So I just realized I have like 70 bucks as an Amazon gift card from some shoes I got in christmas that didn't fit... so I thought instead of this Id get the new pokemon games.
Are they worth it? Do this new pokemon games still hold your hand with god awful unskipable tutorials and hours long cut scenes? Cus thats what really threw me off in sword/shield. Also, hows the lag?
Should I just get the shoes instead /vp/?
Get the shoes, OP
tbh getting the game is a lot more tempting even though all my shoes are worn down and i could really use some new ones. But getting the games would be so much more fun theoretically... as long as the frames arent too bad and they cooled it with the fking unbareable cuts scenes from the previous titles
You can brag to other people and impress them with those shoes. Pokemon games? Not so much. Think about long term investment, OP.
I didn't play them so I can't give you an opinion, but after sword/shield and the reviews I read online, I would go for the shoes.
I'll never buy a pokemon game again till I read positive reviews.
the game has less annoying tutorials than gen 5.
What about compared to gen 8? Sword and shield made me quit after 20 mins cus the tutorial would always make me fall asleep
okay....not sure why that's relevant when Gen 5 wasn't very restrictive....but thanks (?)
Get the shoes. S/V is borderline Sonic '06 tier garbage. The only reason people are still eating it up is because they're slaves to the franchise.
>S/V is borderline Sonic '06 tier garbage
stop pretending you’ve ever actually played sonic 06
Stop pretending that SV is good
where did I say it’s good?
I accept your concession
Pirated them yeasterday, played about 4 hours
>no set battle option
>wild battles give a frickton of xp
>rival is annoying
>talking cutscenes are long and would insult even a child's intelligence
>characters look like corporate art
>overworld looks like shit
Shit game breh, pirate or don't bother. I've been saying this for 10 years and it's just getting worse.
>no set battle option
holy frick it's that bad huh?
There's a patch in late Feb. Wait and see if there's any news on performance after it releases. The intro is a flog but then it just lets you get in with doing whatever you want after about 2 hours
That patch will only do away the dupe glitch. Mark my word
Just buy it OP. It's a fun game despite some flaws. Better than Sw/Sh by far.
I was on the fence for ages, got it as a gift and kicked myself for not buying sooner.
Get the shoes, anon. You can always do the right thing and pirate the shitty games instead.
SV are the best games in the series. Get SV
Please get the shoes. Do not support this anti-consumer slop. It is an unforgivably bad game
it's casualized and undercooked, but very breezy
i didn't play any other switch pokemon games, so i can't compare it to gen 8, but for what it's worth i did enjoy it more than sun/moon
> amazon gift card from some shoes I got in christmas that didn't fit
>Do this new pokemon games still hold your hand
Please pay attention during english class kid
Not in it's current state. If you don't get a shitton of glitches (I didn't notice anything big in my playthrough) the main game is decent. Problem is post-game there is literally nothing to do except raid and raids are awful. 6/10, not worth $60.
homie you can install ryujinx and play scarlet/violet perfectly fine for FREE, even got the multiplayer if you have a friend willing to play it with you
Just play the game on emulator, it runs better on pc anyway. Look up fitgirl repack for a very easy way to get the game with a working emu with almost no effort.
A good pair of shoes will hold more value than SV.
Wrong. Even most "good" shoes are a depreciating asset, like cars. Pokemon SV will only increase in value over time, especially if sealed.
Get Pokémon Legends Arceus instead. Pokémon Scat and Vomit are atrocious, only genuine shiteaters defend it.
PLA is shitty garbage and you're a shiteater if you think it's good. See I can play this game too
They are both shit, but SV is worse out of two somehow.
Nah. You're just a bitter and jaded loser manchild who thinks that if the game doesn't cater specifically to your exact wants, it's garbage.
>game is a severely undercooked mess full of bugs and glitches almost at the level of Sonic 06
>somehow, it's everyone's else's fault but devs
Stop licking boots, moronic shill, and face reality.
SV bugs are nowhere near as bad as Sonic 06. And yes, it is your fault for expecting no bugs or glitches in a game from a company who for the past several years has been forced to pump out yearly releases to secure sales from the moronic masses like you.
>SV bugs are nowhere near as bad as Sonic 06.
Stopped reading there. Wow, you're fricking moronic. Like, wow. You must have a room temperature IQ (in Celcius!). I'm surprised you haven't suffocated yet because you forgot how to breathe! Wow, you're such a moron. Wow. May God have mercy on your soul.
>moron has the audacity to call someone else moronic
so cute :3
Shoes. Anyone telling you to buy SV is a Nintendo bootlicker and trying to trick you
>shills for shoes
>calls other people bootlickers
>buy the game and end up licking gayfreak's boots
>buy the shoes and others start licking your boots instead
Shoes are a better option.
>5 years later
>shoes are dirty, worn and faded from usage
>Pokemon SV still pristine and probably better than at release from patches and DLC
Your ability for critical reasoning is severely hindered by your irrational and blind hatred.
>SV causes literal brain damage to shills
I'm sorry for you, anon.
>no u
so brave. so strong. yasssss slay queen
>moronic shills
>n-no u
lmao you're such fricking losers. Imagine simping for the incompetent multibillionaire developers.
Keep seething angry incel virgin. Meanwhile Pokemon will continue being a top selling quality franchise that millions enjoy. :^)
>millions
>enjoy
lmao, more like suffer through.
I liked them, but bruh. Buy those fricking shoes.
upvoted
Get the shoes. They even took out the battle tower so there's nothing to do after beating the league.
I would wait for dlc and see what it is, without duping glitch this game isn't worth anything even if it's fun, dlc will tell
get the shoes or Legends Arceus
I'd wait until March when the patches have come in
I mean, legends is fricking garbage, you have fun for like first few hours but then it becomes boring and annoying, sv is just gen 9 with improved overworld
Are you 14? How can you not afford shoes and a game?
I don’t know how old you are, but you should never pick a video game over shoes, regardless of how good the game is. Get your priorities straight, frick is wrong with you?
I bought Scarlet recently for 50 dollars. It seems odd. I've been around the map a lot. It seems pretty small and run into the same pokemon a lot. I also literally run into pokemon to start battles which is very frustrating because they can be very small. The story lines are odd and seem poorly spaced out. Gyms are still a joke and you aren't forced to fight random trainers. I'm not sure if that's a good thing.
Most of my time has just been running around getting mons I like to barely use them against a few fights.
It runs poorly too.
Not OP but I'm thinking about buying Scarlet since I think Slither Wing is cute and it has more exclusives I'm interested in.
>Worth it?
Not even. You can't even pay me to play that shit.
