Why do these games feel so empty and boring? I don't even mean content wise, but just the overall world feel. It feels like playing a 3DS or mobile game which was made to output at higher res. Flat worlds, unpolished graphics, clashing models, ghost towns etc. Legends like like a step in the right direction enviroment wise, but it ran like shit in the trailer and I doubt you can see pokemon far off in the distance.
Gen 7 felt lively and vibrant for it's hardware so what happened? Is it that we can't fill in the blanks as much at a higher res?
