I fully expect this shit to blow over and it makes me FURIOUS. I am so tired of the homogenization towards mediocrity in all avenues of life. It is mind numbing. It's like I'm constantly being told "No, things were never good." And now I have to deal with it in Pokemon, too. I wanted to believe XY and SM were just GameFreak getting their feet wet with 3D, that they were just learning, that once they had the power of the Switch at their disposal they'd really show us the passion they had back in the GSC days. But no.
Of fucking course not. Utopianism and bland, rounded corners - Fuck that, no, there are no corners. They cut so many corners the game is a fucking sphere. They opened 3DS max and made a cube and hit "bevel edges" and called it a Pokemon. You want to know how that fucking penguin was made? At some point somebody modeled a penguin. Then they accidentally put a cube on top. Somebody laughed at the screen as a joke and they made it a Pokemon. I'm angry. I'm angry and sad. This is not what the series we have been supporting since the 90s deserves. Forget about me, forget about our fun - The fucking SERIES ITSELF deserves better. God fucking damn it. AMATEUR mistakes, shit that DOES NOT HAPPEN IN GAMES ANYMORE, were made in this gen. THE FUCKING CHARLIE'S ANGELS GAME, ON GAMECUBE, IS THE KIND OF QUALITY WE ARE BEING GIVEN.
EVERY SHADER, EVERY LIGHTING EFFECT, EVERY RENDERING PATH - IT'S ALL DEFAULT OUT OF THE BOX GARBAGE AND THEY ARE SELLING IT TO YOU FOR SIXTY DOLLARS. UNREAL ENGINE 4. GO DOWNLOAD IT, RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. CREATE A PLANE. GIVE IT A WATER MODIFIER. CREATE A LIGHT SOURCE. ADD A REFLECTION SHADER - A DEFAULT REFLECTION SHADER. CONGRATS YOU MADE POKEMON SWORD AND SHIELD'S WATER.
RIGHT OUT OF THE FUCKING BOX. I'm platinum mad. I haven't typed in caps lock out of anger since 2008. They didn't even change the FUCKING COLOR. NO EXCUSES.
