Why does?

Why does /vp/ try so hard to downplay USUM? It objectively added more than any other third version and has the most content in the series, only behind BW2.
These games are aging like a fine wine

          What's makes this a 'discord' thread? Because it praises a game you don't like? Just admit you're a genwar autist

    I don't have to try. I tried to play USUM and quit around the end of the 2nd island because of how much of a slog it felt. SM with a skip function slapped on would've made for a far better '3rd version' than USUM.

    They're too new to get nostalgia bias, and too old to have blind hype praise, so a lot of the only people who actually talk about Alola are the genwar addicts who haven't even played them and only mention gen 7 specifically because they have a slightly better chance of getting away with posting blatant lies when they try to defend worse games.
    They can't use something like gen 4 or BW/2 because if they lie about those even casual fans will notice, and actual criticism doesn't get (you)s, but they also can't use gen 8 or 9 because those are actually controversial and won't be defended as strongly.
    Gen 7 is the only option when they're desperate because the games are good enough for a comparison to make something else look better, but not popular enough for how biased their comparisons are to be obvious.

    The only option currently is to wait. Either the genwar addicts will decide something else is an easier target, or Alola praise will eventually grow enough to make their spam noticably wrong.

    Did you even read the list?
    >massive list of story changes, the majority of which were worse than the original (but still pretty shitty) story
    >story changes includes inconsequential shit like reveiving your starter in a different location, while not listing it for platinum despite also being different from dp. They literally have an entire line for "bits of dialogue being added to Hau and Guzma" to make the list seem longer
    >version exclusives make up a third of the list despite being the opposite of extra content
    >the USUM list includes removed content from SM; removal of most of the zygarde cube content is listed despite the image being presented as "longer list = more content"

      Why are you lying? It literally says how you receive your starter differently from DP in the second row of the storyline changes.

      catching legendaries in the ultra warp ride is the opposite of content?

    I'm trying to figure out if the trainer pictures there are 'jaks or not before I dismiss the thread.

    If you want to be objective it had the least new additions with most changes either being story related without adding any new dungeons or just other minor things like catching totem sized pokemon.

    >a good chunk of the USUM's gameplay section is just listing out new pokemon and z crystals while Platinum's just split that into its own section
    It's already grim.

    You should know by now that if a poster only has "actual arguments" in an infographic they stole and the only arguments they bother to type out are genwarring and insulting others, it's a discord/sharty post.

    Someone who actually holds these opinions would defend them.

    You seem to have cut the DP to Pt change list short.
    Weird.

    Because the Gen 7 games are all about the story and USUM fricking butchered it.

    Third versions are a scam
    Splitting it into two is an even bigger scam
