I bought Dragon Quest XI in boycott of GF and their decisions.
Then my sugar daddy bought me the double pack of SwSh, and I haven't completed past the 3rd gym. The routes are still hallways, linear and unmoving. The Wild Area is vast but hallow. Raids don't appeal to me and I generally don't like most of the NPCs; rival Hop is extra and blah, champion is retarded, Professor and her aid are forgettable, Team Yell make no sense and suck, Marnie, Bede, Chairman all assclowns that project just how inept GF is with making characters.
The region is shaped like a turd, a literal log turd. There are 10 routes which feels like too few and connecting areas prove lacking; Galar Mine and Galar Mine 2. Wow.
The wifi stuff is dogshit. Joining raids never works and compared to the PSS of two Generations ago, leaves a lot to be desired. Menus are laid out badly, buttons are programed all janky and there is no customization or variable available.
Character customization is great, if you're a fag who wants to spend 45 minutes on an outfit and then a pose for trainer cards. I am not, so I could give a wet shit about new town, new clothes.
Dexit is whatever. I figured they would patch more in for a new game or expansion but the sheer amount of 'Mons available before 1st gym is staggering. But making new Pokemon a 1% appearance is fucking idiotic. Centiscorch route 3 for example. Baffling you would hide a new species behind all these old fags.
Standard new entry: 1 step forward, 3 steps backwards with a second step forward patched in for the next year release or expansion pass. Rent, borrow, be gifted, do not buy.
