>It's not, you still need to download the update. It's just a fancy physical version.
Fricking christ, at least other gaming studios have the decency to put that shit on the disc/cartridge when they release a complete edition.
This edition comes without all the performance trouble and glitches, right?
It’s a definitive release, isn’t it???
>complete edition >doesn't have the full dex
This is grounds for a lawsuit, right?
They don't say it's the "Complete" edition.. It's just a version of the game with the $30 DLC included, probably for $60 altogether. It's a good deal if you haven't played it yet.
They'll probably make a GOTY/Complete edition after the second DLC releases.
>probably for $60 altogether
anon when they did the same for SwSh it was for $90. Now games are more expensive in general the price will probably be $100. Collector bait
>Collector bait
Not exactly. I don't doubt some collectors will be buying it, but the fact that the DLC isn't on the cartridge means it's not super appealing for people who already own the base game.
The target audience is definitely people who haven't already bought the game, and especially kids. That's why it's being released for the holiday season. Why do you think the DLC is timed to come out at this part of the year? It fills this year's slot for an annual release.
It's not, you still need to download the update. It's just a fancy physical version.
I once heard a theory that the reason for the BDSP update was that GameFreak/TPCi didn't want to bother with buying larger cartridges.
Stuff like this is making it more believable.
They're doing this just to have something "new" on retail for the holidays.
Same as this Mario Kart 8 bundle with the DLC. Since Wave 6 of the DLC isn't going to be out by November, it includes the first 5 waves on the cart and the 6th wave will be downloadable once it releases.
Mario Wonder and Super Mario RPG are holiday games, aren't they? Though I guess selling the DLC like this is simpler for kids/parents who can't figure out the concept of DLC.
Mario Kart 8's DLC is unironically among the best DLC ever made, up there with games such as Witcher 3. 8 Deluxe's DLC is nowhere near that level but it's still a great deal
>8 Deluxe's DLC is nowhere near that level but it's still a great deal
8 Deluxe's DLC is essentially an entirely second game's worth of tracks and characters. I'd say it's far better than 8's DLC.
8DX's DLC courses are copy pasted from Tour and are a noticeable downgrade in (visual) quality. 8's were entirely newly designed or remastered courses and are nearly identical to the base game in quality
Listen up, incel
I know you don't hear this often enough but that cringe bullshit you think is important? It fricking isn't. Nobody cares about your pathetic shitmons that didn't make the cut, chuddy buddy.
Part 2 is coming late october, because they won't tout a "whole" edition, without having the whole content available to play, and won't frick their playerbase who bought the DLC pack separately by making them wait.
it's almost as if they've done this song'n'dance before....
has been confirmed that a physical edition of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, alongside its DLC, The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, will release globally on November 3rd 2023. These will contain the current version of the game, but will require a content update when The Indigo Disk releases. If you purchase this, you will also get a Serial Code for 100 Poké Balls

... because neither DLC is on-cart midwit. They haven't announced the release of Indigo yet, so are keeping neutral regarding its launch (and as you'll technically have to d/l TM as well as ID, can say "you'll need a content update to play new thing").
Stop blindly believing marketing for normalgays, jesus.
And you ignore the fact they announced the Gen 8 Game/DLC bundle on the last tuesday of Sept. in 2020 to launch on the first friday in November and announced the Gen 9 Game/DLC bundle on the last tuesday of Sept. in 2023 to launch on the first friday in November. It's almost as if they're repeating themselves, due to how successful Gen 8's DLC ended up being for the Generation.
>release half asked game >game runs like shit >acknowlege that your game runs like shit and day you'll work on fixing it >year later >only remove a few bugs >framerate still shit, frame pacing still shit, still a metric ton of graphical glitches too >release half baked DLC >somehow manage to make the game run EVEN WORSE >Decide to release a "complete edition" of a game that everyone knows runs like complete shit without all the DLC content even released for it yet >charge a premium for the game as a cherry on top
At this point, you've really got to admire the sheer unmitigated gall Gamefreak has. They truly do not give a shit, and are basing their entire development philosophy on the motto "You'll buy it anyway, buttholes". I'm not even insulted, I'm legitimately impressed
It's really sad from a game conservation stand point that there won't be a version of this game with all of the dlc on cart. I was planning on picking up the other version with dlc when it came out, but now it seems so pointless to do
>bundle has existed since the DLC was announced forever ago >suddenly everyone goes moronic when its just a physical release of the same exact bundle
You guys are scarily good at pretending to be moronic... You guys are pretending, right?
no one cares about a digital bundle. Have a complete game on cartridge is much more important. It let's you access all of the content even after servers go down
I genuinely don't understand what you are trying to say. The people in this thread are talking about how they are mad that the physical cart doesn't contain both dlc and for some reason you think that makes them moronic for not talking about a digital bundle? Please help me understand
>complete edition of swsh comes with both dlcs on the cartridge with no additional download needed >sv backtracks on that where the """complete edition""" is just the cartridge + one time use code
Game Freak backtracking on anything remotely decent
So I guess Part 2 is definitely coming out in November
It's not, you still need to download the update. It's just a fancy physical version.
So BDSP all over again?
>It's not, you still need to download the update. It's just a fancy physical version.
Fricking christ, at least other gaming studios have the decency to put that shit on the disc/cartridge when they release a complete edition.
It's not called a complete edition though, OP made that up. Dunno why people are making such a fuss over it.
>Dunno why people are making such a fuss over it.
>GOOD GOY! YOU ALREADY BOUGHT BOTH VERSIONS!
>BUT HOW ABOUT TWO MORE!
...
It's not targeted at people who already bought the game, moron
It's not? I was already preordering it.
Most AAA devs try to put as little content onto Switch cartridges as possible. They're expensive to manufacture, and more ROM is more expensive.
>it's not
That's really moronic. God this gen was mess.
The only people who doubted that were manchild morons who ignore how they market their kid's games.
Why are so dumb? The DLC aren't on the cart, it comes with a download code for the DLC. Are literal children actually here?
>Complete Edition
they haven't even released the second DLC yet. israelite freak is on another level
They don't say it's the "Complete" edition.. It's just a version of the game with the $30 DLC included, probably for $60 altogether. It's a good deal if you haven't played it yet.
They'll probably make a GOTY/Complete edition after the second DLC releases.
If it comes with the DLC then it is a “Complete Edition,” they aren’t adding anything else.
>probably for $60 altogether
anon when they did the same for SwSh it was for $90. Now games are more expensive in general the price will probably be $100. Collector bait
>Collector bait

it’s gonna cost minimum $90, probably $95 because this DLC costs $5 more than the SwSh one
This garbage isn't even worth pirating, so it's definitely not worth purchasing.
Surely no one has declared SV as GOTY
>probably for $60 altogether
Nah it will be $90.
>It's a good deal if you haven't played it yet.
Not buying this shit.
I once heard a theory that the reason for the BDSP update was that GameFreak/TPCi didn't want to bother with buying larger cartridges.
Stuff like this is making it more believable.
YOU. WILL. BUY. IT. ANYWAY.
nobody is buying this trash again jesus tpc nintendo you shoudl be ashamed
ohhh that's where you're wrong buddy
Its probably for the people who dont have it yet. Or parents who were waiting to get it for christmas etc
Open world was a mistake. Please don’t buy this trash if you haven’t already
I've bought both and I can't wait to buy both again!
Open world is best way for pokemon.
Future looks bright
Complete Garbage Edition, sure lmao.
This edition comes without all the performance trouble and glitches, right?
It’s a definitive release, isn’t it???
in time for Black Friday. I guess Indigo Disk will release just before christmas at this point
>complete edition
>doesn't have the full dex
This is grounds for a lawsuit, right?
>inb4 they're actually updated versions with better graphics and performance
I doubt, but it would be funny as frick.
They're doing this just to have something "new" on retail for the holidays.
Same as this Mario Kart 8 bundle with the DLC. Since Wave 6 of the DLC isn't going to be out by November, it includes the first 5 waves on the cart and the 6th wave will be downloadable once it releases.
Mario Wonder and Super Mario RPG are holiday games, aren't they? Though I guess selling the DLC like this is simpler for kids/parents who can't figure out the concept of DLC.
Mario RPG isn't getting a physical release.
Huh? I saw it on display at Gamestop
>he doesn't know
It'll just be download codes in a package
Mario has DLC? WOW Mario really has fallen i guess mariogays just slurp up anything nowdays...
Mario Kart 8's almost 10 years old anon. It was either that or making a new Mario Kart.
It's adding the new courses they made for the mobile game.
Where the frick have you been these past 10 years? The first DLCs for MK8 showed up back during the Wii U era.
Mario Kart 8's DLC is unironically among the best DLC ever made, up there with games such as Witcher 3. 8 Deluxe's DLC is nowhere near that level but it's still a great deal
>8 Deluxe's DLC is nowhere near that level but it's still a great deal
8 Deluxe's DLC is essentially an entirely second game's worth of tracks and characters. I'd say it's far better than 8's DLC.
8D's DLC is full of mobile ports that completely stick out compared to the base game and even the Wii U's DLC.
>characters
They only added 6.
It's closer to 10, anon.
8 is equidistant from both 6 and 10. And characters in 8 barely change the gameplay, anything within the same weight class is just a skin.
8DX's DLC courses are copy pasted from Tour and are a noticeable downgrade in (visual) quality. 8's were entirely newly designed or remastered courses and are nearly identical to the base game in quality
What's the point of these bundles when it costs the same as buying the game & DLC together?
>"Complete"
wonderful, so they added in all the missing pokemon and items? it's complete?
Listen up, incel
I know you don't hear this often enough but that cringe bullshit you think is important? It fricking isn't. Nobody cares about your pathetic shitmons that didn't make the cut, chuddy buddy.
They can't even add post-game content, what makes you think they will do that?
anon, you heard them. they said "complete"
Still not playing SV.
wait a minute
are they releasing an incomplete complete edition
>just little bit less than 2 months until we go back to Unova
Bros...
I can't wait....
Wrong! This doesn't have Indigo Disc on it until the upate. Part 2 could be next year for all we know
Part 2 is coming late october, because they won't tout a "whole" edition, without having the whole content available to play, and won't frick their playerbase who bought the DLC pack separately by making them wait.
it's almost as if they've done this song'n'dance before....
october isn't winter 2023 though
Get fricked midwit.

It's almost as if they're repeating themselves, due to how successful Gen 8's DLC ended up being for the Generation.
they mean Japan winter, silly
It's not coming out before this bundle. Mario Kart is doing the same thing, where waves 1-5 are on the cart but not wave 6.
>all the games coming out in October + the DLC
Okay what the frick I won't have any time for this
Complete but you have to download the second half of the dlc later which means tick tock for incomplete
>release half asked game
>game runs like shit
>acknowlege that your game runs like shit and day you'll work on fixing it

that's capitalism for you, boy
How?
no competition, no quality control, they won because morons buy it anyway. that's the end game of capitalism.
Capitalism isn't a lack of competition. This would happen under any other economic system.
This wouldn't happen udner Communism and you know thta
yeah, no one would have enough food to even have the energy to make video games
True, they have no competition and idiots buy this slop in droves despite knowing its complete shit. I really can't blame Gamefreak at this point.
It's really sad from a game conservation stand point that there won't be a version of this game with all of the dlc on cart. I was planning on picking up the other version with dlc when it came out, but now it seems so pointless to do

Scarlet & Violet's bundle doesn't let you.
Yeah, people would be more worried about where their next meal is.
>Scarlet & Violet's bundle doesn't let you.
that's the point people are upset about in the thread. You did make sure to read before posting, right?
This thread is about the boxed copy, which does not have both DLCs on the cart.
I genuinely don't understand what you are trying to say. The people in this thread are talking about how they are mad that the physical cart doesn't contain both dlc and for some reason you think that makes them moronic for not talking about a digital bundle? Please help me understand
