Bros, I think maybe we were too harsh on gen 8, after all...

gen 8 was legitimately good outside of the jank looking wild areas.

They need to go back to anime art style instead of realistic slop.

Sad and hilarious at once.
I mean, ZA looks decent outside of the cardboard flat buildings. They really need to step it up for gen 10, and they don't have the "muh underpowered hardware" cope now.

Gen 8 deserved the criticism it got.
You think it was unjustly accused because GF lowers the bar so much between each game, so it tricks your perception into thinking 4 games ago it was good just because the new games are so much worse.

You mean they removed the Exp. Share and made it even worse with the Exp. Candies.

>More freedom to explore than SM
You're retarded.

The "exploration" is an unity test map, the real region is a bunch of straight lines.

Alola at least had routes and zones you don't visit until postgame. In Galar you see everything in the map like a tour guide.

>no time travel/imagination/wormhole shit
Dude WTF is Eternatus doing then?

>free camera
You're trolling

Yeah sure, because there's nothing that you can interact with. Obviously it won't glitch with "Mine 1" and "Mine 2"

These are all fixed camera sections of the game, so of course they look good. Its comparable to painting a static picture. The wild areas with true 3D all looked like ass and ran like shit. You're just wearing some wrird nostalgia goggles.

I still think Galar's native Pokemon are some of the biggest hit or misses. For every Centiskorch, there's at least two Stonjourners or Eiscue. Also the story sucks shit all over it and Marnie sucks but no one cares because she is cute enough for any hebephile to paint their desired personality onto.
Love Galar's potential, hate its reality.

Sword and Shield were still the worst games I’ve ever played. The only positive thing I can mention are that the girls are cute. That’s it. Not even the music is good, I can’t remember enjoying a single track.

I disagree on the soundtrack. If you remove the chanting from the Gym leader theme it would be peak. I also really like Hop's theme. Bede's is neat as well.

They should just make the whole game tank controls with fixed camera angles. I wouldn't mind the style being everywhere in exchange for no 3d wild zone meme. Make it a region full of Resident Evil, Parasite Eve, and Dino Crisis references while they're at it too.
