Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon won.

So what does this makes PLZA
>>
MOGGED
>>
>>58428944
its zover
>>
>>58428961
PLZA was supposed to be the good one since they spent a lot of time developing it and took a break year for it, but no. No, no no nope. It’s not good man. It’s like… the Sonic Lost World of Pokemon.
>>
>>58428944
i'll mass dowvote PLA so PLZA can have it's rightful place as the better Legends games of all times.

It dropped even more?

Turns out when you completely throw out ideas that are interesting or could work for something completely different, that means you gotta work from scratch to make it appealing and not everybody's going to enjoy a SECOND tech demo at an even higher price with DLC on the way
>>
>>58428989
Good luck, you're going to need a lot of bots since people actually liked that game and ZA's user score is going to get fucked probably because of the pricing
>>
>>58428944
they took a year off and set the game in a SINGLE city and despite that, it looks like shit with low quality flat textures on buildings
maybe they should've spent money on development instead of suing pocketpair
>>
>>58428961
an alpha that's worse than the tech demo
I actually thought PLA was boring as fuck and barely played it but I'm beating ZA

As it should

What's the sample size for both? This early into reviews, that margin could grow or shrink very quickly

I'm honestly shocked at how bad this game is. Like it's straight up just not fun to play and I got at least some enjoyment out of every other Switch Pokemon game.
The new battle system feels like busy work and there's nothing engaging about progression or story in this game.
I'm literally playing it just cause Mega Starme makes me giggle.
>>
>>58428985
>It’s like… the Sonic Lost World of Pokemon.
lmao it really is
>>
>>58428944
Besides the new combat system almost everything in ZA feels like a downgrade
>The whole game is set on a single city
>The starter choices are weird why 2 johto and 1 unova
>Takes place only 5 years after xy and old characters don't even make an appearence
>No new regional forms or new cross gen evolutions only new megas
>The game still doesn't have abilities so most megas aren't as good as they could be
>The mega stones for the kalos starters are behind a paywall and fucking ranked
>The story feels boring compared to what PLA bought to the table

But this is the biggest one, this cast is just so fucking ass, compared to Legends Arceus, no character holds a candle to this fucker or as memorable either.

How does this keep happening

wow I think the other switch games are complete dogshit and I hate mega starmie. The duality of man.

Nintendo games just keep slowly getting worse .. alarming
>>
>>58429501
How is the big final fight in PLZA compared to Volo?
>>
>>58429658
It's more technically impressive since you're basically fighting Biollante from Godzilla but none of the human characters are relevant to this final encounter at all
>>
>>58429547
I mean you can hate the game AND Mega Starmie
>>
>>58429716
I think it's the best switch game so far though because the others were that bad

I mean, the story and gameplay are definitely better, but people are expecting much better graphics for the Switch 2. That’s the main complaint I see in every bad review. The textures are flat, the world doesn’t look good, and so on. It’s all graphics related. People gave PLA a pass because it was exclusive to the Switch 1, but for PLZA they want Switch 2 level graphics.
>>
>>58429106
lol no we didn’t. PLA fucking sucks dick. Instead of a game taking place in Sinnoh, we got a generic dust ass roll spam catching simulator.

Because they don't do anything with him in XY and the game you expect to explore his character decides to just throw him in the trash like the rest of the XY cast. It's like Game Freak thinks they wrote the most tragic character in the franchise but he has so little screen time the fanbase is always confused when he shows up
>>
>>58431453

>>58428944
People who use review scores to justify which game is better are faggots
>>
>>58429082
1) That was judged as a re-release of an existing game that cut out a lot of features and Emerald didn’t add those features back. ZA is marketed as a brand new game for a new console.
2) The primary demographic 20 years ago was a lot smaller and therefore a lot more strict. Nowadays a game can brand itself as a “cozy game” and coast on foids who have no standards.
3) Pokemania, arguably the largest pop culture phenomenon of the century (and still unsurpassed) has just ended and critics were emboldened to be a lot more strict. Pokemon is now considered a “legacy franchise” with immense cultural importance, so people give an automatic bonus to all Pokemon games on the basis of reputation and nostalgia.

it's pretty bland. you see the whole city within the first couple hours and there's barely any interior areas. the combat is just no fun, too.
>>
>>58431935
I hardly consider this game to not be turn based. It's essentially like the active time battle system in FF 6 through 10 except each attack has its own clock instead of each party member. I don't remember people claiming those games weren't turn based.

So just another day ending in a 'y', I dunno why you gave these filthy hobo-looking clowns your attention. They don't give two fucks about Pokemon other than what views they can get from it.

As soon as they first announced it, the game was already 99% complete and ready to be produced and shipped later that year. The only reason it took so long is because the Switch 2 itself was delayed, and they wanted LZA to be one of the Switch 2 gangbusters alongside Mario Kart and Donkey Kong.
And considering that GameFreak was ALREADY planning so far ahead as to consider Gen 11 in 2030, they were NEVER going to divert development back to polishing LZA.

The setting in general was just always going to be more interesting with Arceus because the colonization of Hokkaido in the 1800s but with pokemon and a guy who wants to usurp God just is innately more fun to think about than just.. 5 years after an already completed story set in a mostly inaccessible city with at most two or three returning characters.

There's also just the thing of the Legends series now not really making much sense - what are the themes and so on that distinguish it from mainline pokemon? With Legends Arceus it was obvious that it was that it was set in the distant past and the player character was therefore a fish out of water without strong connections to anyone around them and forced into danger to get by. It was slightly more serious in tone than most of the pokemon games due to this and the gameplay was harder, though the game still had lighthearted moments. With ZA its set.. 5 years into the amazing distant future of 2018, the protagonist is living in modern day and in a modern city without any real "bad guy" or threats, so there's no real danger, its lighthearted to the point of sugar poisoning.. it has nothing in common with LA except for the branding.

I also think that since Gamefreak is clearly worthless at 3D graphics LA ended up just looking better since with a wilderness setting there's more variation in biomes and things feel less cluttered so you generally don't notice the shitty flat textures quite as much, whereas with LZA you're in a city so you're constantly looking at walls and door and buildings and so its more jarring to see how flat everything looks.
