You are easily impressed by flashy lights and the general concept of pokemon being in 3D over anything of substance.
Basically you're the target demographic now. Must be nice.

The environments and customization is really comfy. The overworld mixed in with the random encounters makes hunting for the mon you want so much more fun. The amount of pokemon available in each route is generous. The exp share incentives you to catch pokemon you normally wouldn't want to grind with so you can enjoy more mons you normally wouldn't use. It feels like a great next step for pokemon.

Why don't he pass you his copy for a moment?

Or you could also pirate it offering a version who wouldn't destroy your SD card

favorite game no, but it's actually the best of the 3d games despite cutting half of the pokemon. Let's not pretend it wouldn't be better with them though. I can only fully accept this if pokemon home is a mixture of box, ranch and has stadium functionality so you can still fight with all of your old pokemon.

>>played for hours
how many hours, because even going at a moderate pace you will finish the game in under 20 hours ESPECIALLY if you're autistic enough to post on a 4chan Pokemon board.

There is no postgame. That's it. If you go fast (not speed running, just going through the main story like it wants you to) you can be done in ten hours. That's pathetic for a $60 game.

I played sun and moon nonstop until I realized it was complete trash. That I got sucked into it because "new" and "different" before realizing the game was just feeding my autism and that I had been tricked. Never again.

It's not just the postgame, not even the main story is complete. The game has the same problem XY did, where the first few gyms happen at a good pace but at the halfway point it becomes really clear that they rushed things. It's worse too, since the last routes and final boss area are extremely short and linear, and by that point you'll have finished exploring the wild area (unless your a Gofag raid junkie or want to catch all the timelinked pokemon despite us living in a post-cull universe)

They are linear, but their are branching paths. And the wild area more than makes up for the linear hallways imo.

I honestly don't care if notbuyingitbois change their mind or not. I just wanted to let the people who are on the fence know that it's actually a lot more enjoyable than veepee would have you think.

$60 for a ten to twelve hour game with less than half the dex isn't worth it. Yeah, woohoo, it's Pokemon so you'll shovel shit into your mouth and ask for more; come back in three weeks and give your opinion again when you aren't blinded by the dopamine high of pure novelty

Elaborate, because from what I've seen "level gated safari zone" doesn't seem like too much of a simplification to it.

>I just wanted to let the people who are on the fence know that it's actually a lot more enjoyable than veepee would have you think.
Is it $60 enjoyable?

>ten to twelve hour game
You seem to be purposefully leaving out the online competitive and casual battles they have now, the raids and exploration in the wild area, and that the QoL changes makes catching and leveling up new mons and getting new teams ready for competing with online trainers so much more enjoyable and accessible. If you put down any pokemon game after beating the story, it's your own fault for not getting $60 worth of entertainment out of this game.

I will also remind you that each of the games is equally short if you steamroll through them. I beat Diamond in 7 hours just using Infernape so I could trade mons into HG. That being said, you are free to keep your opinions. I don't actually care.

I remember an anon saying this game only takes 10 hours to beat. I'm playing through it now and 12 hours in and I'm only at the 5th gym. You are right all pokemon games can be beaten in a couple of hours if you arent retarded

It's almost as if the game is incredibly front loaded and if you actually played the fucking game instead of shit posting on 4chan you could finish the game in another couple hours
The differences in apparent playtime solely derive from how long people fuck around in the wild area their first time in it. Morons like you who haven't finished the game have an imaginary mountain of content just waiting for you to complete it when the reality is that the last few gyms are right next to one another and there's only 10 routes total

So QoL/basic Online features that are you should expect anyway are somehow worth an additional $20?
But even then you're arguing that aspects make up for it's short comings, so if these things make SwSh equal in relative value to the previous game you haven't begun to answer for the additional $20 dollars.

Also I just need to hone in on this specifically
>If you put down any pokemon game after beating the story, it's your own fault for not getting $60 worth of entertainment out of this game
So you can charge literally anything for a game and it's your fault for not playing it enough to get X amount of entertainment out of it. Seriously man?

You can charge the standard price for the game and if people beat it as fast as possible and then start complaining about how it's not long enough without exploring the other aspects of the game, then those customers are dumb-dumbs.

>>41242559
I don't imagine a mountain of content, but I'm having fun taking my time exploring, training, and catching new pokemon. Isn't that what these games are about?

The wild area is a flat open area. Of the effort they spent most of it was in designing simple systems mechanics. They absolutely should have had the bandwidth to design well made routes as well.

Stop. You're arguing past me.
My challenge is that the content provided, work in production, and relative improvement from the previous installment is what contributes to value, not how much time you spend with it.
I spent 300+ hours happily replaying playing Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland, that doesn't mean it has $500 worth retail or something. I could also speed through RS and find it more enjoyable than taking my time in SM because of the quality and amounts of content. The time spent is an extremely contextual aspect of value, for how much it does matter.

I should clarify, if it isn't obvious, that I'm getting at retail value or relative price increases within a series. Someone may personally feel $XX was more than worth some experience, but if more of that experience was consistently offered for less money previously should be able to recognize being shafted.
