No.54992024 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
>Runs like utter shit
>Is rn entirely dependent on the internal drive to fix most stuff and the most "stable" version to play it on are physical copies. Still a handful of performance issues remained, EVEN AFTER PATCHES
>Crashes. Just straight up crashes out of nowhere.

Gameplay:
>Slower battle frequency than PLA
>Team Star Challenges are just tedious time stretches in quantity
>Still no control on scam or hackmons. Game was reported to crash when trading.
>Lots of Persona material taken but somehow worse.
>Slacking detail work in enviroment and engagement with the overworld.
>Nemoma and Geeta have taken Diantha's spot in being the worst champions of them all. (Shit teams with a common weakness, Shitty Order which won't capitalize on their abilities, no switches, attacks despite the immunity)

Story:
>Penny is loaded with double standards
>Nemoma is a friendly brown rival the third, but it's a girl this time around and gets a pass. Next.
>Arven is based
>To get the FULL story presented in the BASE game, you need to spend an additional 30 bucks (Not even Swsh did this)
ENTERING THE DLC IN ONE WEEK:
>No battle facility, instead a sidequest system which is Identical to PLA's in the base game, this time locked behind the paywall
>A minigame to control your Pokemon, which has been a feature in the base game over an decade ago and is locked behind the paywall)
>Onion-hair upgrade for the NTR rival

Soundtrack:
>6/10 overall
>Gym battle theme and motif is a lackluster copy of SwSh's

According to insiders:
>Gamefreak was not under any pressure
>Had atleast 3 years of delevopment

Sidenotes:
>The state of the game was so bad that the Publisher Nintendo announced their offer for refund for digital copies.
>The only silver line for future improvement is a corperate speech in regards to the development and the staff of future Pokemon games. No follow ups on neither that statement or a willingness to improve SV was shown or featured afterwards.

It all comes tumbling down.
