Those who are playing the game, how would you rate it so far? I'm still on the fence
9/10
>>58384656Swagalicois. The soundtrack is getting me hyped to buy the game. I'll probably preload it when the metacritic scores come out.How is the combat?
>>58384645i'd say it's a perfect 10/10 and i say that as someone who has hated every single pokemon game since let's goit's fun, the change in battle style makes the game so much more engagingnow i'll just wait for a good emulator version that can play the game with minimal visual glitches, and pkhex
>>58384876Would you say the combat is better than the regular battle format or is it too early to say?
>>583846458/10
9/10Much better than PLA
legends arceus was one of my fav pokemon games, this one is as good if not slightly better, just a shame there doesnt seem to be any flying/less movement options
>>58385052For realAll they need to do is take the ridemons mechanic from LGPE and put it in a "real" game and I'd coom galaxiesThe pokemon call of the wild shitposts would become true
>Anons calling it a 9/10 when the rom has been out for a couple hours
>>58385307If the game is 20 hours that means some anons are about 1/4ths through the game now
>>58385307>how would you rate it so far? >so far
>>58384957definitely betterlike i said, it's engaging instead of hitting a button and waiting for the same boring text play over the screennow you actually get to enjoy battles, plus it's not as easy as it looksgetting good with the move timings will take practice
i haven't played it yet but it's clearly a 10/10, the new megas are so cool and i love the soulslite battle system
>>58385407>2 hours of a game is 10/10
>>58385645yes, it means the game convinced players that it's great in just 2 hours
>>58384645Fun.
>>58385683>Zero chance to explore the game>Zero chance to see the story unfold>Zero chance to see how deep the mechanics go>10/10 perfect game
>>58384645great
Wow. This sure is organic and normal interaction between people.
WHEN DOES THE FUCKING TUTORIAL ENDAAAAAAAAAAA FUCK OFF CUNT LET ME COLLECT THOSE ITEMS I CAN CLEARLY SEE
>>58384645About the 6-7/10 or so you might expect I thinkAlthough holy fuck get me OUT of this tutorial. They make you pass by a cluster of shops and you're not allowed to go check them out because player you have to go do story first!! Though I've also stalled for like 30 minutes because I wanted a male espurr but only two spawn at a time and they seem to be on a set respawn timer, the catch rate isn't high and they run away and disappear IMMEDIATELY. You have to be ON that shit
10/10 i think jaded players will be surprised, the battling is great and the story is really touching so far. these first 45 minutes have been great, can't wait to see what's in store
How does the catching mechanic compare to PLA? Can you still sneak, throw berries etc?
maybe 9.5/10, the battles are a bit too hard for my blood
Can anyone playing this on Switch tell me how it runs?>>58385857Is it really that bad?
>>58386112im playing on release switch and it runs fine, some of the cutscenes/scenery looks a bit jank at the lower resolution and the frame rate sometimes stutters for half a second when entering a new zone/ something big loads but not bothering me too muchthe fucking tutorial is horrendous though, like a solid hour + of being led aroundthankfully just got to the detective agency and got some sidequests and seem to be free to roam around now
whoa people, slow it down. 10/10 after like an hour or so of play? LOL. my local store actually leaked the game yesterday and ive played maybe 6 hours? so it's not that i disagree per se the game is clearly fantastic and 10/10 but come on guys, get a bit further in before making a claim like this. and its clearly not for everyone anyway. if you have a shred of taste or self respect you might not like it
I'm a little surprised the NPCs seem to have slight variations aside just the race onesBlonde Hex must be somewhere
>>58386056no berries, can sneak, no bootyshotscan knock out a pokemon in battle and have a second or two to catch it which seems to be 100% catch rate so far, not failed once>>58386158compared to semen and vomit this is 1000/10
>>58386170Aren't bootyshots in? I did it to the tutorial Fletchling by sneaking around it.
>>58385721>SO FARStop being a retard
>I haven't been a fan since ____, but....>It's the most fun I've had with Pokemon since ____Every fucking time, I swear
>>58386148>solid hour +Fuck man. I know this is a completely new gameplay loop as far as Pokémon goes so they have to teach even the dumbest child how shit works, but at least add an "skip tutorial" option for the non-braindeads.
>>58386191oh maybe I'm wrong, I hadn't noticed anything different hitting front vs back
>>58384645The only reason I was on the fence was for potentially dogshit performance on Switch, but after playing it a bit today, it seems like it'll be fine.
>>58385337>20 hoursThis number comes from where exactly?
>>58386269Pokemon games are typically around 20-25 hours
>>58386322I cannot remember the last time my play time in a Pokemon game read under 30 hours, and that's not even trying to take my time with it.
>>58386204>See the menu screen>10/10 game so far
>>58384645Theres many issues. The camera. It doesnt automatically fix itself constantly so you have to constantly press the button that does it. You have to aim at something to attack it so you have to always hold down ZL and you dont get to choose what youre aiming at so it might accidentally have u aiming at rocks or something other than what you want to attack. Dodging with your pokemon is basically impossible since you dont control them so its basically like a real time turn based game where you just pick moves. You moving around in battle is pointless.
looks like dogshit i feel my eyes melting when ever i stare at any of the stupid meshes they used too long
So are the shitmons like Ariados still pointless or does the new battle system help them out?
I tried multiple versions of Eden, Yuzu, Citron, Ryubing, latest keys on 20.5.0 and 19.1.0 with day1 patch and without - but it either freezes and crashes at Dartiri or i get some weird shader glitches that make it impossible to play. I dont understand how this shit can be even more broken than any pokemon game before
The battle system feels a little off on keyboard though that's just me partly not remembering the controls well. Tying the moves to the buttons feels kinda weird for Pokemon, but I'm sure it just needs getting used to.
I love how one of the biggest complaints of XY was that it was too hand-holdy and the friends were too overbearing and they somehow made it 10x worse here
Somebody in another thread said HMs are back wth...?!!
>>58386627Trevor-kun... please come back...
For anyone who cant play on an emulator, play on eden until you regain control and then copy the save to tyubing/ryujinx
>>58386688Are they mandatory or optional?
>>58387706>>58386688They're TMs. You can have a pokemon learn the move but it doesn't matter if it overwrites something because you can just relearn moves.
