>>25207367>So as far as I'm concerned, the important parts of the game got improvedNot him but the only thing that was improved was battling anon and only the split did that. While it was a big change it doesn't rectify the game's shortcomings as a whole.
Day and Night did nothing but change the music unlike GSC.
Swamps and deep snow only served to hinder the player.
The Poketch only had about 4 useful apps. Why they didn't discard some of the drawing apps is beyond me.
The Underground had input lag in an area where capture the flag is the main game.
The game shipped with tweaking possible which is a game breaking bug and is easily achieved.
The game as a whole is slower and none of the subsequent games fixed that outside of the surf speed.
In Plat certain cities would drop frames where they wouldn't in DP and "saving a lot of data" was significantly longer.
And regardless of if you cared or not both secret bases and contests had a fuck ton of mechanics stripped like battling NPCs based off of a friend's team and jamming moves and combo moves respectively then there's the frontier which was stripped of nearly all of the unique facilities and replaced with tower reskins. If they were going to get lazy and cut shit out like that they might as well have just left it out instead of spitting in the face of fans like that.
Gen 4 was an utter clusterfuck and only improved the game in a single area while the rest of it was a straight downgrade from Gen 3.
