>>40912890Sit the fuck down, Joe. People wouldn’t be pointing out all of Sword and Shield’s cut corners and lazy bits if Gamefreak themselves hadn’t shat out a dozen different excuses for the same problem, none of which ended up being true.
The real reason the games keep turning out the way they do is because Gamefreak has to release one major game a year so that TPCi can keep rolling in dough, and they’re clearly not able to keep up with that pace. This game needed another 6 or so months in the oven and it clearly shows outside of the towns and gyms that actually had some development time put into them.
