>>57044696Yes? It's Pokémon, the gameplay has been roughly the same for 20 years. I got what I expected. In fact I liked the open world aspect because it changed up the gameplay in an interesting way, so I would call it an improvement.
If it was all about the gameplay, I wouldn't even buy the games, I'd just play showdown. The story is part of each gen that makes it worth playing for me. Which is why I hated SwSh.
>>57044709I guess that's fair. I care very little about graphics, and performance definitely matters, but is not a dealbreaker for me.
>but SV is definitely not on the same level as the other games in the seriesTrue, but I think it's better in some aspects.
To be honest, I don't know why you play Pokémon games if you value graphics and performance so much. They've always been sub-par at best in those aspects.
