I just played through and finished XY for the first time after ignoring it for years and skipping straight to gen 7 onwards. All I can say is... the game really feels like an amusement ride all the way through. You just keep moving from start point to the next point with no detours, looking at the pretty sights and some touristic place that has nothing inside (like all those palaces, the tower, etc) Game really feels like it's just a visual tour to show off what GF could do with their first real 3D game. Don't get me started on the story, which was absolutely terrible. It feels like they forgot to write a story for the game and just slapped some shit together at the last minute, because the game clearly had a lot of lore that was set-up but never explored. I dunno. This game feels like an epitome of cool concepts/ideas but piss poor execution. Pokemon Z really needed to exist and fix up this game. But they really just couldn't be assed, I suppose.
>>59445255But did you see MEGA CHARIZARD X?! Or MEGA LUCARIO?!!!! That was the whole point of the game, after all.
>>59445255The shitty 3D really hampered Gen 6 in general. The camera was locked on a bird's eye view the entire time, except for "cinematic" showoffs, making the entire thing looking awkward and uncanny to play.Gen 7 did a much better job with the 3D viewpoint since the camera wasn't locked on top of you the entire time, XY/ORAS would've looked much better to play that way.

>>59445270> The shitty 3D really hampered Gen 6 in general. The camera was locked on a bird's eye view the entire time, except for "cinematic" showoffs, making the entire thing looking awkward and uncanny to play.Yeah, I hated gen 5 because of this too.
>>59445288hi kojo
>>59445270thing is that GF back then just couldn't fathom the concept of making a 3D game. They were still making essentially a 2D Pokemon game with 3D thorough gen 6, 7 and even 8.The grid-based movement, the way trainers just stood there or paced around, the map/layout design, etc. It has only been recently with Legends that they have finally understood how to make 3D games (even if they might still look like piss water) at least they don't really feel like 2D games in 3D anymore. WW will be their time to show off what they can do with the S2, no more coping with "we were being held back by hardware" with gen 8 and gen 9.
>>594452983D isn’t a genre.
>>59445255they weren't great game per se, quite lame in hindsight. I played X first and Y like one year later because why not, and on a second playthrough you realize how fucking boring the campaign is.but they objectively added a lot of great features that massively improved the competitive aspect like breeding easier than ever, super training, and the PPS or whatever it was called. if you had all the right things you could get a competitive ready pokemon in less than a hour.
>>59445449>they weren't great game per senah they’re objectively really good
>>59445465nocampaign sucks and is horribly pacedgay ass story and undercooked villainAZ completely underutilized, very obviously a lot of lore and ideas were cut during production for a Z game that never happened until maybe legends AZthey give you like 3 rivals and none of them is coolabsolutely fucking nothing postgame with just a battle facility and the detective quest (which is kind of a tradition for the first games in any games, I'll admit)3D models look lifeless and the colours are washed out, badass pokemons now looked lame as fuck, and flying types just look retardedeasy as fuck even compared to pokemon standards for the timebarely anyone outside of you has a mega evolution, speaking of which not giving a single mega to a kalos pokemon in the gen that introduced them is beyond retardedthere are other important additions like character personalization and amie, so again, while not great games per se, some of their parts have been good additions to the franchise

Maybe it's because I'm not a campaignshitter like you and wasn't scared of clicking the multiplayer button kek
>>59445509>Maybe it's because I'm not a campaignshitter like you and wasn't scared of clicking the multiplayer button kekholy shit, if you wanted to out yourself as a baiting retard, you just managed with this final sentence, I was very obviously talking about the single player, I did say previously that I like the multiplayer in it
All XY criticism is just bitching about things that are common to nearly every Pokemon game while pretending they're unique to XY
>>59445522>I was very obviously talking about the single player,how does it matter what NPCs use in single player?
who gives about compshit it has been the same garbage since 2013.
>>59445820>weather wars>gems>genies>goodwhy pretend to play the game?
>xy thread>full of mass replying autists seething over muh objectiveness and things every game doesEvery time.
>>59445288both are shitanother game being shit doesn't make xy less shit
It's genuinely sad seeing you waste so much energy and time pretending to defend XY all these years. You say the same shit over and over.Its been like half a decade of you doing this man. What are you like in real life lmao.
>>59446179>make same shitty "criticisms" over and over>"wtf why am I getting the same responses over and over?"
>>59446179>it's all one personHoly autism
