I don't get why are people defending Sword and Shield so much. I was shilling for the game earlier but after playing I just feel let down. Once again we have another theme park region that wastes the potential of a UK region. The sports angle was fun, but felt a bit generic to me. You could apply it to any Western European region, so it didn’t feel particularly special. Wild area is half baked idea. It's get boring really fast. There is nothing to do there. Raids are fun for a while but also shitty and GF was trying to make it it impossible to solo 5* raid with useless npcs but ofc they failed. I was thinking about playing online but I'm not going to pay to face the same teams all the time in this centralized meta. Not to mention the whole community will become a shitflinging contest from now on.
