From all the videos and screenshots I have seen so far, Scarlet&Violet look worse and very flat compared to Sword&Shield, which had much nicer, more diverse and lush environments & cities/towns.

It is hardly surprising since we have consistently seen games struggle with the Switches' hardware from the beginning. What is surprising is that they didn't take away anything from the other open world games in Nintendo's wheel house. This game should have been delayed and gotten Monolith to assist, waited to be a launch title for the next system or should have been paired down their ambitions for this title. Key Features: • Play anytime, anywhere, with anyone. Nintendo Switch can transform to suit your situation, so you can play the games you want, no matter how busy life may be. The games just came out so I won't be spoiled with anything until tomorrow. The only thing I will say is, I can wait any time until Generation X arrives, so please Game Freak, focus mainly on this game for the next years!Scarlet & Violet’s promise of being the main series’ first open-world game isn’t a false one. Every inch of Paldea is ours for the taking, and we’re ready for adventure just like the little kids who booted up their Game Boys for the first time and took their first steps in Kanto. Adventure awaits, and it’s right on our doorstep. Except things don’t start that way. The whole game world of Scarlet&Violet looks very amateuristic where you see for example a big grass plane and they just placed a city right on top of it, without putting any effort in blending it more into the environment and make it look more natural, like they did much better in Sword&Shield. Been playing since the first generation, skipped the sixth only because I joined the 3DS party late, and stopped after a disappointing eighth. Even with my lowered expectations I'm still disappointed with this generation. Oh, how the franchise has fallen.

Snatcher Again Splatoon is developed by Nintendo, the company who literally know how to Switch works and who are familiar with the hardware inside and outside. We all know they can do way better than what they give us and launching these latest games with such poor graphics quality and then still having serious framerate issues is inexcusable! No idea how in earth Nintendo approved these games to launch in such a state?! did anyone play Xenoblade x on the Wii U? graphics were incredible. BOTW on switch was a Wii U port. drewber2635 Totally agree. If they give them time the game would sell even better because the word of mouth would pass like wildfire, but this kind of every year/few months survival of the Pokemon series is awful. I have completely left the series due to these poor games. Yeah sorry but if this region is as bland and uninspired as Arceus was then I think I’ll pass unfortunately. I’d be more excited for a new mystery dungeon or pokepark at this point.broskiplays No, it's very much a Game Freak/Pokemon Company problem. Even with better technology, they still won't manage to utilise it well. Plenty of developers have shown that the Switch is capable of much better than this. The main market is no all that bothered with the look and performance, they just want to play the games and enjoy them, doubt they look into things all that much, still a little upsetting for those who do, I just bear in mind who these games are marketed at, and have fun with them for what they are, and try not to obsess over it. johnvboy a more powerful console would help in the sense that a poorly optimized game with the same graphics as SV would have better framerate in a mote powerful device.

I came to close to buying the Splatoon OLED, but made myself really inspect the design and I came to the conclusion that the Splatoon iconography does little for me and the joy-cons are the only particularly good thing about it. I prefer the Splatoon one, the joy cons especially look great. I've been meaning to by an OLED but at this point I think I'm going to wait to see if there will be a Zelda one when BotW2 releases and get that. there is simply no excuse for Game Freak to cut corners. Pokemon is the most profitable brand on the planet. They should be expected to be better on performance and features Do another Legends spin-off but give it to Monolith to do. XC3 is staggeringly huge and has zero technical issues. Poco_Lypso That's the main issue though, is that the game is selling on reputation alone. I watched it in a 4 hour stream yesterday and I certainly don't feel like I'm missing out.Peach64 BOTW has been developed by Nintendo, they for some reason always manage to make smooth experiences on the switch despite other devs not even able to. Nintendo probably has some sort of optimization that no other developer has which makes their games run better than others for sure. That defeats the point of being open world. I love the idea of Pokémon done in a BOTW style so you could go literally anywhere go through at your own pace your own way. But with that said having level scaling is honestly the best COA. Just leave the Pokémon at that location those levels you were when you leave. JudaiMasters Nintendo should make the Pokemon game series from gen 10 and onward. Gamefreak should stop with creating Pokemon games and focus on their own stuff. It's really a first when Pokemon games are actually too technically ambitious for the hardware they run on. Sure there was some issues on the 3DS games in battles where there were 3 or more on screen but now the games are trying to outdo the hardware they are on. It’s easy to moan about the Switch hardware being out dated. It is, and I will never understand how some people are gleeful every time a rumoured Switch Pro announcement fails to happen. I just don’t get that attitude. You don’t want an upgraded model? Don’t buy one.
