Did anyone mention this article yet? [Reputation] Review of Game Freak Co., Ltd. (Article No. 37462) [archive]

Oh is this the article where it says it's an old boys club of game freak veterans?

He's saying that the models had uselessly added complexity that wouldn't result in any visual improvement. It would only make the models balloon in wasted file size.

The models are not only not improved, their filesize is artificially inflated through what appears to be sheer incompetence.

Well that was rather dumb now wasn't it GF..

So I'm better off saving money and just get Untitled Goose Game, huh.

I already spent what I was going to on Dragon Quest, good game actually

I'm just going to pocket the money until I find something I really want. It'll probably go towards a PS2 or Banjo-Tooie should it ever appear on the shelves of the used game stores I frequent every now and then.

I fucking hate joe ao fucking much.

Oh my God, for reals? I actually had to get up to walk around for a few minutes to collect my thoughts, this baffled me so much. This is sheer laziness. I take it 3D modeling is still "new territory" for the sprite-makers, but how did no one look at this and go "That looks like shit"? This is what fucking amateurs do, and it's usually the first mistake that gets corrected real fast once you get the hang of 3D modeling. Taking away vertices will change the polygon, but adding to what's already absolute doesn't immediately conform the polygons into another shape, and is a waste of data. This is just to fool not just the system but also the higher-ups/newbies who don't know what they're looking for but will let it pass as long as it looks "smooth" when rendered in HD.

Is this a carryover of the 3DS model or from Let's Go?

All the models in Let's Go are basically identical to their 3DS counterparts as far as I understand. This whole Sword & Shield thing is really baffling though.... the models appear to be exactly the same yet they aren't. Could that fucked up model importer story really be true?

I wonder which event caused it; harsh sunlight fading soon after one KO or double KO with sunlight fading in between. Kinda reminds me of the fainted glitch in BW combined with HG/SS's anti-piracy lock.

Addendum: apparently the guy was modding with code or some shit, not fully sure how it would effect the battle system fully so in retrospect keep that in mind. IDK how they were able to put cheats in the game this early, thought it would take weeks.

It's a rather disheartening trend I am seeing across the entertainment industry where creators, the media, and their shills take shots at the "toxic" fan base. That is not to say there aren't bad actors--much of the Dexit debacle was overblown and Game Freak employees did receive verbal harassment. However, this is not merely a FAN problem but a CUSTOMER one. As the people who are shelling out OUR money for YOUR game we are well within our rights to expect a quality product and call you out when you fuck up. The relationship is ultimately transactional and if I feel that I'm not getting my money's worth, then I can take those dollars/pounds/yen elsewhere.

Wankers like Joe deride fans as entitled tossers who should be grateful that Game Freak is gracing us with another game. No, it is more likely the other way around. I'm seeing more and more creators who act like their shit doesn't stink and GF is--frankly--acting completely clueless. We've seen it with Ghostbusters (2016) and Terminator: Dark Fate where the directors attacked the fan base, and guess who refused to pay to see it in theaters? If GF and Joe want to hide behind the aegis of "Muh horse mint!" then they deserve what's coming to them.

Sad part is I don't think its game freak or any of the devs doing "MUH TAXIC" it is the pokemon fan boys, at this point tho considering we now found that the games battle mechanics can lead to worse glitches then red and blue, I would say the outrage wasn't over or under blown but the dex was just the tip of the ice burg

 

[Perspicacity]

It's shocking that not only does this game look like complete shit but it's barely functioning on a technical level. My mind is blown. Game Freak is literally releasing an early alpha version of Sword and Shield like it's a completed game.

As I said in the addendum, the guy was fucking around with cheats or something fucking giving himself two turns and 999 items so I'm guessing some of it was caused by that.
sorry for jumping the gun abit

I mean the climbing on the ladder freezing the everything else, FPS bottoming out when there is a dynamax pokemon transformation, and random void like battle backgrounds already proves a lot of this. Now that people are playing through the game we'll see if this happens more.

Xenoblade 2 remains the Undefeated Best Switch RPG Exclusive

They should just be offloading all their work to Monolithsoft now.

Sword and Shield has done more damage to Pokemon than Sticker Star did to Paper Mario.

 

[UntimelyDhelmise]

If all that game-breaking stuff is legit and not the produce of shitty hacking/modding, I think there actually will be a day 1 patch at this point if only just for those issues (aka the only reasons GF ever patches their games). Don't expect such a patch to fix anything else though, this is still GF we're talking about here.

But if not and the game is released as is and truly has all these problems, ho boy... Even the reviewers won't defend that kind of mess.

EDIT: Got some clarification and the burn/Quick Attack glitches are from a hacked game, but a different softlocked clip was not. So, yeah, still gonna be a shitshow if nothing's done about it.

I think its from the same guy if you are refering to the earlier clip I posted in the previous page, yeah it looks kinda sketch don't know why the clips are out of context from most of the stream, guy doesn't have an archive up either.
