didn't bother simplifying them.
>>58282604That would cause it to lag again.
>>58282384SV was always a great Pokémon game at its core. People who played it knew that, all the people calling it bad or reviewbombing it never actually played it and just judged it by the videos of glitches circulating on twitter and reddit
