Is this game even worth a pirate?A couple of years ago I tried pirating Violet and couldn't keep playing because the game was fucking shit.I recently purchased Legends Arceus after being promised it was actually good and indeed it was so I'm a bit willing to forgive modern Pokemon games but I'm not trying it again with Violet. How's SwSh in comparison? I'm planning to just pirate it because it also has DLC and I'm not willing to spend above $30 (including the DLC) for it.
>>59199034It's shit tier, inferior to USUM, it's only good because you can RNG manip raods and get shiny legends, other than that, you don't need it nor is it worth playing.
>>59199034If you hated an actually decent game like Violet, you're the kind of person who'd love SwShit.
>>59199048Literally no one "liked" SV until the Switch 2 made it popular opinion.
>>59199048>actually decent game>NPCs appear and disappear out of thin air>NPCs right next to you move at 3 fps>Lighting is wonky at best>open world has nothing in it>"gyms" are shit like push this jank olive>crashes>no shadows>shit tier graphics>decent gameI knew pokemon fans had no standards but oh my god>>59199069Also this.>The 60 dollar game plus 35 dollar DLC is actually decent if you the 600 dollar console.
>>59199034I played it on release and literally don't remember anything about it except that it was super linear.SV and PLA are better. ZA is also solid.
>>59199034No>>59199048Battered wife syndrome
>>59199034I have mixed opinions on swsh, objectively speaking it's probably the least fun pokemon game I've played but the dlc areas were actually pretty cool. SoIf you do pirate it make sure you get those as they were the real highlights of gen 8.
>>59199034>Is this game even worth a pirate?No, your time is much too valuable to waste on this garbage. Literally staring at the wall for the duration of time you'd be playing it would be a better use of your time. That goes for all post-B2W2 mainline games, but SWSH is arguably the most insulting of them all.
>>59199034SWSH is complete trash, they thought Switch would flop so they were making another 3DS game. When it succeeded they had to pivot to Switch and release this fucking atrocity which seems to run on the SM engine.
>>59199709Forgot to add, if you have a Switch 2, just get Pokopia and forget about the mainline drivel. It's actually fun and more than worth the price, mostly because it was developed by Koei Tecmo with minimal involvement from Game Freak.
>>59199078You literally can't find anything wrong with the content of the game, so you had to spread out technical/graphical issues for like eight points.
>>59199078"Graphics don't matter, gameplay is king" fags when a game looks shit but has actually good gameplay shows up
>>59199034SwSh is just a "safe" pokemon game in my opinion, doesn't do anything cool nor remarkable but it's still decent and has a good dex as well as a nice DLC.
>>59199727>so you had to spread out technical/graphical issues for like eight pointsWhich are arguably MORE IMPORTANT?No one has ever said SV is a bad game MECHANICALLY, this is the beta for the best pokemon game ever but sadly it's a turd held by duct tape and toothpicks and it's constantly shaking.So you're literally saying a crappy N64 ass looking game that barely works is fine as long as you have fun and has Pokemon's name on it? A baby can have fun with a turd but that doesn't mean it's good.>>59199729A game coming from the biggest and richest multimedia company in the world has no right to look like this. STOP DEFENDING IT.
>>59199729>but has actually good gameplayIt's literally the same primitive gameplay it's always been since 1996 except worse since it's open world.
>>59199733Not defending it, it looks like shit and has no excuse for looking like shit, Shitfreak is just incompetend when it comes to anything that isn't for a portable console. But we're talking about gameplay here and sorry to say this but the graphics being ugly don't affect the gameplay.
>>59199738It does when you know the Switch can do better. It's embarrasing to see how SV shares a console with games like Xenoblade Chronicles.And even then the game suffers from overall shitty design too like the bug "gym".And lastly, I HATE bringing youtubers into a conversation but watch The Act Man's video about the game which perfectly summarizes every issue and how just a game "being fun" doesn't excuse it. The game is bad and no amount of "fun" can fix that.
its worth full price
>>59199733No idea how pokemon fans allowed this shit to smash records and sell tens of millions of units. This is actually an embarrassment and should have been a massive scandal with tons of people getting fired and forced to publicly apologize. Like how can you actually release something this bad? I can’t imagine in my job if I did something this bad and presented it to a client or stakeholders or my boss that there would be any outcome except getting eviscerated and fired.
>>59199735SwSh isn't open world at all. The wild area is a really really big route with lots of different areas to catch pokemon in, but the whole thing is 100% linear. More linear than gen 1.
>>59199733>>59199742It doesnt always look that bad
>>59199034Brother, SwSh is even worse than SV.
>>59199034It's the last traditional Pokemon game. SV is a clusterfuck.
>>59200662How the fuck is SwSh more "traditional" than SV
genuinely? i enjoyed swsh a lot. it has the best clothing customization in the series and it pioneered the seeing pokes in the overworld encounter system (which is my favorite part of nupokemon). plus the champion has a decent team and so does your rival during the postgameit does run like absolute dogshit, but it's actually not as bad looking as sv imo.
>>59199034I ran through it in a week because I borrowed it from a library. It isn't worth it unless you NEED the mons for your HomeDex
>>59199034You will be overleveled during a play through which will make the story piss easy. In my last play through I had fun building up a rotation of like 20 Pokemon with the best moves, EV trained, good IVs (caught from raid dens). The DLC areas are great to check out as you’re going through. Typically I’d do a couple side quests on the Isle of Armor between each badge, then I’d go do some raids in the Crown Tundra because the raid levels scale with your badge level.
its possibly the fourth best mon game on switch
>>59202678Which are the first three? I take it New Snap and PLA are second and first.
Just pirate it anyway to hurt Shitendo.
>>59199034>normalfag has to ask if a game is worth piratingThere was no need for you to make a thread about this.
