If Pokémon Legend Arceus turns out to be a big disappointment and it turns out to be an extremely mediocre game like the last ones made by Game Freak were, what will be your reaction?

Be honest, what will you do? Avoid overly simple answers like "I'm leaving the franchise".

It already is, it's definitely not a true open world game, it's just a bigger Crown Tundra in size.

Legends could literally give your credit card number to Chinese hackers and brick your switch, and Pokemon consoomers will still buy it twice.

I'd laugh knowing that I was right and continue to do what I've always done. Continue to stay with the franchise for anything that's not the main games

I'll still buy it because it's the direction I think GameFreak should go in and they need to be incentivized to follow this path of diversifying their games.

What is "being proud and disappointed at the same time" called?
>Be honest, what will you do?
Nothing. I have plans to buy Switch, and reservation about buying legends. If the reviews are in and the majority of you guys thought it's bad, then I won't buy it.
Unironically, I trust the opinions of you retards more than any others, cause this cursed hellhole has no filters and point system.

Fallacy - assuming your definition of the games is an opinion I'd share. The games are kiddy shite, always have been but after that they still have something no other series has (mainly because they don't give a shit about going too into the world or scenario, due to being kid's games) and unless they FUNDAMENTALLY change their whole ethos to the series and it starts going in a direction that actively starts pissing me off (namely doing what /vp/ thinks they should do to "compete" with smaller adult-orientated series), I'm not dropping the series. Part of the joy is pretending to NOT be living in the real world and not having the stresses and worries of the real life to bother you for a while.

>if
gamefreak is intentionally shitting this out early in a very shitty quality
the concept of an open world pokemon rpg goes against their yearly cashgrab release pattern, which is why we got swsh dlcs instead of a third version
reminder that both dlcs were open world and that must have been a lot of work for gamefreak
they want everyone in the community to know that open world pokemon doesnt work and people will surely be convinced
this just gives them incentive to never try developing ambitious games like legends again and go back to shitting yearly low effort cashgrabs for the subhuman pokefaggots to consoooooom

I won't be surprised but neither will I spend money on it if it turns out to be very mediocre so I guess I will be happy that I saved money?

I have already moved on from GF's Pokémon, and I think any sensible person has already. In this context, Legends seems to be them making their case that they deserve to continue this franchise after all.

They're entitled, I guess, to make that case? It doesn't explain why the last few games have been such bizarre afterthoughts, but they seem to now finally express self-awareness that the status quo won't suffice anymore, and I'm willing to half-pay attention to it.

I think being critical right from the get-go – while it lets you be "right all along, I said from day 1 that Legends would be shit" and it probably will be the case, that approach is probably demotivating to the devs and makes you appear needlessly critical. So I'm just being quiet. They've burned through all their chances so it's not an "automatic" buy anymore (I haven't bought a game since Sun)
but they need to knock it out of the park. I hope they manage.

Sure proving that shitposting here no harm. Moved on so much, you're continuing to cry about the series as just posted.

If they fuck this up, then there’s no hope for the series moving forward. I’m done with the games at this point.

I want to have faith in this game, but I have a sneaking suspicion it won’t be a true open world game and we’ll just be aimlessly wandering around a grassy terrain. No interesting levels or diverse ecosystems.

I'll still play it regardless out of sheer curiosity of a Pokemon game that's open world. But I still like to remain optimistic and that the game will at least be interesting enough to make up for recent failures.

What I think it really needs to succeed it to try and really lean into the feudal setting it has. Different clans and territories battling for control and plenty of things to do besides capturing Pokemon and collecting them. Maybe build up your city by securing resources or defeating the Shoguns of other villages to add them to your own.

And you definitely need rideable Pokemon or some kind of transformation that isn't just restricted to a few selection locations to teleport to.

The whole thing is a training game for them to bring the core games more fully in the direction they'd started to go in with the DLC anon. It's not going to be a big epic experience beyond allowing them to get more used to doing this shit, now they have hardware to do it without the unit melting.

I'll be extremely happy to see all the retards fellating this game, just cause muh openwurld, get BTFO. At the same time I'll be laughing my ass off cause we all know this shit will sell 20+ million copies just cause they're marketing it as the botw of pokemon, and all those idiots will be making up excuses to justify their purchase with the usual >t-the next game will be good I swear.

I expect it to be a disappointment and already have absolutely no desire to get it. At least with SwSh I felt sad not getting it because it was a new gen, this game will play completely different to any other game so I personally won’t be missing out on anything.

Besides, this was the first e3 in years that has genuinely excited me (Metroid dread, halo 6, starfield) I have other series to be excited for again, maybe Pokemon will come back in 5 years. I never got swsh though, after preordering ever game since emerald so it won’t be hard for me to skip the future titles. Also college just takes up a lot of my time now so even if I wanted the game I’d have to put it off till the following summer vacation
